I dismissed this match 3 type game straight away but then I realised there's hardly anything good on mobile for free, so I let my love of Pokemon take the reigns.

Now it's my fave toilet game!

I just seriously hope the NX isn't region locked. At least we can import Vita/PS4 stuff...

@scubydo NIS America publish stuff in Europe, that's what this concerns.

Edit: Sorry, article says it's also Atlus publishing NIS games in America apparently, though I didn't even know that was a thing. NIS doesn't publish US Atlus games, right? I though Atlus did that themselves.

Do Atlus publish NIS games in the US?

It's hard to know what to make of this. Doesn't sound great on the surface. Hope Atlus/Sega announce something soon.

I'm really enjoying SF, especially in co-op mode. If you have someone to play with you locally, I would thoroughly recommend it.

I don't hate the control scheme, it just feels largely unnecessary and elsewhere, a little forced. There are moments where it 'clicks' but it's in short bursts for me.

I find co-op is way more fun, personally. The review average is unfair in my eyes, as it's a decent, polished game.

If my 3DS XL ever breaks and this model sees a PAL release, I will be all over it!

Great, thanks for putting this together! I'll definitely refer to this after my first playthrough.

I'm already planning on taking a less comfortable middle seat on the sofa based on your tips actually! Can't wait to finish work and show off Star Fox to the family.

Could just be as straightforward as profits. We all know how badly the games sell, despite how amazing they are.

If anyone can innovate, it's Nintendo. I think Kimishima has something up his sleeves for NX and amiibo. I suspect they have some good plans already but probably didn't want to waste them on the low Wii U install base and declining 3DS market.

I completely agree with this fella's market assessment though.

@Captain_Gonru yeah, I'm with you there. I play far more RPGs on Vita & 3DS than on PS3/PS4/Wii U (not that there's much beyond Xeno and soon to come TMS/SMT).

However, for me, the vast majority is still played at home but that's because it's easy to suspend play and move from room to room or sneak a 30 min go in while still being 'available' if anyone needs me, on a handheld.

If NX has an advanced Gamepad style solution (which is looking likely) then I should be OK but anyone who wants to play on the go will be hamstrung unless they do a dedicated handheld.

On topic: I think Bravely would do great adapting the art style as is. Maybe look to Vannilaware efforts.

Me and my wife finally decided to see what the fuss was about last year, both grabbing New Leaf.

We're biiiig fans now and both my kids are currently playing it.

I own all bar Wii U Party but, I don't know, the price still seems steep.

Oh wow, this sounds way more promising. I was starting to worry that there was no battle system beyond an automated gym defense thing.

Hype slowly building back up...

Great game, great attitude towards marketing, development, great policy on DLC and nice amiibo bonus content.

Deserved success.

I've always disliked the horrifically flat anime, being near 30 now and considering when it was released in the UK, I was too old to take anything from it but have always loved Pokemon on the gaming side, merch/image side and dabble in the card side on occasion.

This holds little appeal for someone like me (of course I'll wait to see how it comes out, but still) however I know my son and daughter would love this. Frankly they need to mirror the anime somewhat to make the real money, I think.

Shame there wasn't a bigger fanfare over the Origins anime, now THAT was good.

And I have seen bits of the newer episodes (via my son). It is still awful.

Another one for Europe, please!

Nice article. Love me a bit of NX hype/speculation. I will be very happy if the controller doubles as a handheld but the more you put all this tech together, the more it seems like expecting might be a bit lofty - Nintendo like a low price point, this doesn't seem possible given all that is rumoured.

I think Sqeenix backtracked on that 10 mil FF15 comment though. I can't imagine e they expect to sell that many, especially with no immediate PC version planned.

Oh damn, I'very steady earning points since claiming Zelda Picross and have about 600, I think but I was really hoping for more games alongside WarioWare... there's still time!

Oh wow, I didn't know this existed. It looks and sounds great! May have to check this one out. Nice review.

How's the app? I'd love to give it a go but I'm waiting for SD card to be delivered before I can dive in - since Miitomo I've not been to fit anything on!

It's a shame it's not a little closer but I guess it makes sense to host stuff like this in London, at least initially.

Hopefully it will be really popular and expand as I'd quite like to take my son, it's just a touch out of reach.

Either way, I like the concept, hope it goes well.

If my XL ever packs in, this would probs be the way to go.

That is one tasteful box, but yeah, love the faceplates.

I want this for the co-op experience, regardless of whether it's a bit of a cash-in on the name, it does look quite fun.

The roadblock for me is that previews are reporting that it's very slow with not a lot happening. As mich as I prefer going in blind, I'm going to have to rely on some reviews before buying this one.

It's kind of dumb considering I haven't even played the first yet... but I'm still hoping it's for a sequel.

Does seem a stretch though so probably DLC.

Why all the ambiguity? It's like reading legal terms. They should at least provide a list of (normal) words that they perceive to be asking for stars...

Sold! Download play with my son and daughter will be a treat. They're both big Sonic and Mario fans so this will make an excellent gift.

Nice article.

Cutie Crash?

If Final Fantasy 15 on NX is a thing then Nintendo need to hurry up and announce something so I can fix my pre-order.

Hopefully it will happen and, with a bit of luck, have a better frame rate than the PS4 version. If not, I'm staying put.

Loved it. It was exactly what I expected from it. I wasn't looking for anything epic, juSt for them to capture the outlandish cheesiness from the game and they nailed it.

Premium Cruncyroll is great as it's so inexpensive for what you get. Never have any issue with any stream and everything looks great - always high res.

The latest data mined info has made this sound much more appealing actually. Man, I'm fickle today...

I find it odd that people keep suggesting others were expecting a full Pokemon mainline style experience but honestly, I don't see anyone saying that. I wouldn't even interpret this fella's 'raising' comment as that either.

No, I get the impression most were expecting something with substance even if it wasn't the usual Pokemon affair. I'm still eager to see more and get a full picture of what this game's about but the early signs aren't promising.

Lots of love for the C nub here but MH4 is very comfortable with the Cirle Pad Pro. In fact, I have it on my 3DS XL at all times because it's generally more comfortable, even when not used.

Good man for expressing your own opinion in balanced way. Got to say though, the only implementation of the Wiimote beyond Wii Sports was WarioWare: Smooth Moves - the accuracy wasn't needed because the mini games were inventive.

Even Galaxy could've been adapted to play better on a standard controller in my opinion.

I don't know, I don't like the sound of not having battles with wild Pokemon and, maybe I'm asking for too much on an overlay of Google Maps but, it all looks a bit cheap. They should maybe automate more of the 'AR' animations and perhaps go for an art style that doesn't feel quite as superimposed (again, I realise I'm asking for a lot here), maybe saturate the RL colours on the camera to make it look a little brighter and Pokemon-ish?

I'm not convinced at all but I suppose the upshot of having my hype killed is that when we know more, my low expectations can hopefully be exceeded!

Despite the above I will get it and give it a proper go first. How much more development time are they planning?

So on board, they're making my one fave non-traditional JRPG series into my fave genre: traditional JRPGs!

Capcom really have squeezed a lot out of the 3DS' ancient hardware. Here's hoping we see an NX MH sometime in the near future!

I would have preferred a list to be fair, it's too time consuming to search for individual games given the sheer volume of decent games I own on the system.

Could you change the format to simply list all games on a single page and provide a simple tick box at the side to add games to your own collection? That can't be too difficult to implement, right?

I hate to join the judgmental crowd but seriously, I can't get behind anything without physical buttons. 'Innovative' is fine but something like this reeks of gimmick. Which third party devs would seriously buy into this?

I'm calling fake or early prototype. They could easily make something almost identical to this and add a few small buttons without losing the new functionality/look.

@Spin GATCHAMAAAN, yeah that would an interesting spin to say the least

This is a who's who of games I want.

Really had me until I realised it has no local multiplayer. Waaaaay too many backlog games to manage this at the moment.

@Ryu_Niiyama Yup, Bamco all the way. Sqeenix gets the treatment, too

I bet this is more Bamco's push than Nintendo's. Much like I expect Koei were the reason for the Hyrule Warriors demo.

Either way it's a good practice and one Nintendo needs to adopt more frequently.

I think the only idea I can come up with in support of unpopular argument that this sort of option shouldn't exist is that, in certain genres, and, if widely adopted, mass market may always opt for the easy option and devs could use this to skimp on AI.

I honestly don't believe or support that idea, I'm attempting to rationalise the irrational. Truth be told I believe that gaming has to be all about options and a customised experience. Without choices, we'd be watching TV.

I don't where this would fit. Mario & Luigi RPG boss fight? Though without a console entry, that's impossible and it seems to be a bit too much to relegate to a fight.

It would have a form a mode of another game or would need to be a low price budget eshop effort, I think.

Don't get me wrong, I've always loved the idea of this but mass appeal (especially with motion controls), might be difficult.

@WebHead this.

They are simply not marketing Miitomo, yet relying on it to get non-Nintendo users to make a Nintendo account.

I was expecting some TV ads to kick start it in all honesty. Maybe try to forge a (marketing) link between his and Tomodachi Life for a bit of leverage? But nope, nothing.

@chard5000 agreed. Loved Hyper Dimension

Fig10A & B looks to be either an obscene gesture or a punch in the face. Fitting.

@ASonic3582 yeah, seems to be the case though at the time of posting, I didn't realise it was set between to 2 games. I guess time frames doesn't matter for those guys though haha.

Junpei, Akane, Phi and Sigma? Things are going to get mighty confusing me thinks. And I can't wait.

@SKTTR The Ares90 totally looks like a Transformer until it flies, then it looks pretty Gundam 00 haha.

I would totally buy one if my budget allowed for this stuff
