I like games where the fun lies in the different ways you can finish the game. Chrono Trigger is an excellent example. It has like a dozen different endings I think?
Unless they wanted to depict E. Honda as an imperialistic nationalist (and in turn Japanese imperialism as a neutral ideology) it was a good decision to remove the rising sun.
@Averagewriter none of the articles you posted named Anita Sarkeesian as a reason for those people getting fired, I can't find it at least. Maybe you're thinking of someone else?
@Averagewriter Sarkeesian is the one saying things you don't like, and Naughty Dog is harmed by anti-SJWs for having a different opinion? Is that what you mean?
The composer for this game is the very talented Dominic Ninmark. He's also the composer of the OST to Rival Megagun that's coming out for the Switch the 29th.
The Mario idea is an excellent way to spread information to a lot of people, but I think the video could have done much better in conveying the hardships the refugees are facing. Thanks for the article btw.
It's not that Nintendo fans have anything against new IP:s. They have something against bad or average new IP:s.
Splatoon to me, is way more cool and interesting than Codename STEAM, both in style, design and gameplay. I wanted to give it a chance, I tried the demo, but it didn't work out for me.
Pleasantly surprised to see the love for DK in the comment section. This game really helped me get through dark times in both spring and summer. Beautiful visuals, great music, superb control and level design, and all the characters are so funny, they make me feel like a 7-year old again.
The bearded kid did pretty well. I liked his approach with the game and how cool and analytic he was with every new element. Loved his way of learning the controls. Sometimes, adults could learn a thing or two from young people.
How hard could it be? Just make a bigger semi-clone of Charizard.
Accuracy in Smash Bros games? Yeah, sure, and jet-heels and Captain Falcondorf.
And Smash fans were really happy about the stage bosses, like the Yellow Devil. Right, Sakurai?
I like Sakurai, but it seems like he always take the path of MOST resistance all the time. Instead of the Smash Board-game, why not just add Team Battles, like Tekken? Why not have customizable rules in Smash Run? I don't understand him at all.
Happy that he's showing solidarity with the Fukushima farmers. I wouldn't mind a new Earthbound game though, or a release of Earthbound Zero and Earthbound 2.
As many others have said: bad marketing from Bergsala AB. I'm swedish and I've never been interested in Tomodachi Life, it looks like a less fun, less charming Animal Crossing. I've seen some mainstream media portray Nintendo negatively, and they took their chance with Tomodachi Life's gay marriage-controversy.
Aftonbladet, one of Swedens largest newspapers headlined their review of Tomodachi Life with "Memorable - for the wrong reasons. Intolerance overshadows the charms of Tomodachi Life"
I've never heard that Nintendo have problems with limited character slots and how adding a new character kicks out other character. Can someone explain this to me?
Don't want Nintendo kart. ROB was fine, Kirby ok, Captain Falcon is my limit. I don't even want to think about adding Link, Samus, Pit or any other universe. Just continue make more varied race tracks and bring back Birdo, Bowser Jr, Dry Bones and Diddy Kong. Add Pauline, Capt. Syrup, Mona, Ashley, Dixie Kong, Cranky Kong and then we're done. Make new cups so we can have 5 standard cups and 5 retro cups
@element187 Because maximizing profits and making good games, while related, are completely different things. People like it when their favorite vg-company makes money, but just because a game sells well to a large crowd, it doesn't mean that it provides better content to the average gamer. You don't have to be a marxist or anti-capitalist to think that.

Re: Controversial Rising Sun Design Removed From Street Fighter II's Re-Release
Triggering right-wingers seems to draw lots of traffic to Nintendo Life. 500 comments this time, impressive!
Btw. Capcom should have gone with the sun from SFV instead of a blank wall. It looks so dull without one.
Re: Controversial Rising Sun Design Removed From Street Fighter II's Re-Release
Didn't know Nintendo Life had so many Japanese imperialism apologists, lol. Good luck!

Without his mustache, he looks much younger, just a little bit older than Fix-it Felix, so yeah, mid to late 20s sounds accurate to me.
