Personally I think the lighting effects here are *much* improved over what the original hardware could do.

Yes, I feel that the elves in the books were quite a bit more *joyful* than they always ended up being portrayed onscreen.

He's barely half a man.

I'd be depressed at the sheer number of ads present in that picture. It's sad; it's like what he's saying isn't even that important to these reporting companies, so long as they get their product placement in the same frame as him.

I couldn't agree more; this would solve the issue very cleanly. This feature would also be *really* awesome for those people tuning in to hear the streamer that wanted to listen to their own music instead of whatever the streamer was providing, as folks tend to have different musical tastes.

The Song of Double Time is automatically obtained when you get the Ocarina back at the end of the first cycle. Zelda teaches you the Song of Time, and you get the variants immediately, regardless of whether you've spoken about them with the Stylin' Scarecrow. In other words, you have to get it to progress the game,…

In the original Majora's Mask, the Song of Double Time let Link shift time forward to either dawn or nightfall. Now the song lets you shift time forward to any hour you'd like. The idea is that this change will make the game better for mobile, on-the-go playthroughs.

This becomes much clearer when Nintendo show off the game's fancy calendar system, which appears to update when Link meets new people.

I think that, at the very least, this thing should be disabled unless you sign in with a second user at some point. Having the user switcher showing is somewhat pointless; maybe it clues people in to user switching?

I always get peeved when an article hides all of its content behind a video watch-wall, for similar reasons. This is especially frustrating when I'm trying to look up information while at work (often *for* work, as I'm in IT) and can't watch it on the machines we have for lack of speakers.

There's a reddit thread up here with timestamps to all the runs; one of these typically shows up every year. This is the easiest way to watch a single run that you might have missed:

As well as the myriad of trophies you could only unlock in Melee if you had the corresponding save file on the same memory card.

I think these art styles are *just* as impressive as some of the realistic stuff. If you can find it on youtube, look at Kirby Epic Yarn in wireframe mode, and see how complex the yarn effect really is; that's got some funky transformation stuff going on to turn the yarn into good-looking polygons to render. Whoever…

My favorite thing with the waggle controls is emulating those games in dolphin, which allows you to map "Shake the wii remote" to a button press. In nearly every game I've ripped from my collection, this is a perfect substitute for motion controls, and requires no further input.

I keep hearing rumors about an updated gamepad design; I hope they offer a version with an improved screen personally. The resolution isn't bad, but the colors look really washed out compared to all the TVs I've used it next to.

While the trailer did not show any relevant Amiibo gameplay, it did end with an image that suggests the game will use the King Dedede, Meta Knight, and Kirby figures in some way:

I only really have two exceptions to this rule.

Maybe they did. I dunno; it's a hairy issue. Given how much attention the level editor is receiving in the press (it seems to be *much* nicer than the Brawl version) I won't be surprised if they patch in some sort of sharing option, at least between friends.

And this, this right here, is probably exactly why Nintendo has no built in way to share custom stages.

A search for Jirachi, for example, presents you with dozens of trainers that have named their creatures things like 'FUCKYOU,' 'ANALSEX,' and other unsavory things that probably shouldn't be in game played by children. These are screenshots I took today—warning, some may contain racial slurs, or gendered slurs.
