Odnetnin

RIP to one of the best writers and people I've ever known. Wish I stayed in contact with him in recent years, he was an amazing mentor to me back in the day.

@Sanya_Claus wait, why not? just because the online is bad?

@Radbot42 $24.99 is the price for Shovel Knight.

The most interesting thing about this is seeing how the controls for these games, which previously used the Wii Remote pointer and/or multi-touch, will translate to the Switch.

Also I think I already own all the OSTs but I'm still a sucker for a good soundtrack mode.

@StooBush Which SD Card do you have?

Anyone have an extra 3DS code for Citizens of Earth? I can give you Mighty Switch Force (3DS), Retro City Rampage (3DS), and/or Human Resource Machine (DRM Free/Steam). Let me know ASAP if interested.

(I apologize if this is against the Community Rules; feel free to delete this and redirect me to a more appropriate place to post if applicable. I saw some people giving away codes and figured that this was similar.)

I joined in 2009 shortly after the merger. My life was so much simpler back then

@Stuffgamer1 Doc Louis' Punch-Out!! was the best.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Luigi Maker or bust.

Huh, I wonder what I was supposed to retweet.

@Shambo You just watched clips from a show called Community set to music. It is my favorite show and I maybe kinda chose that video as an example in an attempt to get people to watch it.

@ACK That is a different argument entirely, but I have to say I, myself, could probably benefit by not allowing myself to buy another game until I beat the last one.

@MrWalkieTalkie Yes, because a series of YouTube videos entitled "iPhone Garbage" represents anything near the best iOS has to offer.

@Shambo To embed a YouTube video in a comment, copy the part of its URL after "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=" and paste it inside this: (youtube:), but use brackets instead of parentheses.

For example, (youtube:BP2WjadrWs4) becomes this when you replace () with []:

I'd like to take this opportunity to point out that @aaronsullivan is awesome and we would all do well to listen to him.

@daveh30 We can argue forever if we're sharing anecdotal evidence, but my point is that smartphones and tablets inherently offer more functionality than traditional game devices. If a person (let's not say kid--you're right that they're less likely to own luxury products) only wants to carry around one device, which is Gruber's argument that I tend to agree with, an iPad is more versatile than a 3DS.

I'm fortunate to have both an iPad and a 3DS, and as gaming systems I love them both dearly. However, were I forced to choose between them, I would pick the iPad without a second's hesitation, simply because it does so much more. I agree with Gruber that the majority of today's kids would make the same choice.

It all comes down to, as he said, how many devices people are willing to carry around. Most would rather have a device that plays games and does a billion other things than a device that just plays games really well.

Another option for those who don't want to settle for a glitchy version but lack a Wii/Wii U is Steam. All but one games are currently on there with the last one probably coming eventually.

That said, I'm gonna buy this.

As much I didn't care for the Vita demo, this guy's making it so easy for me to purchase this game that I'm sure I'll wind up getting it eventually.

And as far as I'm concerned, the lack of 3D is a bonus.

"We're sure you've all wondered what Super Mario Bros. 3, one of the best games ever made, would be like on a smartphone. Well, we say wondered it's probably likely if you ever have you've awoken upright with cold sweat streaming from your forehead. Go back to sleep, it's just a nightmare. Or is it?"

This article is dripping with bias. No indication that this was just a suggestion by a random person not associated with Nintendo in the headline; it reads as if this is the only way Super Mario Bros. 3 could work as a free-to-play title.

What do you have against Community, Damo?!

FWIW, it's actually $2 on Steam right now instead of $3 thanks to the summer sale.

Lol, why does everyone think his name is spelled Atlus?

That's too bad. I wish the guys at Two Tribes all the success in the world.

I want this, but I'll wait til I've actually played through Runner2.

This is my favorite Nintendo Life article of the year so far, probably.

Also what's up @OdnetninAges ? Odnetnins FTW!

Fun fact: Alex Neuse, CEO of Gaijin Games, was a tester for this game.

Wrong. Just completely, totally, woefully wrong.

Nice Wreck-It Ralph reference.

To answer the question in the photo caption, I should worry because Rocksteady would be forced to say that even if they didn't believe it.

@NImH I didn't know it was considered a failure to want to play a game on a system other than one made by Nintendo, yet still support its release on a Nintendo platform. Or do you just have an irrational hatred of iOS?

I'll probably stick with the iOS version, but for the eShop's sake I hope it comes there.

I love Nic Cage.

@Swiket @Jukilum ...LEAVE ME ALONE! >:[

That tagline is the name of an episode of Arrested Development.

You guys have the best Miyamoto images.

I loved this game.

"In addition to lamenting that the current pain is preventing him from playing Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance ..."

Sakurai is the best.

@Stratostar You're almost right; it's the second (after Little Inferno). Methinks it'll be the first for players who value entertainment over art, which is perfectly fine. Either way you slice it, these are two of the best games of all time in my humble opinion.

I don't care what they say; I'll always <3 WiiWare.

I've heard many complaints lodged at the new art style, but "generic" is a new one.

Super excited. Hugo is great.

I really appreciate these roundups you do after Nintendo Directs. It's a nice one-stop shop for me and helpful in explaining all of the announcements to others.

He spelled "description" wrong.

I want this game more than is healthy.

Aside from HD graphics, voice acting is probably the best thing they could add to it. Doubt it'll happen, sadly.

Related: Retro Game Challenge 2 is really hard to play if you don't know Japanese. Assuming it's still easier to play for an English-only speaker than Ni No Kuni is. Please validate my decision to import RGC2 over Ni No Kuni for that reason, @Bankai.

@Birdman From the sounds of things, VVVVVV and NightSky are far more rewarding than this.

Online multi? Next Level, I never should have doubted you.

I need a Wii U.

As someone who owned then sold the first Scribblenauts and borrowed but never bought the second, this thing is perfect for me.

Anyone who's bought one of these double packs before know how it works - are they both on the same cart?

Edit: The product description says one cart. Neat!
