Very interesting article. I never gave achievements that much thought.
I agree with the part where, let's say you do something cool in a game, like jump off a platform while an enemy jumps off another platform and you successfully get a headshot. You automatically feel good because you did something unique and awesome, but then the achievement pops up. So I guess it wasn't unique, and actually it looks like I was supposed to do that. I guess thousands of other people ...
From the article about Wii U Party: "Previously unannounced, it might fill a hole in an empty July. Oh who are we kidding, no one is excited for it." lol
I don't know if it was on purpose but it seems like all the big Nintendo first party releases will launch around when we expect the next PlayStation and Xbox.
I love Level 5. I can't wait to give Ni No Kuni a shot.
I agree. We need to at least wait until X is released, and probably a couple more games after that.
What is this empathy you humans speak of?

That Master Quest preorder bonus was sweet. It's cool when Nintendo gives you something that they could have easily charged for.
From the article: "One of these possibilities is the Skyward Sword route: Orchestrate the more bombastic songs, while using digital audio tools to recreate the rest of Wind Waker’s music with the impression of an orchestra while avoiding spending so much time and money on the real deal."
I'm fine with that. I realize having an orchestra record every song would be very expensive and honestly wouldn't lead to any more sales. I could see them doing a couple son...
Are you rating articles or counting? I think I saw you write 7 on a none too positive Zelda article.
Welcome back Mika!

"new Zelda HD details why I'm not excited..." lol. Thanks for pointing that out. That made me laugh.
Every Zelda has been one of the best games I've ever played. I don't mind them taking their time.
They already tried dark with Twilight Princess. I've seen some people on n4g say it was their favorite Zelda art style. I would suggest those people go back and play it. It is brown. Brown and boring. It's the only Zelda art style that doesn't hold up to the tests of time. I doubt Nintendo will make that mistake again.
I do think Zelda could have some darker elements. The redeads in Ocarina of Time for example freaked me out as a kid. I still don't like them t...
I don't care that there's no voice acting. If they add it, I hope it's for everyone but Link.
I can't wait to bomb some dodongos!
The franchise mode starts with go-karts? I didn't know that. I'm not big into racing simulators but this seems cool.

I agree. I love co-op games. If a game comes out with good co-op I'll buy it. I don't think Zelda needs to be like that though.
I doubt Nintendo will mess up the Zelda franchise by needless adding things. There hasn't been a bad Zelda yet so I'm not worried. Maybe the co-op could be simple like the Tingle Tuner or the 2 player mode in Super Mario Galaxy. I doubt this will turn into Army of Two.
I'm glad he bought it and opened it and now will play it. I wouldn't have done that, but I can't say I'm not a little jealous :)
I was commenting on another article about how terrible on disc DLC is, specifically referring to this game. Now that I read this article, I think I misunderstood the way their on disc DLC works, IF this article is accurate. According to the article the on disc DLC everyone's complaining about is unlocked by buying the physical character figurines and plugging them in to your console. I knew that already, but I thought the on disc DLC people were talking about was different. I was imaginin...
What's your point? Even if it sells more it doesn't win?
I don't buy into consoles winning and losing anyway. The Wii sold the most but did it get the most good games? It certainly didn't get the multiplats. Having good games seems a better gauge of winning, and I would have to give that one to the PS3 (same with PS2 and PS1 winning their respective gens). Still, English uses words and those words have meanings. The Wii U is next gen because it just is; so don...
Yup, they'll make the 360 version and port the game to every other system, next gen and current.
