I say be harsher- Woolly World's level design is pretty meh, Devils Third got a 2 or 3 in Edge, and in some cases "average" is more praise than a game deserves. You gotta earn a 7+!score!
They need to change the presenters for Europe - seriously , can barely understand Shibata "Let's take a Rook" - why can't we have someone like Reggie, more charismatic and relatable. At least Iwata was understandable.
Game are doing this promotion also. I am a big fan of Mario and Luigi series (though never finished DreamTeam) .. So this might persuade me to preorder soon
I was a religious virtual console reviews reader then one day it turned into Nintendo and I was like WTF!? - but it quickly grew on me and now I love it
Everything about Sonic 2 is just great- the level variety, speed, bosses, music. Didn't appreciate it as much in the 90s but now it's a creative marvel.
Love everytime- people matter more than anything in life and in reference to an earlier comment, love and respect can gain an attractive partner moreso than money
Given that Amiibo only unlock some limited "extras" this really isn't a big deal. If anything, Nintendo are locking what could easily be regular game content and perhaps, arguably, this should be available to All who purchase a given game.
@KeeperBvK Same principle as YouTubers asking you to subscribe at the end of their videos. It's never going to go away so I guess if it annoys you, don't read it, your only option
It's like the What if Al Gore had been President Question. Maybe Rare would have descended in quality anyway. Or maybe we'd have an amazing Banjo Threeie. I guess we'll never know.
I once got a drawing censored on miiverse and to this day still don't know why. Think it contained a pirahna plant or two so maybe they thought it looked phallic...
In last 24 hours have bought this, fantasy zone 2, sonic the hedgehog and outrun - These M2 remakes are pretty special and a great reminder of just how talented Sega were back in the day

Re: Talking Point: Nintendo is Right to Move On From the Wii Family Name With NX
I think it was the right time to move on after the first Wii. I think Nintendo believe that too now. But hindsight is a wonderful thing.
Re: Random: Check Out the Most Expensive Super Mario Watch in the World
It really sould have a goomba and a ? block. Maybe the cloud should be Lakitu.
It's not even made from precious metal - so how in the hell is it worth more than a few hundred squid?

makes sense - mainstream, massive non-Nintendo fanbase, yup, why did we not expect?

@Mijzelffan Well said

They could have utilised the power of Mario IP... but they went for this.

Re: Luigi Diorama and Legend of Zelda Carry Case Return to Club Nintendo
Wasted my stars on a majors lamp, but least I sold it on eBay and made some mulah. Dat Diorama tho. That would be a keeper.
Re: Review: 3D Gunstar Heroes (3DS eShop)
Seems a decent game, tho I prefer star parodier- it never gets old

Re: Talking Point: Nintendo's Dismissal of Chris Pranger Highlights Issues With Company Culture
The weirdest part of all this is that Nintendo used firing as a joke in their pre - E3 hype. Now it's an unfortunate, not very funny reality.

Re: Review: Star Parodier (Wii Virtual Console / TurboGrafx-16)
Phenomenal game- so glad I got it on the Wii shop. Needs to come to 3ds eshop!
Re: Soapbox: It's A Tragedy That Rare Replay Isn't On A Nintendo Console
I guess it's nice that it exists so that gamers relatively new to Rare can witness first-hand the magic that was.
And you could argue this is about the only instance where Microsoft are deriving value from their hefty purchase.
I guess business is business, as much as we'd love more flexibility from Microsoft (e.g. Licensing Banjo-Kazooie IP to Playtonic)

Re: Wii U Squeezes Past 10 Million Lifetime Sales as Nintendo Remains on Target With Profits
If only Zelda was coming this year, then the Wii U might hit 15million lifetime sales.
The 3DS is doing terrifically well - given the handheld device market
I guess it's tough to stomach the Wii U doing under 20 million lifetime sales even 2 years from now... NX can't come soon enough!
Re: Dragon Quest XI Is Coming To The Nintendo 3DS And Nintendo NX
@Darknyht That's certainly in the same vein as Wii U D2

Re: Talking Point: Wii U Gamers Have Been Treated Poorly By The Third-Party Retail Scene, But The System Still Brings Joy
@abe_hikura The Dreamcast was one heck of a console. A shame it didn't have a full-life. Guess the brightest stars fade fastest.
