I have 0 interest in Sonic Mania, but I've never held a high regard for the hedgehog, I like it when they try and move the gameplay forward, but Sonic team seems to have 0 focus in that area, and usually produces substandard fare, I have little hope for this new 3D game, but I'm at least curious.

Rergardless, it looks like light humour and good fun!

and considering the vast emptiness that is Wii U retail releases, I'm very much looking forward to this!!

There is a theory that the NX will have QOL elements, but QOL will be its own separate entity. If Nintendo can expand on itws own wiifit, Fitbit & other QOL hardware, I think it could have a chance, the dangers are of course overcharging for it, but it almost sounds like a service product (with or without monthly fees) and software.

I kinda laughed at the Ubisoft article about being excited for NX, they are excited for ANYTHING, so while its nice praise, coming from UBI doesn't solidify anything.

they are what they are...

FINALLLY!!! done, and two pokemon caught, sadly all the gyms are already extremely overpowered, got's some walking to do!

everyone wants the SNES, I agree, but We probably won't get all the games we want, that list will never be good enough.

Wow, Nintendo really? I'm not agreeing to whether this is a good idea or not, maybe they are testing waters, as this could be seen as more of a toy than a console, since it's limited to those 30 games. I applaud Nintendo for trying something different, although this plays right in the hands of Nostalgia and nothing more. I would however like to see Nintendo release a console/service that takes VC and puts it on a monthly service, all you can play Virtual console from GB to DS, NES to N64, (GC would be nice but I'm dreaming)

They are really slow to roll out (or at least announce) new playable Pokemon for Pokken, also what about the Poke cards that were introduced with this game???? hmmmm... hmmmmmmmmmmm

@6ch6ris6 I agree, but I wouldnt be against an article devoted (1 a day or week) to all deals currently available, even if there isnt much

@6ch6ris6 you dont like hearing about gaming deals?

BLAH, that was easy, dont have to waste time going on Amazon today...

Im certain it will be released today or tomorrow *crosses fingers.

My thoughts are "I want it Already".
thanks

@SLIGEACH_EIRE yeah its drowning in "controversy"

I get why people think this sight is becoming disingenuous, I love you NintendoLife but stop being so misleading...

@Grumblevolcano It's an assumption, a plausible one based on Nintendo's recent past, but it's his choice of words that still spell speculation, just because the focus isn't power doesn't mean its an underpowered "gimmick" machine.

@Grumblevolcano how do you separate your "evidence" from your "fake-rumours"? Everything is speculation, so not sure what your sources are that makes one idea more true than another.

It's a slippery slope. Quality in every product/experience is key, diluting the brand is a nono, meaning thoughtful ip uses, theme park is a great one, movie all depends on the IP, merch is good if you can tie it back to software. If it is thought out well, go for it, but we don't need Mario themed diaper wipes.

I never "loved" the gamepad, but I did not dislike it, my husband really dislikes it which meant I grew to love it more since I would be the one to use it during multiplayer sessions (we only have one pro controller). Speaking of Multiplayer, this was one very cool aspect of the gamepad, Hyrule Warriors being my optimal example, having separate screens playing co-op was awesome, and it's something I'll miss.

I rarely used off-tv play, unless i was hunting the eshop.

Integrated NFC functionality is great (no extra adapter to buy) even tho amiibo support has been hit and miss.

Implementation of the second screen has been okay. I get it, if a game doesn't need it, don't force it, but why was there no thought from the get go (DKC).
Some have been simple but elegant, (Lego City, #FE.)
Some just maps (many games),
some just plays the same game on the bottom screen but with touch enabled (Mario 3D World, Rayman).
Some were used to build (mario maker), and more should have used this feature, it's a crying shame that Nintendo fans waiting all this time for Minecraft, and it's the laziest port to mankind!!!!
Some were clever (ZombiiU, Nintendoland, Affordable Space Adventures)
Some were out there, but they tried (Star Fox).

In it's short life it has seen some interesting implementations, but never where someone said "I need to play that way". It fumbled with marketing and the Wii name very well hindered its progress, and confused the public. The gamepad was ugly, functional but ugly, it could have used a little more time int he design dept.

We'll love you gamepad, but we'll always be confused by you.

throwing around the word Censorship like it's a pillow at a slumber party.

Nintendo has definitely given out more love to EU & UK with these, as there are more than double the selects out there vs the US & CAN

OMG yes!!! hopefully a 3DS and not mobile release.

@abe_hikura I think he meant software like OS and networking/online functionality, which in that case lets be honest would have been really good for Nintendo.

just do something that makes you you, shovel knight.

pass... there are (for some strange reason) plenty of Wii U games this month, so I can pass.

what an a$$hat.

It was over hyped from the start, and there was no getting away from that, but from the initial play demo I haven't been interested and it kept going down from there. I'm glad people who want it will finally be able to play it, but it just looks meh.

@Shiryu and Lego Star Wars and Terraria

@zool for the many millions of people who will never own a Wii U of course.

@vforvincent same.

I only wish there were a little Wii U Surprise, sadly none to be had. Looking forward to this and Paper Mario, but... the tumbleweeds are rollin in...

I wasnt expecting it to cost more than 19.99 and even that is at the limits of my price comfort.

The game from what I've seen actually looks quite fun, new and fresh for a Mario Party game. If it's the box art, so be it I guess, nothing to work up about, stop judging a game by its cover. People reuse stuff all the time, that's nothing new. This, like some people have said could just be a place holder, because its super strange that they would cut off Luigi's head like that.

So we'll see about the art and about the game.

when they make another a good game, call me

lookin good! I honestly don't care who ends up making it as long as it's good, also like many others have been saying, I hope there is an NX version in the works.

that box art tho..... eesh

This just looks like an episode of hoarders.

Well they clearly aren't denying it, so it's coming, it's all in the deets.

Until I see something "different" I probably won't move past X-Y, which is fine, since the $CAD has been waning here it's now $59.99 to preorder, and I'm not willing to spend that.

I saw it Last Year in Montreal, it was alright, but felt somewhat disorganized and disjointed. Also it clearly changes based on who the co-sponsors are, in Montreal it was Ubisoft, and Tokyo's was clearly Sony which is why they were so heavily marketing PSVR. It's a good effort but a misguided attempt to teach gaming history.

Amiibo should have never had LINES, like Smash or AC or MARIO, it breaks the whole system that we were promised (that all amiibo will offer something in games that use them). It should have just been the Amiibo line, and then we wouldn't keep getting duplicates, the Super Mario line and the new kirby line are the biggest offenders.

I will buy more amiibo once Nintendo gives me more use out of them. I like that amiibo can offer a little something in many different games, but I want an Amiibo game, that builds worlds and characters etc... based on the amiibo scanned in... I'm waiting Nintendo...

Pretty Sh*t tastic. The game honestly (after all this time) doesnt look all that hot, and doesn't seem to bring anything new to the table...sad...

@RainbowGazelle not any more expensive than the yarn yoshi amiibo.

@Shirma_Akayaku But the idea was never to have people buy amiibo for this game alone? So reading it that way would of course make it a ludicrous investment, this is just Nintendo trying to find cheap ways to give people more for what they already paid for. And using the Mario line makes the most sense since they are the most compatible and widely available of the amiibo. No one should be seeing this game as anything other than a bonus.

I actually just bought STEAM this past weekend, it was always on my radar, and i enjoyed the demo enough, but never got around to it, well just browsing through EB Games and wouldn't you know it, STEAM was on a deep discount, so I quickly bought it up, $4.99CAD ain't bad.

Release details will be nice, I just home every console promised will actually see a release.

US only, pfff figures...

I believe the Pokken Vs. Street Fighter debate is a little fuzzy. The comparison was made comparing the physical Ps4 version to Pokken's physical sales (in NA), and I think people were blown away that a brand new fighting game with little cred on a dying console could outsell a long standing franchise on the PS4, but the numbers clearly skew to whoever was trying to make that point.

@VanillaLake you've already made that happen.
