If the price point is right, I'll be getting it at launch. The fact that I can bring my console experience anywhere is a win.
People are worrying that this is going to replace the 3DS, it won't simply because you cannot fit the switch into your pockets. Unless you weigh 400lbs.
The gamepad is a great controller. What's not so great about the Wii U is the amount of games. It's almost the end of April 2016 and there is still no major releases other than pokken.
Removing a bewb slider and a scene is still fine. But removing an entire feature? Pre order canceled. Shame, I was really looking forward to play it day 1. I'll just buy it used so Nintendo won't get a cent of my money.
The online portion of this game is great. Would be even better if they have a four player roaming. The ability to roam this massive world with friends would be simply awesome. Furthermore, there are a few tough SOBs in this game that is impossible to take down by yourself (lv80s 90s).
Overall great feature, but could be vastly better.
@Randomname19 Do you know that gaming company makes their money from softwares? At times these companies sell their consoles at a lost. So yeah, console sales don't mean jack if they can't make software sales.
This change doesn't really affect me simply because my avatar will be a male....BUT this change kind of pisses me off. I simply hate censorship in games. I like my games in it's original state.
I think people are underestimating the troubles and procedures to publish third party IPs on VC. Maybe the troubles and legal fees would be too expensive for a couple of sales? 99.99% of the people who bought the VC games (myself included) are 80s~90s kids who want to relive their chidhood again, and only a small portion of us care about them to begin with.
Honestly though it is still a bummer. I tried playing old games with emulators on both PC and my old DS. However but it just feels more "original/authentic" playing it on VC. Somehow the frame rate, the controls and the feels are more familiar. Maybe it's just placebo's effect.
@Moon My wife already got it pre ordered. Honestly the lack of challenge is exactly what they want imo. Imagine her spending 2 hours designing the home she thinks it's perfect and the game tells her it's dog poo? XD
@Tendogamerxxx I don't think the lack of story multiplayer is due to the Wii U's hardware, it's more of a design done by the devs. The Wii U is completely capable of such online capacity. The best example would be Monster Hunter Frontier, which is a mmorpg released only in Japan.
The devs wants the player to be "loosely connected". You should look it up, it's pretty neat. Also, going full blown online would really hinder a story driven game such as Xenoblade.
@Tendogamerxxx From what I heard and read, the only multiplayer component is that once in a while you can party up and go against a specially spawned boss. The majority of the game play is single player only.
While I'm glad nintendo is not annualizing their franchises, but man some franchises need more sequels/games. We need new Pikmin, Metroid, Advanced Wars, etc.
I just got the game a week ago and absolutely loved it. What's spltafest? Why is it so hyped up? I've seen several inklings in the plaza posting about this too.
Miyamoto better not be the president. Don't get me wrong, I love him as much as any Nintendo fan, but he is just not molded for the job. He's a creator not a business man.
Nintendo NA is on freaking crack I'm telling you. The decisions that they have made are completely stupid and foolish.
1. No regular New 3DS because they'll confuse the market. WTF?!
2. Yoshi Wholly world will only be reaching NA 4 MONTHS after EU. WTF?!
3. During E3 they showed a women talking about knitting but omit Fatal Frame. WTF?!
4. NO DEVIL 3RD CUZ UM WE DUN LIKE IT. WTF?!
Seriously as much as I like Reggie as a person, his leadership skills are completely out of whack. Even if these aren't his idea, he is in the position of power to modify and at least influence it.
To pour salt on the wound, thanks to freaking region lock all these titles can't be played even if we wanted to import it!
@Ichiban I think Nintendo just doesn't want those two to copy their gimmicks. Come on we know there's gonna be gimmicks for the NX. Otherwise what's there to hide?
Just give us an actual Animal Crossing game instead of all this nonsense. This game should be a FEATURE in the actual game. I'm sorry but these 2 animal crossing titles is just ridiculous and are simply cash grabs. Shame on you Nintendo.
As long as I get to play xenoblade and Yoshi wolly world, my Wii U is well worth the 180CAD that I paid for it. However I do hope Nintendo gives it a full 5 years before retiring it.
Played it on my PS4 (PS+), fantastic game if you're into cultural stuff. This game also include 20+ short clips that explains the Alaskan native's culture and ways of life.
$350 for a Seiko Quartz? Nope. I don't care if you have the queen of England's face on it. For that price it should have been at least a Seiko 5 Automatic.

Re: A Brand New Story Of Seasons Game Is Currently In Development, Says Marvelous
Harvest Moon Back to Nature is the best in the series period. Sunshine island was pretty good too.
All the other 3ds entries imo are complete garbage in comparison.

Re: Devil's Third is Being Published by Nintendo of America in Q4, Also Coming to PC as 'Free-to-Start' Title
