Well, WayForward are the masters of 2D sprite-based games after all. If there's anyone I would trust to make a classic-feeling Metroid with a new twist or two, it's them.
Aw man, I had my heart set on not getting this, as I already spent money on 3 NSMB games and didn't want more and more of something I already had, but these new additions sound really nifty. Maybe sometime down the road...
Haha, it sounds almost like Flick Rush from KH3D expanded into a full game. Cool for those Japan people, iirc Dragon Ball Heroes is one of the more popular card games there at the moment.
No Tekken for me, but two or three Tales characters would be kinda cool and fit well enough, imo. I don't even want to know what kind of licensing hell would have to be experienced in order for them to put anything Gundam-related in, though.
Congrats and farewell to James who seems to have really snagged a nice job there. Working for the big guys. We'll miss you! Also, congrats to Damien, good luck with the the site, man!
Will probably grab Mario Tennis for a nostalgia shot, at least then it won't have my ridiculously overpowered GBC character carried over. That guy was just unfair.
Eh, I've always considered Triple Trouble the best Game Gear Sonic anyway. Sonic 2 Game Gear was just way too unfair in the level design department for me.
It's really sad when a fanbase is so bad that a higher-up has to point this out. But, this is a problem with any long-lasting fanbase. It's doing what you can to support the company even through the disappointments, and focusing on the positive, that determines your future experience, imo.
Great! Hopefully this'll ease the load on Sakurai a bit, he's probably being worked ragged to get the project going. Would be cool if there was a few Namco guest characters in there, too, I would love to have some Tales in my Smash Bros.

All right, you caught me.

Re: Two Brothers Making Its Way To The Wii U eShop
Definitely looks cool. I'll be keeping tabs on it.
Re: PETA Targets Pokémon Black & White 2 in Latest Campaign
But.....didn't PETA essentially actually exist in Unova? The main conflict was with a group against training Pokémon for fighting, wasn't it?
Re: Platinum: Without Nintendo, There Would Be No Bayonetta 2
Definitely was a sweet acquisition for Nintendo. Heck, Platinum Games in general is a great acquisition for anybody.
Re: It's Nintendo Versus Sega, Anime Style
Haha it's like Hyperdimension Neptunia, but even more blatant. Yet somehow even more awesome.
Re: Rumour: Death's Apprentice Heading to Wii U in, wait for it... 2015
I, ah, um....what? How strange...
Re: Kingdom Hearts 3DS Sold Rather Well, Thanks Very Much
Good to hear, considering this is my favorite 3DS game so far.
Re: Staff Reshuffle At Nintendo Of Europe
James: "Good, good.... The day where I take pver this company come closer."
Re: StreetPass Allows You to Look at a Big Mac... in 3D
Pff, HAHAHAHAHA!! It's just a random Big Mac! Why?
Re: Feature: Classic Gaming Typos, Errors and Translations
I thought it was proven that Error was the character's name.
Re: Nintendo Power Magazine Looks Set to Shut Down
What!? No! That's so sad.... At least the staff members won't be terminated, though.
Re: Rumour: Dragon Ball Heroes Heading For 3DS
Haha, it sounds almost like Flick Rush from KH3D expanded into a full game. Cool for those Japan people, iirc Dragon Ball Heroes is one of the more popular card games there at the moment.
Re: Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge Brings Series Back to the Hardcore on Wii U
Good. Ninja Gaiden is at it's most interesting when it's challenge level is high.
Re: Grab a Gold Nunchuk from US Club Nintendo
Definitely need to save up Coins for this. It's like having only one shoe of a pair, which seriously annoys me.
Re: Atlus Launches Code of Princess Site, Confirms Release Date
A couple days after my birthday! May be good late gift.
Re: Feature: Crazy Nintendo Crossovers We'd Like to See
I would buy a new Billy Hatcher game in a minute! Especially if it involved Yoshi. XD
Re: Legend of Zelda Prototype Cartridge Posted on eBay
I quite sure there are more than one of these. I'm also quite sure that they're faked more often than not.
Re: Nintendo Download: 26th July 2012 (North America)
Look like a lot of good 3DS stuff here. Definitely will have to pick up at least one thing at some point.
Re: New Club Nintendo of Japan Rewards
Oooh, some cool stuff here. I would personally grab the Kirby medallion and Fire Emblem soundtrack if any of these made it westward.
Re: Genius Sonority's Denpa Ningen no RPG Heading to the West
Oooh, sounds interesting. I'll keep an eye on this one.
Re: Level-5's Fantasy Life Living it up With Official Website
It kinda reminds me of Rune Factory.
Re: Review: Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance (3DS)
Eh, to be honest, I'll probably still enjoy it like a 10/10 anyway, but good review, Katy.
Re: Review: Johnny Kung Fu (3DS eShop)
Everybody Wang Chung tonight...
Re: Michael Pachter: Activision Demanded Wii U Pro Controller for CoD
But....isn't just about every game announced so far using the tablet in some way, shape, or form?
Re: Touch Battle Tank 3D Rolls Out Next Month
@runeacer74: Whatever happened to the Vector Tank game anyway?
Re: Planet Crashers Smash Down on 26th July
Sounds good, but the Animal Crossing Wild World curved-earth style of the map looks a little uncomfortable.
Re: Nintendo Direct Next Week Focused on Demon Training
I....don't exactly know how long you've been writing here Katy, but at least the first article I've read from you is for something kooky like this.
Re: Nintendo Patents Improvements for 3DS Download Play
So it could work like the SD Card Menu, huh? Well, any improvements can only be a good thing.
Re: New Super Smash Bros. Is a 'Big Priority' for Namco
@GeminiSaint That's true, I would probably take Klonoa before almost any other Namdai character, as far as fitting the tone goes.
Re: New Super Smash Bros. Is a 'Big Priority' for Namco
No Tekken for me, but two or three Tales characters would be kinda cool and fit well enough, imo. I don't even want to know what kind of licensing hell would have to be experienced in order for them to put anything Gundam-related in, though.

Re: Review: Flip the Core (DSiWare)
"Hardcore shmup fans have been waiting a long time for a solid eShop title..."
...which is why Kyotokei should be ported to eShop.
Re: 3DS XL Comparision Gallery
Gotta say, the XL does look plain slicker than the vanilla. Who knows? Maybe I'll even upgrade one of these days...
Re: Super Smash Bros. Needs A 'Change of Direction'
I like how Kirby is the largest character in the doodle. Don't worry Sakurai, we know you love your creation.
Re: July's Club Nintendo Rewards are Up
Will probably grab Mario Tennis for a nostalgia shot, at least then it won't have my ridiculously overpowered GBC character carried over. That guy was just unfair.
Re: Reef Calls In Real Heroes: Firefighter 3D this September
Could be interesting, as long as it has some polish to it.
Re: Review: Sonic Blast (3DS eShop / Game Gear)
Eh, I've always considered Triple Trouble the best Game Gear Sonic anyway. Sonic 2 Game Gear was just way too unfair in the level design department for me.
Re: Get a Load of This Retro Rap
God I love Richie Branson.
Re: Review: Sonic Blast (3DS eShop / Game Gear)
God I love Richie Branson.

Re: Super Smash Bros. 3DS and Wii U Powers Up with Namco

Re: Feature: The Future of GameCube on Wii U
@Mickeymac Even if you decided to go give a try right now, it wouldn't set you back much. I got it for 4 dollars at Gamestop of all places.
Re: Feature: The Future of GameCube on Wii U
No mention of Metal Arms: Glitch in the System? With some sort of netplay component, that underrated gem would become a multiplayer staple!
Re: Smash Bros. Wii U Wait Could Be Even Longer Than We Thought
Not surprised or worried at all. There will be plenty of other good games until the next Smash Bros. comes out, so it'll be easy to be patient.
Re: First Impressions: ZombiU
If anything, this will be my first WiiU game. Something about it just strikes me. In a good way.
Re: Analogue Stick Add-On for 3DS Revealed
Looks.....clunky, but definitely seems like a nice add-on. See? Now you left-handers can play Kid Icarus Uprising too!
Re: Review: Star Fox 64 3D (3DS)
Huh, no online is kind of a shame, but I really like how they tried to compromise by making Download Play the exact same package as the cartridge's.
Re: Dragon Quest X Requires Online Connection
Well, if it's like MHTri all over again, we may not have to deal with subscription fees.
