Glee isn't even that bad; the first season, anyways.

I guess I might just hold off on it. Hopefully it comes overseas, and I'll just wait to get it for cheap off of Amazon eventually.

@unrandomsam That's the thing, I doubt it would be worth their time and money. You have to realize how easily an NES game is replicated due to how simple it is, SNES uses much larger, more detailed sprites and backgrounds in it's game, as well as more complicated and precise physics, especially in stuff like Pilotwings and Starfox, which navigate in a 3D enviroment.

@unrandomsam Again, NES Remix has a small independent studio working on it, WarioWare had a big studio working inside Nintendo making it. Not to mention the Starfox boss in Smooth Moves is obviously sloppily put together. It works for what it is, but it is not faithful to the original visually whatsoever. The appeal of NES Remix is that it feels authentic, legitimate.

@unrandomsam WarioWare had five second minigames that could be replicated easily to mimic the game, it didn't have to be the whole thing. NES Remix developers obviously rebuild the entire game from scratch, since NES Remix relies solely on the games themselves for their timed minigames. It saves them time to rebuild the entire game, especially with the Remix minigames, but that's the thing, they'd have to rebuild the engines for these huge SNES games (Starfox comes to mind as the one to give the most trouble), which doesn't seem like it'd be worth their time, considering the time they'd have to put into it. They're an independent studio, unlike the creators of WarioWare.

@bizcuthammer I already doubt a SNES Remix. NES games are terribly simple to remake, SNES games have Mode 7, and occasionally Super FX.

They're actually not his children, but I literally screamed when they were announced. So happy.

@WaxxyOne It's just one guy working on it, dude. Chill.

Oh my gosh, The Lame of Us. Are we all five year olds, here?

@Lord You don't seem to be understanding the problem at hand...

Practically everyone here defending the Gamepad doesn't seem to have read the article thoroughly. The idea does not call for the entire removal of the Gamepad, they are simply saying it should be put to the side as an extra peripheral. I think it's a great idea, and I am failing to see how it'll put Nintendo in danger. It can't do anything but help them, and sadly, it's their fault for lousy advertising and misuse of the gamepad.

Only a fraction of my Wii U library have I sat through with the Gamepad. Yes, some of you beg to differ, but this is not suggesting entire removal of the Gamepad! It is simply suggesting it to be an extra peripheral, so yes, you'd still have your off tv play. Anyone who bought one and wanted off tv play could just purchase a gamepad from the store.

You know, this could've been avoided if Nintendo first party devs were smarter about the gamepad. Off tv play is fine but not necessary, I have only played two titles that have wowed me with the gamepad, and those were Nintendo Land and Game and Wario. If Nintendo would use it more, I'd say keep it, but goodness, look at Tropical Freeze! I didn't know it BLACKED OUT the gamepad entirely. Are you serious? They've put so much focus into Wiimote controls with that game, and I've had enough, it's ridiculous. If you won't tell your devs to start using the console properly, Nintendo, then drop the gamepad as the primary controller. It'll save you a lot of money; around 100 dollars frankly. That's a stellar price drop.

@gatorboi352 The Ouya was a huge mistake, and does not represent all or any independent video game developers. It is also completely unrelated to the development of independent games.

Isn't "shot down" a better title for this? It wasn't even started, and I was a bit misled and upset with Nintendo upon reading the article's title.

@Technosphile It is ugly, the graphics are lazy with the excuse that it "looks retro." But behind the visuals is actually a really well crafted open world sandbox with hours of enjoyment. You don't just build, you explore, you hunt, you mine, you survive. If you're not the building type, the survival mode alone is a grand experience, with just the right amount of difficulty, and plenty to discover.

Guys, listen! This game isn't THAT bad! I wouldn't even call it bad! For a F2P smartphone game, it's gorgeous, fun, and has a lot of thought put into it. The mix of puzzle and rpg makes combat incredibly interesting, this game had me at the edge of my seat for a month.

I'm really glad it did so well, and I can't wait to hear of a US release.

Probably just announcing Cranky Kong and showing some footage of him.

@sillygostly She plays differently, I dont see how it's a waste of time. I think it's awesome that I'll be able to use the spin attack from Galaxy again. Different playstyles, dude!

@Conellossus Actually that was a fib by the team so they could close the project and go work on Terraria.

Also, anyone saying Nintendo could have hired this guy doesn't seem to understand how anything works.

This looks so great. So many new enemies...

I'm sure them being sold out isn't a sign of huge sales, since retailers probably didnt order too many, but this is a good sign regardless.

I think it's a different situation, honestly. Not too comparable.

How did this get two stars?

Thank goodness. It was a pain sitting there for ten minutes twiddling my thumbs when I took a plane earlier this year. Next time I fly, I hope it wont be the same.

It's on my list, no question about it...

@Le_Gazman I mean, you're not obligated to purchase. I certainly don't mind the price set for these old games.

good. I've been waiting for the price to drop so I can rebuy it digitally.

See this is a good idea, but it's not going to go anywhere if they don't advertise! Which they're done a HORRENDOUS job at for this poor console.

They've took them down since they garnered attention from these Nintendo media outlets. How funny.

Eugh. Imagine what kind of stuff Nintendo had to see run through their pipelines. That's a scary thought.

Eh. They haven't released anything that interests me in a while, so whatever.

I wonder if making the tablet an optional but big feature would help in any way... if they went and made U Pros and Wiimotes the main controllers.

Hnnngh so much hype for this game.

@Pachterkid I actually took you seriously until you said Xbox One will beat Wii U in sales. 0/10 try harder.

This all seems fishy... I wouldn't trust these people with money, not only do they present their concept unprofessionally, but they don't even have permission from Capcom, yet they present it as a new Ghosts and Goblins to increase it's attention.

Sonic and Ecco. Maybe Altered Beast and SoR!

Nicalis truly is milking a good game dead. Do they have no shame?

This is silly and you're all overreacting. This doesn't affect me. I'll still buy it if its ever on sale.

@gatorboi352 Yep. Wii U will fail because Ghosts didn't have a spreadsheet! Oookay!

What? Nintendo worked extra hard to make updating games very accessible. What's the problem? Do they maybe not want to upset the PS3 and 360 owners?

aw, but it would be great for Nintendo to take the idea and make a bunch more. I definitely want one, and I'm going to be keeping an eye on his site for updates on any possible selling of the modded 2DS.

You heard it here, folks. Miyamoto says online play is achieveable, they just dont want to.

No more hardware excuses.

Arkham City, no question!

I just wanted to point out you're not really missing out on much with a Basic, even with a 32gb model, you're going to need to buy an external hard drive eventually. I have a Basic, and I dont regret it. The Wii U was meant to be white, anyways.

Buying this after I beat the console version.

@Goginho there's a reason Nintendo is only letting the press show certain levels. The smaller, hectic ones that are more multiplayer oriented are probably the only ones they'll allow to be shown. Keep in mind that the multiplayer here is the selling point.

@WanderFan91 what? in no way are those two related besides the developer. if any game by Treasure is GH's spiritual successor, it's probably Sin and Punishment.

He'll be happy to hear Nintendo allows for free updates. The only issue would be the approval time honestly, but other than that...

I would get it if it was an XL. So tempting...

The 2DS is actually really good, it feels great and has awesome battery life.

Eh. Would be nice if all the Wiis just disppear. Wii U can play all Wii games ans then some. People looking for a Wii would have to get a U instead.

Also everyone has a Wii by now, but I've seen people go in store to buy a second one for their house. Wiis are still popular, strangely.

I think Nintendo unexpectedly hit a gold mine when they created the Wii. I doubt they were expecting it, I'm sure it wasn't in the plans that their idea was going to be the best selling console of the generation by such a long run. But, of course, it was nothing more than just an experiment gone right.

The Wii U is also an experiment... have they hit another gold mine? No. Are they going to? I doubt it. If this game changing idea was as brilliant to people as the Wii was, it would be selling a lot better right now. I know Nintendo has put little to no effort into advertising, so that's also part of the problem.

I think the main issue is they're trying to cater to two completely different audiences. They're trying to tend to their core audience again, after neglecting us a bit last generation, while also bringing in their casual audience from the Wii era, and I don't think it's working out. I mean, they could still figure it out, it's not too late. I don't know how they're going to do it, but if they figure it out... hey! Good for them!

I think in the end, they'll realize the audience they tapped into last gen is gone, and the Wii U will just be another N64, another Gamecube. And that's totally fine! There's an audience for that! As long as they focus all their energy to deliver great titles, I'm sure gamers who mock it now will come back and give it a try, hopefully realize it's not another failed gimmick, enjoy it, spend some money on it. It's not a bad console at all! It's the perfect gaming console, it feels great, it looks great, and it has a lot of brilliant minds developing for it. It's just not the Wii's successor. But it's not doomed for failure. I think the Wii U is going to be fine, it just launched at the wrong time.
