Sweet! It was obvious people were worried for nothing. After the initial presentation there will be a lot of chatter up until release and hopefully beyond.

I'm looking forward to seeing what happens from here. I love you guys. You make great games.

It's not a bad selection so far. However, it might be just that I am a sucker for Toad.

Not. Worth.
There's no difference in having it, over it not existing at all. It is pointless thanks in part to expiring coins that expire at the same time that the rewards finally switch(it should be a week or two change up). As well as thanks to the fact the rewards just plain Jane suck.
Useless.

Im sure it'll work out for them. Most already know about it. In the age of the internet im sure for at least 24 hours it will be nearly first page news. People will learn about it should they wish.

And I have a ps4 so while I missed the initial backing, I still debated my console of choice.
Now though, I don't even know if I want to loyally support them. The switch release date is up in the air, the Wii u is now flushed down the loo...I just feel really bummed for those that don't have other console options and wanted to play this game as much as I did.

@rjejr
I honestly believe that's why they aren't offering a refund alternative. More people supported it wanting the game on Wii u then on any other platform.
If they offered a refund and most Wii u backers took that route...its a shame because I really liked these guys and they stabbed us in the back with tongue in cheek 'yeah its moving to switch!'
As you said, they were supposed to be working faithfully on the Wii u version. Since there isn't one what have they been doing these past few years?

There is also Ever Oasis. Probably the one game I'm really looking forward to.

The 30th anniversary theme should have only been 30 points. xP

The way I see it Nintendolife reviewed this title the way I wish they reviewed other titles that do things similar to Mario Maker: they judged it separately from the Wii u version for the people who never played the Wii u version. While at the same time letting Wii u owners know what not to expect from this game within the review. So this game is a 9 out of 10 if the Wii u version did not exist or rather have you not played it.
Take that however you want. I have respect for that. Thanks Nintendolife.

If I had more friends this would be cool.

Getting this! This really just made my day. I missed Swapnote and this is right up my alley.

I wish this was a miles edgeworth investigations bundle coming mobile or better yet localization news of the great ace attorney.
But then im only saying this as someone who has and can still play the Apollo justice game.

I need the great ace attorney in my life!!!

@Qun_Mang
Yup, I would say so. I have played the first Yo-Kai Watch, and I can understand why some reviewers would lower the score just for playing it and moving on to the sequel. The beginning does feel like it lags when you already know the ends and outs(plus the memory loss is just...a weird touch I'll admit), but once you get past a few nagging key points for 'beginners' the game shines in a lot of ways. As I said before, for those that never played the first one, starting here should feel fresh and the overall experience should be a rewarding one, especially thanks to a few of the tweaks over the original.

Personally, I probably have 12 hours under my belt.
A few things I love so far:
1. Hovering with the pin tells you what sort of food the Yo-Kai would like to eat. Maybe I accidentally read over that in the review, but that is really helpful since it takes out the guesswork to try and hope for the best.
2. I can have my favorite Yo-Kai follow me instead of Whisper. It's something I wish Pokemon did more often, and I think it's a cool addition to the game.
3. There is plenty to do. From completing side quests or just collecting everything I'm sure I'll be busy with this game for weeks at least.
Overall, I think it's this is a game worth the investment, especially if this would be your first jump into the world of Yo-Kai. Everything will feel fresh and there is plenty to do. Plus, if you happen to fall in love with one of the Yo-Kai he can be there to tag along with you on this lovable little journey. ^^

I was hoping a release date would be included. Ah well, hopefully it still launches in October!!!

I really hope they localize this beautiful gem. The anime coming west gives me hope at least.

Probably sorry for being a sore loser of sorts at the beginning of the video i think. Losing happens. But he brushed off his friends for a while because of his losses (and his friend's gloating I believe). Basically I figure they are both apologizing to each other because one was gloating and the other avoided his friends. The trading of this 'shooting star' helped them make amends.

First day purchase for me.

Its honestly not even that good looking a plush...

That's cool. Hopefully it does mean good things for the developers and companies involved. For now I am enjoying the app a lot. More than I did Miitomo.

How much does it cost exactly? I've been wondering about that.

@Spoony_Tech
The previous games weren't censored. Clothes were left half absent and the gore was definitely a thing as well. It is one of the few games (though this one is 'M' rated) Nintendo didn't find the need to censor and left in as close tact to the originals I believe.

Just for chip and Dale making the cut I'm picking this up.

@bobafett4ever
Well, there is that exclusive new dungeon and weapon too. It might excite the more die-hard Zelda fan along with the amiibo that comes with it. Or maybe they didn't finish it all the way and their old disk is broken from an accident involving their younger sister. At least mine was. Lol But it is a rebooted Zelda game at the core. Its bound to move copies regardless by name alone.
But at least it's not a super deluxe edition releasing one year after the initial one did. I can't really stand those. :/

It's a pity, with all the progress we have in other areas, there is still release date discrepancies. I would have believed in this day and age, that would have been less of an issue than it is.

Not really related to the article, but can I assume Moco Moco Friends was so bad it didn't even warrant a review? xD

Oh, come on NA! This is one of my most anticipated games! Is it not coming out here? I loved the first two so it would be such a shame. ;_;

Well then, at least it'll retain a more natural feel in that case. The original's don't have restore points so it's not as if they are taking away things that were originally included. shrugs In the end, that's fine with me.

In one word: lame. -_-
I could actually care less if we never get this over here in the west.
Use those resources to localize a better game please.

O_O I would love those!! Not for the price, but ahhh, they look so cool!

I loved Boxboy. And I would love to see a sequel. It did play things safe, but it had a simplistic charm I most definitely wouldn't mind trying again. It was fun. Plus, I like what I see a for the sequel lready. lol

How am I supposed to move up in the community when users like that one recreate my level nearly down to the T with slight differences? That's right I won't. If someone did happen to stumble onto mine I'd be labeled the copier or doing something they played before because it feels of so similar. This sort of thing is never fair to the original creator no matter the medium in which it takes place. The love and hard work someone could have potentially put into something, rather large or small, should be treated with at least a little recognition, geez.

Oops, and by same price I mean like buying ORAS at $80, over buying all 3 copies of FE:Fates with the bonus material for $80.

For those complaining about the price. If you ever bought 2 Pokemon games that are pretty much the same except for a few Pokemon here and there then that's being a hypocrite.

I don't condone the price point. I don't see how one could be mad over having more content thrown in claiming it's too casual. But at the very least the routes given are different in each version of the game. Much more so than Pokemon which so many buy both copies to.

Getting 3 games for the same price is better than paying for the same game, no?

Wasn't he a cameo in kingdom hearts chain of memories for the ds back in the day? So it's not like he never touched a nintendo console. But either way cool.

Even $50 would have been a maybe, but that price? I don't think so. I'll admire it from afar.

I agree @thedillon23 completely. Lack of sales until a discount just proves to the localizers that anime based games don't have a place here in America. I'm not a huge fan of the series, but I will buy this game to offer my support. I hate seeing some other anime games miss out on localization, but hey support what they release and hope from the positive they release more here, or forget about it all together and import I suppose. xD

@burninmylight
Ah, I guess that didn't come out quite as I intended. x.x
I'm really not trying to come off as chastising, but I've seen perfectly fun, decent games get passed over because of the overall review score average. Not even super bad scores mind, as I do think some games can be broken and beyond playable live 3s, 4s, and 5s seem to mean, but most times nowadays reviews seem more bias towards popular games. And I say this because in a review for an overhyped game they will say 'it lagged often' but it'll get a 8/9. Different game, more obscure developer and they score a 6/7 and that same issue is it's only flaw. I just don't think an overall buying decision should be based off of reviews. If you want to make sure the game isn't broken ok, but people treat reviews like something holy that should be followed and I think when that happens the community misses out on some great games, even if they aren't perfect A+ titles.

Heck, I'm not saying buy the game blind or anything like that. But as long as it's not broken I do think trying different forms of games is a good thing, not because of some review from a singular person who has their own play style and likes, but because it's a game and that's what they are there for. Gaming should be about fun. Not all, but most developers put their hearts into it.

Again, I wasn't trying to be mean. I love reading reviews, especially from here, and seeing if a game is up my alley. My frustrations come when a game scores lower than a certain number, people choose not to even try it which I think can potentially be a loss, and why so many developers choose to be so repetitive when developing games. They stick with what the people want, and the people say new and upcoming games that don't score an 8 or above go on the very back of their list.

So many people waiting around for reviews. -_- Come on guys, does anyone make their own judgements with games anymore? Or is other peoples opinions the all or nothing to trying a game out for ourselves? What if it does get a bad review? Maybe you'd have liked it but now you won't even give it a chance personally. Just silly.

Meh, the reason 3rd parties do terribly is because they port the wii u version months after initial release. Release a game at the same time, with the same dlc and other goods, and we'll see what happens, but 3rd parties rarely if ever, treat the wii u the same way they do the other platforms. It's not a Nintendo owners fault they don't want to be screwed over by 3rd parties.

Why is everyone making third place sales seem like a bad thing? xD

I don't like it.
I still definitely don't like it. ):

Hmm, since I doubt I'll constantly refresh the page until the if/when of preorders showing up here in America, I'm sure I'll miss out again. It sells out far too fast, but for some who really want to get one for the retail price, maybe that's something they'd be interested in doing. xD

I actually paid a little more for a case on etsy. It's an awesome custom made case, that's perfect for me and my new 3ds xl.
The inside is made of the softest of materials so no scratches, it comes with a strap so you can wear it like a purse if you wish, and it can come designed with either credit card or game pockets(I chose credit card so I can go around without the need of an actual purse when all I need is a light carry).
Overall, a great purchase and I would recommend the buy if you like crafted with love cases, and want something special and unique made just for you for your new 3ds. (:

This game is one of the games I was really hoping would come to America.
This and Kaio: King of Pirates.
No word has thus been mentioned for a long time about it though. ):

This is just...sad. That someone would try to gain a profit on what everyone technically can get for free if they sign up. :/ However, this is exactly why it should have just went straight to the eshop.

So why no screwdriver prepackaged? They could have totally added one.

I think @B3ND3R made a clever suggestion with five monado arts. Xenoblade was a great Nintendo exclusive worthy of a mention on the list!
