I already completed the Pokedex during New Years so the GTS is pointless to me. If they want me to participate in the GTS again, maybe have the bank finally updated? It won't be too long before January is over and we still haven't got it.
Would be nice to get the Hoshidian and Nohrian Festival of Bonds DLC in the west, aside from that it would be great if we had one of the Japan only FE games get localized. The mobile game also has my attention, I wonder how good will it be.
Probably going to pick up the Ace Attorney Trilogy and Spirit of Justice, would've been nice if NL mentioned these sales since I wouldn't have known about it if my friends didn't tell me about it.
I still haven't got around to getting all of the cells since they're all in obscure areas and some of them are only available at day or night. Granted there's a way to change the time in-game, but it will be a pain trying to figure out which ones I got or haven't yet.
Nothing interesting like usual, would be nice if they put Bayonetta 1 at a discount later in the year since there isn't any other games I can think of that would benefit from these small discounts. Aside from maybe Fatal Frame, but I doubt it will get one.
Stock problems can be annoying and I don't bother paying things above their suggested price. Aside from Breath of the Wild next year, I'll be sticking with last gen games for 2017 since their prices are much cheaper now and can keep you occupied for a long time.
The stock for the Black Friday New 3DS was pretty bad so I just went with the Mario one instead. Haven't bought a copy of 3D Land yet and it has better faceplates imo. Aside from that, I got Pokemon Moon along with a Lucina and Ness amiibo.
Nothing too special, if I had to choose I would probably pick up Mass Attack and Kirby Fighters Deluxe. I'm mostly just waiting until Steam shows what they have up for sale before I start buying some games this week.
Edit: Scratch that, didn't notice the store page updated today. Welp, time to do some buying lol.
It'll be interesting to see who will win some rewards, but I'll wait until articles are posted. Last year's stream was boring and it felt like a waste of time.
It's a shame that Nintendo can't tell the difference between a pirated and legitimate copy considering some people got banned despite purchasing the game.
Nothing too interesting to get, but hey I can finally get Xenoblade since I was waiting to see if I can get it on sale. Good thing the discounts stay for a long while so I can grab it once I'm back from vacation.
Sounds like a fun little game to play in short bursts, though I may just wait until it goes on sale because I have yet to play the Satura DLC in Runbow. Definitely recommend that game if you have some friends to play with or you like going for 100% completion.
This is still the game I play daily on my Wii U, it really deserves the popularity and praise it has been receiving. Hopefully the next game includes more single player/local multiplayer content or a co-op mode.
Hopefully 3DS owners could play with Wii U owners, if not then this would be one of the few times where I think local play would have been the better option. Ah well, a physical copy of the Wii U version is nice and I might pick that up as I haven't got around to buying the Story DLC yet.
The Festival Plaza reminds me of the Join Avenue from Black 2 and White 2, but better which is nice because I enjoyed the facilities it had to offer from having online/local people set up shop.
Not too sure how I feel about Ash-Greninja at the moment since I haven't seen the anime lately, but I suppose my opinion might change once the games release. The post-game content is shaping up to be at least along the lines of Black 2 and White 2 for post-game content, if so I'm going to really enjoy Sun and Moon as I remember spending a bunch of time with White 2.
I could see the size being a problem for some people, but I doubt I would have troubles using it if I were to play on a Famicom Mini. Seems a bit silly to make the controllers stuck onto the console though considering it can't load cartridges like an actual Famicom due to its size.
Sometimes I feel like we're just repeating the same thing constantly with these Talking Points. Nintendo could take their time in the world if they wanted to, there's more than enough games on any platform to pre-occupy a person for years. I mean while I am interested in seeing what Nintendo has in store for the NX, all of this speculation and rumors is bugging me. Personally I would rather just play something to pass the time than constantly speculate about something that will probably just disappoint many people like usual.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm not gonna bother clicking these NX Talking Points anymore because neither the articles or comments have kept my interest for the past weeks/months.
Hopefully the stock will be decent by the time I'm back from my trip. Out of all the times they do pre-orders on a restock, it had to be when I'm out for vacation lol.
Quite a shame the Wii U sold terribly, it has some titles I really enjoyed such as Bayonetta, Splatoon and Mario Kart. Digital-wise is where the Wii U shined the most compared to the Wii. It had much more interesting indie games like Guacamelee, Runbow and Fast Racing NEO. While the Virtual Console selection overall is smaller than the Wii, but it managed to bring over both Earthbound and Mother 1 while also bringing in more rare titles like Xenoblade and Metroid Prime Trilogy.
Alas, the Wii U was doomed due to being under-powered, lack of third parties, bad marketing, many droughts and the console itself being very expensive compared to the more appealing competition. I'll always remember console as it has brought in a lot of fun times, here's hoping Nintendo does a better job with their next console if they don't want another failure like the Wii U.
A bit surprised they didn't do this sooner, would be nice if we got some previous Club Nintendo exclusive games as rewards in the future like Doc Louis's Punch-Out!! and Donkey Kong: Original Edition whether they'd cost a bunch of Platinum Coins or some Gold Coins.
Gaming in Canada has been getting expensive again over the past few years which has made me pretty hesitant on getting games at full price these days. Heck, over the past year the only games I've got at full price was Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate/Generations since those are games I really enjoy. While other games I got because they're games I like but generally have low stock like the Special Edition of Fates or Senran Kagura Deep Crimson. Every other games I got have been from sales on Steam, occasional Humble Bundles and even some free games that are given out occasionally.
Due to this I told myself I don't have plans on getting new games for awhile since they're getting a bit too expensive over here and I got more than enough games to keep me busy for the next year or two since time will start to be limited for me due to college. I hope Nintendo improves on their mistakes with the NX as they make the best replayable games, but I'm afraid Breath of the Wild will probably be my last current gen purchase from them. I'll still buy some of the games I've missed like Dream Team later of next year, however it's probably time I take a break from buying current gen games for now and just finish games I haven't finished yet.
It would probably be more fitting to use this on a 3DS than the Wii U, but that isn't really enough to warrant a second purchase of this game. Maybe if the cut issue was fixed, you could manually pick a specific colour via code or a simple eyedropper tool was added into this version then I'd probably pick this up again since while it was very limited, it was fun doing pixel art.
Monster Hunter and Splatoon would be enough for me to get the console sooner than later, though I still got plenty of games to buy for my Wii U and 3DS so it would probably still be a later purchase.
Considering how unique Splatoon was when it first launch, the lack of content at the beginning was a bit excusable. Though the sequel will need more content at launch, especially if there isn't any significant additions to the core gameplay/mechanics. If there's one thing they should remove for the sequel, it's the stage rotation. It isn't needed now that there's more maps and modes than the initial release, more customization would be nice like being able to choose what loadouts the weapons can have and etc.

Re: Nintendo is Reportedly Taking 'Final Orders' on Wii U Consoles From Retailers
Quite a shame the Wii U sold terribly, it has some titles I really enjoyed such as Bayonetta, Splatoon and Mario Kart. Digital-wise is where the Wii U shined the most compared to the Wii.

Re: Review: Pixel Paint (3DS eShop)
It would probably be more fitting to use this on a 3DS than the Wii U, but that isn't really enough to warrant a second purchase of this game.

Re: August's Monster Hunter Generations DLC Celebrates Iconic Nintendo Franchises
