I'd love to see some new IPs make an appearance. I'm also pretty interested in what other companies have to offer, but my main focus is definitely Nintendo.
@C-Threep Yeah if you head into the tutorial, then you can keep playing until you exit even when they turn off the online. I managed to cover absolutely every surface last time.
For me, it was all about that Mario Kart 8/ Smash 4 DLC and Splatoon. It was also interesting to hear that amiibo will have a random game demo tied to them. It's got me real curious as to what my Link amiibo has!
I did find it disappointing that there was no news about Xenoblade X or Starfox though. I thought for sure that they'd be featured...
A lot of people think Rare died with the Microsoft purchase, but I think Rare still made some good games on Microsoft Consoles. I mean, I loved Kameo and Viva Pinata as a kid. It's a shame that they've become 'that company that makes all the Kinect games'.
I just wish they gave themselves more time to work on the actual game. I think they push too hard to release it in time for the holiday season and the games suffer for it.

Re: Social Networks Go Into Meltdown Over Apparent The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess 3D Rumour

Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Turns to Classics, DLC and amiibo to Keep Fans Hooked
For me, it was all about that Mario Kart 8/ Smash 4 DLC and Splatoon. It was also interesting to hear that amiibo will have a random game demo tied to them. It's got me real curious as to what my Link amiibo has!

Re: Microsoft Once Had Some Pretty Wild Ideas, Including Making Xbox Free And Buying Nintendo
A lot of people think Rare died with the Microsoft purchase, but I think Rare still made some good games on Microsoft Consoles. I mean, I loved Kameo and Viva Pinata as a kid. It's a shame that they've become 'that company that makes all the Kinect games'.
Re: Pac-Man Makes a Playable Appearance in Google Maps
Wow, that's pretty cool.

That's pretty funny.
Re: Talking Point: It's Time for a Nintendo Direct to Set the Agenda
