Me 3.... Loved Other M's 2.5D System!

Love republic commando. One of my favorite star wars games.

Keep the food ones coming!

@CEObrainz
I think this project looks so cool, thanks for your work!

Ah man, I don't have time for this game, but I may not be able to resist! 😂

Looks cool! I like the artstyle. And idea

This is so cool! Would love to see an Earthbound remake.

@nessisonett
Got that backwards bro😀

Wow! I can hardly believe the series is back! And there will be some great cameo opporitunities in this one. Can't wait!

I...
I can't believe it.
One of my favorite series in gaming. They said it was done for, but NO! This is amazing!
I'm just so excited!

@Einherjar
I think what @JasmineDragon meant, and I was going to say something similar, is that the whole fire emblem thing isn't as big a deal as some people think. A small but vocal percentage is upset, but it will not really affect Nintendo as a company, or even the game's sales, in any major way. I would agree with him on that (if that's not what you meant JazmineDragon, then I apolagize).

@PlywoodStick @callmeking17
Well, you have to remember that this game has been out if Japan for quite some time.

Anyway, I expected this game to have DLC, but it's still a bit of a downer to know there is $17 dollars worth of extras, especially when the full game is so expensive already.
I wonder how much content there is before the dlc...

@ikki5
I'm not really sure if you get what I'm saying. I am not siding with the pro-censorship group.

As for splitting the fan base, it was happening anyway with this game. You talk like there is nobody pleased that this has been taken out. There are plenty of people pleased with it. Especially many longtime fans of the series. Just look at the comment section.
But that's not even my point, really.

I didn't call anyone entitled JUST for wanting to be equal with Japan. I even said that's fine in my first comment. What I'm saying, and what I have been saying, it that many of these gamers feel that they are owed it, by Nintendo, and the underlying problem there is entitlement. I never said whether it was a smart move or not for Nintendo, because that's not my point.

Whether or not the removal lessens or increases the quality of the product is personal opinion, and as I was trying to demonstrate in my analogy with movies, that opinion will differ depending what audience you are a part of.

@sillygostly
Your comment dissapeared. Was that intentional?

Now you can call me pro-censorship, or an apologist, or whatever else, but I think a lot of people who are angry over this should try to see it from another angle.

Because, it's one thing to dislike a change, and voice your opinion, but some of the comments I've seen in this thread really are over the top. What are these people contributing to the game, aside from the desire to buy it and the 40 bucks to buy it with? If they no longer want the game after the content has been removed, no one's forcing them to buy it. They haven't paid for it yet. They didn't pay for the game to be made. The people who designed and/or paid for the game made the decision to remove things.

It's not even censorship, really. Nobody forced Nintendo to remove the content, they did it themselves, and they can because they own it.
And of course I understand why some of these people said the things they did. If this had been a feature in the game that I cared for, I might have quickly typed up an angry comment in a rage, but if I thought about it a bit more before I typed, I could have stopped myself, and I'm hoping some of the people here think about this a bit more as well.

@ikki5 In response to your comment #100,
Yes, there are problems, but I hope that you, and some of the other people in this thread, can see the more important, underlying problem in this case, and that would be the entitlement of the fans. Like I mentioned above, the fans who want to buy this game haven't even paid for it yet, but many are absolutely outraged at the removal. Doesn't that seem odd? And it happens all the time. The people who own the game made the removal, and THEY are perfectly entitled to.

And the people who feel that Nintendo is "babying them" when this sort of thing happens, I have to assume that they really just do not get it. They think that Nintendo is doing this because they care what content is suitable for their customers? While I can't read the minds of the localization team to see the real reason for the removal, this minigame was almost certainly removed to make it more appealing to a general audience, thus making Nintendo more money, and as the owners of the game, and the ones who funded it, they have every right to do so.

But, anyway, I know some people feel strongly about this, and I'm not trying to attack anyone. This is just kind of the way it is.

For a long time I've thought that a point system would be a perfect way for Nintendo to introduce achievments. If that's what this is, then I'm exited! I can't wait to hear more!

@AlexSora89
You're despicable!

I can't believe people are angry over this. I don't understand why.

Dang, the multiplayer was the best part!
I'd love a sequel to this on the 3ds, but I guess federation force is the closest we'll get.

This article sure is strange. Was it rushed?

Wow....... I can't believe it...

It won't be an NX launch title. If anything, they will release it as a remaster 6-12 months after the NX is released, like Sony did with The Last of US.

Shoot, I would do it for a Marth.

@MasterWario
Take a look at my previous comment. You probably own a smartphone. Really, wouldn't it be SIMPLER to just tap a "nintendo button" that replicates the 3ds home screen on your phone? All you would need is a "3ds grip" your phone attaches to with a second screen and buttons. While that may be a bit pricey, it would be cheaper than a 3ds, and then everyone saves money.
And , most phones are more powerful and have a better display than a 3ds, so that's a plus.

@Yorumi
I partly agree with you, however I don't think Nintendo should just go 3rd party. They would be viewed as a failure like when Sega did. Rather, stay in the competition. They can even release their own "handheld" or "console", because , what are the reasons people would prefer a dedicated system? Controller, UI , dedicated online shop, that kind of thing. Most of those could be achieved digitally on a phone.
Take the ps vita for example (only because it is more in the shape of a phone than the 3ds). Couldnt the "ps vita" be achieved with a high quality grip for your phone that had a back touch pad, that came with a download of the ps vita UI? And then, when you want some console games , you just slip your phone into a cradle hooked to your tv and use a downloaded ps4 interface. All you would need is a controller, and you've got an all in one console that saves Sony the cost of producing machines and saves you the cost of buying them.

@MasterWario
Exactly. If nintendo released all their handheld games on smartphone, they wouldn't really need a dedicated device anymore. And the smartphone would probably be more powerful too. It saves Nintendo so much mine, and WHAT would be the downside?
and Quality wouldn't be an issue if the game is identical to what they release on 3ds.

@AshFoxX
Your last sectance kind of goes along with the point I'm trying to make. WHY could a smartphone replace a dedicated hanheld device? Or a home console even?
I don't think many have thought about that.

@Yorumi
You say that Nintendo doesn't care about their fans because they left the Wii u to die, and because they neglect series that don't sell well. Don't you think maybe that's BECAUSE they still want to save the Wii u ? They're making Mario and Zelda games because that's what attracts people to Nintendo systems. I would even argue that that's more for the fans than not. Just look at the hype surrounding the new Zelda. Yes, there are some fans who would prefer a new f-zero, or kid icarus, but the majority of the fans would prefer Zelda. They EXPECT Zelda. Imagine if Nintendo released a fzero for the Wii u but no Zelda. Fans would panic and complain, and say that Nintendo have "forgotten" the series (Just look at metroid for proof of that. It's only been 4 or so years and people are already saying that it's "neglected" like you did) Do really, Nintendo is acually keeping the fans happy by releasing a Zelda every generation. More fans like it, as reflected in the sales figures. Then, when that's covered , they can deliver, say, a new Star Fox. The way I see it Nintendo haven't forgotten the Wii u at all, they're actually doing a pretty good job keeping the dedicated fans pleased.(now virtual console, that's a different story).
Anyway, about the actual article, I've been doing a lot of thinking about this, and my question to the people panicking about this is: what would be the actual DOWNSIDE of Nintendo DID release all of their 3Ds/future handheld games on phones as well? What's ONE?

@Quorthon
Wait a minute now, you combined Xbox one AND PS4 games for that list. That isn't very fair, at least with the point you're trying to make.
I could make a list that long or longer of all the games that haven't come to Xbox One as well.

@Sakuraichu
Wow. That's disgusting.

This was one of the best directs in a long time for me! I was really hoping the next fire emblem would be on 3ds instead of Wii u.
Anyone in the comments complaining should take a step back and realize THEY JUST RELEASED A NEW FIRE EMBLEM GAME!
@turnmebackwards
What genres ARE you interested in?

I disagree about Batman forever SNES's music. How could anyone call that beautiful title theme "some of the blandest music ever committed to code"? The Arkham Asylum stage theme is really great too.

Worst thing I ever saw.

The title seems a bit misleading. Reading the quote he's saying that he "would love to have Call of Duty on our platform" and "I would love to have any of the big blockbuster, multi-platform titles".
But then he says that if he had to choose, he would rather Nintendo get their exclusives than the multi-platform titles, so that Nintendo could provide a different experience, instead of a different version of the same thing.

I expect the announcement of a master quest packed in too, just like with OOT3D.

Hmm, why aren't there articles on all the studies that say they do? Not that it would matter. On these kinds of topics, gamers are going believe what they want to believe, no matter what some study shows.

There could be a price cut. OR there could be a highly advertised sale during the Christmas season.
Because anybody who's going to buy one anytime soon would buy it then, and then there can be a price cut mid/later next year, when the reason for the price cut would be the regular reduction of price as the console gets older, instead of "because Microsoft did it".
EDIT: Reading closer instead of skimming, I see that this is what Microsoft is doing, actually. I thought we were talking permanent price reductions. Oops.

@RupeeClock
Makes sense. I've got a full 8gb in mine, and I can see someone with a 16 or 32 being much slower.
If that's the case, I hope they're using the exact same SD cards for both 3DSs in the video.

Hmm... I don't think my 3DS XL is as slow as the one in the video. I must be imagining it.

@Mega719 Nintendo said that there would be online features but no online co-op mode, and that would be why people thought that this could have been an online mode. It is still possible...

I had a gbc game simply called mickey's racing or something like that. I don't know how many have played or remember that game but it's is one of my favorite racers ever, despite the limited technology of gbc. It was kind of a sim/kart racer if i remember corectly. I had as much fun with that old game as any mario kart.

This is awesome! Plus its another ad for MK8, which it needs. I think the people saying it looks out of place have convinced themselves in their minds that it does. Try imagining a couple spikes on the hood and see if that helps.

Nintendo could at least offer one Wii U set with the pro controller $50 cheaper and one bundled with the Gamepad for those who want it, right? I see NO REASON why not.

@ikki5
Well then it's really a question of how smart Nintendo is. After that Smash Bros direct, I think Nintendo are really taking this game seriously. If its released before the holiday, you can be pleasantly surprised. If it doesn't release until 2015, I'll be surprised, but I won't be complaining. Complaining about a company "lying" (like you seem to be doing about VC) makes no sense to me. But I won't get into that.
And about the VC, cheer up! It was really good for a month up until last week, but more GBA games are coming soon, so hopefully it will improve again then.

@XCWarrior @ikki5
True, but the Wii U needs this game before holiday. I'm sure Nintendo are pouring everything in this game to get it released before then. They may have said winter but they meant holiday.

This looks like it was made by youtubers. Oh well, it was entertaining.

There's been a lot of good weeks lately! Will it last, though...

The GBA game "Nightmare in dreamland" had some good minigames and modes. It had a racing minigame, one that had something to do with bombs, and the best version of quick draw. Those are my favorites.

Listening to the iTunes previews... I like it. Some of them sound like they'd fit right in to a DKC though.
I never really gave this game a look before, but I may consider it now.

The comments for this are really sad. The guy does an awesome interview for this site and people insult him? Maybe before discussing how arrogant Mew2King sounds you should be thinking of how mean some of the comments you're posting come across.

To those who are saying that this list is disappointing or too short, these are the "biggest games" coming to Wii U, not all the games coming. If none of these appeal to you, there's still a bunch more games coming this year. There's really no need to be so pessimistic.
Anyway, I'm glad Project Cars was on this list. It deserves it.
