@Porky IMO 4th and fifth gen were the least interesting. Second and sixth are my favorites.
Oh, I totally agree with you if you are talking about the anime. That is definitely being milked and needs to either improve greatly or die...Preferably the former. But the games are still great and don't deserve to die. Keep em coming, and make them good is what I say! They will keep making the games as long as people buy them, and as long as they aren't crap I'll buy them.
What's this about taking time to comment? You also commented. Enough of that, we all comment here because we have nothing better to do at the moment. :/
@Fee Nah, those dating sims BORE me. I'm only interested in those if they are funny satire ones, like Hatoful Boyfriend. In that one you date a bunch of pigeons as a human girl. It's really dumb. XD
I much prefer actiony games and sometimes rpgs. Text-based games and sims aren't my style...Even Animal Crossing got boring.
@ (Dang it, who was this reply to? I somehow deleted it and can't find the comment again!) "Strong bodies and powerful" isn't that sexualized to me, though. I don't really consider strong, bulging muscles sexy. Put them in tight, skimpy clothing and put a lot of emphasis on their crotches and butts, and have their clothes rip off in places when they take damage, and bingo. That's what I'd call the equivalent to the Senran Kagura stuff. It'd feel more even/fair if I saw stuff like that, but I only ever see females in these types of games. Guys get all kinds of stuff to gawk at, but there's almost nothing for the ladies. Maybe I should learn all about game making so I can make a game like this. Nah, that'd probably take decades. I want to spend my life on other stuff. Besides, I think I'd rather see more badass female characters in cool heavy armor than hot dudes. Off the top of my head, the only games I remember playing with awesome armor for the females are Monster Hunter games...I could use some more of that. And a skimpy armor costume for the guy characters while we're at it, just to make it more fair. It bothers me how the best armors in Xenoblade Chronicles are huge, hulking armor on the males, but when equipped to the females, the same exact armor pieces cover hardly any of the body and expose cleavage and bellies. I want a giant full-body armor suit on Melia like Reyn has, dang it! You can unequip the armor and have the male characters run around in nothing but shorts, but then they have no defense. No fair.
@Kaze_Memaryu Lol, there are playable guys in SK? I didn't know that. Cool.
Is there a game like this but with hyper-sexualized hot guys instead? I never see games like that, it's always got women. Where are the fanservicey games for us hetero ladies*? I never hear anything about them, so I assume there aren't any...I'm not sure if I would buy one yet(It would have to be a decent game), but the lack of it kind of makes me feel excluded.
Well, I'm reaaally glad I imported them. Knowing my luck, I will end up at work when Palu goes up and I won't be able to camp for Pittoo. But I got them already so I'm good. Good luck, my fellow Kid Icarus fans!
I think the odds are pretty terrible that they'd have Pit or Samus show up in the background somewhere, but I can hope. Mario will surely be there. That's a cameo that MUST happen.
Wasn't he hospitalized recently because of a bile duct problem? Poor guy must have been battling this problem for years. I wonder if the recent fan backlash from the E3 thing worsened it...RIP, big guy.
Who was expecting it to be more powerful, anyway? It's less powerful...So? If I cared about how powerful a console was, I would own a PS4 already and not a Wii U. It's the games I want. (But I WILL get a PS4 eventually for The Last Guardian. Can't wait! ) Besides, the Wii U is powerful enough if it can have giant worlds like the ones in Xenoblade Chronicles X. Will Zelda U be as impressive as that? I have high hopes.
Kid Icarus Uprising's controls were not a problem for me and I got pretty good at controlling Xenoblade Chronicles with Wii Remote and Nunchuk which I'm told is the "vastly inferior" control method, so bring it on. Different controls don't scare me.
Did anyone else find awakening's story really boring? The characters were cool but I couldn't really care much for their quest. Because of that, I'm not going to expect much from this game's story, but I don't want to play it for the story. The way the battles are is awesome, that's why. I hear so many people mention that awakening's battle gameplay was trimmed down and is missing a lot of elements of past games. I wonder what kind of things it is missing, but I'm afraid to even try those games because I hear the difficulty is much harder and you can't turn off permadeath...I'm not even going to get halfway through with permadeath! So why even try...It'd be a waste of money for a game I can't finish. Rather, I hope the new game(s) have some of those past elements in them while keeping the option to turn off permadeath.
Lol, I can get through Pokemon nuzlockes with only losing one or two pokemon for the entire run, but in awakening I could never finish a battle without one of two of my units falling...Poor Frederick went down in nearly every battle after the halfway point.
Why did they not show Devil's Third and Fatal Frame in the E3 Digital Presentation? I think that may have made the fanboy backlash a little less severe...
@bezerker99 Heck no, I want that game, it looks genuinely fun! They had better not cancel it just because people are butthurt that it isn't a Metroid game! D:
@FlaygletheBagel @FlaygletheBagel There are way more games besides those, too. Those are just the really big ones that I am SUPER FREAKIN' hyped for. I'll personally be satiated for a long time with just Xenoblade, honestly. Can't. Freaking. Wait. Bring on December.
I wouldn't say there are hundreds of "great" games. Hundreds, sure. But great? nah.
@ikki5 @S-Miyahon Did you not see the games I mentioned? THOSE are why it gets real! Those are going to be gems! You guys seriously aren't exited for those? For shame! I guess I'll be having a blast playing those while you guys are moping around wondering why you don't have any games to play because you don't like them...
Of course it was too much to hope for a new Kid Icarus.
At the end of it all, I now have a release date for Xenoblade Chronicles X and I am really looking forward to it. I'm happy for that, and the lack of new interesting games did not lessen my Xeno-hype. Bring on December! Heck yeah, Xenoblade!
I wold be thrilled if the next zelda game had an option for your avatar like Pokemon, with a choice between a male and female avatar. The female avatar doesn't need to be Link as a female, she just needs to be a cool hero like him. I'd love that. I want to bash Ganon's face in as a woman.
The Legend of Zelda: Deposit of Passenger is a game about giving people rides and dropping them off at their destination...So, Link is a Taxi Driver this time. A small step down from Train Engineer.
GREAT GAMES:

The Legend of Zelda: The Castanet of Metal

This is why I buy physical whenever possible. I only download digital copies if they are on sale for half off or something like that. I won't pay full price just for a bit of data without a physical copy to own. I like to put them on my bookshelf, as well. Looks awesome.
@BulbasaurusRex "but it crosses the line by including such a vulgar reference while marketing towards children, just as "Conker's Bad Fur Day" and "South Park" do."
Um, I don't think Conker's and South Park were marketed towards children. Those are adult stuff, clear and obvious. And as I said above, do we even know if Yooka-laylee is going to be marketed primarily towards kids? I think they will market mainly towards old grownup Rare fans. The game looks kiddy, but so did Conker...And Conker's not for kids.
Okay, this got a laugh out of me. It's dumb, but funny.
All you guys worried about the obvious risqué joke in a "kid's game"...But is this game actually being marketed towards kids? I thought this was being made with old Rare fans in mind, who are mostly grownups. Next to Conker's Bad Fur Day, this joke is nothing. Would kids even get it? I doubt many would.
That was cute, but some things seem off. This takes place years after the game ends, right? Then...
