Just now I realize he probably knew the cancer could still have effects, and still he kept working, and always having a smile on his face when in public, and lighthearted enough to do the stuff we see in the Digital Events. An inspiration.
What Nintendo and some people here don't realize is that NX will compete with PS5, not 4. I noticed in an interview with Reggie they actually think this gen will be as long as the last one. The out of touch is real. At least we'll get a new Mario masterpiece with this system.
@Towelie You did get the entire game. This is a new product developed after Smash Bros, and they are not going to make it (money and time invested) to give it away for free. A little pricey, yes, but this is like the expansions that have existed for ages. People think DLC is necessarily something different.
@sinalefa I tried to complete a coup with him but I couldn't. xD Thank God Miyamoto cancelled the Wapeach they were going to make for Mario Tennis. Waluigi isn't cute/funny or anything. Just ugly.
They are horrible...and why are they so unprofessional? They don't even have a voice over. They are really bland. Have you seen the japanese ones? Showing gameplay the whole time, and a voice over that basically makes you think "This game is the most important thing ever".
The NA ones are pretty good too.
I'd say Retro is working on a new IP, so they decided to do a portable Metroid. I think Metroid is kind of a risk right now? So a portable entry is cheaper.
@lividd3ad "For what it's worth, lack of inclusion IS oppression. Lacking in black characters is racism, disallowing same-sex marriage is homophobia; you're essentially taking away (or simply not providing) rights that people should have."
I understand what you mean, but I think that makes sense in life simulation games only. The Mario games have their own fictional characters. We play them, they don't represent us.
This is so stupid, it almost depresses me. How can somebody say something so stupid? And how I hate the fact that according to some you need "different types of humans". Wait, different types? Isn't that just dividing humans in groups? What if they just include the human characters they want to and we see them as a represantation of humanity as a whole. Because we are all the same, right?
@ajcismo It's the same in Spain. The primary reason Wii U fails is because casuals don't know it exists. I can't understand why there is no ads on TV. And their projection shows they've given up? There should be MK8 ads running on my TV right now. It makes me angry.
At this point it seems they don't want to sell the Wii U. Sad we won't have the xcitement of a conference during the Zelda trailer. Iwata, I gave you a chance, but...Go back making games at Hal.
@Doma Ummm...That was unnecessary? No people don't buy the Wii U just for MK, but its release is a good moment to buy it. MK was stale until MK8. Also it's a racer lol. What do you expect?

Re: Mercedes DLC Confirmed for Mario Kart 8 in the West
Am I the only one that thinks that this is funny but that a character like Waluigi should not be in the same game as Rosalina?
Re: Mercedes DLC Confirmed for Mario Kart 8 in the West
@Mega719 They think it doesn't fit in the game, when there are already tons of things that don't fit. In other words...this fits.

Re: Reaction: Mario Kart 8 Accused Of Poor Sales Potential, Ruining Battle Mode And Racism
@lividd3ad What is normal though in a Mario game?
I think the representation needs to occur somewhere else, not necessarily in Mario games.
Re: Reaction: Mario Kart 8 Accused Of Poor Sales Potential, Ruining Battle Mode And Racism
@Damo That the Mushroom Kingdom is boring (?).

Re: Reaction: Mario Kart 8 Accused Of Poor Sales Potential, Ruining Battle Mode And Racism
@Light I think with good marketing MK8 can really help Wii U. Maybe not that much, but it can help. I hope so.
Re: Reaction: Mario Kart 8 Accused Of Poor Sales Potential, Ruining Battle Mode And Racism
@Light 6 million.
Re: Reaction: Mario Kart 8 Accused Of Poor Sales Potential, Ruining Battle Mode And Racism
@617Sqn 100 000?
3D World sold like 2 million.
There are 6 million Wii U owners.

I think it would be Pok-ken, because ken is a japanese word (fist).
Like Tek-ken (Iron Fist) or the Tek-ken Fun Sai in Kill la Kill.

I just knew there would be one.

Re: Nintendo To Market Mario Kart 8 Through The End Of The Year
@unrandomsam I never thought luck was that big a factor in MK8 though. You learn to play, and you win more often. That's what I've observed.

@DimetriWarrior Yep. xD

I'd say it's an objetive truth that MK is the most fun racer.
