This is excellent news and exactly what I wanted to hear about the game. I like it when my games have a tricky edge to them. Especially when it comes to Zelda.
P.S. Seeing as the hand holding will be reduced, I will be hosting walking and sword swinging tutorials for those who have difficulty with the game on launch date
@Wonder_Mask - Of coures a lot of thought went into the Vannilite family. The developers had a long and hard debate on what flavor and toppings Vannilite would have. In the end, they settled on a plain vanilla cone, a classic that appeals to a wide audience. u_u
Since I'll be getting the physical version of Y, nothing for me this week. Of course, I can't see anyway for another game to take priority for Y for me this week (or many others after).
@spidey1010 - Why don't you start out a game with a group of Pokemon you like and forget EV training? When you beat the game, you'll be able to look back and select Pokemon to EV train for a competitive team. That way you'll avoid spoilers and end up with a good competitive team.
What conditioner does Dixie use? Anyways, the game is looking great. While I'm sad that the game has been delayed, I'll be held over by other things until it's ready. Make it a good one Retro!
This is very interesting. I wonder if Nintendo is trying to improve the overall strength and stability of its systems' online. I guess we'll find out soon.
@Happy_Mask - No way! I was going to guess that too! I guess insane great minds think alike I suppose.
Anyways, any X and Y news is always appreciated by me. Perhaps we will receive an evolved form of a Gen 1 Pokemon such as Pinsir. Who knows?

I don't want to be that guy, but I think there's a word missing in the title caption.
I'm getting the retail version of Y. However, down the line I might download X so I can start a new game without losing my mons. The X and Y XLs are beautiful. T.T

Looks like Toon Link is blasting off again! (ding)
Re: Feature: Our Favourite, Quirky and Baffling Pokémon X & Y Moments So Far
@audiobrainiac - That's funny. I named my Samurott in White 2 Shogun as well. It's such a fitting name.

@Katy_Ellis - Actually, that ghost is even creepier. I found it way before I even knew about the old man in the haunted house. e_O
Re: Hey Australia! You're Getting The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds Chest Too!
Here's hoping it comes the U.S.

Tis a shame. I'm hoping to pick up Legends this Christmas.

Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Eighteen
Pokemon Y Version will dominate most of my game time this weekend. Any other game will be hard pressed to pull me away.

Re: Pokémon X & Y Iwata Asks Explains Sky and Horde Battles
That sounds like an interesting new mechanic. I can't wait to give it a try. (laughs)

Re: Weirdness: Beautiful Master Sword Replica Up for Auction
I'm throwing my money at the screen, but nothing is happening! Do want!

Re: Pikmin 3 Mission Mode DLC Launches Today
This sounds like DLC that I would be interested in. I'll try to pick it up soon.
Re: Super Mario 3D World Brings New Power-Ups to the Mushroom Kingdom
That trailer made me even more excited for this game. I do wonder what controller styles will be compatible with the game.

Re: First Impressions: Pokémon X & Y
@Superconsole - Excellent choice in starters.
October cannot come soon enough! O_o
Re: Video: This Japanese Pokémon X & Y Overview Trailer is Almost Too Epic
HYYYYYYPE! There is so much I am excited for in this game that I can't focus on my favorite aspect.
Re: The Pokémon Company Teases "Special Announcement" On Monday
Whatever the announcement is, I'm interested. I'm expecting that it will pertain to X and Y, but we'll have to wait for Monday.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Seventeen
I'll be playing Super Mario World, FEZ, and some BIT.TRIP SAGA. I might also squeeze in some Pikmin 2 and Animal Crossing: New Leaf.
Re: CoroCoro Magazine Reveals Pokémon X & Y Starter Evolutions, Mega Mewtwo X and New 'Mon
Wow. Froakie's second stage is looking pretty slick. That is just continuing to make me happy that I chose Froakie.
Re: Hideki Kamiya "Would Be Honoured" If One Of His Creations Made It Into Smash Bros.
I think that Wonder Red would make an interesting fighter.
Re: Kamiya Doesn't Think Bayonetta 3 Will Ever Happen, But Is Open To Okami Sequel
I would be interested to see an Okami sequel, especially on the Wii U.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Sixteen
My main focus will be EarthBound, but I'll also try to make progress on Paper Mario: Sticker Star, Pikmin 2, and Punch-Out!!.
Re: Nintendo Download: 29th August (North America)
I think I'll spring for the BIT.TRIP Saga sale. Wario Land 3 isn't out of the question either.
Re: Super Mario 3D World and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze Dated for Holiday Bonanza
Tropical Freeze is only $50? That's great! That will make picking up both DK:TF and SM3DW even better.
Re: The Wonderful 101 Misses the Top 20 in UK All-Format Charts
While it probably won't be on launch day, I plan on picking this one up. I don't believe it's doomed though.
Re: Video: Snazzy New Trailer Shows Off Wii U Exclusives
There is a lot of win in store for my Wii U. I can't wait for some of these to be released.
Re: Rumour: Potential Wii U Pokémon Title Could be a Fighting Game Called Pokkén Fighters
I'm interested to see where they go with this.
Re: Video: Sonic Lost World Trailer Shows Off Multiplayer and Miiverse Sharing
This is full of so much win! I can't wait to enjoy both the 3DS and Wii U versions.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Fifteen
I'll be playing Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Punch-Out!! Featuring Mr. Dream, and Pikmin 3 this weekend.
Re: Pokémon X & Y Soundtrack Features 212 Tracks
I would love to have a Pokemon soundtrack. I really hope that they do release a physical copy, because I would rather not go the iTunes route.

Re: Pokémon X & Y Soundtrack Coming This November
It's hard to go wrong with Pokemon music. I can't wait to get an earful of the game's music first hand and find some tunes that I really enjoy.
Re: Ocarina of Time Speedrunner Explains How To Beat the Game in 22 minutes
Was it really a speedrun if it took 13 years to figure it out?
Re: Weirdness: "Pikmin 3" Shows Off a House in Animal Crossing: New Leaf
That is such a cool house. I hope they do more themed houses like that.
Re: Pokémon X & Y to Catch Roughly 14,000 of Your 3DS Memory Blocks
I'm getting the retail version of Y. However, down the line I might download X so I can start a new game without losing my mons.
The X and Y XLs are beautiful. T.T
Re: First Impressions: Sonic Lost World (3DS)
My body and blue 3DS XL are ready. Bring on the hedgehog!
Re: Weirdness: This First-Person Sonic the Hedgehog Video is Rather Impressive
The video demonstrated that a first-person Sonic would be awesome, but impractical. The view would be cool, but it would be very difficult to control.
Re: First Impressions: Disney Infinity
If Jack Sparrow meets Tonto, will the universe explode?
Re: Masahiro Sakurai Rules Out Story Sequences For Super Smash Bros. on Wii U and 3DS
I liked the Subspace Emissary and the cutscenes were a cool way to see different characters interact. Way to go early uploaders.
Re: New Smash Bros. to be "Something Right in Between" Melee and Brawl
As I really enjoy both Brawl and Melee, I think that Sakurai's suggestion sounds fine.
So much hype for this game.
Re: First Impressions: Sonic Lost World
I really can't wait for this game. If I could run with my legs in a figure eight, I would be doing so.
Re: Super Smash Bros. Will Have The Same Character Roster On Both Wii U And 3DS
I'm getting both versions in all likelihood.
@DkFluttershyGuy - The 3DS version will have different stages than the Wii U version.

That cracked me up. Well done Miyamoto.
Re: June CoroCoro Reveals New Pokémon and Rival Details
Hooray for Poogeymanz news!
The new fairy type looks cool and so does the fire/normal type lion.
