This guy put WAYYYYYY too much stock on Star Fox. Did you actually think it was going to be a holiday AAA off the charts selling blockbuster? It will be an excellent game for sure, but the way this article put it you'd think Star Fox was the next Smash Bros or 3D Mario game.
@Giygas_95 He aware the majority of the reactions are praise and appreciation, and has probably learned to pretty much ignore the vocal minority of whiners.
Why is it no other retailer is having issues getting their Wave 3 ones on time except for Gamestop? Toys R Us, Target, and Best Buy have got theirs last week. The only one I got on time from these jokers is the Shulk one.
Definitely preordering my Robin, Lucina, and Charizard from somebody else next time.
@VeeFlamesNL Mario Kart 8 has the faces of the unreleased DLC characters on the roster, but doesn't allowed you to pick them, and makes a noise similar to the one made in the video when the guy tries to pick Rayman.
Didn't believe it until I saw the video and video of a 3DS version done the same way. This is legit, and pretty much the same way Duck Hunt and Bowser Jr were leaked. And now the video is down. Yep.... it's real.
This is why I stopped messing with Amazon. I already got my Toon Link from Best Buy and the Ike and Shulk are still down for their normal dates, with the order status as closed, meaning it has either shipped or preparing to ship.
I honestly think they are taking more preorders than they can handle, rather than that Nintendo just not giving them enough. It is a limited edition (emphasis on LIMITED) system, and I'm pretty sure they at least know a good range of the amount they will get, yet I'm betting they accept pre orders left and right without considering that number.
Quite possibly the dumbest suggestion ever. The smartphone market is already ridiculously saturated, and with Samsung and Apple having it in a stranglehold, the entry barrier would be ridiculously high. Nintendo already pretty much owns the handheld gaming market with no competition other than the Vita, so why waste that money putting it into a market that is not only already filled to the brim with competitors that have been in the game for years, but a market they have no business being in at all? The Amazon Fire phone is a prime example of a company stepping into a marketing they have no business being in, and failing epically.
People here have said it, but Nintendo's specialty is games, but people don't buy phones for games. That and focusing on games for a phone would cut into and harm the handheld market they have under lock. The idea of them investing into a phone is the epitome of a giant NOPE.
Welp. Good thing I don't have some lifelong grudge against gamestop like the rest of the community does apparently. And even if I did, I'd get over it for just to get the Shulk amiibo.
Oh, and that article thumbnail pic of Shulk is absolutely priceless lol
@Fafnirchaos07 Even if the perception may seem that way, the irony is that the Xbox and Playstation have most of the casuals right now. The people that only buy the yearly sports games, COD games, and Assassin's Creed games, and hardly venture beyond those realms. Yes, they are a different type of casuals than the Wii Sports crowd, but they are far from being considered "hardcore" gamers.
And on another note, I kinda hate the term "hardcore gamer" anyway since people think hardcore means mature rated games, when really those games end up being the easiest for the most part. A 7 year old could handle the combat on Assassin's Creed, but get mauled to death by the secret stages in something like DKC Tropical Freeze.
@Ryu_Niiyama The "Looks like we don't have a choice" line is reference to the line Shulk says in Xenoblade before a battle. But it did sound snarky given the recent leak lol
"As I have said earlier, if you want Bayonetta 2 on PS4 or Xbox One, how about trying to ask Nintendo… If Nintendo doesn’t say yes, it’s not going to happen… While you’re at it, try asking for Mario and Zelda too…” -Kayima
The fact Kayima, director of platinum, equated the probability of it getting ported equal to seeing a Mario or Zelda game get ported, is more than enough to just accept it is on the Wii U to stay. That an Nintendo published it, and considering the publisher decides the platforms of release, there is no way there are giving away a game they singlehandedly funded.

@Kalmaro you play with whatever version it came shipped with.
Re: You'll Be Able To Sacrifice Resolution For Frame Rate In Fire Emblem Warriors On Switch
@Menchi187 Not even. There aren't many PS4 or Xbox games that do 1080 w/ 60fps at the time
Re: Gallery: Nintendo Announces amiibo for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
@helbertpina Then you haven't seen Roy or Ryu's amiibo, because they are just as detailed as this.
Re: These Are Nintendo's Black Friday Hardware And Software Offers
@Spoony_Tech It's for an 8 year old. It's not that huge of a choice. There are 8 year olds still getting PS3s and 360s
Re: The Pokémon Company Sues Fan for Copyright Infringement, Demands $4,000 in Damages
@DracioKoi Nintendo isn't doing anything. The Pokemon Company is a completely separate entity.

@LilC *couldn't care less.
Re: Mighty No. 9 Signature Edition Will Not Be Available For Wii U
All I cared was the Wii U getting physical copies of the game, which has come true. Not really a special edition type of guy, so meh for this new.

Re: Rumour: Rayman Could be Planned as DLC in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS
@Inkling There was. It was actually the first one I saw since it was floating around SmashBoards. It's gone along with the Wii U one now though.

This has gotta be a problem on their end.

Re: Not Everyone is Thrilled That Metroid Prime Trilogy Lands on the Wii U eShop Tomorrow
With the amount people have been jacking up the amiibo prices, I can't say I honestly feel sorry for many of the resellers in this case.
Re: Video: Hacker Allegedly Shows Hidden Duck Hunt amiibo Data in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U
Doesn't really come as much of a surprise when Nintendo already said all the smash characters were getting amiibos.
