@Damo Bit odd that you've written this as if Collection of Mana hasn't happened though. Especially when you reviewed it!

@Quarth There are wild Slowpoke in Kalos so they may be coming from over the ... Pokémon Channel.

Aren't these just the mobile versions with unpixelated art and an adjusted interface anyway?

It's an original creation, like Ricky Rouse and Monald Muck.

I suppose the question is: Why can Yooka-Laylee or Legend of the Skyfish or however many kart and smash-'em-ups there can get a piece of the pie but this can't?

The game itself seems really unambitious considering the property.

(And it has that ceramic aesthethic that I didn't care for with Link Between Worlds.)

I like it, looks like it got its head stuck inside a Trubbish.

Rare's developers, Rare's delays. Makes sense, really.

They're a mixed bag, really.

Ditto's a great name but Cubchoo feels forced to me. Spheal works nicely, it's just unfortunate that it's so close to Seel.

I don't think Nintendo should join the scramble since 2012 to make another Avengers by any means but it would be nice if the company got behind putting out good video game adaptations.

It's been so long since the likes of the Mario movie or the Zelda cartoon that those series have since produced lot more material to draw from. Sure, there'd be a tedious debate if a live-action Zelda got made about Link's voice but if a good product came out of it that'd die down.

I've no doubt cinema will one day get a movie that shows gaming IPs can make money but whether that will by any time soon or not is the question. Ideally Ubisoft will get the ball rolling with Assassin's Creed. If I'm remembering correctly, Netflix made Marco Polo cause people kept searching Game of Thrones so they made what was supposed to be a similar show. Get the Suikoden licence from Konami hint hint.

On the other hand, considering how much gameplay is a factor in Nintendo's stories, what are Mario, Link, Pikmin, Kirby and so on when you remove the player interaction? And with games being generally still somewhat lacking in the writing department, how do you make movies of Starfox or Metroid that aren't just Star Wars and Aliens by other names? Not much Nintendo stuff is driven by character.

Still, I think it's worth a go. If they failed, the games aren't going anywhere and I'd rather see Nintendo make the attempt to generate money there than allow another Mercedes into Mario Kart or something.

@ryanator008 "Every day" is the punchline to that one.

There was a statistic floating around on March 8 that dudes only care about International Men's Day (Nov. 19) on International Women's Day too.

A Nabooru/Iron Knuckle hybrid could be fun.

I'd love an opportunity to play as Ganon(dorf) but an otherwise all-female playable roster besides Blue-Scarf "looks like a girl" Link would be amazing.

Bah, the CD-i games are more worthy of getting listed than a reworked rerelease. I want Gwonam to transition to the new games.

Well SOMEbody looks like they had a third consecutive annual operating loss.

I will be getting New 'n' Tasty (on Another Platform). Happy to play Oddysee again but NnT is the first step in allowing Oddworld/JAW to tell new stories and that's largely where my interest lies. I want to see the rest of the Quintology as soon as possible.

Oddworld never should have gone away in the first place.

I like the Warriors games an' all but Zelda with that copy/paste gameplay from title to title seems like a step down.

Still, Link's rockin' that blue scarf...

"Lorule"

Approved.

@Ezekiel You fall down very quickly if you try to be literal with the graphics and gameplay. As a fictional ghost-possessed sword, for all we know its cutting ability is as effective as you standing in a crucifix position trying to stab a gazelle with knives on your soles.

I like it in its scabbard but don't care for the look of the unsheathed blade.

A more magical adventure with Zelda as the lead could be a fascinating addition to the franchise (as would a game from Ganon's perspective) but I don't want a game where it's simply Zelda picking up the sword instead of Link.

She doesn't have to be the damsel but her story should, y'know, be concerned more with the wisdom aspect of the Triforce.

@Electricmastro I was mistakenly under the impression that Retro did Metroid Prime: Hunters.

@bassoongoon Would be nice to get a free-roam follow-up to Pokémon Snap. A "Pokémon Safari" if you will. Which is what I thought Snap would be like back when that came out.

I approve of these moves that look to make Tropical Freeze the DKC2 of the Returns series.

A welcome shake-up but the inevitable jokes are going to be unbearable.

The Human Torch being so prominent is a pleasant surprise.

ReBoot!

@Electricmastro Retro have made four Metroid games and one DKC. Wanting to spend more time with DKC is perfectly understandable.

If it was Kinect Sports 3 I'd just laugh and laugh.

Would quite like B-K, PD, VP, Kameo or Blast Corps sequels but it's definitely not enough to make me want the console. I'd rather Rare did something that didn't remind me of Nintendo titles.

@HawkeyeWii The Creative Assembly is apparently making a game based on Me Scott's Alien. Unless you're being pedantic about the s.

I think we all want to see The Irate Gamer representing himself in court.

I'll not say no to more Zelda but there's something about that style which just rubs me the wrong way. Too plastic and shiny looking (and clearly designed for that 3D switch I keep in the off position). When I first saw it yesterday, it reminded me of Zelda's Adventure. Made me feel quite faint.

I don't care for the porcelain doll look but c'est la vie.

I'm disappointed that self-proclaimed fans of the film watched Aliens and thought it would be better without this Ripley character.

If it wasn't for all the deception, the game would just be dismissed as another subpar movie tie-in. Would be nice if the Wii U edition turned out to have taken major steps toward producing the hyped version but I think it's more likely that Sega will cut its losses and Gearbox has Borderlands to fall back on.

"Are you looking forward to the next game in the series, or are you a bit fatigued?"

Neither, really. I enjoy the games but after following Desmond's story arc through five titles only for it to end on a cutscene and an AC4 advert was... disappointing.

From what I've seen thus far, Black Flag feels like a spin-off. Hope I'm wrong and the game justifies the IV beyond switching Kenways. For now, however, Black Flag seems to be an expansion of the ship sequences and that Mayan Temple DLC when I think each numbered installment should see a significant shift in the AC experience. For better or worse, III doesn't play like II. I doubt that will be the case with IV to III.

Less backstory, more Gizmoduck thanks.

Great, now if Nintendo could let me give them money for Minish Cap as well that'd be peachy.

Holding off on getting a Wii U as I'm not enamoured with the launch titles and the 360 became my main console after the Wii launch anyway (thus breaking my Nintendo pattern since the NES days).

Can't let you confuse that, StarVox!

(sorry)

Beedle's complimentary ID...

There seems to be a lot of hand-holding this generation. Healing items at the gym door and regularly placed healer characters away from the Pokémon Centers in the overworld.

So... it wasn't Tik-Ling your fancy?

@5 There's a man who doesn't know "Nintendo hates Europe".

I didn't realise the demand for a 3DS was that big but then I don't see much for myself in the game lineup so far.
