@JLPick Actually it would be trespassing and illegal entry not breaking & entering since he just walked through an open or unlocked door. It's still illegal mind you, but it's not the same thing.

@ap0001 I'm ambidextrous and I find the game very awkward.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE I avoid smart devices as they're easy for people to hack and spy on you, Everyday run-of-the-mill hackers can do so, which is frightening tbh.

@cmk8 Wow so we'll get to pay thousands a year for VC ala-PS Now?! No thanks I'd rather skip NX if that's a requirement as I'm not Mr. Moneybags and please don't say something stupid like "I should quit gaming if it becomes too expensive" that's a really dumb response I hear too often, especially considering there are far more low to middle income gamers then there are upper income gamers...

@Rocossa Awesome pic!

@ThomasBW84 TV quality gaming projectors here in the US can be easily found for at or under $100 if you know where to look. I have heard that it's a good deal more expensive in Europe though.

@Joeynator3000 Your comment wins the best NL comment of the year award lol! xD

@Action51 Tbh it looks more like a western cartoon with the less chibi-style characters which imo is kinda off-putting. Mind you it isn't anywhere near as bad as others are saying besides that one still image, but I just don't personally like the new look.

@Joeynator3000 Is that you? @Megumi?

I got a chance to play a tech-demo of the game at a local expo and it feels better than Sticker Star, but it's still not as good as the "old-school" Mario RPG titles. Perhaps it'll be improved by launch, but right now I'd call it a solid title from the little I played of the game.

@Buscuitspace There's a serious bug in the game. There are several areas in-which you can go out-of-bounds and end up falling through the ground which results in a hard-freeze of your Wii U.

@Kirk Let's hope if NX is a handheld that can output to TV's that it'll have wireless controllers as well otherwise it'll feel like a gamepad 2.0 and it'll destroy the one thing Nintendo consoles have an advantage over the competition and that is local multiplayer. Sure the others have it, but they don't handle it as well as Nintendo.

@Spoony_Tech Still no patch and I've lost my save data who knows how many times without beating the game due to the game's broken nature...

@JaxonH This is now live on the NA My Nintendo Rewards site!

Edit: And now it's delisted...sigh.

@Lzeon Some, not all and you have to admit that without Operation Rainfall Xenoblade Chronicles and it's sequel likely would have never been released in NA. It's just that Nintendo isn't willing to take any risks which is why we get yearly Mario games while most of their other series collect dust...not exactly a company you want to acquire a bunch of fantastic developers.

I'll always have fond memories of Nintendo, but I feel too burned by their recent behaviour to defend most of their decisions anymore. It's gotten to the point where the Wii U is likely my final Nintendo console, though I'll still probably get Nintendo's next handheld at some point.

@jmbarnes101 Platinum Games okay, but Level-5 would be awful as Nintendo has a tendency to keep titles with distinct Japanese flavour Japanese only, it could mean an end to many amazing series in the west, plus it would force the removal of PS2 Classics such as Dark Cloud 1 & 2, and Rogue Galaxy which are some of the best classic JRPG's on the Playstation Store...

@whitemaskedhero They're a small indie team, you can't expect next-gen or current-gen graphics from them considering the game is such an ambitiously long JRPG.

Uh...what the fronk? Do you pull review scores out of your hat Liam? Your scores never seem to line-up with what you write. I've seen some of your reviews that are positive, but yet the score is a 5...it just doesn't make any sense...

I'm not trying to be rude, but I'm just curious.

@Pahvi Which is stupid since you can't file copyright claims for characters as they are trademarks not copyrights and as such aren't protected by copyright laws...

It's actually a copyright infringement, but I don't understand as this isn't remotely similar to any game or series I've ever seen...

@Bass_X0 Uh...that doesn't mean your manhood in British English right lol? xD
I think you meant disc.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Where? At Amazon US and Gamestop it's right around $18 used with no guarantee it'll work...
Europe must offer better prices on used games...lucky.

@Zebetite Well it's a professional review so it should be at least accurate.

@MeWario It's inspired by it, but it's technically not even in the same genre. For one you can't stop or backtrack in an endless runner as that's contrary to what an "endless runner" is.

@Ninten-san Agreed, Nintendo's first HD console was a bottomless pitt of 2D platformers. Also another issue is that Wii U is barely weaker than the XBone and it released a year earlier, had Nintendo released games such as Xenoblade Chronicles X on day one people would have been wowwed. In-fact Xenoblade Chronicles X actually looks better than most PS4 RPG's so that would have definitely improved sales. Instead Nintendo releases 90% 2D platformers and 10% all other genres which killed the system as far as I'm concerned. I am looking forward to some of the indie JRPG's releasing on Wii U this year including Soul Saga, YIIK, Earthlock: Festival of Magic, Project Light, Chromophore: Two Brothers Director's Cut, etc.

@biscuitspace Dude, this is a platformer...FACEPALM

@therealgamer Sdk?

@rjejr At least that horrible piece of hardware doesn't have to be repaired every three months because of its hinge breaking.

My eyes!!! @ThomasBW84 You might want to be careful the video made me feel physically ill and it wouldn't surprise me if it could cause someone to have a seizure. That said, the commercial itself was pretty rad!

Also they aren't releasing today lol, it's only Wednesday.
Oh! And it's three games not two:

◆ Bonk's Adventure.
◆ R-Type.
◆ New Adventure Island.

About the only thing accurate in the article is that TG-16 VC on the Wii U is now a thing.

@kobashi100 Sales were double that of Holiday 2013 during that period so yeah that's a substantial increase. It could have at least reached GCN sales numbers by its 5th year had they not sabotaged themselves...

@Grumblevolcano That and the fact that the Wii U was on the market for barely two years before the NX was announced. Remember the Wii U sales numbers were skyrocketing at the end of 2014 and Nintendo killed that momentum by announcing the NX. We'd likely be at around 20M units sold by now if it weren't for that boneheaded move...

@Ryu_Niiyama I've always been curious as to what your username means? I know Ryu is dragon in Japanese, but the rest I'm not quite sure about.

Unfortunately it appears that Kerbal Space Program might be sharing a similar fate...

@Spoony_Tech I want this game so badly! Even if I can't get it soon it'll be a game to look forward to in the future as unless the NX is backwards compatible I'll never sell my Wii U.

@rjejr Uh...dude MK8 was the third best-selling console Mario Kart of all-time not including sales on VC. It's sold over 8.8 million units which is more than Double Dash and WAY more than 64 managed to sell on their respective consoles which both sold what? Nearly double the number of consoles as the Wii U? So it did sell consoles.

Cool, I'll eventually get Super Paper Mario and I might snatch-up The Legend of Kay: Anniversary if the sale price is reasonable, but Monster Hunter 4: Ultimate comes first.

Hopefully the Epona Amiibo won't be the only way to unlock Epona...Nintendo surely wouldn't be that evil would they?! >_<

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Wait what?! I'm pretty sure your copy of Skyward Sword was defective then because it did have music, that was one of its strong suits! I agree that overall the game was meh, but the graphics and orchestrated music were breathtaking.

@David_NL Wii U will be my system of choice for this game.

This looks fantastic! I always enjoy a good dungeon crawler!

This game will be a day one download!

@Bengyman Especially considering the track shown isn't even in MK8! XD

@MasterWario Then the eShop will be an empty place...

@retro_player_22 Agreed, I don't mind if hackers added region free and other non-pirating features for discontinued consoles, but doing so on current-gen consoles is FAR too disruptive.

@Dakt Download codes are unaffected dude.

Isn't there something odd about Toad and Wario's shadow in the pic? Don't the Mario Kart 64 karts only cast a small circular shadow?

@Spoony_Tech This is the sequel to that game, and the first game also released on the Wii U as well. Basically this game plays more like Chrono Trigger than early Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest games unfortunately the Wii U version of this game has really horrific lag and audio issues so I don't understand why it would get an 8/10 in its present state...

It's a good game, but the bugs make this more of a 6.5/10 - 7/10 imo.

Heads-up guys! Kick & Fennick is a top-notch 2.5D platformer! I highly recommend the game!

The game is looking great!
