If it's a 'world premiere', I would think it's a hitherto completely unrevealed game, so I'm guessing it's the Zelda game that Aonuma likes to chat and drop hints about but which hasn't been shown off yet.

This is NoA we're talking about, I bet it's a trailer for Wii Sports Club Golf or something.

Or the announcement of a Wii U Virtual Console release for a game that's already available on Wii VC

I'd be really happy if it was for Wii Sports Baseball U with added nunchuck support. (or a sequel to Mario Baseball or Strikers.)

If it's a VC announcement I hope it's finally GCN games.

Anyone notice that the browser version of Miiverse will no longer allow you to save images on your computer so you can share or post them on other social media? I've been drawing a lot on Art Academy and tried to share a drawing I was really proud of today, only to find that there is no longer a right-click option for saving or viewing images. Well there goes a huge benefit of Miiverse for me... :argh:

Why the hell did Nintendo do that?

Art Academy has no option to save the image to an SD card? Why?

It does, once you finish a lesson. There's something like an "Export to Photos" option. If you pass on that and quit, you don't get the opportunity to again, which is really dumb.

The VGX's this year seem to be going all in on open world games. Witcher 3, The Division, a lot of people are thinking Fallout 4 is going to be revealed there, so X putting its face out there doesn't sound that unlikely. Then again at this point I'd like Nintendo to give the game a name already.

I would be more than fine with X. It'll more than likely be Xeno-Something. Really flip people out and call it XenoTrigger :smug:

I for one can't wait for the World Premiere of Hogan's Alley 2.

I'd love to see Nintendo release just a slew of games that are common on the third party market (open world, sandbox, FPS, whatever the gently caress you'd call DOTA) but give them old Nintendo franchise licenses.

In regards to Tropical Freeze's potential fourth character: I never thought I'd say that I hoped a character would be like Nabbit from New Super Luigi U, but if Cranky Kong is an invincible assist character / super guide that vocally berates you for asking for his help, I will absolutely love this game to death.

Yeah that would be loving brilliant, like the Super Tanooki Suit in 3D World. I just hope there isn't a penalty for using it like a permanent mark of shame on your save file because that poo poo is really fun to dick around with.

Miiverse is literally the best thing Nintendo ever came up with. Seeing all the stuff a bunch of literal children say about each level in NSLU is pretty hilarious.

Just use a copy of your save file if you just want to dick around with it, that's what I'd do. I actually prefer it when using these kind of semi-cheat items adds some kind of permanent mark to a save file, it gives more of an official status to the achievement of beating the game without it. Or maybe they can enable using it without penalty only after you've already beaten the game, when it doesn't matter anymore.

I don't even know, by the way, is there a penalty for using the white Tanuki Suit in 3D World?

If it's the same as 3D Land, your five stars on the save file menu just won't glitter.

Is that only if you actually use it, or does it happen automatically once the block appears on a level because you've died more than a certain number of times?

I know on LAND if the block even appeared you were screwed, but I don't know about WORLD. I've seen the damned thing a couple of times in the later levels so I hope not.

I still really wish they just put the option to turn off the box. Like I'm not against it being in the game, but give me the option to never have to look at them. They almost actively discourage me from hunting down secrets because i don't want to die to much looking into corners that might have something.

As long as it doesnt "ruin" my save in some way (like making my stars not glitter like those of some scrub who needed the invincible tanuki suit to get through some level :argh:) I dont care if the block appears, because I can just as well just ignore it.

The block appeared for me plenty of times (over 400 deaths, at least 300 claimed by that last level) and I've got four glittering stars.

It's only if you use the suit that you'll get the non-glitter star, but even then, if you use it, then go back and beat the level without it, you'll get your glittering star.

As much as I like seeing new announcements live just to see crowd reactions both on TV and online, I doubt I'll find myself watching VGX for the announcement unless I'm really bored come saturday. That and we don't yet know when the trailer will air. I'm not going to sit and watch bro gaming awards all day long for 3 minutes of Nintendo.

I accidentally bought ALttP for 150 coins not realizing I had bought it awhile back on the VC.
