I know little to nothing about this game except it's apparently very good, so I'm very much looking forward to playing it when it finally comes out! Plus, we need a Nintendo Direct now please thank you!
Honestly, I'd say that's a very good video! It's concise enough, yet explains enough vital information, for anyone's tastes! So, it seems like a perfectly fine informative video to me!
I'm still waiting for Professor Layton or Yarn Kirby! Both of them could gave properly unique move-sets if done right, and Yarn Kirby would be completely different to normal Kirby!
I've had a great time with this game, even if I am absolutely God-awful at it. I've invested 14 hours into it without spending a single penny of real-word money, and I'm currently stuck on stage 120! That says a lot more about my skill, though, or lack of it. I'm really enjoying all the new content they add, too - that Keldeo is tough! If even I, who hates free-to-play games, is having a blast, then that says something!
Well, look at that. It seems Nintendo UK have finally woken up from their 9-year slumber and realised that DS Lite accessories aren't on everyone's wish-lists. I took a look through the games and wow, the 3DS offerings pale compared to the Wii U ones! I guess I'll just have to wait and see if anything better's added at some point in the future...
@MysteriousBebsi My friends do enjoy pointing out hoe massively ignorant I am of anything not game-related! Another NL example - I didn't know who Wil Weaton(?) was until he was brought up on here...
@MasterBlaster Yeah, I do indeed own a TV, but I know absolutely nothing about TV shows or films, let alone the people in them! If Happy Gilmore was a thing he was in, I've at least heard of that!
@sinalefa Would it be bad if I said I also had that idea once as well? Perhaps as a Mario Kart/Mario Party crossover game, where you could play a couple of rounds of both to go to your final score, with elements of one game impacting the other!
I found Kyogre pretty easy, really! I'm about halfway through the main game and I got it on my third try, even though it was at 25%! I was very tempted to use one of the free Mega Starts on it, really.
I'm still disappointed at the whopping one date in the UK. It could easily come to places other than London, right? For example, Cardiff. That would be a ton closer to some of us (myself included) and I'm pretty sure it does have the facilities needed. Ah, well. I can always watch these videos and listen the 25th Anniversary CD on loop!
Man, those textures really aren't looking too hot, are they? Still, props to the developers for squeezing it into the 3DS! That must've taken a lot of work!
Am I the only person who isn't a fan of this update? The two things added both feel like unnecessary clutter to a system that was fine as it was. If I want new friends, I'll go and look for new friends on the communities I post to, I don't need the system telling me. ...but that's just me. I'm probably in the minority here.
@Tobias95 Wait, there are fans of Tingle? They exist? Nah, just kidding! He actually looks very fun to play as, and using the Fierce Deity Mask for Young Link is an inspired idea!
I noticed this through total chance today, and bought it in a heartbeat! I love the soundtrack to ALBW, so I was very happy indeed! But a 4-week delivery time?! Ah.
Of course they'd do that, it's Argos. Just like every other company in Britain, they couldn't care less about Nintendo and just didn't do the research.
The fact that Sega dared to release this game so utterly unfinished is nigh-on unforgivable, but a least they're making SOME efforts to improve it. I'll guess it won't make the entire experience any more enjoyable, though.
What's with all the harsh comments? This is a marriage proposal - an incredibly important and uplifting moment in anyone's life! Sure, it not be "news", per se, but it's still nice and heartwarming to see. Congratulations to the both of them!
I'm not gonna be getting a New 3DS, unfortunately. Unlike the difference between the DS and the DSi, there just isn't enough here to get me excited or warrant a purchase, not even Xenoblade. I could get the Wii original if needs be. I just don't wanna spend an exotrtionate amount of money on what is essentially a console I already own, just so I can buy I game I could get anyway.
This has got to stop. Sure, every gaming developer starts somewhere and there's always gonna be bad games at the start of a developer's life - even Nintendo did it - but this does not belong on the Wii U eShop. It's supposed to be a place where one can buy a quality downloadable game, something that looks like it belongs on a quality system. The eShop is slowly turning into a land of shovelware or things with the quality of an alpha that absolutely should not be publicly purchasable. Nintendo really need to step up their quality control, for the good of the community.
First of all, I don't understand how having any playable Nintendo games or demos on a touchscreen device would work (it clearly won't happen, like you said, but still...), and I don't see why people would want it. Second, I've barely any idea what the guy in that advert was actually saying! He was just mumbling the entire thing!
While it does look very nice and intriguing and in nice shiny HD, I feel like they're trying too hard to make it look realistic, which a Mario game should absolutely not be. Eh, we'll see. If it ever gets off the ground.
Actually, I'm pretty sure the thing about Wario being Mario's childhood friend has been touched upon in other media, such as the super-obscure old Mario comics! And that about Peach's white magic was mentioned in the original Super Mario Bros.'s booklet as the main reason Bowser kidnapped her! The more you know...
I chose Diamond/Pearl, with Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire coming a VERY close second in my mind. I love everything about DP. Literally everything.
If we're interested in worst, then Black 2/White 2 for me. I found the whole of Gen. V to be incredible bland, and to me, B2W2 took the remaining good bits of BW (good story, Reshiram and Zekrom on their own) and made it even more dull. Sorry Game Freak. Sorry internet.
Me and my friends made up a Zelda 12 Days of Christmas a few days back, and it went like this:
12 Cuccos killing 11 sword swings 10 Gorons dancing 9 dungeons for delving 8 Triforce shards 7 years of waiting 6 Faces of Evil 5 Golden Skulltulas 4 swords for Toon Link 3 alternate timelines 2 Octoroks And an Ocarina of Time!
Fate-change o'clock. That made me laugh more than it should have! Looks awesome, but unfortunately, I've got better things to spend my money on right now!
@Joruus_Cbaoth You can't really call Smash 3DS a 'piece of trash'. Melee and Brawl weren't exactly perfect in terms of balancing... Meta Knight, anyone?
Everyone's going on about which face plates to get (and I'll admit, the Smash Bros. one is pretty cool) but I'm getting none. Sorry Nintendo, but if I said it once, I'll say it again: I'm not spending that much money on a console I already own. If I was getting one, I would get the Smash Bros. face plates, though!
The American trophy for the Pokémon Trainer says "in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, he wanted to be the very best - like no-one ever was. To smash them was his real test, to launch them was his cause!" Pretty awesome!
Oh, that Classic Mode credits theme really sets the nostalgia going! Smash 4, Brawl and Melee themes together? Beautiful! (Also, is there a bit of Smash 64 in there, or is that just me?)
