I played Ys Books 1&2 on the Virtual Console for Wii and enjoyed that, so I'm optimistic about this. I doubt it will be as good as XC2, but I shall see.
@Heavyarms55 There are already reviews for the PS4 and PSVita versions if you care to look at those, I doubt the Switch version will be that different from those
I haven't taken advantage of all the DLC yet (I'm mostly looking forward to the story content), but this is by far the Switch game I've had the most fun with. I can't believe I didn't get into the Xeno series before this.
I wouldn't mind this if I had a PS4, but I already have a Switch and Xbox One and I don't have the money or time for another system. So I guess I'll just wait for the Switch release, unless they cancel it
@BLP_Software By that logic the Switch should do a background check on all of us before we play, to make sure we aren't criminals that could use the Switch for shady deeds. After all, they do background checks irl
@squid No, they're saving that for the Wii U version. Only the noobs will stick with standard controls, the real hardcore players will be using the balance board.
I'm still wondering what to think of the 2ds. When I first heard of it, I swore that it was a joke or prank. However, it does seem like it would be good for kids. The Wii U price cut is awesome also..
OK Nintendo, what's up with this? At first I thought people were joking when they were talking about a "2ds", but I came here and found out it is true. Weird thing to wake up to..
Still find it stupid that Star Wars Pinball isn't dlc for ZP2. It just makes it more inconvenient when I have to exit out of a game and enter another just to play a different table..
@HeatBombastic Opinions differ. I myself find 3d Land to be mediocre at best, just like Hotel Mario. Not saying it's awful, but definitely one of the worst Mario games..
@Grubdog I have. It was the worst Mario game since Hotel Mario.. The bland generic levels combined with the linearity made for a forgettable experience. Also, the difficulty was almost nonexistent..
I like Iwata a lot as a person, but I don't like the direction he has brought Nintendo.. They've kind of lost their magic that they had from the NES to Gamecube..
I've always thought that that version of Megaman looked cool and unique. Apparently I'm in the minority. Also, you just can't beat old box art, box art today just can't compare!
I'd be ok with them dropping Ice Climbers (although they do add variety), Olimar, and Jigglypuff. I'm fine with having clones, as they usually differ in power/speed.
I was considering going, but I decided that it isn't worth it to drive about 45 minutes to the nearest participating Best Buy, only to then wait in line. Plus, I had work to do on those days anyways...
This game feels rather bland and uninspired to me.. I know Nintendo needed a game to sell quickly, but it seems like they've gotten lazy with their Mario games lately..
I shouldn't judge this before more footage and info is shown, but I'm rather disappointed by this. This is not the epic open world 3d Mario game I was looking for. But I shouldn't expect anything else, Nintendo just loves to milk the Mario series. At least this was the only really bad thing about the presentation.

Re: Feature: Remembering Toys R Us, The '90s Gamer's Paradise
I was never really a Toys R Us person, as we always just bought games from Target, Walmart, Gamestop or Best Buy. Still sad nonetheless though
Re: Rumour: Artwork for Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle Posted Online
It's always nice for the Switch to get new games, but I'm rather unsure about this. The Rabbids in general just annoy me
Re: Friend Codes Are Back on Nintendo Switch, But There Are Other Options
@BLP_Software But should the Switch be emulating any part of real life that isn't necessary? FCs are just an annoyance that aren't needed at all
Re: Friend Codes Are Back on Nintendo Switch, But There Are Other Options
@BLP_Software By that logic the Switch should do a background check on all of us before we play, to make sure we aren't criminals that could use the Switch for shady deeds. After all, they do background checks irl
Re: Video: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Localised Voice Acting is Pretty Darn Varied
Gotta love all of the love of the non English versions because it's the "cool" thing to do
Re: Super Mario Odyssey Will Be Trotting Globes On Switch This Holiday Season
I love how they're going back to how a 3d Mario platformer should be made, not the linear stuff they've been doing recently
Re: Rumour: Intelligent Systems Has Canned A Crashmo Sequel For Wii U
I'd care more about this, but the Pushmo series as a whole has never really grabbed my interest (I had Pushmo for 3ds)
Re: The Legend Of Zelda: Majora's Mask Confirmed For Spring 2015 Nintendo 3DS Release
Meh, I really couldn't care less, as this is by far the worst Zelda game.
Re: Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS Update Includes Adjustments to "Balance the Game"
@squid No, they're saving that for the Wii U version. Only the noobs will stick with standard controls, the real hardcore players will be using the balance board.
Re: Super Smash Bros. Website Introduces amiibo Details
Hopefully they have some better uses for Amiibo in other games, the way they're used in Smash just seems kinda lame.
Re: Mario Kart 8 DLC Coming In November, Features Zelda, F-Zero And Animal Crossing
This is random. I'll probably download both packs.
Re: Touch Detective Funghi Rhythm Could be Delightfully Weird on 3DS
Am I the only one who thinks of Goombas when I see those creatures?
Re: Mario Maker to Include Additional Graphical Styles, Sharing Levels is "Really The Whole Point"
So basically, Nintendo's releasing the tool they use to make the "New" Super Mario Bros games...
Re: Bowser's Koopalings Join the Cast of Mario Kart 8, Launches 30th May
Kinda cool, but it seems like a weak attempt to add more characters.
Re: Club Nintendo Rewards Updated for January
... Guess this means I won't be spending my coins anytime soon
Re: Nintendo Boasts of "Record-Setting" 3DS Sales in 2013 and Confirms Yoshi’s New Island Release Date
Am I the only one who thinks Yoshi's New Island looks like an ugly fan made flash game?
Re: Reggie Cuts North America's Biggest Wii U Fans A Sweet Pizza Hut Deal
Now if only Pizza Hut made good pizza.
Re: Long Awaited YouTube Application Coming To 3DS Later This Month
It's nice that we're getting it, but it'll probably suck like the U one..
Re: Pokémon Art Director Would Like to Simplify the Next Generation of the Franchise
I already feel like they kinda simplified with X&Y. Not as many Pokemon, simplified story, not as many legendaries..
Re: 3DS XL Coloured Charging Cradles Sold Out On Club Nintendo
All that for a pointless accessory..
Re: Pokémon X & Y Sell Over Four Million Copies Worldwide in Just Two Days
No surprise here..
Re: Bravely Default Dated for 6th December in Europe
After watching the trailer, I'm not sure I want this game. It looked so blah to me..
Re: Batman: Arkham Origins Will Be Cheaper on Wii U
I could have swore I knew about this for awhile already..
Re: Feature: Great Nintendo 64 Multiplayer Games You May Not Have Played
Beetle Adventure Racing was an awesome multiplayer game!
Re: Reaction: Nintendo Surprises Us All With the 2DS and Wii U Price Cut
I'm still wondering what to think of the 2ds. When I first heard of it, I swore that it was a joke or prank. However, it does seem like it would be good for kids. The Wii U price cut is awesome also..
Re: Say Hello To The Nintendo 2DS - A 3DS without 3D
OK Nintendo, what's up with this? At first I thought people were joking when they were talking about a "2ds", but I came here and found out it is true. Weird thing to wake up to..
Re: Nintendo Finally Confirms Call of Duty: Ghosts Is Coming To Wii U
I'll hopefully be picking this up after missing BO2..
Re: Nintendo Download: 11th July (Europe)
Still find it stupid that Star Wars Pinball isn't dlc for ZP2. It just makes it more inconvenient when I have to exit out of a game and enter another just to play a different table..
Re: Miyamoto: Mario Will Likely Return To Single-Player
@HeatBombastic Opinions differ. I myself find 3d Land to be mediocre at best, just like Hotel Mario. Not saying it's awful, but definitely one of the worst Mario games..
Re: Miyamoto: Mario Will Likely Return To Single-Player
@Emaan Yeah, Super Mario 3d World is completely "New and Fresh"..
Re: Rumour: Metroid Blasting Onto The Wii U Virtual Console Next Week
I'll skip it. Had it on my Wii and didn't like it all too much. Just didn't play as well as the other games in the series..
@CyberNature Same here..
Re: Miyamoto: Mario Will Likely Return To Single-Player
@Grubdog I have. It was the worst Mario game since Hotel Mario.. The bland generic levels combined with the linearity made for a forgettable experience. Also, the difficulty was almost nonexistent..
Re: Miyamoto: Mario Will Likely Return To Single-Player
I definitely hope they actually make a true "open world" 3d Mario game for Wii U. 3d World is pathetic in comparison to Sunshine or Galaxy..
Re: Iwata Says He Didn't Commit to Stepping Down Over Missed Profit Targets
I like Iwata a lot as a person, but I don't like the direction he has brought Nintendo.. They've kind of lost their magic that they had from the NES to Gamecube..
Re: Pikmin 3 Will Need to Gather 3950MB to Download onto Your Wii U
I could easily fit that on my 500 gb harddrive. The question is whether it's worth it or not.
Re: Weirdness: The Mystery of the Mega Man 2 Box Art Pistol is Explained
I've always thought that that version of Megaman looked cool and unique. Apparently I'm in the minority. Also, you just can't beat old box art, box art today just can't compare!
Re: First Impressions: Sonic Lost World
Can't wait! I'm actually way more excited for this than 3d World!
Re: Nintendo Teases Majora's Mask Remake Again, Again
What's with all the remakes? I'd rather have Nintendo put their resources to something new, not an overrated N64 game..
Re: Not All Super Smash Bros. Characters Will Make The Leap To Wii U And 3DS
I'd be ok with them dropping Ice Climbers (although they do add variety), Olimar, and Jigglypuff. I'm fine with having clones, as they usually differ in power/speed.
Also, DLC!
Re: Impressions: The Best Buy "Nintendo Experience"
I was considering going, but I decided that it isn't worth it to drive about 45 minutes to the nearest participating Best Buy, only to then wait in line. Plus, I had work to do on those days anyways...
Re: Weirdness: If Only Monster Hunter Was Released on the Game Boy
I'd way rather play this over the 3d versions..
Re: Sakurai: New Super Smash Bros. To Strike A Balance Between Hardcore And Casual
@SockoMario I agree 100%. While I think Melee was more revolutionary, Brawl is automatically better due to more content and such..
Re: First Impressions: Super Mario 3D World
This game feels rather bland and uninspired to me.. I know Nintendo needed a game to sell quickly, but it seems like they've gotten lazy with their Mario games lately..
Re: Poll: Which Wii U E3 Game Has Impressed You the Most?
I was split between MK8, Monolith's title, and Smash Bros, but I ultimately went with Smash Bros..
Re: Super Smash Bros. Footage Revealed, Mega Man Introduced as a New Challenger
So excited for this!! The 3d version looked good, but I'm stoked about the Wii U version. Megaman was a great addition!
Re: Super Mario 3D World Coming To Wii U This December
I shouldn't judge this before more footage and info is shown, but I'm rather disappointed by this. This is not the epic open world 3d Mario game I was looking for. But I shouldn't expect anything else, Nintendo just loves to milk the Mario series. At least this was the only really bad thing about the presentation.
Re: Nintendo Confirms E3 Best Buy Demo Locations
You know, it's kinda funny Best Buy didn't have more locations in MN since their headquarters are here in Bloomington..
