@ATaco They release them all the time, like with the latest Bakugan game. You gotta hope they're having the dev team that actually cares make it (Shantae, Mummy Demastered, etc) and not their shovelware team (Bakugan, Trollhunters)
IX is probably the most content crammed into an RPG. The main game is basically just getting you acquainted with the combat system before the grottos and legacy bosses absolutely stack on the content. And the multiplayer is awesome too!
Please ignore what they said about Mega Man Battle Network 1 and don't start with it. It's aged like absolute milk and is the worst in the series. Try 2 or 3 or even 6 instead.
@Noid Ms. Pac-Man? You mean the game where even 30 years from release multiple companies are fighting over who has the rights to the game and caused a lawsuit before release?
This right here is the prime example of being out-of-touch with gamers. These rules are going to be ignored almost instantly, just like with Persona 5.
@Mr_Persona These are different shortcuts that essentially skip an entire lap. They're a lot different because they abuse the checkpoint system. These are also tricks that are pretty much TAS-only, and rely on a trick/technique that was discovered recently.
Now to watch as the comment section turns into people whining about the National Dex, and how the series is suddenly absolutely terrible because of this.
@Kisame83 Spirit Tracks, most definitely. Couldn't even be bothered to finish it. The Oracle games could possibly eventually be remade (which I'd adore), but since Capcom developed them, there could be some issues there.
Not too much of a problem, actually, since you can just trade in Pokemon GO to get them. Sure, it may cost a fair bit of stardust, but it's far from having it locked behind a paywall.
An easy trick that I've found is to short them in the eye once, then get on top of them and whack them about 10 times before they start moving again. Rinse, repeat, reap.
@MitchVogel It actually took no trouble to translate the first one. They completely translated it in 1990, but cancelled the release. We basically just got a release of a prototype.
@DiscoGentleman Even though I'm one of the few lucky people who owns a copy of The Second Attack!, I'm still annoyed it isn't on Wii/Wii U yet. Imagine being the poor guy who's always wanted to play it ever since VC was announced, but just can't.
I'm pretty sure beldam isn't moon exclusive. I managed to encounter one in Sun, and I don't think it's listed as one on Serbii.
Also, take advantage of what moves your pokemon excels in. If it has a high special attack, stock up on special moves. Popplio is really good with Modest nature, so if you have patience, it's worth resetting for that nature.
@SebCroc Actually, a lot of them are preserved; most collectors privately dump them, and they usually end up getting public releases anyway - which then get illegal reproductions :/
It's probably Shining Force. I hope it is, as i'd love to be able to play Shining Force on the go. Who knows, maybe we'll someday get all of 3 in North America...
If you think this is nuts, the original one is FAR more broken... skipping entire chapters, softlocks, making goompa a permanent party member, activating a "new game +"... the list goes on and on and on.

Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Version 12.0.0 Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
@SkullDragr It's the Tekken announcer, as an extra reference to the series
Re: Dante, Shantae And More Join Super Smash Bros. Ultimate As Mii Fighter Costumes
@RupeeClock They do that whenever the game they're from is rated M, and only in the NA broadcast. Why? Who knows
Re: One Of The Rarest Mega Man Titles Is Getting A Physical Reprint
@MatthewTaranto Honestly you can buy a Genesis Mini for the same price or cheaper and get this game along with 41 other great titles

Re: "Pokémon Redrawn" Is A Pixel Art Project That's Redesigning Johto And Kanto
The Pokemon Center one is really nice, but it's inaccurate because nobody picks Bulbasaur as their starter
Re: Feature: Turning 'Peaceful' Into 'Frantic' With Animal Crossing's Speedrunning Scene
No mention of the person who's currently on day 23 of a 500+ hour 100% speedrun of New Leaf? (Yes, this is actually happening right now)
Re: Feature: Every Mega Man Game Ranked

Re: PAC-MAN 99 Announced Exclusively For Nintendo Switch Online
Just yesterday I randomly thought to myself a Pac-Man battle royale would be neat, and now here we are!
Re: Talking Point: Is The N64 Pad Actually The Best Controller Ever?
The GameCube controller exists, so no.

Re: Review: SEGA AGES Shinobi - A True Arcade Classic Comes To Switch
@Mr_Pepperami They couldn't think of a negative, so they made one up.
Re: Gallery: Unboxing Metal Storm, The NES Hidden Gem That's Getting A Second Chance
@Sinton Selling it like this is a much higher profit margin, especially since collectors will buy this "because I need it"
Re: Mario Kart Tour's Multiplayer Beta Test Starts This December, But You'll Need A Gold Pass To Race
Literally pay to play. Just wow.
Re: Is Sharp About To Challenge Nintendo With Its Own Portable Gaming Device?
"Could this be a challenge to the Switch?"
No, lol.
Re: This Week's Smash Bros. Ultimate Spirit Event Celebrates Mother's 30th Annivesary
@Heavyarms55 Probably Fire Emblem 6/The Binding Blade (the one with Roy), or some other Japan-exclusive game a Smash character is in.

Re: Limited Run Partners With Lucasfilm To Re-Release Classic Star Wars Games
I'd rather get them used for $5-$10 than pay $50 for games 20+ years old.
Re: Random: PETA Makes Woolly Statement About Sheep Pokémon Wooloo, Backlash Ensues
Uh.. why are we supposed to care about what PETA thinks?
Re: Game Boy Classic Zelda: Link's Awakening Is Getting Remastered For Switch
@Kisame83 Spirit Tracks, most definitely. Couldn't even be bothered to finish it.
The Oracle games could possibly eventually be remade (which I'd adore), but since Capcom developed them, there could be some issues there.
Re: Game Boy Classic Zelda: Link's Awakening Is Getting Remastered For Switch
Of course my 2nd least favorite is the one that gets remade... at least the art style is really adorable.
Re: Video: Why You Should Be Pleased The Development Of Metroid Prime 4 Has Been Restarted
But wasn't Other M actually pretty good, despite how everyone acts like it was a dumpster fire?
Re: Feature: Nintendo's 2018: A Remarkable Year In Review
The Pokemon Go friend code page is the reason I'm STILL getting friend requests, even though I entered my code over four months ago.
Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Will Apparently Only Include Two Final Fantasy Songs
So glad Square Enix went all-out to show their support for Nintendo!

Re: Review: Sonic Mania (Switch eShop)
Glad to see this got a "not a Nintendo IP" out of 10
Re: Video: Super Mario Odyssey Developer Diary Has Story, Gameplay And amiibo Info
I can't be the only one who got the "cap in hand" reference. I'm expecting some "12 hours" or "half a press" memes soon.

Re: Rumour: Nintendo Releasing New Super Mario Bros. On The Nvidia Shield In China
Has anyone here actually read the Chinese text, or does it secretly say "this is fake news"?

Re: Random: Baten Kaitos Speedrun Attempt Leads To Temporary Twitch Account Ban
Funny how he get a temp ban this time, and not all the other times that he's done 100% runs.
Re: The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+ is Looking Like a Decent Bet for Nintendo Switch
Still no release date for Afterbirth on wii u...
Re: Feature: 10 Essential Wii U And 3DS Platformers
@edcomics
It totally is. Fun autoscrollers, awesome music/levels, great replay value... it just can't be beat.
Re: Guide: Getting Started In Pokémon Sun and Moon
I'm pretty sure beldam isn't moon exclusive. I managed to encounter one in Sun, and I don't think it's listed as one on Serbii.
Also, take advantage of what moves your pokemon excels in. If it has a high special attack, stock up on special moves. Popplio is really good with Modest nature, so if you have patience, it's worth resetting for that nature.

Re: Nintendo Download: 22nd September (North America)
@Ryu_Niiyama
It's going to have a SUPER limited print run. I had to order mine from PlayAsia.
Re: Sega 3D Classics Collection 3: Final Stage To Include Mystery Title Picked By Fans
It's probably Shining Force. I hope it is, as i'd love to be able to play Shining Force on the go. Who knows, maybe we'll someday get all of 3 in North America...
Re: Forget The NES Classic Edition Mini, Here's The Analogue Nt Mini
I'd rather save my money for the NX. If I want to play retro games, I can just use the consoles I already have and one of my 6 tube TVs.
Re: Nintendo's Official UK Store Opens Federation Force Pre-Orders, Along With Some Lovely New Samus Figurines
@PieNinja Don't give them ideas. They'll totally do it.
Re: Nintendo's Official UK Store Opens Federation Force Pre-Orders, Along With Some Lovely New Samus Figurines
@PikaNick Obviously the mousepad is so that Metroid fans have a nice mousepad to use while they complain about the game on forums.
Re: Gallery: Fans Get Hands-On During The Legend Of Zelda Extravaganza At The Nintendo NY Store
I feel like they won't do an eshop demo, if only because data miners would go to town on it and reveal things nintendo doesn't want them to.

Re: 60 Platinum Points Up For Grabs in Legend of Zelda My Nintendo Missions
Can't seem to find the eye; what do people mean by "social media icons"?
Re: Nintendo of Europe Unveils Over 40 Discounts for eShop 5 Year Anniversary Sale
I'd recommend getting SMT4, if you have 14337 blocks to spare (seriously, that game is AWESOME)
Re: Video: The Stakes Are High in This Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse Story Trailer
Getting this for me and my friend. (He went crazy with SMT4, while I recently got it) Should be fun!
Re: Hyper Light Drifter Collector's Edition Looks Pretty Fine
To be honest, that cyan color looks kinda ugly. (It also reminds me of Wisdom Tree )
