I already have like two Zoroark... If I decide to download this one, I'll probably just throw it into the GTS and try to get another rare Pokemon out of it.
Unless they spill the beans on everything they have planned for next year, including NX, I'm not going to care. We've went so long without any news, we need to hear everything. I have so many doubts about Nintendo anymore.
Story-wise, I don't think X will come anywhere close to the original's plot. How I wish this game would have continued the story of Shulk and crew, but I'm still very interested in the game and have been since it was originally unveiled. Gameplay-wise, it will probably dominate its predecessor in that department.
Yeah.... I'm not even going to count this, personally, in the timeline... If that's the case, they might as well put the CD-i Zeldas in the timeline if they're gonna start considering spin-offs timeline worthy.
Honestly, this should have just been add on content for New Leaf, free add on content at that. The ability to run a home design business in the main game and help the villagers redo their homes for payment would have added some life to New Leaf. Instead, they just made it a separate game..... 😞
I really hope it's not digital only. Where I live currently, my internet isn't good at all. I can't really afford to move out either unless I get hired immediately after I graduate college in the spring. Plus, I like collecting physical copies of the ganes I purchase.
I'm really confused as to why they didn't announce a new Pokemon game at E3. Does anyone have information on this? Is there maybe an expansion for Onega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire being worked on instead of a new game?
I highly doubt VR will be the main focus of the console. I'm not at all interested in VR, so if it were true, then NX probably won't be purchased at all by me.
Why are they considering a time-filler co-op Zelda game canon? Let it have nothing to do at all with any timeline. When I saw the game, I didn't think it even had a plot to it and it was just a co-op Zelda romp for the fun of it. I'm not picking it up, so either way it doesn't matter to me.
There's literally nothing on 3DS this year I'm interested in, and that's a bummer. Oh well, I have older games to catch up with on 3DS, Wii U, and PS4. That and I'm adding an Xbox One to my entertainment center soon, so it's not like I'll be in a drought game wise. Just bummed that there's nothing really for me on 3DS this year.
Nintendo better get it right with NX, or I'm done. NX better have the games, more killer exclusives that Wii U had. They better have all their internal studios working on some killer apps for this thing, and it better have some killer launch games, or I won't buy it at launch.
Hahaha..... Oh... I'm so close to trading in my Wii U and games for an Xbox One it's not even funny.... Nintendo is falling hard lately, and I can't believe I'm witnessing it in my lifetime. Im tired of the corporate speak they use to dodge the fact that they really don't care at all about what the fans want, and I'm tired of Nintendo thinking that they can push us into buying crap games like Happy Home Designer, Amiibo Festival, and Federation Forces. And before anyone tells me to "reserve judgement" because "they're not out yet", don't. I don't care, because as a long time fan of Nintendo, I'm truly and honestly ashamed of what decisions they've been making lately, because it's embarrassing.
@FlaygletheBagel I'm with you, Nintendo clearly could care less what the fans want. I hated the Xbox One from it's E3 unveiling, but after this year's E3, I'm 70% convinced into buying one! PS4 I've had since launch, and yes, the promise of exclusives is getting annoying seeing as we're not getting too many until next year.. But oh well. I picked up a PS4 mainly for the 3rd party stuff that Wii U clearly wasn't going to get. It just so happens that Sony has killer exclusives too.
If Nintendo has given NST another chance after the Project Hammer debacle died down and had let them be the ones to work on Federation Forces, then I might actually have a bit of hope for that game. Hunters wasn't that bad for a 1st 3D handheld iteration of Metroid. They could have hit it out of the park this time had they been the ones making Federation Forces, having actual experience making handheld 3D Metroid before. But, nope, Federation Forces will be a turd, and I hope Nintendo never hears the end of it.
@rjejr Huh? Lol. This is Monolithsoft, I refuse to believe they can make a disappointing plot. Yeah, I was bummed at first to hear it wasn't a continuation of Shulk and gang's story at first, but I'm positive it will be amazing in its own right. Have a little confidence for once.
100+ hours for just the main story?! Damn.... I have a lot of time management to get sorted out this year... Between college, MGS5, Rock Band 4, Fallout 4, then this game... It's going to be another rough semester. I might not ever finish college with all these highly re-playable games coming out. 😩
Yoshi could be even better if, you know, if the U.S. didn't have to wait until October to get it! I might be too busy with Rockband 4 come October to play Yoshi, so it really needed to come sooner than that!
If it's not able to compete power-wise then why bother so soon Nintendo? I REALLY hope Nintendo reconsider the final specs of this thing before putting it out.
The only Nintendo games coming we know about that I deem are worthy of my purchase are Super Mario Maker, Yoshi's Wooly World (I live in the states, so we don't get to play it until October...), Xenoblade Chronicles X, Fire Emblem Fates, and Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam. As excited as I am about Fire Emblem x Shin Megami Tensai, it's still a maybe for me because it kind of looks like a game that's been through development hell, but I hope it truly is a quality game. Star Fox is way iffy to me. I was initially excited, but the first impressions for it that are out in the wild put things in a different light for me about it, what with the iffy controls and all. Everything else shown in the E3 Event, including Metroid, is pure shovel ware that I wish would get canceled.
Never thought Nintendo would push out turd games, but E3 though. So much disappointment. The Zelda game would be okay if it were just an eShop title, but being pushed as a retail AAA? Nah, not okay. To me, Zelda is all about going it alone, exploring the world and experiencing the story yourself. I feel the same way about Metroid as well. It's bad enough we get a lame Mario Party every two years, but now we suddenly have to turn Animal Crossing into a board game as well? What the hell were they thinking?! We better have the next main series Animal Crossing as an NX launch title next year to make up for this blasphemy is all I can say! When it boils down to it, I had such high expectations from Nintendo and then bam, one disspointing new game after another. Hopefully they get it right with a Direct soon and have some real quality content to show me to maybe regain my trust as a Nintendo fan. Otherwise, try again when NX is out, because Nintendo is just embarrassing themselves anymore.
This report is exactly why things need to change at Nintendo. Higher up Japanese management needs to be fired and replaced accordingly in order for Nintendo to truly modernize. I honestly can't believe things can really be this bad within Nintendo, but I guess it does happen.
I say bring on NX next year. They've pretty much killed the Wii U off, looking at their E3 this year. I just hope NX has super powerful hardware and is somehow backwards compatible with both 3DS & Wii U games. Like I mentioned in an earlier NX article, have an optional Gamepad 2.0 accessory that is capable of working separate from the console so you can play NX games on the go, launch it with the upcoming Zelda, a 3D Mario, and maybe an actually Animal Crossing game like we should have had on Wii U instead of lame Amiibo Festival, and that'd honestly be a pretty solid launch lineup and I'd be inclined to purchase it Day 1.
@AVahne I mean, I'm not expecting it or anything, but it would be kinda cool. 😜 especially if they could get the on-the-go thing I mentioned to work natively instead of streaming like the PS4/Vita combo.
I hope this thing has beastly specs if they really are aiming to bring the 3rd party publishers back. I also hope for Wii U backwards compatibility and the ability to play NX games on the go via an incredibly improved, but optional, Gamepad 2.0 or something that can function 100% as its own thing, like a handheld console would. Pack in a traditional controller for home play, and have a killer launch line up like the upcoming Zelda and some type of 3D Mario, and boom, we'll have another top seller like the Wii, hopefully...

I'm not going to expect anything, because that my friend, is what leads to disappointment.

Re: Legend of Zelda Maker Fan Project is Currently in Development
Since Nintendo doesn't give a damn about fan input, why not let fans make the games for them if they have the skills to do so?
