Yes. 3-team splatfests sound awesome, and the Salmon Run additions sound great, too. BUT, is anyone else super disappointed that of the 12 multiplayer maps, only 5 of them are new? Seems kinda ridiculous. I feel like for a new game(especially one based around multiplayer), the majority of the maps should be new
What's with the Code Name: STEAM hate? Steam looked like it would be an awesome game and it was an awesome game. This new game looks like pretty boring.
I'm not a fan of motion controls. I probably wouldn't have bought a Wii U if it was just Wii HD....Gamepad is definitely preferred to the wiimote for me.
I'm definitely meant for Conquest, but I ordered Birthright. Since I plan on playing both I figured I would rather play through the easier game first. I imagine Birthright wouldn't be as much fun (for someone like me) right after playing through Conquest.
Either way, I'm sure both will be great games and I can't wait!
This gen gets 4 Zelda remakes, and just 1 new game. Ugh.
At least the Ocarina of Time/Majora's Mask remakes made some sense as they weren't playable on handhelds before, but Twilight Princess is still playable on the Wii U. For a group of fans that always seem to claim that graphics aren't that important, there sure seem to be a lot of people overly-excited to shell out $50-60 for a game that they already own, just to see it with better visuals.
Some of the greatest games ever made. I've had plenty of great memories from playing Mario games over the years, and I'm sure there will be many more to come.
I never played NSMB2, and I only got NSMBU for my free download with Mario Kart 8. I thought U was a fun game. Nothing amazing or anything, but just solid 2D platforming.
I remember first playing this at a friends house, and up to that point my gaming experience consisted of Game Boy and SNES. What an amazing experience it was playing Super Mario 64 for the first time(and every other time).
While I always want a new 3D Mario game, I'd much rather see something other than a new Galaxy game. Two of them were enough, let's get something entirely new or something more like 64 or Sunshine.
Arguably my favorite Nintendo game of all time, right up there with Advance Wars 1 and SM64. Campaign has great length and replayability. The war room and map editor help make this game never get old. I'm a huge fan of this game(obviously), and still to this day frequently go back to playing it.
A new Advance Wars is right on top of my video game wishlist.

Re: Random: We've Been Waiting Over Half A Decade For A "New" Mainline Zelda Game
@Nintenbot
Thanks for the recommendations! I'll definitely check those games out
Re: Random: We've Been Waiting Over Half A Decade For A "New" Mainline Zelda Game
I'm more bummed that it's almost a full decade(9 years) since the last new top-down Zelda, and there's no end in sight for that wait :/
Re: Talking Point: Has Nintendo Done Enough To Justify Splatoon 3's Existence?
Yes. 3-team splatfests sound awesome, and the Salmon Run additions sound great, too.
BUT, is anyone else super disappointed that of the 12 multiplayer maps, only 5 of them are new? Seems kinda ridiculous. I feel like for a new game(especially one based around multiplayer), the majority of the maps should be new
Re: Video: This Unofficial Pokémon Advert Has a Beautiful Message for Older Sun and Moon Trainers
Wow, very well done. I love the small touch of the Ken Griffey Jr, Nintendo Power cover....that definitely hit a spot.
Also, seeing the cover of the card binder with the drawings, I had to do a double take to make sure that it wasn't mine!
Re: The Stages for the Final Splatfest Have Been Announced
Moray Towers is my least favorite stage...didn't realize it was so highly ranked by others.
Kelp Dome and Walleye Warehouse are good, though.
Re: Activision Was Closer To Owning Rare Than You Might Think
Looking at those screens from Nuts & Bolts.... what an abomination. ugh.

Re: E3 2016: Nintendo Reveals Ever Oasis for the 3DS
What's with the Code Name: STEAM hate? Steam looked like it would be an awesome game and it was an awesome game. This new game looks like pretty boring.
Re: Nintendo Unveils Massive E3 eShop Sale in North America
I've been thinking of picking up Majora's Mask for 3DS lately, so might as well do it now at that price.
Re: Hardware Classics: Game Boy Pocket
Man, my Game Boy Pocket is in such bad condition compared to the one in the pictures. It's my only handheld that ever got all scuffed up.
Many great times spent back then with my GB Pocket and Link's Awakening...

Re: Soapbox: Nintendo Was Wrong To Turn Its Back On The Wii Remote
I'm not a fan of motion controls. I probably wouldn't have bought a Wii U if it was just Wii HD....Gamepad is definitely preferred to the wiimote for me.

Re: Random: Nintendo Releases a Quirky Fire Emblem Fates Flowchart for Choosing Between Birthright and Conquest
I'm definitely meant for Conquest, but I ordered Birthright. Since I plan on playing both I figured I would rather play through the easier game first. I imagine Birthright wouldn't be as much fun (for someone like me) right after playing through Conquest.
Either way, I'm sure both will be great games and I can't wait!
Re: Review: Fire Emblem Fates (3DS)
So excited for this game! Amazon should be shipping my copy sometime today!
Re: New North American Nintendo Selects Range Emerges in Retailer Listings
Looks like I'll finally be getting 3D World.
Re: Poll: Which Nintendo Franchises Do You Most Want to See With the NX Launch?
My top wish for a handheld is ADVANCE WARS
My top wish for a home console would be a new 3D Mario like SM64 or Sunshine
Re: Game of the Year: Nintendo Life's Reader Awards 2015
Can't believe that Codename: STEAM didn't make the top 5 3DS Retail games...
Re: Nintendo Shows Off Splatoon's New Upcoming Stages Through the Art of Dance
I approve. Cool video
Re: Nintendo of America Lines Up Some Last Minute Festive Deals
I picked up Omega Ruby for $25 from Target...good deal. The last time I bought a Pokemon game was Yellow!

Re: Nintendo Remains Bullish Around the 3DS and Its Future Prospects
I love my 3DS so I'm fine with this news. Hopefully give Intelligent Systems enough time to get an Advance Wars for 3DS out!

Re: Nintendo of America Confirms Its Black Friday eShop Cyber Deals
I love Nintendo, but they are so so bad at doing sales.
Re: The Slosher Deco is Splashing Into Splatoon on 25th November
Slosher is my main, and I might try this out but won't make the full time switch. You can't make me give up my inkstrike!!!
Re: Editorial: Linkle May be a Clunky Introduction For a 'Female Link', But Opens Up Interesting Possibilities
I really hope that in the next Mario game, I get to play as "Maria." It's been 30 years, we need a change! Super Maria Sis.
Re: It's Pirates vs. Ninjas in the Next North American Splatoon Splatfest
Team Tetra!
Re: Talking Point: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD Would be No Surprise, as Nostalgia Rules for Nintendo
@bezerker99 Agreed.
This gen gets 4 Zelda remakes, and just 1 new game. Ugh.
At least the Ocarina of Time/Majora's Mask remakes made some sense as they weren't playable on handhelds before, but Twilight Princess is still playable on the Wii U. For a group of fans that always seem to claim that graphics aren't that important, there sure seem to be a lot of people overly-excited to shell out $50-60 for a game that they already own, just to see it with better visuals.
Re: Super Smash Bros. 'Digital Complete Pack' Combines Game and DLC for Wii U and 3DS
Nintendon't know how to do sales/discounts. I'm sure if you wait another month, you'll be able to get a full $2 extra off on Black Friday. :/
Re: Feature: The Biggest 3DS Games of 2015 - Q4 Edition
Pretty disappointing list....Steamworld Heist is the only game here that has my interest.
Re: Major 3DS Games Are Heading for Discounts in the Next Nintendo Selects Range
Of course this gets announced just a week after I finally got A Link Between Worlds(at full price). Grrr
Re: Reminder: It's Super Mario's 30th Anniversary
Some of the greatest games ever made. I've had plenty of great memories from playing Mario games over the years, and I'm sure there will be many more to come.
Re: Mario History: New Super Mario Bros. 2 & U - 2012
I never played NSMB2, and I only got NSMBU for my free download with Mario Kart 8. I thought U was a fun game. Nothing amazing or anything, but just solid 2D platforming.
Re: Mario Memories: The Incredible Impact of Super Mario 64
I remember first playing this at a friends house, and up to that point my gaming experience consisted of Game Boy and SNES. What an amazing experience it was playing Super Mario 64 for the first time(and every other time).
Re: Mario History: Super Mario Galaxy 2 - 2010
Galaxy 2 was a good game, but I didn't enjoy it as much as the 1st Galaxy or either of the earlier 3D Mario games.
As DarthNocturnal said earlier in these comments: "Please let the next 3D Mario not be Galaxy 3..."
Re: Shigeru Miyamoto Wants to Produce Another Super Mario Galaxy, But is Waiting for the Right Opportunity
While I always want a new 3D Mario game, I'd much rather see something other than a new Galaxy game. Two of them were enough, let's get something entirely new or something more like 64 or Sunshine.
Re: Gallery: Mario - A History of Power-Ups, Fashion and Wardrobe Missteps
No love for the Metal Cap from SM64? That was a cool one.
Re: Mario History: Super Mario Galaxy - 2007
Definitely a great game, but for many reasons I didn't like it as much as SM64 or Sunshine. I did like it better than SMG2 and SM3DW, though.
Re: Poll: Which Is The Best Super Mario Platformer? - 30th Anniversary Edition
Team Super Mario 64
Re: Mario History: Super Mario 64 DS - 2004
I still remember being so blown away when this came out. An N64 game on a handheld?!?!?! Good times.
Re: Mario History: Super Mario Sunshine - 2002
Loved this game....my 2nd favorite 3D Mario. I like it more than both Galaxy games, but not as much as SM64.
Re: Review: Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising (Wii U eShop / GBA)
Arguably my favorite Nintendo game of all time, right up there with Advance Wars 1 and SM64. Campaign has great length and replayability. The war room and map editor help make this game never get old. I'm a huge fan of this game(obviously), and still to this day frequently go back to playing it.
A new Advance Wars is right on top of my video game wishlist.
