Pikmin 3 is probably the best.

@ChuJelly So ahead of themselves that they didn't have time to patch the game. Coincidentally, they are already announcing "updates".

@GrailUK "Why are they blown away by how successful it was? They knew what IP they were plagiarising! I bloody hate false modesty".

I thought exactly the same thing, although I believe them when they say that they love Pokemon.

@HappyMaskedGuy "who needs freedom of speech anyway, it just offends people who don't like to think outside of their own middling agreeability. Let's make a rule- only say good things about everything. No opinions please".

Yes, I still can't believe that somebody is requesting me to go elsewhere because my opinion is not always the same as theirs or Nintendo's.

I am going to talk to Thomas Whitehead and company and kindly ask them to change the Community Rules from this "We do allow members to debate and voice their own opinions," to that "Let's make a rule- only say good things about everything. No opinions please."

@Rin-go My favourite part of your post: "I say, like what you like, dislike what you dislike, but there is no reason to make life harder for anyone". True.

If they would be right here they would be right elsewhere. If some people is "right" here and "wrong" elsewhere they aren't right. I believe there are good and bad things about Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft and almost everything, and I say the same on every website. If people don't agree, it's fine, but they should let me have my opinion and don't be so obsessed with the people they don't agree with. I say, let people be!

@HappyMaskedGuy #370 Yep, but you know what, Nintendo knows better than ourselves what we want: New Super Mario Bros. 2, Amiibo Festival, Metroid Prime Federation Force, Mario Party Destruction, Star Fox 64 Remake Special Motion Gimmick Edition, The End of Paper Mario... All those are the better options. So, we shouldn't have an opinion because even though we were there since the 90s we don't have a clue about what games are good and what games we want. We shouldn't be allowed to think and to reflect on this. We should just shut up and buy whatever rubbish comes our way.

@Einherjar "the recent takedown of the Nintendo Power archives by Nintendo"

I agree, there is no excuse for doing that, it's absolutely lamentable that Nintendo did that and it doesn't make any sense. Next, they are coming into your room and force you to destroy the Mario (or Link) posters because they own the copyright.

@MakeMyBiscuit I totally agree and that applies to other games like Donkey Kong '94.

@-DEMISE- Believe it or not, there're also people that like me in here and I am happy in here, so I don't see why I should go elsewhere, is that what you really mean.

@Tasuki Yep. I guess so. At the end of the day, they are just companies and we are just gamers. There are good things about Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony and there are bad things about Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony. It's absolutely obvious but some people won't ever admit the whole truth, the reality. They will only accept part of it and they will be honest only where it's easier to be honest.

@Jedi_jem It's okay but...

@-DEMISE- But I'm a critical person and I believe the comments section is to say my honest opinion*, but do not worry, it's not always negative. Okay, now say whatever you want because I'm going to sleep... And you broke my heart anyway when you said you have a wife. Good night.

@Utena-mobile Nope, I bet he's shy in real life, he is just overacting.

@Utena-mobile LOL Alex overacts way too much when doing his videos (and I also said that on the comments once). It makes me nervous.

@Utena-mobile I agree, I mentioned @Tasuki as a great guy earlier, I don't know the other guy though. I know some people are "afraid" of Sammy, "afraid" is not the word because he certainly doesn't look like a guy that would scare anybody (or anything), but you know what I mean, it's like people don't want him to annoy them so they don't say what they're really thinking. I'm not "afraid" of Sammy, I already told him he's not doing things right and I'm sure he must know it himself, because it's obvious that he's making PushSquare a very cheap Sony's propaganda magazine and it's sad because there are great people there.

@-DEMISE- If you check my profile you'll see that I have the three consoles. Actually, I never had a PlayStation or Xbox until this generation, but I've been a Nintendo fan all my life. If you check my NNID you could find out on Miiverse that I own many games for Wii U and 3DS. I am a genuine person, I wouldn't waste my time signing up to be a troll about things I don't know. It's just silly, I know some people do it but for me it would be a waste of time. If you check my comments history you'll find out that my knowledge about games is huge and there are many Nintendo games I have praised. I complain because I care, if I didn't care I would waste my time on complaining, I would just ignore Nintendo and anything related to it.

@Utena-mobile Too bad, @-DEMISE- lives in America and I live in Europe, but who knows...

By the way, the message I can't decipher is #318.

@-DEMISE- LOL I am a lovely guy in person, but I know I can sound a bit too straightforward here.

@Utena-mobile I can't decipher your message #318. What do you mean?

Truth is, I see some people criticising Sony only on Nintendo Life and the same people criticising Nintendo only on PushSquare, like I mean, they aren't being themselves on both sites. It annoys me to be the only one being myself on both sites. But, to be honest, there is a very nice moderator there who sounds so genuine @Tasuki and more people I can't remember now.

@-DEMISE- Because you always send me messages when I have already forgotten you, and my messages are just replies to yours. I'm not stalking you like you do.

@-DEMISE- You are in love with me, aren't you? You hate me but you can't stop reading me and sending me messages. Your heart is broken indeed.

@nab1 Same here, I believe lower prices means more sales and more money for Nintendo eventually. I re-bought some Wii games for €10, but any for €20.

@majorgamer Yep, you can try to get a French Nintendo 64 if you are really into Nintendo 64. I got mine on eBay. The first French Nintendo 64 model is RGB-ready, so some people hard-mods it to be RGB, then you connect a GameCube (or clone) RGB cable and you get a RGB signal which looks good on a HD screen. Yes, I'm more Nintendo fan than some people think.

@majorgamer One old console I hook up sometimes is my European RGB Nintendo 64 with a RGB cable. I'm also a Super NES (and Nintendo 64 and GameCube) fan.

@JaxonH I never see you criticise Sony on PushSquare like I do. I guess everybody fears Sammy... LOL

@majorgamer Yes, it could have worse controls... Star Fox Zero's controls. Yes, your opinion is as valid as mine, but you seem to deal with controls better than most people, which is good for you. As for the Virtual Console, it started so good this generation with those 20 cents offers and pay a small fee to get the Wii U version, but I don't know why it all went backwards and now you pay different prices on Wii U and 3DS and there is no cross-buy.

@RandomBlue Exactly, I was not making fun of anybody, just replying to false accusations. This all started because I was defending other people's right to have their own opinions without being harassed and called ignorant. I'm always fighting for people being able to be sincere and critical if they want to as long as they are respectful, of course. I'm not rude nor uncivil, I just like stopping unfair attitudes, honestly.

@JaxonH I didn't know your evil side. Anyway, I'm one of the guys that are saying that Nintendo's pricing is expensive because I agree with @Utena-mobile, I see better deals elsewhere (in Europe, at least). To be fair, you have to add to your comparison that Nintendo had almost-cross-buy downloads when Wii U launched but Nintendo went back to the 20th century and removed that so now you have to pay twice while you only pay once on PlayStation4-Vita and Xbox-Windows.

@RandomBlue Yes, you haven't helped at all. Apologies accepted, all I did was try to explain what was happening here but you can see it on your own, and that would probably be better.

@majorgamer I'm happy that you enjoyed the game, but I agree with @MarcelRguez and @nab1 about Metroid Other M. As I said earlier, the gameplay is quite rough because of the 2D-3D gimmick. You could feel that it was not smooth controlling Samus with the D-pad in a 3D environment, and also it was clunky to hold the controller in a different way every time you wanted to aim, plus sometimes the game gets into first person view when it misreads the Wii Remote position. It couldn't have worse controls.

@RandomBlue Now you have proved that @-DEMISE- and you are just the same and won't stop the trolling and flaming. You are the ones quoting me and being disrespectful, I just reply.

@-DEMISE- Another flaming attempt of yours. The difference between you and @JaxonH is that he doesn't insult people so everybody respects him.

@nab1 Yeah, Nintendo has done this a lot of times. Not only the games that you mentioned but Mario Mix Dancing Stage (which is basically Dance Dance Revolution), Donkey Konga series, infamous Star Fox Zero...

Great results: Rare's Star Fox Adventures (if you consider it an adventure game), Retro's Metroid Prime series. And to anybody still thinking I don't approve any modern game: Next Level Games' Luigi's Mansion 2 is lovely (although Federation Force might not be so good).

@Onion, yes, I'm pretty sure that AM2R would sell well on the eShop, so would do GameCube games on Wii U. Funny thing Wii U can natively run (digital) GameCube games, and we already have the GameCube Adapter for Wii U. Nintendo releases Wii downloads but not GameCube downloads for whoever wants them... Weird.

Yes, I think those prices that @Caryslan mentioned are inflated but I didn't want to check one by one.

@Caryslan remember that NES roms are digital downloads that are a few megabytes big and the games are 30 years old! It's not the same as original physical cartridges that have additional value. Animal Crossing included over 10 free NES games, Sega's collections include over 30... Nintendo's pricing is archaic compared to any other digital store, but you and the other guy above are comparing it to collector's cartridges and cinema tickets.

@Utena-mobile LOL @ so you don't forgive me?

@nab1 "That some gamers were able to get around Other M controls does not make the controls good, it just means those gamers are good and/or patient enough to master them".

True, and it applies to Star Fox Zero as well. Some people even play blindfolded, does it make visuals optional?

@MarcelRguez Yeah, also, there is evidence that some of these apologists use multi-account to support "each other" (so much evidence that one of them was banned). Also, they say they want peace but they are just waiting the right moment to attack or flame the thread.

@Syrek24 I do know you and you have a history of flaming so I'm not surprised. I won't play your games now, we both know what you have done. The hypocrite and rude is you, I'm pretty honest and respectful.

@RandomBlue Oh my god, you're a real flamer, aren't you?

@Onion Your words make me want to play AM2R even more! I probably will. And yeah, I couldn't agree more. Paper Mario The Thousand-year Door is my favourite Paper Mario game, and not only because recent installments have been disappointing, I loved it since the beginning, one of the great GameCube games.

@Utena-mobile Oh, I was hoping that you only liked the cutscenes but if it was your first Metroid game then I can forgive you (just joking). Well, as Onion, I also respect your opinion, but it's true what he says, most fans were disappointed. I particularly disliked the 2D-3D mix which I think was a gimmick and the gameplay was quite rough because of that.

@RandomBlue I don't know you, I think we have never argued. By the way, why are you using my arguments like they are yours? Anyway, believe me when I say I'm fine with people disagreeing with me and check my comments history if you are that concerned about me, but please stop with the false accusations already, I'm getting tired. Of course, I think it's unfair what you just did and you have confirmed that your intentions were not good by manipulating my comments once again and repeating the parts that make poor @-DEMISE look like a victim. Poor guy, he was only insulting people, I should have been more understanding. You are right.

@RandomBlue You are being rude and uncivil by repeatedly calling me that (like four times in a row now) JUST because I said that probably he calls everybody ignorant because that's what he thinks of himself in the end. You are the one that should chill out now, I'm starting to think your intentions are not really good. After all, the thread is peaceful at the moment, don't ruin it now by repeating how rude and uncivil I or whoever is.

@Utena-mobile The thing I hated the most about Other M is the gameplay, you probably loved the cut-scenes, didn't you?

@Onion True, which reminds me of other questionable decisions of Nintendo like those made about recent Star Fox, Animal Crossing and Paper Mario installments, among others. And yeah, people love remakes when they are well done, and they can be better than more recent games. People will pay for them as long as they are good. Also, Nintendo is used to working with external developers so why they don't choose the right ones or perhaps give them the right ideas for a change?

@RandomBlue I'm perfectly fine with people not agreeing with me, I just happened to reply to bad comments, most of them were not even addressed to me. You are overreacting to what is a mere explanation, I guess this is what happens when you haven't read the whole story, you quickly jumped to wrong conclusions (and even called me bad names) just because I replied to you.

@RandomBlue I think you're wrong, mate. Perhaps if he didn't call everybody else ignorant with poor reasoning I wouldn't have that perception. This morning I barely replied to him on the other thread but this afternoon I had more time to explain why I think that's a poor way of getting attention. Guess you didn't get it right, but I have been more polite than he deserved and probably expected.

@TruthfulVoice "Christ; the only thing they've done to "celebrate" the 30th anniversary of the brand is to shut this down".

@RandomBlue I wasn't uncivil and rude, those are not words I used, I'm just trying to explain what happened here and what adjectives were used first (here and earlier this morning).

@RandomBlue To be honest, there's just one user that started calling everybody else ignorant and insecure, probably mirroring his own complex.

@Onion And don't forget about Metroid Other M which I personally disliked.

@-DEMISE- You are right, you definitely don't know me.
