The women in my family love Nintendo. I can't get them to play Playstation or Xbox. I read somewhere that 60% of gamers a female. Whether that's spot on or not, I think Nintendo has pioneered that demographic better than anyone. Problem is that touch pad devices makes up pretty much the majority of what women are playing. Its "cool", while consoles just aren't. Traditional consoles are stable, but just not as significant. That's my two cents worth.
I think this was brilliant. They should phase out the smaller models. They're pointless when you've got a far superior one sitting next to it and a cheaper 2DS.
@sinalefa Who doesn't hate Tingle? That was the worst. I bought the GOTY edition, but you can't keep his creepy face from downloading you want the rest. And what does he have to do with Majora's Mask? Maybe they included him because he's freaky like skullkid.
False advertising galore. So basically buying these things was a waste of money because I have to buy more versions of the same characters. Anyone else feel robbed? The picture next to these things shows they are compatible with 5 games, which now isn't true.
I still don't get it. What's the point of the action figures? Are we supposed to fight our figure and have fun? I'm not sure how that's revolutionary or fun.
Wow. I didnt know who Phil Spencer was 5 months ago. They must be spending all their money on trying make him cool. In other words they're trying to make an artificial Reggie.
AC3 & 4 are the last ones i'll buy. Not because of the Wii U support, but simply because I have no interest in the new ones. I would buy Rogue if they put it on Wii U, but I cant buy it for my last gen ps3. Unity is not my thing and I don't care to play the game of LLes Miserables.
I remember the Sega game gear commercial making fun of the green black screen showing some kid dazed and confused while playing native Indian music. It was hilarious and honestly I don't how we played on that thing. I absolutely love playing 6 golden coins on my 3DS. We sure have come a long way.
This is not an ad. I released Super Puzzle Guy Adventure on Ouya before thinking about moving it to Wii U; everyone keeps telling me it reminds them of super mario world, but over and over again I keep telling them the game was inspired by Plok. Thanks Nintendolife for posting this so now the masses have a clue of what I was talking about. In many ways Plok inspired many games including Rayman.
They did a terrific job on the security features. I think Sony is behind and doing a good job catching up. Microsoft... well you turn on security then nothing works, so choose between occasional gore ads from popping up or a locked down DVD player.
This is a strange day for Nintendo. Mario Kart and then more hype of a different Zelda game. Maybe they are letting decision makers go, which would be a huge relief for fans. Just start releasing the stuff you got ready that you keep holding onto until Japan says now.
I agree that if this was false advertising then whoever showed the video should be liable. I'm not sure it should be the company, but rather the execs who knew it wasn't looking good and made the decision to air it. I watch all gameplay videos before I make a purchase and I believe most gamers do. If they are claiming that that they didn't try and target potential buyers with false previews, then that claim is absurd.
And an annual 3ds with better graphic fidelity, for those who wish to upgrade. All games should have adjustable graphics like a pc. Bam, the future. That wasn't so hard.
I'm not sure this quarter is any indication of anything except Reggie cleaning up Iwata's mess in America. We'll see if he can fix the damage done the last three years of Iwata focusing on the US.

Re: Capcom Offers 5 Beginner Tips On How To Become A Better Monster Hunter
I preordered it, but seriously doubt it will be near as good as 3 on Wii U.
Re: Video: Eiji Aonuma Shows Off Gyroscope Aiming in The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D
The controls were great in OOT. Glad they are doing that again.

Re: Review: Battleminer (3DS eShop)
I bought it and its devoid of anything fun. Hopefully they can update it with better animations and better control
Re: Club Nintendo to Close, With Replacement Loyalty Programme Coming Later in the Year
Definetely needs improvement. You feel ripped off in more ways than none.
Re: Zelda: Majora's Mask New 3DS Bundles Available For Pre-Order On UK Nintendo Store
Majoras Mask was not a very good Zelda game. Just going to remind everyone what you already know. Sure would like to see a 3D Twilight Princess.

I think this was brilliant. They should phase out the smaller models. They're pointless when you've got a far superior one sitting next to it and a cheaper 2DS.
Re: Nintendo Download: 15th January (North America)
For those who remember, Mario Galaxy was the highest scoring game from reviews ever. Some sites had given it perfect scores.

Re: Parent Trap: Can Biff, Chip And Kipper On 3DS Really Help Kids To Read?
I wish they would release in the U.S.
Re: New Nintendo 3DS Models Announced
I'm cool with a silent upgrade. Maybe make the resolution high definition too. Rather than having a noisy e3 announcement, make an upgrade every year.
Re: Somebody At Ubisoft Really Doesn't Like Mario Kart 8's Mercedes-Benz DLC
Yeah. The Mercedes thing is kind of a stupid idea. You gotta admit it people.
Re: Poll: Which Is The Best Super Mario Platformer?
Sunshine is a personal favorite, however mario always delivers a top notch quality experience. I can't say I've ever really been dissapointed.

Re: Sonic Boom Games Now Have Their Official European Release Date, Shadow Confirmed
Looks like fun. I'm buying it.
Re: Ubisoft Clarifies Reasoning For The Crew Skipping Wii U
Skipping the ps3 was a huge mistake. As far as Wii U, well there just isn't any money there yet. Good business decision.
Re: Zen Studios States That Wii U Pinball News is "Coming Soon"
I've never even heard of this. I saw Zen and I thought it was some voodoo pinball game. Now that I'm looking through the tables it looks pretty good.
Re: Zen Studios States That Wii U Pinball News is "Coming Soon"
Cool, plants vs zombies. I'm getting it.

Re: Weirdness: Mario, Luigi, and Sonic Are Advertising A Chinese Mobile Phone Network
China invented piracy. There's no way Nintendo can get through the red tape.

Re: Video: The Latest Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate Trailer is Serene and Gorgeous
If its not on Wii U then it should be called Monster Hunter 3.5
Re: Nintendo of America Confirms Wii U Virtual Console Titles For Next Two Weeks
I guess they just don't like to make money. Another quarter of dismal sales. Thanks Iwata

This is a strange day for Nintendo. Mario Kart and then more hype of a different Zelda game. Maybe they are letting decision makers go, which would be a huge relief for fans. Just start releasing the stuff you got ready that you keep holding onto until Japan says now.
Re: Super Mario Kart Speeds Onto the North American Wii U eShop
Smart move Nintendo.
Re: Feature: Hyrule Warriors - Everything We Know So Far
@Yurikun
ha ha. I'm glad I'm not the only one who caught that. Another quarter of dismal sales.

Good game to test this on.

Re: Renegade Kid Announces Metroidvania Game Xeodrifter for 3DS eShop
I'll buy it. No question.
Re: Nintendo Network Maintenance Scheduled For Just Before The Hyrule Warriors Direct
This is getting its own direct?!! This is not a good year for Nintendo. How about a touchpad inventory game like Minecraft or Terraria? Not this junk.

They need a cheaper version of the console. That's all.
