Fun Fact:

In the western version of the Fire Emblem OVA Marth was named "Mars."

One of these days Nintendo should bring the BS Zelda titles to the West. Although I could go for another Zelda game made by Capcom.

I would prefer downloading Fire Emblem Mystery of the Emblem and Earthbound over Punch Out and the original F-Zero.

Although I've been busy lately I've been considering From Russia with Love due to it's positive reception and voice acting from 007 legend Sean Connery. Plus there's always All or Nothing, that game probably has the most voice acting from the actors themselves including Pierce Bronsan as Bond, John Cleese as Q (although it's regrettable Llewelyn wasn't around), Judi Dench as M, and even Richard Kiel's Emmy awarding winning voice for Jaws.

Downloading the demo of Fire Emblem Awakening while posting this blog.

I already ordered my own copy online. Plus I'm getting a free art book with artwork of all of the characters with my order.

Playing Donkey Kong today it feels slow-paced but for it's time there's no denying that it was the best for it's time.

The Wii U is dead ... get it ... the walking dead ...

I guess Sega didn't want to risk ruining the Streets of Rage series credibility. After the SoR 2 the third title didn't work out well unlike the other 2 titles. It's a pity, the second entry in the series along with Final Fight and Double Dragon were the greatest Beat'em Ups out there.

Although Nintendo was a little weak this year I did find myself amused with the best that Nintendo had to offer. My only regret is the lack of Megaman Legends 3 and a brand new boss in Kirby Dream Collection.

I'll have to see if I have enough room in my 3DS. I still have to finish Professor Layton and the Mask of Miracles and Pokemon Conquest hasn't been giving me too much of a chance to play due to it lengthy episodes.

Only one month left. It felt like forever since a Fire Emblem title hit the West.

I think I gave up at World 2-3 on the Wii Virtual Console.

In my defence of Rayman Legends being delayed it was a necessary move for Ubisoft so that they wouldn't struggle with sales due to New Super Mario Bros U. Rayman Origins was faced with Super Mario 3-D Land, Sonic Generations, and Kirby Return to Dreamland which along with many other AAA titles sliced Rayman Origins sales. Plus Ubisoft can take this opportunity to improve the game but hey, I'm just repeating everything written above.

In my opinion, Xenoblade is the Nintendo game of the year.

I have very little doubt that sales in the west can replicate these sales. There's a potential fan base for this franchise but living in a time where Call of Duty is the major contender for the heart of the majority of gamers it's not going to be easy even with skyrocketing sales for the 3DS.

There's certainly a lot of debating and arguments on the comment section for this article.

For Christmas I gave Santa some Vegetables oppose to cookies. Instead of getting a Wii U I got a brand new copy of Wii Fit Plus with the Balance Board.

How depressing, they forgot Kirby Dream Collection and Mass Effect 3. As a Kirby enthusiast I found Kirby Dream Collection to be a splash of fresh air in my life. Truly deserved a better reputation then it precedes. Mass Effect 3 is obvious despite it's lack of DLC content.

Call of Duty might have to take some form of blame but Dynasty Warriors, really? This is just pitiful, since when has Dynasty Warriors promote gun violence? Or better yet, how many times have you seen a single gun in Dynasty Warriors.

You know something is off when one of the worst Bond movies (Moonraker) is included in the mix. Why didn't they use Live or Let Die or The Spy Who Loved Me for Roger Moore's movie?

They did use a female version of Link in the BS Zelda titles.

I checked this game out on the iOS. The game in my opinion is a mess, it forces you to spend over $40 just to get content similar to the 3DS version. Even with the additional characters (props for the inclusion of Ramza and Balthier) and sound tracks you may miss the Event levels and the iOS port suffers from a linear levelling system (you may notice that Zidane oddly has a SSS rank at level 1) and much more. Square-Enix kind of turned this into a displeasing train wreck.

Megatron used Meteo

I see all of the Nintendo Life readers are referencing everyone who thought the 3DS was doomed. Guess Iwata will be replacing the $50 bill toilet paper with $100 bill toilet paper.

I thought Sega was better then this.

This was my main childhood favourite. Other then Pokemon this was the only other Nintendo game I played on my GameBoy Color. I guess being a dimwitted 6 year old had it's cons, considering that I used the Pokemon anime as my guide for the game. To think I was that obsessed with the Wario Land series. After that I finally began diverting my attention to the Super Mario and Kirby series. Sigh, I really wish I didn't misplace everything over the years.

Nintendo probably only included Takamaru so that they can promote him for the next SSB title and Balloon Fight because Satoru Iwata developed the game when he was younger.

Capcom and Level-5 better release this to the West. This is a crossover between two of biggest vanguards of an entire video game genre and to skip out on a western release is absurd.

Maybe a crossover between Darksiders and Zelda is in order.

Better then having to runaway from random encounters with Slimes halfway through the game.

At this point in time Patcher's idealism bares the resemblance of an aborted child's mangled corpse. In short, he was dropped on the head as a child.

Happy B-Day Iwata, don't forget to invite Masahiro Sakurai, generic Balloon Fighter, and Kirby to some cake.

Paper Mario has been falling apart in my opinion over the years. The first two are amazing, but then we got a platformer and an RPG with a messy formula. I just want Nintendo to go back to the basics and provide us with a Paper Mario title similar to Super Mario RPG or the Mario and Luigi RPG series.

A little to graphical, plus Link is missing his hat and Hylian shield. Plus Nintendo is a little too cautious with who should develop a Zelda game. I'm surprised Nintendo would even ask Grezzo to make not 1 but 2 Zelda titles in one year, especially considering how much time Capcom put into the Zelda games they developed.

The best part about this article is the photo of a young Satoru Iwata before he could boss around a teenage Masahiro Sakurai.

"For England James?"

"That and the West."

Pity I already bought Super Mario 3D Land and downloaded Professor Layton. Guess I'll just force myself to play Freakyform if this offer comes to North America.

Anyone want a last second Wii?

How to promote third-party support? Simple, purchase titles from some of the biggest names. The only exception comes in the form of laziness or poor choices (i.e. Mass Effect 3 VS Mass Effect Trilogy).

I recently bought Pokemon Conquest but I'm worried if I start playing I may not be able to get back to my studies. I guess I'll be playing Professor Layton and the Mask of Miracles yet again.

Worse comes to worse Nintendo can lend a helping hand or two.

"OBJECTION!"
"Point taken."

As long as XSEED sees potential in The Last Story, I see some potential for a sequel.

I'm beginning to question why did EA even release a Mass Effect title on the Wii U?

As a $20 deal it's certainly is worth a shot.

What? No Zombie U?

I would much prefer another scenario where Edgeworth and Clive team up to solve a group of murders that are all linked to a serial killer.

Halo: Touche
Call of Duty: Overrated

I found the movie's portrayal of the games to be astoundingly amazing. Sure puzzles could use a bit of a deeper line of thought but the movie is still amazing.
