Nintendo did at even more stuff.

Mario Maker is really shaping up to be a huge event. I'm really looking forward to it. The new Star Fox seems to implement some long lost plans for the cancelled Star Fox 2, as well as implementing far more "all range" sections. I can't wait for that one, though I hope the storyline isn't just another remake of the first one. Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam seems to be condensing the two current Mario RPG series into one, and it also looks good. I mean, what else can I say? Fire Emblem if has been renamed to Fire Emblem Fates. Frankly, I actually prefer the Japanese title for the game. "if" sounds more unique and meaningful than the rather bland "Fates" subtitle. A new Four Swords style Zelda game seems to be coming along, cutting down the playable characters to 3 for... reasons? Along those lines, a new Metroid game is coming out, but it's a relatively minor release, being basically the Metroid answer to Four Swords. Maybe it'll be good? It certainly seems to be taking after Prime instead of Other M, so I think Nintendo got the memo about the latter. Hyrule Warriors is getting a 3DS port. Well, nice I suppose. You can play as Tetra and also the King of Hyrule. Neat, but it's still a port. The ending shot seems to hint that Saria is the next character to be announced. Who's next? Rauru? Mido?
Here's a huge shocker, Nintendo is teaming up with the Skylanders people to make Skylander compatible Amiibos. Wonderful. Actually, it is a pretty big surprise to see those two rivals just combine their two lines of toys into one. What's next? Disney Infinity compatible Amiibo? As if kids don't already confuse Rosalina and Elsa enough. On a related note, when will Skylanders get a Spyro the Dragon toy?

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
