This is something that belongs in a Nintendo Direct Mini. NOT A FREAKING VGX WHAT THE HELL? I am so mad. Zelda U? X? SOMETHING WE WANTED TO SEE? How about and the end of the game, Cranky unzips his costume and is Scrooge McDuck. Because thats the ONLY. REASONNNNNNNNN!!
My opinion was different in the beginning of the year, but there's no way I'm paying $60... the most I'll pay is $40 and even that is a bit much. Don't get me wrong, Wind Waker is a fantastic game and I'd love to play it in HD, but I'm not paying THAT much.
I've played all 5 gens of Pokemon, and I have a pre-order for Pokemon X. I've played a lot of Stadium, Snap, and I'm looking forward to getting Colosseum. But if that Pokken Fighters thing is real, I'll be done with Pokemon. The background is to "edgy", and the fact that when Pokemon is already a game about fighting, you have to make it all traditional? BULL. CRAP. Screw this, unless its 10/10, there's no way I will even consider it.
I haven't had many problems with GameStop. I'm not going to get Metroid Prime Trilogy from them, but I got Xenoblade Cronicles new in December 2012 for $60. I hardly ever have had problems with GameStop in the past, and I will continue to shop there.
I don't know how much more hyped for Pikmin 3 I could be. I loved Pikmin 2, and it's one of my favorite games of all time. Pikmin 1? I didn't really like it other than Olimar's Voyage Log and the personality the game had. I hate being rushed...
I would complain about the fact this is on VC instead of Mario 3, but I'm so proud of NoA for releasing EarthBound, I'll shut up this time. But next time I will strike with RAGE.
Amazing. There's nothing else I can say. I'm speechless. I've been waiting for this game since I was a semi-wee lad (aka 2004), and it seems my near decade of waiting will pay off!
I like the returning power-ups, enemies, and ideas from the classic Mario games that have been present in the NSMB series and Super Mario 3D Land, but this game got it right: we need all-new stuff. Nostalgia is cool, but we need ALL-NEW stuff. I'm tired of putting up with remakes of games from 20 years ago being marketed as "New". This is an example of moving forward. It's packed to the brim with originality, and that's one of the reasons it's one of my favorite 3DS games. It also helps explain why New Super Mario Bros 2 is my least favorite Mario platformer ever.
This was funny in the 90's with Nintendo vs. Sega, and then 3DO vs Nintendo and Sega, then Sony vs Sega (sort of, with the whole DVD player thing), then Atari telling us to do the math and realize that they were "64-bit" in 1994 and Sega and Nintendo were still 16-bit. But now, it's sort of childish to many, but to me it could be a return to an era.
I will so get this for $60, and don't say you wouldn't. My Wind Waker GCN disc cost $30. Double the graphics (and whatever else Nintendo has planned), double the money.

Re: Mother 4 Is On The Way, But It's Not Being Made By Nintendo
You had me so hyped when I saw "Mother 4". But really it was just click bait... Nintendo Life, you're better than that.
Re: Poll: Which Is The Best Super Mario Platformer?
Super Mario Galaxy is a master piece.
If there was a worst, I'd probably pick New Super Mario Bros. 2, which is barely worse than Super Mario Galaxy 2.

@siconlol It's nothing to get excited about, since they swapped the A and B buttons in this version.
Re: Reggie Fils-Aime Confirms Playable Cranky Kong and Release Date for Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
The fact that this was the big announcement makes me want to hang myself.
Re: Reggie Fils-Aime Confirms Playable Cranky Kong and Release Date for Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
This is something that belongs in a Nintendo Direct Mini. NOT A FREAKING VGX WHAT THE HELL? I am so mad. Zelda U? X? SOMETHING WE WANTED TO SEE? How about and the end of the game, Cranky unzips his costume and is Scrooge McDuck. Because thats the ONLY. REASONNNNNNNNN!!
Re: The Legend of Zelda (Tentative Title)
Where's the proof this comes out in 2015?

Re: Rumour: Potential Wii U Pokémon Title Could be a Fighting Game Called Pokkén Fighters

Re: Soapbox: 'Vintage' Used Game Prices Do Nothing to Encourage Customer Loyalty
@Neo-GeoFan I completely agree.

This is the same as the Wii U review...
Re: Feature: A Brief History of Pikmin
I don't know how much more hyped for Pikmin 3 I could be. I loved Pikmin 2, and it's one of my favorite games of all time. Pikmin 1? I didn't really like it other than Olimar's Voyage Log and the personality the game had. I hate being rushed...
Re: Kirby's Dream Land 2 Listed For North American 3DS eShop Release on 1st August
I beat it on Kirby's Dream Collection, I don't give a crap anymore. : I'm just happy with NoA with how they handled EarthBound.
Remember guys, better late than never.

Is it just me or did they re-texture the waterfalls for some reason?

Intriguing.

Yeah... NoA... it's sort of been a year... we're never getting this or Wario Land 3 are we? Didn't think so...
Re: Review: Mega Man (Wii U eShop / NES)
Unforgiving difficulty? This is one of the easiest Mega Man games, I've become really good at it. Mega Man 4 is unforgiving to me.
Re: New Mode And Items Confirmed For Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D
I'm still not going to buy this. I got this game only 3 years ago, why do I need it again for only $10 less?
Re: EarthBound
FINALLY!
Re: Iwata Reveals More Details On New Super Luigi U
Good thing it's DLC... if it wasn't I'd just give up on the Mario series.
Re: New Legend Of Zelda Title Confirmed For Nintendo 3DS, Due Late 2013
I'm pretty sure it's called A Link to the Past 2, if I'm not mistaken, your articles doesn't mention the name.
Re: Believe, People - EarthBound Is Coming To The Virtual Console At Last

Re: Translated 1997 Interview with Miyamoto and Itoi Reveals Nintendo 64 Insights
It would of worked if it came out in 1997 and none of the games got cancelled.

Why is this allowed and Binding of Isaac ISN'T?
Re: Iwata Implies That He Could Step Down Over Sluggish Sales Performance
No, he's just stating that he doesn't want to think about it. If Iwata steps down I will be done with Nintendo Directs. Iwata is awesome!
Re: TiVo And Google Maps Functionality For Wii U Hit By Delay
I was going to get Google Maps but I don't have or care about TiVo.

One of the best Nintendo Directs so far.
