Sweet, hope it's more than just rumors. Absolutely love the first game, maybe there's a slim, frail chance of its sequel making it to North America.

@Zach
I know, right? But I can't shake the feeling it's going to hit under $20 sooner than later and should wait.

Always a pleasure to play this game, it was a jaw dropping experience back in 1996 and still mostly holds up well today.
Cept for that camera...

Voted for Sheena from Tales of Symphonia on the SSB website. Simply because I've never heard or seen her mentioned in any polls and I think her move set would be unique with the elemental cards and martial arts.

No interest here. Making a mediocre game is one thing, but to purposely add in subject matter to gain attention and sales based on controversy doesn't win me over. To each their own, I guess, just not my cup of tea.

Mario 64. Best $2 I'll spend all week.

Nice article, the N64 might have to get fired up today.

@Megas75
I'll second that motion.

My Smash CD's came earlier in the week, so I was hoping we'd get word on this (Mew)too.

As long as the prefix "Wii" isn't being used, I'm excited to see whats next for Big N.

What a great quarter muncher. Really brings me back to the days of working in an arcade as a teenager. Might have to run the headphone jack through the home stereo on "11" to get the full effect of the audio. Great review, got me hyped.

Sounds like fun, but unfortunately I too am one of the many unable to attend due to distance. Have an event in the Midwest USA and I'm totally there. Hope it all goes well.

They looked like they were having fun, shows how well Nintendo makes their games for all ages.
We're not that far away from the 1st generation of gamers getting to retirement age, have to wonder if its going to be an emerging market in the next decade.

Baten Kaitos please.

Tingle has grown on me like a toadstool grows on a tree stump.

I've been saying for years that proper marketing of their goods and services would've improved so many aspects of their sales. Sony/MS has spent a ton of money on marketing campaigns and it's paid off. Nintendo? They have a themed dance on one of the highest rated programs in North America, something that had to be approved by NoA, and it's followed up by ZERO Nintendo products in the shows commercials. It's frustrating and their numbers will never change if they continue to drop the ball at opportunities like that.

Seems fun, but it's crashed on me 4 times before even getting an hour into it. In need of a patch/update before I continue.

Citizens of Earth has crashed on me 3 times already. Think I'll put it back on the shelf until the patches arrive.

Tatsunoko Vs Capcom would top my list to start. Such a nice change of pace from Smash and an absolute blast. Would love to see it for download.

Glad this is happening. The current Club Nintendo was getting stale. Had some good ideas, and occasionally good awards, but it was definitely time for a change. Those surveys...

All I need is a release date so I can plan the vacation days.

I'm just glad they're not changing the name out of political correctness.

All I know is whatever Big N has planned, it will have nothing to do with anything Sony, MS, EA, Ubisoft, and Activision want or do.
In fact, I'd be willing to bet that Nintendo has been purposely burning its 3rd party bridges these past few years just to see where the industry was going, just to deviate from it even more.

Grew up in the arcade, even working for one in High School. I remember lines 20 deep for Street Fighter II, NBA Jam tournaments and using a paperclip to rig a Mortal Kombat machine for free play. Shame they're all but extinct now.

Those of you calling for Big N to implement disc media usage on their next console (CD, DVD, etc...) keep dreaming. Nintendo will NEVER pay the Consortium for usage on their consoles in order to keep costs down. They're even part of all of the Consortium's, but it will never happen.

The only thing that is an absolute must to me is drop the Wii name as a prefix.

I admit I'm quite critical of Mr.Iwata on some of his decisions over the years, but there's no denying his knowledge and love of the industry. I know a lot of managers who won't lift a finger to help in the trenches in any line of work. He's certainly one of a kind.

Melee is great, but my family is by far having more of a blast on the U version.

All the best this Holiday Season to the NL staff and their families and to all the other gamers out there. If you get any coal this year, I hope its made of gold.

@gatorboi352
True, but if we want to go into 80s lore, I'll need to bust out my Colecovision first.

Like the War on Drugs, piracy is a losing battle for Nintendo, but one they have to fight.

Love my 64. Great memories and great games.

The whole slow-mo arrow while jumping off Epona looks pretty darn cool and fun. Might as well set the funds aside right after Christmas.

I wish we got fun Nintendo commercials here in the US... Or just any commercials.
How does NOA endorse a Mario-themed DWTS routine and yet not a single Wii U (much less anything Nintendo related) ad follows? Its marketing 101.

Toss in Japanese and the Mexican and Puerto Rican dialects of Spanish and bring this app to North America. Instant buy.

I remember the first time seeing one on display at my local Shopko and saying to my girlfriend at the time "I want one, but look at it, it'll never sell and there won't be any games for it".
Might have been a wee bit wrong on that one. The girlfriend too, so I was wrong about 2 things.

I think I'll just start calling my favorite little 'shroom heads "Non-gender specific anthropomorphic fungi" from now on.

If Ubi and EA want in on the Amiibo action will their figurines be made 4/5 complete having less features than all the others?

Judging by all of the hints he's been dropping the last 3 years, I think we all kind of knew this was the case.

I'm literally watching the Batman TAS episode that features The Condiment King as I'm reading this article. That was a little weird, but I guess that means we'll see Rolling Pin & Pack Rat too.
(In case anyone cares, the episode is called Make 'Em Laugh)

A 10. An 11 really. One of the few games of any console of any era that I do a play through once a year on.

The commercial spots for this game are probably my favorite ever from Nintendo. Big, puffy mascots pounding the crap out of each other! Good times.

Looks like I'll have me a new favorite bike to use.

Great golf game, they really kicked it up a notch in terms of depth and (yet) has enough simplicity and intuitive controls that anyone can pick up and play. I always wished it were more RPG-ish, but its a minor gripe. 9/10.

Went out and bought an extra N64, expansion pak and copy of PD just to always have it ready to go in my den. Still is a blast to play.

Favorite console ever. The list of top notch games is endless for the 'Cube, every gamer should have one in their collection.

First game I fell in love with as a kid. It'll always be a 10, but I'd sure love to see the Colecovision version in the e Shop someday.

They could always take it one step further and say they've got a team in North Korea working on a bare-bones port for the PSBox. There won't be any DLC, it'll be out a year after the WIi U release, and it'll still be $10 more.

I haven't been this excited about folders since the introduction of the Trapper Keeper.

As usual, attacking the Cuccos has them crying fowl.
