I'll be in class but maybe I can check here on my laptop while my professor attempts to give a coherent lecture.

I NEED this game.

Someone sounds bitter.

well that was a waste of my time.

Dang right off the bat my stream is acting up.

I don't think it's fair to fault the 3DS for lack of an account system when realistically that's something that should've been around on the Wii long time ago.

The trailer clearly says "game footage not final" yet people still groan and complain about the graphics, despite this trailer being a lot sharper and more crisp than the first one.

@Jukilum Say that to a child who lives in a household where his parents detest each other.

Also most health professionals and psychiatrist with any real credibility have already come out saying there is no difference.

If you are going to make the point that it's a children's game and children shouldn't have to deal with that then don't have the option of this kind of relationship in the first place even for opposite sex people. Children don't have to worry about marriage in any form if it's just about playing the game.

I'm not surprised it's being "fixed". Like I said I obviously can't base my opinion on games solely on these things because I'd have nothing to play. I love Fire Emblem: Awakening and I would've loved if the pairings could've been same-sex but the lack of it didn't stop me from putting over 100 hours into it.

Gogoat is a must because I want to ride it D:

I generally don't play with 3D on or the wireless turned on, so that helps with the battery life. I also play it in power saver mode with brightness at 3 which is generally a perfect brightness for me in a lot of areas. I don't see the battery life as a problem unless you have all this stuff turned up and are playing for 3+ hours.

As a gay man I'd love for this to come stateside and for the patch to be inclusive of women-women relationships and not take out the man-man ones. However I don't base my games off just that because then I'd have pretty much nothing to play. I don't know much about the game but if it's something I'd be into I'll buy it regardless.

Oh CNN...just....no.

DP sucked because Dawn is a horrible girl companion. I miss May.

The game is rated T, I don't really see the problem with the original pictures for the intended demographic. It's weird they allowed the picture with Cordelia considering it's far more suggestive to me than Tharja's but even so the game is rated T. There is nothing here you don't see at the beach or the city pool.

I haven't seen any ads for the Wii U where I live so not sure if anyone even knows there is a new console out for Nintendo.

I'm using the 4GB one that came with my Pikachu 3DS XL. I don't download anything since I'd rather have the physical copy. That was before I got into the Monster Hunter series though. I think in the future I will download that just because I know I'm going to spend a lot of time playing it. Closing in on 200 hours atm O_O

Are games based on popular movies ever good? I wouldn't know I've never bought one, not even harry potter.

Pokemon is going to overshadow this for at least the first month.

Not sure if i should get this or not even though I'm loving me some MH3U. Already over 100 hours clocked in.

Great news now bring over Fantasy Life

Definitely not a fan of the top down view and the more I watch the gameplay trailer, the less interested I am in it. I don't know if I'll be picking this up yet.

A SEQUEL TO A LINK TO THE PAST?!! YES!

While I never had the chance to play MM on the gamecube, I'd much rather have a 3DS original Zelda title.

I'm with those who think the real Wii U announcements will be made at E3 considering how Wii U centric their 2012 E3 presentation was. I also doubt what this NIntendo Direct will give us will be anything really major since all the big titles are already known about. If anything, maybe a Miiverse mention but I think since this is just NA and EU, that's not likely. I'm pretty sure they'd give JP that info first if not at the same time as NA and EU.

I don't understand what everyone is overreacting for! It's a new form so that means if you really dislike it JUST DON'T CHANGE Mewtwo's form! Seriously if it was up to some of you we'd still be using the same sprites from the original red and blue. Genwunners are the worst part of the Pokemon fandom.

I'd definitely pick it up, I love these type of games.

I'm thinking of getting this for my Pikachu 3DS XL. The reason being, while I do manage fine playing MH3U on my 3DS without one, underwater battles are quite a pain. I feel like the battle with the Lagiacrus and Ludroth took entirely too long underwater simply because turning around in the water is a huge pain.

Also I don't see why anyone expected the XL to have a second circle pad when the original didn't. There were already 10 million 3DS units sold when the XL came around, adding on a new circle pad would've alienated early adopters and confuse developers. There aren't enough games that need a second circle pad to even justify adding one anyway.

Multi-delete is great and fast too. Love the update.

OMG YES THANK YOU! Multi-delete of notes was needed ages ago. When I was clearing out my notes on my old ambassador 3DS to sell it on ebay, I had to delete 299 notes one-by-one. Literally took half an hour because I had to confirm each delete and then the little wait in between deleting.

Hoping this comes to NA!

I've been playing Pokemon since I was 9 and I'm 23 now. I'm in it for the long haul obviously so of course I'm excited for X and Y. The 3DS offers so many possibilities for the franchise, I'm especially interested to know how they'll utilize the streetpass and spotpass features.

@nastobi123 If I'm not mistaken, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow: Mirror of Fate is 2.5D if that helps.

I'm thinking this isn't a Mewtwo form and is actually a brand new Pokemon with some kind of link to Mewtwo. The way the Pokemon.com site and facebook page keeps alluding to the fact that it looks like Mewtwo but calling it a new Pokemon, makes me think it's not a new form. I'm going to say possibly a Mewtwo clone. Yes a clone of a clone lol

The demo definitely doesn't give a very good impression of the overall game. Although as someone whose completely new to the franchise, the demo held enough interest for me to actually buy a copy and I don't regret it at all. It's pretty much all I've been doing for my spring break.

It never has bothered me. I've been more preoccupied with MH3U though so I haven't had it in my face much lol

ohey a thing.

I'd love the yellow one for my Pikachu 3DS XL. They really need to release more accessories for the XL :l

I got a launch day 3DS. I paid about $200 after I traded in my old lite. At the time I felt the price was justified because there were so many games that I knew of that were announced for it. I also thought the next main series Pokemon game would be on it. Even after the price cut I still felt my purchase justified, that was until it became apparent that all those games I heard of were nowhere near close to launching. It wasn't the price that had me regretting my purchase, it was the fact that I paid so much and had nothing to play. I never played any of the ambassador games so that wasn't really fair compensation to me personally but whatever. Now I have a new XL and I don't go a day without playing something on it because there is so much to choose from. For me it's definitely games that make a purchase worthwhile. I don't think the Wii U needs a price cut, just needs games like now.

3DS launched on my 21st birthday here in the US so I got it for free as a gift from my older siblings :c

Also the "I own every iteration of the DS" is a pretty poor defense if you ask me. I liken it to racist who try to downplay their racism by saying they have minority friends. If he had just gone after the controls for the 3DS version I'd be totally understandable but he attacked the main appeal of the DS line and that's the dual screens.

Look, this is the kind of thing I have to point out all the time when politicians put their foot in their mouths. Of course you can have an opinion. No one is disputing his right to his opinion. However when you put your opinion out there, especially on a public forum like Twitter, you better be able to deal with the backlash. In the future he might not want to tweet things when he's obviously in a bad mood, or you know just keep his opinion to himself.

I'm so sick and tired of people moaning about others attacking them for their opinion. You have every right to your opinion, but that doesn't mean other people don't have a right to express their opinion about your opinion.

True the controls aren't perfect, but you do get used to them after awhile if you are willing to work with it. I just think some people don't like learning curves when it comes to these things.

I really hope this comes to North America. I've been interested in this game ever since the clip I saw like 2 years ago!

I'm going to take a few more whacks at the demo before I make any definite decisions on this. The lack of online isn't much of a deterrence as long as the single player isn't shallow.

I couldn't even make it through the demo, just not my taste at all.

Yeah I'll never understand the Kid Icarus control complaints. It has a learning curve sure but after a few hours it's very fluent. I think some people get so upset because it's a REALLY good game that a lot of people just disregard because they can't or won't even attempt to either find a control setting that works for them or even take the time to get use to the default controls. I would've loved to see it sell as well any mario game but oh well.

Yeah I used to be a "Digimon is a Pokemon rip-off" guy then I actually started watching the show and playing some of the games. They are nothing alike and while Pokemon > Digimon as far as games go, Digimon anime is far superior to the Pokemon anime.
