Sega has so many good IPs going unused that you'd think they forgot about them, but since they're still used in cameos like this it just disappoints me. Just give them a new game already! >:[
I'd like to thank @PhillipJReed For writing that hilarious Christmas Wonderland 3 review... I can still show that to friends and they laugh at your jokes! And @ThomasBW84 has also done a wonderful job of writing the daily articles, and the information is always spot on and is updated as soon as new info comes out. @Damo I'll be honest, at first I was a little skeptical of you stepping into your new role, but over this year you've really convinced me you know what you're doing and are a worthy sucessor! @theblackdragon Thanks for all the good times and helping out with all the noobs (some of them are very annoying) and you definitely help make this site very user friendly~ And finally, @antdickens, thank you for all of the updates this year, putting up with my emails about new info you usually already had, and making this site in general. I tip my top hat to all of you, and hope this next year is exponentialy wonderful!
@BakaKnight I never knew it worked on all wifi without connecting, that's pretty important info. Thanks for telling me! :3 Now another game I have to choose from.
I just didn't get it because I only have access to my WiFi, and the price was a little steep to make me drive around everywhere looking for some. Plus who wants to wave their 3DS around in McDonalds like a maniac. >_>
Let's all listen to financial advice and predictions from the guy whose business is out of business. Honestly, this much fighting over one guy's opinion, sheesh. >__> And for people complaining about NL posting "negative articles", they are a news site, so they just publish the news. They don't just sit there, going... "Now how can I make everyone miserable today... >:3 " Nintendo is in a bad Wii U spot, so Wii U news will tend to be bad.
Oh dear, this game is not optimal! @dumedum The time you spent reading this review could have been spent playing a good game too ya know. @Philip_J_Reed Excellent work as always~ I feel sorry for your surviving brain cells.
EA basically are a bunch of idiots. First of all, their games don't sell well. So they blame it on us not buying them, when its really the games that have issues. Then, they recieve this award twice, and blame it on us, for misinterpreting them. Well, Excuuusee me princess. Then, "If we're making great games and services, then we won't get voted worst company in America then." This is stupid. He basically said, that in the last 2 years, they've had the worst games out of any company, and horrible services.
When saying I bought a Wii U yesterday, one of my friends (who plays games sometimes) asked me what a wii u was. When I said it was a new system, he even said he had no idea at all, and never has seen or heard anything about it. Great job Nintendo.
Nintendo, this was a stupid move. What's next? Disabling the 3DS web browser? I hope they realize that what they did solves nothing; those kids will just use the internet for that stuff now. >__>
@Philip_J_Reed By playable, I believe they mean the controls are a puzzle in itself, which causes the action of you shooting your 3ds. And all in one purchase!
This is just a color-swap for Wii Fit Trainer, as @Tsuchionko said, as he got no new page on their site. It's also been a month since the last new character announcement. Mark my words, they'll have a nintendo direct soon, with a new character at the end of tons of SM3DW, Mario Party 3DS and M&S Olympics footage.
This is a step in the right direction, it's definitely a smart move to support lots of playstyles and provide this ease of access. Now, in true Nintendo fashion, I'm bracing for the bad news that's sure to come.
So this is just one less spot for new characters to take up. Honestly he's a good character but I'd rather have seen someone new, which we haven't yet. But hooray for all of his fans! (Makes sense I suppose, WWHD and all).
Hiroshi Yamauchi's death is certainly very upsetting, as he is the one largely responsible for developing, changing and innovating at Nintendo. Except he did so much more. He was a leader, one that everybody truly respected in his work, and as a person. May he Rest in Peace, and forever live on in our memories.
Finally, I can access the internet browser on 3ds, while in the game! Please include a tutorial, even if it's advanced though, that was an issue with the first to many people. ...Or translate the website into english. >_>
Gens 1-3 in particular got the Mega forms. Seems like you can also find starters in game, at least Gen 3. A key to unlocking it, hopefully will be something compicated, so that these things don't dominate everything.
See, focus mainly on previously announced games, not entirely. I can smell Flipnote 3D, Wonderful 101, Pikmin 3 mini-coverage, Dream Team, hopefully Smash Bros, and maybe that Mario Golf game on 3DS.

Re: Game of the Year: Nintendo Life Readers' Awards 2013
What... no Layton? >:[
Lack of Animal Crossing is surprising, but I guess there were a lot of good games!
Re: Game of the Year: Nintendo Life's Staff Awards 2013
Wow, no Pokemon or W101?
I can see how Attack of the Friday Monsters! got on the list; but as a kid still I didn't enjoy it much.
Re: Review: Bird Mania Christmas (3DS eShop)
Hey, I'm kinda close to @bezerker99... 3rd on the leaderboard. Except that's still only less than 1/3 of his score.

Re: New Kirby: Triple Deluxe Screens Emerge in Magazine Scans
Another great marketing move by Nintendo; I know I love my games announced two months ahead of time.
Re: Super Mario 3D World Struggles Against PS4 Titles in UK Charts
Look at Layton, hanging out with the big guns.
Japan was strike one, Europe strike two, but it takes three strikes to be out if the ballgame.
Re: Wii U Wins "Deals Award" For Being One Of The Best Kids Items This Holiday Season
Wii U on lanuch: Sells well.
After Launch: Dies because of no games.
PS4/XBox on launch: Sells well.
After Launch: Dies because of no games.
Everybody: Waits for games to buy consoles.
It's the exact same scenario in both cases, except Wii U came out first and will have big games first.

Great job Nintendo.
Re: Weirdness: Shiny Pokémon Finder Takes No-Hands Approach
Wow, that's actually pretty ingenious.
I'd do that, except it would probably be easier to just find the shinies I want.
