yeaaaah!!!! I love Moray Towers! definitely glad that's our last splatfest stage. (^_^ )/

This is going to be the hardest Splatoon fest to decide. I like both of them and don't want to choose one over the other....

but I guess I'll go with Team Marie. (T_T )

I try to avoid downloading games when I can get a physical copy...

but I did pick up 7th Dragon. I've been looking forward to this game for a long time and I'm excited to play it. (^_^ )

oh, and I don't care if it doesn't have 3d. Fun/story > 3D

oh boy. Reggie. Just who I wanted to see. (-. - )

actually, I have no problem with Reggie, I actually like him a lot. But NoA isn't exactly my favorite publisher right now.

@Kirk regardless of how it was discovered, it WAS discovered, and it HAS negatively affected the company and their reputation.

Also, I would really appreciate it if you responded with a comment instead of stealth editing your previous statements.
(--_-- )

But like I said in my previous comment, if you don't want to see it that way than it's on you.
Anyways, I'm going to go and read some other articles. I don't live in Singapore, and I'm not personally affected by this, so I'm going to stop caring.

@Kirk
If you don't want to see the letter that 99.co put out or the apology Sonny Truyen wrote as PR damage control that's on you. I read this article and the link and I'm seeing a company that is trying to salvage their reputation while dealing with the social and racial fallout of one of their (former) employees angry comments.

@Kirk I don't have to. It's right there in the article and in the link.

"As you could see in the same forum threads, a reckless act of insult by one individual has provoked the anger of hundreds – not just towards him as an individual, but also inspired categorical attacks on race and nationalities."
-99.co

"I've parted ways with 99.co and would appreciate it if everyone could stop the witch hunt there and leave them alone, bombarding them with threats isn't helping."
-Sonny Truyen

wow. People need to catch up with the modern world. Social media is NOT private, nor is it inherently meant to be private. That's what avatars and screen names are for.
Have something controversial or problematic to say? Say it under an avatar.

Considering how his comments negatively affected the reputation of his company and damaged their clients' confidence, they were in their right to fire him.

Unless he controls that temper of his, he'll find that the only places willing to hire him are fast food restaurants and retail chains (unless he starts bad mouthing them too).

yessss!!! Protect Me Knight is such a fun game. I can't wait to play the sequel, especially since it looks better than Protect Me Knight in every single way.

(^_^ ) day 1

I would give just about anything to see Nintendo of America's reaction to the fanbase, the developer's disappointment, and the upcoming "de-censor" patch. Especially that last one.

Do you think Nintendo Treehouse regrets their decisions?
(o_O )

@TJF588 I know. It's enough to make you cry. (T_T )

@Zach777 I'm torn between admiration and disgust towards you because of that comment.

it did make me laugh though. (^_^ )

@CharlieSmile
huh. you must not play any ds games on your 3ds either. Shame, because there's some really good games out there that don't have 3d. Oh well.
┐(￣ヮ￣)┌

@Damo @Koranos49 OMG!! well, then count me in. (^_^ )

well, for the real thing. not this knock off.

I'm going to be very disappointed if the New 3ds ends up having a larger collection of SNES games than the Wii U. How come we haven't had Final Fantasy III or Chrono Trigger yet?

Also, how come the 64 VC on Wii U looks so dark compared to the Wii VC? *sigh

What happened with Star Fox? (o_O )

@Kirk wouldn't Nintendo have to re-license all of the GBA advance games all over again? I imagine it would be a huge headache and not worth the time and effort.

cool. hope it's region free. (-. - )

even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

(o_O )

@Snow-Dust oh yeah!! (--. — )

well Navi was all Hey Look!! Hey Listen!! Link!! I'm going to repeat that thing that person just said, in case you weren't paying attention and just smashing A!!!! Heeeeeeeeey!!

( ~_^) Now Tatl, she's a companion worth having.

@Snow-Dust They're both annoying but at least Midna doesn't break your immersion.

Maaaaster!! Your batteries are almost dead! Maaaaster! You've been playing too long! Maaaaster! I'm going to repeat that thing that person just said, in case you weren't paying attention and just smashing A!!!

ewww, no. I was really excited for Star Fox (partly because there's very little going on with the Wii U this year) but after watching a few lets plays I'm writing this game off completely.

This game does. not. look. fun. to play for me. Imo, controls should be so fluid and intuitive, that you forget you're holding a controller. Kind of hard to do when the game keeps forcing you to go between the two. Lame. (T-T )

how come the Wii U's version is so dark? Nintendo has always prided themselves with quality work, but the Wii U still has a terrible N64 emulator. (o_O )

I have Ocarina of Time on both Wii U and Wii and can go back and forth pretty easily and the Wii version is way better. Sorry Nintendo. I want to buy this, but not until you fix your 64 VC games. Hopefully the NX won't have the same issue.

Miis are kind of boring. I've made a few that I've liked but for the most part, there's only so much you can do with them. They're too deformed to look cool, but too big to look cute. They're in this middle spot that is kind of "blegh".

They're kind of under-utilized, but I prefer Xbox Avatars (and I really liked Playstation Home's Avatars, although that is now long dead).

@SLIGEACH_EIRE

Reggie used to be cool. I remember when he first came out and he was all "I'm about taking names and kicking a**".

But Nintendo Tree House has sort of killed all of his thunder.
(o_O ) Now, no one cares.

lol. That was funny. I actually laughed at a few of the jokes.

Izzy is my favorite. He's a classy plant.
btw, my favorite power ups are:

5) Invincibility Star - a lot of Mario games
4) Catsuit from Mario 3d World
3) Trophy Assist in Smash Bros
2) Blue Shell with Mario Kart
1) 1-up mushroom - does this count as a power-up?

wow!! so this is like a reboot of Zelda's gameplay and taking it back to its original core NES title.

With that game, you had an open world, could finish the game without getting all of the items or beating all of the dungeons, and it was set in a post-apocalyptic Hyrule, with everything in ruins and the few people around living in caves etc.

I'm really excited. (^_^ )

VR can go one of two ways. It's either a super expensive fad, or it somehow becomes miraculously affordable for the average gamer AND gets a must-have game and really takes off.

I think it will be a fad. Just ask the Kinect, which was once touted as "the fastest selling consumer electronic" to ever exist!

meh. I'm going to use my pro controller instead.

@YeshaYahu5417
lol. I was about to say the same thing. There are quite a few games that have broken 2 million, and this game is not only going to be an NX launch title, but it's also a ZELDA title.

The bigger news would be if it somehow made under 2 million.

@Zoriam
So what kind of comments do belong here? I'm American, so I'm not going to bother saying anything about a subject (Brexit) I know almost nothing about.

But this article is about financial news that has been directly affected by a highly-charged political issue, and it's on the "internet." And most of the readers here are probably European. I'm sure Nintendolife would rather we not talk about politics, but the article practically invites us to.

@MitchVogel well, tbh, I haven't played the demo yet. (-. - )

But you know how sometimes there's something about a game that hits all the right buttons? That's what I'm getting here. I like the art style a lot, and it seems like a fun (maybe a little cheesy) jrpg, and I even like the in-game character models, and combat system. (^_^ )

does this mean more metroid? I hope this means more metroid.
(^_^ )

nice!!! I'm getting this game. (^_^ )
already have it pre-ordered and everything.

hmmm.... I'm kind of disappointed by all the drama. So, I'm wondering how Nintendo will respond to this (if at all)? Would be curious to see....
(^_^ )

well, I guess it was good for drawing on miiverse, and I love miiverse....

I didn't like it. It felt big and too heavy and with the exception of Splatoon, always went with my regular controllers.

but I don't like the pro controller either. I've used a ps4 and xbone controller and the pro feels really cheap and plasticky in comparison. Also I have tiny hands.

My controller of choice for my Wii U is Power A's micro controller.
(o_o )

Trust me, I won't miss the Gamepad.

@Squashy "I hope very much that it exceeds their sales expectations because Nintendo and Atlus deserve to be rewarded for being brave."

Yes, yes they do. Nintendo of America on the other hand deserves a stern lecture.

I kind of like the movement animation. It looks slower and more floaty than other platformers, but Symphony of the Night is also slower and more floaty than other platformers. I think it lends itself well to a more methodical plan of attack rather than twitchy reflexes. But whatever way they go, I am really looking forward to this game. (^_^ )/

I'm an early owl. which means I have really bad bags under my eyes, and tend to fall asleep easily during long bus rides and church services.

@Spanjard
seriously? (--_-- )

@CharlieSmile

♪(ﾟ▽^*)ﾉ⌒☆
She's awesome! If I could draw just a fraction like she does, I would be very happy indeed (but all of my "how to draw fashion" books have taught me squat).

Well, duh. (O.O )/

Nintendo doesn't care about marketing in the U.S. (or UK) as much as we think they do. Nintendo of America and Nintendo of Europe are in charge of those places. Nintendo is Japanese. If they're going to reveal anything "secret" they're going to do it during the Tokyo Game Show...

and that's in September.

Meh. I'm more excited for ReCore than this.

Too bad that Nintendo of America would probably censor Witcher if it ever came to NX. So much for seeing Geralt's (is that his name?) butt. (--_-- )

btw, I don't know if we can actually see his butt in the game. I just imagine we probably can. And if not, then we probably should.

@CharlieSmile
Mari Shimazaki-san created Bayonetta. She's an amazing artist and fashion illustrator. She has a blog and a twitter that I would link to but that's against the NintendoLife rules.

She also came up with the idea of Bayonetta's hair making up her clothes, and when she does an attack she uses that same hair.

Other M is a really good game as long as everyone stops assuming they know what is best for Metroid. It was my first, and since then I've played most of the other 2d Metroid games. Other M remains the most polished and fun of all of them (still need to play the Prime trilogy though).

But, argh!! I need to find a way to get money for this asap. Is play-asia a pretty reliable store? I've never bought anything from them.

OMG!! I love Bayonetta!! The main reason why I bought a Wii U, and I totally main her in Smash.
If I wasn't so short, I would love to cosplay her (err, but I probably wouldn't make her suit out of hair). (o_O )

Bayonetta, Zelda, Metroid and a Final Fantasy game on NX would definitely make me buy the system day 1.

btw, platinum games already talked about a 3ds Bayonetta game (jokingly... or not). It's about Jeanne and her day-to-day life as a substitute teacher (which is her civilian disguise) and all the crazy stuff she has to deal with with fighting demons AND managing a classroom of kids.

@erv Nintendo is doomed. (T_T )
