Everyone knows Nintendo puts out fun well made games and their reputation as a developer for kids is well deserved. What is wrong with making games for kids, same as Pixar makes films for kids? I don't see how these awards will change people's minds. Yes, Nintendo does have more mature titles, but it is known for it's games that appeal to general audiences and kids. I guess what I was trying to say is that I think its unfair that some people discredit Nintendo as a developer because of the perception that it is a developer for kids. Personally, I think Nintendo's games are wrongly labeled as kids' games because of their appearance, the way they are marketed, and the lighthearted nature of games like Super Mario Bros. or Kirby; however, if perple who perceived Nintendo games this way really delved into games like Metriod or Zelda, they would find that many Nintendo games have a level of depth and an exploration of more serious themes that would never be found in the average kid's game. Well then your opinion is invalid. Not trying to be mean, but it is just unfair to pick a winner with such biases and lack of experience with both products. I love the GTA 5 remaster, but I can't say it deserves to win over Pokemon since I haven't played the Pokemon remasters. Much like I can't pick a Game of the Year since I've played none of the titles on that list. My personal Game of the Year is Alien: Isolation, but that doesn't mean much since I've only played 3 or 4 games this year. No, you're right. I would be a bad judge because I have never played many of these games. I have, however, played ΩR/αS, and besides the fact that I enjoy playing it, I think it was more deserving of a win than GTA because I consider it more of a remaster than GTA V is. As I understand it, GTA V is just another title in a series - not a remake of a previous game - while Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire were new versions of the original Ruby and Sapphire on the GBA I loved the Adr1ft trailer, that game looks pretty amazing. That Untitled game by Hazelight also looks pretty darn cool. I'm interested in No Man's Sky but I keep wondering what you really do in that game. It seems you just go from planet to planet going: "oooh, ahhh, so pretty". The Zelda reveal looked pretty cool too, but I'm not going to get a WiiU just to play that game. One thing they didn't show in the Zelda trailer that I'm really interested in is the towns. I want to see what they've improved about cities and towns. In previous Zelda titles they felt quite empty and lifeless. I hope they've added a lot more NPCs and side-quests you can get from them. I agree. The graphics of Adr1ft are incredible - probably too incredible for my laptop, unfortunately. As for the Zelda reveal, I'm also interested in seeing the towns they have planned. With the huge world open to explore, I hope they include a lot more places to go and more NPCs to interact with, as well as more quests to complete.

To be honest, I wouldn't mind if they added more characters from other series, like maybe Zelda or Captain Falcon. I'm not saying turn Mario Kart into Super Smash Bros., but I think Nintendo Kart (or something along those lines) could be a nice change. I'd rather have Zelda than Pink Gold Peach. As for the DLC, I wish they would've added Bowser Jr. and Funky Kong/Diddy Kong instead of Cat Peach and Tanooki Mario. I mean really, how many Mario/Peach clones do we need in one game? I do really like the courses, though - especially Dragon Driftway and Mute City.

I'm considering it, but for $13 each, I don't think the functionality they provide is worth the money. The extra fighter in SSB is kind of cool, but I don't think I would use it that much. The costumes in MK8 are neat, but certainly not worth $13. It would probably just end up as a figurine on my shelf.

Just picked it up today after school, but I haven't had the chance to play yet. Hopefully my best friend can come over tomorrow so we can try out multiplayer.

It's official! In a trailer released today, Nintendo announced Majora's Mask 3D, a remake of the original Nintendo 64 game made for the 3DS. Fans of the Zelda series have awaited a remake and many have speculated that one has been in the works from hints made by Nintendo. The game is set for release in Spring of 2015. Here's the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hj6cXziHpjQ&feature=youtube_gdata I for one am really excited for this game. As a person who has just recently delved into the amazing universe of The Legend of Zelda, I didn't think I would ever get a chance to play this title, which is considered by many fans to be one of the best due to its darker story line. Seriously, I nearly wet myself when I saw this - plus all the Mario Kart 8 DLC goodness in my YouTube subscriptions.

I just saw "Interstellar" yesterday, and it is now one of my favorites. The story, the visuals, the soundtrack - everything about the movie was riveting. It kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. This is definitely one of the most imaginative and engaging films I have seen.

My family (for the most part, anyway). Are you forced to interact with someone who really irks you?

Good health for myself and my family, financial security, and world peace. Do you have a dream?

I don't know, and I wouldn't want to get in the middle of it if there was. What is the deal with all the unnecessary, pointless labeling of days, such as "throwback Thursday," that's popular now?

I'm curious - is it as fun as previous Civ installments? If I enjoyed Civ V am I likely to enjoy Civ BE?

I don't dress up anymore, and I haven't for years, but I do like to walk around outside just to see the kids having fun and the decorations people put up. Plus, there's this guy in a neighborhood near mine that puts on a pretty cool tesla coil music performance. He has a robotic arm that gives people candy, too. I find it pretty silly that there are still teenagers my age (16) who go trick-or-treating. They're just candy-moochers. I don't think its fair to the young kids who really get into the whole thing.

You didn't ask a question. ;_; What do you think of all this Ebola business?
