Can't say there's much I'm excited for. I will probably still get StarFox Zero, Fire Emblem Fates, and Xenoblade Chronicles X, but I can't say I'm greatly looking forward to them as I used to be. Zelda U is so far the only must-have game from the list, and Nintendo didn't even talk about it (and I'd argue it shouldn't be on this list)
I may get Super Mario Maker and Yoshi's Woolly World eventually, but I doubt it. Everything else is going to need heavy convincing to get me to buy it. And look at what an utter disaster SMT x FE looks to be...
@DBPirate Exactly, I believe they did something similar in Kid Icarus Uprising. (though it's been a while since I used its online ) I think it was 3v3 battles (not unlike Blast Ball...) and one player would be Pit or Dark Pit.
I don't know much about the Metroid Prime Hunters games, but I also don't see why they couldnt just use those characters to be selectable. Either way, the Federation troops look very ugly and bland so far.
I've always had a small interest in the mystery dungeon games but have never really played one. This looks decent but I dont really have anything to compare it to. (Though I didnt like the Gates to Infinity demo)
Yes, this is awesome! This one should be even better than the first. I really wanted Phoenix/Maya to be added, and I'm glad X is back. But where's Zero?
@Artwark: No, this game really isn't anything like FE. In between turns it's similar to FE but the combat is more like a fighter. I recommend checking out the demo on eShop if it's still there.
@DarthNocturnal @EmmatheBest: I think when they made the first one, they only wanted to use more humanoid characters, so no Sonic, Tails, Klonoa, Pac-Man, etc. We got Mega Man X, but no classic Mega Man, so that could draw the line at how "humanoid" they wanted them to be. Opa Opa was the only non-humanoid but that was just a cameo.
When this comes out to the West I'll definitely try it out. It's still not good incentive for someone who's uninterested in amiibos, but as someone who's actively collecting them, this is a fun bonus!
To everyone requesting Sonic, Pac-Man or etc: They said that they wanted to use humanoid characters only.
I'm glad to see that Dante has Vergil as a partner now, but I'm hoping that Demitri didn't completely get the boot. Maybe they'll pair him up with Morrigan and Chun-Li will have a new partner, maybe Cammy!
And I'm glad that Yuri is back, but I'm disappointed that they cut Estelle in favor of Flynn.

Re: Eager Splatoon Players Aim to Make Sense of the Inkling Language
Well we know that the word at the bottom of the minigame screens say Nintendo... Perhaps some characters could be decoded from that.
Re: Reggie Fils-Aime Promises 3DS E3 Reveals While Being as Vague as Possible
Sooo... like Mother 3 and Project Guard?
Re: Capcom Reveals E3 Plans and Mega Man Legacy Collection for 3DS
Sounds good, there are more NES Mega Man games I still haven't played, and this would be a lot more costly than buying them on the eShop.
Would prefer this to come to Wii U, but 3DS or PC could work for me.

Re: Lucas DLC Confirmed for 14th June Release on Super Smash Bros. for Wii U & 3DS
Almost time to spam that up Smash!!
Re: Splatoon Practically Sold Out at Launch in Japan, With Over 100,000 amiibo Also Sold
Remember when people said Splatoon would bomb?
Re: Squid Girl Collaboration Set to Invade Splatoon in August
@ColdingLight From Shinrakyu Ika Musume/Squid Girl! I recommend it if that wasn't obvious.
Re: Super Mario Bros. Inducted Into the World Video Game Hall of Fame
Little bit surprised Zelda or Pokemon didnt make it, and I think Sonic was nominated too which could've made it as well.

Re: Video: The World is a Better Place Thanks to These Rhythm Tengoku: The Best Plus Commercials
That second guy is my hero.
Re: Mighty No.9 Looks Rather Neat in This 60fps Trailer
This looks slightly better, and yet... slightly worse?
I'm just glad I didnt back it. Guess I'll be reading the reviews of this when it comes out.
Re: New Mega Man TV Series Blasting Its Way to Screens in... 2017
Really hoping for the return of Kung Fu Cutman!!
Re: Matters Of Import: Fire Emblem (Sort Of) Exists On The Sony PlayStation
Interesting game, I think I may have heard about this on GameSack or something.
Re: K.K. Slider Hat and Outfit Confirmed as DLC for Super Smash Bros.
Nah, I think for now I'm good with only the X and Protoman costumes (and the Inkling costumes when they're released)
Re: Video: Ever Wondered What Happens When A Splatoon Turf War Ends In A Tie?
Had a match last night end I think with 43.1% on our side and 43.0% on the other... My mind was blown as I was sure we had lost!
Re: Monster Hunter X (Cross) Confirmed for Japanese Release
That was fast. Guess I have some catching up to do, I'm still trying to play through MH3U!
Re: Video: First Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon Footage Revealed
I've always had a small interest in the mystery dungeon games but have never really played one. This looks decent but I dont really have anything to compare it to. (Though I didnt like the Gates to Infinity demo)
Re: Weirdness: Find Out If You Are A Squid With This Splatoon Infographic
It says I'm just a boring human.... My whole life has been a lie!
Re: Video: Discover What Happens When Yoshis Meet amiibo In This New Yoshi’s Woolly World Trailer
Can't wait to see the Sonic and Mega Man designs for this... And now I need to get a Yoshi amiibo.
Re: Feature: The Full Story Behind Star Fox 2, Nintendo's Most Famous Cancellation
Wow, this is all really interesting and a very good read. Wish I could play the full version! (And thank you for crediting the original fanart!)
Re: Gallery: Phoenix Wright, Axel From Streets of Rage and More Feature in New Project X Zone 2 Screens
Yes, this is awesome! This one should be even better than the first. I really wanted Phoenix/Maya to be added, and I'm glad X is back. But where's Zero?

Re: Rumour: Customisable Mii Fighter amiibo Could Be On The Way
What if somebody out there made amiibo voodoo dolls with these... Yikes!
Re: Splatoon Hype Brings Squirt Guns and Manga
Well I already preordered at GameStop so I think I'm good with the Smash Bros costumes.
Re: Review: Paper Mario (Wii U eShop / Nintendo 64)
Why does Nintendo Life like to use fanart (for the wrong game btw) and not credit the original artist?
Re: Splatoon Global Testfire is Confirmed for One More Round
Ugh, seriously only one hour? Yet again I have plans at that exact time...
Oh well, at least I already preordered it, but I'm dying to play it.
Re: Combat Core Is What You'd Get If Super Smash Bros. And Power Stone Had A Baby
Made by one person or a full dev team, it still looks boring.
Re: Poll: Did The Splatoon Global Testfire Hit Its Targets?
Busy weekend for me, downloaded it but never had the chance to play it.
Re: Play 8-Bit Retro Squid Games While You Wait For An Online Match In Splatoon
I only have the inkling girl preordered right now, maybe I'll need to get a boy and a squid too...

Hey, I can eat squid if I want to...
Re: Nintendo Classics in the Running for Inaugural World Video Game Hall of Fame Honour
Does anyone remember the definition of 'fame'? How could you call Angry Birds or Minecraft anything but famous or popular?
Re: Playtonic's Project Ukulele Becomes Yooka-Laylee, Wii U Release Confirmed
These designs are pretty awful and lacking, but I'm sure the game itself should be very good. Not backing anything yet, but count me interested!
Re: The Mechs of Xenoblade Chronicles X Are Named "Skells" in its Western Release
I think I like Dolls more, but the name doesn't really matter.

@Zerodactyl Thank you! You did fantastic and I had a lot of fun!
Re: Play: Take On 200cc and DLC Racing in Mario Kart 8 With Nintendo Life
I'm in the DLC tournament now (Joe) Good luck people!
Re: Video: Nintendo Shows Off amiibo Tap: Nintendo's Greatest Bits as it Launches in Japan
When this comes out to the West I'll definitely try it out. It's still not good incentive for someone who's uninterested in amiibos, but as someone who's actively collecting them, this is a fun bonus!
Re: Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem’s Character Designer Speaks Of New Challenge
Well at least he's honest!
Re: Gallery: These Project X Zone 2 Screens Give a Nice Sample of the Madness Coming in Monolith Soft's RPG
To everyone requesting Sonic, Pac-Man or etc: They said that they wanted to use humanoid characters only.
I'm glad to see that Dante has Vergil as a partner now, but I'm hoping that Demitri didn't completely get the boot. Maybe they'll pair him up with Morrigan and Chun-Li will have a new partner, maybe Cammy!

Re: Rumour: Project X Zone 2: Brave New World Heading to 3DS
Insta-buy if it comes to NA.

yeah I'm gonna need at least ten of these
Re: Gallery: Yarn Yoshi Is Just Too Darn Cute
Honestly this is the only time I've though Yoshi was cute.
Re: Eiji Aonuma Explains Why Tingle is Such a Peculiar Character
@ThomasBW84 Really appreciate your comments at the end of the article, thank you!
@HylianJowi Thank you for your comments here too, I agree completely!
Anyways, Tingle is awesome.
Re: Gold Mario amiibo Set to Shine as Walmart Exclusive in North America
I thought these were fake, but I'm glad they aren't — don't need to bother repainting any Mario amiibos now!
Re: Card Format amiibo Confirmed to be Heading our Way This Year
Re: Nintendo to Introduce Free Software With NES and SNES Experiences Activated Through amiibo
This is definitely going to render a few amiibos slightly more useless, like Shulk.
Re: New Details Emerge on Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition
This kind of makes me think Pokemon Battle Trozei, but with Mario.
Re: Rumour: Rayman Could be Planned as DLC in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS
@WaveBoy Agreed, I'd prefer a retro-styled Simon.
Re: This Articulated Skyward Sword Link Toy Should be Worth a Lot of Rupees
I can see they finally made a CD-i Link figure!
