I'm still super excited for 200 CC, but after remembering that the GC Yoshi course exists, now I'm also a little scared.

Well now.
Slight update, Stealth Inc. 2 has been removed from the Recommended Exclusives because it's no longer exclusive. You should still absolutely pick it up, regardless. I may start looking into putting up some recommendations for games that are multiplatform, especially since Scram Kitty will soon be falling off the list for the same reason. The thing that stopped me last time was that such a list felt pointless and way too broad.

No. Nintendo doesn't really do commercial OST releases very often, just limited-edition promo items or whatever. There's some Pokemon OSTs on iTunes but Pokemon Company does what it wants.

Nintendo DEFINITELY uses the banner from their nintendo.com sites on websites that are registered outside of their domain. There aren't any first Party Nintendo games that have a website outside of the nintendo.com domain.

Also, Winter 2015 is over.

Yeah, you're right. But whenever I see a company refer to the end of the year it's "Holiday 2015" and when they use "Winter" they mean Jan-March.

Edit: Also, that's far from the biggest red flag on that site.

That's not what I mean. The typeface is different and the font is noticeably smaller.

So the people who make the Shantae video games (Wayforward) are hoping Shantae gets voted in the Smash Bros Fighter Ballot. It's not that crazy; her first game was on the Gameboy Advance. Also, I really think she'd at least have a unique fighting style (hair attacks and genie powers).



I guess what I'm saying is we should vote for Shantae. Also, play "Shantae and the Pirate's Curse" if you haven't; great game! Plus, a possible Shantae Amiibo would rule.

I don't know how many characters Nintendo are going to accept, let alone if they'll do third party stuff, but if actual game developers themselves are saying "Yeah Nintendo use our character!" and enough fans want it, then it is win-win for everyone.

Nintendo has a good marketing tool ahead of them. They have already demonstrated that they aren't afraid to turn "Mario Kart" into "Nintendo Kart" by adding Link and Animal Crossing. I am fine with them doing this. If the Animal Crossing Mario Kart DLC sells well I could see them doing another round of some sort in the future. REAL BATTLE MODE PLEASE!!

They could continue to release content for Smash Bros almost indefinitely. Costumes are cheap. People who already bought the game will throw more money at it for more characters. Maybe someday we'll even be able to buy stages or something!

I think Nintendo's long time plan is to DLC the crap out of Smash Bros and I am okay with that. Plus, the creator of Smash Bros said this is probably the last Smash Bros game he'll ever work on. So, why not just make this the end all Smash game? Team Fortress II is nearly 10 years old and that game still gets new awesome content.

I was being sarcastic, and not talking about your post specifically. Every first party game I can find has a nintendo.com or zelda.com domain name. Majora's mask 3D isn't majoras-mask-3d.com, it's zelda.com/majoras-mask/

Tropical freeze is donkeykong.nintendo.com/tropical-freeze/. Nintendo has no history of making stand alone domain names for games.

Tropical Freeze really does have an incredible soundtrack. Finally made it to 3-1 today, now I see what all the hype was about. What a great level.

The bosses can gently caress right off though, gently caress you owl guy with three loving stages in your battle and having to start over from the beginning when I die.
