YEEEEEESSSSSSSSS. I've been waiting to play this game so I could play it first on a Nintendo console. After 3 years of waiting, I will immediately purchase a 3DS Download card onthe day of release. I'm going to enjoy every minute of this game, especially the soundtrack.
I love the Gamecube controller. After all these years, slipping my hands onto that bad boy feels still feels so right... I never knew how to use it and I never had to learn. It somehow came second nature. I'd love if the new Smash Bros. was GCN controller-compatible.
It's a shame it was cancelled, but it would have underachieved at this point in he Wii's lifetime. It's also a shame the interview reads like it was written by Google Translate, but that's not really their fault.
The system lock is to prevent just sharing around games like you would a CD. If it is account-based, you could just give your account to a friend and he could play it on his system. I'm sure there are limitations to prevent that, but then everyone will just b***ch about that.
Having said that, cheaper prices and retail download codes sound good to me, but leaving the game shop without a box will take some getting used to.
I'd say it's a good problem to have. Other consoles don't have such strong first-party support, if at all. These games usually deserve their sales, because they are of such high quality.
Please release NightSky first. I've been anxiously awaiting its release on a Nintendo console since 2009. I may be only one of the 5 people who want the game on 3DS, but they can't confirm it's being released on the eShop and then cancel it AGAIN.
Imagine a family member tapping away on their iPhone, only to have their activity ended prematurely by your Wii U tablet. You will be the antagonist of the party in no time!
Hating Capcom is the new "cool" thing. I say we all switch over to Sega. Damn you Sega! You make games differently than I want you to! Sonic Generations only had 2 Sonics! Etcetera.
And through it all, I have discovered that I don't like Mario games. What!? How could any Nintendo fan dislike Mario games? Well, maybe I'm exaggerating a bit. I don't dislike Mario games, it's just that they aren't much fun anymore. I bought Super Mario Galaxy. I bought both New Super Mario Bros. games. I bought Super Mario Galaxy 2. I bought Super Mario 3D Land. I bought 5 new Mario games. I only played 2.
I enjoyed the first few games, but by the time I gt SM3DL, I was done. The level design was nothing short of brilliant, but the challenge was non-existent. Yes, I played using the Tanooki Suit, and I didn't finish the second set of worlds. But after playing the same game so many times, I have no desire to play this one or any of the other games anymore.
The next time a Mario game comes out, unless it is significantly different, I will simply play one of my 5 games if I want a Mario fix. I can't keep buying the same game just because of the name.
I have this idea I've been sitting on for about 3 years. I even have a basic outline of the story and gameplay. This sounds like a great competition, but I'd like to keep the option open to make my game myself if I choose down that career path.

Re: Feature: Games We'd Love to See at E3
If any of these happen, besides the 1080 thing, I would be ecstatic. Beyond ecstatic.
Re: Zen Studios Reveals CastleStorm for "Nintendo Digital Platforms"
Yes please. Stoking the fires of E3, ever so slowly...

Re: Metro: Last Light Trailer Keeps it Real
Wow. Just skip the game and make a movie.
Re: Feature: Our Favourite E3 Memories - Part One
I think everyone is forgetting about Kirby. Surely they have more planned for Kirby's 25th Anniversary than simply a cool logo?
Re: Feature: The Evolution of Nintendo's Controllers
I love the Gamecube controller. After all these years, slipping my hands onto that bad boy feels still feels so right... I never knew how to use it and I never had to learn. It somehow came second nature. I'd love if the new Smash Bros. was GCN controller-compatible.
Re: Add These Dates and Times to Your E3 Schedule
I'll have one tab streaming the presentation via the Official site, and another pegged on NintendoLife to enhance my experience. Can't wait.

Re: Review: Chuck E. Cheese's Arcade Room (DSiWare)
When a review is better than the game itself, something is probably wrong.
Not when the review's written by CB.
Re: Analyst Calls for Mario on Non-Nintendo Platforms
This entire debate is just sickeningly stale, to be honest.

Re: We'll Probably See Some New Nintendo Characters Soon
This has been a rumor for quite a while now. It is meaningless.
Re: Analyst Calls for Mario on Non-Nintendo Platforms
How bout these investors shut up and bathe in their money.
Re: Feature: Nintendo Banks on Its Old Money Makers
I'd say it's a good problem to have. Other consoles don't have such strong first-party support, if at all. These games usually deserve their sales, because they are of such high quality.
Re: Europe, What Do You Make Of Your Beat the Beat Box Art?
Poor bastards.
Re: Animal Crossing Tobidase Reaches Japan This Fall
The tease of the wireless features has me squirming in my seat. I've dreamed of such features since Wild World. E3 is going to be insane.
Re: Mario Kart 7 To Get Shortcut-Fixing Patch
Thank God.
Re: Nicalis Expects VVVVVV to Reach Europe in Early May
Pleeeeeaaaase NightSky, please. At the very least the mentioning of he game is encouraging.
Re: We'll Finally See Pikmin 3 at This Year's E3
I think it will be a perfect fit on the Wii U.
Re: Nicalis Announces 1001 Spikes for Wii U and 3DS eShop
@James I really hope it comes out then. That would be the perfect game for summer.

Re: Super Mario 3D Land Director Shares Level Design Inspirations
I thought his design process was:
1. Provide player with Tanooki Leaf.
2. Make sure they clear the level without dying in 2 minutes.
3. Repeat.

Re: Capcom: "No Plans for Resident Evil 6 Wii U At This Time"

Re: This Is Your Kid Icarus: Uprising Weapons Bible
But, guys, these are all the weapons in the game! See, the others you have are all just in-game glitches.
But really, I guess the word "Bible" had me expecting all of the weapons or something.
Re: Feature: Our Favourite 3DS Games so Far
Super Mario 3D Land is my least favorite 3DS game so far. Out of 5 games. 4 of which are retail.
Re: pitchWinPLAY Competition Announced
