Re: Lego Dimensions Will Feature Lord Of The Rings, Batman, Back To The Future And Much More Besides

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.

Re: Rumour: Upcoming Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call DLC Brings More Classic Tracks

@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.

Re: Eiji Aonuma Admits That Remakes Such as Majora's Mask 3D Can Be a Painful Process

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.

Re: Poll: Which New Nintendo 3DS Will You be Buying?

CaptFloofers

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.

Re: Talking Point: Super Smash Bros. and amiibo Have Enjoyed Success, But Nintendo Could Have Done More

CaptFloofers

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.

Long time reader, first time poster.

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
