Sakurai is just like Kojima, each game is apparently his "last". Reminder that Brawl was supposed to be the last Smash. So I'll believe it when I see it.

As someone who has about 500+ total hours put into Overwatch (estimated from my own personal experience), and has bought the game on the PS4 and PC, I would gladly buy the game again on the Switch, despite my dislike for FPS games on consoles. It would also be a smart idea, business-wise. The Switch is pretty big right now, and to be able to play the game in public without needing a laptop would be really cool. That idea alone would easily sell copies.

I tried the beta, this game was pretty fun so I'll probably pick it up at some point. It definitely won't be a day one purchase though, there's other games I just want more right now.

It'll never happen, but I would so be down for Goku appearing in Smash. He's appeared in more video games than most of the Smash roster, his inclusion would basically mean that anyone could get in allowing for way more potential than ever before, it would bring in a metric crapton of players, oh and to kill off the argument that "he'd be too OP"...by that logic, Mewtwo, Palutena, and Ike should be at the top of top tier and dominating the rest of the cast. The only issue I see with Goku getting in the game is licensing issues. Does Nintendo want to go through the hell of trying to convince Toei Animation (who actually has the rights to Goku and Dragon Ball, not Funimation, they only have rights to the dub) why he should be in Smash Bros.? Probably not.

@MegaMari0 Well, either way, Damo is supposed to be a professional. But from what I've seen, he's acting more like a professional douchebag. If I'm wrong, feel free to tell me, but this was my point from the beginning. Do I agree with AlternateButtons' criticism? No, quite the opposite actually. But all Damo had to do from the beginning was say why he disagrees with Alternate's argument. Instead he immediately resorts to attacking his sub count which is something that a snobby celebrity/Youtuber would do if someone disagrees with them. If he focused on the argument at hand from the very beginning, I'm pretty sure most of this (if not all of this) could've been avoided.

@Damo Outright dismissing someone's opinion because of their sub count on Youtube is one of the most immature and dumb ways to argue against anyone. Not exactly defending @AlternateButtons either, but imagine if they had 1 million subs and he said the exact same thing. What would your response be then? I'm pretty confident that it wouldn't be "lol who are you" and instead it would be actually trying to find a hole in their argument and using said holes against them. But nah mate, his argument is automatically irrelevant because of his sub count.

I'm still holding onto the false hope that we get some sort of Smash news in the next direct. I just want an answer. If Sakurai came on stream and straight up said "there will never be a smash game on the switch or any future switch console haha **** u all lol", I would be happy that we at least have an answer.

Mario may need some Viagr...a Mega Mushroom, because he certainly won't be impressing Peach with that...

b0ss gibe de truth b0ss @MitchVogel

I already wasn't gonna bother with this one because I already own the Wii U version. After seeing this news, however, I...still have no reason to buy this game. 😛

It's a damn shame, but Nintendo had every right to do this. There are still mirror sites and people with the game who are willing to give duplicate downloads to others, so if you want the game that badly, there are still ways to download it. AM2R definitely took effort to make, and it was in development for 10 Years as well, but I'm sure the developer knew of this outcome from the start. It's quite possible he had fun making and releasing AM2R to the masses. But again, Nintendo had the right to do this. It isn't just something Nintendo does, either. Look at Square Enix and Chrono Resurrection, for example.

@MrPuzzlez Here's your Metroid themed 3DS.

I think it's safe to assume that Sonic Mania will be at least a bit alright. The 2017 title, on the other hand...I'll wait before I judge that one. I'm a bit hopeful, but at the same time, I'm looking at some of the last recent Sonic games, and...yeah.

TL;DR: Just play Fire Emblem instead.

When I saw the Twitter post that NoA made, I thought it was a joke at first. I looked at the username and it was actually Nintendo of America posting that. So that was a bit of a surprise for me. This is actually really nice and interesting though, might grab one of these NES Classic Edition Systems.

Not sure if this is a game I'm interested in, but that almost naked guy tho...

I like this. A lot. As soon as I grab this game, I know what I'm gonna (try to) do.

EDIT: I was gonna try to make a joke, but I forgot to earlier, so I'll do it now, a joke that will probably be seen by absolutely no one.
GET YOUR TORCHES! GET YOUR TORCHES HERE! CAN'T HAVE AN ANGRY MOB WITHOUT TORCHES!

Nice to see this got a positive review. I'll see about getting this game eventually. Although I can't now because I'm broke and the Steam sales are happening so any amount of money I get is going to that. : P

Oh man, hype. I'll definitely give Explorers of Sky a shot - been meaning to play that one for a long time.

To be honest, I'm more interested in the Spaghetti-O's than the game.

The NA trailer was cringeworthy as hell. They did a much better job with this one. This trailer makes me want to play the game, whereas the NA trailer makes me question humanity.

YO HO HO, AND A BOTTLE OF RUM!

But wait...WHY IS THE RUM GONE!?

>bulbasaur
>"useless"
>"3rd Most Useless Starter Pokemon"

Let's just ignore the amazingness that is Mega Venusaur, then.

The sad part is, I'm not even surprised this happened. Still feel bad for the guy who had his video claimed due to Youtube's BS copyright system, though.

Rest in peace, good sir. You lived a long and nice life, and entertained many. You shall be missed, but not forgotten.

@antonvaltaz @MJKOP Oh, huh. Well nevermind then, guess I take that back.

This would be useful to me but I'm not 4 years old. Not too sure that a 4 year old would be playing a game on a Wii U, either.

This should make Bayonetta less annoying to deal with, hopefully. She should still be a good character (and by that I mean she should still be around the top of most tier lists, high tier at lowest), but as long as she's less annoying to fight, I'll be fine.

Not so new anymore, is it?

But yeah, I sadly never played New Super Mario Bros. DS or New Super Mario Bros. 2, although I did play New Super Mario Bros. Wii and New Super Mario Bros. U. Both games I played were quite fun, imo.

Robin speed buffs would really be nice, Sm4sh Balance Team.

Also, #BuffThePuff.

I expected this. As long as the microtransactions are handled well, I won't be mad.

Out of the Starters, as of the moment I only really like Litten. Hopefully when it comes time to announce who they are, the evolutions for Popplio and Rowlet look nice. But for now, Litten is currently my favorite looking starter.

As for the Legendaries, they look like Digimon. Not complaining, though. These are a bit weird looking, but they look kinda cool. I was going to get Moon, and while I prefer Sun's mascot legendary, I think I'll still get Moon.

@Joestar- Yeah. Nintendo makes some really enjoyable games. I grew up with a GameCube and a PS2 and found myself enjoying the Gamecube's games more (PS2 has some fun games as well but that's besides the point). But Nintendo has screwed up enough times in my eyes and bad enough on many occasions to the point where it's no wonder that Sony and Microsoft keep destroying Nintendo year after year when it comes to sales.

@OneBagTravel Same tbh. Heck, at this rate, I'm not even sure if I want to get the NX at this rate. With all of their **** ups in recent years, I'm considering just picking up Sony's next major console and Microsoft's next major console and calling it a day for next gen.

Nice article you wrote, NL. Mother 3 is my favorite game of all time, and I really hope that this year is the year the west finally gets the game.

@gardevoir7 Instead of him playing the part of just Pikachu, though, Danny Devito should just play the part of everyone. There's no need for anyone else to be involved. Then, next Pokemon games, Danny Devito becomes a major character. This better happen, Pokemon company, or you've lost all my money already.

Now that Pikachu lingerie is a thing, can we allow Jigglypuff bras to become a thing? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

@Utena-mobile Good point. However, it was still against company policy. Her second job was an erotic photo shoot, no less, and I'm pretty sure that was the kicker there. Nintendo nowadays tries to keep a family friendly image, for the most part. If they did catch wind that one of their higher ups was okay with child pornography, that already should've raised a lot of red flags. However, the fact that she not only violated company policy, she also did an erotic photo shoot, which involves rather lewd things, and generally not something that's family friendly...yeah, I feel like that was the kicker. Regardless of why she was fired, I'm still glad she is gone.

Just gonna leave my simple two cents here. No one probably cares, but it's worth a shot.

So, as we've seen, Ms. Rapp is indeed a supporter of child pornography. That alone is enough to make me okay with the fact that she was fired. She also had a second job, which is a violation of Nintendo's internal policy. So you decided to take a second job, despite knowing that if Nintendo finds out that you have a second job (which they did), you would get fired. Brilliant. Just brilliant. I would like to give Ms. Rapp a round of applause for being a sane and smart human being.

I must agree that what Bayonetta is capable of is stupid. However, I feel it's a little too early for a ban. Give it more time, 6 months in and everyone's stance on Bayonetta is the same? Then a ban would probably be necessary. Year in, definitely. However, it's only been 1-2 months since Bayonetta has been added to the game. Give the character more time.

WOAH DUDE, 10 NEW POKEMON!? THAT'S A LOT! BUT WAIT...THERE'S MORE!? ARE YOU SERIOUS!? I'LL NEVER COLLECT THAT MANY! ./s

Nice try, NL. I looked at the calendar this morning. : P

@Megumi I don't know either! But still, why have a fake trailer when you have 10 SECONDS of fake footage!

Real talk tho, most likely not gonna even bother if viewable outside of Japan because it'll most likely just be 10 seconds of footage again along with some insane commercials and the show itself. I really hope I'm wrong, but sadly that's how it looks, going by past events.

@Megumi I know, right? A clip of an average day time elapsed making it look like it only happened in 10 seconds...it begins with the sun rising, and then ends with the moon in the night sky! What more could you ask for?

I really hope that controller isn't what we end up getting. Just wouldn't feel right, imo.

Despite owning EarthBound on Wii U VC already, I'm tempted to buy EarthBound on 3DS VC. Let's make this another game I own multiple copies of.

Rule 1 would be fine. Keyword: would. I don't see a problem with asking a few times for stars. But when it gets to harassing other users for stars or something like that, that's when it should be bannable.
Rule 2 is straight up BS. Nintendo might as well say "Hey kiddies, guess what, if you accidentally discover a glitch, your copy of Super Mario Maker is now pretty much screwed! F*** you, we have your money!" This will also affect speedrunners as well, as others have said, because much of the speedrunning community exploits glitches. Also, Nintendo, if you hate people using glitches so much, then why don'tcha, y'know...try and fix them? I dunno...just an idea.
Rule 3 is understandable, though.

@Smash_kirby I should get to playing that someday, then. I almost did once.

@Smash_kirby I know. But yeah, I would love to see FE12 localized myself.

I would like to see the 2 FE games on NA/EU VC. Even if Genealogy of the Holy War would definitely get censored, and Mystery of The Emblem would likely be censored (dunno much about that game - I've only played like 10 minutes of that), I'd still buy them if I had money.

Fire Emblem aside, I would love to also have Super Street Fighter II. Although, that's a likely release on NA/EU VC because at this point, Street Fighter is basically modern Capcom's biggest main franchise.
