Unless you could take it apart and rearrange the buttons, of course.
What do the colors matter? If you're looking at the buttons while you're playing, you're doing it wrong.

It matters if you play games like You Don't Know Jack or Scene It. People that are unfamiliar with the controls look for the color, not the button letter.

My first reaction is why in the world would there be a hidden game announcement in MiiVerse... cooler head thinks this is Nintendo seeing if MiiVerse can spark a viral sensation for an announcement.

There is a good size update up now. It isn't the TVii update (the 10th for that supposedly), but instead it is to help some of the glitches and freezing issues and that sort of thing.

@RichIGN: Latest http://Nintendo.com update lists Version 2.1.0 U as improving stability and minor interface adjustments.

Is there no way to play the SNES / NES / etc games downloaded in the original aspect ration?

If you're talking about virtual console games, not at the moment.

Pikmin 3 Pushed To Q2 2013

Pikmin 3 was scheduled to ship this coming spring, but now Nintendo says it won't arrive until Q2 2013. Back when the game was announced, Pikmin 3 was originally a "launch window" game, meaning it would arrive no later than March 2013.

The new Q2 2013 release window means it now comes between April and June.

Wasn't Pikmin scheduled for the Wii in 2011? What the hell is going on?

It'd be funnier if it weren't such a common trend these days.

The Xbox 360 is still the only console with a speedy update process, how the hell did they get it so right and Sony/Nintendo get it so wrong

Microsoft charges for its online services giving them some budget for better infrastructure. Sony and Nintendo do not. You get what you pay for.

Unrelated, but that video reminded me of this one. The pay-off is in the third ad.

That, and well, MS is built on an OS company unlike the other two.

Great video, but wth kind of a father calls his son "sweetie". I heard that and then the next kid was a boy Love how the daughter gets the MyPad 6 and you hear KILLSTREAK.

re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
I'm still up in the air on this one. I know I'll own one eventually, but I think the only thing I'll end up playing right now is the new Mario Bros. game, that is until Zelda comes out...whenever the f that will be. Are there any major worthwhile releases slated for the next year at all?
