Well this certainly explains why F-Zero isn't doing as good as it should be. I guess that tends to happen when you don't bring more then half the content of the franchise overseas which is where it'd more successful to begin with!
Feeding chickens one at a time? That's about as unrealistic as you can get.
I have a flock of my own irl and let me tell you, it is impossible to feed them individually. I've tried it before, and nearly lost my fingers in the frenzy.
Okay that's an exaggeration, but you get my point.
To those who say, "Just buy indie games," keep in mind that not everybody has tons of money to throw at every game that catches their eye. Most of the time there is only enough cash to buy one or two at a time, and it's safer to get a title that is familiar rather then one that you're not positively sure you'll enjoy.
I'm not saying don't buy indie games period, just explaining why some aren't interested in them.
@Unca_Lz I made that post literally two minutes before the announcement for the North American release and right after doing so went outside to shovel icy snow for an hour.
Eh, ever since they pulled the "We'll put our game on a Nintendo console if our character is in Smash Bros." stunt I've lost quite of bit of respect for them.
Normally I'd just roll my eyes and nothing more, but the fact that Namco is helping Nintendo with development of one of their own games, yet still stab them in the back like almost everyone else already is just downright despicable.
@ThomasBW84 You're right, my apologies. Shouldn't have acted disrespectful.
All the doom and gloom stuff has just been getting to me lately. We need SOME good news on the Wii U front. Hopefully the upcoming meeting will provide that?
No offense, but this is getting extremely repetitive. Then again Nintendo has given us absolutely nothing interesting to talk about all month, so I guess this will have to do.
I'm going to ignore my raving inner fanboy for Palutena and just point this out:
The winged Palutena statue is from Uprising. You see it in the Ring of Chaos and Palutena's Temple chapters, with the latter also being where you fight the Goddess herself (sort of).

Here's what I to say about the matter.

Re: Wii U Lifetime Sales in Japan Overtake the Xbox 360
Good news, until you realize that it took almost a year and a half for this "milestone" to come about.
But good news overall, I guess...
Re: Soapbox: Nintendo Soundtracks - Where Are They?
And this is why I'm stuck to listening to tracks on YouTube.
Re: Feature: A Week of Super Smash Bros. Wii U and 3DS Screens - Issue Twenty Six
Eh, wasn't that interesting of a week (even when putting Diddy's reveal into account).
Bowser is my favorite due to the subtle nod to 3D World. That and his pose looks so silly.

Well this certainly explains why F-Zero isn't doing as good as it should be. I guess that tends to happen when you don't bring more then half the content of the franchise overseas which is where it'd more successful to begin with!
Nintendo, you can really tick me off sometimes.
Re: Weirdness: Listen To The Super Mario Theme On A 3,000 Year Old Chinese Instrument
So the actual instrument she's playing is 3000 years old? Or the instrument in general is 3000 years old?
Re: Feature: When Cranky Kong Took On Twitter
Do more of this Nintendo!
Re: Video: These UK and US Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze Adverts Are Islands Apart In Tone
Ya gotta love British voice actors.
Re: Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze Only Sells Just Over 35,000 Units in Japanese Launch
Mario Kart is the Wii U's last chance...
Re: The Year of Luigi Officially Ends on 18th March
Hmm, that makes me wonder if there will be a Direct on March 18th to announce what the next "year of" will be.
Re: Feature: A Week of Super Smash Bros. Wii U and 3DS Screens - Issue Twenty Five
Lucario. That shining eye effect looks so cool.
Re: Less Than 5% of Those Polled by the Game Developers Conference Have Wii U Plans
Barely any outside devs are thinking of Wii U? Imagine that. /rolls eyes
The fact that the 3DS, the far more successful platform of the two, having an even lower percentage is odd though.
Re: Video: Time to Learn Some Facts That Link Pokémon and Science
Yay DYKG!
Re: TwitchPlaysPokémon Takes Internet By Storm
How does that even work? Tens of thousands of people having input of one game at once?! It's a wonder the thing hasn't just crashed or something!
Re: Sega's New Shining Game Is Rather Different From What You Might Have Been Expecting
Yeah... We're never gonna see this stateside.

Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Direct Pointed to Another Wii U Retail Drought
The end of May release date for MK8 was a big slap in the face. It's going to be a very long agonizing road for the Wii U is these upcoming months...
Re: Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire Soundtrack Now Available On iTunes
I would say insert Hoenn confirmed joke here, but it looks like @AnActualDash has beaten me to the punch.
Re: Super Mario Bros. Deluxe Set For 27th February Release on the European 3DS eShop
If the eternally delayed SMB3 is anything to go by...
Re: Feature: Video Game Characters Looking for Love - 2014
No Palutena? Aw...
Chrom was hilarious though.
Re: Mythical Pokémon Diancie Confirmed for X & Y
@TeeJay That technically isn't possible since Carbink is a regular Pokemon and Diancie is a legendary.
Re: Mythical Pokémon Diancie Confirmed for X & Y
Eh, just looks like an evolved Carbink if you ask me.
I'm more looking forward to the Water/Fire legendary.
Re: Extended Nintendo Network Maintenance Scheduled for Later Today
Hmm, Nintendo must be scheming again (but the good kind).
Re: Feature: Meet The Gamate, The Handheld Which Tried To Take On The Game Boy And Failed
Very fascinating. I love reading articles of gaming's past, and this is no exception.
Re: Talking Point: The Watch_Dogs Wii U Delay Demonstrates That Major Third-Parties Are Walking Away
3rd parties are walking away? More like already walked away. Let's face it, the major triple A devs are long gone.
Re: Watch_Dogs Delayed Again on Wii U, Will Arrive on the System After Other Platforms
Okay, that's it, Ubisoft has completely lost my respect for them as a company.
With that said, Nintendo is officially on their own. We need a Direct now more then ever...
Re: As The Maker Of Flappy Bird Withdraws His Creation, Nintendo Denies Any Legal Complaint
I have an evil plan of birds taking over the world?
I mean yeah, of course I do!
Re: Ubisoft To Release New Wii U Title ''Know Your Friends''
The only difference from the norm is innuendo jokes? Still not helpful.
Re: Nintendo Scoops Two Awards at D.I.C.E
At least Nintendo actually did get some well-deserved awards for once.
Re: Sega Has "No Plans" To Release Sonic Boom In Japan, Sonic Team Will Continue To Work On The Franchise
Did, did I just hear that right? The west is getting a Sonic title while Japan is the one actually getting nothing for once?
I'm feeling a mixture of amazement, confusion, and satisfaction.
Re: Month Of Kong: Meet Donkey Kong's Extended Family
Why is K. Rool in the group picture? Pretty sure he isn't related to the Kongs. o.0
Re: Nintendo Reveals Release Windows For a Host of Promising eShop Games
Realease dates huh? I smell a Direct on the horizon.
Re: Mighty No. 9 Is Getting The Live-Action Movie Treatment
If it was to be animated, anime style or otherwise, I'd be all for it, but the live-action prospect leaves me very hesitant...
Re: Hands On: Storing Pocket Monsters in Pokémon Bank
@Unca_Lz I made that post literally two minutes before the announcement for the North American release and right after doing so went outside to shovel icy snow for an hour.
Re: Hands On: Storing Pocket Monsters in Pokémon Bank
"You are tearing me apart NintendoLife! Oh hai Mark."
Re: Pokémon Bank Goes Live in Europe and Australia
NoA says we'll get it soon?
Looks like us Americans will be waiting another month.
Re: Review: Barbie Dreamhouse Party (Wii U)
This is what most of the 3rd party content is going to look like folks, might as well get used to it.
Re: Feature: A Week of Super Smash Bros. Wii U and 3DS Screens - Issue Twenty Three
Sakurai's troll pic of Palutena of course.
Re: Nintendo Is Here To Stay And Will Do Very Well This Year, States Amazon UK Games Boss
Well, at least somebody is being optimistic.
Re: Team Meat's Name Originated From a "Random" Nintendo Press Release
Eh, ever since they pulled the "We'll put our game on a Nintendo console if our character is in Smash Bros." stunt I've lost quite of bit of respect for them.
Re: Video: Smash Bros. Characters Recast in an Attack on Titan Opening
Wait, if this video took 6 months to make, how is Rosalina in it?
Re: Pac-Man Museum Reportedly Cancelled on Nintendo Systems
Normally I'd just roll my eyes and nothing more, but the fact that Namco is helping Nintendo with development of one of their own games, yet still stab them in the back like almost everyone else already is just downright despicable.
Re: Feature: Breaking Down What Nintendo's QOL Platform Could Mean
It sounds to me like they are starting to create a new branch of business, which is a good thing in my book provided they execute it well.
Re: Pokémon X & Y Beta Competition Coming to Global Link in February
How about you get the freaking bank outside of Japan first Nintendo.

No offense, but this is getting extremely repetitive. Then again Nintendo has given us absolutely nothing interesting to talk about all month, so I guess this will have to do.
Re: Hardware Sales Drop in Japan as Wii U Falls Into Four Figures
I really hope the next Direct, whenever the heck it is, gives a good number of Wii U release dates because this is getting annoying.
