Nintendo showed the best games for me at E3, lot's of variety and quality. I can't wait for Smash Bros, W101, X, Bayonetta 2 and I know Super Mario 3D World, Mario Kart 8 and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze will be great for the Wii U's sales.
I wonder if there's any unannounced games left for Nintendo at this E3, DK was the only one we didn't already know about so maybe they are holding something back. There are still some "TBA" and "Nintendo Game" on IGN's schedule, I forget how E3 goes after the big press events... will there still be anything on stage or is it just show floor stuff?
I actually think that using another DK game is pretty bad idea since Nintendo is effectively appealing to the same bracket twice with two fairly mild platformers; unleashing a Metroid game instead would have been more advisable since then they'd have more variety - sadly, having two of your big guns as platformers doesn't really work, hence why Super Mario Galaxy 2 didn't hit home as hard as the original, what with NSMB: Wii around at the same time.
Metroid games simply don't sell as well as Donkey Kong. For example, Donkey Kong Country Returns (Wii) sold roughly 5 million copies, whereas Metroid Prime 3 sold only 1.3 million. Besides, Retro wanted to do Donkey Kong. A game built with love is going to turn out much better than a game made by a developer who is just going through the motions.

Let's also talk about the "Bros"... you know those human form fist bumps? they actually get together a lot of the time to play these games together for a full night of gaming,  maybe even a weekend. These dudes are getting shafted as well lol.
How? Do bros not have internet connections?
You can only play your games on a friends console for one hour.
Why not just bring the console over, then?

(Image removed from quote.)
The PSX failed because 1) It was expensive 2) A less expensive PS2 was already available. I'd say the PSX is more comparable to the Panasonic Q, the DVD-playing GameCube. It was expensive, and a cheaper version came out first.

I've been a part of the Robot Arena community for over ten years, apparently.

There is no set criteria for Veteran or Advanced User.
I'm certainly not aware of any criteria and I'm one of the few people capable of setting titles. ACAMS may have had some criteria but I'm not sure what they were.
Right now, here is how I look at it:
- Advanced User - someone who has been here for awhile and has contributed heavily in some area.
- Tech Advisor - someone who has been here for awhile and has contributed heavily in terms of technical advice to other members.
- Veteran - someone who could have been considered for one of the previously mentioned titles but isn't necessarily as active as they were before.
The amounts of time that it takes to get any one title is determined on a case-by-case basis. However, I'll admit that all three of these groups need to be updated. I just haven't gotten around to it yet.
If you feel that you deserve one of these titles, I would prefer that you didn't send me a PM asking about it. However, if you feel that someone else deserves one of these titles, feel free to PM your request. Please don't send PMs to other members asking for them to PM me. I'll take a look at all the active members when I have time to ensure that nobody got missed.
Edit: Just to clarify things, the hierarchical order for the three groups is as follows: Advanced User < Veteran < Tech Advisor
In the old days, Veteran status was something that was sort of earned without any specific criteria. Basically, if the other veterans accepted the person as one of their own, then they could call themselves a veteran (without being flamed). If memory serves right, I gained my status through working on the Bots4Battle site and by chumming with the right people.

and Nintendo now has the details on Flipnote Studio 3D. http://flipnotestudio.nintendo.com/3d/It looks like the global sharing system is going to cost money, though the software apparently supports exporting your creations as .GIF or .AVI.

If you want to develop phone apps, learning C++ would be a good idea.

Well I always considered Mario etc. as franchises and stuff like Mario Kart, Mario Bros. and 3D mario as series. This list to put it simply is a "you can't play this franchise anywhere else" list.
I would consider Mario to be more of an IP, but I guess that's just semantics. My point about exclusivity is that while you may have been able to play, say, Halo: CE and Halo 2 on PC and Mac, all subsequent Halo games have been exclusively on Xbox systems. Any list that doesn't consider Mario to be a Nintendo exclusive and Halo to be an Xbox exclusive is ridiculous.

So we're using the Wikipedia definition? I disagree with it, but I can accept it.
Why are we using "exclusive" to mean "has never had any games on any other platform ever"? I submit that a better definition is "currently only offered on one company's platform(s)". This would make the list far more relevant and would allow for people to contribute to the list without having to worry about some esoteric offshoot or port.

Wait, why doesn't Pokemon count?
Because there have been a couple of Pokemon games on PC (both of them trading card games, one of which was released for Windows 95, the other is from Thyrus' post on the first page).
there`s a pkmn raiding card game for pc
Link? is it official?
http://www.pokemontcg.com/
it looks like it is.
Just like Legend of Zelda doesn't count because of the CDi versions
You kids don't know what you're talking about. Spin-offs are separate franchises than the main series. The Pokemon offerings on PC were spinoffs and non-game software. Pokemon:TCG is an entirely different series with an entirely different set of rules, types, items, etc. So while one could argue that Pokemon: TCG isn't a Nintendo exclusive, Pokemon (Red, Green, Blue, Gold, Silver, Crystal, etc.) is. Pokemon Stadium, Pokemon Rumble, and Pokemon Ranger are also exclusive franchises. Mario Bros. (offered on the Atari and such) is an entirely different game (yes, there was only one made) than, say, Mario Party or Super Mario Bros. The CD-i Zelda games are non-canon and weren't even made by Nintendo. Just because a character (or characters) from a game appear in some form on another system, that doesn't negate any other games they appear in.
