When are we getting Columns? I've waited so long. Good to see they're continuing Virtual Console support, though. I've heard some decent things about Tail's Adventures.
@DrKarl Creators are very rarely satisfied with their products after they ship them. It's just that now, they're capable of going back and fixing problems. I don't think developers have gotten lazier-if anything, this shift has made it more difficult for them to leave projects be and not continually go back to adjust them.
I'm still excited, but disappointed that he just wants to "go deeper". It's been 9 years since the last Pikmin game, and I don't think people will be satisfied with more of the same.
This could be great, it could be awful, but either way I won't be able to play it. They didn't have online multiplayer in NSMB2, NSMBU, or Nintendo Land, and they there won't be any for Pikmin 3. Why?
@SanderEvers What's the problem with that? Are you saying you would rather the Wii U version is worse, or adds a gimmick to take advantage of the Wii U's extra capabilities? Because both of those sound awful to me.
@ziLToiD That's the best argument I've heard for an achievement system being built in instead of developers making their own achievement systems for individual games.
60 dollars isn't a fair amount of money for a game on any console, but developing games is expensive and that's the standard right now, so I don't see why it should be different on the Wii U. Why do the people writing these articles have no problem with the PS3, 360, and most likely their respective successors doing this?
So wait, a long-running, well-written video game magazine is closing, and their final issue teases new Mario, Metroid, Zelda, Pokemon, Smash Brothers, F-Zero AND Star Fox information, and everyone's too busy discussing the cover art to care?

Nintendo, it's like you're trying to fail. Why not just give the option to turn it off, or limit chat to friends? Anyway, I''m looking forward to playing a zombie game during lunch break and asking for help, then waiting half an hour for the message to show up, then waiting for someone to answer it, and waiting for their answer to show up, which will take another half hour, by which point my lunch break is over.

Alright, you guys are just asking for hate threads at this point.
Re: Review: Goony (DSiWare)
Just got it, and it's really god. Something worth spending your extra dollars from HarmoKnight on.

Glad you folks are getting this, the game is aces.

Re: Pikmin 3 Aims to "Simply Go Deeper" Than Previous Experiences
I'm still excited, but disappointed that he just wants to "go deeper". It's been 9 years since the last Pikmin game, and I don't think people will be satisfied with more of the same.
Re: F-Zero AX Found Hidden In GameCube F-Zero GX
This is why I love TCRF.
Re: Ubisoft: Rayman Legends Delay Will Result In A Better Game For Wii U
@Whirlpool It's a finished game and they're not releasing it. They're not delaying it to make it a better game, no matter what they say.
Re: Feature: Nintendo Battle - Donkey Kong: Tabletop vs. Game & Watch
More features like this, please. I enjoy looks at older hardware.
Re: It Doesn't Look Like Bungie's Next Epic Is Coming To Wii U
I am adding the term "platform agnostic" to my vocabulary.
Re: Journey Developer's Next Game Could Be Coming To The Wii U
It was never a "sleeper hit". It was the fastest selling PSN game.
Re: Full Mojo Rampage Could Bring Voodoo to Wii U
So I see they haven't gotten any better at naming things...
Re: Nintendo Subsidiary Known For Work On Mother 3 Becomes "1-UP Studio"
Awww, I liked Brownie Brown. This is an alright name too, I suppose.
Re: Talking Point: Wii U Direct - Tell Us What You Thought
I am so happy right now.
Re: Local Multiplayer Sneaks Up On Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon
This could be great, it could be awful, but either way I won't be able to play it. They didn't have online multiplayer in NSMB2, NSMBU, or Nintendo Land, and they there won't be any for Pikmin 3. Why?
Re: Feature: 10 Essential Games For Your New Wii U
We are able to argue about the best games for a system that has only been out for a month. That makes me happy.
Re: The Cave On Wii U Is "Pretty Much" Like Other Versions
@SanderEvers What's the problem with that? Are you saying you would rather the Wii U version is worse, or adds a gimmick to take advantage of the Wii U's extra capabilities? Because both of those sound awful to me.
Re: Pachter: "I think Nintendo becomes completely irrelevant"
Why is this news?
Re: Iwata Explains Where The Name HAL Laboratory Came From
@Tsuchiya Really? Where did you hear about it?
Re: Game Designer Says "Wii U Isn't Sure of Itself, and That's its Greatest Virtue"
@MadAussieBloke crApple? Really?
Re: Iwata Explains Where The Name HAL Laboratory Came From
That's actually a lot more clever.
Re: The Wii U CPU Is "Horrible" According To Metro: Last Light Developer
@Damagemanual This is a very small team, Metro is hardly AAA, and have you seen any of the 1000 articles about THQ's financial position?
Re: The Wii U CPU Is "Horrible" According To Metro: Last Light Developer
@19Robb92 Which is a good reason.
Re: Talking Point: Life Without Wii U Achievements
@ziLToiD That's the best argument I've heard for an achievement system being built in instead of developers making their own achievement systems for individual games.
Re: Talking Point: Life Without Wii U Achievements
@AltDotNerd How is Club Nintendo like achievements?
Re: Review: Johnny Hotshot (3DS eShop)
Why did you even bother giving it 2 stars?
Re: Review: Pokédex 3D Pro (3DS eShop)
7/10 for a 15 dollar collection of 3-D models? Are you kidding?
Re: Developer Interview: Nyamyam On Tengami, Life After Rare And Nintendo's Stance On Indies
David Wise is enough to get my attention.
Re: Miyamoto's Ideas for Metroid can be Found in Nintendo Land
@Bliquid 2 years is too long? Man, you must've hated the wait for Metroid Prime.
Re: Mario Clone Super Maria Land Jumps Onto Android
"but unlike iOS, Android isn't all that well policed"
Did you just imply iOS was well-policed?
Re: Talking Point: Are Wii U Games Going To Be Too Expensive?
60 dollars isn't a fair amount of money for a game on any console, but developing games is expensive and that's the standard right now, so I don't see why it should be different on the Wii U.

Re: Final Issue of Nintendo Gamer Launches With Exclusive Wil Overton Cover
So wait, a long-running, well-written video game magazine is closing, and their final issue teases new Mario, Metroid, Zelda, Pokemon, Smash Brothers, F-Zero AND Star Fox information, and everyone's too busy discussing the cover art to care?
Re: Blitz: Forget The Specs, Wii U Is Getting Developers Excited
@Samholy What mind and freedom? Blitz is a shovelware developer.
Re: Feature: In Defence of Super Mario Sunshine
@Happy_Mask Exactly! Why did a platformer need a jumping mechanic???

Typo? It that really you?
Re: Nintendo Confirms Its Holiday Hits in North America
@Medicham Are you kidding? Winx Club: Magical Fairy Party is going to be GOTY!
(seriously though, don't forget adventure time)
Re: Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon Spooked Into 2013 For North America
@Aviator It specifies "for North America". I don't see why it would be ready in Europe and not here.
Re: New Super Mario Bros. 2 Trailer is Informative
@DrCruse
Super Meat boy=Infinite lives=Crazy Hard

Kirby's Epic Yarn=Can't Fail=Still Rather Difficult if You Try to 100% it
Re: Super Smash Bros. 3DS and Wii U Powers Up with Namco
@retro_player_22 It would still be removing characters.
Re: New Super Mario Bros. 2 Trailer is Informative
@TrueWiiMaster No confirmation.
Re: Super Smash Bros. 3DS and Wii U Powers Up with Namco
The art director from Soul Calibur is going to be involves in the new model of Samus?
I'm getting really worried about this...
Re: 3DS Virtual Console Gets Big Push in North America
What's stopping them from releasing all of the Ambassador titles at once? How do they benefit by drip-feeding releases?
Re: First Impressions: Game & Wario
Oops. Fruit=Thief. I just want to call it Fruit for some odd reason.
Re: First Impressions: Game & Wario
You don't even mention Fruit's uncanny similarity to Spyparty?
Re: Nintendo to Offer Triple Layer of Miiverse Moderation
@Assassinated Why don't they just offer the option to limit comments to friends?
Re: Nintendo to Offer Triple Layer of Miiverse Moderation
@CerealKiller528 That's the second time you've made me laugh out loud while reading these comments.
Re: Nintendo to Offer Triple Layer of Miiverse Moderation
@PinkSpider ...They did discuss voice chat in the conference...
