I've defended so many of Nintendo's practices to detractors, but this is one that I can't defend any longer. I will say that I still don't think it's too much to ask customers to pay an extra $1.50 to transfer their Wii games to Wii U, but there really is no reason now, nearly two years after the Wii U's release, why…

I've put off buying some games out of fear that this will be announced, thus making my spending money unnecessary.
You act like it's one or the other. Why? I'm excited for new releases too, but in lieu of them, and in between big releases, it's fun to sit back and play some of your favorites for a second or third, or umpteenth, time. I'm as excited for the new Smash Bros. as anyone else, but I'm also very impatiently waiting for…
They especially won't come within half of anything if they don't release it!
I don't like Miyamoto's comment equating 2D Metroid to 2D Mario. They're definitely not the same type of game, and there's definitely A: much more complexity and difference between the two types of Metroids than 2D and 3D, and B: still a helluva market for 2D Metroid. Millions of copies will be sold. And that's just…
God forbid you don't post a stupid comment.
Release them at the same time. Make them relate to each other. Make them both remakes! MAKE THEM BOTH THE SAME GAME, I DON'T CARE JUST GIVE ME MORE METROID!
I don't know where else to ask this, so I'll ask it here: Didn't Nintendo have two smaller demos today? I thought I'd read that they had one at 12pm Pacific (3pm Eastern), then another for 2:40pm Pacific (like five minutes ago). Have those been publicized at all? Obviously the second one's still going on, but was…
Or not jumped it, as it were.
Yeah, I'm not going to be surprised if this ends up being a $20 or $30 eShop title.
Where was this confirmed? Last I saw, they said "We never said that was Link."
Fifth option: LEARN HOW TO FUCKING WRITE FEMALE CHARACTERS. Are we suddenly back in grade school, where you can just declare "I don't know how!" and all is forgiven? No, this is the real world, and not knowing how to do something doesn't get you a free pass at having to do that thing. Rather, it gives you an excuse to…
The trademark they filed was indeed discovered a few weeks ago and reported on, but this is the first we're actually getting as to what it is.
While I do agree with what you say about people not being able to deal with male characters with feminine traits, I think this level of analysis comes from a genuine want for a female Link. At least for me it does. I've been saying for years that we need more diversity. Link's a very interesting character in that…
The Ubisoft thing? Yes. Yes, we are.
Looking at everything Nintendo's announced today, I think all I need to make this a virtually perfect year is a new Metroid, and an announcement of some drastic rethinking of their Virtual Console's release schedule.
I'm pretty sure Reggie plans his day by what responses he can give fans to get them the most flustered. Not saying I don't think it's Metroid, though.
That Yoshi controller is so ugly, and yet I feel so utterly compelled to buy it.
