Meant to buy this but it slipped off my radar. Won't make that mistake twice, especially with the added attraction of new content. Between this and Year Walk, I've enjoyed these innovative, if too late, uses of the Gamepad.
@EllenJMiller This is right on the money. I'm not sure I'd care about this news, given Konami's bad faith and bad press, provided the company was also planning to license its properties to other publishers. It could happen, of course, but I'm not holding my breath.
@Damo It seems you failed to consult them before reporting this rumor, hence XSEED's Brittany: "dear everyone: stop publishing posts from random neogaf users like they're fact and freaking people out over non-existent bullshit." As a regular NL reader, I'd appreciate it if you'd find corroborating sources before spreading baseless information.
@EllenJMiller It's great to read this sort of response, which shows thoughtful, dispassionate reflection. I wish more Nintendo fans — and NintendoLife readers, frankly — were capable of it. Disappointment is understandable, but anger? That's right out, especially in a year as rich as this one has been and promises to be.
I'd love to see NintendoLife move to a Eurogamer-type system. Games journos aren't responsible for the misuse of scores, but they're in the best position to stop it.
Is this error code related to lag in SSB? The last several times I've tried to play online the game suffers from intolerable lag. I'm not talking about frame drops; I mean I can see the battle commence, including the epic stomping of my arse, frame by frame by frame!
Great third-party games already are here; they just haven't the visibility of AAA titles. Scram Kitty and Shovel Knight, for example, are two of the best games I've played this year.
Pulled the trigger this morning after catching the tweet from Nintendolife. For comparison, I'm tracking a used copy on eBay that's set to sell for $65 USD, so this is not a bad deal by any means. Even if the bottom falls out of the collectible market due to (sudden, unlikely) eShop availability I figure I'll get my money's worth from the, you know, 70 hours of entertainment.

Re: Zen Studios Acquires Bally And Williams Pinball Licence, Tables Headed To Pinball FX3
@OorWullie Excellent! That keening you hear is my wallet mourning the loss of many, many dollars.
Re: Zen Studios Acquires Bally And Williams Pinball Licence, Tables Headed To Pinball FX3
Can you play tables in TATE mode? It'd be great to pair this collection of tables with my soon-to-arrive Flip Grip.
Re: Nintendo Switch Nindies Showcase Summer 2018 Announced For 28th August
I hope we learn about Donut County’s imminent arrival on Nintendo Switch.
Re: FAST Racing NEO Release Date and Pricing Speed Into View
I'd buy it now if I could. Art of Balance is one of my favorite Wii U games, but what Shin'en have created here is on another level.
Re: A New Yooka-Laylee Support Character Has Been Revealed
Very clever — the custom shader is especially inspired — and the news of hidden minigames is new to me.
Re: The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses Master Quest Continues into 2016
Got my tickets for the San Antonio stop! Saw the clip on Colbert and couldn't imagine not going.

One last thumb in the eye of North American Clubbers.

Re: Poll: Do Video Game Reviews Need To Have A Score?
I'd love to see NintendoLife move to a Eurogamer-type system. Games journos aren't responsible for the misuse of scores, but they're in the best position to stop it.

Re: New and Sealed Xenoblade Chronicles Copies Available in North America
How nice to revisit this thread with the knowledge that XC is coming to 3DS.
Re: Video: New Rodea the Sky Soldier Footage Shows Off Progress
You had me at 'Yuji Naka.'
Re: Video: Nintendo Minute Shows Off 'Super' New Levels in Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
@Arcamenel I was just thinking the same thing.
Re: Review: Yumi's Odd Odyssey (3DS eShop)
Excellent review, Morgan.
For the curious, Yumi is $10 until 12/1.
Re: Review: Scram Kitty and his Buddy on Rails (Wii U eShop)
This is the best indie on the eShop and one of my top 3 for GOTY.
Re: The November Club Nintendo Rewards Are Now Up For Grabs
The worst month I can remember.

Re: E3 2014: Zelda Wii U Looks So Great You Really Should Put It On Your Desktop
@Frapp Thank you!
Re: E3 2014: Zelda Wii U Looks So Great You Really Should Put It On Your Desktop
It'd be lovely to have versions without the logos.
Re: Feature: Our Top 10 Wii U eShop Games - Summer 2014
Pleased to see Scram Kitty here, but I'd bump it all the way to #2. I've not enjoyed a challenge this much since, well, NES Remix, I suppose!
Re: Meet Sticks, The New Member of Sonic Boom's "Core Ensemble"
Pretty sweet burrow, though.
