@Jimtaro To be fair, Shin'en has practically been Nintendo-exclusive for a while, now. Any big Nintendo fan knows that these guys always praise Nintendo and their hardware.
My guess is that FAST Racing Neo was really costly to produce, which is partially backed up by the lengthy development time. As such, this bit of PR reads more to me like they're reminding people, "Don't forget to buy the game, by the way!" They're putting their trust in the community to back up the online hype, but they still need to remind people in general that the game exists.
So I do hope this game to sell relatively well. But I want a new trailer soon.
I certainly hope so. My fiancé and I voted for him and Shantae, respectively. Shovel Knight would be a perfect fit, and assuming his amiibo won't work on any other game (Mario Maker?), I'll probably just leave him in the box. Speaking of amiibo, wouldn't his figure come out much later than the DLC character? Ryu and Roy aren't out, yet, and they're only just getting to Mewtwo and Lucas.
I wonder if he'd have a voice actor or just sound effects from the original game.
"There's undoubted fun to be had online." Done. That's enough for me, as it's the multiplayer options that have me wanting the game in the first place.
Not the first nor the last time I will make fun of you people who need an arbitrary number to form an opinion. Read the review, for goodness sake, then decide for yourselves.
@CaptainToad6786 Maybe-maybe. Importing really isn't the worst thing, anyway, although I paid a pretty penny for the OSTs of Virtua Fighter 5 and Baten Kaitos.
Had they released here, it'd probably have been such a limited release that I'd have paid around fifty bucks for each of them, anyway.
Man, I'm bummed about Fatal Frame not getting a physical release (at least, not yet). I hope that they do a disc copy down the line, because it just doesn't seem right to restrict such a big title to being download-only.
I'm glad that Star Fox is coming before December, at least.
"It must have seemed like an exotic diversion from the original..." Not really. Not at the time. In hindsight, it seems like an oddball entry to the series, but at the time, it was just Mario 2. Zelda II played differently, too. Really, sequels should be more like this. Not all the time, of course, but it'd sure be nice to see something extraordinarily different, once in a while.
"A few hours"? Land is along the shortest Mario games ever. I still love it, the music and all.
Anyone who might like a video game rap-over full of swears and won't mind some casual misogyny should look up "Action Adventure Super Mario Land" by 8-Bit Duane.
I love the Wuu. It, the GameCube, and Super NES all make for my three favourite Nintendo home consoles. I have a soft spot for the Saturn and Dreamcast as well, but we're just talking Nintendo, here.
@TheActualGold It's only odd in the context of Vegeta's character. Pretty sure he continued wearing it throughout Resurrection F.
Come to think of it, Whis is the first actual, direct teacher that Vegeta has ever had. Even when he was a kid, they just set some Saibamen on him, then decided he was good enough to start wrecking intergalactic civilizations.
There's no hint that he had any sort of mentor. I don't think Nappa counts, and King Vegeta has never been shown being even remotely close to the Prince. It'll be interesting if Dragon Ball Super explores this angle.
"Small, incremental changes may not be worth a whole new release." Unless we're talking about New Super Mario Bros. Then small, incremental changes per release is exactly how it's done.
3DS, if I do pick this one up. The visuals don't look to be complimented by the resolution upgrade. Animation is very stiff, but the game still seems reasonably interesting.
In your face, K. Rool fans! He didn't actually make it in. The Chrom Mii actually looks good. Don't care about the new-but-not-really stages, in all honesty. YouTube uploads, cool, yeh. Whatevs.

@HopeNForever I'm not entirely sure why, but it does feel more fitting on the Wuu.

Re: Enter a Crazy Code to Unlock a New Character in the Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden Demo
Yeah, it's fun, but the CPU must be on a super easy setting. I don't much care for the command lists all being more or less identical, either.
Still planning on getting the game, though.
Re: Enter a Crazy Code to Unlock a New Character in the Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden Demo
Well! Now I know that the demo is out. If you'll excuse me.

Tournies, however, I am so down for.
Re: Muramasa: The Demon Blade And Trauma Team Hitting The Japanese Wii U eShop Next Month
I really liked Muramasa. I mean, I already have it on Wii, so with minimal space remaining on my Wuu, I see no sense in downloading it.
Still, hope lots of hack-n'-slash fans pick it up. It's a gorgeous experience, to be sure.
