Honestly this year's digital event is pretty meh. The only big announcement is Star Fox. The rest of the titles are either we already know about or small titles. A party AC game? Really? Sony and Microsoft' presentation was way better.
This is still ridiculous. Instead of removing voice chat, they could have given players the option to USE it or DISABLE it. Simply taking it away is not nice. I'm glad this game is very good even when voice chat is absent. Still, wish it was available.
Voice chat in a multiplayer game is a must. Dayum, I miss my voice chat in monster hunter.
@JaxonH With conversion it'll be around 62 CAD, which is indeed cheaper if you do not factor in shipping fee. However I do appreciate the gesture buddy.
Guys Natsume is not the people who made the original harvest moons. Marvelous are. So please keep your expectations low to avoid disappointment. IF it's a good farming sim, I may give it a try. If it sucks as hard as the latest entry on the 3DS, I won't even play if it is given out for free.
@JaxonH Welp the studio is now owned by Bandai Namco, so a law action against them is very unlikely. No one would want to go against a giant like BN. Not to mention the PS360 version was also included in the original goals, but was removed as well. If nobody did anyting regarding the PS360 version, I don't think anyone would give a damn about the Wii U version. Just my 2 cents.
Personally I see this cancellation coming from miles away. The indicators were extremely obvious. The most obvious one being that they did not show us ANY footage/pictures/screenshot/gamepad features of the Wii U version throughout the game's development. How can that be normal?
It is stuff like this that keeps me away from crowd funding.
People canceling or changed their minds on splatoon because of a connection hiccup on a TESTING session? Hahaha man, that's a whole new level of entitlement.
I've participated I'm a lot of CBTS and BTS. Trust me yesterday's connection issue is not really an issue lol.
@Souldin I thought the sketchpad does not provide lessons? It's just an App that provides you with a variety of drawing tools to create your drawings. Whereas this full release contains lessons on how to draw? Which is why I never bothered with the sketchpad, since I don't know how to draw AT ALL.
@ThomasBW84 Hope you're right! I really need to learn how to draw so my future children won't look down on me
And to think people was actually excited for this. NES remix on 3DS in 8 locations in the entire US? I swear to god man these folks over at Nintendo NA are either stupid or just doesn't care.
@ikki5 I don't know which part of Canada you live in, but in Vancouver the PS4 is priced at 449 and Xbone at 399, both are MSRP. Remember sales/discount price doesn't count.
Back on topic, I really hope splatoon does well. Finally a new IP I'm such a long time lol. However I'm not picking it up day 1. At 70 CAD I need to make sure this game is worth that price.
@JaxonH Which is why Nintendo will always be my primary gaming choice. I enjoy their games and do not need to impress my imaginary friends that my console of choice sold the most
@ikki5 It sucks. It really does because I buy gaming goods constantly. I have 5 platforms and it's really tough for me as prices are going up. Can't really blame the publishers, blame the federal government
@ikki5 I never once said people should buy the cheaper console. People should buy the console they want for the games. I live by this rule, which is why I will always have a Nintendo console as primary simply because they offer the experience that cannot be found on anywhere else.
@ikki5 The very first company to do this was Sony. They increase the price of the PS4 by 50 dollars mere months after it was launched. Not only that, Sony also increase 5 dollars on EVERY accessories available for the PS4 (Controllers, Camera etc). Furthermore, the games on both PS4 and Xbone were already 70 dollars per piece since early 2014.
Also FYI, with the current currency exchange rate, gaming goods in Canada are slightly cheaper than USA.
People may deny this, but an achievement system is crucial. Not only it creates replayability, it also give a sense of achivement. I hope Nintendo will incorporate an achievement system in their new program.
If you think about it, Nintendo are the only gaming platform that doesn't have an achievement system lol

@Ebisumaru I can back your claim. I remembered them saying that, but they never added it in lol. It was suppose to be a paid DLC iirc.
