This series has always been great. I was going to pick this up, until I realized I had the iOS version free from a while back. We'll see how it controls..
@mshope10 Not the emulation quality nintendo was going for. Not only missing save states, games will continue running when ds is closed. Would I still love GBA games in this format? Yes. Will Nintendo release them? Sadly, no.
Considering Nintendo was transitioning to NX this year, not to mention managing with the unfortunate passing of Iwata, I thought things were alright. While communications with fans was shockingly weak - especially when compared to Sony/MS, I found the output of quality content was a success considering the amount of risks taken. Overall I feel Nintendo has been off track for about five years, and while things are looking bright financially, I'm worried their regressing franchises will never return to the prime era which in my mind is the GameCube and late N64.
Seeing Gunman Clive consistently return on Nintendo consoles and the news of shovel knight amiibo makes me hope one day we'll receive a Gunman Clive amiibo.
As much as I want that amazing looking Majora's Mask XL, it doesn't even come with the game and it is $230 here in Canada. Guess I'll wait until (hopefully) the mini new 3ds comes out.
Note: Thomas Was Alone is a great game but goes on steam for 4$ (or less) quite a lot. Also, Persona Q will probably drop in price as Atlus drops prices quite a lot (Ex Shin Megami Tensei 15$).
Can't the New Super Mario Bros developers leave Nintendo or somethin? Or at least take development time for F-Zero and Metroid. Just think these "revivals" are pretty sad.

Re: Video: First Gameplay Trailer For LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens Has Dogfighting And Plenty Of Backstory
As someone who hasn't played a lego game since the previous star wars entry, excited to play this.
I find these are better when played infrequently and in co-op.

Clever team over there. Always unfortunate to hear this
Re: Talking Point: The Popularity of Nintendo Selects, Updates and DLC Expansions Can Change How We Buy Games
@MrMario02 as much as I agree with you, look at splatoon. A lot of that game's content was held for later release which kept people playing.

Re: Second Week of Throwback Sale Goes Live on North American eShop
Tempted with NES Remix 2 but I have a feeling it might be a Club Nintendo February reward...

Re: Talking Point: The Time Is Right For A Nintendo Phone
I would definitely buy a nintendo phone but that doesn't make me think they should exist.

Sheik is looking very good.
Re: Video: What Could The Legend Of Zelda: Skyward Sword Look Like In HD?
You know I usually love all of Nintendo Life's content, but they need to stop with these cause there's almost no difference at all.
Re: Weirdness: This Super Mario 64 Fan Remake is Fairly Impressive

Re: Review: Yoshi's New Island (3DS)
Can't the New Super Mario Bros developers leave Nintendo or somethin? Or at least take development time for F-Zero and Metroid. Just think these "revivals" are pretty sad.
