Gameplay looks great(Looks a lot like Uprising's flying segments! ), but the characters seem boring from what I've seen so far. How's the story? Good? Boring?
@BlueNitrous What? Smash didn't have DLC until Mewtwo showed up a few days ago. And the Mario Kart stuff was long after release, as well. This was extra stuff developed after the games were released, it's not like they were withheld from the final game just to make money.
The Xenoblade extras, on the other hand...If they are available from day one, then they should be in the final game. It's screwy to charge for completed content on day one...
"We hope to do a better job of satisfying these needs in the future with more stock, and, while there are always going to be some times when we can't on certain characters, I suspect that is also part of the appeal."
I actually like it. It looks like the style of an ancient cave-painting or something. Dude, be proud of that that tat! It's how cave-trainers drew charmander.
I stood in line for lucina for two hours at gamestop today, and only one person in line got their preorder in the computer because of the heavy traffic. I had to leave for work after that, so who knows if anyone else got a preorder before everything sold out. I sure didn't get mine. This will undoubtedly happen again. I am just going to save money and import Palutena and Dark Pit. Screw this.
I knew there were AC cards coming! I started making some tiny figures with bases, in the hopes of getting the nfc things from the cards to put in the bases to make little custom amiibo figures. Lolly and Hamphrey are first up.
As long as they are cheap(because they look cheap) I'd buy three to put my Kid Icarus character amiibos in. But seriously, those better be like two bucks or less. They are simple plastic boxes. I don't want to see those being sold for ten bucks a piece.
Well, I could probably just build a simple glass-front box to put them in once I get Dark Pit and Palutena...Come to think of it, Pit is getting dusty on my bookshelf as I type this.
I might have demanded this be distributed in the states, But I have my shiny baby char that I hatched from an egg with flawless stats. Even a year later I'm so stoped that I hatched that beauty.
Shiny megazard Y is seriously my favorite shiny. Everyone should have one! So bring it to the states anyway and elsewhere, too!
Please, Nintendo, give me that NFC reader! My Pit and Samus Amiibos need to be trained! Well, mostly I just want to nickname them already. Pitato and Slamus. Heh.
Maybe there will be a Nintendo Direct soon to announce the NFC device, among other things?
Hopefully they re-release it on the Wii U eshop so more people can play it. I think a lot of people are going to miss out on Xenoblade a second time because they don't want to buy another 3DS.
I let my nephew play it last night, and he already loves it. The xenofanbase grows!
@Boidoh Do non-North American games come with registration codes? If they do, I was unaware of this. And that doesn't really make sense if they don't even have access to CN. That's weird.
@NebulaGamer Yes, people take the time to draw/paint/create those images. Why shouldn't we copyright them? It's lame that people seem to think an artist's work is free game on the internet...In this case it's a simple drawing, but still. That's someone's work, and they copyrighted it, and it was used for monetary gain without their permission.
I hope they have more Lucinas in April as well, because I want her for CN Steam and i'm having doubts that I will be able to snag a preorder...I haven't heard anything about it in a while and it might go up when I'm at work, then sell out in hours.
None of the rewards listed in this article are particularly interesting to me. Except maybe the MK soundtrack. On the actual website they have a Link Between Worlds Soundtrack, I'd love that!
They need to make some more interesting game features with them. So far the only interesting one is the Smash Bros feature, and maybe Code Name Steam if I understand that one correctly. What else is there, random powerups and costumes? I wouldn't exactly buy an amiibo for that. I'm sure they have some neat plans, though. I am fully expecting an amiibo Pokemon card game.
@C-Olimar And those Uprising ar cards weren't even available for purchase here in the states. They got fazed out before they even became available! Hopefully they don't do this with the amiibo cards and figures.
I want to collect those ar cards but I am stuck with an overpriced card on ebay every so often...Come on Nintendo, just make your stuff available! T_T
Okay, THAT is freakin' awesome and might have made me consider getting a New 3DS if they were available here. A red faceplate with the Monado...Simply beautiful. But it's not gonna be available here, so...Meh.
@NintyMan I wonder if my Pit preorder from Best Buy that got canceled last year due to no stock reaching the store is sitting out there somewhere on a ship. That would explain that.
There wasn't an actual preorder bonus for MM in the states, unless you count the limited edition bundle with Skull Kid as a preorder. It wasn't supposed to be a preorder, though. I guess it became one because it sold out in hours...
@shigulicious But you can surely draw flies, easy as 1-2-3. Just don't bathe and rub all kinds of greasy foodstuff all over you. You'll be drawing flies easily!

Re: World of Nintendo 8-Bit Plushes Available from July
@miiandmario You're a huge Kid Icarus?
And yes, yes it would.
Re: World of Nintendo 8-Bit Plushes Available from July
I would buy an 8-bit Pit, but they won't make one, will they?
Re: Gallery: Feast Your Eyeballs on These Xenoblade Chronicles X Wallpapers
@Grumblevolcano Yes, I saw that article the other day. What about it?

Re: The Mechs of Xenoblade Chronicles X Are Named "Skells" in its Western Release
Because "doll" is way too childish for us "mature" gamers, amirite? We don't play with dolls! Haha. Ha. Ha. Childish. (Hugs amiibos and figmas)

So the rare characters will stay rare? :/
Re: Famitsu Unleashes Xenoblade Chronicles X Score
I have a hard time believing that they've had enough time already for four reviewers to fully experience a 300-hour-ish game to give a fair review.

Re: Clear Display Cases Show Off amiibo in Style
A funny thing is that my Pit amiibo is a small, light little guy, but his bow makes him the tallest amiibo(I think) so he'd need a large case.
Re: Gallery: Gaze Upon Fire Emblem Cipher, the New Card Game Unlikely to Escape Japan
Lovely art, would collect.
Re: New Fire Emblem on 3DS Takes Shape as Two Separate Releases in Japan
Jeez, I was looking forward to getting this, but I think I'll pass now. I don't want to pay $80 for the full game.

(Slams button for Kid Icarus: Uprising) Why is it only at 5%? How dare you all have different opinions! D:<
Really though, that's my favorite game, period.

@Boidoh How do you expect them to get a code if they have no access to club Nintendo?
Re: Game Freak’s Director Explains Why TEMBO THE BADASS ELEPHANT Isn’t Coming to Nintendo's Digital Platforms
I think that's a lame excuse. However, the awesomeness of playing as a rampaging war elephant aside, the game doesn't look very interesting...
Re: Freedom Planet Bringing Its Brand of Sonic-Style Action to Wii U
Looks good. I'll check it out.
People are saying that the voice acting is terrible, but it's not so bad, I think. It just sounds like your typical cheesy anime dialogue to me.

Re: New amiibo Stock for Villager, Captain Falcon and Little Mac Heading to Japan in May
@AugustusOxy They don't do that in Japan? Aren't they all about expensive big-name brands and such?
Re: New amiibo Stock for Villager, Captain Falcon and Little Mac Heading to Japan in May
Send some more Macs my way, please. I kind of want one.
Re: More Marth amiibo Stock Heading to North America in Late April
I hope they have more Lucinas in April as well, because I want her for CN Steam and i'm having doubts that I will be able to snag a preorder...I haven't heard anything about it in a while and it might go up when I'm at work, then sell out in hours.
Re: Viewtiful Joe Figure is Ready for His Close-up
If they make an Amaterasu figure I will flip out. And then probably cry when I can't afford it.
Re: Video: This Unlockable Character in Hyrule Warriors Shouldn't Be Missed
Okay, now I actually want this game. But, 60 bucks just to play as a cucco...I dunno.

Re: Clive 'N' Wrench Aims to Bring Back Those Rare 3D Platforming Memories on Wii U
@Mega719 Haha, well, at least they've improved. I hope they keep polishing it because it is still a tad creepy...
Re: Clive 'N' Wrench Aims to Bring Back Those Rare 3D Platforming Memories on Wii U
I want to be interested but something about the characters and art style is REALLY offputting...
Re: We're Really Feeling It With These Xenoblade Chronicles 3D New Nintendo 3DS Cover Plates

Re: Card Format amiibo Confirmed to be Heading our Way This Year
Hopefully there are reprints for Pit and Marth. I need, like, fifteen more pits, please. And Marth for Codename Steam.
I'll take the cards too, please. Make the cards cost a lot less. It would be sad if they outright replaced the figures with cards, though.
