Kinda hard to be hyped for something that doesn't even give us at least 10 seconds worth of gameplay. Though the Pokemon Bank thing is pretty nice since I was too lazy to renew my subscription, so I'll probably renew it whenever I decide to pick up Yellow.
I'm already enjoying Fates more than Awakening, the difficulty on Birthright(Hard/Lunatic) is already harder than Awakening's Lunatic without feeling cheap or unfair. I'll be jumping straight to Conquest, and then Revelations of my Special Edition copy once I'm done Birthright.
Picking up the Special Edition (or Conquest if something goes wrong with my pre-order, I hope not) of Fire Emblem Fates tomorrow, it's gonna be fun putting hundreds of hours into this game.
RIP my backlog for the next month or so once Fates releases since I imagine I'll be putting in even more time into Fates than Awakening, and I had around 950 hours in Awakening.
It's pretty crazy we got so much DLC fighters within a year, I'm satisfied with them. Haven't bought every stage or Bayonetta yet, but I'll buy them at some point. I wasn't really that interested in the Mii Fighter costumes outside of the Splatoon and Monster Hunter ones.
The new design looks pretty cool, though I personally prefer the old design. However, I do like the new notification system since I won't need to constantly look at my email.
It would be cool, though I can imagine certain events would be hard to code, especially 2 of them which I won't spoil for those who haven't played yet.
Still waiting for more Fire Emblem amiibo restocks over here since I only have Ike. I dunno if I'll stop buying amiibo once I get those and the Shovel Knight amiibo, but I'll see depending on what functionality amiibo some will have in the future as they do look good, though some have better functionality than others.
@toxibunny There's no need to constantly scan the amiibo to play the minigames, once you unlock them, you get to keep them forever. So yes, it's possible to unlock the minigames and give away the amiibo later.
I probably should've just went today instead of yesterday to buy the Steam Card since I noticed a poster saying the Mew event starts tomorrow(today) when I was there. Oh well, I guess I'll just wait until the day Fates releases to get the code, assuming there'll be any left by then.
If this is true, I personally wouldn't mind since Splatoon's amiibo are all optional and nothing major is really "locked" behind them. The challenges don't really change how you approach the level that much outside of the limited ink challenge which isn't really that hard to replicate without tbh. The rewards are all reskins of existing stuff excluding the minigames which is really just a small bonus and not needed to enjoy the game.
At most this would be a port of Smash 4 or Melee considering it takes a few years to make one. The team who worked on Smash 4 has been pretty busy with making DLC and balancing for the past year so I doubt they were working on a new Smash already if Nintendo's next console releases within the next 2 years.
Pretty crazy to think that we'll need to wait until April if you want to get Anna, though I guess it doesn't matter too much since I'll be trying out everything the three paths have to offer for the next 2 months.
I got the special edition pre-ordered so I should be fine unless EB Games has a mishap with the orders at launch (which would really suck). If that happens, I'll either wait for them to fix my order or buy the Conquest Edition.
I'll be going with Nohr first since lately I've mostly been going with the "dark" side in decisions like Decepticons in Splatoon's Splatfest, Genocide run in Undertale and the Conquest ending in Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth2.
Man, the wait is almost over, but it feels like it's taking forever to get there. The wait will be very worth it in the end, though I have a feeling I won't be able to finish other games on my backlog for a while due to this game potentially eating hundreds of hours of playtime like Awakening did.
Yep, it's definitely easier to see the difference between the mod and original by using Wind Waker instead of Melee as it's easier to see any noticeable differences.
Not too surprised about the Steam sales, you can get a bunch of good games for a cheap price if you wait for the Steam sales. Good to see that they're at least making a profit despite the low sales.
I'll probably try this out since it does seem more appealing than the previous set as you can throw in sprinklers at random spots to build up your special or even as a shield if you know what you're doing.
That was a great watch, never thought the series would be back. The animation improved a lot compared to when it first started and the visuals are nice too.
I remember getting this from Club Nintendo, though I stopped playing this after awhile since I'm not a huge fan of the Wii U's virtual Wii mode. If it comes to the Wii U eshop in NA, I'll probably upgrade since I'd prefer to play this on the Gamepad.

Re: Fire Emblem Fates Becomes Fastest Selling Release in Franchise History in the US

Re: Reminder: Register and Gear Up for the Pokémon Red & Blue Splatfest
I might play a bit of this splatfest, but I imagine I'll probably just stick with playing Fates since I picked up my special edition today.
Re: Video: Check Out the Chitoge Kirisaki Costume in Super Mario Maker
@TheWPCTraveler Didn't think it was easy to tell, but yes I haven't seen the Fire Emblem anime lol.
Re: Video: Check Out the Chitoge Nisekoi Costume in Super Mario Maker
Looks like I stand corrected about there being no chances of anime costumes being in Mario Maker lol.

Re: Sound Your Survey Klaxon, Nintendo of America Wants Your Feedback
My download for Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth3 was 40 minutes when I started the survey, now it's 17 minutes remaining.
Re: Video: Nintendo Reminds Us of Just How Much DLC We Had for Super Smash Bros.

Re: Video: See the Very First Wii U & 3DS Game to Use Every Single amiibo
That image alone was worth the click.
Re: Video: Nintendo Introduces the Battle Mechanics of Fire Emblem Fates
These next 2 weeks are going to be a very long, but worthwhile wait.
Re: Undertale Creator Open To Nintendo Port, But Wouldn't Be Able To Code It Himself
It would be cool, though I can imagine certain events would be hard to code, especially 2 of them which I won't spoil for those who haven't played yet.

Merry Christmas everyone.

Re: Nintendo Outlines Details of DLC Map Pack One in Fire Emblem Fates
@otakuidoru Uh, yes? What's your point?

Re: Detective Pikachu Trailer is Revealed, Arrives as a Download in Japan on 3rd February
If it comes to the west, I'd probably buy it since it looks better than the previous spin-offs we had.
Re: 3DS System Update 10.5.0-30 is Now Available
I guess you can say the Stability has reached the point where everything it touches becomes too stable, thus making it unstable.
Re: Video: See the GameCube HDMI Mod Thrash Cheaper HDMI Converters in Video & Audio Quality
Yep, it's definitely easier to see the difference between the mod and original by using Wind Waker instead of Melee as it's easier to see any noticeable differences.
Re: Four More Animal Crossing amiibo Figures Arrive in Europe on 18th March
If I had to pick one, it would be Isabelle since I'd rather not buy Amiibo Festival to get her.
Re: Rumour: Details of amiibo Features in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD Emerge
If this is true then I guess I don't have to worry about getting Shiek and Toon Link since I already own Link, Zelda and Ganondorf.
Re: Video: Check Out Super Smash Bros. Melee Running Through a GameCube HDMI Mod
@RupeeClock I noticed when I was watching the video, couldn't see the difference between the mod and original lol.
Re: Video: Check Out Super Smash Bros. Melee Running Through a GameCube HDMI Mod
Wind Waker or Paper Mario probably would have been a better choice to showcase this mod as those games look beautiful when they aren't blurry.
Re: Gunman Clive HD Collection Has Sold 9000 Copies But Has Still Made A Profit
Not too surprised about the Steam sales, you can get a bunch of good games for a cheap price if you wait for the Steam sales. Good to see that they're at least making a profit despite the low sales.
Re: Bigley's Revenge Has Been Removed From the eShop
That didn't last long lol
Re: The Custom Hydra Splatling, Splatoon's Last Update Weapon, Goes Live on 15th January
I'll probably try this out since it does seem more appealing than the previous set as you can throw in sprinklers at random spots to build up your special or even as a shield if you know what you're doing.
Re: Bayonetta 2 to Have a Standalone North American Release on 19th February
@Xenocity Don't really see what point you're trying to make by telling me this, but okay.
Re: Bayonetta 2 to Have a Standalone North American Release on 19th February
@Xenocity I'm aware of that, that's why it wasn't so high on my priority list since it didn't seem like it was gonna be sold out fast.
Re: Bayonetta 2 to Have a Standalone North American Release on 19th February
I've been wanting to get Bayonetta 2 for a while so I may pick up this if I can't find any copies of 1+2 once I have enough money for the game.
Re: Video: The Latest Monster Hunter Stories Trailer Makes Importing Even More Tempting
Considering you can ride a Nargacuga and Tigrex in this, I have hopes we can ride a Deviljho at some point.
Re: Natsume Is Selling Vintage Factory Sealed Stock Via Its eBay Store
When I asked for Pocky & Rocky to be available for purchase, this isn't exactly what I had in mind lol.
Re: Video: The Pokémon Company Builds Anniversary Hype and Confirms Monthly Mythical Pokémon Distributions
@DarthNocturnal We still do, but the previous one was a McDonalds/Nintendo Zone event which we don't have anymore.
Re: Video: The Pokémon Company Builds Anniversary Hype and Confirms Monthly Mythical Pokémon Distributions
@RainbowGazelle Well that's a shame, I was hoping we would since Canada doesn't have Nintendo Zones anymore so we missed Hoopa.
Re: Video: The Pokémon Company Builds Anniversary Hype and Confirms Monthly Mythical Pokémon Distributions
Hopefully Hoopa will be one of the legendaries that will be distributed.
Re: Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow 2DS Bundles Confirmed for Europe, New 3DS Bundle Coming to North America
I'll probably pick up that new 3DS bundle assuming it isn't sold out by the time it's my birthday.
Re: Epic Dumpster Bear is the Real Name of an Upcoming Wii U eShop Game
That pun was unbearable.
Re: Video: Super Mario Bros. Z, a Stylish Sprite-Based Animated Series, is Back
That was a great watch, never thought the series would be back. The animation improved a lot compared to when it first started and the visuals are nice too.
Re: Splatoon's Next Splatfest in North America is All About Time Travel
I'd choose past just so I can see my past self.
Re: The Sloshing Machine Neo is Splashing Its Way Into Splatoon
@stinky_t It comes with the Point Sensor and Inkzooka.
I'll probably stick with the regular Sloshing Machine, but I'll try it out when it releases.
Re: Review: Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars (Wii U eShop / SNES)

Re: Activision Blizzard Has Acquired Major League Gaming
@Xenocity It was a joke if you couldn't tell by the wink.
Re: Activision Blizzard Has Acquired Major League Gaming
Before you know it, they'll own the rights to Doritos and Mountain Dew.
Re: Check Out The Upcoming Star Fox Collaboration in Monster Hunter X (Cross)
Hopefully we'll get the game at some point since I might be desperate and just get a japanese New 3DS eventually if we don't get it lol.
