Leave it to Gamestop to have exclusives for a board game.

Nintendo has definitely gotten carried away with local-only co-op. Most people can't do local, and have distant friends they want to spend time with--what about all of them?

"No cutie marks here; these stallions are hardcore!"

Shots fired. Recline and enjoy the ensuing devastation.

I'm not so sure about a pool of 500, less sure when only 70 actually voted on a developer.

Apple should sue the city of New York. I mean, "The Big Apple"? That's gotta be copyright infringement.

The length of this review simulates the long and painful death your relationships will suffer when you play war games with your friends.

Which deity do I have to pray to for my Rhythm Thief sequel?

Prepare for the most intense fitness experience of your life.

I think the real problem here is that the Wii U eShop is a mess. Period. You go on the 3DS eShop and you can scroll through different collections of games, all evenly spaced and sized, one-by-one. You go on the Wii U eShop and there are super-flashy, randomly-sized panels everywhere.

If you don't see a game you like in that seizure-inducing jamboree, you will probably never see it.

Every year, the writers at Camelot win the award for Most Mindlessly Long-Winded Dialogue Ever.

Yokai Watch is, like, the fastest- and best-selling game that came out of absolutely nowhere and, like, still nobody over here knows anything about it.

Can anyone else not stand that CONSTANT update reminder after pressing the Home button? Like, Wii Sports Club! I just played you so you'd STOP doing that! And now look what you've done!

That's a really cool game concept. The animations could use some weight/momentum and the graphics more style/texture, but it is a work in progress. I do hope the gameplay... delivers.

"Another attendee hit on an equally creative technique, assembling a short, squat, supremely stable robot, and ramming into opponents at the kneecaps to bring them tumbling down."

huehuehue

I do hope this becomes a commercial game. I don't get the hate for it. Maybe if it had plumbers and fairies...

So. Madam Pikachu happened.

It's a good thing there won't be a very big line to get into this.

Attention, citizens of Nintendo Life! Mamma Wia has broken out of prison. Be on the lookout for her abnormally tall accomplice, Mamma Waluigi.

I don't know much about HYPER JAPAN, but I do know the lines are going to be worse than the Best Buy demos in the US. So, uh, have fun with that.

This is a real insult to what past Yugioh video games have been. It's great that all cards are unlocked from the start, but the selection only goes up to Shadow Specters, which is at least 2-3 sets behind. Add the lack of DLC and shocking absence of multiplayer and this is a big, big disappointment.

The story mode sounds fun, but Konami is trying to charge full-price for this and it's download-only, so I'm never going to find this in the bargain bin...

Could NintendoLife maybe edit this video into the main article? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5RSngCFpsc

It's from Extra Credits and it debunks the myth of "game addiction". That'd save readers a LOT of trouble and grief from this idiotic publication.

This review feels almost as long as the seven-page essay I wrote about why Risk is dumb and ruins friendships.

Woohoo, four more repeats! And pity on anyone who accidentally clicks Donkey Kong Jr. There hasn't been a good CN download in a very long time.

I can't wait to find nothing in my wardrobe to match those aggressively red shoes!

I did not expect such silly questions from a Japanese shareholding meeting. But I, too, would like to see Miyamoto and Iwata trekking through the Sahara and Amazon together.

@SavoirFaire Were you keeping up with current events back in 2006/2007? People actually were going nuts for Wii Sports. It's just that a lot of the clueless non-gaming folks who bought it for Wii Sports didn't buy much else. The Wii was a huge craze but those kinds of people viewed it more as a plug-and-play thing without an understanding of how consoles actually work.

... Those are also the people who aren't buying the Wii U because they don't know it's a new system. Technically their fault, but still also Nintendo's goof for that name.

The only thing tougher than finding that Master Ball will be finding something to catch with it.

"If the performance doesn't cause a mass of awakened Snorlaxes to descend upon and flatten the theatre"

Now now, that's no way to speak of the fans.

@HappyHappyist That's because Korra IS an immature teenager. Just like Aang was so often an immature and naive little kid. Take off your nostalgia goggles. Korra isn't 100% moral and lovable, but she doesn't have to be as long as she remains a dynamic character.

And make sure you tune in tomorrow night for the premiere of Book 3!!! I'm a crazy Korra fan and I can't wait to fangirl all over this game.

(And for those who don't like Korra... quit being butthurt that it goes in a different direction from the original series and you'll see how great it is.)

This must be great for all those unfortunate people whose posts get Yeahs.

I took a friend and made friends with the people next to me in line and talked about games, of course. And attacked my Streetpasses. As usual, I won best dressed by a mile with a vest and bowtie so it wasn't very difficult to make friends.

And the four minutes were totally worth it. I won both matches with my Final Smash and nabbed every goody from the swag table.

Hopefully there will be way, WAY more locations next time, because they really underestimated the turnout.

Give it some time and I'm sure people will quit senselessly overreacting about this Mercedes DLC. It's getting to be very immature.

"Atari will make additional announcements across the LGBT, YouTube/TV and hardware licensing industries in the coming quarters."

The LGBT industry? Oh heavens. .-.

May they enjoy spaghetti tacos in the afterlife.

@DaemonSword ... I thought the clearly backward logic would obviate the use of satire as criticism of Ubisoft's claim. Next time I will use [sarcasm] tags...

"Bloody Fate"? Well, I can't single this out as long as there are so many other generic angels/demons/guns/bewbz animes out there... Bayonetta may be a bit too fantasy dudebro for my tastes.

It's a shame my Wii Fit Meter grew legs and ran away so long ago...

@ModestFan93 I've seen the bundle at Best Buy. Although if you're going to access something every day, the disc version is going to make things a hundred times less convenient. I can only recommend downloading this.

The Wii U costs way too much!!! The PS4 and Xbox One are just fine, though. I'm pretty sure they're already half the price of the Wii U, so the Wii U's price must be the problem here.

@Captain_Gonru The brightness of the Wii Remote's LED tells you its battery level. You can also check battery levels by hitting the Home button. And there IS an on-screen icon in Skyward Sword for when your battery is low. And that icon does not go away during cutscenes.

By the time Fi is done telling me about my batteries, the replacement pair is already dead.

My argument? Miis are a key part of Nintendo's history and an invaluable aspect of their modern image. That's why they deserve a part in Smash Bros.

And if you don't like them, don't use them. Same as you've done with every other Smash game: I really doubt there's ever been anyone who's loved every character of every Smash game.

We're gonna need a fresher way to say "Only in South Korea." It's in danger of becoming cliche.

All I can think of is, "Who drew the guy on the saddle, and why?" There must be some artistic significance in the onesie and the balding...

This could be a really engaging way to get people to want to learn how to draw.

But your review failed to answer the real question here: Will I be doodling Milotics and Garchomps in my notebook after these lessons?

This is awesome. I just don't see how this thing could take more than 6 months to finish. It looks pretty far along and it's not a very complex game.

The next generation of children will grow up thinking the wheels on our cars are all sideways.

Oh, North Americans, quit complaining! We get more sales and all of our games are cheaper than all of everyone else's games, plus we can download games from Club Nintendo. When Europe gets a promotion NA doesn't, it's usually because Nintendo isn't as popular in Europe and needs the boost there.

That's a tad disappointing, how it only saves data for one game. This reminds me of how you can save data into a Wii Remote... but only for one game at a time.

I'm really surprised at how people's interest in Splatoon is actually genuine. It's VERY different from anything Nintendo's ever made and seems like it would be really easy to hate on.

My vote goes to Smash Bros. for Palutena and going all-out in giving Mii characters 3 styles and 36 special moves!

Including the entire first game for free--and on the same disc!--makes this package MUCH more appealing, especially considering that so few of us have played the original.
