Ever since @Corbs left Nintendolife, I can hardly take the retro/VC reviews seriously.
@SparkOfSpirit: Yeah I laughed out loud when I read "If you want some Bimmy and Jimmy action, you're better off tracking down the far superior arcade version." The arcade version far superior??? Sure, if all you care about is graphics. The NES version has double the content.
I'm late with the replies but here goes: @reali-tglitch: Not trying to troll, I just am one of the few Nintendo fans that cannot wait for the Smash hype to go away. We are a weird community indeed. @Nintendo_Ninja: Ha, thanks I guess? I like to think that some of my opinions are "different" instead of backwards. @Alucard83: There are a few of us that aren't crazy over Smash, nice to meet another.
@Hy8ogen: I'm not a huge fighting fan unless its Street Fighter II (played that a lot as a kid) though I would probably get Street Fighter IV if that game came to the U.
"and one of the console's best third-party releases" Uh, no. Other then disagreeing with that comment, its still a pretty good game. I will get this eventually and retire my CIB copy.
@WaveBoy: Back when Wind Waker came out, I probably wouldn't have touched it even if I had a Gamecube. GTA and Halo "realism" was my jam. I recently finished Wind Waker HD and I actually really liked it. If it wasn't for the improvements over the original I don't know if I ever would have finished it though since sailing around wasn't really my favorite and not having the swift sail in addition to the Ballad of Gales would stink like Shredders dirty socks.

Re: The First 4 Figures Sword Kirby is Cute But Costly
Ordered the Light Suit Samus exclusive but don't care that much for Kirby.
Re: Ghost Song Developer "Prepared to Move Heaven and Earth" for Wii U Release
I will probably if it makes it to the Wii U since Super Metroid is one of my favorite games of all time.
Re: SteamWorld Dig Wii U Release Date and Pricing Surface
Never played it so may get it but backlog is way to big already.
Re: Watch Dogs Will be the Only "Mature" Ubisoft Game on Wii U in Upcoming Lineup
That sucks for the few Nintendo gamers that like Assassin's Creed games. I stopped playing those games after Revelations so no loss for me.

@Tasuki: When was the last time you saw him?
Re: Review: Double Dragon II: The Revenge (Wii U eShop / NES)
@River3636: Simple, it's fun to still play in 2014. What more of an explanation do you need?

Re: Super Smash Bros. Seizes Gamescom Most Wanted Consumer Award
@Hy8ogen: It's true bruh, I really have no interest in Smash.
Re: Super Smash Bros. Seizes Gamescom Most Wanted Consumer Award
I know I don't want it.

No off tv support, no buy for me.

Re: The Console Wars Live On As Night Trap Remake Team Holds a Grudge Against Nintendo
Yo @MAB, why did you buy a Wii U anyway? You should have just bought one of these:
Re: Skylanders Trap Team Tablet Starter Pack Poses a Fresh Challenge to Consoles
Good for them. Even more Skylanders for me not to buy.
Re: Amazon Opens Pre-Orders For Super Smash Bros. GameCube Adapter and Controller Bundle
Pass on the adapter, pass on the controller, pass on the game for me.

Re: Nintendo of America Confirms Wii U Virtual Console Titles For Next Two Weeks
Is it now a requirement to complain whenever commenting on NintendoLife articles?
Re: Nintendo Download: 7th August (North America)

Re: Shovel Knight Sales Numbers Revealed by Yacht Club Games
@unrandomsam: How do you know how much Megaman 9 & 10 cost?
Re: Super Mario Kart Speeds Onto the North American Wii U eShop
The hours I have put in to SMK far outweigh the hours I will ever put into MK8.
Re: Hardware Review: 8Bitdo NES30 Bluetooth Controller
Interesting to see this article with such strong emulation references on NintendoLife. Clone hardware is one thing
Re: Shovel Knight Sales Numbers Revealed by Yacht Club Games
Everybody really needs to read this entire article on their web page to find out the true costs of developing a game.
Re: Keep Up With The Latest Hylian Fashion Trends With This Hyrule Warriors Scarf
I'm usually interested in limited editions but that scarf is ugly.
Re: Capcom Is Remastering The GameCube Resident Evil, But It's Not Coming To Wii U
Good choice Capcom. Nintendo users would ignore this game like other 3rd party games. Glad you made Wii versions of the remakes though.
@TheKingOfTown: Or people can only have 1 console and find other hobbies instead of just playing video games.
Re: Link, Zelda, and Lana Show Their Moves in New Hyrule Warriors Trailers
@Retro_on_theGo: What about what you have heard since this was announced makes you less interested in this game?
Re: Link, Zelda, and Lana Show Their Moves in New Hyrule Warriors Trailers
Looks amazing.
Re: The Club Nintendo Reward Details Are In For August
No more physical rewards. I might go with Excitebike since I need that.

Re: Video: The 10 Best Zelda Games As Selected By You
@WaveBoy: Back when Wind Waker came out, I probably wouldn't have touched it even if I had a Gamecube. GTA and Halo "realism" was my jam. I recently finished Wind Waker HD and I actually really liked it. If it wasn't for the improvements over the original I don't know if I ever would have finished it though since sailing around wasn't really my favorite and not having the swift sail in addition to the Ballad of Gales would stink like Shredders dirty socks.
Re: Video: The 10 Best Zelda Games As Selected By You
Of the Zelda games I have played:
1) ALTTP
2) Zelda II
3) Link's Awakening
4) Legend of Zelda
5) Wind Waker
6) Skyward Sword

Re: Hyrule Warriors Nintendo Direct Arriving Next Week

Re: This Master Arts Metroid Prime 2 Light Suit From First 4 Figures Has Lit Up Our Day
Just ordered the LED one. With the flex pay it made it "affordable." If nothing else I will be able to resell it.
