I would love to have Scizor and Darkrai in the Wii U version! It would probably get me back into the game. Also, Pokemon GO has gotten me in the mood to play again.
Seeing new amiibo announced is always bittersweet. I love collecting them because they look really cool, especially these ones, but my wallet hates me...
I bought this game the day it came out and played it for a couple hours, then haven't touched it since. It's not a terrible game but I just got distracted with other games. Maybe this will give me the motivation to play again.
I actually like all of these designs, but my favourites are Cutiefly and Tapukoko. The types of the pokemon seem good too.
I don't care how bad Cutiefly's stats are or if it evolves into some super powerful pokemon, I'm going to get one as a main member of my party and keep it as it is.
I can understand when people are upset about content being changed that affects the gameplay, but it baffles me that so many people are upset about the very slight changes they made to the cutscenes. When it goes to that extent, it seems like just a group of teenage boys who were embarrassed to buy a game which focuses on pop idol girls but are trying to justify buying it because of boobs. I watched a video displaying the changes they made in the "Feel" cutscene and I honestly didn't notice a difference the first time I watched it, but 95% of the people commenting on the video were outraged by the censorship of it, saying that there's nothing left to enjoy in the game.
When it comes to content being changed, I personally just try to avoid reading about what was changed so I can enjoy the game for what it is and not have any biases going into it.
Already have it pre-ordered! Virtue's Last Reward was definitely the best in the series so far. It'll be pretty tough to live up to the expectations of that game. Based on the trailers, it seems the voice acting isn't quite up to par with Virtue's Last Reward, but it still seems pretty good. Cindy Robinson did such an amazing job at Zero Jr., it's almost impossible to beat that.
I didn't know about her until yesterday, but it made me very sad to hear what happened. I'm not trying to say this out of disrespect, because I do think it would be a nice gesture for her name to be in the game, but there have been plenty of huge Zelda fans that were murdered in the past, the only difference is they weren't celeberties. Just because this person is well known and has the fan base to make this a big petition, that doesn't mean she's more deserving than anyone else. There could have been a huge Zelda fan in the Orlando shooting as well, and their situation would be no different. Nintendo can't be selective and choose one girl to put in their game because they're famous.
@yokokazuo Yeah that's one thing that sometimes frustrates me with Nintendolife. Usually when they say North America, they're solely talking about the US. They should realize that they have plenty of readers who live in North America but aren't from the US.
Always glad to hear about more amiibo functionality so that I can get some more use out of my amiibo. Now if only there was an Animal Crossing Warriors game so I could get some use out of my Animal Crossing amiibo...
This is a really cool addition to have, and I'm really looking forward to seeing it's moveset. However, I feel like the addition of another ghost type Pokemon lowers the chances that my favorite Pokemon, Sableye, will be added to the roster. His chances have been pretty low from the beginning, but I've still kept my fingers crossed.
This seems like a great lineup to me! Zelda U is my most anticipated game by far, but I'm still looking forward to others as well, like SMT X FE because I love Persona games. Not sure why some people are still saying Zelda U won't be coming to the Wii U. There's no question about it, it will come to the Wii U even if it ends up being a dual release.
This lineup is also much better than the current 3DS lineup in my opinion. The only 3DS game I'm looking forward to so far is Fire Emblem Fates, and I might get Hyrule Warriors Legends if that ends up being the only way to get the new content on the Wii U version.
However, Nintendo did say that the games they announce at E3 are now going to be announced much closer to their release date, so we should be getting more games announced for both platforms this year, as well as mobile. Most likely one of them will be an official announcement of the new Pikmin game.
@MrGuinea The toolbox really wouldn't cause any more clicks. There will most likely be a way to quick equip tools, like how you can press left or right on the D-Pad to switch tools in New Leaf, meaning you don't even have to access the inventory at all anyway. The only annoying part about tools is how much space they take up in the inventory. A space on the side could be a good idea, but it might take up too much of the screen. Besides, If they were to add more slots like that, I would rather just have a larger general inventory. Making it specific to tools would be a bit pointless.
This is so amazing! A lot of work must have gone into making this video, and all of the details they added were both creative and very plausible. It's too bad our chances of an actual Animal Crossing on the Wii U is pretty slim now with the NX coming out soon, but if what Nintendo said was true about making games for the Wii U along side the NX (since it's supposedly on it's own tier), there's still a chance we could get something like this.
@hypercoyote The main selling point is the custom USB itself and not the songs on it. If you wanted to you could just download the rest of the soundtrack and put it on the USB.
I'll just order it from amazon.com and pay the extra shipping. Not missing out on this item in case it sells out quickly and I'm not around when it becomes available on amazon.ca.
Does this include Canada or is it just for the US? Not seeing it on amazon.ca. I would really love to get this, but if this turns out to be like the Majora's Mask 3D special edition, I would like to get my order in sooner than later.
@sinalefa I'm fairly certain they're just talking about the Aerospray RG. It's really not much of a secret, I see a lot of high level players using it, and they usually get a lot of points and kills in turf wars while using it. I still prefer rollers, personally.
Still dodging saw blades even in smash. I'm a fan of Super Meat Boy, but I can't say I would ever want to vote for him to be in Smash. Awesome photo though.
Well that's disappointing. Shulk was the only amiibo I really wanted. I guess there's still some hope that the amiibo will be a pre-order bonus with the 3DS version of Xenoblade.
Ordered mine. Would have liked Robin's and Shulk's posters, but these ones are still pretty nice. I figure I might as well get these, because a new product probably won't come in for about another year.
@Nintendian It varies depending on what type of item they mail. The packaging is just there to protect the item anyway, so I don't see why it matters. I really don't understand the point you're trying to make. If you mean to say you're disappointed because your packaging didn't have an official logo on it, there is usually one on the product itself. Although I don't know what that has to do with what I said. You said that you want digital rewards, and I was just giving my opinion on why I think physical rewards are better.
@Nintendian In my opinion, I would prefer physical items to eShop games any day. If I can afford the games to collect the amount of coins I have in my account, I can afford a $3-8 dollar eShop game. I would rather have official Nintendo merchandise that can't be purchased at normal retail shops. Even if some of the stuff seems tacky, they're collectibles, which any collector would prefer to digital downloads.
The NA Club Nintendo has been reduced to 4 physical rewards. We rarely get any new rewards, but when we do, they go out of stock within a couple hours and usually never come back.

Re: The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition Available For Free Right Now in North America
@SkywardCrowbar You got to keep it forever the first time it was free so I would assume it's the same this time around.
I already picked it up the first time it was free, but this is a great opportunity for the people who didn't earlier.
