"Okay Jimmy you can battle these guys."

"Okay! BANG! WAIT WHAT?!"

I feel sorry for them--It looks like they're not gonna make it.

Like Time knows what they're talking about.

@Trask Yeah honestly I'm getting a bit tired of how hard Nintendo is pushing digital for obvious money-making reasons.

I need my physical copies, however, I definitely understand the appeal of the digital. At some point I plan to purchase, the digital version and transfer over but for now the cart suits me just fine.

Heck yeah!!

There's something charming about this one. I kinda want it.

@Araknie I don't feel like it was said "multiple times," but I'll take your word for it--Thanks for the clarity.

@FiveDigitLP Yes--Shining Force is basically Sega's version of FE, and a very good imitator at that. I'd highly recommend it.

I hope Mean Bean Machine gets wireless MP play.

Definitely my most anticipated 3rd party title at the moment. Even more so than Rayman.

I'll definitely be getting that shnazzy boxed copy. But I'm still utterly confused about exactly what Super Luigi U is. Are the levels new? Or are they just new takes on old levels? And if they are just new spins on old courses, what does that mean? Are they harder? Just more tooled to Luigi?

I feel like Nintendo has given zero direction on this.

Very upset. I'm a stickler for physical copies.

Well now that praise is a bit much--But glad to see the 3DS get some well-deserved love!

I'm actually very disappointed. I'm an Insomniac fan as well as a Nintendo fan. I've always respected them as a dev, so this is extremely disheartening to me.

So the levels aren't all-new? Aww. That's kind of disappointing.

We love you, Luigi!!

Agreeing with @Pixelroy — This site isn't strictly "news." It has a lot of fun articles too, which is what makes is such a great and unique site.

Respect for Tyrone Rodriguez goes way up for that comment.

@NinGamer85 Sometimes I consider it! XD

@Dpullam Definitely agreed that SSB is at its best locally. But if you're like me and all your friends and family hate Smash Bros., online's pretty important.

Almost looks like he's coming back as an antagonist...Which is pretty rad to be honest.

Yeah lol I came in here hoping to here him address the lag that made Brawl's online unplayable. Not even sure what these "defensive tactics" are.

Miyamoto-san is legend. Enough said.

@Damo Nah, it's not the same dude. And yeah, no problem! (^_^) Thank you guys for the credit.

To be honest, I thought for a second this was the same guy who did the Wind Waker thing. They even have the same first name.

Awww man! How cool is that?!

Sad to hear. NFC should be the last thing on Nintendo's "priority" list. I don't want to buy stupid little figurines for in-game content. What's next, having to buy figures to unlock Smash Bros. characters?

@ThomasBW84 Sorry! I deleted that comment right after I made it because I was in error. Can't believe you actually saw it! I was simply referring to Bit.Trip's tweet about the game being available in 19 hours. I thought this article was referring to this whole gig being a rumor but it clearly says "Confirmed." Like I said, my mistake.

I just want this to come over to NA!

@GeminiSaint You make a good point, but you still would have to go ammo mining which is a serious pain in the rear.

I want to clarify, once again--I love Mega Man 2 and think it's an amazing game. It's just that one stage where I have some serious issues, mostly stemming from some terrible childhood memories of rage and anguish.

@CanisWolfred So you walk into the room and there's a whole bunch of cannons on the wall that rip into you every couple of seconds. You have to destroy them all. Fair enough. It doesn't help that there's like 5 Sniper Armor's outside the room but whatever.

Point is, you can only use Crash Bombs to destroy the cannons and that's pretty screwed up in more ways than one. Firstly, if you didn't know that you need Crash Bombs ahead of time and used some earlier, you're screwed. You either have to die and restart or go ammo mining which sucks. Then on top of that, there's really only a couple ways to go about getting the cannons because you have the blow up a couple of the walls too. And those "ways" aren't really what you'd call "easy."

First of all, it's hard to even distinguish how the heck to go about doing it because you can't pause and take a look to map out a plan. I had to take a picture of the screen when I played the game and spend five minutes mapping out a plan. And then you have to execute that plan in one shot, or else, once again, you're either gonna go mining or you just have to suicide.

So basically you have know somehow ahead of time you need Crash Bombs, know somehow what walls you can and can't destroy without spending too much ammo without pausing, and you have to do it perfectly in one shot or else you're either going all the way back or grinding. Poor game design.

Don't get me wrong, I love Mega Man 2--But that boss always gets me riled up.

Mega Man 2 is less than perfect. It definitely has its share of poor game design flaws (Boobeam Trap, anyone?). It's still an NES legend, though. I'd be more inclined to give it something more like an 8.

HOW DO WE KNOW ANYMORE. Nothing is sacred. >_>

Guillemot can shove it.

Absolute scumbag move by Ubisoft. So pissed off.

Yes, please.

So in other words:

"THIS IS NOT YOUR FATHER'S CASTLEVANIA."

eShop is a prime example of what Nintendo needs to do to excel in the online world. Make online functions simple, easy, and put out great content.

Good news--I was just talking to my brother yesterday telling him how I wanted it on my 3DS.

Agreeing with Kholdstare to a tee.

Kirby's Epic Yarn really bored me to death, so I'm kind of worried about this one. Especially since Yoshi's Island is one of my favorite games of all time.

What the heck! I want Earthbound! -_-

Glad to hear it--Downloaded Gunman Clive last week, and it really is a great little game.

Bahhhh when does NA get this? Saw this review and immediately hopped on eShop only to be disappointed.

This is amazing news. In my humble opinion, the original Japanese voices are almost always superior to the American ones--The soon-to-be-out Ni No Kuni for PS3 is going to feature this, and now this game. Thrilled to hear it, and personally I think it should be a feature in most every Japanese-made game that has a lot of VA work.

@Void Too right--I'm sick and tired of NA being shunned like this.

I've been up all night doing school and I'm still not done...Might as well watch. XD

I have issues with the whole idea of, "Well it's on a portable system so we need to make it more bite-sized and dumbed down." My idea of advancing portable games is making them closer and closer to console experiences. Sticker Star should have been as close to a full blown RPG as they could push the 3DS.

Pleaaase. Please Nintendo. Give us a different color.
