@Yorumi Well, MK7 had a bad roster, too, and that didn't have any DLC. I don't think Nintendo is intentionally gimping the roster for DLC, I think they're just bad at making rosters for Mario Kart. That said, I agree that intentionally gimping a roster to sell DLC is a bad move, I just don't think Nintendo is being deceptive. Doesn't make the roster any better, though.
I mean, how are Diddy Kong and Bowser Jr. not in this game? Who would want more metal or baby characters over them?
@AdanVC Because they apparently don't own the chip they used to make it. It's not like they couldn't do something about that, but it looks like none of the Super FX games are ever coming to the VC.
I'm disappointed that they never pursued the 3D one sinply because Kirby has never had a proper 3D adventure yet. I think it's about time now, isn't it?
This will be their holiday game. It has to be, there's nothing else they could put out that would do as well as this. If they don't release it then, well, goodbye sales.
I hope they don't reveal any of the hidden characters, even if some are new. I want some surprises when I get my copies. The starting roster is fine, though.
What I want is some sort of cross-promotion for those who want to get both. I'm a big Smash fan, but that would really put it over the top for me to get both.

Re: Mario Kart Month: Mario Kart 8 Character Profiles - The Veterans
Toad in every game and teamed with Bowser Jr. in Double Dash.
Re: Mario Kart Month: An Outsider's View Of Super Mario Kart
Still beats the boring Mario Kart 64 anyday. This is still my go to Mario Kart for pick up and play.
Re: Review: Mega Man Xtreme (3DS eShop / Game Boy Color)
No idea why people voted for this first. It doesn't stack up to IV, V, or Xtreme 2 at all. It's pretty average.
Re: Upcoming Child of Light Patch to Rename Difficulty Settings
What a waste of time.
Re: Video: Nintendo Minute Kicks of its Mario Kart May With Some SNES Racing
Come on, NOA.
Re: Weirdness: Super Mario Bros. 3 Can Be Beaten in Under Three Minutes
@SammySpaceTime Because without tools there's no way to beat the game that quickly?
Re: Nintendo Download: 1st May (North America)
I'm not sure why people voted for Xtreme 1 over IV, V or Xtreme 2, but it's a decent game.
Will be going for Mega Man first this week.

Re: Nintendo Direct: Special Mario Kart 8 Direct Shows New Features, Racers And Items
I can't believe they removed all the Donkey Kong characters and fan favorites like Bowser Jr. and Dry Bones for ANOTHER baby and metal character.
Whoever picks these rosters does a horrible job.
DLC, please.
Re: Lucasfilm Decrees That All Star Wars Video Games Are Non-Canon
Most of that stuff has better writing than the prequels.
Make THOSE non-canon.
Re: Matters of Import: Sega 3D Classics Races Ahead With 3D OutRun
It'll be a while before this is announced for NA. The last line up was out a year or so in Japan before it came out here.
That said, THANK YOU for finally making OutRun into a 3D classic, Sega!
Re: Infinity Runner Heading To Wii U eShop
Taking the best parts of Mirror's Edge? I'm interested.
Re: Review: Kirby: Triple Deluxe (3DS)
Can't wait to play this. Kirby games are always totally fun, especially the platformers.
Re: Download Developer Hits a "Brick Wall" When Trying to Reach Nintendo Indie Executive for Interview
Negative opinion, huh? Well, that obviously means all the positive ones were wrong.
Gamer logic at work.
Re: Fresh Super Smash Bros. Screens Show Zero Suit Samus in Action
"Objectifying", lol.
Re: Video: We Put The Pedal To The Metal In Sega's 3D OutRun
The best racing series. Shame we'll probably have to wait to get them until after they're all done for months like the first line.
Re: German Ratings Board Leaks Another World: 20th Anniversary Edition for Wii U and 3DS
@SKTTR They modernized it in all the worst ways.
I hope this fares better.
Re: Nintendo Download: 24th April (North America)
@AdanVC Because they apparently don't own the chip they used to make it. It's not like they couldn't do something about that, but it looks like none of the Super FX games are ever coming to the VC.
Re: Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call Announces Free And Paid-For DLC Tracks
@Expa0 Every track from the first game is available in this one including DLC tracks. You already get more than enough content in the base game.
Re: Possibility of SNES Remix and Other Remix Titles Depends on Fan Support
Get in touch with Sega and make 16-bit Remix based on the console wars. Come on, that would be so good.
Re: Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call Is Serenading The West Later This Year
I never got around to the first one. Will definitely be picking this up.
It's strange for me to be anticipating a Final Fantasy game since IX (and the original Crystal Chronicles) was the last time the series interested me.
Re: Review: NES Remix 2 (Wii U eShop)
Awesome. Can't wait.
Now put out 16 bit Remix: Nintendo & Sega and we're good to go.
Re: Game & Watch Gallery 3 Rated for 3DS Virtual Console Release
First two were great, can't wait for this one. Shame 4 will be skipping the 3DS...
Re: Rumour: Ubisoft Working On 2D Prince Of Persia Reboot With The UbiArt Engine
Back to the older tone of the series, please?
Re: Month Of Kirby: Kirby's Lost Levels
I'm disappointed that they never pursued the 3D one sinply because Kirby has never had a proper 3D adventure yet. I think it's about time now, isn't it?
Re: DuckTales: Remastered Digital Soundtrack Coming to Amazon
So, when is the next Disney/Capcom game getting announced? It's about time isn't it?
Re: Video: Here's a Comparison of Mario Kart's Donut Plains 3 from SNES to Wii U
Gamexplain is one of the few gaming outlets I follow outside of Nintendolife. Their videos are really fun.
Re: Review: Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - Deluxe Edition (Wii U eShop)
And to think this team almost made that Maverick Hunter FPS. No wonder it was scrapped.
These guys need to step their game up.
Re: Nintendo Confirms Five Games That'll be Playable at WonderCon
They're not going to announce anything before E3. Not sure what some people are expecting.
Re: Australian Classification Board Rates Xtreme Sports for 3DS Virtual Console
@Kyloctopus Third parties did a lot on the GBC.
I dig WayForward's GBC games, so I'll keep it in mind.
Re: Vita Overtakes 3DS in Tough Week for Japanese Charts
PS4 proving to the world that consoles still sell in Japan. Oh wait, we already knew they didn't.
Re: Castlevania: Dracula X And Mega Man 5 Hitting The Japanese Wii U Virtual Console Next Week
Mega Man 7 and X3, please.
Re: Talking Point: Amazon Fire TV is an Early Warning for Console Heavyweights
Third parties should be ecstatic. Touch games AND it's not Nintendo. Win-win for them.
Re: Review: Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga (Wii U eShop)
This game is great, as are all the other games except the second one. Man, Partners In Time was so boring and dull.
Re: Rumour: Mario Golf: World Tour To Offer Additional Courses As Paid DLC
Hopefully Mario Kart 8 gets some DLC courses after the initial 32. As long as I get a full game first, DLC is just icing on the cake.
Re: Feature: The Castlevania That Konami Doesn't Want You To Know About
I thought this article was going to be about how Konami won't re-release Bloodlines for some reason.
This game is just awful. It's the Castlevania equivalent of Contra Legacy of War in missing the point of what people enjoy the series for.
Re: Super Mario 3D World Double Disc Soundtrack Arrives on Club Nintendo
Good 'ol NOA.
Re: Review: Kirby & The Amazing Mirror (Wii U eShop / Game Boy Advance)
This is one of my least favorite Kirby games and I'm a fan of both Kirby games and Metroidvania style games. This one has never quite worked for me.
Re: Mario Party: Island Tour Stays on Top in Japan as Hardware Sales Plummet
@mch Strange, I don't see any articles about that subject...
But yeah, console sales this gen are not going to be very impressive. I don't know why anyone expected the PS4 or One to take off.
Re: Subtle Character Design Changes Spotted for North American Version of Azure Striker Gunvolt
Looks less generic. I approve.
Re: New Online Multiplayer Modes Revealed for Super Smash Bros. on 3DS and Wii U
Did nobody play Kid Icarus online? Why are you doubting Sakurai here?
Re: New Online Multiplayer Modes Revealed for Super Smash Bros. on 3DS and Wii U
I bet those Final Destination variants will be available for offline. Probably purely for tourny players.
@Skeet102 Why what? It's optional.
Re: Yoshi, Sheik, and Zero Suit Samus Confirmed as Challengers in Super Smash Bros.
Captain Falcon, Ness, Jigglypuff, Gannondorf, Ice Climbers, and Mr. Game & Watch. Though I bet they're gonna be hidden.
Re: Massive Pokémon Reveals Occur During Super Smash Bros. Nintendo Direct
@Funny_Moblin Yes, same with Zelda and Sheik.
Re: Massive Pokémon Reveals Occur During Super Smash Bros. Nintendo Direct
@Angelic_Lapras_King Jigglypuff is basically a lock. They're never going to cut Smash 64 characters.
Re: Massive Pokémon Reveals Occur During Super Smash Bros. Nintendo Direct
@Luigifan141 Oh yeah. Well, I guess that goes without saying. All Smash 64 characters will make the cut.
Re: Massive Pokémon Reveals Occur During Super Smash Bros. Nintendo Direct
Good choices. I guess after Mewtwo is announced that will be all the Pokemon characters.
Re: Super Smash Bros. Hitting 3DS This Summer, Wii U Launch To Take Place In The Winter
This way I have enough time to get money for both.
Re: Feature: What We Want to See in Nintendo's Super Smash Bros. Direct

Re: Nintendo Releases An Awesome Mario Kart Infographic
Double Dash is still my favorite.
I really wish they would follow it up with a sequel of some sort. Two man karts are simply too great of an idea to be used the once.
