I am so pumped up for this game. It's exactly what I've been hoping and waiting for the last 18 years!

This just makes me want a new Geist. Retrospectively, the biggest disappointment of E3.

Isn't it Yōshi?

I agree with the above posters. @NintendoLife think you could try to find out about this content being added to Wii U?

@MitchVogel

@BLPs No. This is not a game that would sell enough to cover costs on Xbox One or PS4.

So I have to get this, Star Fox Command AND Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time? This week's gonna hurt.

But these are PURELY cosmetic, right? Still pretty cool, either way, but they haven't explicitly said.

Out of all these, I may only get Palutena and R.O.B., but I probably won't even keep the second. It will likely be mutilated so the chip can be stuck in the base of my actual R.O.B., instead.

I only hope there's a significant single player mode. If there is (maybe with some way to give commands to your squad), I'll be all in.

Can't wait for this. That was an emotionally intense trailer the likes of which hasn't been in a Fire Emblem story since Path of Radiance. I hate I'm going to have to buy two games, but I doubt I'll ultimately regret it.

This seems harsh.

Granted, I haven't played the game, so I'm sure that (like most of you) I can't actually offer a valid opinion. But I did watch all the Treehouse gameplay and saw them tackle the controls naturally. This isn't their first rodeo, I'm aware, but I'm inclined to believe the booth rep who said the controls take a few more minutes to get used to. Watching others play, once you've mastered the controls, the game looks epic and immersive and calls to mind as many Star Wars memories of Episode IV's Milleniun Falcon shootout scene, as it recalls fondness for the hundreds of hour spent in Star Fox 64.

I know I'm in the minority--in fact, I'm probably the only one--but this is still my most anticipated game of 2015 on any system.

I want this game so much, but I don't want to miss Tetra and Daphnes Hyrule and I won't be buying the game twice. I want to take advantage of the sale, but if I can't buy those two characters, then I guess I'll end up getting the 3DS game with the undoubtedly diminished scale...

No shot.

Brilliant.

I believe you meant he's the only character with two FINAL Smash attacks.

Every character has multiple smashes.

@Thatguywhoeats

Scalpels. Haha. I get it, cause your avatar is Dr. Mario. Nice. Hahaha

Some of these need to be common. I'd feel bad for everyone who spent $60 to get one, but come on. Rosalina is has exclusive content in Smash, Mario Party 10 AND Mario Kart 8. She should be as available as Peach.

Hopefully she soon will be.

I'd love little more than a good Wii U Kid Icarus. It would make me instantly shift the money I've been saving for Splatoon and Xenoblade if they announced that at E3.

@JubilifeRival <--- Yeah, what he said.

@Gen0neD Whoa, buddy. 15 million in the US, 50 million worldwide.

270 million is an insane number of machines and only applies to the total amount of all Nintendo-branded systems sold in the US. Like, NES and Game & Watch through Wii U and 3DS. The whole history.

Surely there will be a Miiverse community. There are very few games without one and it takes virtually no work at all to enable. I'm sure it just means no unique Miiverse functions like in-game interactions or whatever. We won't be seeing Miiverse posts pop up on the walls with tips on how to beat bosses, but I have no doubt we'll be able to pause the game to upload a screenshot and lament our terrible skills.

@Pahvi No, you are correct, I believe. Hyperbole and miswordings are in play, however. "Probability" is the wrong word because it implies the perfect precision of mathematics, something the real world has a nasty habit of ignoring. My point was that even all things equal (and they never are in life), it's not at all inconceivable to land a roulette wheel on red eight times in a row or that the most skilled Mario and Dr. Mario players who felt like competing in those eight specific cities on that particular day (look at how many qualifying statements have to be attached to something like this) would all just happen to be born one X chromosome too few. That's just how life works. I know I've hit the same side of a coin toss eight times in a row and there are incalculably fewer variables in that equation. Why are there no black winners? Why are there none with light hair? Why do none of them have a cleft chin? Because that's just the way it so happened to work out, not because of a flaw in society that places a glass ceiling over cleft-chinned Nintendo gamers.

And we know that there are no wild, sweeping societal conclusions we can draw from this because it's one event. Statistically AND scientifically, a single occurrence is meaningless until it is tested again and again and again ad nauseam. So my only point is that this is a poor platform for cries of gender inequality and should be taken as what it is: a literal game.

Curve really wants to get OlliOlli off the virtual shelves. First cross buy, then two copies in the Humble Bundle and now a sale immediately after. I guess they're really banking on the exposure bringing high sales for the sequel. I hope the company's doing all right.

This looks so much better than the last two Yoshi's Island games...

Also, these comments are ridiculous. Out of literally thousands of competitors, only eight were picked as winners. ONLY EIGHT. If the people involved had been exactly 50 percent men and 50 percent women, the probability that we end up with eight men is still pretty damn high. These were the ones who happened to play the best on that day at that time in those places and nothing about that fact implies in the slightest anything about gender roles or equality or the ideals of American society.

Bollocks and hogwash, people. Let it ride.

Good to see Dixie represent. And the Magic City, no less. There's a lot more top-notch gaming here than people realize.
#NintendoChampJordanD Deep Fries The Competition!

I still want the Wii U version, but I also want the Wind Waker characters... I hope they'll announce them as DLC for the people who don't buy both versions.

I think it's safe to say my colleagues and I rather enjoyed this game.

http://www.wiiwarewave.com/t4737-review-affordable-space-adventures-wii-u-eshop

Valid.

There's nothing wrong with Nintendo assuming Ike, Villager, and Little Mac won't sell well and producing fewer figures. That's logical on several levels and just good business. What is rude to fans and plain senseless business is refusing to make more when EVERY SINGLE ONE sells out. There is very clear empirical data showing the demand for these amiibo that Nintendo could easily fill and not only keep their fans happy (winning repeat business), but make more money by selling more. Obviously. Nintendo has had a long standing habit of choosing safety over risk in their business decisions, but being too safe can cost you and I think it's doing so right now.

Just because the ballot will remain active through October, doesn't mean it hasn't already produced a character or two they could confirm. Having, say, three million votes for a single character at this stage would show clear interest that wouldn't be changed by having those votes sit around for another four months.

"HD." Heh.

How good are the lessons, really? I've always wanted to be able to at least draw things that look like, well, things and I envy all my many artistic friends.

So as someone with literally zero artistic ability, will this help me improve, or would it just be money wasted? I'm really close to buying it, but I already have Creative Suite, so if this won't let me do anything more, then there's no point.

I'm gonna need this on the eShop, alongside an announcement for World of Goo HD with touch controls.

With so many big things on the horizon in my real life, any potential announcements of in-development game just aren't going to excite me this year like they did last.

Instead, I'm most looking forward to whatever shows up on the eShop DURING E3, and for that, I've got eight fingers tightly crossed for Smash Bros. DLC. Doesn't seem like much of a longshot, but it'd be a whole lotta fun.

@Ryu_Niiyama When you could instead cover enemy ink in friendly ink, what possible advantage would simply removing enemy ink serve?

@No-longer-postin You know Nintendo doesn't make the G.G. Series games, right? Do you also get mad at Nintendo when people make new NES games?

Insta-buy. Always glad to see a developer put this much heart and sweat into a project. For any system. Games like these are what makes this a great industry, so I'll absolutely be supporting.

I do use my amiibo, but I primarily purchase them for display on my and my kid's shelves. So if I were to find fake versions of Rosalina or Little Mac or Ike or Captain Falcon you bet I'd buy it, knowing full well it was illegitimate.

@DarthNocturnal You get one Wii U code and one 3DS code for OlliOlli. Using either code unlocks the other version as a free download if you have a Wii U and 3DS with the same NNID . So you get both games WITHOUT using only one code. You can then gift the other to a friend.

Steamworld Dig, however, does not already have a cross-buy promotion, so if you want the game on both your 3DS and Wii U, you have to use both codes.

Think of it like getting two copies of Steamworld Dig and four copies of OlliOlli.

There are only two games I don't have in this whole bundle, but considering it'd cost me $25 to get them separately, I can't pass this up, anyway. Some of these may end up as giveaways on WiiWareWave...

My thoughts were similar: primarily unlocking character images you could trace... but also maybe new background music based on the character's series?

Beyond that, I couldn't really think of anything, but I also haven't played any of these games (apps?) yet, so I don't have much frame of reference.

So is this an update to replace Sketchpad or separate entirely? And if it's an update, can I download Sketchpad now, then upgrade, and still qualify for the discount?

Look at Bill just FLAUNTING that Rosalina amiibo...

@Iggly

Well, it is something. Usually, the "no," answer is, "we do not have anything to announce at this time." He didn't say that, so it does leave the door open...

Looks pretty shoddy from the little bit so far, but I'll keep an open mind.

Is the eShop getting the SNES or NES version of the game? Or both?

Come on, NintendoLife. Don't go down this road. This isn't how respectable outlets write headlines. That's first year JSchool stuff. I don't visit sites with Buzzfeed-y headlines and I'd hate to have to leave this one because you posted "No one was surprised when Miyamoto walked onstage at E3... Then he said THIS." This trend wastes reader time and insults reader intelligence. And it really just makes you look desperate. And that's not a good look for you, NL.

On topic: Like others have pointed out, he's officially said the "last ditch effort" story before, so I'm gonna hope this interviewer missed some context or something. I have a feeling they probably just wanted the FF alliteration at first, but when someone suggested "Final Fantasy," it hit a little closer to home and they ran with it. At least, I hope so.

Because Flatulent Fantasy would have been a very different game.

They also missed Captain Toad coming in immediately before Super Mario 3D World.

That leads me to believe Super Mario 3D Land takes place concurrently with Captain Toad and before Super Mario 3D World, as it would explain why the toad partners the Mario Bros. team up with in the New Era are missing in 3D Land, but back in 3D World. Obviously, they were off treasure tracking again as the Toad Brigade while Mario and Luigi saved the princess in 3D Land.
