Here's hoping for the 3DS version

This sounds pretty good I wonder what other cool new mechanics they'll add to this game.

They could do some games but I say go original don't mess with your current franchises or make a game that gives people a little taste so they can eventually move on to the full experience on the Wii U.

1.2 million you know how many buckets of fried chicken I can buy with that!? I'm just so hungry right now.

Nintendo needs to get their hands on this game.

Sakurai whining about leaked cutscenes maybe games with any type of story should not be made since majority of them can be found on the interwebs.
Anyone else think this level looks a lot like Rayman? Not saying Rayman is coming.

Not playable!? Oh no! Not again!

All I say is that if they do anything on mobile devices I just hope they're original games that take full advantage of the hardware. I feel like their games could give people a little taste and it might entice them to go to the Wii U for the full console experience.

The thing is Iwata has failed before he's been around since the GC days and he's messed up before. Lately it seems like he just keeps messing up and people just keep getting apologies from him. Sure he seems charming because of Nintendo Directs but come on in a business perspective he should have been gone a while ago.

You guys drink beer!? I drink beer we have so much in common LOL.
On a serious note I think Nintendo should work more with getting some third party western support. Nintendo has secured Dragon quest, MH and other Japanese 3rd party developers but it hasn't done the same with western developers. Both Europe and the US have a bigger market than that of Japan and yet the 3DS and Wii U have sold the most in Japan. Nintendo needs to find a way to get more consoles moving in these markets.

Personally I think Nintendo can do it but they really have to step up their game and it's going to be really hard.

"Please understand" Iwata you keep messing up over and over again. I think Nintendo would benefit with someone younger, who's ambitious and understands today's current market better than you do. Clearly you do not learn from your mistakes as this article shows http://www.notenoughshaders.com/2013/04/02/satoru-iwata-hubris-versus-western-culture/ Nintendo needs to change in order to adjust to the current market and the first change should start with you, "I apologize for your inconvenience."

Pretty good beat 'em up kinda turned me off of sushi though.

This game was fun but I was disappointed only because I figured out how the game works early on. Basically you're safe if there's no ice so that took the fear out of the majority of the game. Basically you walk around in the dark but what's the point if there's no risk of something attacking you or something jumping out of that darkness.

Wow developing for the wii U in the early days must have been a mess, anyways when people have a bad experince most don't want to repeat another bad experience, sadly this is the problem with third party devs. Nintendo consoles are for Nintendo and Nintendo only. Nintendo just does their own thing and they expect everyone else to go along with them. They make consoles with weird discs, controls, or tech that's not on equal ground with other consoles and all of this makes it harder for third party devs. I think Nintendo can make it on their own but that's the thing they can only make it on their own cuz no one else wants to play with them.

Just watched the video =_=
the commentator freaks out because a girl shoved a scroll in between her boobies. Could you imagine how much he'd freak out if something worse happened?

Will ideas only be taken if they're posted right here or do we have to contact you? Anyways a lot of great choices personally I want Metroid Prime just cuz Metroid is my favorite nintendo series, also if it had an amazing online multiplayer that'd be amazing.

Is this the game that was too Japanese for western audiences?

Q4 for Nintendo summarized by me in a terrible fashion: 3DS still stayed as bad a** as ever and became even better with the addition of pokemon and Zelda. Wii U is starting to pick up not to mention Mario was like the best thing to get released this year, if Nintendo can keep up the great releases I expect it to turn around like the 3DS.

OMG 14 minutes of this crap XD

This year was just complete win for the 3DS. Besides Earthbound the Wii U was seriously lacking. Q4 is when the Wii U started to pick up a bit of steam (not much but some) mostly cuz of Mario 3D World but there's nowhere to go from here but up. 2014 The Wii U is just gonna get better esp. cuz there's just so many good games slated for 2014.

@Discostew Equality, get used to it LMAO. Women also want to objectify us.

in summary 2013 Q1:
3DS = so much awesome s***
Wii U = Fail

Knowing them it's the millionth version of Harvest Moon, no wonder they're going under.

Not bad I actually agree with your choices.

Features, talking points, and the fact that this site doesn't get crazy with rude internet people are the main reason why I love this site. keep up the good work guys you're doing an amazing job.

Bayonetta 2 and Smash I WANT THEM!!!
X looks intriguing and MK 8 = meh but I'll take it.

I want a Shenmue game so badly.

Bought both Denpa Men games, they were fun but idk the games are pretty DQ but lighter and simpler and no story. They can get pretty boring quickly.

I hope it's not cult county it was supposed to be a horror game right? I don't want another FPS/horror combo they just never work out. Too much focus on the shooting and not enough focus on the horror. And I hope the game supports Circle Pad Pro it only makes the gameplay better (well for those who don't like using the touch screen). As for the other games I wonder what they may be hope they're cool.

I could see another Castlevania appearing on the 3DS but on the Wii U there's just no way. Nintendo Fanboys can live in their magical world believing the Wii U is perfect in every way but the reality is that After the SNES, Nintendo consoles have only been used to play games made by Nintendo and no one else. Third parties just can't find an audience on Nintendo home consoles which is pretty sad, IDK how Nintendo can win 3rd parties but I hope there's a way.
Also isn't it weird that their home consoles have no third party support but their handheld consoles do why is that? Is the market just that different between the 2?

This was the first fire emblem I did not get bored of more than halfway through. They really did do a great job, I still need to finish the DLC though.

I WANT IT!!! I need it!!! Why haven't they said anything about it in the US!?

I still can't get past Hyrule Warriors, I guess it's just because Dynasty Warriors is either a series you like or you hate and I hate it.

She looks interesting in the way she plays. Also if there is no new Kirby's Air Ride or Kirby on MK 8 Sakurai is officially one of the greatest trolls ever.

This game is amazing also it was odd seeing stuff posted on social sites. I had never done it but just seeing how everyone else had some interesting pictures it made me want to start posting my own and then it actually made some of my friends want to buy it and they had pics of their own the Animal Crossing madness is addictive.

That reminds me, is Final Fight still not out in the U.S.

I just wanna know if the lack of originality is that bad. There are some games that can just be terrible because of that reason and I'm wondering if this is one of those games.

I wonder how many people kept using the original Wii Fit everyday both my friends bought it initially and used it a lot (initially) but then it just ended up tucked away under the bed indefinitely. I did not buy the original cuz before I lost a lot of weight (50+ lbs thru healthy eating and exercise) I was probably too heavy for the balance board, although now I'm at a good weight to use one so maybe I'll get wii fit U? Anyways back on to my topic the Pedometer might be a good idea because people love to walk/jog/run and that's usually the one exercise most people don't give up on and the pedometer might give more incentive to people.

IDK the game looks like it brings nothing new to the table, giant eggs????

Why? I guess they want money because Dynasty Warriors is just a flashy looking button masher I mean there's no real strategy or depth to it. I know the games sell but a game like Zelda does not lend itself to mindless repetitive button mashing. What's worse is you can tell all these enemies are going to be as dumb as bricks just like the ones in actual Dynasty Warriors games. When will Nintendo learn that other companies should not go near their franchises.

I feel like there really is no need for advertising increasing the users on Miiverse is a good idea but I feel like Miiverse is fine the way it is in terms of advertisement. I mean it's basically people just talking about a game and usually that gets other people to wonder what all the fuss is about.

@HugoSmits
But it's not Mega Man it's the Mighty No. 9, Capcom owns Mega Man and he's gone O_O (LOL just trolling I know what you meant).

Here's the only thing I have learned from these new-age feminists (Because feminism was never like this, it was actually good back then): they don't want REAL equality. Feminists are like little kids that want to be adults. They want all the benefits but they don't want what's on the opposite side of the coin.
As a man I don't hate feminists I just hate that every woman who says the word equality more than the average person thinks she's a feminist. I believe there are actual feminists out there who aren't full of themselves and full of **** and want true equality.
Also I have a (true) feminist friend and these are the kind of ideas she puts in my head.
EDIT: I'm just talking about feminists in general IDK who this person is and I personally don't care.

Personally puzzle swap is my main reason for streetpass don't care much for Streetpass but the OCS I have won't let me live until all my panels stop being empty. Also I've met people thru streetpass messages (fellow college students) people can be pretty smart about getting past limitations so I suggest keepin an eye on your kids don't get too careless

@ThomasBW84
I like the talking point but your feature articles are the best and I love them to death. Personally I think that's what sets you apart from other websites, because I usually don't get invested in those type of articles. Also since my best friend is a hardcore Nintendo Fanboy, we usually discuss about some of the points you make in your feature articles and heck sometimes we even discuss about the article itself at times. Good job and keep it up. Also whoever does the captions for those smash bro pic articles needs a promotion they're usually really good and some make me chuckle.

Well it's very well written and I agree with the points you made. Also just for the sake of convenience I choose to believe the stupid rumor that they were going to show off Metroid but judging on how terrible the show was they stuck to Donkey Kong. Anyways this is the third (I think) Soapbox article I read and I think I'm done, I love NL features I try to never miss reading one because they're so good but the soapbox thing just sux (at least I don't care for them). Basically it's just rambling (but with proper grammar and sentence structure) and I mean that's usually what the forums are for or even the comments section. I think the rambling should be done there.

I wasn't disappointed because it was Reggie doing a reveal so I knew he wasn't going to show anything that was actually new. Let's face it only the head honchos of Japan have the creative freedom to do anything. All Reggie ever does is look like an idiot revealing news that is never actually news. I mean Cranky Kong was leaked days ago he missed a good opportunity well Nintendo missed a good opportunity by not giving him the chance to reveal actual news. Even the guy from Retro studios seemed so bored to be there because even he knew it was a joke.

Promotes gamer hygiene? I happen to be very clean thank you very much.

Worst year of the Luigi ever, hardly anything Luigi related. I thought there would be more to this year.
