Could be interesting. I always found the actual gameplay the earlier games featured to be somewhat underwhelming but I think I'll still keep my eye on this one.
@ClockworkMario
Unfortunately, this being the internet most people didn't even bother to watch the video or try to understand it. They just read the poor headline and promptly lost their sh*t over nothing.
An 8? For the SNES version? Waaaay too generous. Fitting the game onto outdated hardware was admittedly quite impressive but the shortcuts they had to take show.
@KarateKid1234 Saying that it doesn't count because it's fictional is the ultimate cop out. I guess books, movies, plays and television should get a free pass also, then?
People absolutely unwilling to even consider the possibility of women being objectified in games (which seems to be about half of the posters here) makes me sad for humanity.
If this just turns out to be a Dynasty Warriors game with a Zelda skin then I won't touch it but if they can do something different with the stale DW premise I might be interested.
Hey, there are banks absolutely destroying the economy, companies ruining the environment chasing that extra buck and dozens of other examples of godawful companies but let's vote for EA instead!
I've always had a soft spot for Altered Beast so I'll be picking that one up for sure. All of the others are a solid maybe except for Ecco and Galaxy Force (never been a fan of those).
Spoilers: Pikachu turns out to be the murderer and has spent the entire game framing you in retribution for all of those years of forcing him into cockfights. I'm not sure how it ends but I'm hoping it's with a rooftop shootout as a storm rages about you.
Being a physical trainer I can respect that these types of games help people that aren't likely to get in a proper amount of exercise for whatever reason. What worries me is that I sometimes see people treating these as a a substitute for a normal workout schedule instead of using it as a supplemental program.
Comparing the performance of the Wii U to the 360 (which came out nearly 8 years ago) and the PS3 (which came out nearly 7 years ago) isn't really helping anything.

Re: Video: Marvel At The Insane Dedication Of These Legend Of Zelda Cosplayers
The constant spinning and panning was starting to make me nauseous. Was there anything wrong with just shooting the video like a regular person?

Re: Weirdness: This Video Uses Super Mario Bros. 2 to Illustrate the Consequences of Capitalism
Way to go, NintendoLife. Just look at the comments page you've spawned. Time for you go to the corner and think long and hard about what you've done.
Re: The Medics Show Off Their Abilities in New Etrian Mystery Dungeon Trailer
So......basically just like a healer in every other game ever?
Re: Super Smash Bros. for Wii U Facing Potential Error Code Nightmare
Welp, looks like I'll hold off on picking up my copy until this gets resolved.
Re: Weirdness: Conan O'Brien Plays Super Smash Bros. for Wii U
These segments are why I still love Conan O'Brien.
Re: Sonic the Hedgehog Movie Confirmed, Being Produced by Neal Moritz
Re: Slew of Capcom Titles Announced for North American and European Virtual Consoles
Neato! Can't say that Might Final Fight or Street Fighter 2010 have aged all that well but cool nonetheless.
Re: Mario Kart Month: The Developers Who Tried To Beat Nintendo At Its Own Game
The original Crash Team Racing was far better than Mario Kart. It's just a shame the franchise was passed off to other developers for the sequels.

An 8? For the SNES version? Waaaay too generous. Fitting the game onto outdated hardware was admittedly quite impressive but the shortcuts they had to take show.
Re: "Dark And Edgy" Sonic The Hedgehog Film Reportedly In Development
Oh dear. Any Sonic movie would wind up being abysmal, but this.....this might be the worst idea I've ever heard for a movie.
Re: Artwork: When Nintendo Finally Gets Around To Rebooting Star Fox, We Hope The Characters Look Like This
Judging by the smoking gun he's holding I'm guessing Fox finally snapped and killed Slippy.

What? I think you're fundamentally missing what the discussion is about.

Re: Nintendo's Expensive New Development Building Isn't Very Exciting
They should have made the building shaped like a goomba. Then I would have been impressed.
Re: Weirdness: Samus Aran's Metroid Backstory Re-imagined as a Love Song
Well, that was painfully schmaltzy. Also, the eyes on the character models are freaking me out.
Re: Now There's a Kirby You Can Wear
That's a cool sweatshirt but no way in hell would I pay $100 for it.
Re: Weirdness: Someone's Actually Compiled All of the NES 'Start' Screens
Well, I learned something from that video: Action 52 totally stole its startup music. Somehow I'm less than surprised.
Re: Western Version Of Bravely Default Features Costume Changes For Female Characters
Even with the changes they still look prepubescent. Creepy.
Re: Do You Want This Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles-Themed NES? It'll Cost You A Pretty Penny
I'm pretty sure Waveboy would sell his soul for that system.
Re: Hyrule Warriors Is Zelda Meets Dynasty Warriors, And It's Coming To Wii U In 2014
If this just turns out to be a Dynasty Warriors game with a Zelda skin then I won't touch it but if they can do something different with the stale DW premise I might be interested.
Re: Soapbox: Nintendo's Appearance at VGX Underwhelmed, But the Show Itself Was Far Worse
Spoiler: Award shows always suck. Always.
Re: These Pokémon X & Y Playing Cards Would Be Perfect for Poké Poker
There are no pictures of naked ladies on those cards therefore they are not appropriate for poker.
Re: Weirdness: Amazon Plans Drone Air Delivery Service for 2015
I for one welcome our new adorable delivery drones.
Re: Xbox One UK Sales Set to Pass Wii U's Lifetime to Date Figures
@fairybats
None of those things is true.
Re: Xbox One UK Sales Set to Pass Wii U's Lifetime to Date Figures
Well, at least the 3DS is dominating the handheld market.
Re: Signed EarthBound Cartridge to Be Auctioned Off for Cancer Patient
That's actually very sweet. Hopefully the auction does well.
@Undead_terror
I notice a distinct lack of sources there.

Re: Feature: Why Nintendo Isn't Popular in Poland
I always find it interesting to read about the differences in gaming in different countries so hopefully we'll see more articles like these.

......I hate the gaming community sometimes.
Re: First Impressions: Stardust Amazoness
Weeaboo bait and little else from the looks of it.
Re: Iwata: Wii Fit U's Free Trial Period Will Improve Wii U Sales Momentum
I'm sure Wii Fit U will pull decent numbers on its own but I think they're dreaming if they expect it to drive sales of the system.
Re: Nintendo Disables Swapnote's SpotPass Service Due to Online Safety Concerns
Today I learned that a large number of people use the swapnote app. I honestly had no idea.

I've always had a soft spot for Altered Beast so I'll be picking that one up for sure. All of the others are a solid maybe except for Ecco and Galaxy Force (never been a fan of those).

Re: You Can't Buy This Assassin's Creed Flintlock Pistol, But We Sure Wish You Could
There's already people making and selling functional knockoffs of the design. That didn't take long, lol.

Re: Review: Final Fight 2 (Wii U eShop / Super Nintendo)
I'd probably give it a 6 (mostly because I'm a sucker for the genre) but I gotta agree with this review. It's nothing too special.

Re: Illegal Nintendo Clones Are Running Rampant On Windows Store
This isn't really anything new. These types of games can be found all over the android and apple marketplace.
@XCwarrior
Suing Microsoft? Good luck with that one. Microsoft's lawyers would likely chew them up and spit them out.
Re: Hardware Review: Nintendo 2DS
Only one speaker? That was an odd decision.

Re: Soapbox: Why Grand Theft Auto V Isn't For Me
Racial slurs, pointless insults and general nastiness. What a delightful group of users that has invaded the comments section.
Anyway, play the games you like and avoid the others. Articles like this serve little purpose other than intentionally riling people up on both sides.
Re: Rumour: Nintendo Renaming The 3DS Page On Facebook
Kind of a slow news day, huh?
Re: Review: Street Fighter II' Turbo: Hyper Fighting (Wii U eShop / Super Nintendo)
Haha, I had almost forgotten about the horrendous box art for SF2 Turbo.
Re: Reggie Has Seen The Xbox One And PS4 Launch Lineups, And He Says "Meh"
So the president and COO of Nintendo of America had negative things to say about his competition? I am absolutely in a state of shock right here.
Re: SEGA Genesis Shooter, Steel Empire, to Get the 3DS eShop Remake Treatment
What an obscure choice. I liked the original well enough so I'll be keeping an eye on this.
Re: Game Designers Reveal How Super Mario Bros. 3 Would Work As A Free-To-Play Mobile Title
I'm pretty sure the well for this joke dried up a long, long time ago.
