I added a bonus objective to my level! I know that I really enjoy hunting for little extras when I play Mario games, and as I don't have many resources yet I just made the player go on an optional hunt for 1UP's! They had to collect 100 coins, and then find grab the difficult to reach green mushroom near the end. I already got a star on that baby!
Only problem with this system is that it assumes that everyone who got banned made another account, when that is not true in a lot of cases. For instance, anyone who got banned on a 3DS that happened to be linked to a Wii U. You can't make another user on a 3DS, unless you want all of your content deleted.
I the reason I got banned is because of my intolerance for passive-aggressive jerks, and my less than subtle way of dealing with them. I never swore, but I always got busted for "bullying" because I was a bit less sneaky than the other guy.
I got perma banned in my 3DS, which was linked to my family's Wii u, and now they might all suffer. Luckily, they have not enforced this on my sibling's users, so that's good. I deleted my user from the system, but not the NNID, because I had stupidly bought games on that ID, and don't want to be out $120 personally.
I wish I could just "unlink" my nnid from the Wii U to save everyone else the trouble, but that's a "call Nintendo and hope the jerk-wad moderators are willing to help you" thing, and I have had enough of that.
Same here man! I am very tempted by Kirby, but Marth is a no brainer. So, do you have any idea when the Lucina Figma is going to be released? August has come and gone, and I cannot find any information on it online.
Hey, did you ever end up pre ordering the Lucina Figma? If so, do you know when its supposed to be released? I got mine from Crunchyroll, and I still have no flipin' idea when its supposed to be released.
Lowlifes. I cannot sympathize with people who do crap like this. unfortunately, if there's a will there's a way, and if criminals want to do crime, they will find a way to do it (or at least attemp it) Luckily, these men were caught red handed.
So does that mean the product will be restocked 1-2 months after the date shown next to each figure on the list? I am slightly confused. Anyone know the answer?
Apparently Walmart.com also sells the Link Figma, and the Toon Link Nendo. I was considering buying from them, but I will definitely keep looking for the best price.
Lol that works! Hey, you don't happen to know of any decent figure display cases do you? I have so many figurines (all pretty much no taller than 3/4 inches) and have been wanting to get a display box with shelves.
Without a doubt! I will definitely be buying a Marth Nendo. I also was able to snag a Lucina Figma pre-order for Crunchyroll, and am awaiting its release (seems like the date keeps getting pushed back). I wanted the Cordelia, but its a bit much for me, and Tharja is a bit too oversexed, I have a feeling my parents would be displeased if I owned it lol!
But the Link Figma, and the Toon Link Nendo are going to be ordered by me very soon. I just need to wait a while until I have a room to display them in. (we have family staying and I am kicked to the sofa for a while, lol)
I pre ordered it! My very first Nendoroid figure. They have always been a temptation, but ever since I missed out on Pokemon Trainer Red, I haven't wanted to buy one all that much.
I might have to buy a Toon Link to go with this one...
Also, I am planningon getting Cyntia as well. She should be available for order on the 26th on the Pokemon center website! Hope I don't miss out on her. Red might have to come from Santa Claus though... (Can't bring myself to pay $90.00 for him, although I might....)
Good to hear factual backup for what I was thinking in my head. Social media is indeed a very powerful thing, and little things like what Pranger was saying can certainly cause a forest fire on the web.
Nintendo had every right to fire him. Poor guy, but that's life. Live and learn.
Yeah, I agree with your first comment. He shouldn't have crossed the line, it simply was not in his power to do so. It's unfortunate to see someone lose their job, but if you mess with the bull, you get the horns.
Not so sure I can handle another JRPG at the moment. I have FFVII, Xenoblade Chronicles 3D, and I am also kinda hooked on World of Warcraft and MH4U at the moment, so that isn't helping.
Very nice though. If this was Bravely second, I would be buying it. But since I have never even heard of this before, and it doesn't look to terribly special (no offense, just looks pretty basic) I think I will pass.
I try to get duplicates when possible, but it's not a huge deal. Currently, the only duplicates I have are of Jigglypuff, and Gold Mario. Trying to find a Marth, haha
This game screams two words to me, every time I hear about it: "Politically Correct".
From the inclusion of gay marriage, to the dumbing down of the game mechanics (Phoenix mode!? You might as well watch someone else play the game for you!)... I just feel like all this game is, is a fan pleaser/dating sim that Fire Emblem just shouldn't have been, whose only purpose was to make a statement. And that is coming from a hard-core Fire Emblem fan.
I wouldn't doubt that I'm the only one who thinks this, however.
All in all, I might play it. But I probably won't buy it new.
I was mainly talking about non-locked older games (Mother 3, Fire Emblem: Binding Blade, etc...), but people have even found ways around playing imported current gen games by just buying a system from that country. I would never do that, and I'm not saying its fair but that might be the only option to some people.
I highly doubt they would go through the trouble of releasing a game in NA or UK, without translating it first. The consumer shouldn't have to go through the trouble of learning how to read a game menu in a different language, after buying a game in their own country. That wouldn't make sense, and most people would not be willing to put in the work to learn it.
I have played games in Japanese before, and while it is definitely doable it can be quite frustrating, and I can see how it would turn a lot of people off. I think the only people who would be willing to go through the frustrating process of playing Japanese game, would be the extremely devoted fans, and there just aren't enough of those to make it worth the hassle/expense of releasing the game in a different region.
IMO, if you want to play a Japanese game enough, it should be your responsibility to import it, and learn the menu. Or like I said earlier, for retro games you can just download a rom and a translation patch.
Fair point. one thing I must say though, is you can't just go out and "learn a little Japanese". That is a very, very large investment of time and effort, especially if you re hoping to play a Japanese RPG. Thats a lot of dialogue!
I don't see why people want a Localization for Mother 3 so much. Just get a rom and a translation patch (there are tons of great ones out there) and you're good to go!
Same with captain rainbow, I'm sure someone has made a rom and translation patch for that game too.
I accidentally bought two. I was using my tablet< and my dads computer at the same time, and his amazon account had his card linked to it so when I pressed checkout it instantly ordered it, at the same time i was putting my info in on the tablet, so I got two ultimately.
Don't worry! I will not be scalping them, I am going to use my extra to trade for another figure.
Super pumped though! I wish the absolute best of luck to everyone else! if you couldn't get one, I might be willing to trade depending on what you have to offer.
