Just because a first person game's on a portable, doesn't mean it has to be dumbed down to death. Games like Half Life, System Shock 2, and Deus Ex came out a over a decade and a half ago... And they're better quality than Moon/Dementium.
Didn't someone say Project Robot was going to release really soon...? In the middle of last year...? I swear, I'm going berserk if a Direct doesn't come soon.
The whole Robot Chicken thing last year was funnier IMO. But as long as they give me us a new Metroid and a new F-Zero, I don't care what skit they do to present them. Advance Wars would be nice too...
@Tsuchinoko Oh... Ok sorry bout that.
I just "control f"ed the wiki page... And that character shows up 196 times in the Pokedex... I guess the hint doesn't narrow it down much.
Or it could be Sylveon, Throh, Luminion, Turtwig, Whiscash, Cacturne, Nosepass, Shedinja, Slakoth, Marshtomp, Sneasel, Quagsire, Politoed, Xatu, Exeggutor, Poliwag, Poliwhirl, Poliwrath, Meowth, Oddish, Nidoran, Nidorano/a, Nidoking, or Nidoqueen (all of their Japanese names start with "n"). So I'd say the main contenders would be Goodra, Sylveon, and Nidoqueen/King. I'm rooting for oddish though
Edit: @Itsraininggravy Haha oops sorry, I didn't notice your post.
1. Guacamelee =2. Bit.Trip =2. Shovel Knight Then maybe Trine 2 or Shantae... If you included 3DS Eshop, Cave Story and VVVVVV would have been right behind Guacamelee.
A planner and bookmarks? Glad to see they're appealing to the Elementary school crowd. 9 year olds won't be able to resist the appeal of 8 bit games that predate their births by decades! And for only $120!
Wow... You gave every single point as to why I believe this to be the best region in the series. I remember having an super awkward team of a Typhlosion, Executtor, Gloom (I never knew I could evolve it lol), Red Gyarados, Arcanine, and a Dewgong that I had to grind like hell for the final gym. No guides, no internet for me back then. I eventually swapped my useless Gloom for Ho-oh, leaving me with three fire types... Somehow I got all the way to Kanto, It's weird how you have so much more patience for grinding when you're younger.
Of course, Houndoom looked too cool to pass up in the post game, leaving me with FOUR fire types. No wonder I kept on blacking out...
Congrats! This was my daily go to site for a year or two before I finally made an account. Oh yeah... hate to be impatient, but you guys almost done with the Yo-Kai Watch review?
My excitement over Neo Geo games on the virtual console would be indescribable... See avatar, lol. I actually had no idea Japan was still into the Pachinko stuff.
Animal Crossing Board Game... Bobblehead Metroid... Ooh, I can't wait to see how they take a dump all over The Zelda series! OK, It's obvious that it's going to be a great game, they just need to know what parts of the series need to change, and what components need to stay.
I've loved the wacky characters in SMT and Fire Emblem. I'm hoping they have a lot of quirky characters like this guy! Hey, I wonder if they'll involve any characters from FE Fates, that would pretty sweet.
Hell yeah! Best generation hands down. I still replay Crystal from time to time. I think I might crack open a playthrough of Gold instead sometime... With Ampharos gone in Crystal, my team always feels incomplete.
Nintendo possibly adding new Smash characters when they already said they would? Whaaaaaat? Oh well, none of my most wanted characters are popular enough to be in the top 3. I doubt they'll just pick the top three though.
Well unlike "Fire Emblem Awakening", this game presents a completely different genre than what the past games in the series have. None of the past games have even come close to being 2D platformers.
@abbyhitter What if the Wii U version had RPG style exploration with the battles replaced by these fights? And you could still catch Pokemon when their health is low! It's definitely a stretch, but that would be amazing!
This game wasn't part of my "childhood" like a lot of other people on this site, but upon playing it, it still releases this aura of nostalgia... The music, the graphics, the design, it's all very memorable regardless.

Hey, Goodra's Japanese name is Numerogon, (which starts with an "n") I bet it's that, they haven't revealed any Gen 6 Pokemon yet.
