I know I'm in the minority, but I don't fully understand all the negativity with the D-Buttons. I have not had any problem with them. A Joy-Con with a D-Pad would be a nice option, but I've played Blaster Master Zero, Street Fighter and Tetris without any problems. This "problem" feels very first world to me.
@thesilverbrick Yeah, that has happened to me as well, Also, pressing up and two blocks fly down immediately. lol
This might have been mentioned but to everyone complaining about the price, this does come with a charger whereas the new 3DS XL doesn't not. It's not a huge difference; chargers are only like $10 but still, just thought I'd point that out.
I'm curious why this is the only mention of this I've seen online. Given that most sites jump at the opportunity to call out the slightest mistake Nintendo makes, I would think there would be hundreds of articles about how terrible the joy-con wheel is. Perhaps...it's not that big of a deal?
I missed this on the Wii U (after not really enjoying Little Inferno) but I'm really glad I finally picked it up. I enjoy some light programming and figuring out solutions to these puzzles is very fun for me. At least an 8 for me.
Also, I am very impressed with how well the Joy-Con controls work given that they're completely motion based. I can definitely see Wii HD Remasters working very well on Switch.
@OorWullie it's actually a pretty fun movie if you look at it as a B-Movie with Mario references. I went to a 20th anniversary screening of it a couple years ago and I had some good laughs watching it.
@electrolite77 Just because a* game doesnt fit into what you want to doesn't mean it's a terrible game and should fail. Nintendo made a good game but because it isn't the Metroid game that people are demanding, the majority want it to fail.
@nhSnork I'm on iOS and I lost a vulpix like that today. And I actually found an Ivysaur, wasted about 20 pokeballs till the game glitched out in a way or never seen before and I had to restart. That one really hurt lol
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but I would like to say that for me, this has been one of the funnest games I've played in a long time. Every time I play the game I get a little better and I find it very rewarding finding the medals and figuring out how to get Mission Accomplished (I'm refusing to use the internet). I think this is really one of those games where you get out of it what you put into it.
I heard many complaints about the controls and to be honest, I was expecting the game to be underwhelming based on what I had seen from it. But it really surprised me and the only thing I can say is give the game a chance. If you give it a good play through and don't like it, then that's okay but at least you gave it a shot and formed your own opinion.
Personally, I like it when games try something different and honestly, the controls aren't so out there. It still plays a lot like Star Fox 64, the motion just gives you a little more precision.
I would certainly like it if one time an article could mention Metroid Prime Federation Force without making a negative comment. In terms of 3DS games, a Super Mario Maker Player would be nice (obviously it can't handle making levels but I'm sure it could manage playing them).
"it's Yoshio Sakamoto's toy and he can do with it as he pleases."
That pretty much sums up my opinion on the matter. This generation of fans drives me crazy when they think that they can tell a creator of a franchise that they need to create it the way they want. Whether it's Nintendo or Bioware (demanding to change Mass Effect 3's ending) or even George Lucas. They created their franchises and they get to decide what they want to do with them.
Of course, we have the right to not like it and express that, but we don't have the right to demand a change just because we don't like it.
Also, like you said, Metroid Fusion's writing was equally heavy-handed but no one seemed to mind.
Having just recently survived a bad accident (and having a lost a dear friend in that same accident) this hit me harder than I expected. My thoughts are with the family, especially that poor girl who just lost her father so young.
Well, it makes sense. Water is super effective against fire.
This was actually the first Splatfest I got to participate in (things kept getting in the way or I would simply forget) and I have to say it was a lot of fun. I'm glad I chose Team Blue. At one point we had a team of 4 that was unstoppable and we stayed together for a long time. Good fun. It reminded me why Splatoon is awesome.

Re: Metroid Prime: Federation Force Flops on UK Debut
Good job everyone! That'll teach Nintendo to make a good game that isn't 100% conformed to your demands!

I would certainly like it if one time an article could mention Metroid Prime Federation Force without making a negative comment.
In terms of 3DS games, a Super Mario Maker Player would be nice (obviously it can't handle making levels but I'm sure it could manage playing them).

Re: Splatoon And Super Mario Maker Honoured At The Game Awards 2015
I guess the world is coming to an end. Nintendo won best shooter
But in all seriousness that's great Splatoon got the respect it deserved and wasn't written off as a kiddie game.
Not Nintendo related but also great that Rocket League got a couple wins. Anyone that has a PS4 or PC should really check it out.
