I'm gonna say. We are really enjoying having a Nintendo in the house again after sending the Wii off to my sister last year. We're playing through Super Mario 3D together and having a blast.

Some of those damn stars are hard to find/get.

I like when you get the ability to switch anytime into the wolf in Twilight Princess.

Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes just dropped to $19.99 on Amazon.

 

[Centurion]

Great price.
I picked up LEGO Marvel Super Heroes for that same price on Black Friday.

 

[Darth Waller]

Dang! I'd love to find that one for that price.

Wii U Premium priced at £179 at Argos and Amazon. I'm quite tempted at that price if I'm honest

Nintendo also announced they will also be expanding their character licenses:

What does this mean?

More Nintendo collectibles! Which in my opinion, they never really had "enough" out there anyways. We FINALLY just now have gotten collector-level articulated figures of Link, Samus and Mario upcoming. There are also rumors that Nintendo may also start allowing more third-party developers to do Nintendo characters games. Legend of Zelda RPG by Bethesda? Mario Adventure game by Naughty Dog? Hmmm....

I respect Nintendo's "candor" and "respect to their characters", but sometimes in America it IS about getting characters out in the market to get your name out there. Nintendo can't do it on their system alone like they've been able to in the past, and as gamers grow older and move to mature games, Mario, Zelda, Metroid and all the classics won't be as important to the new generations as Halo, Call of Duty, and GTA. Nintendo is a LEGACY and they should show it off more and they can be careful and strategic about it as well.

This is also a response to their poor earnings and the disappointment of the Wii U but I feel this is something Nintendo should have had rolling long ago. Better late than never!

Little Mac is in smash bros.

Little Mac is in smash bros.

Awesome. I've never played any smash bros. game, but I think I'm going to get this one. I love that the Wii fit dude is in it, too.

The only issue I see with more licensing for merch is a potential saturation of the market. One of the things that makes collecting video game merch is that it's so darned hard to come by. I'm all for more figures, t-shirts, etc. but I do worry it'll take away from the mystique a litle.

I had $30 in Best Buy certificates, so I ordered Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze. IGN gave it a 9 out of 10 rating.
