This interests me, but at the same time I dropped out of Skylanders and Disney Infinity after I stopped doing anything with the latter and swapped it all for amiibo. I'm just afraid that some of the expansions and such are going to be retailer exclusive, as well as bought en masse by eBay resellers. I consider myself to be lucky that I was able to secure the amiibo I have, and only with this past wave of preorders have I failed to get the ones I want completely. Not sure if I want to do it all again with this.
I'm probably going to get one of the Kirby themes, maybe the Gunvolt one, but I already went ahead and got the new Theatrhythm DLC songs that were released today but omitted from the above lost somehow.
@ParSnake Megalomania (Live A Live's boss theme) is out as of yesterday.
Wonderful selection from Chrono Trigger. It seems every time I see an article about Theatrhythm DLC I get super excited. I'm still hoping Chrono Cross gets added in at some point, as well as more Final Fantasy Adventure, but I'm pretty happy with what we've been getting so far. More of this, please, Squeenix!
EDIT: Forgot to mention I'm also still holding out for Mystic Quest's final boss theme.
"Super Mario Bros.- a multi level adventure maze game." I found that amusing. I admit I haven't played Super Mario Bros. as much as most other people, but IIRC the closest the game got to a maze was one of the Bowser castle levels with the repeating paths and you had to go through the correct paths in the correct order. Just saying.
Good on him for being clever about it, but the video shows he already had two Game Boys (a Color and an Advance), and both versions of the game. So unless he just happens to not have a link cable, this endeavor, at least to me, seems completely pointless.
I understand and respect why people are sick of remakes, but there are several situations, especially with Majora's Mask where I'm absolutely ecstatic that they do them on portable consoles. Portable consoles are my bread and butter, and when someone remakes a game I already greatly enjoy for a portable console, (the most prominent examples thus far being OoT, MM, Starfox 64, Chrono Trigger, and Castlevania Dracula X Chronicles), you can bet your bottom dollar I'm going to get it. There are even other examples, like Xenoblade Chronicles and DKC Returns, where I passed them up the first time around, mainly because I don't play my home consoles nearly as much, but I'll become interested once they're portable.
I figured that there would be some kind of amiibo support. That's really the only reason I preordered the Shulk amiibo, since I knew I wanted to try Xenoblade when it came out on N3DS.
@Spoony_Tech I know I'll be getting both. These are the two games I'm probably the most excited for, period. I more than likely will play MM3D a bit more to start (the place I just moved to is currently without internet for the short term future), but I'm definitely looking forward to both.
I consider myself extraordinarily lucky with these code handouts, I got Smash, Pokemon, and this. Looking forward to busting out the old CPP and hunting some monsters.
Like pretty much every other person alive it seems, I was going to go with the Majora's Mask XL, but sold out preorders are pushing me in the MH4 one. I guess it works out because I was planning on downloading MH4 anyway. I haven't had a chance to preorder it quite yet, so I hope that unfortunate circumstances don't occur and make me a liar in the poll.
@burninmylight The Wii U and 3DS versions both have water/swimming. The main things that Wii U have over 3DS in MH3U are better graphics and online play. You can still go online with 3DS, but you need a Wii U app and a Wii Ethernet adaptor to do so (I had the 3DS version before I got a Wii U so this is how I do the online and it works great).
As for downloads, I'm nabbing Pokemon Pinball. Loved it on the GBA, and while I am sad that GBA games aren't being put on 3DS, I'm still getting them on Wii U. It's better than nothing, I suppose.
I'm probably most excited about the Chrono Trigger and Secret of Mana tracks, but I like Bravely Default's soundtrack as well, now I just need to go back to beating it...
I played this game through on PS3 and had an absolute blast, so much so that when I recently obtained a PS4 I double dipped and am playing through it again. I totally recommend this.
I was able to get the Gamecube accessories and my wave 1 amiibo no problem as I had preordered the Limited Edition of Smash, but the two wave 2 amiibo I actually want and have preordered (Capt. Falcon and Luigi) have apparently been indefinitely pushed back and no one at the store I go to knows when they'll be in. My issue is that I've heard they're available elsewhere and I'm afraid I may not get mine.
Wii U: Hyrule Warriors Wii U eShop: Shovel Knight (didn't really play much as far as downloads go on Wii U, so I picked this due to the fun I had on the 3DS version) 3DS: Pokemon ORAS, though this was a tough decision; Smash, Persona Q and Theatrhythm were also all fantastic. 3DS eShop: Shovel Knight GOTY: Pokemon ORAS

It was also released on PS4 and Vita after the buyout, so anything's possible.

Re: Nintendo Download: 19th February (Europe)
I was already on board with Frog's Theme and Vamo'alla Flamenco, but Megalomania? From Live A Live? Excitement cannot be contained well enough.

Re: Link’s Swimming is a Notable Change in The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D
I can get used to it. Besides, I usually get Chateau Romani often once I have access to it, so with infinite magic it won't be a problem.

Fantastic news! I didn't expect more Chrono Trigger, and I'm even more excited now. Keep the hits comin', Squeenix!

Re: Hundreds of Limited Edition Majora's Mask New Nintendo 3DS Systems Continue to Flood Onto eBay
This is the New 3DS I was hoping to have, but I never give in to tomfoolery like this. Oh well, at least the one in getting comes with a game.

Re: Review: Duck Hunt (Wii U eShop / NES)
I'm having fun with it. Also the Wii Remote speaker plays a springy NES Zapper trigger sound. I thought that was a nice touch.

Wait, so if Rare does not own K. Rool and the Kremlings, then how come Nintendo didn't use them for Returns or Tropical Freeze?
