They really needed to get those boob shots in huh

Isaac from Binding of Isaac, but not Golden Sun's...?

Really hoping this price isn't only for Black Friday. I've been wanting to get a N3DS after my original one's started acting up (R button barely works now and Circle Pad feels stuck-ish with a replacement cap I got).

I'm saving up for a Switch, but a $100 detour before March should be okay. Hopefully the price is permanent (or lasts a bit past the 25th) and Amazon is one of the retailers for it. Gotta make use of my Prime if possible.

32GB here, so I'm fine. Got over 20 games and enough space for plenty more.

I'll pass still.

Once we know the exclusives per version I'll make a decision on which I'll get.
Also not really hype, but I can be persuaded, yes. So far none of the new Pokemon interest me, they mostly just look really basic or cutesy, nothing really interesting yet.
And I don't like Alolan Forms. It just gives me Gen 6 vibes where we got very few new Pokemon but apparently countless Mega Evolutions were enough to compensate... Not really though.

Is it available in NA?

I'm only getting it if it actually plays properly.
Darksiders II was too choppy during combat and that alone killed my interest to continue playing it entirely.

Good framerate would be nice next time.

I JUST saw this and thought the art look pretty, happy to see a review on it with my timing.
Gonna have to pass on it.

@rjejr On the subject of Smash DLC, I don't see why it's such a huge deal that amiibo don't unlock the character. You can buy the character for your console and fight against it as a regular CPU, the amiibo thing is totally unnecessary and completely unrelated.

All starters look bland and basic in their first forms, so I'll wait on their 2nd evolution appearance, stats and typing before making a decision.
As for which version to get, I'll let the exclusive Pokemon call out to me. I never end up using legendaries and I can't pick between these two so yeah.

This is pathetic.
Yes, give us Style Savvy which NO ONE asked for and keep Mario Party 2 away from us when Europe got it like 2 weeks ago.
Smfh.

I'd say the worst one ever is 3D World's Bowser battles. They're so lame, just run forward and kick back balls at Bowser with no challenge.

Cringe.

Wow this is terrible. So we're gonna have to wait forever to redeem actual games and everything else is just lame discounts?
Sigh.

Definitely getting this map pack.
It sounds like it brings an interesting twist, and I'm all for more content. Hopefully this isn't the last batch of DLC for the game.

@Porky Yup. I was hoping for us to get MP2, because I would've gladly bought that now that I have sufficient controllers.
Assuming it works with Gamepad+Wii U Pro+Classic, I'd be set for all 4 players.

Nothing for me.
I was gonna get Star Fox Guard alone but it turns out to be $14.99 so I'll pass. I only have $10.02 on my eShop funds and my credit card doesn't work with Nintendo so forget spending an extra $10 on an eShop card when I just need the $4.99 lol.

@Kirk Welp. Guess I'll be saving my money then.
Here's hoping they stop with this motion controls nonsense. It's not fun at all.
The only kind of game I'll give it a free pass on is something like Mario Party, otherwise, no.

So... Since it wasn't explicitly said, does it have forced motion controls of is there an option not to use them?

Honestly, if it's shoved in I am not getting this. Otherwise I'll gladly support the series and pick it up as I'm interested. Motion controls are a huge deal breaker for me though.

@Mr_Zurkon I believe BlazBlue did the same thing with one character that ended up being absurd.
Meta Knight in Brawl also got banned at some point.

Good to know they added Classic Controller support. I could've saved myself the money on a Wii U Pro... but it's whatever I guess. I can use it on stuff like Pokken now which it's amazing on.

@AlmightyDerek What drive are you using?
And I agree, I will most likely still buy Wii U games physically from Amazon to make use of my Prime that I spent a lot on in the first place. The Gold Coin rewards are so pointless it's not worth trying to accumulate the coins for them. Also considering how much of a drought there are with Nintendo releases (I personally want nothing that's coming up) my coins would just go to waste in the 6-month span.

Even the Platinum rewards are meh... 15% off is hardly anything (it's like $7 less...), and I'm not exactly interested in Picross or getting WarioWare (even though it's good I don't see myself using it much) so...
I will probably get the games anyway since it's just 2 of them (and I can get either one already) but I really wish the rewards were better. At least more games or better discounts... the amount of coins you waste just to get 15% off and thus make yourself miss out on the other rewards (even if they're shoddy) is not worth it at all.

@CompanionCube And that's assuming people even like/comment on your posts so you get 10-20 off of them. It's a bit annoying having to rely on people to complete tasks for you since maybe they disagree with your answer or have nothing to say. If you have a small amount of friends this is even worse.

At the very least one can get 5 from changing clothes, 5 from answering, and 5 from reading people's stuff.
15 guaranteed off your own use, 10-20 extra if your friends list proves to be useful.

@GamePerson19 That's probably if the digital game you got was from outside the in-console eShop. Like Amazon digital codes, for example.

I'd get it because the first one was fantastic but I'm so burned out on RPGs I'd rather wait. Default also gave me plenty of play time so I'm also burned out on Bravely as a whole for a good while, I don't even wanna bother just yet.

I'm still really disappointed that physical copies don't count for Gold Coins. I'm starting to buy Wii U games on Amazon because of Prime making them a much better price for what I feel they're worth ($47.99 instead of $59.99), but of course I get nothing even though I still bought their game... It's honestly awful.
I'm not sure if it's worth it honestly, especially considering how awful the Wii U is in terms of storage space.

At the very least I exclusively buy games digitally on 3DS since 32GB is plenty of space for how small games tend to be (and even the bigger ones don't make much of a dent).

@ThomasBW84
Not sure if I'm tripping or not but some discounts might be missing there. 3D Gunstar Heroes isn't the only 3D Sega game on sale. There's Shinobi 3, the Streets of Rage games and I believe 2-3 others I can't remember.

Pokken is arriving either tomorrow or this upcoming Monday for me, so I'm getting that! Amazon better come through!

I also have Map Pack 1 for Fates so I'm automatically getting its DLC as well. Excited more for Pokken though, I need it tomorrow if possible!

This isn't new... Why would they keep around dead levels? Like I'm sorry but it only makes sense for them to filter out barely played/beaten/starred levels. There's only so much space their servers can handle, probably, and no one will really miss yet another poorly created level.

Jeez... Rest in peace man. :/

Dunno why I expected them to give rewards for recent games... I don't plan on getting anything that's coming up so this honestly sucks.
Considering all I've gotten have been digital copies of games I could've gotten something good out of it. But really though, not even a physical alternative...?

Solid review, this and GameXplain's answered tons of questions that I've had, so I greatly appreciate them. I'm eagerly waiting for Amazon to deliver my copy after this upcoming weekend!

@AlexOlney One question I still haven't had answered, though, can you save replays of matches in any way at all? I wanna be able to keep great matches but I can't quite get a capture card just yet...

@rushiosan Fates gets rid of the weapon degradation though, except for healing items like rods and staves.

They're definitely not stuck to outdated formulas entirely.

Damn that's an amazing sale. Maybe I could pick up Rayman Origins and Child of Light, at those prices it's a steal! Don't really care for the other stuff though.

@Smash_kirby That's exactly what I was thinking of. Hell, even the Pocket Edition uses only touch controls... there's no excuse :/

This is awesome, though I'd appreciate support for Classic Controllers. Having to get a Wii U Pro controller just to play this with my nephew is really inconvenient considering how pricey they are...

I understand the left+right stick clicks have functionality but still.

Emerald, Diamond and Black for me.
Emerald got me into Pokemon, Diamond was a lot of fun (and at the time I didn't even notice the really slow battles), both as the regular game and an Action Replay ridden save I ended up messing around with a lot. Black is easily the best one of the 3 but I prefer Emerald/Hoenn overall just because it was my first and I enjoy its Pokemon/lore/map more.

How come they target these things specifically, but not the people that extend VG OSTs, make your usual rock/metal/etc remixes, among other things...?

I mean, it's one thing if they're monetizing off of this type of content, but if they're simply doing it for the fun of it with no profits involved I don't see why TPC has to be so stupid about it.

You mean supers.

@DarthNocturnal Glad I'm not the only one that thought that lol. That was literally the most DBZ game Death Ball animation ever.

@Yorumi Well I mean, Pokken is kind of it. Just not RPG Pokemon, but rather a fighter. I find this to be better considering it's a fresh approach compared to the constant RPG Pokemon games with very minor differences to the formula.

@MitchVogel There's a section between intermissions where you can get DLC apparently. I saw something like that when playing the demo the other day.
Also, if you pre-order the game (at least from what I saw on Amazon) you get the DLC for free which is like some extra mission, bonus items, and a 3DS theme. I'm mostly interested on that mission.

@MitchVogel could you pitch in here? I need a little help.
What DLC is in the game and what are its prices? I can't find it anywhere online and the eShop has nothing on it :/.

I hope these come to Amazon. I'd like to to buy them while making use of my Prime free shipping .

@MitchVogel Same! There's only a few series I recognize out of the whole bunch, and even if I kno w them but haven't directly played their games it never really detracted from my enjoyment of the game. I don't think knowing the characters is that important here, maybe playing through will interest you in some of the more obscure series they have like what happened with me.

@GoldenGamer88 That's what I personally initially though PxZ would've been back when they kept teasing stuff about it. Too bad it's just a continuation of a series though, Namco X Capcom was the game to start it and now PxZ changed names and added Sega into the mix.

Gonna get this at some point. The first PXZ was pretty fun just as a means of killing time with simple gameplay much like a Musou/Warriors game. I didn't mind it so much that I even played through it about 3 or 4 times in NG+, so I'm sure I'll make use of this one in similar fashion.

I'll wait on this, though. I'm getting Fates which will be a fellow SRPG occupying my 3DS so until I'm done with that I'd rather keep my money.

Will wait for a review from you guys. Sounds interesting!

I got hit by the first boss and this happened

8/10 for sure.

I'm surprised Legend of Legacy is already on sale. I might pick it up before it goes back up. Gonna need that Oddworld review to see if I get that as well or not... Other than that I may not even get anything from this week at all!
