0.99 US Dollars and 1.99 Euros is quite a discrepancy, really. Granted it's a low price anyway, but still.

Pretty nice. Nothing spectacularly catchy, but alright. I wonder if they'll stick with this for NX.

Well well well! Awesome! Never in a million years would I have expected such a speedy Western release, fantastic! Day one for me.

I'm sorry - although I heavily sympathize with this guy and his cause, I just cannot take anyone that honestly wants to consider playing video games an official sport seriously. It's just not a sport.

If Melee or any other video game is to be considered an official 'sport', then that will only lead to more problems and controversy down the line.

Because then what should and shouldn't be considered a sport? Will playing Minecraft be a sport? Facebook games? What if people want to organize tournaments playing mobile farming simulators? You can't then say that that shouldn't count, because if so, you'd be the same as people claiming playing Melee isn't a real sport.

This is the most random thing I've read all year... XD

Did Nintendo actually approve this? Because I can easily see this being a hoax.

That was pretty neat. Some better than others, but overall cool. I especially liked the Sheik/Zelda part.

Only took 'em what, 3.5 years to bring this to Wii U? -_-'

Nice idea. If they'd done it a few years ago. :/

'This fiscal year, the 3DS has big titles as previously presented, and in sufficient quantity'

Lol, 'sufficient quantity'? It has basically nothing, besides the new Pokémon games and maybe the new Monster Hunter.

Yeah some nice RPGs and a few cool niche games, but nothing else really to sway consumers who don't already have a 3DS...

40 bucks? That's crazily overpriced!
It's just a small plastic stick, it doesn't even have moving parts or do anything at all. This should be 9.99 at most. Just wow.

Seems like a given that their new project is an NX game. A new IP would be nice too, although I wouldn't mind a new Metroid from them.

They're a long way from being Nintendo's 'new Rare' though - Rare put out immense quantities of top-notch games very fast, whereas Retro take absolutely ages to do anything. Granted, developing games takes more resources nowadays, but even then their output is very slow.

Nice. I'll probably get the Squid Sisters, eventually.

Couldn't care less about the new colour variations of the others, though. Seems overkill to me, much like the 'summer outfit' variations of certain Animal Crossing amiibo. :/

Then again, if it makes Nintendo money, who am I to complain.

If anything, Nintendo will (rightly) see this as conformation that Animal Crossing HHD and its amiibo cards are the way to go. :/

Hyrule Warriors Legends Ultimate Edition confirmed. Now with even more waifu!

Well, pretty much as expected, then.

On a side note; I'm now fully convinced NX will not be coming in March 2017,but instead be delayed to layer in the year. If they've no problems having zero meaningful products for the rest of 2016 and into 2017, and they plan to have basically no E3 presence apart from Zelda, it's pretty obvious. Not even an NX appearance @E3? No way the thing's launching in March 2017, then.

Wait what? Seriously? That's... Unexpected. Wow. Then again, I'm sure they know what they're doing.

Gahh. T_T

What's so bad about swimwear and bikinis? Will kids' brains explode when they see characters dressed in them? I don't get it, it's not like they're naked, of having sex, or you can fondle them like in FE Fates, right?

10 years already? Crazy. One of my top 5 games ever, definitely.

Also, I still maintain an HD version on Wii U with Gamepad controls would be the definitive edition.

Okami is one of my top 5 games ever. Such fond memories... *. * Too bad the HD version never came too Wii U; the Gamepad would've been absolutely perfect for it, and it would've been the definitive version of the game.

That was cool. :] I have fond memories of this game! First game to give Yoshi his trademark voice, too. Very underrated gem!

Very neat. :]

I never got the impression that people thought the game was too easy. On the contrary, most of what I've been reading has been about how difficult the game is due to its controls.

Well that was... Gross.

Looks beautiful, although I really prefer the look of Zelda U.

Saw this last week. At this rate, the whole of old Rare will be working @ Playtonic soon...

75 levels? Wow.

32-bit is not N64-like power. The '64' part stands for 64-bit. Also, 30 hours of battery life is laughably insane. And a release in 1996? Like, the year the N64 itself came out? The N64 was cutting edge back then.

It would be like saying Nintendo will release a 4DS this year that will have the same power as the rumored PS4K/PS4.5 and will have a 30hr battery life. X'D

Why isn't Splatoon an option on the list of games that make the best use if the Gamepad?

Also, Lego City. That game had some great Gamepad usage!

@TheRealThanos No it was a video by NGameTheCube, but I'm on my phone and can't embed here. But it covers the same points.

Just saw a YouTube video of this. Certainly intriguing! Nintendo really needs to come out and unveil this thing already, these leaks and rumours are getting out of hand - it's only a matter of time before some really serious leakage occurs. :/

Oh, Aonuma and his big voluptuous women. XD

Oh dear. This can't turn out well. Turning a cartoon aimed at small kids into a live-action movie? Urgh. -_-'
A CGI animated movie could work, but live action? No way.

How unexpected yet fitting! Nice.

Obviously New Leaf. Seems the vast majority agrees.

Can't wait for AC on NX - it's bound to come out pretty soon after launch, if not @ launch, since it's such an enormous IP and it's been years since New Leaf. I'm betting a full-blown AC must've been in development for Wii U, but after it became clear that system wouldn't last, development likely shifted towards making it into an NX title.

First Punch-out!!, then SMB3 and now this... What's happening all of a sudden?

Probably about Iwata, but not necessarily, really. Could be about anyone.

@electrolite77 Exactly, a demo would be perfect, as I'm interested in the game, but since the controls are so divisive, I'd like to try it out before plonking down 60 or so Euros.

There's literally no reason at all for Nintendo not to release a short demo. If ever a game sorely needed one, it's this one.

It's sad that Nintendo implemented this forced 'innovative' yet unintuitive control scheme that the majority of people don't seem to like/can't get into. Haven't played the game, but tbh it seems awkward as heck.

So weird, especially considering Nintendo and especially Miyamoto himself are always going on about making games fun and easy to play, and accessible to anyone.
Moreover, forcing the game to use 2 screens has greatly reduced the visual quality. :/ I'm just sad about this whole thing.

It's a clear case of trying to be innovative just for the sake of being innovative - they've tried way too hard to desperately come up with some spectacular use of the Gamepad, yet in the end the game suffers for it, both visually and control-wise.

That's unexpectedly cool! Especially considering nobody's noticed this before in like 3 decades.

Alex is my hero. XD

Oh noez! A top-40 player beats top-10 players! How unfair, let's ban the character they're using, as this cannot be allowed!

Cool, just tried it on my phone, but it's pretty unplayable using touchscreen controls. Looks neat though!

I doubt Nintendo will allow this to stay online for very long.

If he's the last survivor, how come there are dozens of people?

The classic Nintendo logo was red on a white background instead of the other way around, right?

Anyway! I like it.

@BaffleBlend What is this thing called a Sticker Star fan you speak of?

Who cares? Like, at all? Everyone but the most hardcore of Pokémon fans have been complaining for years that there are way too many stupidly designed and named Pokémon, and that it feels like new ones are added and made up with little effort just for the sake of adding new ones. I'd be grateful if they only put in a handful of new monsters, as long as they're thoughtfully designed - instead of just, say, a bunny with green ears or a generic bird with a pink tail or whatever.

Well I remember one of Nintendo's figureheads saying years ago that development of a new console takes around a billion US Dollars, all in all, so this figure isn't that surprising, really.

Finally. Although imo they've made it far too convoluted. I don't understand the need for both Gold and Platinum points, as a single version would've sufficed easily.
Also, the fact that there's My Nintendo, Nintendo Network ID as well as a Nintendo Account confuses me thoroughly... :/ Why the need for so many different things?

@Rikaria Got it, thanks a bunch!
