This article neglects to mention that picking the heroes gender has been an option in the series past - in the three soundlink games for Super Famicom. Nintendo has already done this. Also I wonder if the author has actually played the CDI games they say are awful or are they criticising from a position of ignorance like most people.
@unrandomsan The term was coined to refer to Rare, an external partner who functioned like an internal one. Retro Studios is 100% a division of Nintendo. Can you provide a citation of your claim about Miyamoto's definition?
@ThomasBW84 A big problem is the conflation of Australia and New Zealand, which are completely separate countries with separate ratings systems. In addition, the body which was formerly the OFLC is the Australian Classification Board. I have no idea what COB is supposed to be? The article also demonstrates a lack of understanding for why the American system can not simply be imported over.
I would most like for Nintendo to bring out Mother 4 but only with Shigesato Itoi at the helm. This is unlikely since, Itoi has said he would not make another one but stranger things have happened. However possibly even more than Mother 4, I would like to see Nintendo bring out Startropics 3.
Also, Majora's mask can't work on the 3DS because the save system (you have to play the game for a good while before you even CAN save) and three day time cycle is a terribly ill-fit for portable gaming and changing these elements would neuter much of the games uniqueness and tension. Why can't people see this?

What about Startropics?
Re: Japan-Exclusive Satellaview Zelda Game Gets Translated And Dubbed Into English
This game lets you choose your gender. Can't fathom why that is not the case for Breath of the Wild.

Re: Poll: Are You An Early Adopter With The New Nintendo 3DS?
Well as an aussie new 3DS owner, who bought one this week, this poll doesn't apply to me. My purchase can hardly be described as 'at launch'.

Re: Talking Point: Super Metroid's 20th Anniversary Reminds Us Of What We Are Missing
Correction: Retro Studios are a first party not second party developer.

Re: Feature: Lifting the Curtain on Game Ratings and the Headache of Worldwide Releases
I'm Australian and this article is super inaccurate.
Re: Feature: Nintendo Games We'd Love to See in 2014
@Doma Fair enough
Re: Feature: Nintendo Games We'd Love to See in 2014
@Doma you've missed my point. Making the quick save feature more convenient will domesticate a game who's idiosyncrasies should be preserved.
