I agree with Reggie. Wii U will find its market soon enough. I for one am going to go broke with all the games I'll be buying later this year!

This is why I really like Nintendo as a company.

This is hilarious coming from the guy that made angry birds. I really do not get why that game is so popular.

Wii U will find it's market.

I do not think that Peach will be much of a selling point. I do like the multiple character options.

Wow, how exciting. I might have to get this. I need something to play my N64 Wii VC games since selling my GCN stuff. However I might just go with the Wii classic controller pro.

This will be a good game. I am looking forward to it, although I would love another 3D donkey kong platformer. Like a better DK 64. They should at least include Lanky and Chunky as well!

No DLC please!

I hope that this single player campaign is not a huge focus of the game. I did not really like the Subspace Emissary campaign. Although seeing as they are including a campaign, I hope it is a good one.

Guess which company is going to get "Worst in America" for the 3rd time in a row?

Need for Speed was fun. From what I've heard it is the only good game that EA has on Wii U. They should not complain that their hastily-made, low budget ports are not selling well.

Go Nintendo! Keep doing what you're doin' and keep fightin' the good fight!

The populace is already confused enough about Wii U as it is. Plus, it already is a lower cost alternative to the PS4 and X-box One (becaue we all KNOW those things will cost major $$$$$$). It would not be good for nintendo to remove what differentiates its console from the competition.

I agree with HeatBombastic on the remake. As long as I have OoT on VC I'll be happy.

This was an interesting interview!

Nintendo has not disappointed me with their decision not to go to E3. Their direct videos have done an excellent job of getting me excited!

I would love to see a first-person realtime pokemon game on Wii U!

I am generally against DLC, although I would not mind so much if this game is comparable in length to other Zelda games and they want to add EVEN MORE.

This sounds like a good idea. Although I think that the Super Smash Bros. series has always done a good job of striking the balance between hardcore and casual.

I think Reggie definitely nailed that one. Make better games and people will not sell them; that is just plain logical.

This looks pretty fun. I am sure that it will mature into a nice, challenging title. I think Nintendo knows that it cannot get away with NSMB Wii, NSMB U, and Super Mario 3D land titles forever.

If this is true that would be neat!

I think with the games that are coming out, Nintendo will be in great shape. It is too bad that Mario Kart 8 will not be out in time for the holidays, that would have been a huge boost.

This looks awesome. I am glad that it is not another galaxy title (I loved the first two, but change is always good).

This looks awesome! I am not good at drawing or anything, but this seems fun.

I like the concept, this game looks really fun! I still need to play DKC Returns!

This looks fun! Good to see that Nintendo is taking inspiration from Sonic and Allstars Racing Transformed

This is super exciting!

Oh no! Not another "release window."

Looks like the 3D mario might be heading back to his roots!

Just one more year and that won't be secret medicine in his potion bottle anymore.....

It seems like reviews of NES, SNES games have been pretty low lately. Although I have never payed Ghosts 'n Goblins before so I would not know how it stacks up.

A new Tekken? Already?!?

I guess this isn't too unreasonable.

Clever! This will attract early support while continuing to be a profitable endeavor.

Its great for Nintendo to have such a great 3rd party company supporting its Wii U endeavor (when many others are indifferent, at BEST). I will probably pick up Legends and Watchdogs.

This is awesome, if not very surprising. I am excited for E3 and the whole flood of NL articles that will come with it!

This is definitely understandable. I hope that he gets something new to do after the main Zelda game on Wii U.

Awesome! This game looks really fun. I have been excited for it ever since I first heard about it.

My oh my that game looks beautiful! Makes me REALLY want to get a 3DS to complement my Wii U.

"Nintendo should have their IP on every platform. Otherwise a whole generation of young people will miss out on their games."

Who cares? If young people want to play the games they can get Nintendo consoles (which are usually much less expensive). This would be a terrible business decision for Nintendo, and would greatly harm Wii U sales. Not gonna happen!

Just bought this. I really liked it. For the most part the orchestration is very effective. I like how Burks jazzes up some spots and plays around with the tunes and harmonies. His use of dissonance in the Red and Blue track is really effective. In some spots the orchestration/arrangement can be a little rough, but for the most part this is a really good album. I REALLY enjoyed it. Any self-respecting fan of the Pokemon series should own this.

Here is the Red and Blue track: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iB7qHNrRX08

As soon as I heard this I bought the album on iTunes to support the artist.

If I had known about this, I would have made sure to hang on to at least one of my GCN controllers!

Great... I feel like I got kinda duped. Should have gone with deluxe....

There better be a LOT of games coming out this year! I have been really patient, and many other people on the fence would not share that patience. Kick it into high gear Nintendo!

This looks pretty fun! If I'm not mistaking, this is the highest scoring AC on Nintendo Life. I might have to pick it up! I really liked Wild World.

Ooooooooh, do you play as a villain? Niiiiiiiiice!

My favorite controller (and console) was the N64. So many good memories!

Great price! Sadly I cannot do any e-shop purchases until I get an external hard drive for my basic set....

"He [Pachter] feels that the Wii U could see a reduction of $50 in North America as Nintendo aims to boost sales... He says that such a move should come before the holiday season."

I have been anticipating something like this for quite some time. It would be wise of Nintendo to do a price cut in order to emphasize the likely advantage Wii U will have of being the least expensive current generation console.

"We continue to believe that Nintendo misfired with the Wii U, and believe that the next-generation of consoles will see a market share shift from Nintendo platforms to Microsoft and Sony platforms."

Honestly I cannot see that many people shifting to Microsoft after the X-Box One reveal. If Nintendo loses anybody to another company, it would be to Sony. That said, I think this holiday season will mark a renaissance for the Wii U.

"In the aggregate, we think that the installed base of next-generation of home consoles at a similar point in the cycle will be smaller than the current generation, likely by 10-20%."

This seems like a very reasonable claim to me.

"However, the composition will be much different, with Sony and Microsoft each selling 85- 100 million home consoles (compared to approximately 75 million each in the current cycle)..."

Honestly I do not see any of the current generation consoles selling this much. MAYBE Sony will, but I highly doubt that the X-Box One will sell this well.

"... Nintendo selling 50 million or fewer (compared to approximately 100 million in the current cycle)."

This also seems like a reasonable claim to me. I think Wii U will sell better than the game cube, but not nearly as well as Wii. 40 million if I had to make a rough, uninformed guess.

"We continue to expect handheld hardware sales to decline over the next few years, as many non-traditional gamers consider smartphone and tablet games a perfect substitute for casual games played on dedicated handheld hardware."

Seems like a good assumption.

"While we believe this news is bad for third-party game publishers focused on the Nintendo 3DS, there are few publishers remaining who are focused in any meaningful way on the 3DS."

This statement just seems flat out incorrect. The 3DS is doing quite well.

I don't know why there is all the soreness towards Pachter. Disagree with him all you want, but he is just doing is job: analysis. His statements are just his analysis based on what he knows. In terms of consoles I am a Nintendo exclusive gamer. I am also a fan of the 'Pach-Attack!' show. I think that for the most part he provides accurate, humorous analysis of the gaming industry. Of course he does occasionally say things that seem bizarre to me (like his prediction of how well the Sony/Microsoft consoles will sell and his statements about the 3DS), but I do not understand the anger directed towards Mr. Pachter. He is just doing his job. I am sure he is probably a pretty good guy.

I just want to know what the platinum gift is this year. I want it to be something cool because I have spent tons of money on Nintendo games this last year haha.

Bring out the shovels! Although it might not be that bad. Maybe younger players will enjoy it.

Awesome! Next Level seems like a great company. I look forward to seeing what they work on in the future. I feel that they would make a great second party developer for Nintendo.
