@MegaTen Same here. I only have Origins and love it. I tried a couple levels of Legends with my friend one time. He owns the Wii U version and we had a blast. The music levels and Kung Foot were standouts from what I remember. Since I never bought Legends on the Wii U, I'll probably pick this version up based on portability alone.
@th3r3ds0x Rayman Legends wasn't a Wii U launch title. It got delayed to 2013 in order to be a multiplatform release. Retailers have Rayman Legends: Definitive Edition listed at $40 and since I didn't get to pick up the Wii U version, I intend to buy this. I do hope that the technical issues in the docked mode are resolved because that actually would be a deal breaker considering platformers demand precision and audio issues in the music levels should not be an issue.
@thesilverbrick You do realize that the physical version of Minecraft on the Switch will most likely be $30, not $60, right? That's what the price of the Wii U physical version was at launch.
What's next? New art of Star Fox Zero? (Actually, I'd be okay with Star Fox Zero coming to Switch with improved controls because that's arguably the biggest problem with the game. Playing it on the go would be a nice bonus, too.)
I'm shocked that Flip Wars isn't coming to North America today alongside Europe. I guess I'm going to have to either wait longer or figure out how to import a game from the European eShop.
@ericflapjack The only games they haven't shown off yet at the Treehouse are Kirby and Ever Oasis. Maybe they'll show Hey! Pikmin and more Odyssey but I expect a surprise or two to show up today now that the tournaments are done.
@NEStalgia Oh yeah, that's right. It was in development for 3 years because they had that gap between Syndicate and Origins. It looks like the wait paid off though. I doubt that a Switch port is coming so I guess I'll just have to play it on PC.
I really don't get why Assassin's Creed Origins isn't coming to Switch. Assassin's Creed III and IV came to Wii U in its early days and I thought that Ubisoft would continue that trend by bringing Origins to Switch after the Wii U "missed" the past few entries. I actually haven't cared about an AC game since Black Flag but Origins looks so cool!
Come on, Nintendo! Put Picross 3D: Round 2 on sale already! It's been out since September 2016 and it has still yet to have a price drop or even a sale! $29.99 is too steep for something like that!
@ThatNyteDaez Nintendo should have waited on Pokemon Sun and Moon and delayed it for the Switch. So many more people would be lining up to get a Switch if they had done that.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Yeah, the biggest games coming out for the 3DS and New 3DS this year are Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, the Pikmin 3DS game, Fire Emblem Warriors, Lady Layton, Mario Sports Superstars, Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World (already out now), and Dragon Quest VIII (already out now). I doubt that more support for the 3DS will come from Nintendo after that Pikmin game comes out.
@RainbowGazelle You have a good point but I think that just the thought of Myiamoto thinking that a new F-Zero would be plausible and asking third-party developers to make it is certainly a step in the right direction. Maybe we'll see an F-Zero game on the "NX". Who knows?
@Captain_Gonru Wait, I misread what you said. I thought you said that this was there worst E3 ever. My bad. I agree that Amiibo Festival was the worst part of the whole presentation. It just looks so boring to play and on top of that, the announcement was executed so poorly. It started out with the AC amiibo, leaving the assumption of a new (proper) AC game for the Wii U. I feel for you on that one, and I'm not even a huge AC fan.
Actually, the title of this game got changed to Genei Ibun Roku X FE. I think Nintendo Life should update that. I still don't know why Nintendo had to change the name. Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem just rolls off the tongue better in my opinion.
The way that this was showcased on Nintendo Direct yesterday made it feel like it was an April Fools' Day joke. I was laughing hard! That's when I found out that it was real...
Well, at least it's another third-party game for the Wii U. I was actually thinking about playing this one so the fact that Legend of Kay is coming to the Wii U in HD, I will definitely buy this. I will wait for a price drop first since I also want Splatoon, Hyrule Warriors, Rodea the Sky Warrior, The Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures, and Super Smash Bros. Lucas and Mii costumes DLC.
I was a bit surprised that this was coming to NA, especially since the last Fatal Frame game stayed in Japan. Fatal Frame V looks pretty intense and scary.
@aaronsullivan I agree. Although with it being Nintendo and the Zelda Wii U game being pushed back, I think there will be at least one surprise game announcement to ease the stockholders and fans.
Here's what I think will be touched on for this Nintendo Direct (not in any particular order):
Splatoon
Upcoming eShop titles from indie developers
Mario Kart 8 X Animal Crossing DLC
Wave 5 Amiibos
Nintendo's partnership with DeNA
New Nintendo loyalty program
Final Club Nintendo rewards
Mewtwo DLC
Xenoblade Chronicles X
Mario Maker
Yoshi's Woolly World
Fire Emblem If (maybe)
Something silly somewhere (maybe)
One previously unannounced title (most likely a new Animal Crossing)

Re: Video: New Kid Tripp 3DS Trailer Goes Big on Retro Charm
@impurekind It is an "endless runner" only in style. The game is still level based.

Re: Nintendo Download: 6th July (North America)
@OorWullie My thoughts exactly.

Re: Rumour: Super Mario/Rabbids Crossover Still in Works for Nintendo Switch
@sillygostly Rabbids Go Home on the Wii was actually decent.

Come on, Nintendo! Put Picross 3D: Round 2 on sale already! It's been out since September 2016 and it has still yet to have a price drop or even a sale! $29.99 is too steep for something like that!
Re: Nintendo Switch Will Have A "Lot More Announcements" on Third-Party Games Soon
@Darkwario1 More first party games will be announced at E3.

Re: Nintendo Switch Will Have A "Lot More Announcements" on Third-Party Games Soon
@JLPick Super Bomberman R is a Switch exclusive. Konami doesn't have any plans to release it on other systems, at least for now.
Re: Nintendo Download: 9th February (North America)
Why don't they just discount Picross 3D: Round 2 already? I would buy that immediately!
Re: Official Financial Results Q&A Clarifies Kimishima's "3DS Successor" Comment
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Yeah, the biggest games coming out for the 3DS and New 3DS this year are Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, the Pikmin 3DS game, Fire Emblem Warriors, Lady Layton, Mario Sports Superstars, Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World (already out now), and Dragon Quest VIII (already out now).

Re: Tatsumi Kimishima Expects Nintendo Switch To Sell "About As Well" As The Wii
That's way too optimistic. It will probably outperform the Wii U and possibly the Xbox One but not the PS4.
Re: Pokémon Duel Arrives on iOS and Android in the West
It sorta looks like Hitman Go meets Pokémon.
Re: Reminder: Day Two of E3 Brings Multiple Nintendo Games Including a 'New Role-Playing IP'
@gloom I've heard good things about Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. but I've never personally played it. You can get it for like $10 now at some stores.
Re: Reminder: Day Two of E3 Brings Multiple Nintendo Games Including a 'New Role-Playing IP'
The RPG they are referring to is Yo-Kai Watch 2: Bony Spirits/Fleshy Souls.
Re: Fans Are Creating A Brand-New Quest For The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time
@EverythingAmiibo Other than the Earth Labyrinth, I completely agree with you.
Re: Quadcopter Pilot Challenge is Flying Into North America Soon
The graphics give The Letter a run for its money. How is that possible?!

@Captain_Gonru Um, you don't remember Wii Music?
Re: New Trailer Emerges for Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem

Re: Video: See for Yourself How 200cc Speed Affects Mario Kart 8 Racing
@ShanaUnite You still don't have one? There's plenty of great games on the Wii U.

Re: Nintendo DS And Nintendo 64 Games Finally Coming To The Wii U Virtual Console
Of all the DS and N64 Virtual Console games coming to Wii U, the only 2 I haven't played are Yoshi: Touch & Go and WarioWare: Touched!

@CanisWolfred We all know the feel...
Re: Pandora's Tower And Sin And Punishment Coming To The European eShop This Month
@Dpishere Same here, except I already have Kirby's Return to Dream Land.
Re: Nintendo Download: 2nd April (North America)
Man, I wish I had known that The Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures was going to be added to the eShop like a month ago! Now I have no money on there.
Re: Wii U Horror Title Fatal Frame Confirmed For Western Release Later This Year
