If Professor Layton is in smash bros, it would become a perfect game.

@Stuffgamer1
I've got nothing against them releasing this game, but if they want to make the Wii U virtual console more appealing, they should release their classics first, and then games like this. Nintendo must get their priorities straight (especially when Playstation's similar service has all or most of their "classics") if Nintendo wants to stay in this race.

Wasn't a video supposed to be released today?

"Quite why this is the case when other parts of the world have been denied an eShop version we're not sure"
I know this stuff happens but I had a good laugh when reading this.

Anyway, I hope NA can download this eventually, and cheaper than the store version, because the last thing I need is another Wii remote.

@WinterWarm
It says third person right in the subtitle.

So... Why is this on the eshop and not something better? Super Mario Kart anyone?

I am ready.

I hope this or something like it comes to the US as a pre-order bonus. I want it so badly and don't want to pay insane prices on eBay.

Hopefully this takes up more of my time than Hey Ice King, because I think I spent six hours or so on that and then there was ABSOLUTELY nothing left to do.

If this turns out to be a cool series like GOW, then Nintendo should team with Vd-Dev, make this a Nintendo exclusive series, Make an AWESOME one for Wii U, and advertise LIKE CRAZY! It could become a huge system seller for Wii U.

Video game movies can be good, if it ties in directly with the plot of the games. Take Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva for example. To understand the end of Miracle Mask, and to understand this sixth one coming out, you basically have to watch the movie. That's not live action, but the point is that the movie should directly tie in to the series, unlike 1993 SMB movie.

It's even worse than the article suggests! I just went on the Windows store, and about a sixth of all the "New and Rising" games were with Nintendo characters (most Pokémon). This should Stop!!!

@KawaiiTaikoDrum
See my question? At the top?

Hey, just noticed. You can navigate games by character, and Professor Layton is the fourth choice! Nice to see some love for the good Professor!

@Katzii
Just checkin'

Doesn't the US already have this?

@GeminiSaint
They're looking at the guy behind it giving them thumbs up and mouthing "Keep Smiling".

@Spuratis
Back to Nature was one of my favorite PS1 games. My 2nd favorite HM.

@Burning_Spear
The way harvest moon DS did the rucksack was pretty awesome.

My first Mario game, and game in general, was Super Mario World. 100%'d it when I was 5 years old. It's still my favorite Mario game, and one of my favorite games ever. Just so many great levels and generally a great feeling I get when playing that game make it (to me) the best Mario game. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who thinks that.

@Mk_II
Yup. That's why I just saved this picture!

I love how both kids are playing Mario at the same time.

I hope this is similar to the Good harvest moons, like the GBA games, and Harvest Moon DS, which is still my favorite. The PS1 game was also pretty good, to me at least.

If women are portrayed as "so weak" in the game, explain Impa. If I remember correctly, she was a warrior, and she seemed to me much tougher than all of the Hylian knights.

I would buy this game just to hear the music! I love this composer! Hopefully he knows that just putting remixes of old songs or themes, and bland new songs, really makes the game less enjoyable. This is something that the NSMB series needs to learn, and hopefully SM3DW's music is something new.

Breathing fast
Will the leather card wallet be in the US, too? WILL THE LEATHER CARD WALLET BE IN THE US? WILL THE LEATHER CARD WALLET BE IN THE US????

I guess I'll get Zelda. Maybe. I dunno... They never have games I really want on the club Nintendo reward system.

Link and toon link tag team those fools!

Wow! I will buy this day one, as long as I can get to a store to buy a physical copy. The levels do look a bit gimmicky, but if they're fun, who cares!

@Dr_Corndog
Hear, hear

Deep down I still wish Nintendo would do a bit more themselves.

I do wonder what the control scheme will be for this new one. People are so divided over "Motion controls or No Motion controls" that it would be hard to make everyone happy.
I propose a Zelda where you can basically have whatever you want in both hands, and use the control sticks, OR the Wiimote and nunchuck. For example, if you wanted two swords, you could equip a sword to both control sticks (or actually, the left one would have to go on the control pad. You still need a way to move). That may sound weird, but think: if swinging the control stick swiftly to the right swung to the right, left for left, up for an up-swinging move similar to Roy's super jump in Super Smash Bros. Melee, and down to swing down. Then you could make all kinds of combo's, like swinging a control stick swiftly up to do a jumpity in the air move and then swiftly down while still in the air to slam down on your enemy and do some major hurt. How awesome would that be?!?!? For arrows, you would go FP style like ocarina of time 3D where you aim with the gyroscope.

Sigh
I want Flipnote 3D.
Not that I was expecting it today, but it's been "delayed" two months already.
COME ON!!!!!

No matter what happens, this is still pretty funny. In a sad, pathetic kind of way.

Next thing you know, Professor Layton, Luke, and Flora'll be droppin F-Bombs
and swearing all over the place. Especially Flora.

@thesilverbrick
Yes, that 3D may throw some people off.

Am I the only one who gets an good feeling from the fact that it has world in it's name. I'm hoping it is as awesome as super Mario world (I know, dreaming big).

I'm still holding out for Professor Layton in SSB. They teased it at one point and now I'm obsessed with it happening!

@ShadowFox254
His final smash is what I meant, although I have always had particular dislike for sonic in SSBB.

Darn! The cheapest charecter there is. He's back!

This is Nintendo. You knew it was gonna happen. I'm just glad it's not SM3DW that was delayed after what they showed in today's Nintendo Direct.

All I felt for this was... disappointment. Sorry, Nintendo.

@Snkfiend
"Let me have my opinion" is way overused as an excuse for people to be complete idiots on the internet.
"you keep kneeling over backwards for Sakurai" Its not about Sakurai. It's about SSB. Your reasoning is invalid.
The last I'll say about this is: I feel sorry for you.

@Snkfiend
Melee was actually my favorite in the series. I don't play the SSB games for story and balance but whatever. If you are correct and there isn't anything major, then congratulations! You proved me wrong!

@Snkfiend
Yes, he took out story mode. But how do you know he didn't put in a new mode to make up for it? You don't. So far, every SSB game has had things the previous one didn't. I doubt this is an exception.

@Snkfiend
So... I take it then that you know more about this game than the rest of us since you already know all the modes that will be present in the game. Sakurai's just a big idiot, huh?

@gamecubefan
Just a word of advice: You can press enter to start a new paragraph. that way you only have to make one comment instead of five.

@JaxonH
I'm not sure how the misunderstanding of "Zelda always puts gameplay before story" started, but that is not the case. Story can make or break a Zelda game. Zelda has always been very dependent on story. For example, Majora's Mask was just a rehash of the gameplay from ocarina of Time, only arguably worse, but it is still considered one of the great Zelda games. Why? It's not because of the graphics(well, when it was released the graphics were good) or sound quality (even when it was released the sound quality was not up to par with many games at the time). It's because it has a deep story.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Miyamoto create Wii sports. The game that broke his own sales record for super Mario bros.(Yeah I know that includes pack-in copies, but still) That means Miyamoto has the two top selling video games of all time. I wouldn't be hating on him for one or two bad games.

@Fazermint
Sad but true.
