Re: Iwata Writes Open Letter to 3DS Owners to Say Sorry

Punny

I had a feeling that that was the reason the price dropped in the first place. I can't be angry at a guy who just wants the 3DS to sell (more) units and become (more) popular. Apology accepted, Mr. Iwata!

Truth be told, all was forgiven after the announcement of 20 free games.

Re: Mario Kart 7

Punny

Mario Kart... 7... I sure hope Nintendo changes the name of this game before it comes out. Looks awesome, though.

Re: Angry Birds Could Be Flocking to Wii U and 3DS

Punny

I'm guessing because Angry Birds is already extremely popular everywhere else, so naturally it should head to Nintendo consoles, too. Plus, the Wii U controller kinda looks like an iPad, so it should go together like bread and butter.

Re: The Super Mario Bros Movie Could Have Turned Out Very Differently

Punny

That Wizard of Oz script sounds more Mario-ish than the final one. THAT would have made the movie a bit better. But HILDY!? Seriously? I'm glad the Princess was Daisy (even though Toadstool would have been a better choice; Daisy has only been captured once compared to the thousands of times Peach has).

Re: Talking Point: Wii U - Revolution or Evolution?

Punny

I think the Wii U is more of an evolution than a revolution. Better yet, it's a hybrid of Nintendo's best ideas over the last few years. I do think that using the controller to play a game while somebody else uses the TV is revolutionary, though.

Re: Nintendo Researching Mobile Phone Possibilities

Punny

I know it's been done to death, but a video gaming mobile phone from Nintendo sounds really cool! Plus, unlike most mobile phone video games, the ones on an alleged "Nintenphone" would be full-fledged adventures, not just time killers (there would still be those kinds of games, of course).

Re: The Thought of a Shooter-Only Future Makes Iwata Sad

Punny

I doubt an FPS-only future will happen. As long as there are fans of the other genres, those said genres will still be alive. Besides, mobile phone games that aren't shooters (such as Angry Birds) are as popular as those FPSs, so a future of only shooters is highly unlikely. Bottom line, Mr. Iwata: It won't happen (at least not worldwide; FPSs are most popular in North America). If the thought about that kind of future makes you sad, don't think about it!

Re: Naka and Iizuka Drop Hints at Third NiGHTS Game

Punny

Flying NiGHTS around with the Circle Pad would be a dream come true. Hopefully, if there is a new NiGHTS game, it won't have boring 3D platforming sections with the kids and inpossible bosses (I hated that chameleon magician).

Also, if Sega is thinking about installments of other treasued series, they should consider Shenmue 3 and Ristar 2.

Re: Reggie Discusses Wii U Branding, "Not a Difficult Sell"

Punny

I'm thinking the Wii U will be easy for Nintendo to sell. I'm expecting tons of casual-friendly games for families and retirement homes, in addition to a promising lineup of "hardcore" third-party titles for extreme gamers. Since both major gaming classifications will be catered to, all Nintendo needs to do is make some clever TV ads (hopefully not cheesy like the early Wii commercials). This will be a money-printer no doubt.

Re: Features: 10 Life Lessons Learned From Mega Man

Punny

I know something like this has already been posted in the article, but another good lesson from Mega Man is "If at first you don't succeed, try try again." Dr. Wily does it all the time! Plus, many inexperienced players do this after dying so many times. Think of it as a follow-up to "Life is Hard".

Re: Review: Sonic Advance (Game Boy Advance)

Punny

@Dragoon: Sonic Advance didn't have voice clips. The only game in the Advance series that did was Sonic Advance 3.

Someday I should play this game. It looks like fun, especially after reading this review. I owned Sonic Advance 2, which is fun but a bit too hard. Good review!

Re: Talking Point: Your Sonic the Hedgehog Memories

Punny

As a gamer, some of my fondest memories come from Sonic the Hedgehog. When I was young, I would visit my grandparents and play Sonic the Hedgehog on their Genesis. Sonic was the first game I could actually master without stinking. Later, I purchased a GameCube and Sonic Mega Collection so that I could experience all the Genesis Sonic games in my home. From those days and beyond, I was hooked on Sonics. I looked forward to the new Sonic games and wished that Sonic's glory days would return during his slump of mediocrity. When I realized that my wishes came true last year, I jumped for joy. Sonic still holds a special place in my heart.

Re: Feature: Staff Memories of Sonic the Hedgehog

Punny

I remember my first Sonic experience. I was playing my grandmother's Genesis. Sonic the Hedgehog was the first game I could play without stinking too badly. These memories are great, too. Happy birthday, Mr. Needlemouse!

Re: Feature: The Sonic Games That Never Were

Punny

@3DS: Are you sure it wasn't Knuckles' Chaotix?

I was never aware of Sonic Extreme before! If it was a bit faster and had all its bugs eliminated, it would have been an awesome final release!

Re: Sony: Wii U is No Threat, Says "Welcome to 2006, Nintendo"

Punny

Better late than never, Jack. Besides, when the Wii U's sales begin to rise, Sony will copy the idea like always.

Anyways, this is a bit more innovative than what we were seeing in 2006. Was any developer releasing a controller with a screen in it? I don't think so! I think Jack is just jealous...
