I think it's a sweet idea! Disney Infinity is fun, and something that my family and I can play every now and then. Having more things to do in it always makes for a better play experience. I am wondering if these characters will just be for toy box, or if they will release a story mode for them. Now I guess we wait and see if they do the same thing for Star Wars!
I was hoping for a late Summer release for both, but oh well. I was planning on buying both the 3DS and WiiU copies anyway, so I'll just be playing the 3DS one even sooner. I am still waiting on Nintendo to announce Chrom as a playable character though!
Well, I would definitely be happy for either... but if I had to pick, I would want a single player Mario game on Wii U. I loved 3D World, it was amazing, but it needs to be it's own thing. I want a new Super Mario Galaxy or Super Mario 64 style Mario game — more about open worlds and less about racing the clock. Just my two cents!
Edit: I know Galaxy had the 2nd player that could collect starbits and such, and I would be okay with this... just not another multiplayer Mario game so soon. IMO
Amazing infographic! I would love to print and frame it — would go good next to the Pokemon one I got for buying X and Y. I own all of these... definitely one of the best gaming series of all time. I cannot wait for Mario Kart 8 — going to consume my family for quite some time!
Just finished a 72 hour work week... back to 40 hours next week, so I'm going to try to relax this weekend and play some games. Bravely Default on 3DS and Assassin's Creed 4 on WiiU will be my two big focuses. I'll clean up my Animal Crossing town and talk to the neighbors, etc. Since I can't find my copy of Etrian Odyssey Untold around the house, I'll prob buy a new copy since I love this game... been playing Pokemon Battle Trozei off and on as well — addicting! If I end up playing anything else, I'll update it, but Bravely Default and Assassin's Creed 4 gonna be my two big ones!
Been a huge fan of him for a few years — I'm subscribed to his Twitch page and donate the $5 a month. I'm surprised and glad to see an article about him on this website — he breaks his record pretty frequently.
So funny, I was thinking about this yesterday. I almost popped the game in. Was going to wait to play it again until the new DLC hit, and now here it is. Will be playing this tomorrow night!
I am hoping it's not like Sonic X, where the kid will be live action and Sonic will be CGI. Or anything similar to Scooby Doo or the Smurfs when mixing live action and CGI. Nonetheless, I'm excited to see what is going to come out of this! I am one of those Sonic fans who got a Genesis at age 4 — I'm currently 27 with two kids and yeah, Sonic has been a big part of my life since.
That is beautiful! As always, I really want it, but if I have not switched 3DS XLs for another by now, I doubt I ever will (Unless my 3DS XL becomes badly damaged or defective) lol
Review scores mean nothing at all to me. I'll be buying the game tomorrow and I am excited. It looks great and I'm sure it will be fun to play. Everyone has their own opinion.
Found out about this delay in the middle of a podcast I was on last night, so it was kinda funny that I was shocked in the middle of being live. Nonetheless, I am anxiously awaiting this game. I pledged for this on KickStarter and can't wait!
Awesome! I've said in the past, that along with the 3DS, I feel that WiiU can use these indie and small eShop titles as a good crunch between huge retail titles. I look forward to hearing more about this!
Yeah, but just look at the sales. Obviously theres a demographic of people in other categories that would buy it also, including Vita and PS3 owners. Can't go by that though. If they don't want a handheld console, their loss.
@Warruz Not true. I think that it's as "taken off" as it will probably get, and more games will just expand on that. Pokemon is still a handheld game here. Granted people are a little spoiled by Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate on WiiU, but that does not mean MH4U needs to be on Wii U. I'm just happy to get it!
Didn't get the chance to finish reading all of it, but I will later. Good read so far! I always love these type of articles on NintendoLife! Gotta love Yoshi!
Well, Nintendo IS a business after all, and as a business, they do have to maintain a professional image. This is a neutral and good luck in my opinion. I think slapping pictures of Mario and Link up there, although would look bad donkey, would not be very professional. My two cents.
I had to wipe all of the drool off my desk. Man, I hope that comes to America! I've already reserved the game of course, but getting all of that is a no-brainer. That blue shell would look really nice next to my Club Nintendo characters statue and Ganondorf from Wind Waker HD.
You know, I'd much rather play games than speak about the future of the industry, Nintendo, etc... as I've stressed over this when I shouldn't be — but I for one, do not want to see Nintendo move any core game to mobile. I don't mind them making specific apps there, but you gotta admit, there's a huge difference in quality when comparing mobile games vs 3DS and Vita.
That game looks like it's going to be really good. I still play A New Beginning off and on, quite frequently... so I don't know if I'm ready for a new one, but when this hits NA, I'm sure I will get it. Been a fan of the series since the original on SNES... and although it's changed a lot, it's still fundamentally the same. It's still a very fun game to me, and that's all that matters.
That is awesome! I will be downloading and playing it tonight! I was upset that Black Ops 2 on Wii U never got DLC, as I played that game religiously, but Ghosts is fun as well. I'm just excited for CoD DLC on this platform. w00t!
Mother 3 or Earthbound 2 was the one I was really hoping and looking forward to, back in the day. Sucks it was cancelled. At least I got to play the fan translation!
I will buy the Zelda Monopoly set DAY ONE. Maybe the Pokemon as well. I've been wanting the Nintendo Monopoly set for a bit, but I think I will wait now. I'm going to actually be playing these, not letting them sit in my closet. The only ones I currently have are original Monopoly and Star Wars Monopoly (still the best version IMO). Always enjoyed playing the game!
I'll look into this a little more, and of course watch the movie first, but I think I'll be getting this at launch or shortly after launch on Wii U. I am a huge Spiderman, and this game just looks fun.
The PS4 is superior in graphics, not in overall quality IMO. It all comes down to personal opinions and preferences... but at this moment, the PS4 is lacking games (It will get them soon though). There's definitely room for both in this market.

Re: Video: Atlus Serves Up an Early Look at Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth's Battle System
Man that looks so good! Definitely has the Personal look and feel and being on a Nintendo console is even better. Can't wait for this title!
Re: Nintendo Is Working On The Next Mario Game, But Can't Reveal If It's Coming To 3DS Or Wii U

Re: Super Smash Bros. Direct Will Bring the Hype on 8th April
I expect a launch date, new character(s) — Chrom!?!?!?!? and whatever else. I love Nintendo Directs. Hoping for a non game-specific one soon.

Re: Super Mario Bros. 3 Is Warping To North American Virtual Consoles On April 17th
w00t! Another $1 or so download for me, since I own it on the Wii. I have been wanting to replay SMB3 recently, so it's good I waited.

Re: Monster Hunter is Ten Years Old Today
Me too! I own both WiiU and 3DS versions and played both frequently. I would kill for a MH4U on WiiU but it won't stop me from getting it.

Yeah, but just look at the sales. Obviously theres a demographic of people in other categories that would buy it also, including Vita and PS3 owners. Can't go by that though. If they don't want a handheld console, their loss.
Re: Monster Hunter Producer Ryozo Tsujimoto Emphasizes the Value of Community and the 3DS for MH4 Ultimate

Re: New Child of Light Trailer Shows Off Co-Op Mode
@TimLatshaw My e-mail said "TimLatshaw has replied to your comment" — I started sweating, thinking "Here comes the ban hammer"
But no man, you are an awesome writer and I enjoy reading anything you put out. I'm 27 and I look like I'm maybe 18, so no worries! =)
Re: New Child of Light Trailer Shows Off Co-Op Mode
I will probably be playing this with my five year old son. Also, Tim Latshaw looks like Christopher Mintz-Plasse.
Edit (So I don't get banned): An older and more bad ass Christopher Mintz-Plasse though! =P
