This game is insulting. Yes, you can space your plays but when you want to get Ivysaur, Charmeleon and some other popular 'mon you better have the Goddess of Fortune on your side because even if you played very well the probabilities are slim and not very good even if you pay the expensive Super ball. That's bad, right? Well, the extra stages where Articuno, Moltres, Lucario, Venusaur, Blastoise, Dragonite and the likecan be catched are not only very difficult but incredibly unfair if you get to the point of throwing the ball to the beast.
I would have bought the game for 10€ or even 15€ but there's no way in hell I'm spending a cent in this scam of a game. If this is Nintendo's idea of f2p then we are all screwed.
It's horrible how low are the catching rates for many of the Pokemon. I would have bought it for 30€ and I ain't gonna spend a cent on its hideous microtransactions. They loss.
I voted 1080° because both Mario and F-Zero deserve a big HD screen, Sin & Punishment would be unplayable with New 3DS' C stick and I'm not particularly interested on Snapping Pokemon.
@EllenJMiller That could be pretty cool. I hope Nintendo surprises us this year with a 3DS Metroid, a side-scroller. Prime: Hunters wasn't bad but I prefer a traditional one by a landslide.
I say NO to all except for Kid Icarus, Star Fox and maybe Kirby. All animated.
I can't believe so many people wants a Metroid live-action show after the horrible Samus in Metroid Other M which I'm sure is the way they'd take. That without taking into account how bad it would look without a lot of money. My thoughts on a Zelda show are pretty much the same. It won't be Game of Thrones, at best it'll be Legends of the Seeker.
@andreoni79 If I hadn't already beaten Deadly Creatures on Wii I would certainly buy it with more realistic graphics. Pretty cool game (if someone wants a number: 7/10).
I don't know anything about Legend of Kay but if it turns out good I'll be happy to buy it.
I wasn't sure about the game before the demo. It looked ugly and didn't seem special at all. After playing the demo, I am going to buy it for sure. It's not perfect but it is pretty fun. Good move on Nintendo's part.
ExciteBots, Fire Emblem and Muramasa for me because those are the only ones I don't have besides Mario Strikers and Rhythm Heaven which don't interest me.
The only one I don't have from the list is ExciteBots because it didn't come out in Europe but I'd be happy to get it. From the ones we already know are coming, Kirby is the one I'm getting.
I am offended. Why am I not eligible? I have many games and consoles registered and yet I'm left out. I don't think this is being handled right. Pissing off costumers is not the way to go.
I don't think four hours aren't enough for a $10 game.
What actually strikes is that you highlight the troublesome controls the way you do and yet the game gets a very high grade. Since Mutant Mudds got an even stronger recommendation and I found it just enjoyable I won't buy this one right away when it comes out in Europe (if it does). I'll get it discounted or if user reviews are glowing.
Anyhow, I read all the review and besides what I've outlined I liked it. Good job, although I'd have liked to hear about the music and sound fx (pun intended).
I've never played the old Mega Drive games, just some of the 21st century and I didn't like any of them, including GBA's Rush. I was close to buying Colours and that's probably as close as I'll ever be until they release a truly good game, one with universal acclaim. And that probably will never happen.
The Best Buy WiiU deal is awesome. If that doesn't sell WiiUs nothing will (and sadly it looks to be the case. It's going to end up way below the GC total sales).
Sorry Morgan. I appreciate the effort but the article is too long and too thorough. I don't think it is good to explain every little detail. This is an analysis, not a review. I just couldn't read till the end because of it, it bored me
I'll pass on this game. I'm not a fan of the chibi looks nor the Etrian Odyssey gameplay. I'm very disappointed with Atlus' releases on 3DS, there's no variety. I want something like Radiant Historia or at least different from the first person dungeon crawling.

Re: Feature: Ten Upcoming Nindie eShop Games to Watch on Wii U and 3DS
Heist is my pick. I'll get some of the others but if I had to choose only one I'd stick to the creation of Image & Form.
Re: WayForward to Celebrate 25th Anniversary With eShop Discounts
I might get Shantae, already got both Mighty Switch Force games.

OlliOlli for me. Too bad it isn't cross-save, that would be AWESOME.

Re: 3DS Browser Exploit Hackers Bypass Pokémon Shuffle Microtransactions
@Chaozrush21 I got it on my second try without paying. There are others much harder.
@Kalmaro no you can't.
Re: Woah Dave! Getting Free Deluxe Update On 3DS, Also Coming To Wii U
No love for Europe.
Re: Former Rare Developers Will Show Off Their New Game In March
They've done nothing, why should Nintendo buy them?
People shouldn't let nostalgia blind them, they haven't even showed their first game!
Look at Armature, Batman Origins Blackgate is not a bad game but it is far from the quality of Retro's productions.

Re: Feature: Tales From the Front Line of amiibo Collecting
@PokeMarioR No, I didn't preorder anyone. Now I regret it.
Re: Feature: Tales From the Front Line of amiibo Collecting
I haven't even seen Pit, Cp. Falcon, Little Mac, Meta Knight and Shulk which are the ones I want.
I already got Mario, Samus, Marth, Link, Fox, Donkey Kong, Lucario, Toon Link, Bowser, Estela, Sheik, Ike, Dedede, Mega Man and Sonic.
And I've seen but not bought Wii Fit trainer, Diddy Kong, Pikachu, Peach, Yoshi and Villager.

Re: Nintendo Download: 19th February (Europe)
Kirby for me. It's a pity that there's no discount this time but it's still a good price, I've only seen it at 40€ and above.
Re: Yusuke Hashimoto Outlines His Desire to Continue the Bayonetta Franchise
Please do it.
Re: This Articulated Skyward Sword Link Toy Should be Worth a Lot of Rupees
Looks a bit bad. Even the amiibo is better...
Re: Tomonobu Itagaki Gives an Update on Devil’s Third, Describing it as the "Biggest Game"
I'm in wait-and-see mode. If it is good it still will need a good campaign to convince since I rarely play online or offline multiplayer.
Re: Rumour: A Planned 2.5D Metroid Title For 3DS Got Cancelled in 2012
@EllenJMiller That could be pretty cool.

Re: Renegade Kid Reveals a Snippet of Information on eShop Sales
I just hope they release Xeodrifter in Europe. Although I'm not a big fan of Mutant Mudds I still find it entertaining and worth the price.
Re: Details For The New Langrisser Title On 3DS Emerge After A 15 Year Break For The Series

Re: Review: Gunman Clive 2 (3DS eShop)
I was gonna download it anyway but it's good to see that it's as good as I hoped.
Re: Kirby and the Rainbow Curse Misses Out on Topping Japanese Charts at Launch
I think the touch controls killed it. Both Wii Kirby games sold very well and 3DS' and DS' too except for Canvas Curse. Seems like a trend...
I thought Legend of Legacy would do better, around 100.000. Probably SE thought the same way.
Re: Not Everyone is Thrilled That Metroid Prime Trilogy Lands on the Wii U eShop Tomorrow
I'm glad that a lot of people will be playing these amazing games and just for $10/10€.
Re: Nintendo Download: 29th January (Europe)
Since I already have MP: Trilogy, Gunman Clive 2 is my vote and I will have it beaten before friday
Re: Feature: 20 Wii Games We'd Love To Download From The Wii U eShop - Part Two

From the ones we already know are coming, Kirby is the one I'm getting.
Re: Nintendo Download: 22nd January (North America)
I recommend Punch-Out!! It is great and full of charm.
Re: Retro Studios Launches Twitter Account And Sets Off The Rumour Mill

Re: Feature: The Biggest Wii U Games of 2015
Zelda and Xenoblade for me. And Metroid please, it's about time Nintendo.
Re: Feature: A Year in Development - Image & Form
I'm eager to see what you're doing with Heist. You can count with my money.
Re: Level-5 Confirms Some Handsome 3DS eShop Festive Discounts

Re: Review: Alphadia Genesis (Wii U eShop)
Pier Solar is more appealing to me and I'm not sure if I'll end up buying it so Alphadia will probably never be an option.

Re: Review: Mario Kart Super Circuit (Wii U eShop / Game Boy Advance)
