This is freaking awesome to me. Look at platinum points:
35 daily/245 weekly from Miitomo (easy if we all work together) + 60 weekly from Miiverse/eShop
So 305 weekly or 1220 monthly. That's pretty great and will easily earn you rewards. That being said, I'm not too interested in what's on offer for platinum points, but it may change when this hits NA. I'm not buying a thing till it launches, so hopefully it's out before Hyrule Warriors Legends!
I'm pretty excited for Mutant Mudds but I'm not buying a thing from the eShop until MyNintendo launches, since we now know that purchases won't be counted retroactively.
Man, I can wait on Mudds but I hope it's out by next Friday. I don't want to wait too long for Hyrule Warriors...
The 3DS selection isn't so great but the Wii U selection is freaking amazing. However, if they're really dropping Mario 3D World down then the Wii U is definitely getting knocked off this year or early next year, unfortunately. Isn't NES Remix Pack already $30 in America? I would guess that they'll go down to $20 for the almighty US buck.
I've always thought a Nintendoland 2 where scanning different figures unlocks different attractions would be pretty swell. Especially if they all had stamps and crowns and whatnot.
For instance, scanning any Mario-related amiibo could get Mario Chase (again just as an example) and then further amiibos could unlock new costumes like Luigi or DK. I dunno, that's just my thought.
No doubt in my mind that it's the announcement. Keep in mind just who teased it!
That said, the higher price is stupid but it does come with those free packs so I guess it's worth it if you wanted those. I won't be buying, since it's not like the collaboration will be anything that can't be done on PC with mods.
So for those who've played, how does the class system work? Is it like, each as a leveling system where you can get whatever skills, then switch to another class and use the same skills? I hope it's like that, just as DQ9 was. It was a lot of fun leveling each class.
Yeah, this is pretty lame but I figure that the Direct will have some surprises. I mean, Minecraft is likely coming out. Hopefully they throw some surprise VC or first party eShop titles too. I'd love SNES Remix for sure.
I've seen a handful of reputable analysts warn us that it likely won't be anything with a major IP. My personal guess is that it'll be that Mii app that was mentioned last year but heavily upgraded. Or maybe it'll be Nintendogs? Hopefully we'll know soon.
Although none of the games released are interesting to me, I still am thrilled to see so many VC games in one week. I wish NoA would do this as it's been one game a week or most of the Wii U's lifespan.
Can't wait for this to come out! I played it when the Nindies@Home program first began and it was my favorite of the bunch. I'm really hoping that it delivers (not that it matters, I'll likely buy anyway, lol) because this could easily be my indie game of the year.
There an error in this. The AA series is based on the original trilogy, which is why they show Phoenix, Maya, and Edgeworth, all with their old designs.
The original trilogy is honestly my favorite series of all games, but man...I HATED Dual Destinies. I hope that this doesn't do the same stuff that I disliked.
I also hope that Maya comes around. I'd like to see what she's up to as the Master. Maybe we could even see Gumshoe? Probably not.
You guys have got to understand, every single Direct since it was first announced, I've been wanting N64 VC. And finally, it came! Along with DS and also some new Streetpass games. Solid Direct for me.
THIS WAS MY MOST WANTED ANNOUNCEMENT FOR SO LONG!!!!! OH man, can't wait to play DK64, MKDS, SM64, Paper Mario, and hopefully even more like the DS Kirbies, Star Fox 64, and Diddy Kong Racing. Thank you Iwata!
Hopefully Collectable Badge Center and N64 VC. I can see Animal Crossing being revealed, but something like Paper Mario or Metroid would probably need to be an E3 reveal. After all, if it's not coming until Winter then it doesn't really matter if we don't know about it for a couple more months!
I'm also hoping to see something about a new Wii U update or Miiverse update. Feels like it's been quite awhile since we got a Wii U update and Miiverse has mostly just been messing with the activity feed.
My ultimate hope is probably N64 or DS VC but man...news on some more New 3DS exlusives, probably remakes, would be great.
I like it. It's a fun little time-waster and I enjoy being able to play what I call the "Monster Manor puzzles" at any time. I do wish that the game focused a bit more on the "special" puzzles though.
What do people not like about the music? That's one complaint I don't get. Well, let me rephrase that. I certainly get not liking that there's only one song that loops the whole game, but hey, at least it's pretty catchy right? It's a good song.
Can't wait! My current goal is to finish up Hyrule Warriors 100% (I'm so close now....it feels like it anyway) and then this game will dominate my time. Hopefully HW is done before the release though!
I won't buy anything new for awhile (unless MMBN3 or Zero 2 comes out in NA or we get a surprise during a Direct or or or) but I guess this should be on the top of my list. I still have to finish up Hyrule Warriors though! Three maps down, and the Majora one is coming along nicely. Then Xenoblade will release, and once again I'll be consumed.
So it seems like Europe is getting MMZ while NA gets MMBN. I'm perfectly fine with that, but man, I sure hope we get 3 soon. I feel kind of like they're holding off for another Mega May.
I honestly think Nintendo could make some neat iPhone-focused games. Pokemon Shuffle would be at home there, and they could totally do a simplistic Kirby Canvas Curse sort of thing there. Even a Mario endless runner/platformer or a few VC games would work fine.
Whatever they make needs to also be available for the same price on their systems, but I think that they could make a few cool smartphone games...just not with their main dev teams or game ideas.
I was really worried that Sonic Advance wouldn't come with Sega's past statement, so I am insanely excited to play it. America pls! Europe pls! Sonic advance 2 pls!
I am a happy sponge. I've been waiting on Game and Watch Gallery 3 for months since it was given a rating classification, and of course the MM DLC will rock. What a good week!

Re: The My Nintendo Rewards 'Missions' Show What's Needed to Earn Freebies and Discounts
This is awesome, I hope that all of their mobile games have the MyNintendo rewards integrated in. Hopefully NX does it as well!

Re: Five Wii U Releases Confirmed for Nintendo Selects Range in Europe
Dang, I'd download NSMBU and Lego City for that price without a second thought. I hope a second wave hits NA before too terribly long.
Re: Rumour: Monster Hunter Trademark Points to Potential Nintendo Direct Reveal
I guess it's time to finish up my awards in MH4U lol. Hopefully this is a very close release but we'll see tomorrow!
Re: Review: Project X Zone 2 (3DS)
Might buy this just for Phoenix Wright lol. Do he and Maya get some shining moments in this?
Re: New North American Nintendo Selects Range Emerges in Retailer Listings
The 3DS selection isn't so great but the Wii U selection is freaking amazing.

Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Can Exploit Its Rich History With More Remasters
Remastered games can be great, but simple VC is much quicker and I sure hope that they keep doing it for NX and beyond.
Unrelated, but do you guys plan on doing the "last year in retrospect" features where each day covers a quarter of the year?
Re: Nintendo Download: 24th December (North America)
Wow, aside from SMG, this is pretty disappointing. I was hoping for some Nintendo sales or at least some VC stuff.
Ah well, I'll probably buy SMG and be done with Christmas sales for the year.

Re: The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks Are Available Now on the Wii U eShop in Europe
I'd be all for it if they were in NA!

Re: Nintendo Download: 12th November (North America)
Yeah, this is pretty lame but I figure that the Direct will have some surprises. I mean, Minecraft is likely coming out. Hopefully they throw some surprise VC or first party eShop titles too. I'd love SNES Remix for sure.
Re: Talking Point: Deep Breaths Are Needed as Highly Anticipated Nintendo Direct is Confirmed
I'm really hoping for some Hyrule Warriors Legends info and maybe some special VC titles. Anything beyond that is just icing on the cake.
Re: Review: Harvest Moon: More Friends of Mineral Town (Wii U eShop / GBA)
"Seven rings in hand" is a line that makes me want to bust out Sonic and the Secret Rings, haha.
Re: The Next Nintendo Direct is on 12th November
HE'S FINALLY BACK
TO KICK SOME TAIL
Seriously though, can't wait. Here's hoping for a new HWL character and maybe a new eShop game like Rusty's RDB 2 or SNES Remix.
Re: Feature: A Pokémon Retrospective: Generation 3 - 2002 to 2006
No one else has mentioned that typo? When talking about the change in EVs and IVs you refer to EVs as "effort Pokemon" at one point.

Stinger is for the Wii U VC, not 3DS VC.
Also I'm pretty let down that MMBN5 didn't make it over here since its out in Japan and coming to EU this week.
Re: Nintendo and DeNA Smart Device Game Details Coming on 29th October, With Investors Demanding Specifics
I've seen a handful of reputable analysts warn us that it likely won't be anything with a major IP. My personal guess is that it'll be that Mii app that was mentioned last year but heavily upgraded. Or maybe it'll be Nintendogs? Hopefully we'll know soon.
Re: Nintendo Download: 8th October (Europe)
Although none of the games released are interesting to me, I still am thrilled to see so many VC games in one week. I wish NoA would do this as it's been one game a week or most of the Wii U's lifespan.
Re: Rumour: Nintendo and DeNA Will Be Revealing the First Smart Device Software Soon
I think it'd be crazy to release something that's not Mario. Everyone knows Mario, his name would be recognizable by 90% of mobile users, if not more.
Source: none tbh
Re: Review: Extreme Exorcism (Wii U eShop)
Man, I'm thrilled to hear that this lives up to the hype. Can't wait for release day tomorrow!
Re: Extreme Exorcism
Can't wait for this to come out! I played it when the Nindies@Home program first began and it was my favorite of the bunch. I'm really hoping that it delivers (not that it matters, I'll likely buy anyway, lol) because this could easily be my indie game of the year.
Re: Nintendo Download: 24th September (Europe)
Wow, 40 comments and no mention of Extreme Excorcism? I've been hyped for that since the Nindie preview, it was easily my favorite of the bunch.
Re: Capcom Announces Anime Adaptations Of Monster Hunter Stories And Ace AttorneyÂ
There an error in this. The AA series is based on the original trilogy, which is why they show Phoenix, Maya, and Edgeworth, all with their old designs.
Re: Video: Even Reggie Is Crazy About Runbow
I guess it's time for me to step up and make a gif of the "Reggie-lution" bit.
Re: Gallery: Phoenix Wright is Looking Sharp in These Ace Attorney 6 Screens
The original trilogy is honestly my favorite series of all games, but man...I HATED Dual Destinies. I hope that this doesn't do the same stuff that I disliked.
I also hope that Maya comes around. I'd like to see what she's up to as the Master. Maybe we could even see Gumshoe? Probably not.
Re: Exclusive: Check Out Runbow's Complete Cast of Colourful Crossover Characters
I'm just happy that Juan is in, haha. Guacameele is one of my favorite indies.
Re: Nintendo Download: 16th July (North America)
I just hope that we get the Kirby titles that EU got before long.
Re: Nintendo President Satoru Iwata Passes Away Aged 55
R.I.P. Mr. Iwata...
Like others said, he was such a nice and personable guy. It's like a friendly uncle has left us.
Re: Review: Don't Crash (Wii U eShop)
1/10, really? I understand a low score but 1/10 is usually reserved for games that are actually buggy. This sounds like it works just fine.
Although I guess The Letter also got 1/10 and it's not really that buggy either.
Re: Feature: A Fit-To-Burst History Of Kirby Games
Kind of surprised at the lack of love for Air Ride. I still play it from time to time!
Re: Feature: The Big Nintendo Direct Summary - 1st April
You guys have got to understand, every single Direct since it was first announced, I've been wanting N64 VC. And finally, it came! Along with DS and also some new Streetpass games. Solid Direct for me.
Re: Nintendo DS And Nintendo 64 Games Finally Coming To The Wii U Virtual Console
THIS WAS MY MOST WANTED ANNOUNCEMENT FOR SO LONG!!!!! OH man, can't wait to play DK64, MKDS, SM64, Paper Mario, and hopefully even more like the DS Kirbies, Star Fox 64, and Diddy Kong Racing. Thank you Iwata!
Re: Talking Point: What We Expect from Nintendo Direct - 1st April
Hopefully Collectable Badge Center and N64 VC. I can see Animal Crossing being revealed, but something like Paper Mario or Metroid would probably need to be an E3 reveal. After all, if it's not coming until Winter then it doesn't really matter if we don't know about it for a couple more months!

Oh man, I loved Fluidity and am probably going to pick up the sequel with my last 300 CN coins. Bring on a sequel!
Re: Nintendo Direct Confirmed for 1st April, With Updates on Wii U and 3DS
I'm just too excited. Hopefully we see N64 VC and a surprise new eShop release. SNES Remix, anyone?
Re: Poll: Vote For Your Ten Must-Play Games On Nintendo 3DS
Kid Icarus is my number one by far. Definitely PLvAA and Azran Legacy. The rest that I voted were all great games too but not huge titles like those.
Re: Review: PENTAPUZZLE (Wii U eShop)

Re: Review: Elliot Quest (Wii U eShop)
I won't buy anything new for awhile (unless MMBN3 or Zero 2 comes out in NA or we get a surprise during a Direct or or or) but I guess this should be on the top of my list. I still have to finish up Hyrule Warriors though! Three maps down, and the Majora one is coming along nicely. Then Xenoblade will release, and once again I'll be consumed.
Re: Nintendo Download: 26th March (Europe)
So it seems like Europe is getting MMZ while NA gets MMBN. I'm perfectly fine with that, but man, I sure hope we get 3 soon. I feel kind of like they're holding off for another Mega May.
