Expa0 Yes, and it tried to be more dark and serious to attract more people to the Zelda series, and it worked, for people who weren't Zelda fans and wanted it more realistic. I daresay that for most longtime fans, though, it left a lot to be desired.
@SirGreatNose So... Basically what you want is another twilight princess.... Cause that was the Zelda series trying to be something it wasn't. Don't get me wrong, if they tried again, maybe they could make something worthwhile, but just no. Besides, a Zelda game isn't bad because of being cartoony. It needs strong story.
I always go physical disc on everything (except monster hunter 3U this weekend because of the half off deal). Just because I like to be able to sell or return it if I ever want to. I also like showing off all of my cool game cases.
@Bengals76 Wii U's not outdated yet. In fact, until PS4 and XBone are released, it's the best hardware you can get. Even when the competitors arrive, it will just be like the wii was against the PS3 and Xbox 360, only the wii U will be closer to its competitors than the wii was.

Exactly! This is what I try to tell people. Metroid Other M wasn't a failure. It was just the first step in the right direction. It had problems, but I think it was needed to test some things, and now in the next game it will be perfected and BAM! New awesome Metroid game.
they should make it 3rd person. Trying to replicate Metroid Prime series isn't going to do much. Make something like Other M but with a different story and better camera angles. The fighting in other M was cool and intense, but too easy. And the times in other M where you were supposed to aim at the screen with the wii remote (shudder) would be MUCH smoother using the gamepad. The 3DS Metroid I'd be okay with if it was in first person and you aimed with the 3DS but think of how cool it would be as a third person Metroid prime hunters style multiplayer (even better though, with voice chat) AND without sacrificing the story mode. That's what I want.
Wait... Monster Hunter is only on discount for two days. Dang it! I am still trying to find the money for WWHD and then have enough for LBW when it comes out. I have to make a decision quick.
So. Miiverse is finally coming to 3DS. I was totally unprepared for this. I am extremely surprised (and happy) about it.. It's coming this year too... Well, I doubt that part.
I was planning on posting a comment about how I hate the animations of the sprites until I heard him say he did it all himself. I will definitely support this guy(But it's still bothers me that the game so far looks like something I could make in Petit Computer).
Five bucks is not much. It's almost TOO low... What Nintendo is doing here is testing to see if people will actually pay for things like this, but with a low price. Next time, the price may be ten dollars a year, which is still low. Eventually, the price may be higher, or monthly. Then, if people still buy the stuff, Nintendo can follow Microsoft's lead and charge for things like online play itself (Although at a lower price than Microsoft. I can't see Nintendo charging THAT much for any kind of regular fee). Don't get me wrong, if I buy the game, yeah I'm going to pay for the Pokémon Bank. But I suspect that this will happen if the Pokémon Bank is a success.
@Tasuki Get rid of Reggie? Are you crazy? Nintendo would get a lot more hate from all the Reggie fans than they ever got for hiring Reggie. He's good PR. I'm not saying I agree with his worshippers, but he has a huge fan following.
Also, Nintendo as a company isn't doing bad. They just haven't many WiiU yet.
@rmeyer That would sell millions of systems! The people who don't know much about the WiiU, but just don't want one because it's a "Nintendo" would see what looks like a semi-portable Call of Duty on an HD system that you can play on the TV, too. Nintendo would do well to hire you as their head of advertising.

Re: Lifetime Sales for the 3DS Have Now Surpassed the Wii in Japan
A month after the 3ds was released, people were proclaiming it was a doomed piece of crap! And now this!

I'm so glad that they didn't name it Wii sports U. Because they could have. But they didn't.

The Wii U's web browser is much better than the PS3's, and sometimes runs faster than my PC. It's very 'decent'.

Re: Flipnote Studio 3D European Release is Delayed
@123akis
The Japan version was delayed, from July 3rd to July 24th. I expect that North America and Europe's wait will be about 20 days as well.
