I'm dying for a new Metroid too, but I'll take quality over quantity. We could have the other end of the spectrum: an annual franchise. METROID III: MODERN SPACEWAR II nothx

Honestly, I see where you're coming from, but I disagree. Silhouette is an important factor in character design, and those big honking ball shoulders give Samus one of the most distinctive. If you blacked out all detail from major characters, leaving only the silhouette outline, so many of them would be…

That's a smiling alien!

It wasn't ahead of its time and neither was the Game gear. Both were products of the tech they had AT THE TIME. Which is why neither had staying power. Nintendo actually had a colored prototype to compete with the gamegear, but they shelved it because of batteries and the screens were too expensive to not be like the…

Been looking for a reason to post this interesting video:

I don't know what people have against Gifs.

It's and easy and fast way to give a small "sneak peak" about what you are talking about in the article. It's not intended to be a ultra HD, uncompressed showing of how good a game looks.

For example this article... if I'm just browsing through Kotaku and I see that title with…

Why is it everyone is so dumb when it comes to understanding nintendo..

There's some discussion on this event from before it on the last Address the Sess.

Do you know when the fiscal year ends?

I'm glad Nintendo is still mostly family friendly. I've seen countless comments complaining that Zelda and Metroid aren't mature enough. Nintendo doesn't owe you anything just because you grew up, their games should be able to be enjoyed by adults and kids alike just like when we were growing up.

This is called Mario Kart 8, so I'm guessing (including the original) 7. Also considering the fact the 3DS-version is called Mario Kart 7...

The power of Mario Kart is the huge selection of awesomely designed tracks. If they add a track editor, they will never get the same quality as the ones in the game. You will get some high-quality courses, definitely, but not as perfectly fine-tuned as the ones in the game.
