I'd half expect a surprise launch of "Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn" on the Wii U as VC. Other then that. Maybe an HD version of "Radiant Dawn" and "Path of Radiance".

But I do expect Fire Emblem: Fates to show up. There are two maps that are only Japan right now. Hoshidan Festival of Bonds and Nohrian Festival of Bonds. Which are support grinding maps with some new conversations and more Exalt Brands and Hero's Brands in them. They are similar to the "Scramble" maps from Awakening and I expect they either launch or are announced today.

Eh, I'd expect 50-70 Canadian.

I call it a semi-portable.

That poor translator.

Well at least the Switch Presentation is tonight. So go drink your pint, play some pokemon and relax now Alex.

Festival Plaza is a mess and although I signed up and caught 10 or 11 within the time limit, I scored 0 to add to the total because I never went back into the plaza and connected to submit my catches which I had assumed would be uploaded automatically but nope and I don't see why I had to, its not like my 3DS isn't connected to the internet at home and Festival Plaza is basically a convoluted series of disguised menus. Anyhow, back to my post game legend hunt.

It'll be a shame to lose it but I normally only use it in a few games and often only for the first so many hours. Streetpass was the giant feature of interest to me before launch.

Merry Christmas N-life!

Seems like a title that could still come out today.

So close @Alex. You'll get him next time.

Some nice touch ups but I'm still on and off wearing away at my PS2 copy. So I might pass and just stick to it.

@Frank90 - Camilla always fires in the channel that has the most troops. However I found that regardless to be a tad unfair. Especially since of the last 3 chapters only 1 of them had any exp in it, always causing me to be under leveled or force grinding.

As for the Awakening or Fates arguement. I'd go Conquest > Awakening > Revelations > Birthright. I got the stiff but fair challenge I wanted in Conquest that I didn't get in the other 3DS Fire Emblems while bringing me some decent dialogue in supports and a new twist on the plot. Revelations was a grind fest. Conquest has two chapters that lack exp and then expected me to handle two challenging chapters as if I wasn't lacking the levels I could have had otherwise and I hate that the maps were often rush to kill the right guys, cross my fingers, then sweep up the rest. Awakening was a pain in the butt with the enemy reinforcements that get to attack the turn they show up and the Valm chunk of the game felt like it was tacked on.

I wouldn't recommend Bravely Default to anyone, but that's me. It got dull and the bosses got silly difficult.

Nice video.
I always have wondered what danger the Happy Mask man had to over come to obtain Majora's Mask in the first place, I wonder if we'll ever learn, of course if we do, I would half suspect it would raise questions as to why he didn't try to stop Majora and instead sent Link.

I assume the lack of photos and the fact that young people can't get this unless the parents pay and state they'll watch how the child uses it makes this round safer. Here's to hoping some old friends get back intouch and My Nintendo offers ink colours as rewards.

Please be as Swapnote was. I had connection with real life friends only through the app, its been years since we were in touch. I'd love to get in touch again.

Oceanic Operetta is so slow, I was mentally screaming dodge and how can this hit?

They had a neat last 12 hours where the player played Desert Bus with their feet and various games that were often on Nintendo consoles from what I saw at the same time with their hands.

Well they got the annoying character spot on from what I recall.

I'm mildly interested.

Oops. Said nothing, likely downloading the Mario Party Guest play.

I have it on PS2. I'm not really keen on re-buying games I own in perfect working order so I might pass. Third ending though and the new touches might make me change my mind later.

Sigh, I had no one asking to get Animal Crossing, already started again. Well its good to see people excited and the content looks pretty good but I'll likely not bother with the series still.

@Thomas - You got an "of" in stead of "or" here.
"EB Games for Canada of GameStop's UK site"

Could be useful. I rarely trade in games but there are a few old ones that if they were priced like new titles would be cheaper for me to find, of course I'll explore the normal options I have first because there are some very reasonably priced retro game sellers around me.

I have played the 3DS virtual Console copy. Difficult title. I beat the first castle, I think I was in the second one when I stopped, interesting but challenging, not sure if I will return to finish it or not.

The challenges look neat. I wonder if one can put them in one's own levels? I mean I doubt one could be it would be neat.

Really played up the damage one of the Primal Pokemon could cause in this one. Kind of shocking they would play it as Archie dying possibly when he lives in the game.

Hmm. I wonder does that mean Ruby is more canonical then Sapphire ?

Might buy Served but for now. Nothing.

Nice to bring it up the possibility of a return but I'm not sure we'll see them again. I'm pretty sure in that HeartGold/SoulSilver event. That was the end of Giovanni's ambition and rocket was stopped.

Ash-Greninja. Nope, I think I'm going to be cancelling that pre-order.

Controls were awful and the farther in the game I got the more forced they were which made the game less enjoyable.

So close. We missed the part where Dragonite Hyperbeamed a man aside but still pretty good. Though the Rocket drunks weren't looking sober. Not bad though.

Actually got a Wii copy for cheap this month.

Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again, Dragon Quest Wars, Starship Defense and Shantae Risky's Revenge are likely my favourites though I like most DSiware I bought or got.

I love the "Light" from Death Note like lines Blue has at the end.

Very pleased to see Pikachu's lighting useless on Wooper. Looking forward to more of this.

Looking forward to this, I know it won't be IX but that's fine, I'm heading into a solo adventure, not a mutliplayer romp.

@BensonUii - Good luck. I've found it at EBgames in Canada for 14.99 Can. So I'm sure you can find it.

I wonder if this is using the Chibi Robot 2D game engine to some degree?

I've done this one the Wii U with a friend, its a blast, aside from resetting the arena. We quickly changed the arena to slime blocks, broke quickly, and forced us to bounce, risking falling in.

Last thing we did to it was what he coined "Pig Spleefing". We have saddled pigs above the lava on the platform and we had to be on the back of a pig at all times, so we bounced around the arena from pig to pig. I'm guessing Pig Spleefing will remain on our worlds but Tumble should be fun, much more relaxed and silly then Battle.

Coins I can suddenly spend some of. Sure I'll grab it.

TMS is fantastic, I'm quite pleased with what occured.

Pretty sure there was a control set up that mapped jump to R instead of the touch screen. Doubt I'll pick it up as I got a functional DS copy.

Looking forward to it. Not sure when I'm picking it up.

Vulpix looks like they could have just called it a new species. Exeggutor looks to be in rough shape and I'm not sure what to make of Sandshrew. New stuff looks pretty good though and it almost sounds like we get to become 4 island champions which makes me wonder if the leagues and gyms are not present in this game.

Seems good with me.

@Oat - You're welcome

Certainly interested in getting this. Darksiders II has been playing nicely for me on Wii U and I'd love to know the back story that got things to where it is now.

Unless the controls are dreadful I don't think the early access effects my buying plans, aside from maybe putting them higher or lower on "games to get next" list. Though normally they are too close to launch to change things.

I'm rather enjoying Blast Ball, there is some hidden skill in the game, figuring out where to be on the field, what shots to use when and what power ups you want and when to use them. Eject is a little too strong and the best defense against it I've seen was by the computer where they all stood in front of the net, making a wall till they could play again. There almost is a hidden luck based game when the ball first drops, its gotten me 3 scores in the first 1-2 second of a match, something to do with charge shot and the ball being bounced by the other players. It does suck when you get stuck with people who aren't sure of what they are up to and the opponents are aces by comparison. I hope friend match making is a thing in the full game, but for now, its a new multiplayer game with friends and I'm enjoying grabbing the paint jobs, as well as having rolled credits.

@Oat - When the full game launches in NA. The Blast Ball download in NA will lose the online and those servers will be used for the retail game of Federation Force/Blast Ball.

Blast Ball it seems for me.

My favourites are definitely the Fire Emblem 4 that were first released. Getting an extra optional character from each in Code Name Steam and F.E. Fates has been my favourite use of them, a bonus but not needed to enjoy the game.
