An easy solution would be voice chat, if they weren't so opposed to it. You can get a very similar experience to the local feeling with that, especially when playing with close friends.
While I'm fine with this despite it being disappointing, that excuse is pretty bad. Super Smash Bros. 3DS looks far better graphically than Pokemon X/Y, and that'll probably make good use of the 3D.
Wow, you guys couldn't have mentioned this during the Steam Summer Sales? Had to wait until right after? Would have bought Medieval II in a heartbeat had I known about this.
I really like how I looked at this list and said to myself, "Wow, not a single bad game this month!" And sure enough the first comment down is complaining about bad selection.
If anything, I want this to be made so everyone will shut up about it instead of embracing sequels. It blows my mind that people complained that A Link Between Worlds looks like "another Link to the Past" and then turn around and demand a Majora's Mask remake (not even a sequel)! Sometimes fans are the worst, man.
This is sure to be a ton of fun even though it's announcement wasn't received as well as anything not-Donkey Kong would have been.
That said, if they were working on another Nintendo franchise, I'd really it rather not be a Metroid one. They had a good run of three very solid Prime games, and it's time for them to reinvent another franchise in my opinion. Mach Rider, Takamaru, or perhaps even Star Fox since they're great with scifi.
Pretty excited for this. Another title released on the Wii for a budget price on launch day was Rhythm Heaven Fever. Can't wait to see what the Rhythm Heaven team does with Wii U.
I've had one since February. Imported it just for MH3U. No regrets. It's absolutely great, and feels very comfortable to hold. Makes playing Monster Hunter between the Wii U and 3DS feel like the same experience.
An absolute shame this most likely won't come here. It's a splendid series that you can just hop in and enjoy at any time, much like Lupin III. Would love to see how a game would play.
The other day an opportunity arose where my family wanted to look at pictures from a recent trip on the TV. That's when it hit me that only the Wii has the ability to do a photo slideshow on the TV through an SD card, as they've removed any sort of photo channel from the Wii U without going to the Wii menu. That's the only thing it has going for it left, though. Other than backwards compatibility to the GameCube (which I used in my recent revisit of Luigi's Mansion).
How exactly would this play without a thumbstick and L button? And wouldn't your finger get in the way of the action? Especially if you have to have a thumb on a digital joystick, claw your left index finger up to reach a digital L button, and aim and charge shots with your right index finger. Just sounds like a manual nightmare.
This is one of my absolute favorite eShop games and I play it time and time again whenever I have a few minutes to spare, but even with that kind of accessibility, it simply isn't built to control well on something without buttons.
Been following Kamiya for over a year now. "Ask Capcom" is his answer to any game he made while with Clover that fans ask about remaking or rereleasing.
I would love to know if I need to have played the first one to get maximum enjoyment out of this. I didn't manage to play any of the Bit.Trip games, so this would be my first. Would hate if I miss some inside jokes or references or what have you because of that.
After the tremendous disappointment of the other versions, I sure hope this is at least closer to that old E3 demo. Gearbox massacred this game everywhere else.
Just played Journey for the first time recently! It's absolutely wonderful and totally magical. One of the very few games I can actually call a perfect game.
That Twilight Princess costume is not only spot-on, but looks pretty natural in its transition to the real world-- something that very few costumes can ever pull off. I imagine she'd fit the part should a film ever be made (which, while it shouldn't, could be done right with attention to detail like this).
I'm currently replaying the first Epic Mickey after a lovely trip to Disneyland made me crave more Oswald. I've yet to pick up the second game, but many tell me it's significantly worse than the first, which is a shame because I thoroughly enjoy Epic Mickey. If they fixed up everything for a third installment, I'd be all over it.
I think this could easily knock Skylanders out of the park. As a Disney fan and collector myself, I was getting really excited watching the trailer and thinking about the possibilities of what characters could be in it. I'd just pick up a handful of my favorites and be good to go. Looks great.
Pikmin 1 was absolutely wonderful. I didn't care as much for Pikmin 2, though I did love all the real world objects in it so I hope that returns. The fact that 90% of Pikmin 2 was in dark, dimly lit caves was a huge turn off after the lush colorful maps of Pikmin 1. I warmly welcome back stress and time pressure. The sun being your biggest enemy in the first Pikmin was intense.
Darn shame that Pandora's Tower, the only game I actually wanted from Rainfall, never made it over. And it seems like Rainfall gave up after The Last Story. Darn shame.
What a nifty little article! Those close-ups you have of this Game Boy Light's buttons are phenomenal. Always wanted it, being a huge fan of Tezuka myself. I certainly hope you cover the Cardcaptor Sakura Game Boy Color!
Not only is that Back to the Future set incredible, but this other Zelda set based on Twilight Princess' designs looks even better than Mingles' to me! Sure hope it gets made!
As long as 3 comes out in March I can wait. 4 looks like it needs some polish anyway, and I'll probably snag it when it has its remake ala Portable 4th or Ultimate.

Re: Review: Mach Rider (3DS eShop)
One of my favorite NES games. I hope to see it revived like Kid Icarus one day!
Re: Kiki's Koi Koi Is Coming To The Wii U eShop
Will it be online? I enjoy Hanafuda but rarely have friends around to play it with, so it would be nice to be able to play it with others online.
Re: Sakurai Re-iterates That There'll Be No Subspace Emissary-Style Story in Super Smash Bros.
As long as Adventure Mode returns that's fine. I liked it a lot in Melee.

Re: Junichi Masuda Confirms That the Pokémon X & Y Overworld is 2D Only

Re: Club Nintendo Japan Gets A Trio of Awesome T-Shirts
I would love all of these, wow. Much better than a tote bag I'll probably use once a year MAYBE.
Re: Nintendo Download: 22nd August (North America)

Re: Sega and Gearbox Sued By Irate Gamer Over "Misleading" Aliens: Colonial Marines Footage
The story of Aliens: Colonial Marines is such a depressing tragedy. I hope actions are taken so that such betrayal can never happen again.
Re: Shigesato Itoi Says Mother 4 Would Be "Impossible"
No problem to me, but I hope they choose to localize Mother 3 with that fan translation going around.

It baffles me that people would rather have a remake than a new game. Zelda fans are the absolute worst.

The only worse thing you could do than report on Michael Pachter quotes is report on Phil Fish quotes.
Re: Review: Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon (3DS)

Re: Crystal Dynamics Explains Why Tomb Raider Isn't Coming To Wii U
