The fact that the boxart renders come from 4 separate Mario Kart games bothers ne

@thesilverbrick inklings are right handed, so the ink shoots out not directly in front of the inkling, but very slightly to the right. With the mirrored map, one team is able to hit the other team around corners slightly easier than the other. In the rotationally symmetric maps, the side you spawn on doesn't cause this (admittedly very slight) advantage

Moar Fire Emblem! Let the haters suffer! Full roster of notable Fire Emblem characters! Tiki, Hector, Alm, Celica, Sigurd, Ephraim, Elincia, Micaiah, Azura, FE16 lords! Make an entire 1/3 of the roster Fire Emblem! Anytime someone complains about a Fire Emblem rep, add another one in! Mwahahahaha

This would be a fantastic soundtrack to study to, if only it wasn't limited to Japan...

My personal favorite mobile game ever, probably thanks to my utter obsession with Fire Emblem. Even Nintendo's other mobile games, while entertaining in small bursts, don't compare to the amount of fun I've had with FE Heroes. The new banners focusing on previous entries is certainly enticing, especially since we're starting off strong with an Elibe focused banner!

Knowing Illumination's track record with the horrid Lorax movie and the LCD-status of Sing and SLoP, I'm not expecting anything more than a decent-at-best film. Maybe around the level of the Ratchet and Clank movie.

@MeloMan To be fair, as someone who's played both the original Metroid II and Samus Returns, it's only really a remake at the surface level. Story-wise, yes it's the same. Gameplay-wise, however, it's a brand new metroid game through and through. New maps, new power ups, new enemies, new combat abilities - it feels much more like an "A Link Between Worlds"-esque game

@sr_388 I personally either say just "V" or "V 6 times"

@rjejr Oh how I wish that were true. I'm still waiting for them to acknowledge that Threads of Fate/Dewprism exists...

Ah yes, the infamous Hyrule Encyclopedia, which included revelations such as the Oracle games not being put between ALttP and LA anymore, that Termina was just the Skull Kid's dream the whole time, that the Kokiri used to be Hylians who settled in the forest, that the races seen in Skyward Sword didn't evolve into the current races but instead went extinct, and that the Triforce was completely annihilated after Wind Waker, among several other oddities and inconsistencies. I'm still looking forward to the release, but those expecting definitive lore and answers may be disappointed

@Tsurii I don't care about the $10 price tag being expensive or not, I'm just saying that the Fire Emblem example he provided could be completed for free, and has no mandatory price, whereas Mario does has a mandatory price. It'd be like comparing buying Pokemon Gold or Silver vs downloading Pokemon Shuffle on the 3DS eShop, I don't think the comparison is fair.

@Caryslan I don't necessarily think that comparison makes sense. With Super Mario Run, in order to access a majority of the game, you have to spend $9.99. No other way around it. With Fire Emblem Heroes, sure you have the potential to spend a ton of money, but the entire game itself is free. Just because some people don't have self control doesn't make FE inherently more expensive, and the people that do spend all that money are most likely not the same people who are frustrated with Mario Run's price. Heck, with Fire Emblem Heroes, you get orbs just for turning the game on and completing levels, there's no need to actually buy anything if you're patient.

@meleebrawler That may be because of Japan's whole "community over the individual" mindset they have. I believe that's part of the reason why popular shonen, even if the main character themself is OP, often have friendship and comradery as a theme, since it plays into that very mindset.

@Monado_III I could be wrong, but I think they're being sarcastic

Definitely looking forward to the wedding figures, not particularly interested in the goomba or koopa ones

@Baker1000 Yeah, it's way more than pose - the one in front is male, and the one in back is female

@Fooligan Poor college students who can't afford to eat anything better

I have a kind of older phone (Galaxy s3), but it runs pretty much every game I want to play on it flawlessly, except for this one. No matter what I do, it crashes right after the title screen, leaving me to hope that one day, one of these updates will fix this buggy mess so the game can properly function. (Seriously, c'mon, Nintendo! if they can get Mario Run to work just fine, and if my phone can run more complicated games like Phantom of the Kill, why can't they get this to run just fine?)

@BaffleBlend Actually it seems people are instead triggered because of the partnership being with Mega Bloks instead of Lego.

Ever since the update, my game crashes whenever I tap my profile picture. It runs perfectly fine until I tap that picture, so my trainer is perpetually doomed to wear the same outfit for eternity (or until a new update rolls around )

In order to access the new dungeon in Link's Awakening, you had to re buy the entire game along with a Game Boy Color.
In order to fight the true Final Boss in Oracle of Ages, you had to buy an entirely new game.
In order to access an entire sidequest in Wind Waker, you needed to buy a GBA and a Link Cable.
In order to access everything in Four Swords/FS Adventures, you needed 4 GBAs and 4 cables.
All of these examples were "locked behind a paywall," if you think about it. Difference is, BotW is a complete game from the start, unlike these examples. The DLC is extra side content being developed and is available for essentially "pre-order." The Zelda series has not been above requiring extra payments to experience absolutely all the content in a game for quite a while now.

This is hysterical. I love it

I'm certainly looking forward to trying this out, FMA and FMAB are my favorite anime of all time!

@Warruz A Link Between Worlds came out in November 2013, on the same day as Mario Party Island Tour (at least in NA), which is a Nintendo Select title, and Kirby Triple Deluxe came out in May 2014. Yoshi's New Island also launched in spring of 2014 now that I think about it. So, all things considered, I don't think ALBW is missing out for it's relative "newness"

I remember enjoying Pitfall the Big Adventure on Wii, fun little Zelda-ish game, even if the cover art conflicted with the actual graphics.

Have to admit, I absolutely adore the art-style!!

@Daruncic They have... https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2016/07/autumn_animal_crossing_new_leaf_update_to_bring_amiibo_figure_and_card_support

So in Europe it's named Hana Samurai instead of Sakura Samurai? Interesting. I also find it kinda funny that Hana and Sakura are both names for characters in FE Fates Birthright.

53 amiibo and counting! I can't help it, I love these little things!

Ah, my first Ranger game, and one of my first DS games. Still my favorite Ranger game, I remember it being first game I ever 100% completed as a kid.

Odd how they didn't use the ring model from the Lord of the Rings sets.

I still have his Gold Pants Mii in my Streetpass Plaza. Sorry to see him go, wish him well.

Whoever thought this movie up must be a Blockhead.

And I'm just waiting for a new NiGHTS game...

The Rotom in the Pokedex is the greatest thing ever! Oh, and I guess the legendaries and the other characters are cool, too.

@BornInNorway81 The Wii U eShop, at least in North America, classifies them as Virtual Console titles.

Still one of my favorite games on the NES! I loved how the original came with a piece of paper you needed to dunk in water for one of the puzzles.

I'm gonna have to check these levels out later.

"it's not like there's any big difference between Zelda games"
Except there are, especially concerning the two NES games...
"so who's quibbling?"
I guess I am...

@DonSerrot MH4U is #6 on the Retail list.

Where did you see that it will include Inside Out characters? I looked at both directs, and while they included other Pixar characters from Toy Story and Monster's Inc., I didn't see any emotions in either.

EDIT: nevermind, I see that it was part of the Japanese direct.

After reading a bunch of these comments, I feel like one of the only users on this site who actually likes all the Zelda games.

I have all of the most popular amiibo in the US, with the exception that my Bowser is from the Super Mario series, not Smash.

@Rutana It's been confirmed that ALBW and TFH take place after Link's Awakening, which itself succeeded ALTTP (with the Oracle games in between ALTTP and LA)

This generation introduced Meloetta, so that automatically makes it the best.

@ThomasBW84 There is an error in the second paragraph. *Gen VI, not Gen IV.

I already bought Cloud and am hyped for Corrin. Don't care as much for Bayonetta, but her stage looks cool.

All the people complaining about too many FE characters when two are optional DLC characters...

The $80 Link statue from Gamestop is a Stocking Stuffer? Ok, then...
