I'm actually really enjoying this series so far! A fair few things I never knew before! @TysonOfTime Why do you have a bias against Caddicarus? Not accusing or anything, just curious!
@rjejr Thank goodness! I thought it was gonna be yet another exampke of 'Glover's Unpopular Opinions'! Actually, using it as a Wii U controller would be awesome!
The thing is, despite the fairly substantial amount of new stuff, it's not THAT different to a normal 3DS to convince me to buy the New one.. But because they're making exclusive games for it, that sucks because of my views on it. I want to play Xenoblade 3D, but I don't want to fork out £95 on what's basically a console I already own.
Sorry Nintendo, I'm gonna take a lot more convincing,
@ShanaUnite The website I saw (I can't remember which one) zoomed in really close, and you can actually tell it's him! A back view, though, so it's kinda debatable.
As I read somewhere else, if you look at Pikachu at the 'character collage' bit about 1 minute in, you can just about see Ganondorf off-screened for a second! You have to look closely, but he's there!
I'm not actually entirely against this! Sure, it may be a bit shouty, but it gets the necessary points across well, especially for kids and it is (dare I say it?) a little bit funny!
@Serebii Yeah, I remembered that just after I posted my comment! It's gonna be one heck of a wall, with it's relatively high HP and Defences in the first place! Maybe I should re-think what I said...
@ModestFan93 I'll second that! In all honesty, I haven't actually played Sonic '06, but I've seen the Game Grumps play it, and that's enough for me!
Back on Sonic Boom, I'm actually really looking forward to playing Shattered Crystal - it looks super fun to me, and I don't mind the new character designs!
It's awesome to have Meta Knight back! It seems like the balancing of other characters has been changed around for Smash 4, so maybe he won't be quite as OP as he was in Brawl?
Honestly, with an attitude like this, I think we'd be better off without it. Holding a 20-year grudge just sounds childish, especially considering how well Nintendo and Sega have worked together recently.
It looks a little too much like Fruit Ninja to me! The three modes almost have identical names, let alone gameplay, and the art design and even type-font look similar!This may very well be a coincidence, and it sounds like a great game in its own right, but I dunno...
@RIC616 My six-year-old self actually took really well to Pokémon when I played it first which, looking back, I'm actually very surprised about! It must've made an impression on me, as I'm still playing today!
I do love the basically identical review for the lat several games in the series - what's the point in saying something new when you're playing the exact same game over and over again?
I'd never seen a second of the cartoon before today, and the only thing I can take out of this is that I never want to hear Pac-Man speak ever again. Seriously, Pac-Man, just stick to doing what you do best...
I really want to get all of them as soon as possible, even if I don't have a Wii U yet (so I'd have no use for them) and I don't have enough money! Honestly, these look awesome!
I'm English, and a teenager, and I had no idea then Master System sold so well over here! It actually really surprised me! In a related note, I found a used copy of Teddy Boy for the Master System in a charity shop recently, with no price. I'm really regretting not buying it, even if I couldn't play it!
I love this! I can't think of the Dark World music without thinking about its version with lyrics by DemonTomatoDave on YouTube. Seriously, look it up. It's awesome!
Every time new information is revealed, my hype levels shoot higher than I ever expect it to be possible! Also, call me a grump, but I instantly hate those various Pikachu costumes. Especially Pikachu Ph.D.
@xj220_afiles They were announced as if to say they probably will happen in the future. This wasn't new news, though, as we knew it from the Wii U's launch!
I'm not too sure about the new designs for Brendan and May. Maybe it's nostalgia screaming at me, but I prefer the old designs... for now. I'm very much looking forward to Mega Sceptile, though, as I'll probably be choosing Treecko. Not sure how Grass/Dragon will work, though!
It looks like GameXplain has just re-uploaded the Wii U version's insight video, guys! I guess it can be put back up on this page...?
UPDATE: I just noticed that the re-uploaded version of the video no longer has gameplay footage, just screenshots. It's close enough, I guess.
I actually have Banjo-Pilot! I bought it when I was too young to know what Mario Kart was, so I loved it! Actually, I didn't know what Banjo-Kazooie was either. Oh well.

Oh my God, that Gourmet Race one. It's so beautiful.
Re: Video: This New Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS Trailer is Battle Hardened
3:32 That is one jazzin' new remix! I eonder if there will be tons of remixes of the main theme, like in Brawl?

Also, yes, I need this game. Instantly!

Re: Footage and Details Emerge of Mega Audino in Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire
Honestly, I see no reason for Mega Audino to exist, but perhaps I'll change my mind after actually playing the game!

Re: Video: Take Another Look at Ganondorf and Adventure Mode In Hyrule Warriors
Well, including the two pieces of artwork at the end, I counted six Ganondorf smirks in the first video alone!

Re: Poll: Which is Your Favourite Super Smash Bros. Challenger So Far?
I needed to vote Kirby, as he was my main in Brawl! I know it's very likely that this will change, but eh. Who cares?

Re: Video: Mario Kart 8 Isn't The Only New Mario Kart Game You Can Play In 2014
