  1. That’s because nintendrones are stuck in the past. All the wiiu has is stupid arcade games, and 20 year old snes games.

      1. Nintendo Commander I knew this news will make you happy. Since you and I know that xbox is the bane of gaming. Sony is just a bratty cousin to Nintendo. Sony and Nintendo remaining in the industry would be the best scenario ever.

          1. It will. Its gaining steam (get it?) and rallying its force for gaming market invasion once Xbox is out of the picture forever.

              1. Also I happen to own a WiiU but after upgrading to a new gaming pc, I hooked up the old one to the tv and now I’m enjoying a lot Big Picture mode. It feels good like the WiiU, even browserwise. Gotta love the flower writing with the controller…

      2. Right. Where’s the Live Arcade games? Oh that’s right. Microsoft pulled a dick move by not migrating game purchases from 360 to One but rather migrate pointless achievements (360 game achievements but no 360 compatibility so how does that make any sense) so its got none.

        What is this dumbass Nostalgia (retarded opposite choice of name) whinning about again?

          1. Right and Sony isn’t losing money or Bill Gates having himself making a comeback to clean up Microsoft’s BS mess because the whole company can’t get its shit together plus many more studios are closing and losing financials like Capcom or EA killing every studio and franchise its selfish hands touches thus being the most hated gaming company in history.

            Yeah. Nintendo is SO screwed and not everybody else who’s being laid off right before your dirt filled eyes.

            Quit being a retard. Its not working.

      1. actually the only reason it is selling more then on the xbox is because 3ds has less games and gamers are buying it for the lack of games, and xbox players are now buying xbox one or ps4 and have a billion big AAA 3rd party games to choose from on 360, so comparing it to a succsesful system is retarded

        1. Is it retarded? It’s not a AAA, and doesn’t have the price tag of a AAA game. Furthermore, it’s been on available for xbox for a year, before the release of the one. Your logic stinks

          1. In europe Xbox 360 version had 15€ price tag which is pretty much same as price of games like Saints Row 3, GTA IV, Crackdown 2, Godfather 2, Sleeping Dogs etc.

            It’s good handheld game but it wasn’t surprise that it didn’t sell as well for 360 when there was so much more other “prettier” games from same genre.

        2. Are you dumb? “because 3ds has less games”

          Yeah 3DS TOTALLY has no games #retard

          1. He’s a troll, I already replied to his dumb comment. Btw fire emblem.. Best game off that list. In fact, best game I’ve played in maybe 3 years

    1. Well this is not Nintendo to be one point…to the other point, you shouldn’t point out everything that is on Nintendo “20 of the past”. Not everyone is like you. Be grateful that you got a system you like thanks to them.

    2. It takes a special kind of idiot to constantly post on a website dedicated to something they hate. You sir, are an extraordinary specimen.

    3. Mad because 360 and One still gets bested by Nintendo? Xbox will always be the 3rd rate 3rd place console it always is. Don’t be hatin. :3

        1. The new Microsoft CEO is planning to kick Xbox’s ass out into the curb so let’s start counting down to the end of gaming’s greatest poison since Atari’s console spam run. Like Zune, Xbox One will meet its similar fate soon.

      1. actully the xbox 360 and ps vita and xbox one are killing the 3ds and wiiu. nintendo sucks and doomed.

        1. How the living fuck is 3DS, currently the highest/fastest selling console of this generation, losing to the likes of Vita when it only sold 7 million in 3 FUCKING YEARS and 3DS sold more than 40 in 2 years and Wii U sold 6 in just 365 fucking days?

          And why bring 360 in the picture? Its a last gen console that no one but retards like you waste time caring about which it lost to PS3 and Wii and Xbox One still can’t beat Wii U currently and lets not forget the thing I mentioned about Ouya beating Xbox One too.

          In your fucking dreams that Nintendo is going down which is a 1,000,000,000 to 1 chance.

    4. And what does Xbox One have? DRM and an overrated COD clone called Titanfall which will be on 360 and PC/Steam anyway so its not a big exclsuive hit.

      PS4? Well nothing original yet beside Infamous Second Son. As for Wii U, shit tons of great Indies, Virtual Console games and lets not forget it always has Mario 3D World, Donkey Kong, Pikmin, Sonic, Zelda, and soon will have Bayonetta 2, X, Mario Kart 8, Smash Bros. 4.

      Your move sore asshat. :3

      1. titanfall and cod are no clones.xbox one has way better games than the wiiu. lol mario,zelda,pikmin,donkey kong. those games are on wii already. sonic lw is trash. boya 2 and x are coming 2015.

        1. Titanfall is definitely not a cod copy…but so far its the only good thing on Xbox One. And with SLI support and 4 K textures, its better on PC.

          1. The animations. Its too familiar plus being Xbox One’s best game when its only multiplayer (also overpriced), published by infamous EA and also coming to PC shortly after so its better to just for PC version or even 360 since Xboz One can’t run 1080p right plus..DRM. Nuff said.

        2. Motherfucker, look at the animation and research who designed it. Its the same game from the same people who founded IW and created COD. its no different and nothing original. “Oh it has mechs and its so badass and new” my ass. Mechs has been in so many sci-fi adaptions that its pathetic of people and idiots like you to think Titanfall is the first to bring mechs. Battlefield 2142 did it. Hell even the NOVA series on iPhone did it years before.

          Xbox One has better games? Like what? DRM? Kinect; that forced POS gimmick that nobody wants and failed last gen? Deadrising 3 which is a another familiar Zombie game like the other dozens I’ve seen and played already? Forza 5? Same shit as 4. Face it, One ain’t got shit besides Halo 5 which your poor dumbass has to wait but can’t afford an overpriced console that still fails to run games at 1080p.

          Yeah. Xbox One ain’t got SHIT.

  2. Sweet! I would love to see more support for Nintendo systems from Brian Provinciano in the future. Retro City Rampage is an absolute blast. I have it on WiiWare but I might just have to get a 3DS version too.

  3. but this is impossibru!

    i thought it’s well established that nintendo customers don’t buy third party and no third party developer could ever earn real cash on a nintendo platform :O

    my world is falling to pieces

        1. Nintendo Commander Quadraxis

          Indies I call Tribes…

          I don’t really count them as “Third Party”…

          More like Local Reinforcements…

          1. third party is third party

            there’s nothing that says third parties have to be financed by a big publisher to be considerer third party

            technically CD projekt RED is an indie developer…

  4. i thought it’s well established that nintendo customers don’t buy third party and no third party developer could ever earn real cash on a nintendo platform :O

      1. Nintendo is my Blood

        Saint’s Row= glitchy as fuck
        L.A Noire= old game and a cheap GTA ripoff
        GTA V=overated as hell

        1. typical nintenbronies bashing third party games. call of duty mw3 is way better than metorid and star fox.

            1. “Forgot to take his retard pill” In a sense, you make it sound like a term of endearment.

              You mean to say he forgot to take his “retardation suppressants”

          1. Moron..MW3 is, according to everyone including fans with a brain, THE FUCKING WORST COD GAME TO DATE NEXT TO GHOSTS.

            In fact, both all of Metroid (even the POS Other M) and Star Fox are both rated higher than MW3 in any platform. So there you go. Go nuts and praise more POS software that’s never in the same caliber as Metroid, Bioshock or even Halo.

            1. halo is even way better than metoird in every way. story,graphics,presentation,voice acting,music and adventure.

              1. Graphics yes (as fat as the fps games go), story is 50/50. No question that halo has better voice action. (dialog could go either way)
                but story is equally as good, music in metroid isent epic like halo. But its just as memorable and just as emotional. The adventure not so sure.

                how ever a new metroid is most definitely in development (though nothing has bin announced) and while we do know about a new halo, we don’t know any thing solid about it, that said halo5 well be epic simply because its on such good hardware. BUT metroid well be need to step up to the same level as the new Zelda, so it well have to be pretty epic, and if smash brothers or Mario kart are any sign of things to come (bayaneta and X) then metroid could be just as good as halo (personally I love equally)

              2. Who the fuck said Halo is whack compare to Metroid?

                Both are different games. But I bet you’re so retarded to say that Metroid Prime is a Halo ripoff because its FPS and suppose to be a platformer.

                So..fucking..what. Halo is great in its own way and Metroid is great in its own way. Learn how to stop fucking bashing things you never tried before asswipe. You are a loser like Xbox since it started and ended in 3rd place everytime.

          2. What do bronies have to do with nintendo, I’m almost positive you took something, especially if you’re comparing COD to metroid or star fox

        1. chedder jack cheese

          La noire is retarded… I couldnt even begin to Stomach the cheesy dialog and boring cinematics.

          1. Its done that way for a reason, you have no idea how violent LA was in that time period…and the cheesy dialogues, yeah believe or not, look at three stooges, that tells you a lot of how they used to talk. So that’s right on spot.

            https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMqoJG6GDdw

            I really can’t say more about it. So to me, the game is art but its an average like all the rest. Not even titanfall comes close to good cinematics like those. Still, its the only good game I see for xbox. Well until street fighter comes back but even that will be redone.

            1. seriously? you’re using three stooges as an example for *actual* society?

              entertainment television/cinema has *never* been an accurate depiction of contemporary society.. that is true today and was true back then

      2. That Hollywood movies already came up with decades ago.

        Shit, Sony’s games like Ratchet & Clank are sorta more creative than Xbots.

    1. Mad because your 3DS version of the Xbox 366 retor hit Rampage is doing best somewhere else? If that weren’t the case, you’ll be gloating around like a dumbass..oh wait. You already do that regardless so cut the “Xbox is best” retard charade.

    2. Xbots are really lame, the PS4 is dismantling your xboneless and you dare attack Nintendo, the 3DS is dismantling all and turning them to scrap lol.

    3. and 3D Mario and smash and mario kart and zelda wii u and bayonetta 2 and X and pikmin 3 and 3 sonic games etc

        1. Let me phrase it differently, the wii u is failing, pretty badly and without the 3DS they would be doing alot worse

          1. & Sony & MS’s gaming sectors likely wouldn’t even exist w/ out their other business sectors. Certainly they wouldn’t sell their gaming hardware @ a loss w/ out some sorta safety net. There’s also Vita sales to consider, too. But even if a product sells well, that doesn’t always equate to healthy finances (case in point, the original Xbox, which was 2nd in sales of the 6th gen, lost MS money the entire gen. Wasn’t ’til the 360 [& a few yrs. after its launch @ that) when MS started generating a profit from their gaming hardware [not counting PCs]). Even w/ the successes of the PS4 & X1, I’m unsure if they can help their respective companies. They’re still selling their hardware @ a loss, but now their other sectors aren’t doing as well as before. Just saying.

            Anyway, all 3 (Ninty, Sony, & MS) lose money in one area & try to recoup that loss in another. It’s like 3rd parties who rely on great selling sequels to help fund other ventures, or @ least they used to. Now they must rely on certain sequels just keep afloat. Kinda like the Movie & TV industries nowadays, taking less & less risks, & relying more on flash & familiarity. Even music has seen many artists become independant, do partly to technological advances, but also because record labels can’t afford to support bands who only make “small” profits. Blah-blah-blah…

          2. Compare to Sony losing money from PS3 and everything else? I say Nintendo is in far better shape than Sony ATM.

            Besides, all Wii U need is more games and it’ll be fine. It probably won’t beat PS4 in the end but definitely will beat XBetamax DOne and its BS DRM schemes.

  5. Goes to show that when you give us a good game, us Nintendo fanboys DO support 3rd parties – Nintendo is the best home for Indie Devs, we will look after you and we don’t mind paying a bit more…Well in principle anyway!

  6. Indie devs have heavily neglected the 3DS. Time and time again this is shown to be an insane position – 3DS is the natural home for indie games in my opinion. Get them over there.

    1. Nintendo is being recognized as the best platform for Indies since its growingly known that it sells adequately there.
