I liked how they made Bernie a brawler, but it would have been funny if they pointed out that his power comes from individual donors and "lots of 'old man strength'".
@PlywoodStick
Why would you hold NL to the same standard as serious print journalism? Why equate a gaming site to the decline of investigative reporting? That's like complaining that pop tarts aren't a balanced breakfast--what were you expecting?
So glad I didn't buy TP a few months ago! I haven't played it yet or Skyward Sword, but I'll pick up that one after I play TP. I know it's supposed to be darker than most Zelda games, so I'm looking forward to that--although I was surprised to be won over by wind waker hd--I loved how colorful and cute it was especially little Link; such a badass.
@yuwarite Short answer, the reason why everyone is high on a hybrid system is because the Wii U is already a hybrid of sorts and rumors and company statements seem to point further development in this direction. Potentially there is more money to be made for Nintendo in smart phone gaming. Already this trend has marginalized the market for the Wii U and 3ds. It makes a lot of sense for Nintendo to consolidate their home console with their handheld as one product and sell that to the gamers while putting their attention to making billions off of smart phones.
If Nintendo was much more generous about releasing VC games, then 2015 would have been more tolerable. I hope they go all out on NX this year. I bought the Wii U so that I could play Nintendo software as well as the big third party releases--I don't want to have to buy multiple consoles.
If I were Reggie, I'd try to work this one out. To all the nay-sayers, did you really expect Minecraft to come to Nintendo a week ago--no, no you didn't. In fact if you told me a week ago that a Microsoft game was coming to Nintendo, I would have thought a collection of retro games would be a safer bet than a game like Minecraft.
what i like about this game is that it reminds me of the Star Trek tv series where Away Teams would explore new planets to find all sorts of bizarre people creatures and things.
I've never played a Xeno game before, but I am looking forward to getting it, given how sprawling the environments are going to be. I like the way the game looks so far, except for the people, It'll take me some time to adjust
@rjejr It's a shame, but I think you're right. Although I feel that doesn't excuse them from abandoning motion controls from games like Mario Tennis, because the WiiU is still a wii to me.
@Nintenjoe64 Couldn't agree more. I'm concerned that Nintendo will abandon motion controls with their next console. Which would be a shame; I felt that golf on the wiiu was an incredible experience using the gamepad to line your shot and gauge your power, the problem was that EA didn't make a game using those features which would have been a big hit.
The Wii U is like those affordable sports cars people drive, where the car looks nice, the people look happy in it, but there's a dinky little engine under that hood.
I wish I had this guy's job. All I got to do is say things like... "The nx will be around three hundred dollars." "The console is doomed if there's no third party support" "beans are the precursor to flatulence" Where's my money?!
@Rocky2418 They should allow us to give as many stars as we want to the music levels. I can't imagine how time consuming it has to be in order to work.
What an oversight not to have motion controls, what were they thinking?? I didn't own a wii, but when I got the wiiu I was excited about using motion controls on games (especially sports) that look great. Never really happened.
@foodmetaphors Ain't that the truth! In a perfect world we would have hd remixes of both. I was playing one of those games back in the day, and Macho Man Randy Savage made his entrance and all of a sudden he exploded into a cloud of pixels and this cloud hovered down the ramp into the center of the ring. The pixels rearranged themselves into the Macho Man just as the fireworks on the corners of the ring went off, and me and my friends, just f-ing lost it!

We should establish a petition to make Bayonetta officially Luigi's girlfriend just to make Mario jealous.

I'm glad Bayonetta made it to smash, the game was a little too cute without her, now it's slightly kinky, in a good way ; )

Re: Analysis: Assessing Why NX Needs to Take Over From Both the Wii U and 3DS
@yuwarite
Short answer, the reason why everyone is high on a hybrid system is because the Wii U is already a hybrid of sorts and rumors and company statements seem to point further development in this direction.
Potentially there is more money to be made for Nintendo in smart phone gaming. Already this trend has marginalized the market for the Wii U and 3ds.
