You know, considering Spencer's stance on the matter, it might be a good cross-promotional technique for Nintendo and Microsoft to do this. I'd imagine that if such a thing takes off, Microsoft could easily make it so (like Minecraft on Playstation) Nintendo is allowed to use the Banjo licence for new games and re-releases. I'd imagine such a partnership would be a win-win all around, for Nintendo, Microsoft and the fans of the Banjo series.
I'll get the Toad remote, as the colours on the Bowser remote look horrible. In the future, I'd like to see some controllers based on other Nintendo franchises. If a King Dedede controller was to rear it's head, I'd grab it in a heartbeat.
I'm glad it's not coming to Europe. Regardless of quality, any game that is making money off of the work made by other artists and creators that they don't have the licence to use is terrible. If I made a game like this, I'd make it free, or at least get the licence to all the sounds and images taken from other sources. Unless Ninjapig have proof that they DID get the rights, I'm staying away from this game. I'm not going to give it any further attention.
@gatorboi352 How exactly does it show that? The article was talking about possible health risks while playing on the Wii. I fail to see how that ties in to public awareness of the Wii U.
I think Crazy Taxi would work as a comedy tv show with each cab driver interacting with their passengers and each other. However, I think Jet Set Radio would be best suited to this kind of format.
I've played a few matches of For Glory mode on a PAL retail copy and nothing out of the ordinary happened. Either way, I'm going to try and avoid using the online mode for a while until a patch floats on by. Not sure about data management though. Maybe that's fine to use.
What a horrid monstrosity. Pictures stolen from the internet, humour that manages to make things that I feel have the capacity to be funny grating (I personally think that Illuminati Confirmed Videos, when done right, are funny) and gameplay more generic than most app store titles. The good news is that this game may not get released in Europe!
As long as Waluigi Pinball returns, I'll buy the pack. Otherwise, I'd enjoy a kart or two lifted from Double Dash, as the Bullet Blaster(?) and Waluigi Racer are two of my favourite vehicles from the entire series.
I quite like the Marth figure. I've seen some awful official Nintendo figures before, so in my opinion, the Amiibo isn't actually that bad in comparison to the old Mario figures Nintendo released a few years ago.
If it's DLC, then that would essentially be on-disc dlc, as the game has to have the data in the disc in order for the amiibo to unlock. A better thing for the amiibo is if it unlocks an exclusive weapon and outfit for that character. Nothing too important or powerful.
Why are the Mario and Sonic stamps pictures of the characters while the Space Invaders and Pac-Man stamps are game screens? Seems a bit odd. Still cool though.
@T900Kassem The point was to make something that sounds and looks awful? I apologise for the argument, but saying that it's supposed to be terrible doesn't excuse it's quality. I understand why people think it's funny, but I personally don't see the humour with it. It just seems obnoxious from what I've seen.
Well then. I have just found the bottom of the barrel. I literally have nothing good to say about it. It looks awful. It sounds awful and it's a bland endless runner. Nope.
I liked the first advert. Though, I assume by the time those four had booted up their 3DS's, started Smash Bros and played against each other, that slice of pizza would be cold. Shame really.
As someone who owns the Smash demo and used to own Cartoon Network Punch Time Explosion, I can say that I've never encountered such issues while playing, despite my reliance on Smash Attacks. I'm sure that Smash won't break my pad, at least for a long while.
While the game itself isn't too exciting, I will say that the feature of Miiverse Stamps caught me off guard. I didn't know third parties could put stamps in their games.
While I would have liked to post screenshots, it isn't a huge loss. Miiverse on 3DS is rubbish compared to the Wii U version and I've never used the Browser much at all.
Can Konami and Activision work together to release the Arcade, NES and SNES games on Virtual Console, please? Ubisoft worked with Konami to release the original Arcade game on Xbox Live, so why can't Activision?
Some users on another website noticed that Bowser Jr's Up Special has the same animations as Diddy Kong's Up Special. They also noticed that all of the stages are from Brawl, none of the stages are new. The characters that Shulk, Ganondorf and Bowser Jr are fighting are also available in Brawl, with no newcomers such as Mega Man, the Mii Fighters or Pac-Man appearing in any of the fights. Sounds fishy to me. I'm going to wait until the game comes out in Japan before I make assumptions about the full roster.

Re: Gallery: Nintendo Decides That Valentine's Day is Friendship Day
Why didn't the Dedede card say 'I need a valentine to clobber that there Kirby!'?
Re: Live-Action Netflix Series For The Legend of Zelda is Reportedly in Development
Ganon of Thrones.
Re: Weirdness: Drunken Mario and Luigi Unleash Mini Crime Wave on Historic Cambridge City Centre
Well THERE'S an idea for the next Mario game.
Re: Club Nintendo Goes Rewards Crazy With Final Update in North America
I wonder if Europe's Club Nintendo will do a last hurrah with all the most popular products returning? Kirby Triple Deluxe soundtrack, please!
Re: The Legend Of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds Soundtrack Added To European Club Nintendo
@FX102A Masked Dedede's theme tho.
Re: Legend Of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds Soundtrack Added To European Club Nintendo
I'm just hoping they bring back the Kirby Triple Deluxe Soundtrack. That would be tight.
Re: Club Nintendo to Close, With Replacement Loyalty Programme Coming Later in the Year
I guess I'd better use my points cards and buy a ****ton of stuff from the catalog.
Re: New Nintendo Wii Remotes Come in Bowser and Toad Colours
I'll get the Toad remote, as the colours on the Bowser remote look horrible. In the future, I'd like to see some controllers based on other Nintendo franchises. If a King Dedede controller was to rear it's head, I'd grab it in a heartbeat.
Re: Nintendo Download: 15th January (Europe)
Three picks for me:
Adventure Time (Wii U)
Tekken
One Piece (Wii U)
Mostly just replacements for my disc copies.
Might also get Steamworld Dig if I have any money left.
Re: Play-Asia is Taking Orders on This Multitap Mayflash GameCube Controller Adapter for Wii U
If this does actually work like the official adapter, then I think a purchase has just entered my line of sight.
Re: Pixar Movie, Up, is Now Available for 3DS in Japan
Seems nifty. I wonder if Nintendo have more film releases planned? Evil Dead in 3D, anyone?
Re: Nintendo Download: 25th December (Europe)
Duck Hunt for me. If I have any money left over, I might grab Rabbids Land, too.

Re: Sega Looking To Turn Streets Of Rage, Shinobi, Altered Beast And Crazy Taxi Into Movies And TV Shows
I think Crazy Taxi would work as a comedy tv show with each cab driver interacting with their passengers and each other. However, I think Jet Set Radio would be best suited to this kind of format.
Re: UK Retailer GAME Cashes In On Intense amiibo Demand By Hiking Price
Daylight robbery. If this is to pay for that 'Christmas Shopper Simulator' they made, then eton mess is going to hit the fan.
Re: Club Nintendo Now Offering Festive 8-Bit Mario Wrapping Paper in Europe and Australia
I'd honestly just put it on my wall as a big poster. Otherwise, it's essentially useless.
Re: Wii U YouTube Application Receives An Update, But Try Not To Get Too Carried Away
Was an update really needed? It seems a bit too minuscule to warrant the fuss.
Re: South Park Tables Available Soon in Zen Pinball 2 for Wii U
Considering that we don't have Stick of Truth on Wii U, this makes a good alternative. The fact that I love pinball seals the deal.
Re: Super Smash Bros. for Wii U Facing Potential Error Code Nightmare
I've played a few matches of For Glory mode on a PAL retail copy and nothing out of the ordinary happened. Either way, I'm going to try and avoid using the online mode for a while until a patch floats on by. Not sure about data management though. Maybe that's fine to use.
Re: Weirdness: This Back To The Future-Style VR Hoverboard Game Uses The Wii Fit Balance Board
Now it needs a hover-sled mode that makes you use the much-advertised butt controls of Raving Rabbids: TV Party.
Re: Weirdness: A Fox amiibo Placed Rather Well in a Tournament, Crushing Mere Mortals
This is surprising. I would have thought it wouldn't even be eligible for entry at all. I wonder if anyone'll host an amiibo-only tournament?
Re: Weirdness: Super Smash Bros. amiibo Modifications and Game Glitches Emerge
I'd edit a sonic amiibo to have the Beat costume from Project M.
Re: Wii U eShop Title Meme Run Seals Approval To Release This December

Re: Feature: Our Predictions For The Animal Crossing x Mario Kart 8 DLC Pack 2
As long as Waluigi Pinball returns, I'll buy the pack. Otherwise, I'd enjoy a kart or two lifted from Double Dash, as the Bullet Blaster(?) and Waluigi Racer are two of my favourite vehicles from the entire series.
Re: Nintendo Teams Up With Loot Crate To Deliver amiibo Subscription Service
I quite like the Marth figure. I've seen some awful official Nintendo figures before, so in my opinion, the Amiibo isn't actually that bad in comparison to the old Mario figures Nintendo released a few years ago.
Re: Nintendo Reveals 11 amiibo Super Smash Bros. Figures Hitting in Early 2015
I quite like Mega Man and Bowser. Although, if they make Amiibo for Pac-Man and Duck Hunt Duo, I'll be buying them for sure.
Re: Super Smash Bros. for Wii U European Release Date Brought Into November
Great. NOW I HAVE TO DECIDE ON EITHER POKEMON OMEGA RUBY OR SMASH BROS. THIS DECISION IS MUCH MORE DIFFICULT AND CONFUSING THAN INTENDED.
Re: Nintendo Outlines Generous eShop Publication Policies
I'm glad that Nintendo is becoming more open in Europe. This is making me more likely to get into game development.
Re: Masahiro Sakurai Gives a Glimpse of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U Fighter Reveal
Duck Hunt Duo trailer? Sweet!
Re: Link amiibo Compatibility Confirmed for Hyrule Warriors
If it's DLC, then that would essentially be on-disc dlc, as the game has to have the data in the disc in order for the amiibo to unlock. A better thing for the amiibo is if it unlocks an exclusive weapon and outfit for that character. Nothing too important or powerful.
Re: Weirdness: New Range of Irish Stamps Feature Mario, Sonic, and More
Why are the Mario and Sonic stamps pictures of the characters while the Space Invaders and Pac-Man stamps are game screens? Seems a bit odd. Still cool though.
Re: Video: This Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS Launch Advert Will Fire You Up
This trailer is SMASHing.
Re: Exclusive: Masahiro Sakurai on Planned Accidents and New Ways to Play Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS
This was a nice interview. The answer regarding third party characters was the most interesting in my opinion.

Re: Nintendo Direct: New Nintendo 3DS Models Coming to Australia and New Zealand on 21st November
I hope that it's possible to import one. I'd love to have something to make me better at Smash Bros.
EDIT: Also, it would make the main circle pad less likely to break. So that's cool.
Re: Meme Run is Coming to Troll Your Wii U Very Soon
Well then. I have just found the bottom of the barrel. I literally have nothing good to say about it. It looks awful. It sounds awful and it's a bland endless runner. Nope.
Re: Nintendo Unleashes Wacky Super Smash Bros. For Nintendo 3DS Commercials
I liked the first advert. Though, I assume by the time those four had booted up their 3DS's, started Smash Bros and played against each other, that slice of pizza would be cold. Shame really.
Re: Video: Episode One Of Zeldamotion's Link To The Past Animated Series Makes Its Debut
I liked it. I'd watch more episodes every once in a while.
Re: Sonic-Themed Felyne Drag Races into Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate
Felynes! They can really move! Felynes! They've got an attitude! Felynes! They're the fastest things alive! They're the fastest things alive!
Re: Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS Brings Circle Pad Doom in Japan
As someone who owns the Smash demo and used to own Cartoon Network Punch Time Explosion, I can say that I've never encountered such issues while playing, despite my reliance on Smash Attacks. I'm sure that Smash won't break my pad, at least for a long while.
Re: Carbon Fire Studio Launching Frenchy Bird On Wii U eShop

Re: Standard 3DS Consoles Will Have Limited Online Functions When Playing Super Smash Bros.
While I would have liked to post screenshots, it isn't a huge loss. Miiverse on 3DS is rubbish compared to the Wii U version and I've never used the Browser much at all.
Re: Miiverse Update Improves Filtering, Saved Posts and the Web Version's User Profile
Rather dull update. Although the improved filters are cool, I suppose.
Re: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Danger of the Ooze Slicing Up 3DS This Fall
@DESS-M-8 I apologize, but are you referring to Turtles In Time Reshelled? If so, then I do believe you've gotten the two arcade games mixed up.
Re: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Danger of the Ooze Slicing Up 3DS This Fall
Can Konami and Activision work together to release the Arcade, NES and SNES games on Virtual Console, please? Ubisoft worked with Konami to release the original Arcade game on Xbox Live, so why can't Activision?
Re: UK And Australian Pricing For Nintendo's Amiibo Figure Range Is Confirmed
That's pretty good! I'd buy one for £11, that's for sure!
Re: Video: This Japanese Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS Commercial Takes Things Literally
I didn't know the 3DS had technology to launch players of Smash Bros high in the sky. I guess they turned that feature off on the demo I played.
Re: Rumour: Unconfirmed Smash Bros. Footage Supposedly Shows Three New Characters
Some users on another website noticed that Bowser Jr's Up Special has the same animations as Diddy Kong's Up Special. They also noticed that all of the stages are from Brawl, none of the stages are new. The characters that Shulk, Ganondorf and Bowser Jr are fighting are also available in Brawl, with no newcomers such as Mega Man, the Mii Fighters or Pac-Man appearing in any of the fights. Sounds fishy to me. I'm going to wait until the game comes out in Japan before I make assumptions about the full roster.
