I feel you
I sold my Wii U 3 months ago and I don't regret it one bit. I loved me Wii U alot but the lack of games for me is a giant letdown I bought the Xbone because of the exclusives and the thirdparty games will keep me occupied until they arrive. I have to say that I have changed in the past 3 years. I rather play the more story driven games, and sadly the Wii U is not the best console for that at all. I look forward to the NX though... But I loooooove good news about Nintendo.
I'll believe it when and if it happens..
I could see a smartdevice version ogf puzzle and dragons super mario edition happen. I sold my wii u 3 months ago and bought the Xbox one. I have to say that i have had more singleplayer fun with the xbox thirdparty games in 1 month than I had with the wii U the 2 years i owned one. Except of course from Hyrule Warriors.
This topic is being blown out of proportion, into something very nasty. Generalisations, accusations and comments created by one thing: Despite. Some of these comments makes me think that the console industry and it's fans has become the new racist battle, and Nintendofans are the new minorities Everyeone:! Seriously! I know this is the Internet, but behind every comment there is a real person so keep a friendlier tone... It might be contagious.....
I want developer support and a long lifespan from the nx..
@ericwithcheese2 If it even is a home console. We don't know anything about this system yet... Nice conclusion though, based on nothing. Btw. Nintendo's biggest home console hit was the Wii and that console was waaaaay underpowered in comparison. If Nintendo made a powerhouse, it would not sell more consoles because the hardcore market is already playing either of the competitors consoles. Nintendo needs to stand out in some way to attract new players and yes, as borring as it sounds they need to reach out to the casual market. N64 was more powerful than the PS1, gamecube more powerful than the ps2, but the PS still outsold both Nintendo systems. Also if nintendo suddenly started focusing on power their consoles would cost accordingly, and the Hardcore market still sees Nintendo as a kid-friendly console and wouldn't buy it either way. Let's face it, Nintendo isn't cool anymore and they are not trying to be because they would get even more steamrolled by the competition if they did. Softcore market apeal and core franchises for the fanbase, and they better make something that catches on like the Wii, or I too won't see a future for Nintendos homeconsoles.
@Quorthon The only source we have to conclude from is the gaming news we get from the internet. That is what your comments are based on. News/information, not facts. You put pieces the puzzle together from what you read, AND THAT makes your statement simple and arrogant. I'm not saying that I know what Nintendo needs to do to grasp former succes. All I am saying is that it would be humanly impossible for you to know everything about the matter (the big picture). btw I understood your point in the first post so you didn't need to describe it again. I respect your view but am mearly pointing out that your conclusion, as wonderfully simple as it is, might really really not be the smartest solution in this case. Deny it again and I would still disagree. Good day sir.
@Quorthon A valid point in theory, but whether or not this would be a lucrative business idea? I don't think anyone in the forum has any clue whatsoever about what would be a smart move on the consolemarket. We have ideas sure, and your idea doesn't sound dumb in theory, but to put your answer in such a simple format "All they need to do is...." is not just arrogant, it's unrelieable; because you and none of us sees the big picture.
I really don't think that valve would clash with nintendo so steam could run on a console, seeing as valve is trying the console market itself. AND, I don't think that nintendo would want to pay valve the huge amount of money it would take to make this possible. As I have said before, I think the NX will be nintendo's next handheld as the 3DS is the oldest of the to. But, if you think about. Nintendo actually merged it's business alongside the QoL reveal so that the homeconsole and the handheld development teams function as one. If anything this could be a sign that the NX really is a hybrid console. I dunno, but I'm excited.
Nintendo will try to make a new wii succes, and the key to that is making something casual that everyone enjoys. Something new and gamechanging. Something simple and easy to use. I think the wii u is great because it can apeal to both hardcore and casual gamers. I think the failure about this console is lack of awareness. Yes nintendo would do ALOT better with more 3rd party support, but making a powerhouse won't nessacerely get them that if big N can't ship consoles. The NX is a new handheld imo with a different controlesceam than the 3ds, or maybe a streaming box with a controller you won't hold but ware.
Super Sonic Warriors 2 was awesome, so I'll be buying this game for sure...
This song is just so incredibly funny...
I like the overworld in papermario way more than the Mario & Luigi one. I will settle for this game eventhough my hearth was set on a fullblooded papermarvouless -
I love Nintendo, but I don't like what they showed from this game so far, besides the ability to switch between ground and air combat. Never liked starfox in the first place, maybe that's why...
@RatKing64 I would bet money on a NN3DS only game right here.. I don't think the old model can handle it. Might be wrong though...
Online multi-player for both versions + cross platform online multi-player... I will be happy
So in reality, Link only posses as a hero but he's actually just a commen thief. I like this perspective. The video made me laugh
I can never bash pots in LoZ anymore without feeling like a thuuuuG!
The new dimension just adds to the experience.
Thanks for the video!
This doesn't affect me. Too bad for those nintendopeople who did want this...
I See why Nintendo left out voice chat sure. I have played a fair share of regular battles the last week and I often caught myself angered UP! and ready to scream at some of the giant n00bish players just going for kills rather than turf. That's just me: "I WAN'T TO WIN!!!"
So yeah I see why it's a good move to keep voicechat out......... OF REGULAR BATTLES! But why oh! why in g**s name didn't nintendo implement voice chat in the new upcoming mode, when you play with friends only.
This has my attention...
Very handy with a usb-HD right now... Looking forward to this game..!!!
This reminds me of mid-90ies 3D platforming actually. It seems very well made...... I LIKE!
No voicechat in a game like this IS NOT! a smart idea and the reason why is just plain stupid. Why not leave it to the players themselves to manage this unmotivated language?.... But for someone to completely abandon the game because of if is equally dumb... Oh well, I am excited for the game....
@TerrapinJess Shin M IV is awesome. You should get it if u like this kind of rpg.
I completed the first one on DS and loved it. I might wait until 2016 with this because of Xenoblade 3D, Majora's mask and multiple wii u titles atm. maybe sooner, time will tell.
wow wow wow. Pokémon is NOT a drug? Why in ***s name am I addicted then...
I played 2on2 with a friend online. I was Falcon for quick damage and he was jiggleapuffpuff For insta knockout. It worked quite well because the opponents focus was primarly on me. More time for jiggleitallthewaypuffpuff to rest those thugs!!! they ended up sleeping...... with the fishes.
I never played this game. I own a N3DSXL. I like RPGs. I have the time. I want to play this game. My couch is comfy. I am done with my exams. I think the game looks awesome. Pokémon is not fun atm. Mario games COMPLETED. Apartment cleaned. Dog has been walked. I can't look myself in the mirror. I can't travel because I only have 35 pounds. The outside is cold as ****. Who AM I. Quack quack. My parents and the entire gaming community looks at me like a fool for not having played this yet. Yeah okay. I'm going to buy this game and play it.
@DarkKirby The 3DS is a dedicated games system, NOT a phone, so it's a weird argument to use in this case.... I don't understand the negativity against this New 3DS release because the system is the biggest re-design of a handheld console in gaming history spec, gimmick and control-wise. If you don't see a reason to buy it then don't, no reason to complaint about it.... Oh, and your statement about Nintendo making a lot of money on this release...... DUH! Of course they make money of the system, way else release it...
I like Nintendo for it's creativity and for the fact that it's products are NOT as the competition. If Nintendo made a console that's exactly like the competition It would fail just as much Saleswise as the wii u is doing atm. If nint is making VR why keep it a secret? Everyone else is doing it so I don't think nintendo has any reason not to talk openly about VR. Maybe Nintendo is keeping this close to their chests because they don't know how this console is going to turn out yet or it might be because they have an excellent idea that they wouldn't want sony microsoft or anyone else to get inspiration from just yet.
I am totally and utterly excited about this NX platform. Go Ninty GO!
What defines an "open-world" experience? I would say A link between worlds is open world. Some might disagree...
I miss Captain N!
Nintendo as a business needs to search for potential cash-streams and f2p and microT seems to be gold. I downloaded this game and I think it's funny. Just get a spine and don't spent money on it if you don't want to. From an artistic viewpoint I can see some concerns, but from a business standpoint this is most definitely an area Nintendo needs to explore.
I have one and feel sorry for those who don't. And FYI. This is the biggest improvement ever seen in a revision of a Nintendo portable system EVER.
Why not re-release this game on 3ds with colors?
My new 3ds xl majora edition arrives on friday- I am HYPED!!!
This video made my day. Now i actually want this game... I got CHIIIIILLS!!!!
This is excellent!
I would like to see a one screen handheld device with touch, much like the vita. The 3D effect could be spared IMO. It all comes down to the games for me really..
This game is, for me, the best Zelda game in the series... But in terms of "the most important Zelda game"!!! That has to be ocarina of time But what the H**L guys. All Zelda games or pretty much AMAZING!
Hmm I Need EU code... NooO!
is it EU or US?
Will someone please send me a code, I really want to try it out? email@example.com

The National Park Service has announced that Fort Scott National Historic Site is now included in the National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom because it significantly contributes to the understanding of the Underground Railroad in American history and meets the requirements for inclusion as a site.
The National Park Service has announced that Fort Scott National Historic Site is now included in the National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom because it significantly contributes to the understanding of the Underground Railroad in American history and meets the requirements for inclusion as a site.
The Underground Railroad refers to the effort of enslaved African Americans to gain their freedom by escaping bondage. Wherever slavery existed in the United States, there were efforts to escape. Slave holders called them runaways, and existing laws declared such people as fugitives, though today they are more accurately called freedom seekers.
Most freedom seekers began their journeys unaided and many completed their self-emancipation without assistance. However, there was an increasingly active effort by those opposed to slavery to aid escape, particularly after the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 became law. The Underground Railroad then became deliberate and organized, despite the illegality of such actions.
With little regard for personal safety, people of all races, classes and genders participated in this widespread form of civil disobedience as they helped seekers find freedom. Free African American communities in the United States became destinations, as did foreign countries that had previously abolished slavery.
Because of its secrecy and temporary nature, the many people and places associated with the Underground Railroad are difficult to properly document.
The town of Fort Scott, established in 1855 by auction of the former U.S. Army garrison, became a center of "Bleeding Kansas" intrigue as abolitionists, free staters and pro-slavers fought to determine the political, social and economic destiny of Kansas Territory.
Fort Scott National Historic Site maintains the former frontier fort and interprets its history from 1842 to 1873.
During the Civil War, many freedom seekers sought the protection and liberty provided by the United States Army. Fort Scott was one such safe haven. As the main citadel protecting Kansas' southern flank from invasion, the militarized town served as a major Union Army supply depot, general hospital and recruitment and training center.
From Fort Scott, soldiers pressed the offensive into the neighboring Trans-Mississippi. Wagons returned with the sick and wounded as well as with refugees and freedom seekers hoping to find sanctuary. Although life at Fort Scott proved difficult for lack of basic necessities, thousands displaced by war found the town to be a critical, if temporary, respite along their journey to freedom.
Many able bodied free and formerly enslaved African American men were recruited at Fort Scott to form elements of the First and Second Kansas Colored Volunteer Infantry regiments. These soldiers acquitted themselves well in the face of the enemy, with the First Kansas Colored Volunteer Infantry being the first African American unit to serve in combat, in October, 1862, at Island Mound, near Butler, Mo. The First and Second Kansas Colored Volunteer Infantries were federalized and reorganized as the 79th and 83rd United States Colored Troops, respectively.
Page 2 of 2 - At least one formerly enslaved African American woman served as a nurse at the U.S. Army General Hospital at Fort Scott, and later received a U.S. government pension for her Civil War service.
On the eve of the Emancipation Proclamation taking effect, on Jan. 1, 1863, William Matthews, an African American businessman, conductor on the Underground Railroad and military recruiting officer from Leavenworth, participated in celebratory festivities at Fort Scott. Besides helping organize earlier African American units, in 1864 Matthews recruited many men at Fort Scott for the First Regiment, Kansas Colored State Militia. Matthews was one of approximately 125 known African American commissioned military officers to serve in the Union Army during the Civil War.
In 1865 the Freedmen's Bureau established a school for African Americans just north of the current historic site grounds. Fort Scott's first public school for African Americans opened in 1872 in the former post hospital, now the Fort Scott National Historic Site visitor center. That school's most famous student was the formerly enslaved George Washington Carver, who became a noted scientist, botanist, inventor and humanitarian.
Those associated with the Fort Scott National Historic Site take great pride in being a National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom certified site, and honor the heroic sacrifices of freedom seekers and those who assisted them.
Fort Scott National Historic Site is a unit of the National Park Service.

If there's ONE thing this team needs right now, it's swaggerificness. Good teams think that they're good and other teams fear them because of that.
fair point that
If there's ONE thing this team needs right now, it's swaggerificness. Good teams think that they're good and other teams fear them because of that.
I really doubt a freshman has "taken control of the team".
Taking control of the team might be a bit much, but it might be a sign that he is confident in his abilities. If he is willing to direct the offense rather that poop his pants (like we saw last year), it will show a level of leadership that our offense needs badly. When a team isn't confident in its QB, it folds under pressure.
at this point, he's not really a freshman in the traditional sense. idk that he's "taken control of the team" but i know he's well past where people thought he'd be. people believe in him at the very least
Good to hear.
I just hope that the offense can help support the defense that I think we may be lacking this year. I think its going to be a couple of years before the defense under Robinson starts to show a hint of what he did at Texas a few years ago. You gotta have faith in the Forcier!!!
The problem with the defense is the lack of depth. I think the first teamers will be pretty good. However, any one of them goes down, and now you've got an inexperienced guy with less talent. The drop off from first to second is too big right now. I still think this defense can be good, but they'll need some breaks, and not the physical, bone type.
don't signify to me that Forcier is "too cocky" or being presumptive, they tell me something we could all see last year: there was no functional leader (at least on the offensive side of the ball). This is not to shit on anyone from '08, really. It's simply to say that, from all reliable accounts, we were struggling for some center-of-gravity throughout the entire season. The staff was allegedly far more irritable last year than they are this year, the quarterback position was a place of tension (to put it mildly), and there was the general stress of suffering through the worst season in our program's history. In other words-- everyone was new, and we lacked the unique leadership personality that could (maaaybe, quite possibly) guide us through a rough first year. We were vacant in that spot, and Tate looks good by comparison.
Again, no criticism from this poster: changing coaches is a chaotic and disrupting activity, and I think RR and the group have handled it relatively well. But I WILL say that someone as charismatic and centrally-minded as Tate Forcier, someone who welcomes the leadership role, will be doubly prominent in contrast to the disarray that will be remembered as the 2008 Wolverines.
Of course, I have my homer-isms as much as the next man. I fall asleep most nights with visions of truly deceptive zone-reads and accurately-thrown bubble passes in my head, but that's probably because I also fall asleep most nights drunk on boxes of rose wine.
After just watching the Michigan vs Purdue game from last year on BTN, I feel even better than I did about the future of RichRod's offense. The offense was able to put up tons of points, including 28 in the first half, with Threet. Granted they did catch some breaks like the roughing the passer and pass interference on their last scoring drive, but still. Threet played semi-decently in the game, and the offense flourished. However, a lot of his throws could have been improved, and even more points could have been put on the board. If the offense was able to put up more than 40 points with a quarterback that fit the offense as well as golf fits Charles Barkley, imagine how dominant it could be when the qb fits the system. I am excited for the future.
freshman or not i hope this guy can step in and lead our team to some sick victories. i really hope we beat that OSU team cause im tired of hearing it from my co-workers that OSU is so much better.

Off The Press — My autumn bucket list is already filled to the brim
September 22, 2015
Wow, that was quick. The summer is over and the first day of autumn was officially Wednesday, Sept. 23.
Looking back, for whatever reason, I got so little done this sunny season, especially when it comes to attending Issaquah events. I didn't make it to a single Tuesday night Concert on the Green. My wife usually succeeds in dragging me to the Farmers Market at least one Saturday a year. Didn't happen this time. So I'll blame her for that one.

March 3, 2015
Between its Golden Globe-winning turn on the silver screen and its 13-year run on Broadway, the story of "Beauty and the Beast" is familiar to audiences around the world.
That's the challenge for the Issaquah High School performing arts department when it brings the musical version of "Beauty and the Beast" to the stage five times in four days this week.
Swingin' in Vienna moves to new venue, date
January 15, 2013
In 1998, the Evergreen Philharmonic Orchestra created a renaissance in dancing that crossed generational divides with its surprisingly popular Swingin' in Vienna.
The semiformal affair, featuring ballroom and swing dancing, returns next month for its 15th year to new digs and a new night.
Longtime orchestra Director Doug Longman said it was a natural transition to move the popular event.

Four Scouts earn Eagle rank
Four Boy Scouts from Issaquah Troop 609 — Eric Hall, Zach Hall, Ben Fairhart and Jacob Tierney — earned the rank of Eagle Scout, Scouting's highest honor, at a court of honor ceremony June 4 at St. Andrews Lutheran Church, Bellevue.
Eric Hall planned and led for his Eagle Scout Project a volunteer effort to build the initial 150 feet of new trail in Squak Valley Park. Eric is an accomplished musician in the Issaquah High School wind ensemble, jazz band and Village Theatre Summerstock pit orchestra. Eric also plays football for the IHS football team and is a member of the National Honor Society.
Zach Hall planned and coordinated Scout and neighborhood volunteers to replace 30 yards of sand at South Cove Beach, repair signage and clean up landscaping. Zach is a proficient musician in the IHS wind ensemble, jazz band, Evergreen Philharmonic Orchestra and the Village Theatre Summerstock pit orchestra. He is a member of the National Honor Society, Key Club and Japanese Club.
Ben Fairhart's Eagle project involved the restoration of 150 feet of trail in Squak Valley Park. Outside of Scouting, Ben enjoys playing bass guitar with his band, The Greasy Spoon. Together they have performed in Issaquah, Snoqualmie, Buckley and most recently at El Corazon, in Seattle. He has also been active in service projects and mission trips through his church.
For his Eagle Scout project, Jacob "Jake" Tierney planned and organized the construction and ultimate emplacement of five wood duck nesting boxes along the shores of Lake Tradition. During this project, Jake also coordinated and supervised the relocation of wooden benches to a more useful location adjacent to Lake Tradition. Jake graduated with honors from Liberty High School on June 11. He will study engineering at Santa Clara University, in California in September. Jacob is also the proud recipient of a U.S. Air Force ROTC scholarship.

Evergreen Philharmonic Orchestra presents mix of concert, caroling
December 13, 2011
"It's kind of a whole new format," said Doug Longman, director of the Issaquah School District's Evergreen Philharmonic Orchestra.
For the first Christmas concert ever put on by the districtwide orchestra, Longman wanted to do something involving the whole audience. While the idea apparently has been in the back of his mind for at least a few years, he said he overheard someone reminiscing about singing Christmas carols as a youngster, regretting that people don't seem to do to much caroling any more.
In the end, Longman was inspired to come up with a Christmas concert that will invite audience members to sing carols accompanied by Evergreen.
"Home for the Holidays" is set for 7 p.m. Dec. 19 at the Issaquah High School Performing Arts Center.
"We just thought, what would be better than caroling with a live orchestra?" Longman said.
Creating a holiday event and a local tradition are tandem goals of the performance, according to Pete Peterson, an avid Evergreen supporter.
Issaquah High School Performing Arts Center debuts with 'Fiddler on the Roof'
November 29, 2011
In this case, being first has presented some challenges along with what were described as tremendous opportunities.
While an orchestra concert was officially the premier public event in the still very new Issaquah High School Performing Arts Center, the first full-scale dramatic production will be a staging of the classic musical "Fiddler on the Roof," set for six performances the first two weekends in December.
"The place is just brimming with potential," theater manager Marty Kelly- Petersen said recently in describing the new theater equipped with what can only be described as state-of-the-art lighting, sound and stage equipment.
Drama teacher Holly Whiting is the director for "Fiddler on the Roof." She said it was decidedly fun to have all that new paraphernalia at her disposal. But both students and staff had to figure out how to use all those nice, new amenities.
"The learning curve was vertical," Whiting added.
Whiting is especially impressed by a couple of aspects of the new theater and first pointed to the large orchestra pit. For the first time, she said, an Issaquah High School production will be able to make what she feels is appropriate use of a full orchestra. Whiting said the "cafetorium" theater used in the past allowed a full orchestra only if the musicians sat onstage. Otherwise, there was room for only a limited number of players.
Liberty High School schedule should be used districtwide
November 8, 2011
For the past few weeks the Issaquah School District Schedule Committee, made up of teachers, administrators and students, has been reviewing choices for a consistent, districtwide schedule.
The change would allow all three high schools in the district to be on the same schedule. The schedule they choose could greatly affect general education in all of the schools, so the decision they are making is a highly controversial one.
Being from Liberty High School, I have a bias toward the eight-period block schedule (a schedule with two class days with four different classes each day). The opportunities provided by an eight-class schedule greatly exceed those of a six-period schedule due to the added class slots generally used for electives, such as business and marketing (DECA), band and journalism. These classes also benefit from the longer periods of the block schedule. Having a class that lasts an hour and a half allows more work to be done in one session, especially in lab-based science classes.
Other schedules, such as a hybrid-block schedule (involving a combination of daily classes and the block schedule) or a seven-period day, which involves all seven classes daily, are both viable options; however, they have the potential to have a heavy financial toll.

Advanced glycation end products accelerate rat vascular calcification through RAGE/oxidative stress

Arterial media calcification (AMC) is highly prevalent and is a major cause of morbidity, mortality, stroke and amputation in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). Previous research suggests that advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are responsible for vascular calcification in diabetic patients. The potential link between oxidative stress and AGEs-induced vascular calcification, however, has not been examined.
Male Wistar rats received a high fat diet for 8 weeks followed by a single dose of streptozotocin to induce DM (DM). Calcification was induced with Vitamin D3 and nicotine (VDN). We started VDN treatment at 1 week after the initial streptozotocin injection (DM+VDN). Age-matched rats were used as controls (CON). Metabolic parameters, aortic calcium content, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) protein, malondialdehyde (MDA) content, Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, aorta receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) and aorta AGEs levels were measured. In vitro, vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) were cultured with AGEs in DMEM containing 10 mmol·L-1 ß -glycerophosphate (ß-GP). Calcium content and ALP activity were used to identify osteoblastic differentiation and mineralization. Western blots were used to examine protein expression of Cu/Zn SOD, NADPH oxidase Nox1 and RAGE. In addition, the intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation was evaluated using fluorescent techniques with dihydroethidine (DHE) method.
The DM+VDN group showed a significant increase in aortic calcium content, levels of aorta AGEs, MDA content, ALP protein levels and RAGE expression, although Cu/Zn SOD activity decreased significantly. In vitro, enhanced Nox1, RAGE expression as well as the production of intracellular superoxide anions, and reduced expression of Cu/Zn SOD induced by AGEs were attenuated by the anti-RAGE antibody or a ROS inhibitor. Furthermore, the AGEs-stimulated ROS increase was also significantly inhibited by a SOD mimetic. Increased ALP activity and calcium deposition were also inhibited markedly by the ROS inhibitor and the anti-RAGE antibody.
These results suggest that AGEs enhance vascular calcification partly through a RAGE/oxidative stress pathway.
