@sanguine TMNT: Smash Up was released for the Wii, and Cartoon Network Punch Time explosion was released for the Wii and 3DS.

I'm not trying to be rude, but I'm just pointing out facts.

@Pahvi There's always those PS4 Touhou fangames coming out soon if you want to see if you can hop back on to the fandom. At least Sony fans are more open and grateful about them...

@DarrelltheJ Welcome to the Nintendo community. Unless it's Nintendo or something in your comfort zone, please feel free to utterly bash games, regardless of being released or barely in development, no matter if the studio is incredibly big or a one-man show! And, if you actually have an open mind like me and take interest of games like this being on a Nintendo system, you're an idiot who deserves to be hit with a sledgehammer!

Ugh...

@TheItalianBaptist Yeah.

Hopefully, within the coming months, the game will gather up it's own identity.

Soooo...

I'm the only one looking forward to this, and hinks this looks pretty good for something so early in development (4 months) and made by a very small team (3 people), and continue to be one of the very few people in the Nintendo community that keeps an open mind.

go me.

The immaturity of people on Miiverse and the misuse of Swapnote are the reason why we're never getting Flipnote 3D.

Just saying.

You guys seem a little late to the party...

For how childish and weird these videos seem, they show off some GREAT tips for games. I never knew I could use the Stylus to pick up baseballs in 3D World!

Game and Wario?!

Time for my second free retail game this year!

@Diddy_kong Getting people to at least walk in the showroom is a good thing from time to time. Those customers may even come back and consider a purchase later.

Am I the only one that wants DLC for Mario Kart 8 based on this game? I love the courses!

We can only buy Super Mario Brothers 3 so many times.

PHEW.

Thank goodness he's okay!

By the logic of this article, and that everyone in this website hates advertising more than active terrorists, Xbox 360 is the worst console ever because it has advertisements on it's main menu.

WE CAN USE WHALES

Considering what Miyamoto just said about making it more popular in Japan with the Wii U, considering how it's selling better than the PS4 at the moment, sure, go for it. Won't kill them to at least try.

I would like for it to be a unique version, even though use of the gamepad is on board, such as having Nintendo-themed items exclusive to the Wii U version (like the Mushroom mode in Tekken TT2) as well as texture packs and character skins.

It's most likely going to be $35-$40 in retail.

Or have over 300 puzzles, some going to a much larger scale (like the train), sure, I'll cough up $60.

Good to see that the long-lost art of Claymation is back in the mainstream media.

@Oren We'll just get Captain Toad. xD

@Stuffgamer1 Oh. ._.

There still are games released to the public only for the purpose of product placement. Games based on McDonalds such as McKids, for starters.

@DoomTurtle This is most likely a set of parts that are meant to be together, but you can do what you want with.

Can't wait to put Monster Truck tires on a Mercedes.

Why is everyone complaining about one tiny optional product placement? At least it's not as horribly in-your-face as

(Yes, this actually exists.)

@AVahne @GrumbleVolcano Several other websites said it. I do not exactly remember where I heard it from, though.

@Emaan Nintendo already has your money anyway!

@Yosher Unless you have a car nut in your family who enjoys playing Mario Kart 8.
Me? I have several.

Unfortunately, you guys seem to be a bit late to these news, by about a month or two. I wish this article could be an update to the news, such as an actual date...

However, I'm so hyped for this DLC. Now excuse me as I fantasize Luigi giving off the Death Stare as he drives in the Mercedes blasting dubstep with the bass at the highest level.

This entire case comes down to Philips with the mindset of:

Bringing in young, creative minds to design completely brand new games?

Great! It's good to see that Nintendo is doing that, and I think it may bring us even more new IPs and game concepts down the road.

The picture attached to this article brought a smile to my face and a tear in my eye.

I don't know why, I just think it's sweet.

Yes, but 5 words:

Don't mess up with delays.

C'mon, every gaming company should have games involving gambling at least once.

@Kaine_Morrison Yikes, buddy.

I'm very sorry. . ^ .

@kurtasbestos @FantasiaWHT @nopedotbmp

Once you think about it, this is similar to a "Do Violent Video Games cause Violence in real life" situation. Personally, thinking that stuff like this plays a part in pedophilia-related crimes is very stupid (I normally cringe at situations like it in anime and manga, so don't think I'm supporting sexualizing young girls in any form of media), I think at this point, enough people should realize the difference between fantasy and reality. Not to mention that anime and manga over there is like what Comic Books are over here, a simple, nerdy thing that small amount of the popularity does, as well as something the general public usually doesn't care about.

I think it would be best if NintendoLife DELETED this article...

@ToxieDogg Very true, as we tend to have similar things in OUR media. Child Pageants, for starters.

Oh, and yes, the constant "jumping to conclusions." I read an article from a politician claiming that Watch_Dogs teaches people how to actually hack, even though he only watched the trailer. Shows how stupidly fast people generalize something with little to no knowledge of the subject.

@Blast

Exactly.

@PrincessSugoi

Ehhh... Not exactly like that. I mean a set of restrictions.

@PvtOttobot Heed I remind you of the Family Guy character Herbert the Pervert? A creepy old man who's running joke is super obvious?

@Yorumi

Like I said, we're all in the wrong, so nobody should be pointing fingers and being biased towards the other.

Every news reporter around here has every article about this topic like this: "LOOK! JAPAN DOES STUFF LIKE THIS! IT'S NOT LIKE OTHER FORMS OF MEDIA AROUND THE WORLD DOES IT!"

@dumedum Unless your name is Kenny McCormick.

@Yorumi Not to mention that a large majority of the time in Manga and Anime, the young woman ISN'T YOUNG AT ALL.

Just gon' leave this here.

@DarkLloyd Me too, but being still convinced that a person's completely innocent hobbies makes people commit crimes like these is stupid.

@Yorumi Excuse me as I delete my comment after you threw a cinder block of logic and actual sense in my face.

As I have said before, this is more of a "censorship against artists" and a "freedom of speech" argument at the end of the day. But the media constantly makes lies and claims that people do stuff like this because of their innocent hobbies and interests, rather than telling the truth and saying that they're just messed up in the head.

The west is not in the right either, so I have no clue why they're being so biased about the situation. Such as how women and teen girls are portrayed in comics, movies, tv, video games. And in terms of pedophilia, let's not forget about child pageants, which usually consist of little girls 5-12 in categories like SWIMWEAR of all things. Doesn't that make ANYONE uncomfortable?! Even the parents?! Not to mention that I have (been unfortunately told to) read certain novels where at some point, a young child have been molested or raped within the story.

I do have this article you can read, if you want: http://cbldf.org/2014/06/what-does-japans-new-child-porn-law-mean-for-manga-and-anime/

Seriously, stuff like this is nothing new. Instead with things like Drugs, Religion, etc. when it comes to comics, anime and manga, among other media.

@Kaze_Memaryu You're welcome!

@Hy8ogen

Nintendolife does a better job than the Miiverse admins.

Then again, everyone does.

Something you all might want to read:

http://cbldf.org/2014/06/what-does-japans-new-child-porn-law-mean-for-manga-and-anime/

@StaticWind People these days, convinced that they have to live in a picture perfect world get a bit too butthurt over minor things in Comics, Anime, Video Games, etc., I remember that the Graphic Novels "Bone" by Jeff Smith and Dragon Ball from Akira Toriyama, have been banned from libraries for odd reasons. Even the Comics Code Authority, which people hated for placing some restrictions on what you can and cannot do in comics being released to the public, are defending an artist's rights to their free speech and creativity. http://cbldf.org/

Funny how adults want their children to read books, but aim to ban each and every one. If "50 Shades of Gray" is okay to be on the shelves, why can't these?

@DarkKirby This is mainly because the media often blames a person's interest (or says they have certain ones) for their illegal actions, rather than saying that people are just messed up in the head.

At the end of the day, this is a "freedom of speech" and "censorship against an artist's creativity" argument more than anything.

@StaticWind Unfortunately, the media thinks everyone is an idiot who cannot tell the difference, and like to blame crimes on a person's interest, rather than the fact they are either under the influence of drugs, or actually have a mental problem.

Seriously, it's just fiction. Meanwhile, Child Pageants, which often has contestants of young girls from 5-12, and have categories of things like swimwear, have been rarely to never accused of oxersexualizing children.

Since a game like this is a Metroidvania game, maps can be pretty big. I like the inclusion of a map screen on the gamepad.

@Jazzer94

Like I said, simple restrictions that won't affect anyone too harshly.
