@WaveBoy basically what WaveBoy said. The Wii U doesn't have the architecture to afford doing this. The Gamepad IS the Wii U, what is the point if they don't make it necessary? Nobody will buy it then cause it's just a not as good version of PS4 and Xbox one.
@WildKatb This is what we are dealing with here. You do realize the age of consent in various FIRST world countries and areas is as low as 14? The world is big, if this creeps you out then you haven't seen a lot of the world yet. No reason to support obnoxious censorship. It's not so much of it being a big deal as the principle of the game. Bikinis exist, skin exists, yet we are treated like Japan are the adults and the West are children.
Every since the Lords of Shadow Castlevania has gone downhill. Until I see Castlevania be good again I'm not buying. Castlevania is my 2nd favorite series by the way, so it's not easy to say that.
@accc Exactly, the Lords of Shadow series sucks. I don't mind a new direction, but its just too western gameplay and style wise. I want Castlevania that is, you know, feels like CASTLEVANIA.
Ugh, why didn't Pokemon win at 3DS Game of the Year? Oh whatever, it sells like hot cakes anyways.
Didn't expect it to make it on here but Project X Zone is a really great game. Now that was a great 3rd party game. Bravely Default ain't out in the States so hard to say anything there.
Unchained Blades and Senran Kagura are also games that at least deserve some sort of honorable mention for being surprisingly good amidst expectations.
Even as a kid born in 1995, I did know about this show and I believed I watched it a few times. Mad respect man, Mr. Westelman, you will be remembered for ages and ages to come. salutes RIP
Well, as long as the Wii U ain't dropped we will still be playing its games nonetheless. With more fighting games on Steam, there is no reason for me to even get a PS4 at this point.
Honestly, so wonder what stuff Reggie actually decides in NOA. He actually is a good salesman despite the horrible advertising for the a Wii U much of the year.
I don't know how the Wii U will do. Li went to Best Buy midday Black Friday and I didn't see much interest in if despite it being pretty prominent. I'm afraid parents are more likely to buy the past gen 360 or PS3.
OK, what they need is show this commercial everywhere. And I mean everywhere. TV, internet, radio, pirate radio, those little ads before a Blu Ray movie starts, when you open your frig, everywhere. You've been asleep advertising team of the big N, time to make up ground
Yo, if they were able to release Smash and Mario Kart at launch they wouldn't be having these problems. Add updates on Smash to add the 6th gen pokemon later and rebalancing and your done. But nooooooooo, we have to still go after the non existent casual market.
Nintendo has done nothing right in this situation. Pokemon has become a game that is heavy online play and encourages CONSTANT interaction with STRANGERS. The kid friendly image, when in brace to strongly, only hurts Nintendo. They can't get third party devs and other hardcore gamers if they are going to be all "we need to save the children". How about parenting, huh? What happened to the parents' responsibility. My generation and coming generations are f'ed up, and Nintendo can't control that. Little kids are like not innocent AT ALL, that is not Nintendo's problem. Nintendo's job is to make good artistic games and get a profit. When trying to be family friendly gets in the way of gaming experience, there is a problem.
F this. I'm sorry but you have to shut the WHOLE thing down?! It's unnecessary. Let the parents take the responsibilty, its the internet. This won't save those same kids from getting drunk in high and High School cause their parents let them leave the house the 3 days straight on weekends. Most kids today are absolute scum, that's their parents fault, not Nintendo's. This is coming from an 18 year old. I'm sorry Nintendo, but this is garbage.

Re: Senran Kagura Is Bursting Onto European Store Shelves In February
Please buy this game my EU brothers. It's good.
Re: Talking Point: Claims of Wii U Third-Party Development Troubles Shouldn't Be Dismissed Lightly
I'm just wondering what Nintendo is thinking. I swear it doesn't matter what happens they just do whatever. This can be both positive and negative.
Re: You'll Want To Check Out These New Senran Kagura 2 Screenshots
I'm a fan of a first game so hopefully this will get a release. I need more Haruka goodness.
Re: Fresh 2013 UK Hardware Sales Figures Keep 3DS on Top, While Wii U Sells Less Than Vita
Vita is selling more than the Wii U. Time to panic.
Re: MercurySteam's New Next-Gen Title Isn't Coming To Wii U

Re: Weirdness: Chibi-Robo! Photo Finder Has a Virtual Butt Removed in North America

Re: Western Version Of Bravely Default Features Costume Changes For Female Characters
I hate censorship, may not buy this now. It's ridiculous how blowing up heads is fine but a little skin is unacceptable. It's so stupid.

Re: Talking Point: New Year Resolutions for Nintendo
Have Princess Peach, Daisy, and Rosalina in a Mario game. Have Luigi save Daisy. Not necessary something I want 2014, but sometime this generation.
Yeah online needs to actually be as good as it could be too.

Re: Feature: Time to Vote For Your Game of the Year 2013
I'm sorry, but in terms of the series and as a whole, Pokemon X and Y are too godlike. I also had to rep Project X Zone, that game was really fun.
Re: Game of the Year: Nintendo Life's Staff Awards 2013
No Pokemon in any spots, list invalidated. That and as a Castlevania fan, Mirrors of Fate should not be here at all.
Re: Nintendo Acknowledges Network Issues and Suggests Patience

Re: Weirdness: This Game Combines Hello Kitty With Rhythm Cooking and Arcana Heart
