They need to make it so that your purchases aren't tied to the console. If your Wii U breaks, you can't just get rid of it, buy a new one, then redownload your stuff. You need to send it straight to Nintendo and pay them to repair it. Then when you get it back, you have to buy a SECOND Wii U while keeping your previous one and transfer the data to the new one. THEN you can get rid of the old one. Same process for the 3DS. It's stupid. -_-
@Hy8ogen There aren't many big games on it but there's plenty of great indies. I don't think many people see it as worth the price though. For $200 you could just get a PS3. Which has a far better selection of games.
@kensredemption This does look better than past Mario Parties to me. I'm still not sure though. If I do recall, isn't it the one where all players work together to get away from Bowser or something? Because I would actually prefer that rather than the standard gameplay. That's just frustrating. Lol.
I hate how luck based Mario Party games are. No matter how good I do in the mini games, all someone has to do is step on special power up or something and it drastically changes the way the game goes. They either get rewarded big time by teleporting right next to the star or taking my stars. -_-
@midnafanboy Isn't that kind of the whole point of upgrading from your regular 3DS though? Why would you even bother getting it if you're just going to get the same games you would on a regular 3DS?
I wanted the standard version. But since it isn't coming, I just wanted to get the Majora's Mask edition. And I can't even have that. Thanks a lot, Nintendo.
I avoided getting the New 3DS at all since the XL is the only version coming to US. And I do not want the XL this time. I'll just stick with the black XL I already have and keep buying games for it. Unless they announce a brand new Pokemon game exclusive to New 3DS. Then I would have to get one as soon as possible... Pokemon is so addictive. sigh
Amiibo aren't really worth a purchase to me anymore. I wasted my time and money hunting these things down and buying just two of these things brings me up to about $30. I used them in Mario Kart 8 and Smash Bros and I'm not really enjoying these. Leveling up my amiibo on Smash sucks. I tried to put my Little Mac vs lvl 9 and he loses almost every single match. It's just pathetic watching him get destroyed. He won't even win at level 30. And as for Mario Kart, the suits are nice, but I don't really use my Mii character so I don't care much for that. I'm fine with amiibo unlocking bits of content like clothes or whatever but it should NEVER unlock a game mode or any other major thing. Nintendo should not force you to buy the things to play part of your game. I don't care much for Mario Party 10 and I probably won't get it anytime soon but the amiibo mode in that game is exactly what they should not be doing!
@JaxonH I actually feel the opposite way. The only consoles I've ever owned are Nintendo's. And I've always been really frustrated with the lack of third party. And I hated that you couldn't download Wii games due to the extremely small Wii storage space. It would've definitely helped me lose a lot less of my games. They're starting to be able to let you download some with the Wii U and I appreciate that, but that came way too late. Should've been there last gen. Also, Nintendo's decisions also really get on my nerves like how they did not include HD in the Wii and no universal account system yet. Back in 2013 (which was when that painful Wii U drought was happening) I swear I was seriously considering selling my Wii U. I only stuck around because I knew that games like Smash and Mario Kart would come around eventually. That's actually the only reason I stick around with Nintendo at all these days. They're games just keep bringing me back to them. I manage to deal with all of the problems and issues I have with them cause they give me stuff like Zelda and Mario. I do plan on eventually getting a gaming PC to cover the lack of third party but as for everything else, I'm really hoping they fix these problems. It's just really frustrating and it's almost to the point where I'm ready to give up on them entirely. I used to be all over Nintendo consoles and always wanted to buy them so badly (I got my Wii U day one) but now I've pretty much made up my mind that if the next console doesn't fix the problems that I might have to avoid it. Definitely not getting it day one. Made that mistake with the Wii U... However the handhelds seem fine. I love the 3DS a lot. If I actually do give up on Nintendo consoles, I think I might just stick with their handheld and use a PC as my main system for gaming.
@BensonUii No that's not what I plan on doing. I meant that I may have to avoid making Nintendo videos cause I'm afraid they might take them down. Lol.
Edit: Although making money would be nice too... 😁
I've always wanted to make gaming videos on YouTube... You know, with the way Nintendo is handling things, I don't think I would be doing anything with their games. This is just pointlessly complicated. I guess if I ever get enough money in the future, I'll start LP's of PC games.
I'm glad that I didn't have to unlock most characters. I barely even use them aside from Lucina. Why would they even reveal the character and then have you unlock them? We already know that they're here. It's kind of pointless. I was hoping that there would be some new unrevealed characters but nope. Just returning characters like Wario and Ness...
I think I might get Majora's Mask. I already know that there's an upcoming remake but I'm not really sure if that's worth $40. Especially with the Virtual Console version being only 150 coins. But the new graphics look nice I guess. Hmm. Not sure which one to get... Are the better graphics really worth buying it when I could just get it for free? ...
@JaxonH Well, I'm pretty much a newcomer to Metroid and I don't really know much about the story or anything. So I don't think Other M's story would be that much of a problem for me. Other M is also extremely easy to find for some odd reason. I see it nearly every time in the game sections. If it's really as good as you say it is, I suppose I may finally buy it.
@JaxonH Oh. Thanks. The reason I ask this is because I wanted to get a Metroid game. I'm definitely getting Prime Trilogy but I am not so sure about Other M cause of all the bad things I've heard about it.
Metroid Prime Trilogy! I've always wanted to play those games but it costed too much from sellers online. I want to get into the Metroid series so I'll start with this! I already tried to get into it before and I played Super Metroid but that didn't really help. I didn't like it. :/
