The fact that Rosalina is playable in amiibo Mode pretty much confirms she's a playable character in the main game as well, as far as I'm concerned. That was only a matter of time really.
No luck, but in some way; that's a good thing. Now I won't have to worry about buying it now on impulse; I'm not in the position to spend money so quickly. Hopefully an official release for it comes soon though... I'd prefer getting one in black anyway.
Eh, I haven't had any trouble with Diddy; he's great but not really OP. Even if he got a nerf, players would then probably just find another character to call "over-powered". Also; that 'down-throw up-air combo' works/KOs with other characters too.
Man, you guys at NA finally have Super Mario Bros. Deluxe! Took long enough, eh? Also, Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World. Love that game a bit more than the original but it's weird that it's available when the SNES game is around. Optional preference is nice to have, I guess.
I guess what gives away the fact that these are fake may be that G&W's amiibo doesn't follow the same pose as his official art; being the odd one out. That said though, the image is pretty cool and I do hope the whole roster gets amiibos. Palutena, Lucina and Dark Pit are the ones I'd like to see in future waves.
Might be a placeholder convo for other DLC characters or if any unexpected stuff happened. Not for just Mewtwo though, I'm fairly certain for that. The Kid Icarus crew know of Pokémon (well, Pit and Palutena do anyway).
I got Luigi and Pit last week, they're nice. I imagine Zelda will stick around for a while so I may get that her amiibo eventually as well for the actual rrp.
I bought 2 WFT amiibos with the intention of selling one for profit in the future since I had a feeling that would be one of rare ones. I wouldn't think that any would be discontinued now; they've only been around for a week or two! This tells me I better get the ones I really want as soon as the next amiibo waves arrive.
So like I thought this entire time, the Ridley fans were just fooling themselves.
Popcorn at the ready! Seriously though, I do understand his reasoning.
I was lucky enough to have all of the "Super Mario Advance" series of games within my childhood. Loved them all, I can safely say this game is the reason why I'm OK with SMB2 today. By all means, give this game a go if you've yet to play the original.
@NintyMan - Whoa, really? I didn't know he did most of the voices. They sound so different!
Don't see how the 16-bit kart would work exactly since the Pipe Frame pretty much does the nostalgia job. Otherwise, everything else is indeed fair game. Can see Star Fox and Yoshi's Woolly World happening, Luigi's Mansion (as a new race track) would be nice too.
@Caryslan - Well, there are people who wanted a Rainbow Cup in Mario Kart. I personally don't like that at all but maybe having 3 of them in one game will please them. SNES Rainbow Road looks nice and simplistic.
Ooo, I can't wait to play as Link and Tanooki Mario. Cat Peach however, I really don't care for, and that's coming from someone who likes Pink Gold Peach! I'm really surprised at Link being a Heavy class racer though, I guess it 'cause he's a tall character like Waluigi or Rosalina.
Considering what I've heard and seen about them recently, I suppose it was only a matter of time... At some point, the quality of both the website and the mag kinda just dropped.
When it comes overseas, I'll definitely go for the regular N3DS, not the XL. In addition to price, I like the changeable plate covers. Toon Zelda's... dare I say, so kawaii! Bowser's kinda cute in his get-up, check out his neat hair-do; and Luigi just makes me laugh. This commercial should do well in Japan considering.
I'll sit this one out. Good luck to all who enter. Hey, this reminds me of that Year of Luigi competition a while back and I don't remember seeing the winners. Who won that one?
I was expecting facepalm-inducing stuff but those were actually pretty cool. Oh yes, when the time comes; my friends and I will definitely settle things in Smash!
I owe this man a good chunk of my gaming life. He's done so much, no matter what his condition is and yet, I feel some just take him for granted. While I love Smash, Kid Icarus: Uprising, and Kirby and look forward to his next game project; he needs a break.
He's provided so many flawless games and I thank him for that!
@Jazzer94 - True. You're more likely to win on Thursday, but I go back to University starting next week. I'm better off focusing on that during the week. I've already played the Wii U version at Hyper Japan, so it's no skin off my back.
The possibility of winning that limited edition Super Smash Bros. 3DS got my attention but while the weekend tickets are cheap, they're also sold out! I'll be content with the eShop demo when I get my hands on it.
MM7 is definitely one of my all-time favourites. It's refreshing after the 6 NES games. Most are typically busy harping on MM2 to notice this gem of a game.
Just... wow. Talk about "smashing" the competition! That gap is beyond huge! Looks like Sony's going OK too with those console sales so good for them there but yeah. The Smash sales are the clear highlight!
The Ice Climbers will be missed; but the 3DS is my only way to play Smash, so if they had to go, so be it. We'll see you later, ICs. You won't be forgotten. Also, it seems only one character(s) couldn't make it due to limitations; the 3DS ain't holding the Wii U version in any other aspect, as far as we know.
I played the game for years when I first got it (as Mario Pinball Land, American auntie got it for me). Love it, though Bowser's a pain in the 'A' and the temporary saves are a bit inconvenient; the latter doesn't apply as much for the Wii U. Still, everything else was a good time. Whenever I was annoyed, I just went back to it hours later!
Well, hopefully, that gets fixed. I typically choose random in online so I don't want to get banned when the game happens to pick Peach. That and I like her in Smash.
I don't have the code... Stop with all the torment... Leave me alone! Wahh! Although even if I did, my 3DS is in for repairs. I really hope I get it back soon! Don't let me down now, Nintendo!
I was trying to avoid spoilers but I already knew about this so I'm cool with it. I've warmed up to DHD after seeing pics of him but he'll still be my punching bag for a bit for being the embodiment of the leaks spoiling me a month back!
They're still a few characters I don't know about and I hope to discover them myself!

Wait, this is just for Europe? Man, America been having a hard time recently... I should be thankful. Must give the app a look at least.
Re: Splatoon Confirmed for May Release Along With Details on Customisation

Re: Mario Party 10 Gets It Started With Wii U on 20th March

Re: Super Smash Bros. Double CD Soundtrack Listing is Revealed in Full
All pretty sweet, though the lack of Magicant is a bit of a shame... Don't see Mega Man music either; still, I look forward to the CDs!

Re: Super Smash Bros. Pro Players Tackle the Problem of Diddy Kong
Eh, I haven't had any trouble with Diddy; he's great but not really OP. Even if he got a nerf, players would then probably just find another character to call "over-powered".

Re: Poll: Fake Wave 4 amiibo Images Make Us Dream of More Figures
I guess what gives away the fact that these are fake may be that G&W's amiibo doesn't follow the same pose as his official art; being the odd one out.
That said though, the image is pretty cool and I do hope the whole roster gets amiibos.
Palutena, Lucina and Dark Pit are the ones I'd like to see in future waves.
Re: Feature: 12 Days of Nintendo Christmas - Day Eleven
Hmm...
12 Smashers Smashing?
Go-Karts Racing sounds good though.
Re: Hidden Palutena's Guidance Audio Discovered in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U

Inb4 someone comments on the feet. FE players will know...
EDIT: @Zyph beat me to it!
It looks good, but I'll be waiting for the amiibo.

Re: Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS HOME Menu Themes Live in Europe
I got the 2nd and 3rd one, using the 3rd right now. Love how the sound effects change to the Smash one.
I would've gotten the 1st theme too but seeing Mario so short compared to Link and Pit is a deal-breaking nitpick for me.
Re: Feature: Our Predictions For The Animal Crossing x Mario Kart 8 DLC Pack 2
Don't see how the 16-bit kart would work exactly since the Pipe Frame pretty much does the nostalgia job. Otherwise, everything else is indeed fair game. Can see Star Fox and Yoshi's Woolly World happening, Luigi's Mansion (as a new race track) would be nice too.
I shall look forward to DLC Pack 2 open-mindedly.

Though bias aside, I'd prefer Alex's overall. The rest are a bit too "silly" for my taste.
Re: Nintendo Reveals 11 amiibo Super Smash Bros. Figures Hitting in Early 2015
Definitely would get Mega Man! Toon Link, Meta Knight and King Dedede looks pretty cool too! I hear the Toon Link one works with MK8.

Re: Eiji Aonuma Confirms Majora's Mask 3D Has Been In Development Since 2011
