NoA hasn't really got any influence at all, except some localisation and censoring so it doesn't really matter, but it's always sad to see a living meme leave.
Can't wait for Retro to step in after the disaster that was Other M. They can take as long as they want, but I do wonder what games we'll get before it's Prime time.
Just make it a M rating. Most fans have been waiting for more than 10 years so they are above 18 anyway. It's one of the best games ever made but if they are going to cut content they shouldn't release it imo.
@AlexSora89 You're talking about the company that used Challenge mode once (even unlocking it was a pain) and never again. Masuda doesn't care about you veteran players.
@BezBot People will gladly pay more for a game if it's an actual improvement, not a lazy remake. Japan isn't exactly Zelda country but look at how that game performs. But I doubt Gamefreak has any idea how to improve Pokemon at this point.
@MoonKnight7 It might sell but it's obvious Wii U owners aren't gonna buy the same game. And seeing Nintendo releases their high profile games on a monthly basis, every month with a port is a lost month to them.
Other M almost killed the franchise so im happy Retro is taking over again. But what did Retro do in the last years if they weren't developing another game?
Any gen 7 starter would have been a terrible choice. Incineroar is pretty ugly too but Sakurai made him actually pretty cool.
Furthermore, I'm happy that a ARMS character is isn't in the game. I would much rather prefer classic characters like they did with K.Rool and Simon.
We'll see what the DLC will be. I really hope it's not going to be the minecraft character.
@Mrtoad There's no such thing as bad publicity. Besides, I heard non gamer friends talking about real life Mario Kart in Japan so yes, I do consider this to be good marketing for Nintendo.

Re: Feature: The Big Nintendo Direct Summary - 13th February
I give this direct a 6/10. Good to see FE and Zelda but besides that not too many games I consider spending money on. Maybe some Square games.

Nice, I hope they now quit to dumb down Pokemon games so much. Since gen 5 it really got worse with every entry.

The places I visit consider Other M a crime against mankind. Not even a mixed reception, everyone just hates it.
Re: Video: Why You Should Be Pleased The Development Of Metroid Prime 4 Has Been Restarted
Other M almost killed the franchise so im happy Retro is taking over again. But what did Retro do in the last years if they weren't developing another game?

Re: Smash Ultimate Nearly Featured Decidueye Rather Than Incineroar, Lack Of ARMS Characters Explained
Any gen 7 starter would have been a terrible choice. Incineroar is pretty ugly too but Sakurai made him actually pretty cool.
Furthermore, I'm happy that a ARMS character is isn't in the game. I would much rather prefer classic characters like they did with K.Rool and Simon.
We'll see what the DLC will be. I really hope it's not going to be the minecraft character.
