If there is to be a surprise, it may be Kid Icarus Wii, a game that Nintendo are rumoured to taken control of after Factor 5's demise. I whole heartedly believe the Kid Icarus project exists in some form, whether or not they'll choose to show it is another matter though. I'm also not going to rule out a F Zero for 3DS or Wii - I think the resources needed for both are small.  
 
I'd love to hear about a new DK game. I think I'd be content enough knowing that it's being made.    

Cool, it sounds awesome.  
 
 
 
"It makes the first seem like a demo"  - people are saying the exact same thing about Galaxy 2

" Chibi Robo and Pikmin are the two games I feel have the cutest characters in a Nintendo game for me, by a long shot. "

Nintendo have made a plethora of games which are visually cute over the years. What game, or indeed games do you think rank as some of the cutest,visually?. I'm asking this question on the back of watching Galaxy 2 videos - stylistically, it's incredibly cute, far more so than the original was.

I think it's important we direct criticisms in the right direction in the right manner, a print magazine that writes primarily for kids, as well as adults (-very Nintendo like) doing all that they can to survive in a very harsh climate is not worthy of such  typical official = bias claims from a fellow journalist. Nor does the, well educated writer of the review deserve to have his work rubbished before it's even been read by Jeff. 
 
It's an editors role to make sure issues fly off teh shelves by whatever means, - multiple covers and tired well used slogans like  -"The Only Review Worth Reading!" are age old ways of doing this. 
 
It's a writers role to create solid and fair reviews and pass them onto his editor so that he can perform the spin based on the reviews content. The PR from Future Publishing editor was based on what he read in Chris's review for the game. He would not be hailing the game as Miyamoto's Masterpiece if Chris had given it a review score in the 8's. 
 
Jeff was being a dick. 
 
I personally love print, hell, if there was a magazine that could cater to all my need.s I wouldn't spend half the time I do currently on videogame websites. I adore the print format, I could elaborate in detail exactly why, but I'm hungry now :) 

It is true, though, that Nintendo hasn’t been very proactive in developing such online activities as an MMOG. But when it comes to our endeavours that try to take advantage of internet technology, where we can provide our customers with more fun and entertainment, then I think we can say we have been very, very proactive and well-received. And that attitude won’t be changed at all in the future.

As a closet Otaku I really love this kinda thing, just check out this beautifully crafted Jill Valentine figurine :O  
  
The Jill Valentine figure from Hot Toys is only 1/6 scale and is based off Jill's Resident Evil 5 Alternative/Gold Edition incarnation. It's 28cm tall and includes interchangeable palms and am assortment of weaponry.     
 

 
Four years ago, on this very day, my beloved Coco passed away :(  
 
The image below was taken a week after Chanel died, through natural causes the vet told me, although I still think rat poison played a role. Chanel was an all white Peruvian goddess, she was a cutie also - very virginal looking. Anyway, my little Coco was left heartbroken at the lost of his love, as the image below clearly shows. He went off his food and followed her into the afterlife soon after... 
 
I miss how he used to nibble my pencils in my studio while I worked :(

" @oldschool:  Why is he in a glass house, as his site is not licensed and afaik has no allegiance to any gaming company as opposed to OHM? It would be a fairer criticism if he was still at Gamespot, but he's not. I think if more people were called out like this they might be shamed into putting out better journalism. Articles like these need to become more widespread not less, so at least criticism could be mounted without endless petty snark and ad hominem attacks. Unfortunately, it's the emotional fragility of fans and sensitivity to any perceived criticism that leads to virtually no criticism and a persistently low standard. I can see where you're coming from though, as they tend to ignore the marketing excesses of for ex. Halo, with its incredibly overblown legendary collector's packs, etc., which is unfair. They could be more damning of the HD consoles and their failings. "
