gee now if they could only make a decent fricken sonic game that isn't "sonic boom"-ing problems.

Here's an Idea Nintendo, get third party titles onto the NX. And market stuff to older audiences instead of just kids for god's sake. Nintendo really needs to grow into the gaming industry I mean really, how many 3rd party titles got missed and never made it to the Wii U so far?. I love Nintendo but they need to go to the Mature level and have everything on the NX. I really hope NX hits higher in sales then Wii U did.

Even though I already have the 3ds version I'm definitely buying the Wii version after im done. This game definitely deserves another playthrough for me. For X.....that's another story

I've heard some controversial topics on the controls in star fox zero . But personally I haven't gotten zero, I actully bought guard digitally and I gotta say that it's really fun.I like the idea of controlling 12 different cameras with guns to defend a base. I already beat the 1st planet world corneria in guard too. And I'm definitely looking forward with what updates they could possibly do with guard.

Geez in the u.k they make you get a serial code at a store? Well I guess its the same boat as going to gamestop and getting it or EB games. But i just wish they would do it over Wifi instead of making you drive somewhere for a piece of cardboard with a 5-12 digit code. just why can't they do them over Wifi.

Probably my favorite Mario RPG game honestly.

Really don't understand why they didn't make a new metroid game for Wii U like metroid prime 4 instead of ......well this. Everyone wants a new metroid with samus Aran in it and for it to be a good story that goes along with the past metroid games. Common Nintendo people want the real deal instead of spinoffs. It's like how people wanted a new animal crossing for wii U then they make a crappy board game out of the idea of having an HD animal crossing.

@MussakkuLaden You just read my mind, Mario party 1 was an amazing game that definitely would make the top 5 best mario party games.

Lets hope we get a LEGIT animal crossing on the NX. And I still can't believe that they thought a board game was a good idea.

They really should add physical rewards like club Nintendo did. Getting something cool that you can't buy anywhere else was a cool
concept with club Nintendo and I really hope they add more than just digital offers.

Amazing bundle however its still disappointing to see no other faceplates sold in stores across retailers in the U.S. Anyone can compare night and day for what Europe and Japan has for faceplate options. I'm not saying that these faceplates arent amazing but it would be nice to sell faceplates in stores like Europe and japan have. Store space is small for selling 3ds faceplates?? How ...lol

I got overly excited when I saw Geno appear as a mii costume. It would have been way better for him to be a actual character for smash instead of the costume but im happy square finally realised that Geno hasn't made any form of comeback since the release of super mario RPG . And yes I voted for him in the ballot to be in smash.

I love the 3ds.It is an amazing the system that sold 50million+ units . And the games that are offered on it are great. Xenoblade chronicles is my absolute first favorite JRPG that I got to play. (I missed out on the wii version sadly).And say what you want about the 3ds version having horrible textures but I say it looks amazing from the atmosphere perspective. And of course there is a TON of other great games on it that I have yet to play. Whenever I want to play a game on the go I choose the 3ds over any free to play IOS/android game. (not that I even played any...lol)

@Undead_terror seeing their twitter burn was a heck of a movie also , and they sure deserve it after screwing over Kojima at the game awards.
And I was also amazed to see that developers are angry at konami for what they did to kojima.Have a look.

#SHOVELKNIGHT4SMASH!

It would be great seeing Nintendo and Microsoft working together. Imagine if rare replay came to the Wii U eshop!

Hey I don't mind this news at all! . I definitely wanted this to happen for a while even though it is a bit late for the Wii U. I will happily enjoy this

Its really amazing that splatoon won 2 rewards and It almost made me tear up seeing that Iwata tribute. And I still to this day cant believe konami would pull a shady move like that , how DARE they not allow their most worked developer (Hideo Kojima) to claim the reward that HE earned. And hey wait theirs GOOD news , lots developers are angry with konami pulling the most B.S move they did. I got a link so enjoy reading this. The ground is crumbling beneath Konami already.

@empsolo fire emblem has nothing to do with sega and people want older titles to have remasters or re-released old games like streets of rage.
@Artwark youre better off wishing Konami goes bankrupt than Sega(Good GOD that move konami pulled at the game awards...screw konami ) , so why bother hoping for them to go bust they haven't done anything remotely wrong.

Well sadly this could mean bankruptcy for Sega if another failed game like sonic boom gets released. And they have a ton of other games they could release besides sonic games.

The atmosphere of Xenoblade chronicles is outstanding and the characters are really great. The story of the Bionis and the mechonice will probrably be my favorite story and plot when it comes to future Xenoblade chronicles titles , unless of course they make a sequel which I would highly love it if they did. 2 Ginormous Titans , 1 weapon that can save humanity (Monado). And 1 extremely glorious story. It beats the Xenoblade chronicles X story and plot in my opinion.

Its nice that Nintendo finally understood that playing local with someone with another 3ds isn't always available . my guess for friendly coins is that they will be offered through rubees or play coins.

while it is quiet the harsh lawsuit that the pokemon company demands 4,000$ it is their own franchise that they own so im on the fence about this . I personally think that they should have left them off with a warning for them not to do it again instead of shooting lawsuit lawyers directly at them and demanding $ 4,000 charge.

Really hope the prizes are put into a global type system where ALL Nintendo account supported countries can order the prizes they wish to have. This was a HUGE problem with club Nintendo , especially North america ...It was a huge decline for the prize selection from 2010 got worse overtime all the way to the end...at least for America it was atrocious. Remember when there was nothing but kirby patches and greeding cards+ a few game download options , weren't those the cold days?. I have my fingers crossed for a good selection and good quality rewards.
Im still salty to this day over what a great idea that was mario kart 7 trophies that NEVER came to NA.

Amazing review for the game. Im a HUGE fan of the Xenoblade chronicles games and am extremely exited to play this on christmas. Now I have stated before that I dont care for the story that Xenoblade chronicles X has to offer and I still do stand by that opinion to this day and have been shying away from videos because when I first saw the anounced title I was hyped as bloody heck I was like "XENOBLADE CHRONICLES X! =NEW SHULK STORY! ....WITH THE MONADO! IN HD!!!!" then I see the new storyline with the new characters and heres my First impressions on the new videos of the game I saw" oh...its um new characters.. ok? ....wait where is shulk?...or the Monado ....or DUNBAN?? and where the bloody heck ... is Reyn with his ITS REYN TIME!" I had too high of expectations for it being another Shulk game honestly but Ill gladly play this one and enjoy the new attack mechanics with a new atmosphere in glorious HD. And i will even add this to my final thoughts on the game ....If this turned out to be the game I thought it would be and I would had finished watching every videos Nintendo had put out for the game If it was a Xenoblade chronicles 2 HD. But still am hyped for Christmas ....its like waiting for smash bros all over again lol.

This definitely should come to the U.S and Europe .This would be useful when the gamepad needs to be a replacement, however I think Nintendo should put an option to use Wii U without the gamepad being on if you were to use the pro controller or the wii remote alone.

It must've been a challenge adding yoshi in MM. It would also be good to get some features like connecting pipes , themes , angry sun, more enemies from the original games and slopes.@McGuire and mario bros 2 designer in MM would be the icing on the cake.

Dear people that keep begging Shigesat itoi. I want you to make a game that's a huge RPG and come up with every idea you can possibly think for it and develop the ENTIRE thing. drops mic. And yes mother 3 VC NEEDS to come to other countries other than just japan.

Things that would have been better with the release of the game. Online Tournament mode that is similar to the one for SSB. Game Modes including minigames. Joinable friends with modes such as 2 vs 2 co-op or 1v 1 OR with amiibo being a 2 vs 2 against your friend. More amiibo options instead of just the use of mario party amiibo. Setting up Customizable tennis rackets that you could include different powers for the racket your using and have the option to use it online. Custom move sets for special moves. (again making one similar to how smash bros does custom options). And yeah that list would have made at least a rating of an 8 and of course their could be more added than just that, like more characters and game modes.

scampers be like: Welp even though it's just gold paint they spray painted over the blue mega man amiibo the only real thing the gold Mega man amiibo unlocks is value and I will sell over 100$ on ebay. (Me: smh)But I don't understand why they decided to not include Europe for the MM gold amiibo I mean seriously it's unnecessary not to make it not available for other regions of the world.

I might pick it up , I really enjoyed the Wii U version and having the game on a portable console is pretty good. Though I can imagine the game having less hords of enemies and being highly downscaled in graphics. But none the less i'm looking forward to it!

@Grumblevolcano true I defiantly wont be finished with it for a while but I do tend to Jump around to other games(keeping it at 2 pretty much) but Hyrule warriors will get its big play time.

Ughhhhh I cant choose a favorite yet let alone im still going to play new upcoming Wii U games like Xenoblade chronicles X and Twilight princess HD but here is a current top 5 list.
1.super Mario maker
2. Super mario 3d world
3.now I havent COMPLETELY finished Hyrule warriors I mean I just got it and am really enjoying it so...3
4.Mario kart 8
5.Super smash bros
But yeah for now that's my top 5 but not a complete final list for me to make a top 10 because I'm getting more Wii U titles as I said in the first sentence of the comment.

Its a shame the wii U got the poor marketing it got , because I really love the system but some things I do wish Nintendo did better for the Wii U that possibly could have stopped Nintendo from making that atrocious profit loss they had in....im going to say 2013? (correct me if that year is wrong).
Good marketing
good 3rd party support (which failed miserably)
I do love the gamepad myself and the gamepad IS a good controller but the console really needs at least a pro controller bundled with it for what the original price of the wii U was going for , therefore they should've had the option to not even have the gamepad on while using a different controller .
and ...oh boy...32GB ......when the ps4 and the XBONE had 500GB hard drives...must we say anything more?
Better hardware
Better friend request interface.
Not constantly focusing on "kid friendly choices" that miiverse suffers from...especially with those Mature title community's that I swear everyone of them states"please remember the code of conduct applies to all". Overall I love the Wii U and its 1st party game library of games and its the only 8th gen console I own and have been very pleased with it. I look forward to the upcoming titles like Xenoblade. Now nintendo just needs to take these notes for with the NX and I have my hopes for Nintendo to deliver.

63 years of pure golden ideas and great work at Nintendo. Happy 63rd birthday Miyamoto!

@617Sqn wow really you play Nintendo games but you don't even respect the fact that the person who created MARIO and been alive for 63 years has changed the industry with one of the most creative IPs , yet you don't care about who myamoto is and care what work he does for Nintendo. Wanna delete your comment now lad? look im not trying to be offensive im just stating my words on how I feel about you making a comment like that because it baffles me.

I don't understand why they made a female character for link I mean im not totally against it but its weird that they make a different gendered link and im not being sexists ether I would say the same if they made a Male samus for a metroid game.

@AlexOlney Eh fair point all that really matters to me is the gameplay and how the game is going to be different from xenoblade chronicles(lets not discuss on how I feel about the title ....and the plot....and the ...story)

hey nintendolife I already saw it on GXs youtube channel before this post was even made...... Oh nintendolife I just love how your looking up to a higher reviewer for information...lol ...CREATE YOUR OWN INFORMATION AND THOUGHTS ABOUT THE GAME AND STOP COPYING AND PASTING VIDEOS FROM OTHER REVIEWERS(yes the tangent was necessar) (and yes i do love GX a ton btw).. and on my thoughts about the chest size thing I honestly dont care to be honest Im just going to focus on the game itself other than the characters .

@Goob keep in mind that the game isn't completely finished and is possible this isn't the final product being made so I wouldn't officially jump on the thought that says "this is the final development of the "HD" graphics in the game!???....wooooooow"

*correction on recent comment, gamecube release of wind waker then turned into the better glorius HD version on wii U.

@ReshaSong lets just hope the Graphics turn into how the original gamcube release of wind waker was to the Wii U HD remake. I have high hopes and expectations

Pretty obvious that TP HD development wasn't yet finished with the HD render in time for the direct so im expecting the game to look a LOT better than that.

.predictions/ anounced things, Announcing new games possibly?.smash ballot ,Zelda twilight princess HD ,Mario maker dlc , Triforce heroes dlc, Mario sunshine 2 / remake ( maybe.... or also probably not happening) . Minecraft for wii U , shovel knight amiibo release date announcement? More Xenoblade chronicles X information. And more updates about upcoming games , mario tennis , Fire emblem fates ..etc. and thats about all I could think of.

Not a bad idea for the 3ds and If you wanted to you could just skip paying for plays and get free plays by the practice claw. I was hoping though that once I completed getting all the badges for the Super famicom theme .. I would get that background for a 3ds theme but oh well. And 1$ is next to nothing if you want the 5 plays instantly.

@Captain_Gonru.....that is a bit of a stretch I mean X being 9 games .....that doesn't make much sense. But they never even officially stated it was a a sequel or a prequel to Xenoblade chronicles.

I personally am exited for the direct....#THEHYPETRAINISREAL

Hmmm as much as I hate the story behind XCX , This video did show a lot of interesting stuff. Im also curious if XCX is bigger than the original XC? I like some ideas that are put into XCX and the battle mechanics look good. Pretty much for me when I play this game I will happily ignore the story(im not explaining why ,I already stated it in multiple comments) and enjoy the large HD environment.

@rjejr I personally am a very heavily type of person who deeply loves the original characters and the story ( depending on what the game is and how the story goes) and Nopon = a connection to XC ? mehhhhh ...I mean yes it is somewhat(keyword there is somewhat) of a connection to XC but not really...to me at least. XC just makes me want to have more attention to the characters and especially the Bionis. To me if this game was formed differently to be an HD Xenoblade chronicles 2 and to be about a story of mechon returning and how they would plan to destroy bionis and with an earth type land Land discoverd....with loads of mechon?! (the story could obviously be different im just imagining things) I would fricken love the appearance of this game. And who knows a true sequel would be amazing (at least to me)

@rjejr yeah with XC and the original release of the game for Wii I hate the fact that some gamestops even took the plastic off the game and resold it for 90$ and claimed that the game was pre-owned which was the dumbest thing that a retailer could do. XC is one of the greatest RPG game I could've played.....now moving on to XCX.... In my opinion on XCX and for the entire plot , story , the name of the game itself .....Why call it Xenoblade "CHRONICLES" X When it has nothing to do with XC??? The story and atmosphere is nothing like XC...... (what was the name of the new Xenblade again?). Why did they remove their amazing characters like shulk ( WHERE IS THE MONADO) Dunban ,sharla etc. THE BIONIS?.....overall I will enjoy the game but It will make me want to miss the old story and the amazing characters.......and the...Monado. deep sighs
