I really can't wait for the game to release, I already got the money necessary for the special edition and I already got the special edition pre-ordered. (...assuming there won't be issues when I pick it up)
Fire Emblem Fates and Bravely Second/Paper Jam automatically make this year great, only thing that could make this year even better for me is if we get a western announcement of Monster Hunter Cross.
While 2015 hasn't been Nintendo's best year, I had a bunch of fun with Codename: S.T.E.A.M, MH4U, Splatoon and Mario Maker. (Soon Xenoblade Chronicles X as well) There was also some good eshop releases this year like Runbow, Steamworld Heist and Fast Racing NEO. I could care less about "droughts" since I'm not made out of money and it gives me time to finish some games on my backlog like games I got from Steam sales.
@Konda I'm aware, but I'd rather just wait until I get the amiibo so I can play them in one go since I'm more likely to stay focused and actually finish them unlike if I do one now and do the other another time.
Deep Crimson was a fun game so I wouldn't mind if this announcement will be another main series title for the 3DS. Though it'll probably be another spin-off.
@JaxonH We already got one that supports the Gamepad, albeit one that benefits more from the Wii Remote + Nunchuk scheme, Pandora's Tower.
If I already didn't own a copy of New Super Mario Bros Wii, I probably would've got this since this my favourite one out of the New Super Mario Bros series.
I definitely had a bunch of fun with this game, I'd say this would be my Wii U eshop GOTY as it is very unique from the usual platformers I play. I haven't played the online lately, but it was a very fun experience and I look forward to any updates 13AM Games has in store for next year!
Clearly everyone has been naughty so you guys get coal instead of games.
I don't really mind not getting much games this Christmas since I'm still occupied with other games I got this year. I'll be saving my money for the special edition of Fire Emblem Fates.
I was very surprised with this, but I'm very happy she's in since I always found Bayonetta pretty cool despite not owning the games yet. Plus we'll now be able to have awesome Bayonetta music in Smash. ...Now I need to save up some money for Bayonetta 1 + 2 along with Fire Emblem Fates lol
Wii U Game of the Year would be Splatoon while 3DS Game of the Year would be Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. Both games offer hundreds of hours, can't really say anything about Xenoblade since I haven't bought it yet.
If next year's Game Awards is gonna be similar to this one, I'd rather not watch. Most of the stuff was filler content, with only a few interesting stuff showing up every 30 minutes or so.
The game is really fun, it's pretty challenging at experienced since you'll get penalized for having any casualties but you'll get more experience in the process. I don't remember the last time I had to manage my resources carefully except for maybe Fire Emblem as I had many times where I'd be choosing whether I'd want to sell some weapons or some of my gear to have room for better weapons/gear from the loot you find in missions.
A bit too expensive for my liking, but it's pretty cool that the Wii U is finally getting Minecraft. I'm just not sure if I'll get it since I'm currently saving up for Fire Emblem Fates and I still need to get Xenoblade Chronicles X.
I would probably get it on Steam anyways since my laptop can handle my Steam games well and a lot of games go on sale often. Congrats to them reaching their Crowdfunding goal, it looked like it was gonna fail considering the amount of money was needed to fund this.
It's a good thing I already have it downloaded, I recommend anyone to play it if they got a 2gb SD Card (or hombrew) as it's a nice modification to Brawl. I'm pretty sure you'll be able to find Project M somewhere since you can never truly remove something off the internet.
There isn't really a need to have a next installment. The games are fine as a trilogy and it would be pretty hard to think of a story that would continue from Mother 3 either directly/indirectly. Plus there's always the fan game if fans are really itching for a new one, it looks promising and good.
Not too surprised with the Smash Splat Bundle, getting both of those games with a Wii U at that price is a steal! Those 2 games alone can pre-occupy someone for months.
Decided to pick up 3D Sonic the Hedgehog since I've been wanting it for quite a while now and you can't say no to a pretty good discount like that. I also picked up a few games on Steam because their sales are always nice lol.
Iwata was a great man, I'll definitely remember all of his actions and achievements he has done for both Nintendo and the Industry till the day I can never remember. Very informative and detailed video.
I'm usually pretty low on money anyways so being pre-occupied with games like Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate and Splatoon made the drought feel non-existent tbh.
I haven't played much since the online would freeze my Wii U sometimes, but the last update helped make the freezing non-existent. (Or at least from my previous session) It's very nice how 13 AM games puts in the time to address any known issues people may experience, it makes the game much more enjoyable especially when I play with a friend online.
@ikki5 You clearly haven't checked much places as some stores had some sales for the game back in August, there was also a discount for the eshop version a few weeks ago if you tried out the Test Fire. You can even find much cheaper prices on Ebay even when you take into consideration of shipping and exchange rates. Even then, the game is worth the full price, this is coming from someone who lives in Canada and bought both the Inkling Boy amiibo and Triple Pack.
Most of my favourite Directs were usually the game focused ones like Splatoon, Tomodachi Life and the 50-Fact Extravaganza for Smash, but the regular ones had some enjoyable moments like tiny Bill and the ones listed above.
Downloaded this an hour ago, it's pretty fun to design your home menu with badges. Though I doubt I'll spend much on it judging by the horrible moves I did on my free plays lol.
The main appeal of this weapon was the squid beakons it came with, when you remove that then you just get a weapon that has less range than an Aerospray which is pretty meh tbh.
@RupeeClock I'm surprised how generous the free side of this app is especially when most crane games just eat up your money without giving much in return lol. I might never stop playing this daily if we get a lot of new badges throughout the months/year.
@RupeeClock Oh that's awesome, being able to keep the badges from the free plays will motivate me to play this daily. Now all we need is a release date for the US.

I still gotta finish Plague of Shadows, maybe I'll come back to it once the Shovel Knight amiibo releases in America.

@Megumi It's not gonna happen if we haven't even got any anime costumes yet lol.
Re: Gallery: Gawk At the Super Smash Bros. Reveal Art for Bayonetta and Corrin, Along With Cloud Screenshots
Really love how the Bayonetta and Corrin artwork looks, I'll use either one as my phone background which will finally replace my Splatoon one lol.

Hopefully it'll be distributed by Mystery Gift since Canada no longer has Nintendo Zones.
Re: Feature: Time to Vote for Your Nintendo Life Game of the Year Awards 2015

Re: Minecraft Finally Digs Its Way Onto the Wii U eShop on 17th December
A bit too expensive for my liking, but it's pretty cool that the Wii U is finally getting Minecraft. I'm just not sure if I'll get it since I'm currently saving up for Fire Emblem Fates and I still need to get Xenoblade Chronicles X.
Re: Splatoon And Super Mario Maker Honoured At The Game Awards 2015
The Game Awards for the most part was pretty meh and boring, Reggie's speech about Iwata was great though.

This would be better on mobile platforms, "Avoider" this game and just go get something that's actually worth your money.

Re: New Splatoon Patch Adds Fresh Gear, Adjusts Ranking Results And Generally Makes Things "More Pleasant"

Re: Splatoon's Content Update is a Little Early This Week With the Neo Sploosh-o-matic

Man, waiting for Xenoblade Chronicles X to release will be tough over the next few weeks. (also trying to get some money for it will be tough too lol)
Re: Nintendo Badge Arcade is Pinned Down For a 13th November Release in Europe
I'll get this if it's possible to get all of the badges with just a lot of free plays and determination.
