My Splatoon life started with the Splattershot Jr. and when/if the time comes; it will end with the Splattershot Jr. I do use other weapons; Carbon Roller, N-Zaps, Sploosh-o-matics and the Splash-o-matic are more or less my secondary go-to weapons.
Heh, I just finished another playthrough of Fusion recently on the 3DS. I do like Fusion, it was my proper introduction to Metroid and I prefer it to other games simply because I'd rather not get lost (even if I did still get lost at some point on my first playthrough).
I played the Mario Kart races yesterday but I'm gonna have to give this a miss. I'm not really feeling like Smashing today, would rather relax with Mario Maker. Have fun everyone!
Well that's it; I'm done. Good races everyone! Go get 'em, @Blue_Blur! I was 3 points ahead of you in the Rankings when I stopped. Take the lead and run with it!
Let it be known that I (LuigiMan with Pink Gold Peach & Daisy) was leaving you all for dust at some point. I'm gonna try to break 400 pts before anyone else!
Sure, but don't force her in. If you consider putting Linkle in future games, make sure everything all works out lest you want everyone else here to have justifiable reason to complain.
I'll just accept that us Nintendo fans will never get it on a Nintendo console and leave it at that. Honestly, I'm used to us not getting stuff.
I'm surprised the game got funded since it was very close to failing so congrats on that.
Never played it but I saw a ton of what Project M did and was impressed by all of the effort put into it. Really liked the alternate costumes.
By moving on, they stop any risk of unintentionally making the mod worse. I hope the team fairs well in the future and just hope the part of the fanbase that loved Project M can accept this decision they made.
Heh, never before has Twitter made laugh. It's nice when official big business companies mess around like that. After all, for them; it IS all fun and games.
Nintendo Life is best life. Happy Birthday, NL. I joined the site a good 3 years ago and since then, its become my part of my daily routine; "Always check out NL". You guys are fantastic!
Huzzah! New additions to Mario Maker. Thank you, Nintendo; but this is just the beginning! Let us shake coins for Star/Dragon Coins, let us add separate pools of water and lava, let there be slopes!
This article also fooled me into thinking that we were getting a direct, but yes we could really use one. Between the fake hype generated from leaks and rumours and lack of big information from Nintendo themselves; a part of the fan base is falling apart, they're desperate for new info and resort to believing in unofficial tweets that don't mean anything. Hope everything is well within the company, it's not normal for them to be somewhat quiet for so long.
@Hanakane - I must say I also got confused on what to do here but that's not really a bad thing since this is meant to be the water temple. It made me think of where to go while thankfully not being too complicated, for me at least; though I can see where people may get stuck
With that said, I noticed that I'm the first to beat this (part of the) level so the star's on the house.
Eh... This is all based on an error, right? Errors have been made on that site before, it had Lucina listed as being usable for Mario Kart 8 one time before that mistake was fixed. So as far as I'm concerned, anything goes, though I must say that I'd rather have Shantae as a indie since she's had more history with Nintendo.
Cool, nice to see Nintendo put the Star Catalogue on extra life support. I was able to get an extra Home Menu with my leftover stars. Farewell, Club Nintendo; it's been fun... and I'm sorry for noticing you until Smash.
I have 700 spare stars but sadly there is nothing in the catalogue that interests me with such low "funds" and I already dug up all the stars in games I have.
A shame that this game is getting some negativity but in the case of Zelda, until I play it myself, that don't mean squat. I enjoyed Wind Waker and Skyward Sword (which often get mixed opinions), and Four Swords Adventures is one of my favourite Zelda games period. So if this game is anything like that, I'll give this game a chance when the time comes.
[sigh] At last, one more week until the vote begging finally stops. Not very excited as most of the popular candidates are characters I don't care for (aside from the Inklings), but the ballot may not be just based on the most votes so I'll keep an open mind.
While Tipping Stars is my favourite of the Mini games, it goes without saying that the original GBA M vs. DK is the best one and my favourite game of the whole series. Contrary to the review though, I think Mario properly speaking is one of the game's good points ("Oh, you mum mummy [Italian gibberish]" makes me laugh) . I have it on the 3DS and have completed it at least twice.
Mario vs. Donkey Kong needs a "proper" sequel, level editor and all.
Well, that is all well and good, and I do have the amiibo but I still feel that I have little reason to be interested in Legacy Collection when I already have the six game via Virtual Console...
Ha, I saw a bit of the title and thought this was M&L RPG-related. XD This piece of art is amazing, though the nerd in me is bugged by the fact that Mario is the Thunder God, not Luigi. Won't let that take away from the impressive collaboration.
Yikes, I'm glad I got two when I did. I would've just got one but I had nothing better to buy with my remaining stars so I got another one. Apologies to anyone who was/is unable to get one.
I couldn't get the DS to work for online, it wouldn't accept the connection I had at the time so MKDS was purely a single player experience for me and I really enjoyed it. The mission mode made kept me playing for hours; the fact that missions haven't returned is crazy, it was one of the best things about MKDS.
As for the arcades, I've only played a couple in my life and they're fun too. Though I'd rather play the proper Mario Karts.
Well, this is it. The Goodbye Coin. Wasn't expecting it to be 2000 stars though, was hoping to buy a soundtrack CD with this. Oh well, the coin takes priority.
I don't think anything else will be added so I'ma go get this!
I loved SM64DS, definitely prefer it over the original. It's just a shame that the multiplayer adventure concept was cut, it'd be cool if that concept came back in a future 3D Mario. Granted it was in 3D World, but I mean in a Mario 64-like game. The D-Pad didn't bother me that much, but the game is much more enjoyable with the 3DS Circle Pad.
Good! When they're on trail, I hope the judge makes like Robin in Smash Bros. and throws the book at both of them. Nothing justifies such intentions and behaviour at a Pokémon Championships, of all places.
I'd love to get one but right now, money's a bit of a concern for me so I won't be pre-ordering. Thankfully, amiibo aren't much of a hassle in the UK any more; so I may just go for one upon its release.
Still waiting for that Goodbye Coin. That takes priority but thanks to the free stars I got for linking Club Nintendo with my NNID, I do have enough for this.
So unless the Goodbye Coin comes for less for 500 Stars (or doesn't come at all, any news on that?), I may have to give this a miss. Shame, since I'd gladly pick this up later.
Apparently, it's easy for many to forget that "Nintendo news does not always equal Smash Bros. news". The amiibo looks great though, the fact that Shovel Knight has one shows how far Yacht Club has come with the game.
Wonder if Shovel Knight amiibo will become a series ala Smash and Super Mario, or a one-off? Probably the latter.
