Re: Soapbox: ARMS is the New Splatoon for the Nintendo Switch Generation

Due to the nature of the two games I doubt ARMS with be able to come anywhere close to meeting the popularity of Splatoon. Despite that, I'm still excited for it! I got to demo it at PAX, and it is a lot of fun, and if they manage to cram a lot of content in it I'm sure to get a lot of time out of it... but I feel it will still lack Splatoon's inherent replayability.

@Mrclaycoat Wii U only owners aren't plentiful enough that having a single game to focus on would catapult it's exposure like this. Most of the online presence is from sites that cover all Video Games, rather than just Nintendo ones.

Regardless of the perception of competition (for most people the Xbox and Playstation games still compete for their attention), it got a huge number of "Best of Show" awards, and not simply "Best Wii U Game". This is a case of it genuinely exciting people far more than the other showings.

Re: Guide: Unlocking Building Items And More In Super Mario Maker v1.01

@bezerker99
Mario Maker, unlike Animal Crossing, is not based around a daily schedule. Under the previous mode, people who wanted to have a full toolset had to either wait 9 days to get it, or cheat the system. Not everyone has the time to play games every day, so locking the full set of tools behind a time limit seemed obtuse. The sub-world function isn't even unlocked until the last shipment, and I needed that for the first level I tried making. If I had to wait 9 days for it, I'd be pretty steamed. Most people with review copies felt the same. Nintendo responded to a near-universal criticism.

The time limit is still there if you don't want to unlock the items so quickly, but at least now there's a way for people to progressively unlock the tools at a reasonable pace without cheating the system.

Re: Video: The Top Ten Worst Designed Pokémon Ever

Hey Nintendo Life, you misspelled "Diamond & Pearl". Gen 4 to me is absolutey terrible. Killed my enthusasim for the series until Gen 5 came and restored it with all the fresh Pokemon. It's potentially my favorite in terms of Pokemon design.

Re: Nintendo Provides Some Context to 2013's Tomodachi Life Same-Sex Marriage Controversy

@10000mario
Whosever opinion it is, the way I see it is that we ignore enough of the bible in society already, what's a little bit more? Is this the one issue the bible was really adamant about?
I'm not big on the bible but from what I know I don't think so.

Regarding whether or not they have the "right" answer?
I know they have the answer that is more open to the rights of humanity. That's enough for me to understand their points.
Note I don't necessarily agree that Same-Sex marriage should have been implemented here; as it's plain to see people are too fragmented currently.
But I put more stock in the ideas developed from one's life and experiences rather than an opinion derivative of a book that's essentially just one big "maybe".

Re: Video: This IronFall Tech Demo is Rather Impressive

Am I the only one who thinks this looks kinda dull?

I mean, yeah yeah, its got the power, hooray!
But... Is it just gonna be a 3rd-person cover based shooter?

I don't care how it looks, I don't want a cover shooter. If its gonna look good, it can be unique too, right?

I'm not gonna condemn it right now or anything (because you known its just early stuff), but just because the 3DS doesn't get many 3rd person shooters doesn't mean making a bland one will fill the void.
