I know this won't be on many people's minds, but I'd really like to see Metroid and Kid Icarus celebrated on their 30th anniversary. Fates and Pokkén are the only games announced now I care about so far, so I'd like the two previously stated franchises to be cared for on their big year.
Also, for those wanting an excellent exploration experience go pick up Xenoblade Chronicles X, it is fantastic.
Wow, I guess people don't like this game much down here in the comments. I for one enjoy this game although I do not normally enjoy touch screen games. The sound Kirby makes when entering a level is the most adorable thing I have ever heard and this game just gushes with adorableness. I love watching the tiny Kirbys pound away on the enemies and flying through the air to save their lifeless other selves. I still need to beat this game. I bought this game a couple of years ago and I do not regret it.
@LUIGITORNADO I know! That's what I've been saying too. I doubt all those people who want voice chat can speak every language Splatoon is available in. I mean I guess it could help with group battles, but everything is so chaotic, there's not much time to follow plans as they'd fall apart within the madness.
Bought the Wii U for Mario Kart 8 and later Super Smash Bros. Gonna sell those games soon. What makes the console for me is Splatoon and soon to be Xenoblade Chronicles X.
I did not expect this to get the score it did. I have never played the game before this nor have I played a life simulator before, but this game seems to have a lot to keep track of. I am not saying anything negative about it, but I think I would be overwhelmed by this game with everything going on. Or am I making it seem more than what it really is?
That's a real shame. Was definitely looking forward to this, now I am not sure. Guess I'll wait for some game play footage and check out other reviews as well.
Can't be excited for Twilight Princess HD, it didn't look much different honestly, the amiibo was cool though. Cloud in Smash Bros. is excellent. Personally I liked the Fire Emblem Fates info and Linkle announcement. Solid Direct.
Linkle is just adorable and I am willing to buy Hyrule Warriors Legends just for her and Skull Kid. Would be in full support to see her in main series games.
I started following this site January of this year, 2015, and there have been plenty of well-written and entertaining articles and I have enjoyed my time here. Guess not much else to say except happy birthday and wish you guys the best of luck for the future. : )
@Edwards Nah, this stuff is everywhere on Sonic Gen PC. Plenty of Nintendo character mods like Luigi and Lucario and level mods from other Sonic games and even Rainbow Road from Mario Kart.
Heeeeeey Dako Neko finally finished this. Been wondering when it'd be done. Definitely gonna download this, maybe tomorrow. Though some of Dako's other mods seem to be better/smoother??? I might just be remembering incorrectly, this mod just seemed a bit off for some reason, not sure why. Glad it's done though nonetheless.
@MarkyVigoroth Not sure what you mean by stagnated. XY and even ORAS pushed the series forward bringing in new features, items, characters, etc. And that doesn't even include the move into 3D.
This is not the first time we have seen this. When the article about Nintendo uniting the Wii U and 3DS banners in the store was written this same artwork was used.
Glad to see Splatoon doing well and it will most likely do well during the next couple of months too. Didn't expect to see Dark Moon sell over 4 million. Nice.

Re: Review: FAST Racing NEO (Wii U eShop)
@Ralizah Well the game is cheap for the content you'd be getting for it. It is an eShop game, but it is one of the best.
Re: Minecraft Finally Digs Its Way Onto the Wii U eShop on 17th December
@manu0 Well I know there are kids who want to get an XBox for Minecraft. Silly I know, but is true.

Re: Nintendo Breaks Out the Bubbly Following More Patent and Anti-Piracy Wins in the Courts
Yay Nintendo! Also, I'd watch a Nintendo legal drama television series. Have Reggie in the show and I'd be all for it.

Re: Editorial: Linkle May be a Clunky Introduction For a 'Female Link', But Opens Up Interesting Possibilities
Well put. Makes wonderful sense and I would be very fine with this.

Re: Hyrule Warriors Legends Gets a Release Date and 'Female Link', Linkle
@Dpishere Same here. Blasting enemies and solving puzzles with TWO crossbows. I'm all for it.

Re: Capcom "Will Consider The Possibility" Of Supporting Nintendo NX
"That's awfully nice of them." XD
Anyway, not sure why they wouldn't, unless they have no idea what it is.
Re: Nintendo Badge Arcade is Out Now in North America
This is the first I've heard of this. Sounds interesting though, will download sometime soon.

Re: SEGA Posts Financial Results, Sales are Down and Profits are up
I think Nintendo should buy Sega and Capcom and bring their two respective mascots back to their former glory. Oh man, could you imagine that?
Re: Nintendo Shares Level Out After $4 Billion Drop in Company Value
@SanderEvers It has to release this next year. Nintendo can not afford to wait until 2017.
Re: Yo-Kai Watch Will Be The Next Pokémon, Claims Viz Media
Oh that's funny. This gave me a good laugh.

Re: Video: Jessica Chobot Is Samus Aran In This Lavish Fan-Made Metroid Short
Excellent work here. Morph ball sequence was well done. Only thing that bothered me was the Other M suit design.

Re: Pokémon Developer Game Freak Acquires Smartphone Development Studio Koa Games
Maybe this means Genius Sonority can actually start developing Pokémon games for consoles again.
Re: Feature: Our Nintendo Gaming Plans for Halloween - Part One
Gotta finish up Dark Moon and then pick up Fatal Frame 5. Don't think it will go on sale.
Re: Talking Point: Five Key Challenges Nintendo Faces with the NX
@westman98 So more Bayonettas, Xenoblades, and Fatal Frames? Or you mean other exclusives?
Re: Video: Nintendo Shows Off a Few More Challengers in Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash
@Mario_maniac Yeah Donkey Kong Jr., that was crazy. I'm sure they'll toss in Rosalina.
Re: Video: Nintendo Shows Off a Few More Challengers in Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash
@ShadowLuigi2 Yes.
Re: Video: Nintendo Shows Off a Few More Challengers in Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash
@MasterWario I don't know, but that surprised me as well!
Re: Video: Nintendo Shows Off a Few More Challengers in Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash
@HyrulianOfHyrule So you have no interest in Xenoblade Chronicles X I assume.
