Come on. I can see what Nintendo means, but still. Do they need the money? Their promotion of the games they play only could help game sales which pays Nintendo that way.
I was unsure if this was Telltale's games on disc, so I would've checked. And if I'm glad I decided to check now because this sucks. Activision is terrible to release this shameful cash-in.
@MickeyTheGreat It's not the most accurate (at least it's screw-ups are generally funny), but hey, it's innovative. Motion control also isn't new, but at least Kinect changed its method unlike the PS Move + added voice controls, which are pretty cool. In that way, it's more innovative. Cool first effort by Microsoft.
@SkywardLink98 I think they're Vita's from the size (I have the magazine this is quoted from & the screenshots are huge). I'm sure 3DS looks great too.
@DestinyMan Exactly. This kind of joke won't be like "Hey. There's a Mario thing in the road." It will be more like "Like in Boston! Don't open it!" Very bad timing.
Nice to see a new Zelda game, but why can't this have The Wind Waker or Twilight Princess's art style? It doesn't look very good like the other Zelda games I mentioned.
@TechnoEA Ah, the reply button's back. Nice. It was gone for a while. On the contrary, I can actually agree on some points they had. Sony's Vita memory cards are overpriced, & it has less games than the 3DS does right now. Hopefully Sony can fix the latter of those issues at least. That's why the Vita's so far behind.
@TechnoEA
Are you replying to me? And if you are, just to clarify, I wasn't bashing them. They have some good games, like Infamous that make a PS3 tempting to me, though I'm yet to get one. Try & be more clear.
Edit: Though it does seem like you're replying to the other guy. By the way, if that sounded like I was annoyed I wasn't.
The recommendations make sense, but no 360 advertising & not carrying the 3DS & Wii U are too far. I could see product recommendations, but this much makes me suspicious. Does Sony pay for this much advertising or something? Whenever I see 3DS game trailers on YouTube, Sony always markets to me. If they are, they're sure tenacious. That or Nintendo got on Amazon's bad side somehow.
@Drobotic That's pretty far, but man, Deep Silver sucks. That's a huge lie. Just come clean. Say "we just don't want to invest in Wii U until its sales pick up." Apparently they're too embarrassed to say that. It just makes them look worse.
Hasn't there been new info lately for this? I mean, E3 is where all the big detail are released, but I want to see some sort of new announcement for this before then.
@JuanitoShet Wii & 3DS can't run Minecraft. Wii might run Pocket Edition (might have to be retail due to size limits) & 3DS definitely should be able to. Not PC though.
Wow PETA, it's fake. Plus, it's showing history like it is, should they censor everything out? PETA is a joke (especially considering they never object to the violent assassinations of humans in Assassin's Creed). I care for animals, but they even make a deal out of Pokemon. We all know it's wrong, and I'm against it in real life, but what's the point in censoring out everything? They need to focus their efforts on real whaling, but it seems they'd rather do another publicity stunt instead, letting the real issue be ignored. Just stick to your real mission PETA. You make animal lovers look bad.
@FarukoSH Wrong. It costs less on Xbox. But the Xbox, despite having promise at first, is staring to seem scaled down from PC. Nowhere near the degree phones are, but still. It's the Xbox 360, come on.
I've got it on my 360, and while it's great, the Wii U would probably run it better. The Xbox's RAM constraints makes the worlds way smaller than PC, and most annoyingly, we're getting a scaled down version of the End now. The Wii U would at least have a full End, and potentially be capable of using the SSD for virtual memory for infinite worlds. Now we'll never know. I do know about the contract, but even when it expires? That stinks. Also, if Mojang reads this, can they get 4J to bug fix the 360 Edition? I like it, but it still has issues. Ghasts spawn several times faster than you can kill them (literally), some creepers on rare occasion have double health (those also survive their explosions, what's with that?), my save data has issues, etc.
Edit: Oh, and mooshrooms seem to despawn outside of mushroom biomes after a few minutes, making them impossible to farm.
I liked most of the voice acting in Kid Icarus: Uprising. A couple characters I didn't like, but I liked Pit & especially Dark Pit. I never knew much about voice acting before either. Cool interview.

@KodyWB-98 Reason I'm skipping this & RE: Revelations on my 360. I already have them on another system, & too many good games are coming out already.

@sweetiepiejonus I remember that in one of last year's issues I think. It was a nice end to that issue.

Link should ask for a reward after saving Zelda at the end of OoT.

Re: Violent Video Games Blamed for Knife Attack in Scotland
@FOURSIDE_BOY Just what certain people need to hear. I doubt I could sum it up better myself.
Re: Violent Video Games Blamed for Knife Attack in Scotland
@klautrec Exactly. If that kid is anything like that, he has issues. And his parents probably don't care either.
Re: Violent Video Games Blamed for Knife Attack in Scotland
What the officer's message is: It's not the father or the child's fault for overreacting - it's the game. Seriously, stop finding scapegoats.

Re: First Impressions: The Legend of Zelda 3DS
It's not bad, but I was kinda hoping for something a little new. More expansive than this. Oh well. If there's a demo I'll give this a shot.

Re: EA Announcing More FIFA 14 News Tomorrow
Hopefully after last year was a re-hash on the 3DS, next year is something new.

Miiverse? Flipnote Studio 3D details? YouTube on 3DS?

Re: Hardware Review: 3DS Circle Pad Pro XL
The one on my 3DS is fine, but on such a big system, they should've fit a second analog stick in the 3DS XL from the start. A CPP XL must be so big.

Re: Miyamoto: Mobile Competition Actually Helps Wii U
Good. I'll get a Wii U sometime in the near future, so this is great.
Re: Minecraft is Just As Likely To Appear on Wii U as Any Other Platform
Xbox works well enough but off-screen play, having more RAM, better tech specs, etc. could make Wii U run a more promising version of Minecraft.
