Wii Universe... I wonder if that'll be their online service?
I think Nintendo buys up most of these domains (wiiuware, etc.) basically so that no one else does. I kinda think it's to protect against fraud and crap.
I totally agree with this score; this is 2D Zelda perfection. I'm playing this through for the first time and I'm amazed at how the designers managed to constantly keep things fresh and new.
There's plenty of reasons to explore, the dungeons are awesome, and the combat is the most fun of any Zelda game I've ever played. And the items are awesome too. (seriously, jumping in a Zelda game? Eff yeah!)
This is definitely my favorite Zelda game, and one of the few that haven't bored me to tears. :3
Oh my gosh Nintendo, don't cite the 3DS as a good online system until you lift the frickin' 20 character cap. And enable PM's. It's as barebones as you can get right now.
Bah, thanks a lot Corbie, now you've got me interested in this again. Well, as long as Nicalis doesn't screw up the release date again, it'll be out in time for my birthday, lol. :3
Yeah, this is going to work really well for them. Tablets are all the rage right now, and Nintendo's doing some really cool and innovative stuff with WiiU.
Oh hey, Corbie, I've got a question: Do you have to hold a button down to run? If so, how are the controls? Is it like Y runs+attacks and B jumps, like in the classic games?
Also, do you have full 360 degree movement with the circle pad? Because in the trailer it looked like the player was playing with the d-pad.
I'm with warioswoods here, this'll be nice for more precise stuff. Still, it would've been nice to have a more sensitive screen for item management. You have to press fairly hard to get taps to register when you're using your fingers.
Also, I'm imaging Monster Hunter 4 on this and salivating hardcore. DO IT CAPCOM.
lol me too for the most part. Here's the trick to playing it:
Hold right off of a ramp to jump low and far, and hold left off the ramp to go high and short. Always land with your wheels parallel to the ground, and use the boost (B button) when you need to.
Anyway, I think it's a good sign that Gameloft is holding back their titles. Probably means that they're planning on releasing new 3DS-optimized stuff. :3
lol I love how PR takes a simple fact and turns it into a mild, condescending attack. And yes, Nintendo does it too.
It's kinda funny watching this because Sony loves picking on Nintendo, Nintendo loves picking on Apple, and Apple and Microsoft just keep their mouths shut.

If it makes the console cheaper, then fine.
Re: Iwata Talks Wii U Voice Chat and Social Networking

Re: First Nano Assault Footage Assaults All Your Senses
This... looks gross. And really fun. One of the weirdest games I've seen in awhile, haha.
Re: Gaijin Games Details New Content in BIT.TRIP COMPLETE
I gotta say, I'd like to see Gaijin try something new instead of rereleasing these games to death.

Will do @Tech101. :3
Re: Review: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D (3DS)
Haha nice, the 3DS's first 10 in its first couple months. A promise of things to come, I hope.
If all goes well I'll pick this up next week. I'm really excited to play this since I never did finish the original. :3
Re: Nintendo Taking "Massive Leap" with Wii U's Online Set-Up
Oh my gosh Nintendo, don't cite the 3DS as a good online system until you lift the frickin' 20 character cap. And enable PM's. It's as barebones as you can get right now.
Re: First Impressions: BIT.TRIP SAGA (3DS)
RUNNER was the only game in this series that I really liked. I'll pass on this.
Re: First Impressions: Cave Story (3DS)
Bah, thanks a lot Corbie, now you've got me interested in this again. Well, as long as Nicalis doesn't screw up the release date again, it'll be out in time for my birthday, lol. :3
I just wish they'd change that fugly box art.
Re: First Impressions: Mutant Mudds (3DSWare)
Man, I wish this'd come out next week but I have a feeling that's not gonna happen, lol. This looks awesome.
Re: We May Have 8-Player Online with Mario Kart 3DS
Poor Star Fox...
Re: Mutant Mudds
This looks pretty cool! I'm always up for a good 2D platformer. :3
Re: SEGA: "Wii U Due in Spring or Summer 2012"
If that's true, then good. Hopefully that'd mean a holiday bundle. :3

Re: Wii U Games Using Two New Controllers Being Considered
My wallet is screaming in agony.
Re: Iwata Asks Delves Into Wii U Development
Yeah, this is going to work really well for them. Tablets are all the rage right now, and Nintendo's doing some really cool and innovative stuff with WiiU.

Re: Wii U Touch Screen is Resistive, Not Capacitive
I'm with warioswoods here, this'll be nice for more precise stuff. Still, it would've been nice to have a more sensitive screen for item management. You have to press fairly hard to get taps to register when you're using your fingers.
Also, I'm imaging Monster Hunter 4 on this and salivating hardcore. DO IT CAPCOM.
Re: First Impressions: Super Mario 3D (3DS)
IMHO this looks like it has the potential be the best platformer ever made. I can't stop watching the E3 trailer!
This is the way I've always wanted my 3D Mario platformers to be — I can't wait to buy it!
Re: Review: Excitebike (3DSWare)
lol me too for the most part. Here's the trick to playing it:
Hold right off of a ramp to jump low and far, and hold left off the ramp to go high and short. Always land with your wheels parallel to the ground, and use the boost (B button) when you need to.
Re: The Rolling Western Keeps Those Wagons Rolling
Yeah, I'll pass on this one.

Re: Nintendo Download: 6th June 2011 (North America)
@Adam: Tuesday update?
Re: Frogger 3D Trailer Shows the Frog's Still Alive
I'd be tempted if the framerate wasn't so lousy. Seriously, the 3DS is capable of more than this. >.<
Re: Nintendo Updates DSiWare to 3DS Transfer List with More Titles
Ugh... I'm so sick of the "IGNorant" jokes.
Anyway, I think it's a good sign that Gameloft is holding back their titles. Probably means that they're planning on releasing new 3DS-optimized stuff. :3
Re: Nikkei Corroborates Previous Wii 2 Controller Rumours
Touch screen inventories sound more and more appealing.

Re: Sony President Thinks 3DS is Just an Updated DS

Re: Tennis
This is a pretty fun little game. :3
Re: Rumour: Nintendo to Reveal New Zelda Game at E3
"the game will be part of the Zelda 25th anniversary celebrations"
That's what I thought. Probably just a compilation or remake.
Re: Hideo Kojima Busy Getting Snake Eater 3D Ready for E3
I'm excited to see more of this. I've never played an MGS game before. :3
Re: Review: Dream Trigger 3D (3DS)
Ouch. Interestingly IGN liked it, just thought it was too short.

Ahhahaha, nice caption.
Also, awesome. I can test out how VC games'll look and play before I buy any. :3
Re: Japanese Gamers Put Off by High Price of 3DS
The image is right. Put Monster Hunter on it and it will sell millions. Nintendo needs to bribe Capcom. :3
Re: Talking Point: Should Nintendo Try to Recapture 'Hardcore' Gamers?
Agreed. IMHO it's just a term people use to make themselves feel cool.
Re: Mario and Link Make eShop Cards Look Good
$10 cards? Yes please.
Re: Talking Point: Should Nintendo Try to Recapture 'Hardcore' Gamers?
Heck no, I want more Cooking Mama games.
Re: DS Lite Drops to $99 in US, Mario DS Games Go Red
Damn. I'm really, really tempted to pick up a new DS lite. My hinge is cracked and DS games are awful on the 3DS... hmm.
