@-Godot If a game is torturous to work on, chances are it's going to show in the quality of the game. (also, I wouldn't like for him to go through development hell just so I could enjoy a game)
@rayword45 It's not really a mistake. The point of these is to recreate something known and view it from a different perspective. To make it not as linear, they would have to make an entirely new level, thus making it not really Yoshi's Island.
Recovering is a huge factor in a character's skill. Little Mac's is "just awful", so I can see why he's bad. Not to mention his weak abilities in the air.
I like how when devs do this to Nintendo, the majority never bats an eye; but everyone was clamoring and up in arms when Bayonetta 2 was a Wii U exclusive.
@ChrisT99 There is a lot of algebra, geometry, and other complex math that goes into games. Even simple things require a lot more thought than some people realize.
@unrandomsam Because I'm pretty sure the whole point of this is for tournaments and such, and the competitive community has been clamoring for wired controllers for smash. I'm really glad nintendo is listening to their fans.
@MuchoMochi (answer to #3) Because in case you want to play 'piano style', where you hold it up by the large handle side and press the buttons like a piano (or a arcade stick). It was actually really comfortable. It's just a shame that the micro-switches didn't last very long...
@C-Olimar That's a VERY generalized statement. Just because you're a dev doesn't automatically make you sexist. That's an unfair statement for the rest of the devs.
@DerpSandwich But writing a full length book takes a LOT of time and effort, so $5 is hardly overpriced. He put a lot of hard work into his book and I feel that he should at least get some reward out of it.
@Meaty-cheeky You do realize that (1) Rare is definitely not what it used to be, and (2) DKC2 wasn't that much of a difference in terms of "graphics" from DKC1.
@LUIGITORNADO Well, they're probably not focusing on the level design and the looks and all that yet. I'm sure they're just trying to get a working prototype.
@WiiLovePeace Just because you don't see any changes doesn't mean that there weren't any. There's still coding behind all the pretty stuff that can be improved.

@ballistic90 Ah really? Good to know. Thanks.
Re: Random: Drinks Company Hints At Undiscovered Super Mario Easter Egg
Not gonna lie, I'm now curious as to what their drinks taste like. I guess their marketing strategy works.

Re: Gallery: Splatoon Development Updates Show Off Perks, Weapons and Quirky Shop Clerks
@Tsurii897 I honestly think that would be the best use of voice chat. It would eliminate random kids and bullies yelling at you.

Re: Skylanders Trap Team Tablet Starter Pack Poses a Fresh Challenge to Consoles
@ryanator008 Well that's a bit insulting. Just because you play games on a tablet doesn't mean your mental capacity is any less than the next person.

I really like the link picture because it proves his tunic is not a small tiling picture, which could help greatly in texture hacking.

@Denkou You mean "eggs-actly" XD.
Re: Nintendo Releases an Extended Gameplay Trailer for Yoshi's New Island
I'm looking forward to this. I'm not egg-static about it, but I'll stay hopeful for good reviews.

@DerpSandwich So pretty much you're saying he should do more work for less money.

Re: Retro City Rampage Confirmed for Q1 2014 and a Discount Price on 3DS
@Skeletor Steam has a sale on it currently (67% off currently), so I'd recommend getting it now.
Re: Video: Just Look For The U On The Box, Nintendo's New Wii U Promotion Helpfully Suggests
@element187 Sorry, but I don't agree with that. I don't think an entire console is dedicated to one particular fanbase.
Re: Sega's Free-To-Play Racer Initial D Perfect Shift Online Is Coming To The 3DS
@CanisWolfred Yeah, that's true. Although, I'd say games like TF2 handle the F2P model nicely.

@luigifan2000 I played and completed Galaxy 1 and 2, and I didn't vote for it.
Re: Feature: A Week of Super Smash Bros. Wii U and 3DS Screens - Issue Thirteen
I think I'm the only one in the world who isn't looking forward to the Galaxy stage. The gravity is going to make it hard to battle on.
