Nintendo Life hated Tri Force Heroes, but chose it over Code Name Steam and Xenoblade Chronicles 3D?

Mostly well drawn, but significantly off the mark. Some people, no matter how talented, just don't understand brand.

With how poor Nintendo does in the UK it annoys me so much that many physical releases (Fatal Frame), and limited editions (MK8 & HW) end up releasing there and not in the US where Nintendo makes the majority of its
profits (World Store releases don't count). The UK almost feels like a lost cause.

Since the Vita was considered a "handheld PS3" to begin with, saying the Wii U isn't much more powerful just reaffirms what we've known for years now. That the Wii U is a little more powerful than a PS3 and 360. Seriously pointless, trolling tweet.

I know it's a prototype, but It never would have released having only Sony's Playstation name slapped all over it. It still would have been SNES tech running the system like the Genesis did for Sega CD.

This guy can't go a day without saying something stupid. I don't know why you (Nintendolife) give him so much attention.

I wish Nintendo could buy all their own stock so they wouldn't have to answer to ignorant investors.

Pretty sure this was acknowledged by SEGA over 10 years ago, covered in an issue EGM...

One thing I can say for certain is that regardless of how many games reviewers play, I've never gotten the impression they were good at them. Reviewers for Ninja Gaiden 2 and Wonderful 101 quickly come to mind. There might be truth to both sides.

I regret buying it on Wii U. I had to double check that didn't download a demo after I beat it. Short, no challenge, and little to do.

Just because they didn't make it doesn't mean they don't own...
With that said, you apparently don't know what 3rd party means. It's the development and release of a game without the console manufacturer's involvement. 2nd party games are games owned by an external developer, but published by the console manufacturer as an exclusive (Bayonetta 2).

Tokyo Crash Mobs- Developed by Nitendo/Mitchell, owned by Nintendo (1st party)
Dillon's Rolling Western- Developed by Vanpool/Nintendo, owned by Nintendo (1st Party)
Sakura Samurai- Developed by Grounding Inc., owned by Nintendo (1st Party)
Ketzal's Corridors- Developed by Keys Factory, owned by Nintendo (1st Party)
Freakyforms- Developed by Asobism, owned by Nintendo (1st Party)
Fluidity- Developed by Curve Digital, owned by Nintendo (1st Party)
Sing Party- Developed by Nintendo, owned by Nintendo (1st Party)
W101- Developed by Platinum, owned by Nintendo (1st Party)
The Last Story- Developed by Mystwalker, owned by Nintendo (1st Party)
Pandora's Tower- Developed by Ganbarion, owned by Nintendo (1st Party)
Flingsmash- Developed, owned by Nintendo (1st party)
Bonsai Barber- Developed by Zoonami, owned by Nintendo (1st party)
ThruSpace- Developed by Keys Factory, owned by Nintendo (1st party)
AquaSpace- Developed by Paon, owned by Nintendo (1st party)
You, Me and the Cubes- Developed by Nintendo, owned by Nintendo (1st Party)

PS:
Do your research before saying something stupid.

Says the guy who can't find success outside of Boarderlands.

I wonder what effect this will have on the kickstarted River City Ransom: Underground.

I've been asking these questions for the last six years and people have teased me for it. First started thinking about it after a cross country move in 2009 where I went without internet for a couple months. Noticed all my XBLA games revert to trials, only to return after re-connecting to the internet (keep in mind this was back before games reverted to trials immediately without an internet connection).

Digital games will never be more than extended rentals, and should be priced as such.

You missed the most deserving character, Simon Belmont.

It's frustrating that North America is being left out on the Sin and Punishment 2 Wii U port. Especially since, like most Nintendo games, it sold best in that region to begin with.

Yup, looks like Peach never plans to put out.

Um, a turned down pitch is not the same thing as a game that was planned and cancelled. Misleading article.

This is an uninformed comparison. You're comparing two sealed copies with two used/scratched up copies (1 incomplete collectors missing outer sleeve and 1 non-collectors edition w/ a stock photo). Plus the person selling the incomplete collectors version has only "3" feedback, killing their chances of making much on the sale.

If there's one thing I've learned as a collector, digital releases have no effect on the value of physical.

This guy doesn't love Nintendo more than me, he just has more money to spend.

Um, I'd like to point out that the only criticism Club Nintendo gets is in North America, where it's completely warranted.

@NauticalCrimes
I highly doubt Ubisoft would sell the IP. Especially given the fact ZombiU is a throwback to Ubisofts first ever game, Zombi, that came out back in 1986.

I remember when this came out it received game of the month in EGM over Mario Sunshine. It was a big deal.

I'd like to point out that the version available for purchase is NOT the "Original Edition". At least not in North America.

I get tired of people saying Dracula X is Rondo port. I've spent countless hours over the last 20 years playing both games, and yes they basically tell the same story, but are far from being the same game.

"You've stolen our theft software!"

I have no sympathy for for either side.

Why can't I select more than one thing? I'm certainly buying more than one thing.

I picked up every one of these when initially released, but honestly, Mario 3D World was the first one that felt literally perfect.

Funny considering ZombiU more than doubled the sales of Just Dance.

I'm simply tired of all the deja vu with each new console generation. It's like starting over every damn time. Regardless of how successful Nintendo has been in the past and how many millions of games they've sold, here they are trying to be seen again. You'd think getting over a hurdle like this once would be enough.

If an F-Zero GX HD happened, I say leave the difficulty alone. It's probably the hardest game ever made this side of 4th gen, but damn is rewarding when you beat story chapters on Very Hard mode or unlock the AX cup.

@Luigifan141

Complete US collection you mean (and one Japanese title). Besides, it's not complete without the box and manuals for each. Get to it!

Hate to have to correct you, but Gunpei Yokoi designed the Game Boy Pocket after the Virtual Boy.

Man, I've had the $100 bundle reserved at Gamestop for nearly 2 months now.

Come on people, show some love for Cybernator. That game is awesome. Better yet, now it has the restore point feature available so it won't be so hard to beat.

Certainly one of my favorites on N64, but I haven't played the game in around 15 years. I assume it doesn't hold up well. 5th gen 3D games are kind of notorious for that.

Wow, the 3DS is selling more than all non-Nintendo systems combined.

There's nothing in this video that suggests they're making a game. In the industry, it's encouraged for game artists to recreate existing works of what they'd like to be making to put in their portfolio. Besides, there's only bits and pieces here. Considering how much time was spent in the video showing off a single model suggests there's no game to speak of, and probably never will be.

Extremely disappointing. Why the hell would they make the rewards something that's most likely already owned by an individual who spent money to reach platinum? This year is a complete bust.

This guy is such an idiot. Yeah, I'm sure a large percentage of the 8+ million PS4's were purchased by the 100+ Wii owners (sarcasm). How many does he think were purchased by dedicated Sony fans?

Absolutely I want the disc. Who wouldn't? I'll get to play it indefinitely, unlike a download copy.

With four people trading off, I don't understand what was difficult about it. One person plays ten hours (which isn't too hard), then goes to sleep while the next person plays.

I tried to get one today and they almost gave me a stupid fuzzy animal of some kind instead. I left because they wouldn't let me pick out a Mario Kart one.

Damn patent trolls. These things are always so vague and describe absolutely nothing about the actual technology. I'm going to release a patent described as "game console using complete, life-like visuals" which will undoubtedly give me control of the entire games industry from next gen and on.

Well, looks like my fears will come true. Star Fox is download only.

Very disappointing. I was hoping the retail copy would be on a disc. You know, so I could keep it.

Um, Wii owners didn't upgrade at all. It's the casual market, they still only have a Wii. You guys have said it yourselves that all Skylanders games and Disney Infinity have all sold best on Wii over any other console. These games came out after the Wii was already dead. The proof is right there.

"Multiple releases that are connected through different missions".

Is this a download only Star Fox? NOoooooooooooo!

It's been bugging me so I had to look this up myself. Since 2005.....

Call of Duty (every game) = 182 million units
Mario (every game) = 244 million units

Anyone can look this up, really.
