I'd definitely get a Rosalina one.  Not so much for the character, but I love the color blue, and I don't really like the solid color ones.

That doesn't necessarily mean they won't leave it out. I believe it was Mr. Iwata (might have been Miyamoto, can't remember now) who talked in a recent interview about being dedicated to preserving the tradition of playing together in person, and hinted that they were reluctant to take away...

Anyone know if they've officially announced online multiplayer matchmaking for Mario Kart?  I know they did for Smash in the latest direct, but I'm not sure if they touched on this for MK somewhere and I just missed it.  Seems like they would announce that first since it comes out next month.

Online multiplayer.  Finally, Nintendo.

All I want to know is if it will have a usable online matchmaking/play with friends system.  Given their silence on the issue so far (and their confessed feelings about online multiplayer), I'm assuming it doesn't until they clearly say otherwise.  Which is a shame, because I probably won't buy...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Halo-Cryptum-Greg-Bear-First-Edition-Signed-Author-/121304099407?pt=US_Fiction_Books&hash=item1c3e49aa4f Full details are on the listing, but highlights include: First edition, like new condition, signed by author.  Not sure how much my word counts for anything in...

Thanks, but that's really not at all what I was getting at or something that would benefit my overall condition. Doing some forearm curls doesn't particularly help with core muscles, especially with muscles that are weakened or atrophied. For reference, I am not currently physically capable of...

Would you guys say Wii Fit U has some decent activities for strength building, rather than weight loss/calorie burning?  And I don't mean making huge muscles, but just getting some basic exercise?  I have a medical condition that causes pain, fatigue, etc and (along with other life...

Then some people took it way too seriously.... And Peach has been kidnapped how many dozens of times? Pretty sure she was always an idiot. I didn't like Sunshine as much as 64 either, but at least it tried to do something different and it was the go-to Mario game for the Gamecube. Aside from...

Since when is plot relevant in a Mario game? Good point by SaraAB about being able to get the full breadth of experience on 3DS for Pokemon now though. I never really thought about that before, but I guess this is the first time where their consoles have to compete with their own handhelds...

Zelda Wii U.  Seriously, Nintendo.  Don't make us wait the console's entire lifespan like you did with Skyward Sword.  (Not that I would have wanted them to rush it, and in retrospect that honestly might have better served as a launch title for the Wii U.)   I also agree with the Pokemon thing...

You poor soul. The conventions are great. I went the year the first new movie came out and ended up with a movie poster signed by Zachary Quinto (nice guy).

I like for my fork to poke things and for my spoon to scoop things.  As long as they each perform those tasks adequately, I don't really care how they compare to each other.  Even in the odd case where I have food that can be consumed with either utensil.  Hardware specs don't matter as long as...

Agreed. I'm not a big fan of the XL's at all personally, but I think the ALBW edition would have looked better if it was gold on black the way mine is. I also think it's kind of silly that the designs on the face now are all inverted so that they appear right side up with the system open. How...

Stickin with a classic. I wasn't actually planning to get a 3DS, at least not for a looong time after they came out, but when I saw this beauty I just had to have it. (Sorry for the kinda warped image; it's a reflection of the beams on my basement ceiling)
