@briwipdx It is a really fun game! Nintendo Life gave it a 9/10 in the review. If they review it again in 5 years will it maintain that score? Only time will tell, I guess. Nintendo may release enough content to sustain a fun game after the party is over or we may find it in abundance in bargain bins at record low sales price.
Tried to play this new level but the game forced me to play the skate park level 8 times in a row so I gave up. But I shouldn't complain. We should all be happy for what they allow us to do after purchasing the game for only 60 dollars. It's not like I took the effort to track down amiibos and spend another 40 dollars to unlock content of the game. It's my fault. This game is so awesome!
@Captain_Gonru I have this game. It's OK. Pretty boring overall. Maybe relative to phone games it's pretty good. I won't pay 3 to 10 times the amount just to have it on Wii U though.
Last time Nintendo was on par with competition was SNES. Tons of great games, 1st party and 3rd party. Started going downhill with the cart based N64 and Nintendo has never recovered that 3rd party support. Only Nintendo fans and parents of young kids will buy a system in 2016 that is roughly as powerful as a PS3.
"Are you still plugging away at Splatoon? If not, will the promise of new weapons tempt you back?" The thrill is gone. Needs more modes/customization. No matter how many slightly different weapons are released, this game is too thin.
a little tiny gamepad screen is NOT more immersive than my big @$$ flat screen . Also that big @$$ flat screen is why I purchase game consoles. Now, all will be forgiven if gamepad play is optional and traditional controls are available.
Can't believe we didn't get a glimpse of the one game that all Nintendo fans are universally clamoring for... Mad Men Football. Thanks AE, for single handedly killing the Wii U.
"We still haven't given up on Wii U 100% but if we can't make it work we will move to the next Nintendo machine." Ian, No one wants your crummy 3 to 4 year old port on the NX. You failed on the Wii U and you will fail on the NX. Stop making excuses and just admit your talents are not good enough at this time.
You can always count on good ole Nintendo life homerism to put a positive spin on any shortcomings. Looking forward to trying this if I can finally put down Water Warfare.
Nintendo is really clueless to release a system without a charger. Hey let's sell a toy without batteries! Not to mention you need a screwdriver to put in an sd card. Wow. Did they really have to pair each improvement with a disappointment ? I love Nintendo but their last 5 years can be defined by "missed opportunities".
If you are having trouble digesting the review scores, try my method of interpretation. I see the scores as an estimation of overall fun give or take 3 points. Where you see the score as a 7, I see it as somewhere between a 4 and 10. Hope this helps!
Unfortunately most people can only play one 3DS at a time. Unfortunately if you bought the 3ds, the xL , and New 3ds you can have your Downloads only on one system. So essentially you have paid 600$ for your 3ds but can only use one. I have no sympathy for poor lil Nintendo as they are just as guilty of thievery . I bought DKC trilogy SNES for Wii VC. My system became corrupt and I had to redownload everything. Guess what? These games were removed from Wii Shop. So Nintendo has 24$ from me and I have nothing for it. For the people asking for harsh punishments for the heinous act of playing a rom, I dare you to live a little. Maybe do something CRAZY like rip off the tag from your mattress.
The age of homebrew 3ds begins with the New 3ds. Many will upgrade (for the second time) leaving a barely obsolete 3ds just lying around waiting to be tinkered with. Can't say Nintendo doesn't deserve it.
I worry about some of you people calling people disgusting and despicable for selling something that belongs to them. Sad and pathetic viewpoints, seek help please.

Re: Review: Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards (Wii U eShop / N64)
@Farpun I view the review score as The score given + or - 3.
Since the original review was a 5, the actual score is somewhere between a 2/10 and 8/10.

Re: Poll: What Did You Think of Nintendo's E3 Digital Event?
Loved the opening with the puppets, just fizzled out after that. Felt like Nintendo was saying we are phasing out the Wii U.
Re: There's Another New Weapon Coming To Splatoon Today
@Reusinck I bought it day 1. It's a lot of fun. Wish there were more modes and more customization to matches.
