I say it's too early to make any big judgements on the game and shove it off.It's honestly interesting to me that they're doing a Metroid game from another perspective.Like this could be some kind of prequel to Metroid Prime 2 involving the Federation soldiers who all died off before Samus showed up in the game.
I should also note that this is most likely a one-off game that is being made while Retro or someone else is developing a Wii U Metroid game that wasn't ready to be shown off at E3 yet.
I think this looks like a fun movie to see with some buddies.Though,it still reminds me an awful a lot of Anthology of Interest II from Futurama.Plus Adam Sandler is in it(but thank God he doesn't seem to have any role in the production in the movie).
It's also good to note that the Meme Run Steam Greenlight page has also been missing,so this could mean that the dev got into copyright trouble or just decided to remove everything having to do with the game.But whatever happened,at least we have one less shovelware game on the Wii U.
Well,if this means Nintnedo will eventually restock all of the other amiibo figures,GC adapters,and other stuff I'm probably forgetting to mention,then this is good news.
This is a good way Nintendo can really piss people off.Seriously,they need to just make more stock for the products that make them tons of money.It's simple and is just plain common sense for a company that WANTS to generate revenue and WANTS to please fans.Restocking would just make everyone happy,including Nintendo.
Rayman as an actual playable character could have a great number of possibilities.The only thing surrounding character DLC that I could see as controversial withing the fan community is the price.2 or 3 dollars sounds like a decent price for one character,and character packs could have a somewhat discounted price compared to buying each character individually.
1.If you're doing YouTube for the millions of loving fans you have,you can handle losing just a small bit of money you earn to do something your fans want you to. 2.If you are doing YouTube as a job just for the money,just get a main job so you can actually pay your bills.Channels do not become loved when all they are about is the money. Seriously,a lot of these people already make enough money and really just come off as arrogant.Let's Players like Chuggaconroy never do what they do just for the money.Though,I still don't want Nintendo to become like Viacom with how they claim content and stuff.Bottom line,I think the some of the YouTubers complaining about this are just money-hungry and will do whatever they can just to get it.
But shouldn't it still cost more since the physical copies are discontinued and thus are still rare and hard to find?I don't understand online bidding sites.
@mariovslink62 If they made an online shop JUST for amiibo,I'm pretty sure the site would crash before anyone can get their hands on a plastic fitness instructor.
@Mario_TehPlumber Yes,we all know how much of a success Nintendo was for removing Wolf and Lucas from Smash Bros.
Edit:If you knew what you were talking about,you would know Rosalina isn't a princess at all.
A very interesting theory from MatPat.It's kind of cool to think of my own Pokemon game being in its own universe.But what I'm curious about is if there will be a Pokemon game where one of the evil teams succeeds in their mission and brings the world to chaos.In other words,THAT'D MAKE A GREAT IDEA FOR A FANFIC!
@Einherjar It was one of the first apps to be digitally downloaded on the DSi by lots of users.Plus it had a (somewhat lacklustre) online community called Flipnote Hatena,which allowed users to upload their animations to a website where others could see it.It went on for a while and was good fun while it lasted.
Nintendo needs to stop playing the role of a parent.If they have any online services like Hatena,they should just warn children and parents(who should be actually watching what they are doing online)that some content on there might not be appropriate,as some stuff slips through moderators.Well,at least we still get to upload the animations through PC.
Nintendo just needs to make the amiibo be used in better ways in the games and actually RESTOCK the figures that very obviously have extremely high demand.
Dangit Nintendo!Now I have to preorder all of the new amiibos that we all KNOW will get discontinued and sold out on top of getting games like Splatoon,the new 3DS,and even more stuff.I seriously hope they wise up and actually PRODUCE more stock for amiibo figures after they have run out of stock(or have stores ORDER more stock).
Of course I just had to buy Metroid Prime Trilogy for $50 used before this was announced.I didn't expect Nintendo to do this at all,but I just might have to rebuy it for $10 so I can play with the GamePad.
Wii U.It has the right amount of speed so it's not too fast or slow,plus the roster is my favorite in the series.Also,there's 8-player Smash and plenty of other fun stuff in it.
I think I seriously need to save my Christmas money if I ever hope to get my hands on a Mega Man,Sonic,and Shulk amiibo.It's preorders or checking stores now.
I made a rough copy of the stage with the "hoops" being a little more far out from the main stage platform so someone has to plan their shot for an easy cannon kill.I've got an idea or two of some new quirky stages.
Just put all of the garbage "Freemeium" games on their phone's app store,have it be hard to break,and give it great promotion and it will sell like crazy.
Welp,here comes another barrage of comments towards teens who don't all know their video games.Anyway,it's good to see a Smash Bros. episode from Fine Bros.
Played the Rise of Lyric demo today and actually enjoyed it.I'll give it a shot sometime around Christmas.The cartoon is doing pretty good,though.But if SEGA or CN ever want it to survive,they NEED to move the program up to at least an 8 am timeslot.It's just too early.
@Kaze_Memaryu Exactly.If the game corrupts my system or game file,I'm not going to buy it.Mediocre textures and dropped frames are tolerable to me.I'm not looking for "teh best graphics in deh wurld".I just want to play a new Sonic game that happens to try to do something different.Now if the graphics make me want me to gouge my eyes out,that's different.But so far,it just looks like something I have to see for myself and play.Besides,a lot of people are extremely mixed on whether or not certain Sonic are good or not anyway(ex:I found Sonic and the Black Knight fun,while others said it was horrible).
I'm still going to wait and play for myself.Honestly,games like Portal and even Mario 64 have glitches that allow you to clear through the game much faster.This is really nothing new.If you want an example,look at this speedrun I found that lasted only minutes thanks to glitches. [youtube:3YXWfNnAIvY]
@RancidVomit86 Exactly.Lots of games have glitches.With the same logic being applied to Skyrim,the game is horrible and broken because you can glitch through walls and stuff with plates.
I hope to get some figures to challenge my friends with.I'm guessing that the figures go up to level 9 CPU skill.Though,I hope this won't make them overpowered.
Still have yet to get the game this week.But I think it would be cool to challenge someone to go against your trained Amiibo figure or bet on the figures when they are fighting against each other.
Now they're just throwing crap at us thinking we want it because we're all "casuals" according to the non-Nintendo world.The very least they could have done is put the Korra game on the Wii U with off-TV play added.

Re: Ninja Pig Pulls The Plug On Wii U eShop Title Jumpy Cat
@Quorthon
He said the NL review wasn't even an actual review and criticized them for giving him criticism.

@CapeSmash
Seeing his response to Meme Run's negative reviews,I'd doubt that will be happening soon.

Re: Video: Unboxing The New Nintendo 3DS Ambassador Edition
Thanks Club Nintendo for once again providing exclusive rewards to only certain countries without any indicated reason!
Anyway,I hope it comes over to the US sometime soon.

Wii U.It has the right amount of speed so it's not too fast or slow,plus the roster is my favorite in the series.Also,there's 8-player Smash and plenty of other fun stuff in it.
