@ThumperUK "It has generally been an advantage that the Wii does not have an easy patch facility. At least this means most games have been comprehensively tested"
No, not really. It just means that the games can never be fixed when the problems are discovered.

I personally couldn't care less about the game but I'm glad that its coming out here for those that do. I'm just not looking forward to Operation Rainfall claiming credit for it.
I honestly felt it was the worst of the last generation, although by no means was it a bad system. Except for the disc format the only real problem I had with the system was with the controller. So tiny and awkward.
@Warioswoods That's fine and all but I don't think I've personally ever met a person that wasn't let down by TP. The Zelda games have set the bar so high anything below excellent is disappointing.
I remember playing this game and realizing that the developers of Sonic had totally lost their freaking minds. Horrible. I'd say more but it'd probably just come out as a stream of profanity against the game.
Just a quick check (I'm sure there are more, but I'm not going to dig to find them all) reveals the following games were given a 5/5 by the show:
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D Epic Mickey Dragon Quest IX Mario Galaxy 2 Tatsunoko vs Capcom Bowsers Inside Story Wii Sports Resort Tiger Woods 10 Boom Blox Bash Party Chinatown Wars Boom Blox TWEWY SSBB No More Heroes Meteos Fire Emblem Twilight Princess Mario Kart DS
My god. Will their oppression of Nintendo never cease?
Only thing I'm concerned about with this is the camera. Camera controls can make or break a 3D platformer, and they can be tricky to get right on a handheld.
I do like how everybody is shooting it down without even giving it a shot first. I admit it looks pretty stupid, but I'm more concerned with how it feels. needing a battery is BS though
No apology really needed, as early adopters frequently get screwed. It's just a fact of life with consumer electronics. What would be nice to see Nintendo apologize for is the poor job they've done with the Wii this year.

Re: Rumour: Wii U Heading for E3 Face-Off with PS4 and Xbox 720
If all three new systems are shown I'm going to have one hell of a nerdgasm.
Re: Feature: Bizarre Emails Sent to Nintendo Life - Volume 4
Let me guess: #29 was Orlick, wasn't it?
Re: That Zelda Timeline Makes a Bit More Sense Now
Nintendo would save people a sh*tload of trouble by just admitting that there is no timeline.
Re: Nintendo Japan Preparing Skyward Sword Save File Fixer
I would hope they release it outside of Japan. Kind of a dick move to patch the game but not allow everyone to access it.
Re: New Pokémon Game to Be Announced in January
With 30+ games released in 13 years I'm amazed Pokemon hasn't run its course yet.
Re: Expect the Circle Pad Pro Battery to Last for 480 Hours
So it doesn't use a battery hatch like every other piece of electronics ever? How strange.
Re: Code of Princess is a 3DS RPG From the Guardian Heroes Team
What's with Japan and huge swords? Overcompensation perhaps?
Anyway, I'm actually really curious about this one. I may just wind up getting it when it releases.

Re: How to Avoid Skyward Sword's Game-Ending Glitch
How about just patching the damn thing Nintendo? We shouldn't have to take special steps to avoid something you could easily fix.
Re: Review: We Sing Rock (Wii)
Shouldn't the presence of Limp Bizkit automatically make this game a 1/10?
Re: It's Official: Xenoblade Chronicles is Coming to North America
I personally couldn't care less about the game but I'm glad that its coming out here for those that do. I'm just not looking forward to Operation Rainfall claiming credit for it.
Re: Reggie: Virtual Console on Wii Isn't Dead
I call bullsh*t until we actually see something.
Re: Review: Rayman Origins (Wii)
I can honestly say this blows NSMB out of the water. .
Re: Nintendo Finishing Mario Kart 7 Was an "Act of Emergency"
Let's hope this doesn't translate to the product feeling rushed as badly as it seems it was.

Re: Review: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (Wii)
Can this game get rid of the stain on the franchise caused by Twilight Princess? Judging by the reviews I've been reading I certainly hope so.
Re: Feature: How Japanese Folklore Inspired Mario’s Tanooki Suit
Boy, Nintendo sure is going a long way to try and cover Mario's furry fetish.
Re: Review: Crazy Taxi (GameCube)
That Offspring song is going to haunt me until the day I die.
Re: Feature: Fun and Frights on Nintendo - Part 2
I'm still waiting for an Eternal Darkness sequel. Hands down one of the best things the Gamecube ever saw.
Re: Review: Kirby's Return to Dream Land (Wii)
@Kaiser
It didn't help that it was pretty easy as well. I know I shouldn't go into a Kirby game expecting a challenge but I still felt a bit let down.
Re: Review: Kirby's Return to Dream Land (Wii)
I regretted buying KEY at full price due to how short it was so I'll probably wait for this to drop in price before I pick it up.
Re: Feature: Ten Games to Play This Halloween
This article made me sad by reminding me of the SNES version of Doom.
Re: Skyward Sword Nearly Had Button Combat Controls
Meh, I would have preferred buttons. I feel the novelty of the motion controls is going to become annoying 20 hours into the game.
Re: Review: Wario World (GameCube)
I much preferred the portable Wario titles.
Re: Review: Sonic Adventure 2: Battle (GameCube)
Wow....these comments are something else. Too bad I don't have time to attach a facepalm picture.
Re: Review: Sonic Adventure 2: Battle (GameCube)
I remember playing this game and realizing that the developers of Sonic had totally lost their freaking minds. Horrible. I'd say more but it'd probably just come out as a stream of profanity against the game.
Re: Ubisoft: "Nobody Proved Wii Does FPS Controls Better"
I've never played a single FPS with the Wiimote that feels like it offers anything other than a gimmick.
Re: Review: Aliens: Infestation (DS)
Nice to see that the DS is still getting a few good releases. I think I'll pick this one up soon.
Re: Review: Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins (3DS Virtual Console / Game Boy)
Much better than the first SML, but unfortunately it is pretty easy. Still well worth downloading.

My god. Will their oppression of Nintendo never cease?
Re: Review: Turok: Rage Wars (Nintendo 64)
Nope, didn't care for this game at all.
Re: Talking Point: The Most Memorable Nintendo 64 Games
What, no Paper Mario? The N64 had atrocious support for the RPG genre so you'd think that would be an easy pick.
Re: Skyrim on Wii U a "Definite Possibility" Says Bethesda
Skyrim on the Wii U would be sweet, but there's no way I can wait for it to hit the system (if it does at all). I'll have to pick up the 360 version.
Re: Capcom Refused Inafune's MML3 Contract Proposal
@PaperLucario
Make lots of profit according to whom? The first two did alright, but the MML series isn't a guaranteed money maker.
Re: Capcom Refused Inafune's MML3 Contract Proposal
The flood of fanboy tears about this throughout the internet has been delightful.
Re: Feature: Luigi's Mansion 10th Anniversary
What a peculiar choice for a retrospective.
Re: Super Mario 3D Land Video Shows Raccoon Bowser and More
Only thing I'm concerned about with this is the camera. Camera controls can make or break a 3D platformer, and they can be tricky to get right on a handheld.
Still a day one purchase for me.

Pokemon? Really? Come on now...
Re: 3DS Second Circle Pad Formally Announced

Re: After 25 Years, The NES Gets A New Magazine
Neat. I think I'll try to check this out at some time.
Re: Max Factory to Unleash New Metroid: Other M Figures
Maybe it's just the lighting but it looks like Samus has a bad camel toe in her zero suit figure.
Re: Wii Owners Encounter Xenoblade Disc Read Errors
And that's why I hate the dual layer Wii discs.
Re: Talking Point: What Was the Best Super NES Game Ever?
Zombies Ate My Neighbors.
Re: Feature: 20 Years of the Super NES
Although I wasn't even in grade school yet when it came out I still feel old.
Re: Resi Revelations Trailer Features Classic Voice Acting
I'm guessing those that consider this acceptable voice acting watch a lot of anime.
Re: Not n-Space's Decision to Develop Modern Warfare 3 for DS
Lol at people calling The Conduit a good FPS.
And really, all FPS games suck on the DS. A stylus is a not a good substitute for a analog stick, mouse or Wiimote.
Re: Review: Metroid Prime (GameCube)
Am I the only one amazed that this hasn't been reviewed here yet?
Re: Iwata Writes Open Letter to 3DS Owners to Say Sorry
