@Yhdekskymmenen Discord can be pretty great for meeting a bunch of people that play games you like. Just find a server for some of your favourite games and then chat to others about it. I've met some really nice people on there!
If Nintendo made the Switch discord compatible, it would be amazing. Voice and text chats, plus they could make some 'official' discord servers that you could join for specific game series.
I've basically given up on the use of other social media now lole
Hmm... At first I was worried that the gameplay won't be like the main series games, but after some thought I think I like this idea more. It will presumably shorten battles for quick bursts and it shouldn't detract from the value of the main series gameplay mechanics, so I won't get burnt out from the turn-based gameplay by the time Sun and Moon comes out.
And when the SA-X appears in that jungle area after defeating the spider boss (Yakuza)... I remember being super freaked out to the point where I turned my GBA off. The timing and thrilling music used is perfect!
I happened to read this article while listening to an Earthbound Smiles and Tears remix. Very touching. I am 16 and Iwata has fuelled my inspiration to start learning computer programming and start making my own video game. Without a doubt, I will not forget the impact he has left on my life. Thank you.
@c1pher_c0mplet Give it a go! Playing with random people is really fun! The only times it is frustrating is when they have a poor connection, or when you struggle to convey the correct method for the puzzles through the icons. The icons do work very well for the most part, though.
Only things that puts me off in this game are the lyrics in the soundtrack and the lack of the playable character's voice acting during cut scenes. This game looks amazing! Really couldn't care less about the absence of Japanese voice acting and the insignificant censorship changes.
Dammit, this is going to happen during my study leave from school. Now what am I supposed to do all day on Monday without Mario Maker, Smash Bros. For Glory and Monster Hunter 4U online?!
Well, looks like I'll have to get the black New3DS as well. Man, I already put off buying a New3DS from November last year to wait for the black's release, but I couldn't resist when Majora's Mask and MH4U came out so I got the white one. Ah well.
@Whopper744 Convince some friends to buy MH4U and play together! I didn't really like the MH3U demo when I first played it. Then the MH4U demo came out which has online. I played with my cousin which was very fun and convinced me to buy it. The first couple of hours suck (just gathering stuff and hunting annoying small monsters) but the amount of satisfaction that you get from taking down your first Gore Magala, etc. is amazing. So much content and customization. Go for it!
Wow! I just finished telling someone on Miiverse the other day that this wouldn't happen, because they needed Xenoblade Chronicles 3D to push the New 3DS. I'm genuinely surprised!
I only just got the game on Monday and I checked a tutorial online on how to get the Link equipment and realised that it will probably be a few weeks of playing before I can get anywhere near there... and you have to complete the 3 virtues quest ~5 times for the full set! Jeez!
@Superstick Well it IS for AUS/NZ, so this is to be expected XD. I live in Auckland so it would be cool to go to this. Now it's time to unleash my ultimate double spore spammin' combo! Now if only I could be bothered/find the time to ev train my Breloom...
Some people obviously don't understand the time it would take to do even this... making custom art, a few of the 3D models, making all of the animations, applying the music and sfx, writing the code and compiling it and whatnot must take a long time.
I tried to make some test games on Unity (it's free), which was a really great idea, especially because I didn't know a thing about programming.

Re: Google Trends Data Demonstrates Interest in Nintendo Switch
Not as many people would have been using the internet to search for preorders back in the Wii days, either.

Re: Review: Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky (DS)
@DrDingus The game has recently been released on the Wii U eShop as a Virtual Console game, so I think those games get a re-review.

Haha, looks just like what my cousins and I would do together!

An animated movie based on the original Xenoblade Chronicles, please! That would kick ass!

Re: Talking Point: Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS Set a Standard That'll Be Tough to Follow
Sakurai most certainly deserves a good long break. His team has done miracles with this game!
Re: Video: Sceptile Has Been Confirmed as a Fighter in Pokkén Tournament
Awesome! Sceptile is my second favourite Pokemon, after Rayquaza. Though I doubt Rayquaza would actually make it due to size constraints.
Re: Nintendo Confirms Details for the Super Smash Bros. Direct
I really want Professor Layton, but then again any character approved by Mr. Sakurai is a character approved by me!
