Isn't Donkey Kong already on the 3DS's VC?

Super Mario RPG is my favorite game of all time, but this doesn't really surprise or disappoint me. I feel like the Mario & Luigi games are the spiritual successors to SMRPG, and I feel like they're satisfying in that regard. Plus, I doubt any new installment that they'd make could possibly provide as much enjoyment

July 11-22 is eleven days by my counting...

Can someone clarify: is region-locking something that Nintendo could fix via a patch for existing consoles, or is this something that would theoretically only affect new ones?

Look up some articles from last year, before they changed her appearance a bit — she looked A LOT more like Ellen Page before.

I think she meant "actually acting in" as opposed to "just having my likeness ripped off." Like, the character in Last of Us looks like her, but she's ACTUALLY acting in Beyond Two Souls.

Again I ask, just as I did six years ago: Is Geno, from Super Mario RPG, considered third-party?

Man, it's a shame that they don't have, like, a handheld system with a Virtual Console on it...

The eight-year-old in me that spent every day at Toys R Us in 1996 playing Super Mario 64 is extremely excited about this.

This precisely. It's just as much, I think, about letting Wii U owners play the upcoming games as it is about getting word out to people who still don't know about/haven't played the Wii U. Maybe they'll also offer some downloadable demos, but I agree that one doesn't really preclude, or indeed in any way affect, the

No, but Dr. Shrunk certainly can. I'll bet there's something to this.

Looks like the lovechild of a Yoshi and a Smurf. And that is one terrifying mental picture.

As an owner of both Wii U and 3DS, I honestly can't say which one I'm more excited for the future of. On 3DS, we've got Animal Crossing (finally!) right around the corner, followed closely by a new Mario & Luigi, Pokemon, and (I can't believe I'm typing this in real life!) a NEW LINK TO THE PAST. On the Wii U,

Hate to break it to you, but a game like Earthbound, in its original incarnation, is worth more than $100. If you don't have a system to play it on, that's another $40 or $50 on top. That's a lot of money to pay to play a single game, especially one in a cartridge with a battery that probably won't last too much

Because the Wii U has no Virtual Console yet, only the small handful of games that they've released for $.30 for the last few months. Now they'll release games en masse, but they'll also let you transfer your old Wii VC games over for a nominal fee.

I think it's been all-but confirmed by the next issue of CoroCoro that it is in fact a new form. We still don't know what he's called, though.
As for the transformation, I think it's the only possible way they could make Pokemon evolution better than the current "Digivolution" method they have in Gen V, and I'll be mad

This... doesn't look like it would've been great. Like, it looks like it would have made for an interesting game, but it's nothing like Megaman at all. If the choice is between this being what Megaman has amounted to, then I'm kind of glad it got cancelled.

Is nobody going to bring up the Virtual Boy? Even if we don't include the Color TV Game consoles, the Virtual Boy was released between the SNES and the N64, thus making it Nintendo's third home console. If there's one system that should be able to stand as the perfect example of this "third console curse," it's

Regardless of what anyone has to say about the Wii U's processing power, it is part of the next console generation. It succeeded the Wii as a console, and that alone makes it part of the next generation; hardware power is not and has never been part of that equation.

Your "note" at the bottom of this article makes it sound as if you know nothing about Pokemon. Blastoise is not a form of Squirtle. Pokemon like Shaymin or Deoxys have different forms that aren't included as separate Pokemon; that's what people are referring to when they say this might be a new form of Mewtwo.
