Off-topic, but why's everyone so excited about this game? All I see in the trailer is modern Sonic in Sonic Unleashed Daytime/Sonic Colours gameplay, and the classic Sonic gameplay looks exactly like the original. Looks more like a rehash than anything else to me, but I'd take it over the other crappy Sonic games any day.
Well, I'm pretty sure the people that complained about Sonic's eye colour are the vast minority too, but that's why the Sonic fanbase is regarded as terrible. Just the mere fact that people are complaining instead of being happy. Same applies to Zelda fans, or anything else. I'm not saying all Zelda fans are like that at all.
I agree with everything you said. Zelda fans will never be pleased. They hated Wind Waker for its cartoon style, and when Twilight Princess came out, they loved Wind Waker and hated the realistic approach. Now, with Skyward Sword having the impressionist style, they love Twilight Princess and Wind Waker and complain about Skyward Sword, when they previously hated on both games. I bet you any money that when the next Zelda gets announced they're gonna complain about it not being similar to Skyward Sword.
And that is why, in my opinion, Zelda fans are worse than any other fanbase out there, including the Sonic fans. Zelda fans get loaded with great games all the time, yet they still complain. At least when Sonic fans complain, it's a bit valid because they've been getting loaded with sh*t games for the past decade (excluding handheld titles and Colours).
I'm excited for a new Skyward Sword trailer and Super Mario 3DS more than anything else. My wallet just isn't ready for Cafe. Time passes so quickly! I remember jumping off my chair with the announcement of Kid Icarus Uprising like it happened a month ago.
Okay then I really agree with him. It's sad that all that gets popular nowadays is generic BS with good visuals. That applies to Video Games, Movies, and Music.
I see Reggie's point, but he definitely should have chosen his words more wisely.
I guess he was a bit angry at those developers that make 99 cent games on iOS being cocky. I have read an article today about an iOS developer saying that Angry Birds is the new Mario.

Re: Alleyway Bouncing to 3DS VC
This game is basically Arkanoid but with Mario in that rectangle thing.
Re: Mario and Link Make eShop Cards Look Good
@komicturtle92
Same! I used to think Mario was an actual person who worked at Nintendo, and Mario games were like a tribute to him.
Re: Mario and Link Make eShop Cards Look Good
Looks nice and colourful. Finally Nintendo using their mascots to represent themselves, instead of plain white and Miis.
Anyone remember that Mario with a tool and a tie logo?

Re: Mario and Sonic 2012 Screens Blow Minds, Collapse Worlds

I hope I have made my point clearly.
Re: Features: Re-Examining Zelda: Twilight Princess
The major complaints I have with this game is that it was too dull at times, and they messed up Zant at the end, whom I thought was bad@$$.
Otherwise I loved it.

Miyamoto pretty much confirmed that the Wii2 exists. Now THAT is a reason for being patient.
Re: Talking Point: What You Want in a New Nintendo Home Console
It needs 1080p, Netflix, Affordable controllers, and a Mario game that tops Super Mario Galaxy.
And for heaven's sake Nintendo, please remove the friend codes!

Re: PlatinumGames President Saddened by Decline of New Ideas
God, all the other April Fool's jokes have made me paranoid.
Not sure if I believe this :S

Good review. I wasn't interested in the game at all, but now I'm actually considering buying it on launch.
Re: Reggie: We're Not Interested in "Garage Developers"
I see Reggie's point, but he definitely should have chosen his words more wisely.
I guess he was a bit angry at those developers that make 99 cent games on iOS being cocky. I have read an article today about an iOS developer saying that Angry Birds is the new Mario.
Maybe some trash talk?
