TruthBeTold

Can you play online with friends in the demo?

@Priceless_Spork He got a medal taken away because a teammate of his was caught cheating during a relay he was a part of. Had nothing to do with him, iirc.

I'm continually amazed at the things some of the people here get #madonline about. Wouldn't have expected this to be one of them, but here we are.

@majorgamer - That's probably right. Seeing a lot of "Didn't hear about this situation until an hour ago, but here's my opinion" type stuff

@PK_Boss11 I'm not saying Nintendo has to do this, or even saying that everyone here who disagrees with the petition is wrong. It's just the way it's being said (not by you from what I've seen, though). I've just read a lot of thoughtless, callous words on this page.

Y'all just don't get. And y'all never do. I'm done, enjoy complaining about E3 on here for the next couple weeks.

@Drezus Maybe, but we are about 2 years too late for that at this point.

They're coming for Bayonetta with those nerfs. Also, for anyone wondering why the replays get trashed with a new update, the replays aren't saving the video of the match just the button presses and some other metadata. So if knockback, fall speed, and values like that are changed, the replay won't come out correctly and it could bug out pretty good.

@DarkKirby The actual reason is that fair or not Capcom does not believe that an Ace Attorney game not completely centering around Phoenix Wright will do well in the West after tepid responses to both Apollo Justice and Ace Attorney Investigations. It's the reason why Investigations 2 was also never localized.

@FierceRagnar There is a distinct difference between a game that people make a lot of meme references too (Splatoon) and a game that is in and of itself a meme or trying to be meme-y (Meme Run).

@VanillaLake - Don't know where you are located but if you are in the US and have a nearby Target they should have a demo!

@gatorboi352 I'm 100% convinced if they released this game at launch, the gamepad supported multi-touch, and this game supported that feature you would still nitpick something. It's a great game that's coming out now, It can't utilize functions the WiiU doesn't have and it can't go back and time and be released an earlier.

@Bowser908 Is this a game you like?

There are some people that will only experience the game on the WiiU. This will extend the audience of the game and bring more people into recognition with the brand name and with the studio that produces it, which can only be a good thing for this studio in the future. As a fan of the game, wishing for a cancellation is counter-intuitive.

@PaperMario64 Good comment!

Also, for the two sets of 44 Dire Hit to access the minigame- couldn't you put one sets of 99 Dire Hit and then deposit one more so there are two groups of Dire Hit, then withdraw 55 from the first group and add 43 to the second? That way you only need 100 dire hit instead of 198. Would that not work?

Can someone explain to me how Nintendo's partnership differs from the other Youtube gaming networks that LP channels must be a part of that take money? They all have about the same profit share. Including the one that PewDiePie is a part of....?

@Kyranosaurus I don't think it's fair to peg the Smash Community with this comment section. If I am being honest, comments like these are on almost every Nintendolife article.

@ikki5 I don't hear someone blaming consumers. I hear someone who is incredibly devoted to producing the best product he can. In this quote is directly thanking the consumer.

Yeah we all work our jobs, but if anyone who works the way Sakurai does is definitely susceptible to burnout. He makes great products and we shouldn't be so eager to push him out the door because he admitted he is human.

@spongebob16 Orrrrrrr Master Core is the name of the boss where the morse code happens.

@KFlow325 Male and Female Robin are the same playable character but represent two entirely different people, really. Same with PacMan (as the female would be his wife Mrs. PacMan instead). They aren't "opting in" for transgender characters as much as including several characters with multiple incarnations.

@ShadJV No. There was another picture somewhere in the leak that had the padlock on all-star mode I believe, which means not all the characters are unlocked. I haven't seen this leak pic with the pad lock, but that is how the smash community took yesterday's pic of the day.

@Ralek85 I get it, but to say Sony and Microsoft would have fixed it can't be proven true or not. The development department is different than the console designers and managers. Nintendo has had some weird set in their way stuff, but it's not quite as simple as that.

@minotaurgamer and all-
There has been a lot of negativity surrounding this console. A lot. It is easy, even as a fan, to get to the point where you are hard pressed to believe the console will truly succeed. Gaming outlets largely discredit it. Then Nintendo has a great showing at E3 and sites, large, widely-syndicated sites, that once overlooked and ignored (even sometimes mocked) the WiiU are starting to recognize it as an emerging successful console. If you like the website or not, this is reason to be happy. It's an opportunity to recognize the WiiU's success, something we haven't had the chance to do yet. Why waste it?

I have a theory that there will be random, weird, negative comments on EVERY SINGLE Nintendolife article, no matter the subject or how benign. Someday that theory may be proven wrong, but today is not that day.

Also, @Ralek85 - While a seemingly obvious design choice being left out is reason enough to be frustrated, that has way more to do with the specific game than it does with the console as a whole.

It's kind of frustrating that people are kind of mocking that this is even an issue at all when there is deeper questions at hand than the obvious "Does it really matter what Pokeball it came out off." This is just some random guy on the scene who has seen a little success, this is Ray Rizzo. He has won Worlds 3 TIMES. He is widely considered the best in the format. No the stats weren't changed, and no he didn't win. But he made it very deep in this tournament. Maybe he was just doing it to save time, but he went out of the games normal means to do so, giving him an advantage over players who aren't willing to do it the right way. With the easy of EV training in X and Y you think that Nintendo will make IVs earlier in the future. But until then, it is the long, clunky, annoying route, or hacking. Plain and simple.

I imagine that the NA version will come out Th. with the rest of the new E-shop updates for the week.

Does anyone know about what time Central time the WiiU E-Shop updates? Pokemon Rumble U is still a future title for me and I can't purchase.

I agree with the stance above that the statement meant something along the lines of adding 20 characters to this game is hard enough, yet we are expected to and push ourselves to do more. Obviously 20 characters isn't the max for a Smash Bros. game because that number has been surpassed in a majority of the series.

I haven't kept to much of a pulse on the 3DS VC. Are MM 1-5 also there? If so I may have to get all six on my 3DS

Many in this conversation are also using Apple and Sony using FoxConn as an excuse. While this article mentions FoxConn, that's not what it's about. It's about the slave labor in the Congo. The reason why Nintendo scored at the bottom, with a score of 0, is because they refused to respond to the Enough campaign's survey. I really do hope that they can resolve this. I hate that buying a Nintendo console is indirectly supporting slave labor . This is a serious issue and I'm glad people are clamoring enough to create a change here.

A lot of what he said was honest truth, some of what he said I don't agree with. But he is an analyst. His job is to look at past, present, and future trends in the major gaming companies. Many of his statements that I and many others disagree with him on are about the future. No one can know it, so really I feel like I just disagree because I hope, and kind of have evidence to believe, those things won't / shouldn't happen (i.e. Nintendo should go handheld only). But I don't hate him. He is trying to do his job the best way he knows how to do it. He isn't trying to antagonize Nintendo or its fans.

I have an honest question: With the kind of power that the PS4 is toting and the fact that the NextBox will be trying to compete with it, is there really anyway that they can price those consoles near or under $350?

EDIT: Also, 3DS took off after the price cut, sure, but the Mario games that came out had a huge effect on it too. The Gamecube was not able to move as many consoles with AAA titles alone. Once we get some more AAA titles for the WiiU (especially one's with Mario in the title. It doesn't really matter how he is involved, his name just has to be in the title in some capacity) to really start making statements. To be honest, I feel like everything else is just speculation until then.

Someone says something bad about Nintendo- Receives tons of criticism.

I don't think he's saying graphics/power doesn't matter, just that it won't move consoles. And we've seen that, too. But we have seen that on both sides. The 3DS (innovation) at launch did poorly, the Vita (power) at launch did poorly. I have come to the conclusion that only ONE thing moves consoles and that is the library the console has. The Wii seems like it was a special exception, a case where the advertising played the biggest role. But you can still argue that many people bought the console because of the Nintendo franchises they knew would be represented.

I see no problem with this projection and think that after the last system launch not going as well as they hoped, they will be swinging out of the gate. That usually turns out REALLY good for us

I think the problem stems almost entirely by how one defines "gamer". I think if they had (and I know this isn't the point, but whatever) a guy who wasn't Nintendo's definition of a gamer do an advert in this campaign, it would alleviate a lot of the problems as well.

Everyone is saying it's sexist to assume girls aren't gamers. Why is it NOT sexist to assume guys are? And what do we mean by gamer?

Even in these comments you can see that people here hold a thousand different definitions to what that term means. And that is fine, obviously! But that is what is causing a lot of the issues with this campaign.

Also, what if Nintendo took out the whole young girl part of this and changed into something else entirely. What if they made a campaign that shows they do not define, even their core, solely by the type of media they consume. What if the campaign was aimed at saying, "We know that even our most hardcore fans are multi-dimensional, and you know what, we really love that about them." THAT would be a cool campaign!

Is it sad I already have a countdown for Paper Mario on my phone now? 90 days!

November 11th! Wooo for Sticker Star

Is there any clue on release dates outside of Japan?

I do think, however, that Nintendo still has some surprises they have not yet revealed.

I think the best way to describe it was solid, but lacking the surprise factor that make these presentations memorable. Not every conference Nintendo has will be the best. They also said that hey learned from the 3DS launch failure, so I'm sure we will hear more about new games very soon. It seemed today was about showing off a few awesome looking games, but mostly showing everyone that Nintendo can still be Nintendo while catching up in the HD and Network areas of gaming.

Also, the weakest part must have been the ending. Easy way to tell? People's impressions are getting better as the day goes on, the final impression just kind of hurt their initial view of the presentation as a whole.

Dang! It's only 95 hours away! Hoping to be able to watch part of it.

EDIT: This can also be used as a useful countdown! Just click the vid to see how much times is left before it starts!

Mario Tennis Open comes out here on Sunday! So that, then. And before that probably Mario Party 9, Sunshine, Mario Kart 7, Brawl, stuff like that (not all of those, those just sound fun to play right now )

The thing I love about this website is that they take there scoring policy seriously. As such, a 7 means that its a pretty darn good game, even if it does have a few flaws. I also understand that not too many people are tennis fanatics like me, so that obviously helps this game appeal to me . Thanks for the review!

It's kinda like digital downloads of CDs. I mean iTunes doesn't offer albums at that much cheaper than the retail version. But, as people have mentioned, there is something about owning a physical copy. We also don't want to put game sellers in a bind, as that wouldn't help Nintendo's current financial....situation. I think leaving it at the same price or just a FEW dollars cheaper is absolutely optimum. Also, about the data, I heard someone say something like 50 % of 3DS games are less than 512 mb? So it shouldn't be too big of a problem. And since storage size is such a foreseeable issue, I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo made some bigger SD cards and advertised them with the advertisement of the new retail digital downloads. Or something like that. Anyway, this is awesome. Pretty stoked. Nintendo is like a great athlete, when they take a hit, they return stronger than before.
