I'm kind of shocked they bothered to clarify this. They normally let lies snowball but I guess they realised a game they paid for was getting too much nonsense spoken about it. This was a lightning quick response by recent Nintendo standards....

The ones in EA's LotR games were pretty good.

Lego City Undercover's cutscenes were better than the game but I can't remember the intro.

I've got an ultra rare invisible Captain Rainbow Amiibo. Will sell for £50.

@Spoony_Tech I agree with you that with its current features the game length is just right but if they added more modes and more options I don't think they should all be short.

If the want it to grow, they need more customisation and longer battles

This has just made me yearn for Nintendo to release more Fire Emblem on VC and make a new Wars game for Wii U!

It's almost like they're scared of 'western' games being successful. The utter rubbish that has passed Nintendo's famous quality control in the last few years is unprecedented and it seems like every year a couple of really promising games get mothballed.

I'm interested to see the same reviewers, who slated it with the gamepad, suddenly proclaim this game is great despite missing most of what made it good in the first place.

I can't completely disagree but I sometimes think its their insistence on making the visuals of their games appeal to kids that are too young to play their games that holds them back. By the time a child has any say over what presents it gets they will probably think most Nintendo games are too young for them.

I think every time they tried to be bold their
fans deserted them and bought the Mario branded filler instead but I also think they're stifling the creativity of their own dev teams by having them make things like Wii Party U.

To be perfectly honest though, I'm not sure why any of this 'terrible e3' is headline worthy. Almost straight after launch they admitted 3DS 'would be their main profit driver' which basically meant Wii U was getting scraps. They even slashed their targets down to a level that made it clear they don't expect many more sales.

Most of the graphics on the trailer look fine but StarFox used to be a series that raised the bar in terms of graphics, sound, cinematics and playability. Nintendo need to grow some balls and make the NX infinity billion times more powerful than Wii U.

SNES remix

I hope this plays as well as Wii Sports Club Tennis. It will only be worth playing if there's a decent online community

You can always count on John Numbers!

How much is it if you own Sketchpad?

I just want a nicely varied, fast paced adventure with lots of flying, shooting and barrel rolling. If the game is a 1/4 as quotable as SF64 then its still one the most quotable games out there.

Do these figures include the stolen copies?

I've had no issues with connecting at all. The longest I've had to wait for a game is about one round of Squid Jump.

My only gripes are the lack of content and lack of changing loadout mid game. I also need a new gamepad battery and charger. I'd like to see 8 vs 8 because sometimes the maps seem a bit empty.

I don't fully understand why they couldn't get a couple of overly simplistic arenas as filler for launch but what there is, is fun.

I like it, I'm glad I get to play it now but it will be a much better game when they add content.
It could do with a martyrdom perk.

Reminds me of a cross between Master Higgins and Rick Dangerous

It would be nice to be able to draw on the screen to compensate for the terrible analysis that BBC have on MotD

Mine arrived at my house earlier today but I ordered with Shopto!

Gamecube, Saturn and Dreamcast VC is all that I need. Some Arcade classics wouldn't go amiss. I also wish C64 and Amiga were available. Amiga is in danger of being the best forgotten gaming platform.

I'm pretty annoyed because all I've played is the tutorial in 4 sessions

They really should remake the first 2 SNES games and 64 into an HD trilogy with a bit of Coop and multiplayer dog fights

Does the Zapper work on any of these modern TVs?

I blame the Sonic fans as much as Sega. They've lapped up a series of sub par Sonic games, steadily worsening each time, going back as far as Sonic Adventure. That's why Sega will let any old rubbish with Sonic in it get made.

Just when I gave in and spent my 7000 points on games I didn't have time to play....

What's the eshop price?

@Game-Over I've never understood why Capcom never did anything more with SF3 and Sega's lack of Saturn and Dreamcast VC is also annoying (but saving me ££££££).

Sega Rally would be great fun on the gamepad!

I was skeptical until I saw Barry Leitch was involved. I still listen to the Top Gear soundtrack when I go running. I wonder if Kemco ever revisit Top Gear. I've been told the BBC pretty much killed any chance of any more games called Top Gear

I missed it because of football. Kind of upset

The final paragraph made me think....

... What are Retro actually working on at the moment?

I am torn between getting the cheaper disc based version or the download... I could also do with playing the N64 version first but I'm holdin out for a gamepad version

Hope they do a 3D version and have a music maker as good as the one in Super Mario Paint

@PvtOttobot Scotland's selection of restaurants/tastebuds is not representative of the rest of the UK. There's only one Chinese restaurant in Dundee and it's called 'Bon Appetit'.

London doesn't have enough Mexican places but it has plenty, including Taco Bell.

My main wish is HD updates of the previous entries as track DLC and online Grand Prix with guaranteed full races.

Mario Kart 9 should be an open world Burnout style version.

I just hope that Nintendo flood the market with them and leave all the ebay profiteers with tons of useless stock.

This doesn't mean much. I reckon we'll still be getting SNES games nobody wants right up til the death of Wii U. I'm vainly waiting on:
StarFox
StarFox 2
Sim City
Mario RPG
Top Gear
Mortal Kombat 2
and so many more

@pyrotek85 the world might all be Chinese or Indian speaking by the time we've got interstellar trAvel

I also anticipate some fan rage if there's any kind of significant difference in EU/NA release dates

My guess is September release date will be suggested but not confirmed

Hope they got a decent range or English accents rather than everyone being typical American sounding JRPG characters.

I think a bigger problem is that Sony have the gaming media in their pocket and Nintendo have gone from having the best marketing they've ever had to the worst in about 3 years. At the moment, Nintendo could try to sell the Holodeck from Star Trek for £99 with the best versions of every popular game and people would still be turned off by it.

These things go in cycles so I expect all this to change in the next couple of generations. We should stop talking about it and start playing

What did they give the original?

34/40 is often given to games that I like and often given to games I don't. The real quiz is the Metro Gamecentral... I mean Nintendo life score!

I'm sure MK64 would be more popular. I hope we get the 60hz one when it finally arrives.

Any news on this week's Nintendo Download?

I find the way they do everything to be completely backwards. MKW sold 30M+ units and the reward for fans was a sequel with slightly less content than MKW. Brawl sold less well than MKW and SSBU seems to be bigger than Brawl.

By now we should have every retro track available (preferably for free) and 32 new tracks before DLC gets a look in. Hopefully MKNX finally gives us the ultimate Mario Kart game.

I'm not complaining though, MK8 is excellent and the DLC is the best value you could hope for.

You forgot about MSR. The best arcade/simulator hybrid there had been at that point.

I'd be tempted if they add to all my other compatible games. Is there a compatibility chart for these ones yet?

Rainbow Road Wii and every N64 track please
