Nintendolife is one of the few sites I trust. A lot of people who write for magazines and websites give favorable reviews to receive advertiser dollars, exclusive stories and free gifts from publishers. This is the main reason why the cumulative review score on Metacritic is garbage.
I wish Nintendolife had more than one person reviewing the game. The more opinions the better. Also, let the users rate the games and post these scores next to the review.
I have a better chance winning the lottery every month for the rest of my life and being the first person to land on Mars than having Meat Boy show up in Smash Bros.

If Sega published this book, the title would be Sonic & Sega Arcade Classics Volume 1 with a big picture of Sonic on the front and back cover.
I got really depressed after finding out Nintendo Land was not online. This caused me to start drinking my life away at local bars and playing bingo with the elderly every Saturday night. One day a stranger found me passed out near Pizza Hut. He woke me up and said "Stop thinking about Nintendo all the time. If you want your online fix, play the Xbox or Playstation." He said his name was Jesus. I took his advice and now live a happy life.
The arcade version of BurgerTime is included on the Data East Arcade Classics for the Wii. Unfortunately, the price of that collection has skyrocketed this year.
This looks exactly the same as the Gopher and Blaze Europe handhelds. Plus, you can download any Genesis/Mega Drive ROM from the internet, add them to SD cards, and play the games on the device for free. I thought Nintendolife frowns upon emulators and roms?
I really trust this site but there should be an option for Nintendolife members to rate a game and have a cumulative user review score placed right next to the staffs score
When I heard Bayonetta 2 was not for the PS3 or Xbox360, I ran to my room and started crying. Tears turned to anger causing very naughty behavior around the house, which got me grounded for weeks! I realized afterwards that I never owned a Sony or M$ system. Now everything is back to normal
The Virtual Console was the main reason why I bought a Wii. If the Wii U adds more systems (GameCube, Saturn, Dreamcast) then Nintendo can have my money
Germanium is a serious health hazard that can cause liver failure, anemia, nerve damage, skin rash and muscle weakness. Avoid this product at all costs!
The Wii U is next gen but the cycle does not start until everyone (MS, Sony, Nintendo) releases their new console. That is what Capcom is trying to say.
I never liked Super Mario World. The lack of special suits, similar looking stages, and lots of backtracking made it feel like a step backwards from Super Mario Bros. 3. I would rate that game a 6. Super Mario Bros. 3 is my favorite!
Tatsunoko vs Capcom was a North American license disaster, but Capcom worked with all the companies who owned the rights to get the game released. Unfortunately, Nintendo is not willing to spend the extra money to get Earthbound on the VC.
Cloud gaming is the future and will eliminate the need for new consoles. Nintendo would be foolish making a new system each gen when they could just sell a device for streaming games. The only hardware they should release is new controllers for different game experiences.
Fatal Frame 2 will never be released in North America because NOA refused to localize Fatal Frame 4 (the best in the series). Tecmo Koei should publish their own games instead of giving NOA the opportunity to hand out the death sentence.
Sega died after merging with Sammy in 2004. Almost all the key designers have left the company and games are rarely made anymore by their first party studios. The Sega I knew in the 80s and 90s is completely gone.
What is the point of making another Golden Sun when NOA refuses to publish RPG's? Geez, getting Xenoblade was such a hassle and many games on the DS, like Soma Bringer have remained in Japan.

Re: Best Buy Employee On A Mission To Save R.O.B.
What idiot would let a NES, Zapper and ROB get recycled? Sell this on ebay instead of having it destroyed by Best Buy
Re: Square Enix CEO Resigns Ahead of Financial Losses
Not releasing Dragon Quest X for the Wii in the west was a huge mistake. They also have a ton of great games that need to be on the Virtual Console
Re: Miyamoto Teases the Possibility of a Real "Nintendo Land" in the Future
If Sega can make Joypolis a success, than Nintendo should open a theme park. Love to see Mario Kart bumper cars and Metriod laser tag.
Re: Nintendo Loses 3D Patent Case Against Former Sony Inventor
Wow, this makes Nintendo look like a bunch of hypocrites. They fight against piracy but they also steal patents to make a profit.

Re: Team Meat: We'd Work With Nintendo If Meat Boy Made It Into Smash Bros.

Re: UK Press Pins Blame For Sandy Hook Massacre On Video Games
What puzzles me is why the video game publishers/developers are not suing the media for defamation

Re: Talking Point: Time for Wii U to Treat Us Like Adults
If Nintendo pulled this crap in America, I would hack the #@%& outta the Wii U
Re: Call of Duty Black Ops II Suffers From Reduced Frame Rate On Wii U
Mass Effect 3 and Ninja Gaiden Wii U also have lower frame rates than the 360. Just lazy ports in my opinion.
Re: Wii U Software Discounts Hit Ahead of Black Friday, Analysts Weigh In
The Wii U is sold out? All the major retail stores where I live have them in stock.
Re: Feature: Shigeru Miyamoto - The Father of Modern Video Games

Re: Mega Man: The Wily Wars Battles Onto Genesis Portable
This looks exactly the same as the Gopher and Blaze Europe handhelds. Plus, you can download any Genesis/Mega Drive ROM from the internet, add them to SD cards, and play the games on the device for free. I thought Nintendolife frowns upon emulators and roms?
Re: Miyamoto Puzzled As To Why Anyone Would Want A New F-Zero
Miyamoto is a master at taking the same game concept and creating something unique. He definitely can figure something out

Re: Shigeru Miyamoto: Mario and Luigi Don't Have Last Names
Mario's last name is Money
Re: Wii U Pro Controller Feels "Amateurish", Say Kotaku
Could be that Ashcraft is still butthurt over Bayonetta 2 appearing on the Wii U
Re: Platinum: Without Nintendo, There Would Be No Bayonetta 2
When I heard Bayonetta 2 was not for the PS3 or Xbox360, I ran to my room and started crying. Tears turned to anger causing very naughty behavior around the house, which got me grounded for weeks! I realized afterwards that I never owned a Sony or M$ system. Now everything is back to normal
Re: Talking Point: Are Wii U Games Going To Be Too Expensive?
I always wait for the games to drop in the $20-30 price range

Re: Nintendo Power Magazine Looks Set to Shut Down
I first subscribed to Nintendo Power for the free copy of Dragon Warrior. Sad to see another childhood memory flushed down the toilet
Re: Feature: Our Favourite Super Mario Games

Re: EarthBound's Virtual Console No-Show Could Be Down To Sampling Issues
Tatsunoko vs Capcom was a North American license disaster, but Capcom worked with all the companies who owned the rights to get the game released. Unfortunately, Nintendo is not willing to spend the extra money to get Earthbound on the VC.
Re: Bing Gordon: Nintendo's 'On Track' to Primarily Focus on Software
Cloud gaming is the future and will eliminate the need for new consoles. Nintendo would be foolish making a new system each gen when they could just sell a device for streaming games. The only hardware they should release is new controllers for different game experiences.
Re: Fan Group 'Operation Zero' Attempts to Scare Nintendo of America
Fatal Frame 2 will never be released in North America because NOA refused to localize Fatal Frame 4 (the best in the series). Tecmo Koei should publish their own games instead of giving NOA the opportunity to hand out the death sentence.
Re: Michael Pachter Admits That Wii U Pro Controller Comments Were an 'Educated Guess'
Why does the game media continue to write articles about Mr. Patcher opinions? Stop giving this man an outlet for his 'educated guesses'
Re: SEGA Wants Sonic to be the Next Hello Kitty
Back in the 90's, Sonic was for everyone but now is he marketed towards children. RIP little buddy
Re: SEGA Europe Closes Five Offices, Shifts Focus to Digital
Sega died after merging with Sammy in 2004. Almost all the key designers have left the company and games are rarely made anymore by their first party studios. The Sega I knew in the 80s and 90s is completely gone.
Re: Atari Turns 40 Today
The 2600 was my first system. I still have it connected to my old tube TV in the basement.
Re: Yoshinori Ono Still Overworked Despite Health Scare
A Japanese Toyota employee worked himself to death five years ago. Ono should just quit Capcom b/c his health is more important than his job
Re: Let Camelot Know If You Want Another Golden Sun
What is the point of making another Golden Sun when NOA refuses to publish RPG's? Geez, getting Xenoblade was such a hassle and many games on the DS, like Soma Bringer have remained in Japan.
