@MrHaggi Nintendo already said they're dropping the Wii brand.

@DragonEleven This type of evolution has been done before. Look up Shelmet and its evolved form Accelgor.

Guess the haters will either accept the fact they were wrong to bash a game they never played, or still find a way to hate the game for little to no good reason just to be petty.

Thank Arecus Game Freak didn't screw up Rowlet's evolved form.

@VR32F1END
Gluttons for punishment perhaps?

Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust

@kamikazilucas
I think you mean the better version of Bad Fur Day because Conker Live & Reloaded was censored.

@Galactus_33
One word why releasing the NX early would be a stupid idea: Dreamcast.

Now that that's out of the way. Congrats to the company that has been a major part of my gaming life.

Personally, I haven't seen anything in the interview that says the NX is a Hybrid console.

Doubtful. I'm just glad it never picked up steam because then we'd have to reboot the series just accommodate their version of the game, just like they did with Castlevania.

'Fans getting bent out of shape by the new Pokemon Sun and Moon anime' So? They get bent out of shape each season. The so-called 'fans' don't know what they want. Say they do change the animation to like it was during X & Y, they'll still complain its more of the same. Some people just cannot be happy with what they got.

@shaneoh
As far as I know, they never charged for mythicals. They were always offered for free via download at either specific locations such as Gamestop or at Nintendo live events. In fact, the only time Nintendo ever charged for anything Pokemon related is the PokeBank.

'sees the words card game' Are they sure they were trying to compete with Pokemon, not Magic: The Gathering?

Nintendo: ...Release the hounds.

Hopefully if a 3rd Party buys the Earthworm Jim IP, I hope to any deity it's not going to be EA.

Personally, I see the delays doing more good than harm to the AC & FE mobile's. It gives Nintendo more time to work on those games and catch any bugs and glitches that they might of missed had the game launched on schedule and had to issue a lengthy patch some weeks later that will require another patch as the last patch made it unplayable.

Patch from Microsoft in 3... 2... 1...

@Giygas_95
They can only do it for so long until people start coming for them with torches and pitchforks.

Good god Nintendo, SHOW THE NX ALREADY! I just want these rumors to either be confirmed or put to rest once and for all. If this 'info' came from the WSJ, I'm having a hard time believing it as they are owned by the same guy that also owns Fox, the news station that went to court for the right to lie.

To those saying the Wii U is dead, to change a quote from Douglas MacArthur 'Old systems never die; they just fade away.'

Wow, only seen a Snorlax move that fast when someone mentions an all-you-can-eat buffet.

@LegendOfPokemon
Some of us beg to differ.

One of my favorites that wasn't on the list: Illusion of Gaia.

Checked up on this when I wondered why it looked familiar. Now I know why, it was made by the same people that made The Neverhood and its sequel.

I thought there was already a cross involving Pokemon & Fire Emblem called Super Smash Bros.?(j/k incase someone misunderstands)

@TrueWiiMaster
The thing is, to this bishop if it wasn't created by the church, it's the work of the devil.

@ThanosReXXX
Oh that would be the ultimate irony.

Apparently Antonio Stagliano doesn't want people having fun. The only people I seen speaking out against Pokemon Go have been nothing but a bunch of political and/or religious killjoys with nothing better to do.

@gatorboi352
Seriously? Had Nintendo went that route, you would have to pay to play online(As far as I know, Nintendo is the only one not charging to play online as for the PS4 you need Playstation Plus and Xbox One needs Xbox Live Gold, both which charge you per month), there also wouldn't be a good Virtual Console as EA would make sure no competition would be green lit(Meaning no Shovel Knight and the free DLC's for it and no Shantae and the Pirate's Curse), including any Nintendo's own games, and if Nintendo collaborated with any other company(Like what they did with Tecmo which resulted in the successful Hyrule Warriors), EA would pull the plug on the online and Nintendo wouldn't be able to do a thing about it as EA would have complete control of it.

Sorry Moore, but EA's actions speak alot louder than what you are saying. If you want to get back in Nintendo fan's good graces, then do not give us half-assed, late full priced ports. And no reskined of last years games are not going to cut it either.

Interesting concept. But I will wait until Nintendo reveals what the NX looks like and its name before I get my hopes up.

I like when Nintendo does something like this. Now the infamous Bounty Hunter has been added to my Mii collection alongside Mario, Link & both male and female Inklings. I just wish they wouldn't make the game to get these hard and unpredictable. I wasted 9 tickets and all I got to show for it is Samus' Power Suit and a mini-Ridley. They should at least put the armor on sale in the shop as an optional means of getting them.

Personally, I'm just glad we're getting a new Metroid game period, I'm not very picky when it comes to new entries in my favorite series. When Federation Force was first shown, I wasn't like many Metroid 'fans' that bashed the game. I was more than willing to give it the benefit of the doubt. I have yet to play it because of a lack of 2 things: Money and a 3DS. So until then, I will keep my opinion to myself.

@potatomage7
The game is still in development. The graphics are also still being worked on.

The title of this article is misleading. The producer never mentioned why Samus isn't in.

Everyone that's complaining about this are nothing more than self-entitled fanbrats. To those saying they rather have this be a original IP instead as part of Metroids, the fans still won't be happy because 'Nintendo is waisting time on a new IP instead of Metroids'. And many Nintendo fans don't see this self-entitled attitude is why overs don't take Nintendo fans seriously and see us as a joke.

Tingle is already in Smash Bros. as an Assist Trophy, which suits him better than a fighter imo. But since Sony's version of Shovel Knight has Kratos & Microsoft's version is getting Battletoads, Nintendo should get something as well. I wouldn't mind if it was Tingle in the slightest.

@Gerbwmu
There's Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem, that's for Wii U.

Only reinforces imo that Ryu doesn't fit in Smash Bros.

Don't like it. It makes the sprites look like Mr. Game & Watch in Smash Bros compared to the 3D background.

@NintenJoe
There's that, or it could be Ryu from the Breath of Fire series. If its him or the Modern Super Ninja, I wouldn't complain. But SF Ryu on the other hand, Capcom needs to stop including him in every crossover game that involves Capcom.

@Hy8ogen
Yeah, as a PS4 timed exclusive, then it's hitting PC and that's it.

To those saying 'this should of been at launch', Nintendo did not think the speed was an issue since they got no complaints about the speed from their testers.

Wasn't these guys already backing Banjo-Kazooie? Doesn't matter to me, chose Simon Belmont.

Those blank spaces been there since the site launched last year, not an indicator of more characters.

Someone should tell Team Meat that Meat Boy's cameo in another game does not mean he's eligible for Super Smash Bros. To those that think I'm lying, he made cameo's in 3 of the Bit.Trip series games. Bit.Trip Runner, Bit.Trip Fate & Bit.Trip Presents... Runner 2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien(The first two were on WiiWare, the third is on Wii U).

@duffmmann
Sakurai already stated there will be no transformations in mid-battle, which is why Pokemon Trainer along with Ivysaur and Squirtle was removed and Shiek & Zero Suit Samus were made separate fighters. So your Young Link idea just bit the dust.

I know I'm tempting fate here, but I'm enjoying the fact no one has brought up a certain CGI movie character. But to anyone that does, I'll have High Command send a few of my fellow Space Pirate Commandos to hunt you down

@IceClimbers
Sorry about that, I didn't see a /sarc tag

@IceClimbers
Pokemon was a game before it was an anime.
