@QuixoticRocket Believe me when I say Reach is one of my all time favorite games. But unlike Federation Force, it actually retained elements that made previous main entries brilliant and built on them. Federation Force is a harmless spin-off, yeah, but it's undoing all the classic Metroid staples.
@NinjaWaddleDee It was underwhelming definitely. It was kind of inevitable since last year was so great, this year sucked. Sony had the opposite effect.
This makes me wonder if we'll see the club Nintendo replacement at the digital event. The time is ripe for its announcement. I've been waiting to try soul axiom.
This was an interesting conference. For one there is the app Fallout Shelter. That is a clever way to support/advertise the game on smartphones, and all I could think of was Nintendo doing something similar. Also, that release date caught me out of nowhere.
@Windy So true. I also bought Ninja Gaiden Sigma for $8. So sad that a retail game on PSN costs the same as a VC game on eshop. (It was on sale though but still)
I have no idea why Nintendo does not use these fan projects as examples of demand for new entries for dormant IPs. The demand is obviously there but they would rather suppress it.
@TheRedCap30 @HollywoodHogan I can't believe there are people who would (try to) counter argue these points. Someone who plays video games and does nothing else should not be earning any money at all, and certainly not more than someone who busts their @$$ off trying to provide or survive through actual work.
@firstnesfan @grumblebuzzz If you guys want it THAT bad, download a GBA emulator on your phones and the Zero Mission Rom with it. I don't like touch screen controls, but you can't beat that price of $free.99.
What's the point of releasing more amiibos if they won't have enough stock? I at least want the female inkling but, like my Samus amiibo, I'll have to wait 2 months after shipping to actually get it.
Do we know what tracks will be included? Mute City is gonna be REAL hard to top, I hope they remake Neo Bowser City from MK7! That track in HD would be glorious.

Re: Nintendo Download: 2nd July (Europe)
With the European download update being this good, I expect the NA one to be horrible.
Re: Two More New Weapons Coming To Splatoon Tomorrow
These weapons are nice but so far nothing has pulled me away from the .96 gal and the Splattershot Jr.
Re: Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden Fighting Its Way to the 3DS in the West This Year
Only 20 playable characters? I should be expecting more right?
Re: Super Mario Maker Arrives This September With amiibo Support In Tow
This is looking better by the minute.
Re: New Trailer Emerges for Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem
Only thing I don't like is the jpop theme. Everything else is nice. Especially the...uh... female character design, yeah.
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles X Launching In The West Just In Time For Christmas
I don't know if I should buy this on release day and play it immediately or wait until Christmas.
Re: Triforce Heroes Resurrects Zelda Co-Op On Nintendo 3DS
Awesome! The best part of Zelda are the dungeons. I'll be getting this but only after I beat ALBW.
Re: Metroid Prime: Federation Force Is The Metroid Game You Didn't Expect, Or Perhaps Want
@NinjaWaddleDee It was underwhelming definitely. It was kind of inevitable since last year was so great, this year sucked. Sony had the opposite effect.
Re: Two More Splatoon Weapons Are About to Arrive
A nice little post-digital event treat.
Re: Nindies@Home E3 Promotion Offers Wii U eShop Demos With 15 Percent Off The Final Game
This makes me wonder if we'll see the club Nintendo replacement at the digital event. The time is ripe for its announcement. I've been waiting to try soul axiom.

Re: Metroid-Style 'Blast Ball' Unveiled For Nintendo 3DS During Nintendo World Championships 2015
Now I really hope the Digital Event isn't mostly DLC.
Re: The First Mother Game Is Finally Coming To The West As EarthBound Beginnings
I guess its a good thing I haven't started Earthbound yet. Almost like a prophecy or something.
Re: Rumour: ZombiU Is Shedding Its Wii U Exclusivity To Infect The PlayStation 4 And Xbox One
Wow...this is weird. I just had a dream I was in ZombiU but it was the opening section of a sequel. Then I wake up and see this. O.o
Re: Reminder: Time's Running Out to Grab the Humble Nindie Bundle
@Vriess Certainly stranger. I can only give away Bit.trip and Mighty Switch Force.
Re: Reminder: Time's Running Out to Grab the Humble Nindie Bundle
Just bought the bundle. I'll give away some codes to strangers on min verse or something.
Re: There's Already a Splatoon Inspired Minecraft Mod
Never understood the love for minecraft. I tried it on PC and was entertained for an hour but lost interest after.
Re: Konami Not Turning Its Back On Consoles After All, Says Sorry For Causing Such A Fuss
I just want Konami to restore Silent Hill to its former glory.
Re: Guide: Tips On How To Become A Squid Hotshot In Splatoon
Why did I have to start my summer job today of all days? I'll definitely look forward to Splatoon when I get back.
Re: Humble Nindie Bundle Sells Over 37,000 Units in Just 24 Hours
I have a question. When new games are eventually added, will they add to the bundle or reset it entirely?
Re: Humble Nindie Bundle Allows Wii U and 3DS eShop Gamers in North America to Pay What They Want
I'm afraid of buying these and adding them to my backlog and playing them months after I download them.
Re: Nintendo Download: 21st May (North America)
@Windy So true. I also bought Ninja Gaiden Sigma for $8. So sad that a retail game on PSN costs the same as a VC game on eshop. (It was on sale though but still)
Re: Reminder: The Final Splatoon Global Testfire is on 23rd May
@MadAdam81 Months!? That's funny, try years.
Re: Code Name S.T.E.A.M. Fails to Chart in Week of Poor Sales in Japan
@Flopsy86 That's exactly how I feel about ZombiU. So much room for improvement in a sequel but sadly will not be. ¡_¡
Re: Unofficial Metroid Prequel Uses The Original NES Hardware To Impressive Effect
I have no idea why Nintendo does not use these fan projects as examples of demand for new entries for dormant IPs. The demand is obviously there but they would rather suppress it.
Re: Nintendo Download: 21st May (North America)
@Windy If you think that price is good, I bought it on PSN for $2. Nintendo should learn how to properly do sales from Sony.
Re: Nintendo Announces Best Buy Locations and Details for Nintendo World Championships 2015 Qualifiers
I knew Nintendo would have a hard time topping the Smash Invitational from last year, but man, this is nowhere near them trying.
Re: Executive Director Discusses Skells in Xenoblade Chronicles X
There better be a release date at E3.

Re: Nintendo UK Releases Wii U Sizzle Reel and Wants to Know Your Favourite Game
Wonderful 101 for me. I have a feeling Splatoon and XCX will challenge that though.

@firstnesfan @grumblebuzzz If you guys want it THAT bad, download a GBA emulator on your phones and the Zero Mission Rom with it. I don't like touch screen controls, but you can't beat that price of $free.99.
Re: Nintendo Direct: A Special Splatoon Direct is Inked In for 7th May
Crap! I have a final to take at that time. I'll just catch the replay then.

Re: Just When You Thought the Humble Wii Was Dead, Here Comes PSA World Tour Squash
Canceled all my preorders just to buy this. GOTY 2015 for sure!
Re: Mewtwo 10-Man Smash Glitch is Stopping Some From Playing Super Smash Bros. for Wii U Online

Re: North American Retailers Confirm Super Smash Bros. amiibo Exclusives and Pre-Order Times
@Quorthon I agree completely. Nintendo already knows amiibo are a big hit. There's no reason to understock anymore.
Re: Splatoon Release Date, Modes and amiibo Information Splat Into View
What's the point of releasing more amiibos if they won't have enough stock? I at least want the female inkling but, like my Samus amiibo, I'll have to wait 2 months after shipping to actually get it.
Re: Nintendo Direct Confirmed for 1st April, With Updates on Wii U and 3DS
Only thing I want/expect/anticipate is a XCX release date. Anything else is icing on the cake.
Re: The Legend of Zelda for Wii U No Longer Set for 2015 Release
@GrizzlyArctos That's a good point, but what would a Grizzly like you need video games for. I thought you were busy protecting your cubs or something.
Re: Azure Striker Gunvolt Release Details for Europe Due Next Week, Prompts Nintendo Direct Chatter
To all my fellow European gamers, it will be well worth the wait, trust me.
Re: UK Retailer GAME Opens Marketplace to Sell Gaming Culture Goodies Such as T-Shirts and Merchandise

Re: Weirdness: Legendary Composer Koji Kondo Drew Inspiration From '70s Rock Bands
I was just looking at something similar yesterday. Can anyone confirm if Nobuo Uematsu found inspiration in progressive rock?
