I died a little inside and sadness came to my body and mind, when I read news and even cried because of tributes for him on YouTube, which seems like overreacting since I haven't known him personally or he wasn't part of my family, but his decisions and vision inspired by Hiroshi Yamauchi, to release fun, innovative and imaginative games helped me to live through painful teenage years with GameCube, Wii and DS, when my little brother died due to lymphoma, that's why I thank for him. l will always remember Mr. Iwata as a brilliant programmer, warm, quirky and funny businessman in interviews, E3 presentations and Directs and passionate gamer at heart. He was criticized, in last years and sometimes rightly, but that's the price of being a leader - you have to deal with feedback. This was man, who made responsibility for amazing programming contributions to Balloon Fight, Pokemon Stadium, Super Smash Bros. Melee, Kanto map for Pokemon Gold/Silver and especially to one of the my favorite games of all time - EarthBound. He helped Kirby and Super Smash Bros. games to be released. He resurrected HAL Laboratory, when was on the verge of bankruptcy and cut half of his salary in order to not fire his people, what a gentleman. My condolences to his family and friends. Thank you for everything you did good for gaming. Rest in peace and sayonara, Mr. Iwata.
Well, I guess I will only download Pokemon Rumble World or Quell Memento for 3DS and nothing tempting to download from discounts, other than The Keep, which I have. I don't like microtransactions, but if this new Pokemon game will be at least tolerable as Pokemon Shuffle, I wouldn't mind. Affordable Space Adventures looks interesting, but too expensive for me, I will wait for good discount.
Just registered to post here, so greetings everyone.
As for the character, which I chose for Super Smash Bros. Fighter Ballot, it was:
Seriously, Balloon Fighter needs to be playable. He is character of iconic game from NES history. Apparently, Nintendo loves to include many references of his game like in WarioWare games, Picross DS, NES Remix, Tetris DS and whole Nintendoland attraction. He has a sequel for Game Boy, although Alice took his place, and also remake for DS featuring Tingle. There is a stage based on Balloon Fight in 3DS version of Smash and you can listen to music and remixes based on his game. Even Sakurai considered Balloon Fighter to be playable in Super Smash Bros. Melee, but he scrapped this for Ice Climbers, because he said that had no idea how to make him work without balloons, but when I read on internet really creative and legit movesets by fans like this

Sakurai should make this thing a reality. I don't care that Villager stole Balloon Fighter's ability, he is still viable enough to be a worthy and unique fighter. I would recommend to check out a thread on Smashboards for more movesets: http://smashboards.com/threads/balloon-fighter-for-smash-4.324330/

Re: Reminder: There's Only One More Week Left To Vote In The Super Smash Bros. Fighter Ballot

I voted for Balloon Fighter, before people voted for him due to Satoru Iwata's passing.
@martynstuff
+1 We need more retro and oddball representation in Smash.
Re: Reminder: Grab a Mythical Diancie in Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire This Weekend
Got promotional code for Diancie and shiny Mega Gengar, when I bought Pokemon Omega Ruby day one. Having another Diancie is tempting to me.
