This is ridiculous. End of discussion. She used her company-provided social media platform to advocate "rights for pedophiles"! As far as I'm concerned, they have no rights to advocate! Social justice is a fight for which we cannot relent but if we have to "support" people like this just because of their gender there's no point to it at all.

Sure, the variety of cables available back in them days could feasibly make for a full industrial-size pot of wire spaghetti, but ghosting and post-processing were hardly ever an issue, at least not to the point it is today. Some days I really don't know what I prefer.

Hey, I'm taking everything I hear with a pinch of salt these days. Suffice to say, my biggest worry is that "NX" will be some sort of codename and that the final product will be named, like, the "Super Wii" or something. They need to let the Wii branding die or it isn't going to matter how powerful the console is or isn't.

There's more innovation in those 30-something levels than a decade's worth of ''New'' Super Mario Bros...

Thank you, random game I will never play, for causing the Freakazoid! theme song to get stuck in my head all day.

Even with my nostalgic connection to this game I'm very hard pressed in justifying any score above 6/10. I can only image how people with 0% Nostalgia level feel.

If that's not iconic... nothing is. Still though, can you really claim copyright on what, in essence, is only two notes? You'd think it wouldn't cross the treshold of originality or whatever they call it.

Cry me a river. Anyone making money off someone else's name and product like this should just take the high road and accept the reality of things when IP holders exercise their rights. ...And, who over the age of five uses the word "poo" in any kind of humorous context?

Pikachu means money in any and every language. Yessir, money more milky than your grandpa's cataracts...

This looks like a torture device worthy of the dungeons of the Dreadfort.

All I want is the safety of knowing that should my console brick, I won't lose my purchases. If it weren't for that, I probably wouldn't even bother buying physical copies at all... IF the Wii U had better storage space, that is.

Still about as canon as a crazy guy shouting tidings of the apocalypse on Times Square being the Pope, by the way.

You stay classy there Japan.

Any man who is able to make mathematics and physics fun deserves ALL the respect. Rest in peace.

Hooboy, sure are lots of people of the "there are no gutter shields in life, kid" persuasion here. Hope you restrict that kind of premature "tough love" pointlessness to internet comment sections, prospective parents.

Who's to say what 's better to be known for: obscure spin-offs or causing the mass depression/suicide of thousands of Japanese children, which was totally a thing that really happened?

Ah, yes. Oddworld. The only reason I was even aware of this series back in the day was its stealing the thunder of Neverhood/Skullmonkeys.

People shouldn't be "afraid" to state that the Heavenly Light of BOING! hasn't entered their hearts... as long as it's the truth. True MOTHER fans will not respond in anger or engage in petty hostilities; they know that sooner or later, its goodly and imitable grace will come to all, in time.

Someday, you will grasp the true form.

It's probably a pretty irrational concern but I'm not likely to ever buy an off-brand controller again in my life after a traumatic previous experience. Add to that that it's by notorious flakes Hyperkin and this is akin to looking at a picture of a lemon.

Yeah, as much as I'm anti-PC "master race" and all that, I think at that price point I'd rather stick to Dolphin, especially what with its ability to remove the HUD completely through GameShark codes. I'm not kidding when I say this is a function every game should have, but especially ones with heavily intrusive ones such as TWW. Once you've got the muscle memory down pat, it's just a waste of resolution space.

Protip: Never open the comment section of any video with "religion", "Jesus", or "The Eagles" in its title. It won't help improve your faith in humanity in the slightest.

On this I'm as stubbornly unshakeable as my namesake: Platinum Games, and by extension Bayonetta and its high style/low substance ilk, tend to attract an undesirable element to the Nintendo brand. Getting involved with that lot is not something Nintendo needs at present, or ever. Just fighting the good fight here; I've said my piece.

Not exactly a banner year for Nintendo this. As awesome as Splatoon was, it had the long-lasting appeal of a wad of bark gum. As much as I do love it and it's the greatest Zelda game and all that, it's kind of sad to have to yield GOTY to a remake, even if by default.

Unless something changes right fast, 2016 looks equally dark and full of nothing. Retro-Sonytendo is the only way to live!

Meh, it hardly feels like Twilight Princess anymore. I've yet to see a fan project in this vein that didn't smack of misplaced "fans with far too much time on their hands always do it better" hubris. Regardless of whether this thing inexplicably escapes cease-and-desist mails, I'll take the real deal over this anyday.

This was a huge disappointment for me. You have Vince Guaraldi's awesome music but settle for the blandest by-numbers cookie cutter guff available. And despite the beautiful impressionist sky backgrounds of the specials you end up with with generic temple and jungle settings. This gave me creepy shivers that took me back to the blatant cash-in games of the '90s like Mighty Max and its ilk.

The nicest thing I can say is that it at least provided a mostly painless and profitable set of trophies. (And Wii U consumers don't even get this small mercy.) And that's pretty much one of the most depressing positive points you can give about a game.

Ugh, good grief, etc.

Hopefully, by the time Mr. Miyahon turns 64 there'll be some rules pertaining to obnoxious GIFs on NL.

That title gives off an "obscure, messed-up video game creepypasta" vibe.

It's always a shame when people insert their own opinion in non-review articles.

Finally they've at least halfway approached a price point games of such a... "caliber"... deserve.

Lucas is the last must-have amiibo in the cards for me at present. Still waiting for Daisy or some Donkey Kong Country-related ones.

Second greatest 3D Zelda ahoy! But ya know, I still think Skyward Sword is in more desperate need of a remake. The original TP still looks rather great, SS has been a blurry, jaggy mess since day one. It doesn't help that the wii U's wii mode somehow makes it look even worse.

Generation One is all you need. It's as true today as when The Beatles sang it in '67.

Nobody likes stupid scientifically-correct feathery dinosaurs anyway!

I'm hoping this doesn't take away any direct time from games I actually care about.

I hope that despite Iwata no longer being with us, Nintendo doesn't lose their taste for awkward, cheesy, engrish-slathered, borderline dadaist humor. It's so sorely needed in today's numbers-and-statistics dominated industry.

@DekersHekers Do not misunderstand me, I'm as big a jazz fan as anyone. I think a better way to put it would be to say "not all jazz is for everyone."

Eh, not a big fan of deep-voiced jazz singers like this lady so I bailed out of this one in a hurry. No offense to any of the skilled musicians involved, but it's just not me.

That, and I loathe the Pokemon theme song as a composition. The chord progressions are intentionally designed to be annoyingly ear-wormy and catchy, which spells doom for your song's longevity if not otherwise sonically interesting.

Remember kids, Wild Gunman skills directly translate into real gun skills.

Even if Tri Force Heroes wasn't the bland, obvious throwaway that it is, my reaction would roughly equate merely to quickly dissipating disappointment that the localization team would choose to make a pop-cultural reference that'll make it seem dated right fast. Meh.

Oh, and surely there are better things for which to criticize this disappointment of a game? Much mispriority. Such fail.

Wow.

Pretty and all that but it definitely feels off. Leave it to Nintendo themselves to do it right.

I'm not sure how much I immediately trust someone with such inexorable ties to monetary affairs. Bur he might also provide a more grounded viewpoint that the N really needs.

The world is yours, Nintendo, if you choose to take it. You have the best first-party games out there and have done so for 30 years, but more importantly, you safeguard the heart and soul of gaming. There may be an answer, yet.

Hahaha, nice to see that I'm not the only guy whose art education was basically video game manuals (and Donald Duck comics, I guess). If that drawing is any indication, you're a fair sight better than I was though. You captured the essence of Mario better than most super-advanced, hyper-realistic fanart I've seen.

@Takerkaneanite6 you seriously thought this was a funny enough joke to post it here too? ._.

It's still as much fun today as it was 30 years ago. It's just such a genuine, wholehearted gaming experience (unless you're talking the subsequent remake that totally ruined the platforming physics). I'll gladly complete it for the 108th time in its honor. Let's, uhh, go.

Paying the iron price ain't cool, neither is this guy. Stop promoting him and his ilk.

Speaking of the Tetris effect... Whenever I've played an online game with any sort of chat function, I see obnoxious 10 year olds questioning people's race and sexuality everywhere when I'm out for a walk, just like in the game. What's worse, they appear all the time recently, regardless of whether I've been gaming or not!

...Well, I guess nobody's perfect.

Needs more Snake.

They've a point. But still, reaching the level cap in Splatoon has to be one of the easiest "grinds" in video gaming. Even a non-basement dwelling neckbeard no-lifer is liable to achieve it righto quick.
