What about a "link to the past"-style game an the "dark world" is actually a gender-swapped world. That way everyone could have his/her own distinct life, comparable to how it was done in "link between worlds"??
@uhhhhhhhh "The best part of this is that almost every tutorial can be completely passed over or skipped through if you aren't interested. The 'R' button fast-forwards through text boxes and cutscenes at lightning pace, so there's always a way to keep things moving if you so choose."
@DoctorOverbuild Ok, I can see that, but one could also say that playing Platoon against those freaky Japanese isn't always fun either! Also, I would think it could be to combat the laging..?
Tri Force heroes is a surprising lot of fun, even though the critical response was not unanimously praising it. I'm guessing it'll be one of those lingering sales like destiny, but for Nintendo-fans!
Has anyone noticed that's a King R Kool Mii costume? I'm guessing they're not going to pull a link and NOT include him as a new fighter this generation!!
@Desy64 Well... I haven't tried co-op to be honest, but there are too many bug tbh... I play it in small instances so it doesn't bother me too much, but I've already had a bug where my camera was stuck revolving around some empty air, I'm guessing the character didn't load... So I'd ga with the review and go with a Xbox or Playstation version of the game if you can, and only get this one if you care about JP like me and can forgive the bugs... :/
@Platypus101 Twitch plays pokemon was unbelievably fascinating! I'm not sure what you're looking for on youtube, but there is a bunch of interesting stuff on there! ^^
The Wii U is not making them lose money anymore, so why would they rush production of the NX? If anything has taught them with the Wii U, it's that no software means no hardware sales!
So I'm guessing they'll announce the thing in 2016 and launch it in November 2017 so they'll have a lot of time to accumulate a decent amount of exclusives and third-party contracts for when it launches. If they do that, and blow people away (not like the E3 event! ) they could recover and come back swinging..
We wanted an awesome game in order to be proud of Nintendo. Just like we're all happy Splatoon is doing so well! Mario Maker is super Nintendo focussed, Starfox is to niche, just like Xenoblade Chronicles, no Xbox or Playstation owner is going to buy a Wii U for those games... but a Metroid? Maybe..
The point is that as Nintendo-fans we're backed up in a corner, whether we like it or not, and it's cool to be proud of Nintendo for listening to us and bringing the quality like Mario Kart, Smash, Splatoon, Rainbow Curse, Tropical Freeze, Wooly World, etc. So many great games these past year, but there's not much on the horizon it seems. Especially since we're all afraid the NX will steal all the good games away... Metroid Prime: Federation Force, and Animal Crossing Party are called slaps to our collective faces because we feel like Nintendo is letting us down, precisely when we need it the most. The Wii U is a huge flop commercially, and that sucks for us because it has so much potential!! I never felt like I was missing out when the GC and the Wii were out, but now I am. Both Xbox and Sony seem to have listened to their fans when we look at their remodelled services and announced games that were asked for ages ago!! Shenmue, FF7, 360 backwards compatibility... :/
I am sad and disappointed because I feel Nintendo is wasting its potential
Okay, I eased up pretty quickly after seeing this game on Treehouse, but man everybody is now telling everyone that was upset to be glad with what we got... but we wanted a Metroid game that looked glamorous and atmospheric, exploring huge deserted space stations or planets... The problem is not this game, it looks fun, but it's that Nintendo doesn't seem to want to give us what we really want this year... We wanted to be proud Wii U owners, but it's kinda hard when Nintendo doesn't seem to stand behind us in the coming year...
Just looking at the games: Wii U Star Fox Zero (Wii U) (we knew already) Super Mario Maker (Wii U) (we knew already) Yoshi's Woolly World (Wii U) (we knew already) Xenoblade Chronicles X (Wii U) (we knew already) Animal Crossing amiibo Festival (Wii U) Mario Tennis Ultra Smash (Wii U) Skylanders Superchargers (Wii U) Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem (Wii U) (we knew already)
3DS Metroid Prime: Federation Force (3DS) Hyrule Warriors Legends (3DS) (we knew already) Fire Emblem Fates (3DS) (we knew already) Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer (3DS) (we knew already) Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam (3DS) The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes (3DS) Yo-kai Watch (3DS)
They gave us 6 new games... 6!!! Really Nintendo?? Why on God's green Earth did you shove Mother 1 under the carpet like that before the Championships?? That was more hype than anything in the Digital screw-up...

I got a super catch mode, when i tried to catch Shuckle It went from 10% catch rate, x2 for great ball + 30% with the super catch mode to a 50% catch rate! It eventually ran away... -_- but it was better than the normal chances of catching a damn elusive bug-rock pokemon that should've evolved into.... something else that what it is now! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzZqxkkUHLc
I must say that I was't entirely convinced if I wanted to buy Code Name STEAM, but I'm actually glad I did! It sucks you in, and the third-person, turn-based action is pretty damn exciting, especially in close-quarters. Too bad it seems to be selling quite poorly... I'd love a sequel to be honest.
After thinking about it, I think I understand why the number of stores is this low and the game is such a dud...
Nintendo wants to present itself as the alternative, the game company that appeals to everyone, but in presenting itself casual they overshoot it (again) and the counter themselves.... E.g.:
They want everyone to compete so they go with a simple game, a 3DS game nobody bought (Hey! free advertising).
They don't want EVERYONE so they limit the amount of stores, what if nobody goes to the event when there are too many? (I see a pattern here with Amiibo!)
If Nintendo wants to present itself as THE alternative, they should EMBRACE the competitive scene.
Why? Because they are masters at making simple games that anyone can understand! We all know it and that's why we all hate the way this event is going!!! A lot of people play DOTA, but many more don't understand it. Everybody understands the endgame of Super Mario, Starfox...
I mean come on Nintendo, you say couch multiplayer is what (should) drive(s) people at home to play videogames. You know what the world championships are? One big frakkin couch multiplayer with hundreds of people watching!!
Imagine this:
Pikmin 3 bingocards multiplayer
Super Mario 3D World multiplayer
Super Smash brothers (why not throw in the Smash Tour instead of regular stock matches, to show people it can actually be fun!!
Donkey Konga 1 & 2 Tournaments
Zelda Crossbow Training
Splatoon tournaments
Starfox 3D speedrun
Mario Kart 8 (why is this not a thing???)
Mario Golf, Mario Party, Mario Tennis, Mario Superstrikers...
Jezus Nintendo, I'm in the mood to organise something like this on my own now....
So at E3. in the presentation they'll show the gameboy intro between Gengar and Nidorino, and then transition it into Pokken just like the first episode of the anime!!
@abe_hikura the deadline passed for retail copies, but but for digital copies the deadline in Europe is for the 20th! Anyone got a got another suggestion?
Dang it.. I was hoping for some discounts before the 20th... Does anyone know how many stars we get in Europe for registering Azure Striker Gunvolt? I need an extra 250 stars...
