Not gonna lie, the nostalgia hits hard but I'm not going to get these. I have better (newer) Pokémon games to play on the go and if I really want to revisit the memories, I'll whip out my N64 and Stadium and play them at 3x speed. Gotta move faster...
Honestly? I don't want voice acting in Zelda. It's like a story book; you have the visuals, the text, but everything else is up to imagination. Voice acting can be really good (really bad too, of course), but even if carefully done, it takes away from the magic imo. I have enough other wonderful games with VA. Zelda can stay the way it is.
Oh, but maybe I'm just old-fashioned... ^^
(IF there ever was voice acting, I hope Link gets left out of it.)
Oh, I've listened to the whole soundtrack and while I like some of the music, especially the battle themes (including specific bosses) just don't do it for me. They're still good, don't get me wrong, I don't particularly hate them or anything, and the melody in itself is not the problem - it's the choice of instruments. I love me some good e-guitars, but they're practically overbearing in this game. They drown out everything else (even after they were adjusted somewhat following the demo) and I find that downright horrible. Probably supposed to tie in with a darker setting/story whatever, but I don't care. It's grating on my ears and I'm not very fond of the choice they made here. Just my personal opinion, though. :/
Also doesn't mean I won't enjoy the game because I'm pretty sure that I will. (Some of the old soundtrack is there, too, so that helps.)
Honestly, it comes at the right time. I deleted Pokémon Shuffle a couple weeks ago and while I enjoyed it it was getting awfully tedious what with all the money farming (and I'd gotten all the stones and everything up to that point, too, from the very beginning).
This, I like so far. I'll play it until it starts to get annoying and then I'll just delete it and go back to my regular Picross. Luckily, there's never a shortage of Picross. ^_^
I'll make a store with nothing BUT amiibo when this comes to the west! [And customers will wonder what to do with them 'cause there're no consoles to use them with...]
It's honestly hilarious (and for all the wrong reasons). I'll just sit back and sip on some stereotypical tea with a stereotypical smirk on my face while thinking about Square being stereotypically squeamish about stereotypes. And replace one with another. GOOD CHOICE! *facepalm
Awesome, although I'll wait out the review first to see if it's any good. But "music-themed RPG" is already a giant plus with me, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
Less yay, more nay - at least for me, that is. :/ But it's promising in terms of other games that haven't been released yet coming to the eShop! So it's yay for that!
Happy News? Idk. I was excited about this game before its original release, but since then I've read and seen a lot of reviews and now... I'm not so sure anymore. Lots of people complain about the lacklustre story and characters, frustrating game play (esp. levelling system), repetitiveness etc. Yeah...
Anyway, I always feel so left out because I've been playing Sonic like a normal Jump 'n Run as a kid and I could never understand all this 'must be fast' sentiment. The fanbase is split anyway, everyone wants something else, there have been enough different games to warrant all these differing opinions, and in the end no one is happy with the result, which is sad. No matter how many Sonics I try, I usually go back to Sonic 3 & Knuckles for Megadrive/Genesis (and the original and 2, to some extent). I liked Generations, though. Hm...
We all know that 6 means 'not bad' but it's still a subpar Zelda, there's no denying it. Anyway, I decided a while ago not to get this, I'll just wait for the next installment instead. Wish everyone who does get this a lot of fun, though, enjoy!
Guess the music's about the only thing I'll get out of this Zelda as I won't get the game. It's wonderful consolation, though, makes it a bit more bearable.

Re: Nnooo Announces Legend of Kusakari for the 3DS eShop

Aside from that, the game looks... okay? I guess? Idk...

Re: Random: Check Out This Kingdom Hearts Inspired Engagement Ring
Aw, how could you not say yes to that?
I mean the ring! You can leave it with me and then go, kthxbye.
Re: Random: Take a Look at These Unused Alternate Sonic Boom Logos
I like the fourth one from the bottom middle. You know, the 'blank space'. 'Cause this game doesn't exist. What game, though? ¯(ツ)/¯
(Actually like the two bottom left ones just b/c of the more cartoony style. Not that it helps the game any...)

Re: Nintendo of Europe Launches Its Cyber Deals Weekend With Four Major eShop Discounts
Good. Now if NoE could put up some games I don't already have, with a reasonable price point at that? No? Okay. :/ ('Black' Friday indeed.)
Re: Fangamer Launches Legends Of Localization Book 1: The Legend Of Zelda
The tagline has me a bit worried... Lemme just call up a few friends and we'll do some awkward joint reading. @_@;
Re: Pokémon Picross Launches on 3rd December in the West
So happy about this. I love Picross. I love Pokémon. Put 'em together and I'm all over it!

It's honestly hilarious (and for all the wrong reasons). I'll just sit back and sip on some stereotypical tea with a stereotypical smirk on my face while thinking about Square being stereotypically squeamish about stereotypes. And replace one with another. GOOD CHOICE! *facepalm

Re: Review: Stella Glow (3DS)
Wonderful. Means I can safely grab it when it comes to Europe.
Re: Pokémon Red, Blue & Yellow Are Coming To The 3DS Virtual Console on 27th February, 2016
That's awesome for some folks, but if I want to replay these I'd rather do it on my N64 where I can speed up the process x2/x3. (I love that feature)
Re: Nintendo Download: 12th November (Europe)
Ummm... nothing. (I'd like a SEGA theme, honestly, but I'd like lots of themes and they're all too expensive imo, so no. No thanks.)
