@Blaze It may look like it, but actually no. I play Nintendo because I like their consoles and enjoy their games. I own an Xbox 360, but I barely play it because I don't find it innovative.
It's not so much just because of my love for Nintendo, it's just because I don't like what Sonic and Microsoft do.
I love my 3DS! I always thought it had great potential, and this year alone has completely proven that. I think that with time, the Wii U will take the same path.
At first, I was extremely against the idea of going digital, but now I'm actually really loving it - plus with these being cheaper, it's brilliant all round!
They didn't mean any harm for Nintendo? Even hackers love Nintendo! Still, I don't like what they do, and it gives a bad name to people who have a real passion for the internet.
Archos make quite cheap rubbish and many people know that. I don't think this should cause great concern for Nintendo. Myself, I'm a huge Tablet user, but that more aids my Nintendo gaming than hinders it.
Admittedly, I always check the score first. But as a game reviewer myself, I do try and avoid looking at any scores before writing my review, as I don't want anyone else's score to influence mine.

Re: Capcom UK Cancels Resident Evil "Blood Swimming Pool" PR Stunt After Fatal Attack

Re: Poll: Do You Follow and Watch Rival Console Reveals?
I'll watch it and most likely laugh! For some reason, I can't find anything Sony and Microsoft produce as innovative.

It's a good while since I've used any of those channels, so it doesn't make much difference to me!

@Sony_70 Hopefully dates should follow for the big three, but Nintendo are usually last with their dates.

I'm in the UK, and I don't play Skylanders, however, that's quite a good promotion really!
Re: LulzSec Members Who Hacked Nintendo Plead Guilty To Charges
They didn't mean any harm for Nintendo? Even hackers love Nintendo! Still, I don't like what they do, and it gives a bad name to people who have a real passion for the internet.
Re: KORG M01D Music Workstation Hitting 3DS eShop This Summer

Re: UK Retailer GAME to Sell Tablet Devices
Archos make quite cheap rubbish and many people know that. I don't think this should cause great concern for Nintendo. Myself, I'm a huge Tablet user, but that more aids my Nintendo gaming than hinders it.
Re: Feature: A Short History of Luigi
Luigi, he's quite a guy!
Re: Feature: Nintendo Life's Staff Favourites - NES
It's great to see Bubble Bobble on there! It's a great game, still, SMB. 3 deserves it's top spot.
Re: Review: Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate (3DS)
@Geonjaha Still, it's worth it for the online play!

I have been playing this for a good while now, I personally awarded it a 10/10, it is a spectacular game and puts Mario to shame!

I doubt a TB is really necessary, but it does look very nice...
Re: Talking Point: Review Scores and Unwinnable Arguments
Admittedly, I always check the score first. But as a game reviewer myself, I do try and avoid looking at any scores before writing my review, as I don't want anyone else's score to influence mine.
