Ultra. Ultra 3DS. Get that U naming convention going. And then bring Super Mario 64 to it with C-stick camera controls for Ultra Super Mario 64 3DS. ...

I've been thinking on which model I want to pick up when it comes out in Europe, and I'm really feeling it towards the n3DS over the n3DSXL. The face plates and the Super Famicom/PAL SNES coloured buttons are two big ticks in its favour

I'm going with "Bayonetta sweet-talked the Master Sword into letting her borrow it."

They rescued Tomonobu Itagaki/Valhalla Studio's Devil's Third from the crumbling remains of THQ, and rumour has it there are other titles they've taken under their wing.

It's the little things, like the Samus Aran costume having the morph ball mode, or the treasure jingle when opening treasure chests as Link!Bayonetta. Or Bowser's arms and feet coming through to attack when playing as Peach!Bayonetta.

Nintendo funded the game. Without Nintendo, it wouldn't exist. Chance of timed-exclusive? Incredibly low.

For clarity, at E3 2014 they announced Nintendo Costumes for Bayonetta when announcing the game would be coming to the Wii U as well. In today's Direct they announced that the costumes would also be available in Bayonetta 2, along with the Fox McCloud 'Star Mercenary' costume.

It's true, they won't.

Trust in your instincts. They may steer you wrong once in a while but better to be overly cautious now than blithely disregard the gut feeling and getting into a sticky situation later.

You are right! After all:

I lost a few pounds during my playthough of Skyward Sword. I plan on giving that another playthrough at some point, I really enjoyed it from start to finish.

Beans is one of the weirder things I've unlocked, where you have to tip the gamepad back and forth to move beans around in a box to provide the backing SFX for a manga-style cutscene.

Currently Xenoblade Chronicles and unlocking things in Game & Wario. Towards the end of the month it's Hyrule Warriors and Fantasy Life time.

Heheh, I was just thinking that. Time to break out AEnema to listen to.

Given that Minecraft hasn't appeared on any Nintendo consoles, the inclusion of Steve as indie character DLC for Smash is unlikely.

Nice. My Wii was one of the late family edition ones with no GC ports, so I'm rocking the ol' purple Gamecube again. DS and Wii games on the 3DS and Wii U are one of the things that made them attractive purchases for me, as the DS had a fantastic library and the Wii has some real gems in the back catalogue. I've got…

Can't forget years of infighting between SEGA of Japan and SEGA of America, SEGA of Europe blowing their marketing budget on sponsoring four top league European football clubs, the cost of Shenmue's production versus how it sold, the EA on Dreamcast kerfuffle, third parties annoyed with SEGA during the Saturn era,…

I never retire consoles that I can't access the library for on newer systems. That's why I've got my 360, Dreamcast, Gamecube, Wii U and Saturn hooked up to my TV. Considering building an extension for housing my original Xbox, and a conservatory to house the Duke controller. Xbox games on 360 are something I have no…

I did eight years of City of Heroes. No regrets, best damn MMO I've ever played. Made lots of great friends too.

106 hours in Xenoblade Chronicles so far. Not long till the end now I think, and I've loved every step of it. Not sure if I want it to end.
