@scamander #5 is the kicker for me. Got it.

@sketchturner that's what I'm curious about...

@BlubBloob agreed. Dance music today is often so 1Dimensional. 2, at best. It doesn't offer the same kind of depth as other approaches. Oh well

Nintendo would have to hook me in to get the console on launch day.

I'd be really skeptical to see this launch by next Fall, though.

Definitely a Western look. It'd be interesting if one iteration of Link was like this... though... he'd be a very different kind of hero, I'd assume.

Zelda would be grand.
Or something for the Metroid anniversary
(think they'd even mention it's Metroid's 30th?)

I thoroughly look forward to this installation of the series

I enjoyed it. Not an amazing game, but light fun when playing with casuals.

I have Xenosaga, have yet to play it. I have yet to finish Xenoblade Chronicles. Amazing game... Xenoblade X is already preordered and my body is ready.

@rjejr Kyrie eleison...

@rjejr no... please don't call it a 4DS. Once anyone even alludes to the fourth dimension, I lose all respect [even if that's not what the "4" stands for, it's what the 3 stood for]

Watched it before going to bed last night. Norm does an amazing job with these documentaries and I'm glad he decided to take his time rather than rush a tribute when it was considered relevant to the non-Nintendo community.

Being someone who has revamped through his PS2 library recently, I find it really hard to take someone seriously when they say SFZ has PS2 graphics.

I do agree with @OorWullie — watching the game on the eshop on the big screen did clear it up

Real question: will this soundtrack be a rip off of another movie's soundtrack like Steamworld Dig's

Don't get me wrong, I loved SWD. The soundtrack was just a blatant steal, though

Well. After seeing it back to back, yeah... This is disappointing :/ I'm curious to why such a long wait. Just to build hype for the new game plus rally the 3019th anniversary? Well I'm still getting it but Mer.

Curious how much they can change by the release. I doubt much

I truly wonder what it means: it will transfer data to the next game......................

...my meta mind is perculating. Doubtful but think this next game will be a direct sequel? (Mind you, I have yet to finish TP)

This was a sad disappointment

@JubilifeRival MM is a classic. People often argue which is the best Zelda game—3 names that are always brought out are OoT, ALttP, and MM. MM was just brilliant. TP doesn't have the same classic feel—I have yet to beat it (I stopped at the sky temple and then downloaded Skyrim. Bad idea...) and I hear the ending is quite wonderful. I think the game mechanic just didnt' stand out as much as the masks or the ocarina in games past. That said, I'm definitely purchasing this one!

And I don't get people's hang ups abotu the visuals. Yes, it isn't the best polished HD version we could get—fully agreed—but there is a difference. Run TP on an HD screen and you'll be very disappointed with the graphics.

@sketchturner Happy birthday honey! I got you this game? Never heard of it? Trust me, it'll be amazing

That's much longer of a wait than expected, but I'm still excited for the game. The visuals didn't look drastically improved, but the nuances were appreciated. I do wonder if they changed stuff about what one can do in game.

Also, I'm STILL not a fan of the music. Sigh... it sounds way too Marvel-esque

Bumps my question:

Is there typically cross play between systems?

No for San Diego? Guess not then.

I don't know how I feel about these performances. Most are arranged mediocrely, having the main melody with stereotypical transitions. On occasion, you get a wonderful arrangement, though, that makes the concert worth it — typically they're in the second half. I just want better arrangements...

...this makes me excited.

Though, does anyone know from other iterations: can a console play on the same server as another console or a PC? (e.g., PC with X360) Or are they only compatible within its own console?

I hate Bigley

I don't know what the degrees of difference needs to be for a logo, but I would qualify that the two look different enough from each other. In the one sense, I can't say this is silly, but these kind of lawsuits do get tiresome.

Happy birthday, NL!

@Xenocity My concern has been 80% alleviated.
I'm stoked.
Still am concerned if my friends will bite, but the survival game sounds amazing fosho

So... beyond a Mario Party like game, what is this game exactly?

I'm... skeptical. I pre-ordered this because I was looking for new games with friends to play locally on the Wii U. A lot of my friends enjoyed the Hudson Soft Mario Party (gh to the latest iterations). This... looks promising, but I am concerned that my friends may not bite. They aren't Nintendo lovers like I am (though they aren't haters either by any means. They play SSB4 with me and love that franchise). I'm just concerned.

@russellohh Haha I didn't discover Steam until later in my life. Granted, I didn't fall in love with gaming again until my senior year of undergrad — by then Blockbuster was bye bye

@russellohh hahah I remember Blockbuster only during the 16-bit era, back when I wasn't aware of other venues to rent games (back then, I would borrow my Dad's coworker's systems, so buying wasn't an option). I remember around the N64 days the prices getting too high for my liking but boy that's horrendous.

@ThomasBW84 I would hope that it goes far. The pitch for this project tickled my ears greatly. I don't know how much I can help out but I aim to at least put in $10

@KTT I eventually will get to all the games, but thanks for the recommendation

@serebii I still haven't beat Y. After playing locally with a friend, I realised how inefficient my playing approach was and felt too far behind to understand/fix it

@vincentgoodwin when you say Superstar Saga, you mean Superstar, ya? That was my first and cherished Kirby game.

I'll try out Mass Attack then. Thanks

I loved Kirby so much as a kid. Which modern installment would you recommend me trying? ("Modern" meaning GameCube and beyond (laughs) )

I love the idea a lot. This may be answered in the main site but I'm a pleb who has work in 2 mins: will this expand to other authors and topics in years tio come, thus creating a franchise if I may?

I... I think it's a cool franchise, but me sigh, I haven't the time to get engulfed in another game like this. I'll probably do what I usually do: in a half year, visit blockbuster and rent it. Oh wait...

I only played Red for the longest time. Because of middle school, I didn't follow gaming as much as my childhood, so I only played what friends had (and friends would never share portables for whatever reason). Then comes two years ago when I picked up Pokemon Y--first Pokemon game I decided to go through since Gen 1. I was utterly lost with so many new ideas.

The question I propose: should I go back to Gen 2 and work my way up to this latest gen? Or should I focus my time on other games, work, grad school, real people, life, etc.?

@Yorumi Is that official? It sure does feel like one, but I remember at E3 Miyamoto kind of beating around the bush, saying it wasn't a reboot but it wasn't a continuation of the series.

Meanwhile, my friend just wants to know if Krystal is on it

After watching this video, I'd be open to buying this game solely for the music. Lovely

@zeppray Sall good

@zeppray that's the most oversimplistic thing I've read here. This is an issue of principles, not consumerism. Taking your idea into analogy, I love Nestles candy but cannot support them as a company for their water exploitation. I will ban their product but complain/protest strategically/openly because I love their product and hope they change.

These talks about culture and "censorship" need to be argued. Age of consent in Japan is vastly differe,t than in the West and it is completely understandable that NOA be wary about a 13 year old in a rather provocative skin. Should or culture change to be okay with Japan's or should it more sexually conservative? These are VERY valid questions that make us who we are.

Evidence shows that most people here don't know what "censored" means.

@Megumi because he's too much fun to get angry at

@DarthNocturnal yes, which is why I'm not buying the "blue ocean" idea just yet. I'm just saying that Facebook isn't as king as Pachter makes it out to be — Nintendo could possibly break through

@Lord_Redwood to an extent, I agree — there's a reason why Google+ fell to the wayside. Even though the interface was arguably better than Facebook's, the latter had to strong of a hold.

That said, people today are a bit tired of what's on Facebook. I hear many in my generation (21-30) saying Twitter or Instagram or whatever is the new Facebook. People are disenchanted by the facade, ugly opinion posts (especially during this US election), or frivolous garbage that "friends" post on Facebook. People are looking for a new satiating platform. I don't know if Miitomo is it, but it shouldn't be neglected as Pachter believes. I'm curious to see where this goes.

I'm a minority, but I mentioned to friends that I'm not getting any games for my phone, even if by Nintendo. I don't want every waking hour consumed by games. This app, however, I'm quite open to getting. In very intrigued

This may serve as conversation starters — I just hope that Nintendo doesn't encourage conversations via online solely.

@crimsontadpoles they did mention that one could eat apples off the trees.

That would be cool, though I would personally love for more interactions with townspeople. I loved Majora's Mask, where every person had their own role in Clocktown. If they could bring multiple towns like that to a grander scale, that would be amazing.

That all said, survival or my idea isn't really a "twist" on open world. People have done that before. I'm curious what would be innovated of an open world
