Meh people are over reacting, you fight 5 Pokemon then you take a break and your 5 lives recharge in 2.5 hours. Unless you binge play the game your not really going to have to pay anything.
If you do feel the urge to spend money I suggest you buy the Trozi/Link Battle instead as its a better game.
Awesome game, got it day 1. People who skipped it are missing out period. One of my best games this year alongside Transistor, Dragon Age, Age of Wonders 3, Mk 8, Endless Dungeon, Smash, Infamous first light, Shadow of Mordor.... Whoa its actually been quite a great year for games for me lol.
The only sad thing is knowing i won;'t play another Bayonetta game anytime soon, its a good thing Bayo 2 has so much replayability and alt characters.
If Iwata is not CEO or part of Nintendo by next generation I don't expect Sakurai to be doing much Nintendo work at all to be honest. I'd like to see what his next project will be though, Nintendo or not.
I doubt its true but i hope it is cancelled and Nintendo are doing a Wii U Fire Emblem instead, SMT & FE are polor oppersites, the game will/would end up as one of the games but with assets of the other with a few cross over mechanics.
Fire Emblem with the graphics of FE:A cut scenes would be sooooo much better.
This is cool and all but Nintendo really need a December Direct to give us release dates in the UK. I just checked my Amazon pre-orders and i have no 3DS or Wii U games on my list with release dates while I have 6 PS4 release dates (None for my Vita either though).
People buying the system now have an awesome backlog to go through but the horizon is uncertain with only a few titles given rough release estimates, this gives the impression there is not much actually coming in the future which is not the message the Wii U (or 3DS) should be sending.
My Amazon pre-order was shipped by royal mail Thursday but I have yet to receive it. If it doesn't arrive today I'm just going to buy the stand alone at GAME tomorrow morning on my way to my brothers and then sell or cancel the adaptor order.
If my Wii U wasn't at my brothers house I would be super pissed right now. However I'm still playing and loving Dragon Age on my PS4 so I'm only mildly annoyed at the moment....
@BrownGamer4 Actually it could be fake now that you mention it, you can actually open the box from the bottom to remove the figure and preserve the cardboard.
This and the Reggie thing posted on the same day? Surely no one expects either of these parties to have any other stance than the ones they are being paid to have?
I can't take this article (or comments) seriously when it rates a console by its sales... This is a game site leave the business talk to business sites. Games, hardware, fun and experiences are what you should rate a console on as a gamer. Lets talk about what matters for the gamer and not what matters for the investors please.
Im still on the 1st adventure map lol, i really need to complete it and get working on the second one for those sweet alt costumes and 8bit weps. This year has been great for games, so many great ones and not enough time is my problem now.
Toon link would have been cool but i prefer Toad even if i'm not that interested in this game (i'll likley still pick it up to give it a try though). Reason being is that even though Toad has been around for ages this is his first full game and if it does well it could encourage more spin-off games with existing but under used characters.
@sinalefa I find it hard to believe that the NOA store won't even be selling them, that's a very stupid move on there part. I hope NOA are getting a good deal out of this exclusivity because Nintendo fans don't like crap like this and Nintendo have alot riding on these things.
As others have said before, this is a new market and beyond nostalgia value Amiibo have no real hook so making them difficult to get is not a good idea.
I'm sure that's just retail, Nintendo have already stated that every Amiibo will be available directly from them. They even have a subscription service to get every Amiibo as they are released.
@CanisWolfred Lol yeah i have no idea why they didn't market it as such. Even reviewers missed it and i only realised once I started playing. Its pretty awesome and you can get it for peanuts now.

Good luck to everyone!
Re: Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water's Limited Edition Bundle Now Up for Pre-Order From Nintendo's Official UK Store
@MarvinTheMartian No worries the P0/FF series is about mystery and Yurei (Lost souls), they are not really zombie survival games.
Just make sure you dim the lights and set the mood first, these games are all about atmosphere.
Re: Nintendo President Satoru Iwata Passes Away Aged 55
RIP to a legend, loved watching him in directs, so much character and genuine excitement.
Re: Nintendo Download: 2nd April (Europe)
Direct incoming for sure, that list is suspect.
Re: The Racing Days Are Over For SEGA’s 3DS eShop Drifter, Initial D: Perfect Shift Online
@Laxeybobby They have to release the Wii U version as the game was crowd funded so they could be sued.
What shape it arrives in is a different story....

Re: Pokémon Shuffle Available to Download Right Now, for Free, in Europe
Is this a waterdown Trozi/Link battle or is it just the same with a different pricing model?

Re: Platinum Games’ Producer Thanks Wii U Owners Who Bought Bayonetta 2 on Release

Re: Talking Point: The Time Is Right For A Nintendo Phone
Lol no, a Nintendo phone sounds like it would be a massive flop. Both MS and Sony have tried and failed, why would Nintendo succeed?
Re: Amazon UK Is Cancelling GameCube Adapter Orders Due To Lack Of Stock
Thats sucks, my adaptor bundle was 3 days late and i was pissed. Did Nintendo under estimate demand for this product?

Re: Rumour: Has Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem Been Cancelled?
