I truly cannot believe we are in the timeline where a Fantasy Life sequel is happening. This is sincerely a dream come true

I was reminiscing yesterday about how its a bummer that Level-5 hasn't released much in the past few years. I take it back, if this is what they have become they're better off releasing nothing. I love Fantasy Life, Professor Layton, Yo-Kai Watch and Ni no Kuni with all of my heart, but this is downright depressing

@Jumping_Dead That's totally alright! It's definitely not for everyone. I just think there are too many people who assume it is a personal attack on the player, which based on everything else the narrative does...just doesn't seem accurate. In a MyNavi interview Kodaka said that the team knew it would be controversial, and maybe even disappointing for some! It wouldn't make sense to insult your own fanbase. I think they just wanted to shock people and start a conversation, and welp, it most certainly did that!

Please excuse the incoming essay, but Danganronpa V3 is genuinely one of my favourite stories of all time. It is a truly unforgettable experience and I think it might have one of the most misunderstood endings in all of gaming. If you take it at face value you will undoubtedly find it frustrating and maybe even insulting, but I have to be honest, it really does take some narratological analysis to fully embrace. Once you do start to piece everything together though, it feels ingenious. V3 is a game that commits to its overarching themes, and the final class trial is the moment that ties everything together. There are so many events throughout the game that I just found...odd in my first playthrough (ESPECIALLY the opening prologue). There is a surreal and uneasy atmosphere throughout the entire game that is hard to explain, but I genuinely believe this approach was intentional. The inconsistencies of each chapter start to make sense within the context of the ending, and I think it's a sign of the writers wanting to push boundaries. Some might call it an excuse for poor writing, but eh...I don't know. It might be imperfect, but I love the fact that it does so many things to set itself apart form the previous installments. Even when you think it's going down a familiar path, it goes and throws in a twist that you never would have seen coming. The truth and lies theme is deep-rooted throughout the entire game, without the bizarre and existential ending it just would not make sense. A game as ambitious as V3 deserved a crazy twist, and I think it would have been disappointing otherwise. Again, it's not perfect and I totally get if you don't personally like it, but I do believe it is misunderstood. If you haven't played V3, go in blind and with an open mind! I adore it as both a game and a story, I can't recommend it enough.

I've been playing WarioWare Gold all weekend long, and overall it is an extremely good title with a shocking amount of content and replay value. I know a lot of people are saying they’re going to skip this game because it’s not on the switch, but WarioWare Gold was tailor made for the 3DS, and ignoring it just for this fact alone is doing the title a huge disservice. It is clear that a huge amount of love and care was put into the making of this game. It is a love letter to the WarioWare series, and a perfect entry point for newcomers. Please, for the love of god do not overlook this game!!!

YES YES FINALLY! I've always wanted to play a Taiko: Drum Master game, and this is my chance! I cannot wait for this to come out!

Every time someone calls Nintendogs "Nintendo Dogs" I lose a bit of my will to live

The fact that Ever Oasis didn't even make the top five 3DS games is appalling to me. A truly overlooked gem.

Not only is Ever Oasis amazing, but it also has amazing potential. It's such a terrible shame not more people played it, it's a really fun experience! I would LOVE to see a sequel some day, I can dream can't I?

Pocket Camp looks okay, but I'm not losing my mind over it or anything. It seems like a bit of fun, but I don't really know how long it will captivate me for. Guess we'll have to see next month.

@Kalmaro I don't judge the Wii U off of how well it preformed or how many people knew what it was, I judge it off of the games it has and the enjoyment I got out of it. It's why I adore my Wii U, the other problems it had are irrelevant to me.

@Kalmaro That's another good one! But seriously I don't understand how most people still find that joke funny, the Wii U isn't even a bad console. Yeah I know the Wii U "failed" but constantly making fun of it feels like rubbing salt into a wound.

@Kalmaro wow haha good joke
never heard it before in my life

OH PLEASE OH PLEASE DO! I love Samba de Amigo on the Wii, I really really love it. With the HD Rumble and enhanced motion controls of the joycons IT'S A NO BRAINER! PLEASE MAKE IT HAPPEN SEGA!!!

It's not a deal breaker, but I really do love the 3D. Sure I don't use it terribly often, but from time to time I'll turn it on for fun. I feel like people are too harsh on it, it was what convinced me to purchase a 3DS back in the day. Sometimes I forget how truly impressive it is, it's extremely gratifying to see the depth through 3D. It's like a tiny world you can reach out and touch, I love it!

This looks super cute and I really want to play it, but I gotta get my hands on the other Professor Layton games first. This isn't going to be easy...

Over six years later and I still completely disagree with this review, I absolutely ADORE Go Vacation. I can understand that on the surface it may look like a bare bones title, but in reality it's a super relaxing and enjoyable experience. It's worth a shot, it's so much fun exploring the resorts by yourself or with friends/family, and there's so much content here that it's almost a must have for the Wii. I like it that much.

This makes me INSANELY happy. Rhythm Heaven has literally been my favourite Nintendo franchise since the DS title released, I love this series to death.

I was actually really excited until I read "With a download code inside!". That's...super lame, what's the point?

@Kienda Exactly. This is why I don't like it when people say the Wii U is "dead". A console is never truly dead as long as people are playing it.

Oh my god this actually makes me super sad, I love miiverse and I don't want to see it go. I really really hope that Nintendo at least archives the posts so they still show up in games that use them. I like the sense of community in games like Splatoon and Wind Waker HD, and Super Mario Maker seriously utilized them. All I want is for them to archive it all rather than just wiping it from existence, I've made a lot of fond gaming memories on there and I don't want to see them disappear.

I've been extremely excited for this game since its announcement! It looks like Fantasy Life which is another really fun 3DS title, so I'm definitely going to be picking this one up.

I am so excited for this game, I've been hyped since its announcement! It kind of reminds me of Fantasy Life (which is a game that I absolutely adore).

Since day one I've said I don't want any ports. I simply want new games, not ones that I already own on the Wii U. Making all sorts of definitive versions of games that loyal Nintendo fans bought on the Wii U is kind of scummy imo.

It saddens me to see that the Mii's are suddenly no longer as big of a part of Nintendo as they once were. I love these characters, they just have so much charm ya know?

I feel as though a lot of games simply wouldn't feel the same without Miiverse on the Switch. I would greatly miss going online to post my adventures on there every now and then. I know it sounds silly, but for me It's kind of a little a small archive to save my memories playing Nintendo games. One game that really stands out in my mind is Splatoon...I dunno. I guess you just don't know what you have until it's gone.

The game looks fun but I'd much rather pay for the whole game rather than have to pay micro-transactions to actually get good units -.-

I love the modern Fire Emblem games, I'm sold already. Buying this as soon as it comes out!

When they first showed the trailer for Fire Emblem Warriors I was super excited...but for the wrong reasons. I thought it was going to be a new console installment in the series, but it ended up being another Dynasty Warriors game. I'm personally not excited for it. I played Hyrule Warriors and it was okay, but I never really got into it. Hopefully they announce a more traditional Fire Emblem game in the direct. My fingers are crossed.

It's upsetting that it seems like Nintendo doesn't even have plans to make a replacement for Miiverse. I really like it as silly as it may seem. There are some times that the community has genuinely helped me out with a game, and I've made some super cool friends on there. I'm hoping there might be some sort of place to upload the pictures and footage they were talking about in the presentation, but sadly they probably won't.

This entirely depends on the price, quality of service, and incentives. So far I simply know too little to say whether or not I think this is good or bad. This could be a nice step forward if it's priced reasonably and works extremely well...but only time will tell.

I'm not really that hyped to be honest, it's just too soon. They haven't even announced any exclusives for it yet, how am I supposed to be excited for a console that doesn't have any games I want to play?

I just want new games please. I already own all these games on Wii U, therefore there is no reason for me to want to buy a Nintendo Switch yet.

I pretty much have all these games already. At the very very least, more home menu themes and free games (like Zelda Picross) would be appreciated. I got Metroid Fusion for free when the service first started, so I had high hopes. Unfortunately now there are no offers like that at all.

This was a very disappointing direct for me. Pokemon Sun and Moon looks great, but we've already seen a lot of it. Ever Oasis also looks fantastic but AGAIN we've already seen it at E3. Everything else was either Wii U ports (which is a huge stab in the back for Wii U owners), or eShop games that were quickly skimmed over. I really would have liked to see some more Tank Troopers to be honest.

I have high hopes for this game, it has lots of potential! Hopefully it turns out to be a super fun online title. Unfortunately from what I've seen the stages looks pretty bland and boring.

I'm actually super hyped for this game! I did really like Sticker Star...so that probably has something to do with it, but I think it'll be even better than that game! Color Splash looks like it won't be like the Thousand-Year Door, which is very saddening. However, what we ARE getting looks pretty good as well! The Rescue V trailers are very funny, the graphics are very pretty, and it all around looks like an enjoyable experience! The battle system may look disappointing, but regardless I bet this will be a solid Paper Mario game.

Is there going to be a review of this game? It seems like the media doesn't really care about Rhythm Heaven Megamix.

SO HAPPY THAT RHYTHM HEAVEN MEGAMIX IS OUT RIGHT NOW!

This announcement literally made my day. I'm so excited!

FINALLY! Rhythm Heaven Megamix has been finally announced!

Rest in peace Satoru Iwata. Thank you for everything. You will be missed.

Hopefully this game will be released worldwide in the future! The Rhythm Heaven series is awesome!

It's of course got to be Super Mario Bros. 3!

Cuteness overload ACTIVATE!

Yes! Finally! I've been waiting forever!

Awesome! I just got mine!

Great review! I seriously can not wait any longer for this game!

This is insanity. I would have never imagined something like this coming to Wii U.

I would still rather have a new HarmoKnight game, but this will do I suppose!
