I'm pleased that Nintendo is wise when it comes to paid DLC. By making the full game and then creating additional content after the game is released, it really feels like you have the complete package without requiring extras. Having said that, I'm in the mindset that Animal Crossing: New Leaf most definitely does not need, and is perfect without, paid DLC. The game is so huge that I've barely scratched the surface!
And this coming from a guy who is near-obsessed with Skylanders!
@takyon98: That's the exact impression I got from his tweet.
A friend of mine traded me two Pokémon Eggs which were apparently bred from "Bad Egg" Pokémon (My first clue was one of the Eggs being in a Safari Ball), and they ended up scrambling my PC boxes...uh...pardon the pun.
I can't even imagine the torment poor Yoshi must undergo when he lays that egg! It must be like pushing the Martian moon of Phobos through an opening the size of an acorn! >.<
I am so pumped for SWAP Force! I've been playing through Adventure and have Giants on layby ready for when I get my Wii U, plus I've been tracking down the characters on my list (I'm limiting my collection to a fraction of the toys), so it's needless to say I'm looking forward to playing as Magna Zone...wait, isn't that a Pokémon?
@Rumbler: You haven't encountered my quirky sense of humour, have you? I know full well that Mario is in it (Why wouldn't he be? He's Nintendo's most iconic character). I was just making a little joke there.
@SnackBox: I can only imagine the tens of thousands of oddball requests he must find on social media!
Possible example: PLZ PUT CRASH BANDYCOOT IN SMASH BROS
Another possible example: Smash Bros. won't be complete without Jake the Dog!
@bro2dragons @bngrybt: They'd most likely have bundled some kind of shoulder button attachment with the game, calling it the "Super Control Plus" or something like that.
Looks very tasty. On a mac n' cheese level of tastiness.
I hope that Dino-Rang, Warnado, Sunburn, Wham-Shell, Camo, Ghost Roaster, Voodood and Boomer finally receive reposes in Swap Force. It's so hard to find many of them on the after-market for a reasonable amount. I only intend to get one version of each character, excluding a few overlaps from series one, so it may as well be newer versions. Make it happen, Activision!
I'm currently downloading Animal Crossing at the time of writing this post, so if this feature is categorised as "nifty" I just might give it a go. It'll be a good excuse to dust off my seldom-used Twitter feed.
@steamhare: Technically it's the seventh, since Jigglypuff is (presumably) Normal/Fairy; Girafarig is Normal/Psychic; Meloetta is Normal/Psychic (in Aria Forme) or Normal/Fighting (in Pirouette Forme); and Helioptile is Electric/Normal. And that's not counting the oodles of Normal/Flying Pokémon!
Customise our Trainers like never before? So...customise them at all then?
To me, Clauncher looks more like a yabby than a crab.
And as for Talonflame...I think I just might be catching a Fletchling for my team! You know, if I don't see any other Fire or Flying Pokémon I'd like to add instead.
It doesn't really help my progress in StreetPass Mii Plaza since I live in neither North America nor Europe. I live in the second-most-forgotten continent, Australia.

Re: Site News: Nintendo Life - AKA Mario & Luigi - Runs for GamesAid
Couldn't you take it in turns, with half the run in one outfit and the other half in the other outfit? That's the only fair way to resolve it.
Except...where would you change in the streets of Edinburgh? I shoulda thought that through...
Wait! I got it! Since it's the Year of Luigi, why not both be Luigi?

Re: Nintendo - Donkey Kong Series is Adaptable to Fresh Ideas

@MadAdam81: Do you have a 3DS? If so, the 3DS version is only $60.

Ah, it's okay. No problem.

Re: Capcom Teases More Mega Virtual Console Releases
So what's the remake suggested in the article's title? Mega Man 8?
Actually, Capcom should consider Mega Man Powered Up for 3DS, perhaps with the sequels that have yet to come.

I have yet to play online with friends, but I'm looking forward to it.
Which reminds me... @bezerker99, would you like to meet up sometime soon?
Re: Not All Super Smash Bros. Characters Will Make The Leap To Wii U And 3DS
Oh no! Don't tell me Mario's getting the boot!
As for newcomers...how about Balloon Fighter? It's about time he made a comeback. There's also a good chance of Zoroark making an appearance.
But the one question I want answered: will Scizor ever make the cut? Oh, yes, I went there!

Side-side-note: It looks like there's a lot to excite me once I pick up my shiny new white Wii U.
Re: Nintendo of Australia Launches 3DS Free Game Promotion
Oh, for the love of cheesecake... This is not what I had in mind when I said Australia needed a 3DS promotion, Nintendo!

Re: EA Will "Jump Back In" If Wii U Becomes A "Viable Platform"
Couldn't lack of game sales also be attributed to the game not being very good?
Re: Pay What You Want For The Mighty Switch Force! 2 OST

@Mahe: Of course! Everybody loves trilogies!
Re: Pokémon X & Y Trailer Shows Off New Gym Leader and Battles
So different Flabébé have differently-coloured flowers? I smell a new Spinda gimmick.
Re: Pay What You Want For The Mighty Switch Force! 2 OST
Oh, I get it! Patricia Wagon! Patty Wagon! Sounds like "paddy-wagon"! Clever!
One question: is the first game's OST also available?
Okay, two questions: will Patty be a paramedic in the third game, to complete the "police fire ambulance" triad?
Re: Super Smash Bros. Won't Feature Cross-Platform Play Between Wii U and 3DS
WOO! Character customisation is in! I'm one happy camper!
Re: Sakurai: New Super Smash Bros. To Strike A Balance Between Hardcore And Casual
@jedisquidward: That would be the ideal option. Think of the ways you could customise your Mii.
Re: Sakurai: New Super Smash Bros. To Strike A Balance Between Hardcore And Casual
Customisable characters that can be upgraded in the 3DS version then brought onto the Wii U would be a good addition.
Re: June CoroCoro Reveals New Pokémon and Rival Details
