@unrandomsam Um, I think I've heard somewhere that they have a different method, but I am not that informed. But since I've heard bad stuff about Metacritic I thought that maybe a less popular site is more serious.
We need this guy from the Wario Land book to teach us real game criticism.
@jhohaness I miss the old days, when EVERY game was supposed to be for kids. Now we have that division that doesn't make sense. "Hey, it has a Hollywood-esque plot and blood, it's mature." Mario games are mature. They have artistic value.
@ULTRA-64 But the casual public is formed by adults. The easiness doesn't have anything to do with kids. What does easiness have to do with kids?
And the levels are short because it is a fast paced platformer. Not every platformer is supposed to be stressful. SMB 1 is great, but you'll die a lot. 3D World is a more relaxing game (at the beginning), you continue, see different levels with different ideas, then it becomes challenging.
@jhohaness It just isn't. It's a japanese game, where the chartoon style is popular. I don't see the game targeting children. I don't think a kid appreciates the beautiful soundtracks these games have, for example.
Miyamoto also said in a Iwata Asks that these games are not targeting kids, 50 year old people play these games, so there isn't any childish content.
@Agent721 I doubt that LoU beats 3D World. They can be both just as good. 3D World is perfect at what it does, I'll have to play Last of Us to see if it's plot deserves to be called a masterpiece.
BTW, a Zelda Lego set would be awesome, and the possibility of a TT Zelda game, with that silly comedy, and they've showed they don't need voices in their games.
Sorry that this is off-topic, but I need to know if this is true: This web says that Smash Bros is coming the endo of this year, it has a quote from Miyamoto, and it's real, its from here: http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/library/events/140130qa/02.html
But does the quote really say that? I don't trust Google translator.
I still think it's coming in spring. I speak german and the Nintendo employee clearly said "for Spring we have Mario Kart and Smash Bros." And now they have changed the article...what the guy actually said! They probably want it to be a surprise for a Direct.
I don't know why people are so confused about the development time of Smash Bros. Releasing in spring would mean a development time of 2 years, just like Brawl.
I don't own a Wii U yet. I would like to get one this christmas with Super Mario 3D World, which looks masterpiecy. A question: Could it happen that if Nintendo doesn't sale they discontinue the console and we spent the money for nothing? C'mon Nintendo! 3D Land and Mario Kart made 3DS what it is today. 3D World and MK8 should do the same for Wii U!

Re: Wii U and 3DS Nintendo Direct Confirmed for 13th February

Re: Super Mario 3D World and Animal Crossing: New Leaf Up For BAFTA Awards
@unrandomsam Do you know GameRankings? What do you think of that?
Re: Super Mario 3D World and Animal Crossing: New Leaf Up For BAFTA Awards
Mario 3D World isn't in game design. Who selects these things?
Re: Mario 3D World And Zelda: Link Between Worlds Honoured At The New York Video Game Critics Awards
@AdanVC 3D World is a work of art, music, visuals, everything is outstanding. These games will be remembered.

If it was a kids game, I wouldn't be playing it.

This is a hoax, right?

Re: Nintendo Scoops Two Awards at D.I.C.E
@Agent721 I like games in general, not just Nintendo, and i think Nintendo deserved a lot more.

Re: Review: Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels (Wii U eShop / NES)
@WaveBoy I thought it was just copy and paste too, but it is a perfect sequel, playing with your expectations. It's genius. Read this: http://www.destructoid.com/miyamoto-depressed-when-creating-lost-levels-suggests-nintendo-executive-47616.phtml
Search for the part where he talks about B-4.
A spoiler I guess?

今年の年末までには『大乱闘スマッシュブラザーズ』があることを考えますと、メインのフランチャイズが足りていないという問題は、今回は解決できたと思っています。
This would suck...
Re: Nintendo Confirms That Smash Bros. Isn't Lined Up for Spring
@BlueBlurIxM That could be too.
I guess I just want to play it already. xD
