It's going to be interesting in these upcoming months, that's for sure. There are so many directions that any one of the Big 3 could go, but only time will tell.
I would be upset, but Bravely Default never caught my attention anyway, so whatever. Still sad to see this abomination appearing in what otherwise looks to be a great RPG.
Kudos to Iwata for keeping a brave face on in the wake of the rest of the gaming world looking down at them. It's moments like these that make me proud to be a Nintendo follower.
I'm so fed up with this. Devs complain that their titles aren't selling well on Wii U, but at the same time exclude features for the system like online and DLC that all other platforms get. Talk about making your own problem you jerks!
If the Wii U already has backward compatibility, then there is not much reason to keep the Wii around. Unlike Sony, Nintendo can't afford to have a previous gen console cannibalizing the current one. The Wii U needs to be front and center, and removing its predecessor should help in that respect.
@Hayabusa KI:U has many of the same features as Smash Bros. (both were made by the same guy after all), so dodging in such fashion actually came from SSB first. Not to mention every character can dodge as is, so that's why I find it odd that Pit's been doing that move so often lately.
I'm honestly surprised that he didn't get cut. Not being one of my mains, I'm really indifferent whether he came back or not. But nice news regardless.
I why we'll probably never see these games is because we Americans play mostly baseball and the erroneously named football, and not nearly as much soccer as the rest of the world. So I imagine the localization teams don't think it will sell well here for that reason.
I guess nobody else noticed this, but that screenshot of Olimar is the first instance of a Pikmin character on a handheld game, barring the Pikmin that carry data during a 3DS system transfer.
Disney definitely has the upper hand since many more people know and love their characters while Skylanders, though it has had a far longer presence, comparatively haspractically unknown figures for potential buyers to recognize.
Nice to see someone else share my disinterest in GTA. I roll my eyes every time I go on my YouTube subscription list right now because 90% of it is for GTA...
The Kirby picture is clearly a first glimpse of a Mario Galaxy stage. The similarities are very close. The only other thing it could be is the Final Destination stage.

Re: Mario & Luigi Premium Wii U Bundle Confirmed For North American Release
Their finally taking things up a notch, and not a moment too soon.
Re: Two New Limited Edition 3DS XL Consoles Coming To Japan Next Month
But of course the chances of those making it over here are little to none.
Why must Nintendo be so uneven with their handheld color distribution?

Re: Video: A Brief Glimpse at the New Pikachu 3DS Game Includes Some Strange Motion Capture
I'm just bury my head back in the ground and pretend I didn't see that horror show.
Re: Bravely Default To Feature Optional Special Attack Abilities as Microtransactions
I would be upset, but Bravely Default never caught my attention anyway, so whatever. Still sad to see this abomination appearing in what otherwise looks to be a great RPG.
Re: Weirdness: If Pokémon Battles Were in First-Person, It'd Be a Lot Less Cute
Pikachu didn't stand a chance, with Electric not being effective and all...
Re: 3DS Tops NPD Hardware Charts Once Again, As Wii U Sales Increase More Than 200%
The numbers for 3DS are just gonna go through the roof. And to think the vast majority counted the system as doomed a mere couple years ago.
Now it looks like the Wii U's turn, and things are starting to get better as we speak for the handheld's big brother.
Re: UK Retailer GAME Less Than Happy With Rivals Ignoring Pokémon X & Y Street Date
The worst part is that Nintendo might never do a simultaneous worldwide release again because of this.
Re: XSEED Aiming For November Release For Busty Anime Brawler Senran Kagura Burst
Meh, I've never found woman with giant water ballons for chests that attractive...
Re: GAME Offers Music-Playing Chest With A Link Between Worlds Pre-Orders
What with NA not getting any of the fun little extras lately?
Re: Nintendo Unveils New Trailer and Details For The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
Hmm, so the antagonist (who looks like a gender-swapped Ganon) traps people in paintings... Is King Boo gonna be a secret boss?

Re: Rumour: New Pokémon Game In Development, Focusing On Pikachu
Oh no, Hey You Pikachu is gonna be back with a vengeance!
But seriously why don't they do a Pokemon Snap sequel instead?

Olimar gettin' down with the WFT.
Re: Pokémon X & Y Pre-Orders Set 3DS Record in Japan
And the final nail in the coffin for the Vita's hopes of beating the 3DS is about to be hammered in.

And I have played KI:U btw.
Re: Nintendo Confirms Lineup and Big Plans for New York Comic Con
@Joshers744 Join the club (Ohio resident here), nothing happens outside of LA/NY in this country.
Re: Sonic Dashes Into Action in These Super Smash Bros. Screens
Is it just me, or has Pit been doing nothing but dodging in the past several screenshots he's been in?
Re: Extra Pre-Order DLC Available for Sonic Lost World on Wii U
That Sonic Omochao looks like the second coming of Tails Doll. 0.0
Re: Nintendo Direct: Wii U And 3DS Broadcast Coming Tomorrow
I'd just like to know where those Pikmin animated shorts went...
Re: Extended Nintendo Network and Miiverse Maintenance Confirmed for 30th September
I'm not going to even bother with speculation, so if it isn't something big, I won't be disappointed.
If nothing else folders would be nice though.
Re: Pokémon Origins Coming to Pokémon TV in November
If it is dubbed, I hope Red's voice is good (but I'm not holding my breath).
Re: Pokémon Origins Coming to Pokémon TV in November
Does it say anywhere if these are dubbed and/or subbed?
Re: Toon Link Adventuring Onto Smash Bros. Wii U and 3DS

Re: EA Executive: Shigeru Miyamoto is 'Falling Down on the Job'
Screw you EA. Sure Miyamoto doesn't have a perfect track record, but news flash, NOBODY DOES.
Re: Japan Getting Two New 3DS Colours, Pure White and Clear Black
Oh boy, more 3DS colors we'll never get to choose from...
Though for the record this particular bunch doesn't look all that interesting.

Re: Review: Tales to Enjoy! Little Red Riding Hood (DSiWare)
The banner picture looks really unfitting for this game.
Re: Pokémon X & Y Nearly Had a Feature To Translate Pokémon Cries
I shutter to thing think of what Hypno would say.
Re: Sega Sammy Acquires Atlus Parent Company Index For 14 Billion Yen
I just hope this doesn't screw up Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem. :/
Re: Inti Creates Revealed to be Working on Shantae: Half-Genie Hero
I smell a crossover with those two in the distant future.
Re: Youkai Watch Receiving A New Game in Japan Already
I'd like to see it come over, but sadly I doubt it ever will...

Re: The Pokémon Company Teases "Special Announcement" On Monday
I'm guessing one of three possible outcomes.
#1 The teased Wii U Pokemon game will be officially announced.
#2 The old GB (not GBA) instalments will be available in the eshop.
#3 The highly requested remakes of Ruby/Sapphire.
Re: CoroCoro Magazine Reveals Pokémon X & Y Starter Evolutions, Mega Mewtwo X and New 'Mon
Glad I choose Froakie. Looks like that BitF entry was right after all.
Re: Rumour: Nintendo Renaming The 3DS Page On Facebook
I actually got an email from FaceBook saying this.
Re: Review: J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings - Volume I (Super Nintendo)
I only know of this game through PeanutButterGamer. Surely I'm not the only one?
Re: Weirdness: This 1DS Spoof is Remarkably Well Done
I'd buy for the TV play option alone.
Re: Nintendo Direct: Pokémon Direct Scheduled For Wednesday September 4th
Why do I get the feeling that another Pokemon will be announced for Smash Bros. during the Direct? Hoping it's Mewtwo at least...
Also hope for an XL bundle!
Re: Jools Watsham Offers to Help Create a 3DS Version of Mighty No. 9
Never has the power of Kickstarter been realized stronger then the past 48 hours.
Re: Mega Man Creator Keiji Inafune Working On Spiritual Successor Mighty No. 9
It's already almost at 600,000! I wouldn't be surprised if it reaches the initial 900,000 goal before 24 hours.
Re: Kamiya: Nintendo "Totally Respected" The Creativity Of Platinum During Wonderful 101 Development
Nintendo, just do the right thing and let him make Star Fox.
Re: Weirdness: ABC News Tells Us All About How the 2Dees Can Play 3Dees Games
Yet another reason for me to dislike ABC.
