@TheKingOfTown Since when is Pachter predicting a negative future for Nintendo "news?" It's not.

I think it's really sad that NintendoLife has to resort to inflammatory articles like this to get its page clicks. The site used to be above crap like this.

To everyone else concerned, this guy has his opinion and, whether you agree with it or not (I certainly don't), he doesn't deserve your hateful name-calling.

"and remember what made Mario Kart 7 so good."

What was that exactly?

Looks like they decided not to put up the Sonic demo, lol.

Looks like a much better console than the Wii U to me, but at the same time it won't have Nintendo's IP's and it'll be far more expensive.

But man, virtually nonexistent load times... sigh.

Really sad that so many 3DS games can't hold a decent framerate. :/

Eff Rayman Legends, this is the bad news. >:[

Wow, this looks awesome.

I don't have any particular desire to see this on Vita, but that comment is far from a "denial."

MOON3D!!

That was horrible.

Still has a choppy framerate but it looks hella fun.

I'd be all over this if it came out over here.

I'm mostly worried about the framerate. There are some really choppy shots in the trailers, and that irritates me more than muddy textures.

Still looks awesome though. <3

Really excited for this – the 3DS is starved of JRPGs. Fingers crossed for a localization!

Holy. Crap. This looks incredible.

3DS Game Released For Free On Lame-o iOS Is Better On 3DS

Start having fun bashing it, readers!

In other news... actually, there really isn't any other news today. Stay tuned while we come up with more ways for you to hate on evil iOS games!

@Ideal_Hero No, the shop server would have a clock to regulate this.

I appreciate that they care about this, but it's going to irritate a lot of people.

I like the last one.

This. We get it. People ripoff the most popular gaming icon in the world. This is news how?

Only this time it's not for profit, so it's no worse than the zillions of Mario fan games you can download for your computer or play in your browser. Why aren't you guys running articles on those? They could probably use the publicity too.

Very curious about this. Hopefully it's as fun as it is intriguing!

Dannngit I want the first one!

It's not about gameplay... it's about sending a message. Everything burns!

Yeah, these don't look real at all, but still... pretty cool.

@the_shpydar Agreed. :/

I'm not saying Nintendo should or shouldn't develop for iOS platforms - I'm just saying if they did then the results would be the amazing stuff we're used to on Nintendo platforms, and most of the a$$-kissing fanboys here would be going "hm I guess iPhone isn't so bad after all, I'm going to get one for my birthday!!!!!!!1111".

Well yeah. Unfortunately top-quality AAA "console-style" games have been slow in coming, and most big-budget games have been trying to mimic rather than innovate (I'm looking at you Gameloft and EA). Some have turned out fun, but the console versions tend to be superior.

That being said, iOS does have superior versions of games. World of Goo is one that springs to mind.

How silly. Devices coexisting? But that wouldn't make the fanboys happy! Everything non-Nintendo must die!!

@Magnet_Man018 It's not.

I mean yeah, they're not dedicated but neither is a PC. But PCs can run games better than dedicated "game devices." You could argue that being dedicated is a limitation, not a virtue.

Also, re: iOS game quality: Touch screen gaming is still young in its life — it hasn't had 30 years to develop yet. There's still a lot of figuring out to do.

On the other hand, from a hardware standpoint a game like Zelda: Phantom Hourglass is totally able to exist on iOS and be even better. Unfortunately, no one's done it yet. I guarantee you that if Nintendo were developing serious games for Apple devices then they'd do some mindblowingly awesome stuff. The tech is amazing and has a ton of potential, but developers — for the most part — haven't figured out how to tap into that potential yet. That's something that continually frustrates me.

lol Nintendo, u so silly.

I hope this gets some critical backlash. Like this.
_{also wtf IGN, you took out the 0.0. >:[}

Failblox?

I am tired of Cave Story. Make a new eff'n game already.

O_____O

Yep, it'll have local multiplayer.

I like the idea of Retro and Nintendo EAD making a massively huge Zelda game. I'm a bit curious about what direction the next Super Mario game will take too... hmm.

Sounds like a goofy mistake to me.

"We don't want to segregate the two groups, like Japan and overseas. We view them as one group."

Really? Then don't region-lock the multiplayer.

Also the target-cam sounds great, especially for the 3DS. Hoping I won't have to mess with tracking down a CPPro. D:

I hate Nintendo boycott them forever that'll show them my life is ruined waaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
_{/me defects to SonyLife}

Of course it is. You've dumped a boatload of money into its launch, so it has to be.

Unbelievably stoked for this game. This kinda came out of nowhere.

You saw yourself? Were you playing mirror mode?

OMG. Best bombshell out of nowhere ever!! I'm so getting a Wii U now.

Not a fan of these heavy metal guitar covers, but some of the ambient stuff was really cool.

Weren't they working on a Conduit title for 3DS? I'd expect it to be that.

Groan, it's freemium. Pictures of the zillion Gameloft/Zynga/whatever freemium games reskinned as Layton are coming to my mind.

Ah well, hopefully this one will be different. I'd love to have me some legit Layton on iOS.

I'm curious about whether or not it'll have online. You'd think if it was going to we'd have heard about it by now.

@tbd groan

I've never owned even a single issue of Nintendo Power, but I'm still sad to see it go.

Unfortunately Metroid is kind of out of our league

Yes, yes it is. So don't touch it again, thanks. >_>

First person I thought of was Zelda Williams too, haha.
