Well, it has been an almost good year, filled with worse press than it really deserved, but the great titles are finally starting to come. Now, hopefully the next year will be better.
Currently the WiiU is laughing at the "so you said that our system was crap and you got... That?" From PS4 and XBone. That and the arrival of the big hits to the console is reflecting on the increase of sales.
@Cohort Yes it does, but its a pain in the cheeks to go all over the settings messing with the configuration. It's more simple to hook the laptop on the TV (and it is also boring to do).
@dizzy_boy how much cost could it add? It's not like it would need additional hardware. The problem is that I have a huge collection of DVDs, and it would be more a practical thing rather that economical thing.
@Cohort now imagine the Latin american Netflix. (hint: it is pretty terrible) Even with such an excellent price, it's a waste of money paying $6 ~ $7 for a bunch of soap operas, terrible movies and movies that I already own. -_-
@Cohort yeah, I've used it, but I still think the offering is very limited.
@tchaten well I'm not asking for a console that could even wash the dishes (but actually that would be awesome) I'm just asking for the posibility to pop in a DVD and play it. It's not trying to turn the console into a media center, just the possibility of playing back a DVD, I know that i'm not asking too much, right?
Actually that is something that has pissed me off about Nintendo consoles, their inability to reproduce any movie on DVD/USB. Why? I don't want/need Netflix, I want to use my own media!
having remastered this game, I would think that remastering Mega Man over the same engine and maybe with a similar graphical treatment would be reasonably easy.
It would be very reasonable to catalogue a car driven with a power glove as a weapon of mass destruction. (Thinking about AVGN's review of the powerglove)
Last game from Atlus that I've played was World Soccer '94: Road to Glory, so you may deduce how much do I care about their projects.
Anyway, my question is: how would nintendo benefit from the acquisition of a niche gaming studio, when they're currently struggling to reach a wider audience?
All of this started with the guy who modded the Zelda I ROM to make Zelda playable. A Zelda game could work also like they did with Super Luigi U, a DLC for the game.
We all know what happened the last time someome came with that idea.
Either way, a game playable with either Zelda or Link with different but entwined story arcs would be a strong option, and would ensure the need to play it twice.
The villager: I don't care too much, I've never played AC, but looks funny. The trainer: absolutely funny, looks great! Mega Man: Ultra awesome addition! Little Mac: WHAT ARE YOU WAITING TO ANNOUNCE HIM? DO YOU WANT TO GIVE ME A HEART ATTACK?
It should've always been a nintendo exclusive. For me it's stupid to publish a second game on a system without releasing the first one (just like Batman Arkham City without Asylum on Wii U)
A Modern-day Zelda sounds fantastic, something like Link being lured to a trap by Ganon, or a misfired spell, so Link ends up in the Modern day and has to find its way back to Hyrule. Or something like the two dimensions fusing (but that sounds pretty similar to Twilight Princess).
it's a shame, so much potential wasted. You could unlock stages on both consoles by having the other version (ex. the nintendogs stage on 3DS), extra characters, prizes, etc. Something like Injustice on iOS & Playstation.
I actually did have a response: "we won't have support on your region". And here we go again, South America is an unexisting black hole for Nintendo. F* off, that makes me mad.
Am I the only one who's wondering why they didn't show Little Mac? Anyway, Mega Man is a cool addition, hope this is the prelude of a Nintendo exclusive franchise.

Re: Weirdness: Wii Love This Nintendo Polar Bear
Is that a bear? looks more like an AT-AT Walker from Star Wars
Re: Kirby: Triple Deluxe For 3DS Floats Into Japan on 11th January, Teaser Site Goes Live
@Goginho surely is because the fanbase for Zelda is way higher than kirby & Yoshi's games.
Re: Nintendo's Miiverse Social Network Finally Makes Its Way To The 3DS
Yeah! it took just one year!
Re: Review: Angry Bunnies (3DS eShop)
Guess I'll stick with mad donkeys.
Re: EA: Being Voted The Worst Company In America Was "A Wake Up Call"
The sequel to this award is the only sequel that I will wait eagerly from EA
Re: Nintendo Comes Up Empty at the Golden Joystick Awards
The only thing that really matters is that I got a free license for CivV on Steam
Regarding to the games... Well, it should be a motivation to earn some awards next year

Re: Review: Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers (Wii U eShop / Super Nintendo)
This is the best fighting game to ever grace the SNES.
Re: DuckTales: Remastered Update to Target Leaderboard Issues on Wii U
Havnt had any problems.

It isn´t fair for us, launch buyers!
Re: Capcom Reiterates Stance On Further Disney Remastering
Mickey Mouse Magical Quest! It has an absolutely excellent soundtrack!
Re: Interview: Capcom on Remastering DuckTales, The Perils of GamePad Maps and Reaching a New Audience

Re: Video: DuckTales: Remastered Celebrates Launch With a "Moon Postcard"
Also: FINALLY A GAME THAT SUPPORTS THE PRO CONTROLLER! WOOO!
Re: Video: DuckTales: Remastered Celebrates Launch With a "Moon Postcard"
Already downloaded it! It's A-MA-ZING! :'-)
Re: Club Nintendo Rewards Get Active for August
@ricklongo not only lack of club nintendo, just lack of... everything (even the posibility to buy with a credit card).
I'm wondering if the WiiU Downloads will come before 2040 or i'll have to keep waiting.
Re: Petition Started To Make Reggie A Playable Character In Upcoming Smash Bros. Title
Hahaha it would be one hell of a DLC!
Re: Weirdness: Hackers Use NES Pad To Drive Car
It would be very reasonable to catalogue a car driven with a power glove as a weapon of mass destruction. (Thinking about AVGN's review of the powerglove)
Re: Weirdness: Mike Tyson Was Rubbish at Punch-Out!!
Well, it's a merit that he at least knows how to turn on the console.
Now, it would be more surprising if he said that he beated the game.
Re: Rumour: Nintendo Is Shaping Up To Acquire Troubled Atlus

Re: South Park Creators Cite Earthbound as a Major Inspiration for Their Own Game
Yes, it's a shame that The Stick of truth isn't coming to WiiU. Anyway, I'll pick it up for PS3 (Hopefully sooner than later)
Re: Weirdness: Level-5 Flies Straight With its Favourite Character Poll Wallpaper
The illusion of democracy crushed by the lulz.
Re: Fan Campaign Starts for Princess Zelda to be Given a "Stronger" - Perhaps Playable - Role
All of this started with the guy who modded the Zelda I ROM to make Zelda playable.
A Zelda game could work also like they did with Super Luigi U, a DLC for the game.
Re: Fan Campaign Starts for Princess Zelda to be Given a "Stronger" - Perhaps Playable - Role
Now, a better option would be a game with Ganon as the main playable character.

Re: Club Nintendo Rewards Updated for July
It's pointless to download Wii games, they should offer WiiU VC by now
Re: Nintendo Wins Another Patent Battle, This Time Over MotionPlus
Now sue Microsoft for whatever and wipe em' out!
Re: Sakurai Explains The Reasoning Behind The New Characters in Super Smash Bros.
The villager: I don't care too much, I've never played AC, but looks funny.

Mega Man: Ultra awesome addition!

Re: Weirdness: Level-5's Favourite Character Poll Doesn't Go to Plan
@Dizzard sometimes you do.
Your image is absolutely, positively inappropriate. Please don't post that sort of content here — TBD
Re: Super Smash Bros. Will Have The Same Character Roster On Both Wii U And 3DS
No crossplay and no exclusive characters in either console. Why should I buy both then?
Re: Nintendo Teases Majora's Mask Remake Again, Again
SHIGERU STAHP, PLS STAHP ;_;
Re: Not All Super Smash Bros. Characters Will Make The Leap To Wii U And 3DS
Bye bye to rob, ice climbers and mr. Game & watch, at least.
Re: Super Mario 3D World Producer Teases New Annoucement
One at a time and thus you'll be able to bring it faster!
Re: Epic Mickey 2's Eventual Arrival in Japan to be Nintendo Exclusive
It should've always been a nintendo exclusive. For me it's stupid to publish a second game on a system without releasing the first one (just like Batman Arkham City without Asylum on Wii U)
Re: Interview: Zelda Producer Eiji Aonuma Talks DLC, Missing Dungeons And Majora's Mask
A Modern-day Zelda sounds fantastic, something like Link being lured to a trap by Ganon, or a misfired spell, so Link ends up in the Modern day and has to find its way back to Hyrule. Or something like the two dimensions fusing (but that sounds pretty similar to Twilight Princess).
Anyway, sounds nice.
Re: Super Smash Bros. Won't Feature Cross-Platform Play Between Wii U and 3DS
it's a shame, so much potential wasted. You could unlock stages on both consoles by having the other version (ex. the nintendogs stage on 3DS), extra characters, prizes, etc. Something like Injustice on iOS & Playstation.
Re: Over 1,000 Parties Interested In Developing For Wii U Since Nintendo Web Framework Announcement
I actually did have a response: "we won't have support on your region". And here we go again, South America is an unexisting black hole for Nintendo. F* off, that makes me mad.
Re: Poll: Which Wii U E3 Game Has Impressed You the Most?
Mega Man tilted the election to Super Smash!
Re: Nintendo to Launch First Free-To-Play Game By March 2014
I agree with @MrSRArter, that's a good way to try new IPs, and to keep us entertained!
Re: Aonuma Explains Why The 3DS Wasn't Used As The Tingle Tuner In Wind Waker HD
I just thought that the gamepad was going to be used, it is a no-brainer. But well, you can't blame them for trying to give a push to Miiverse.
Re: Hideki Konno Delves Into Mario Kart 8
I'm wondering who'll be new on this game. I would bet on Nabbit. Also, the Koopalings would be awesome.
Re: Super Smash Bros. Footage Revealed, Mega Man Introduced as a New Challenger
Am I the only one who's wondering why they didn't show Little Mac? Anyway, Mega Man is a cool addition, hope this is the prelude of a Nintendo exclusive franchise.
Re: Ian Livingstone: Nintendo Should Have Their IP On Every Platform
It wouldn't be a problem if Nintendo got 100% revenue of the sales and required a Nintendo ID (tied to a Nintendo console) to play the game
Re: Evidence of a Functional 3DS Flashcard Emerges
I NEED ONE OF THOSE!
(The Micro SD cards, my tablet's internal memory is already full)

F* me hard, I wanted a white deluxe :-/ oh well...
Re: Feature: A Brief History of Pokémon - Part One
I don't know, never got hooked up with the game. But it surely is an amazing phenomenon.
