What an awful character design.

<obvious_joke>Looks better than Sonic '06.</obvious_joke>

A game similar to Catherine and Dragon's Crown... two games that could not be more different...

Time Mage was definitely in need of a makeover.

I've never seen this Diesel clothing line, but I can only imagine something incredibly trashy. Who names their designer label after the gross smelling fuel you put in your dirty work truck?

Is it just me, or did these look better at E3?

That HD Star Fox stage is stunning.

I wish more Japanese companies would realize that they weren't doing themselves any favours by trying to make their long-running series appeal more to Western gamers.

• Resident Evil 6 is the lowest selling numbered RE game ever.
• Final Fantasy has been trending downwards since X, even the HD remaster of X managed to outsell the most recent new FF.
• Ninja Gaiden Z sold hilariously awfully, selling less on PS3 and 360 combined than Razor's Edge sold on Wii U (Epic Un-achievement of 2014 Award, right there).

So I'm not surprised here. The message Bravely Default sends to Japanese publishers should be that "We liked the games you used to make, why did you change them?"

100 million sales in America confirmed.

Kmart still exists?

@TeeJay Not a Gamestop lol. Locally owned place. They give me about $5-15 each for the games I bring in (granted, I bring in games in great condition, with cases and manuals, etc). Bought the Borderlands 2 Vita bundle ($200) there a few months back entirely on store credit.

Yep, sold. Fair price. I'll trade in my physical DS copies for about $20 credit at my local used game shop.

Mashpotato Samurai continues to be full of mystery and intrigue.

I usually interpret these "stability" updates as "someone found an exploit, so we changed a line of code." Good news, I guess. The life of a programmer is thankless.

I must thank SEGA for making me care so little about Sonic that I don't have to worry about spending my money on these.

Lana singing the theme song wins today.

Pretty sure that Trine 2 has been on discount so many times that anyone who was remotely interested in it has already bought it. It may as well be permanently discounted to $8.

Nothing for me again. Think the last week where there was anything at all for me was... Mario Kart 8? Gosh, there's been such a drought, even including indy and VC releases.

I love Koei's designs for Impa and Zelda. I would dare call them just as good or better than Nintendo's own designs.

Sheik's design, on the other hand, is a little weird.

And yeah, like 9-10 for hype. This game is going to be just swell.

Attacking people who illegally download content is not the way to combat piracy anyway. You combat piracy by providing a better service to the widest user base possible at a great price. Netflix and Steam know it. Nintendo needs to hurry up and figure out this whole internet thing.

Wonder if Sheik's male or female character model will be used.

Controlling character movement and camera movement both with my left hand? No thanks...

The giggling at the beginning of all these female character vids ranges from annoying to psychotic.

Doesn't seem like it will upset the market too much. They might sell a few to parents of kids who ask for the Wii U for Christmas, and then parents see this $150 thing sitting on the shelf next to it and get that instead.

@Pillowpants They're all excellent and I recommend them all. Project Zero 2 is on Wii in Europe, but the other Wii game, PZ4, was never officially released outside of Japan.

If you have a PS3 though, you can buy the first three as PS2 classics for cheap.

It probably would have been more accurate to say that Tacticians can't use dark magic. Robin certainly had no trouble at all using it if you changed him into a Sorcerer.

@Ralek85 Commercials are and should be aimed at children and people over 30, because nobody else watches TV. They're especially not watching the children's programming channels that those commercials air on. I've never seen a 2DS commercial because I'm not sitting at home watching cartoons at 4 o' clock in the afternoon.

As for E3, both Bayonetta and Devil's Third got their fair share of the Treehouse focus. Neither felt neglected at all. Neither are 1st party titles, but that doesn't really matter. Neither is Fatal Frame V. However, both Bayonetta and Devil's Third were properties that were dying and Nintendo pumped their OWN money into seeing them realized. They WANT these M-rated games on their machine and they WANT people to know that they exist, and were willing to use money out of their own pockets to see that happen.

And Fatal Frame isn't some dying IP that Nintendo needs to swoop in and save. It's owned by Koei Temco, who have plenty of their own cash and worldwide subsidiaries to do themselves.

@Ralek85 Not quite sure where Assassin's Creed, Ninja Gaiden, Bayonetta, and Devil's Third fit into this "family-friendly" image that you've conjured, but I'd definitely consider Fatal Frame more appropriate for younger players than Resident Evil: Revelations or ZombiU.

Oh god, not Paul WS Anderson. Oh well, there goes the prospect of a good American adaptation.

Absolutely unreal for YW2. For one, it outsold the first game's cumulative total in its first week, and for another, look at that market share! 90% of all software sold this week in Japan was from one game alone! That's an absurdly massive success for Level-5.

"Thank you for buying all those games and getting Platinum! Now here's some choices of games to download that you either already have or don't want."

Seems like standard backpedaling, but that's fine I guess. Still holding out to play some old favorites like Shining Force 2 and Phantasy Star IV on the 'Pad.

It would be interesting to know if Nintendo is closely monitoring the digital sales of the GS games to gauge interest in a sequel.

I hope so. Camelot deserves to be doing more with their time than just Mario Golf and Mario Tennis.

Before my time. I was introduced to gaming in a time when NES was still very popular and the SNES was just breaking into the scene. The N64 was the first system I was actually old enough to ride the hype train from announcement to release though.

Apparently the Sega Genesis and I have birthdays about 6 weeks apart though. Late 1988 for the both of us.

Criticisms for repacks and remasters be damned, I would pre-order a Fatal Frame 1-3 or 1-4 HD collection for Wii U without second thought.

My body needs this to come to NA so bad. I love Fatal Frame.

I somehow don't see it, especially considering how well the PS3 is still selling in most regions. The 360 is dead everywhere except America, but people are still buying PS3s. And they should be. They're cheap now and have a fantastic library.

But the thing is that the number of Nintendo-only console owners is quite small. Most gamers had a Wii to play the Marios and Zeldas and whatnot, alongside their PS3 or 360 for everything else. I don't see that changing majorly this gen. I really don't think there will be many people buying a PS4 that didn't have a PS3 or 360 last gen.

Namco didn't even put Tales of Symphonia Chronicles on Wii U, despite BOTH games in the collection being Nintendo exclusives.

Confirmed for Vita, Dreamcast, and Virtual Boy. No Wii U version.

But yeah, both the 3DS and Wii U Tekken games sold like crap.

Well, I guess that ends the whining from some people that she wouldn't dance.

I don't think that it's fair to say that Nintendo is "getting in on the action" in reference to sexism when both male and female characters were featured in the Fire Emblem DLC pack.

I guess this is good news for the 8 people who bought AeternoBlade through.

@CanisWolfred It's very delightful that Ocarina of Time being preferred over Twilight Princess makes you angry. Warms my cold, icy heart.

But yeah, OoT is a better game. I love saying that.

@Spoony_Tech I honestly can't think of a single thing the Gamecube version of Wind Waker has over the Wii U version.

@TeeJay Vastly improved visuals, second screen with items and maps, 2x sailing speed, Miiverse integration, shorter Triforce quest, etc, etc.

Ocarina of Time is my favorite adventure and the 3DS version improved on the original, so OoT 3D gets my vote. Wind Waker HD was a close second.

On a side note, it probably would have been better to combine originals and remakes. To have LA/LADX, OoT/OoT3D, and WW/WWHD competing with themselves for votes will probably skew the data, especially since all three remakes are superior to the originals and the only reason to vote for the originals would be nostalgia anyway.

My little sister would love this game and it would be fantastic if we could play it together. Hoping for a Western release!

Yeah, I really know nothing at all about this IP, but Level-5 ain't ever done me no wrong, so I may look into it if it comes to the West.

I've brought this up to NoA on my Club Nintendo surveys, but I guess I should be directing comments to SEGA West as well. Would love to play some Genesis games on the U.

EDIT: Holy lag, Batman. Deleted those pesky double, triple, and quadruple posts...

@Jazzer94 @Luigifan141 I'm aware, but they both prefer Melee competitively and it doesn't look like the Wii U version is going to change that.

In other other words, I guess. Didn't figure my comment was ambiguous enough to spark 2 "corrections" in 8 minutes.

In other words, "We're both sticking with Melee."

She's slow and has an incredibly annoying giggle. >_>

nope.gif

Lana is my favorite so far. Fighting by summoning and moving those blocks around looks awesome.

Hmm I just might...

Not anytime soon though. Still recovering from the Great Library Expansion of 2013.
