Nothing beats the Famicom version, though.

@remlapgamer Actually, Nintendo have released Gomoku/Othello for several consoles prior regardless of how many games (and great games at that) they have so I don't think that's the reason.

@JunkRabbit Coming from a business family, I can assure you that he likely looked pretty stern when talking to his employees.

You smile to the customers because you want them to like you, and by extension the company you represent. But on your day-to-day work, you're stern when you talk business with the people below you to communicate that you're in charge and is being serious. Doesn't mean you can't ever crack a smile at work, of course

The problem with these kinds of statistics is that English-speaking countries make up much less than half of Nintendo's market, about a 1/4-1/3 I presume. We also have Japanese, Spanish, Portugese, French, Chinese, German, Czech, Greek, Hungarian, Turkish, Dutch, Polish, Russian, Irish, Italian, Finnish, Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish to take into account.

Giving it a "2" us being far too nice, IMO. A former matazine here in Sweden would give a "0" too these kinds of games.

I've seen bootlegs that look more like authentic, licensed toy than those actually licensed things.

@KTT I do believe your argument about their powers are fair, albeit I still think it's pretty stupid from a development standpoint.

Excuse me for being unclear, but I meant predominantly mythical Pokemon instead of normal legendaries. Your theory about TV Tokyo who makes the anime having any major involvment when it comes to creating mythical ones can sadly be discarded. The Pokémon TM is split between Game Freak, Nintendo, and TPC, with TPC in turn being split between Game Freak, Nintendo, and Creatures Inc. and it's TPC who owns the rights to the anime - meaning TV Tokyo have to do their bidding aslong as they want to continue make episodes and movies.

Your point about Ho-oh is interesting and something I'd missed. It may not be a reboot, but it would be the perfect opportunity to canonoze it's importance in "Pokémon - I Choose You!"; after all, what their original reason for showing Ho-oh (and so spontaniously at that) have been lost to the point that I've read about TV Tokyo and Game Freak even disagreeing if that WAS Ho-oh, EVEN after that was reconfirmed before Ash left for Hoenn. If we're lucky, we'll even see Ash's father and hear why it took him so long to reach Viridian... 😉

@Kalmaro I think it's gonna be great. Ash in the main series is bland and stupid, but is also optimistic and has some great moments to make it work for the anime but not for the movies. However, since this movie will seemingly focus more on Ash's arc in the show rather than the usual movie stuff, I'm actually pretty optimistic.

@KTT You forgot how they constantly make the legendaries of the week which are supposed to have powers beyond human comprehension be more instinctive than the most primite Pokémon and how they constantly nerf them way too much, having creatures implied by the games to be capable of destroying planets threaten a smaller city. It's also always the same city Ash, his friends, and whatever calms it down just super-conviently happens to be in, and the destruction equally super-conviently after Ash & co already have gotten some exposition about both the legend of the Pokémon and the legend of the deus ex machina.

It's the same location, the same people, the same kind of Pokémon, the same plot always happening in the same order, and you always know which legendary will star in the next movie.

I nowadays just watch/read what Skulshurtugal and other reviewers say and have done since the fifth movie, by which the creativity already had wained. The movies we're already on a thight one-per-year-basis-schedule, but it was when Game Freak started pumping out way too many mythical Pokémon for distribution that it became impossible for the creators to make any movie that felt like something they actually not felt forced to do. The first three movies weren't masterpieces either, but showing the might of Mewtwo's powers causing enormous storms, Pokémon and humans from all over the world attempting to reach the Orange Islands to help Ash, or showing landscapes slowly turning into crystals (with some fantastic imagery at that) made the threat feel much more reliable than, y'know, the wrath of God threatening just a random city out-in-nowhere because God is humpty-dumpty enough to be tricked (you got something good to drink, story-writers?) and kill innocents. Mewtwo, Lawrence, Lugia, Entei, Molly, and her father, were also in my eyes very personalized characters.

I think it's good for the writers to just not follow the formula they've had for over a decade now. Preferably I'd prefer if they never follow it again. A much better formula IMO would be having one where they focus on the story ever other year and one focusing on the mythical every other. That way they can both make the Pokémon-movies they want to make, while also using some of those marketing-wise lesser-important years to focus on creating a better plot for the ones focusing on mythicals.

That rumor is not true. It's almost guaranteed that GCN will pop up on the VC since Nintendo've expressed their wish to put it there for 4.5 years now, but that specific rumor is just BS.

The people responsible for putting games on the VC must've had a little too much of alcohol or any drug if they were to put the original Animal Crossing on the VC complete with the NES games as that rumor suggests. Those 20 games are ever-green and, given the cost of VC games, Nintendo would've made a remarkably larger profit if the average person bought just 2 of AC's NES-games instead of AC itself. It's not like someone would buy it unbeknowst of the NES games when it has been it's most famous feature since the earliest previews. Ofc, it's all assuming they wouldn't put it at $100 or something like that...

I'm pretty sure they don't mean biggest Nintendo launch over all when they say "record numbers", but perhaps biggest Pokémon-launch over all or biggest Pokémon-launch since RBY, or why not biggest Nintendo 3DS-game launch overall? Surely games like Wii Sports and Super Mario World had a better launch than selling less than 1.5 million copies the first week.

The official list of what can be expected in this game:

-SM64DS Rabbits
-MIPS
-Star Bunnies
-Nabbit
-Rabbit Mario from SML2

Why? Because those are minor Mario-characters and rabbits.

@KoopaTheGamer No prob. I presume most people don't. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone either that don't love overhead perspective-racing.

@KoopaTheGamer Wave Race 64*
The original, less-known game called simply "Wave Race" is a Game Boy-game and I'm highly doubtful it's on the Wii U eShop anywhere.

I wouldn't bet a single horse on it.

Nintendo have a plentiful trademarks they don't use. It can be that they simply don't want other companies to use a title/name they have used on three games.

@penamiguel92 Style difference. He had a different hairstyle in DPPt than BW or ORAS, and RGBY/FRLG takes place at the same time as RSE/ORAS. Ofc it doesn't explain why he had his BW-hairstyle in Episode 5 (only 2) since GSC/HGSS takes place at the same time as DPPt.

@jpfan1989 From what I recall, James Bond is a name and not a title. The only movie to use it as a title was a non-canon one.

@Noelemahc I kow. I was just kidding around.

Kirby Pachinko?

Was it made by Konami?

@samuelvictor They do, in a way. Only now you have to install it through homebrew. Sadly, the physical way was killed off by Nintendo first chance they got when the Wii was new. They were much more crazy-obsessed with removing everything exploitable back then...

@chuckie-egg Sky Skipper was a noteworthy failure for Nintendi, but was nevertheless released in Japanese arcades. That picture however, is of a prototype US cabinet which was never released.

The thing with arcade cabinets are that, like with ordinary consoles, their hardware needs to suit the country it's produced in due to different wall voltages and video formats. The US version of the Sky Skipper arcade cabinet was cancelled whereas the Japanese wasn't, much like the Chinese Wii was cancelled whereas the Wiis of other regions wasn't.

It is erroneous to claim that's the only Sky Skipper cabinet ever made, because it was released in Japan in 1981. Albeit most of them where quickly replaced with Popeye, I would be very surprised if there isn't alot Sky Skipper cabinets that's been stored away and forgotten.

Oh for poop's shake...

1) The dock has been confirmed to contain extra hardware, part of which is there to not look like the games look bad while running om a tv, therefore it would be a stupid idea to remove

2) The screen is most likely touch screen and the right Joy-con likely has a pointer, which can be used for the same purposes. Part of why the Wii U made a horribly first impression was that they focused too much on what the console can do and too little on the games in it's reveal trailer

3) It's not like touch screens or Wiimotes was super-important for any game they were used in, except the Wii series and a couple Kirby games. Those can literally be counted on one hand...

4) If any company can deliver on any hardware it's Nintendo, so why complain? They've showed us for a whooping 43 years now that they can deliver AAA-games, whetever it's for their first or latest console

Nintendo have used this strategy for over 20 years now. It both shows how the final product will look like instead of an aesthetically ugly prototype, and also removes the hud which are somewhat distracting in "normal" trailers.

I won't miss it at all. It was a great feature on the DS, in the sense that it made people buy the system and it's games, but I can hardly think of any game across the three systems where it was an important feature and no one at all where both a touch screen and an ordinary screen were neccessary at the same time. Wii U's GamePad had some good use since it made the console semi-portable and good for those to lazy to turn on the TV. The NS screen will likely be touch screen and will therefore be able to replace all three consoles uses of two screens.

Considering they listed DeNA as being involved with NS, not to mention that money-milking service known as the Virtual Console, I'd say there's no chance that thing ain't a touchscreen.

Japan must really love Mahjong. Nintendo has released like a billion Mahjong-games across all their platforms over the last 33 years.

If I wanna play Mahjong, I pop it into my Famicom. Why understand the text when you don't understand the rules anyway?

@ThomasBW84 @123akis It's just some random glitch that happens on certain websites sometime. Nothing important. If refreshing doesn't work, try to close the tab and loaf Nlife in another. If that doesn't work either, clear cache and wait a couple minutes.

Regarding those comments about China - Nintendo's been releasing games there through it's jointly-owned daughter company iQue. It's console lineup so far has been all portables starting with GBA aswell as the N64 (as the "iQue Player"), with the Wii having been planned for release thete but cancelled for unknown reasons.

And how exactly is the PS4 Pro set up to be a problem for the NX? Time has again and again proved that launching superior versions of older consoles with exclusive games is a stupid idea, to say the least. The vast majority of potential buyers have almost always in such cases already purchased the almost identical older version and those that haven't can still play it's games through backwards compatibility, meaning developers rarely care about developing games for it simply because they have so many more potential buyers if they develop it for the older version instead, meaning players don't have much reason to buy the new one.

Xbox will be Nintendo's main competitor next-gen, which is a good thing for both of them. Nintendo and Microsoft have had good relations ever since the Game Boy Color days, and and their consoles are as different as night and day.

This sounds bogus, unless both Iwata and Kimishima both liked to smoke some before going to work.

There's no way neither of these geniuses - especially not Kimishima - wouldn't see the problem with having a console that's tech-wise two generations behind, and they most definetly wouldn't claim that BOTW would look better on NX because it wouldn't. And like Kimishima also said, good software is neccessary for the console to succeed - they wouldn't get anything from 3rd party developers by using 10 year old tech.

And no, it wouldn't make sense for it to be just slightly more developed than the Wii U just because other handhelds have been that to other consoles. Nintendo combined both their tech-departments last year, meaning that if the handheld/stationary hybrid-rumor is true, Nintendo would be able to produce a console about 3x as powerful as the Wii if this was 2011. But this is 2016, and when also considering that Nintendo also saves cost by increased efficency which means even more money they can use for console production, I'd say it's atleast 3-4x as powerful as the Wii U.

@edhe Well said. I myself discuss politics alot, but IMO Nlife and other people in the entertainment sector must accept that it's not their field in cases like this. Entertainment should never politics, and almost everyone wants to keep it that way.

@Damo You misunderstod me.

What I meant was that it's BS to paint the critizicers as a bunch of misogynists whom hates the movie simply because they hate seeing anything else than men star in movies.

In reality, all people I've heard critizing the movie due to it's the female cast and myself in general don't give a damn about which character has which gender as long as the characters are well-fit for whomever plays it and the story is good.

The original movie could very well have been good even if it had featured women, but this ain't the original movie. It's a remake of it whoose only purpose is to switch the genders of the actors only for the sake of it which is not only actually sexist, but a family-friendly political message aimed at kids whom are too young IMO to have political messages aimed at.

No one I've heard have critisized the movie for sexist reasons, and as far as I can tell that's just some bs journalists have came up with. It's an unwanted remake, the effects are terribly bad, and the black lady are handled racist by the movie.

The only reason this movie exists serm to be that the lads at Sony wanted to replace the men with women, and replacing a gender with the other gender simply for the sake of it are actual sexism. I disgustingly hate the thought of replacing men with women or women with men in remakes.

Seems redundant to list both Greenland Denmark when Greenland's part of Denmark. It's like listing both the United States and Puerto Rico.

@TheWPCTraveler @Ninten-san Trodde alla här skaffat det redan 😕

I'd actually like to see one with the Color TV-Game or the old Arcade games. They're hard to come bqck and costs thousands of dollars, so putting them out there would both give most players new experiences and sell like ice cream during the summer.

@rjejr I'm pretty sure Nintendo had a pretty huge hand in both. Atleast if they've learned anything from the 90's when they let other companies develop games based on their franchises for the CD-i and PC, all of whom are incredibly bad even in their own right.

Hm, I'd say we give 'em a break. Pokémon GO is a really huge game after all, so being able to do further bug-fixing is probably why they didn't release it worldwide simultanously. Performance issues can likely be attributed to too many downloading it illegally, forcing the servers to deal with way more users than intended.

Miis began development the decade before Hamtaro was concieved. You even made an article when Miyamoto talked about that way back at GDC 2007; https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2007/03/shigeru_miyamoto_address_game_developers_conference

I bought one when it was new. I was young and my nearest game store was having problems, so I decided to buy it cheap as it was together with Party mini, Zany Cards, and Puzzle Collection. Nowadays, I have them on their own row in my gaming bookshelves, like my other games and consoles.

@senshu No, but it just wouldn't add up.

Barely any knowledge of the artifacts and mythology of pre-flood Hyrule had survived to the time of TWW and had been completly forgotten by the time of ST as of what I've heard, yet atleast some like the Master Sword and the Sheikah Symbol plays a very large role in BOTW. And then we have the political mumbo-jumbo too, since each island had became separate legal entites and unifying with the lands of new Hyrule would make little sense, even less for the monarchy to move back if it did. Don't forget the geography, either - Aonuma's team have previously avoided incorporating any place in multiple timelines if they haven't appeared in a game set in the unified timeline, yet BOTW's map is a combo of LOZ/AOL's, OOT's, and TP's.

I go on GameXplain's side and say that the timeline placement doesn't make any sense. Aonuma's team have previously never used a species or place in more than one timeline if they haven't been introduced in the unified timeline.

The Old Man is most likely the old man from the Downfall timeline, as is the Koroks in the Adult timeline whom is the Kokiri in the others aswell as Zoras whom evolved into Rito's in the Adult timeline.

As for locations, the Master Sword seems to be from the Adult timeline due to it's rustiness but isn't where it was in TWW but during ALTTP, and given that Aonuma appears to be going in a more realistic approach this time the Koroks can't have "unflooded" Hyrule. It is scientifically illiterate to believe trees can change water levels on a so large scale, and religiously illiterate to claim mortals can undo what has been caused by the gods.

It should also be noted that, if it was a sequel of TWW the political landscape would likely be very different since the royalty of Europe had left the land and founded "New Hyrule". Also, the Old Man specifically called it abandoned and "in a state of decline" - as in an "Era of Decline".

@Kimite Hoppas vi ses där! Bor i Sverige men ska absolut försöka ta mig till Oslo för detta 😉

@Extremist It ain't like that everywhere in Scandinavia, tho. I live in Sweden, and only once have I ever seen a store offering everyone but Nintendo.

"around the world"? Last time I checked, the "world" didn't consist of only North America, which is were Best Buy have their stores.

@epicdude12302 It is impossible to make a game available in all languages, however; not even Europe gets every language available in English.
