I'm not entirely sure how to feel. YKW is one of my favorite series, with 3 being one of my favorite games of all time, but I've heard there's a good deal wrong with 4. It cuts the roster from over 800 Yo-Kai to 109 (with more to be added through PAID DLC), and I've heard the story takes itself too seriously compared to the previous games, there's a huge lack of unique NPCs compared to the previous games, and sidequests, which were a massive part of the series and were always really in-depth and even often had character arcs, are incredibly dumbed down. I am interested in the battle system, but the rest is very concerning, seeing as it's essentially just a lot of removing what made me love the series in the first place.
This is actually in some ways less weird than an actual sea cucumber, which expels its guts from its anus! It also seems to be partially based on a nudibranch (sea slug) in addition to sea cucumber.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Triple Deluxe, even though most reviewers seem to feel it was "pretty good" at best. Seeing a game reviewer go on about how fantastic and delightful Robobot is makes me so happy and excited!
This honestly may be my favorite game. Ever. I'm obsessed with it. I used to love Pokemon, but after playing Yo-Kai Watch, Pokemon just seems so dull and boring.
I find absolutely no problem with the D-Pad controls. And besides the controls, this version has minigames, better graphics, more Stars and locations, more playable characters, more bosses... there's no reason at all to get the original over this, if you ask me.
Oh my goodness... Lampent's name has TWO of that character! I'm not planning on buying the game as of right now, but I definitely would just to play as Lampent. None of the playable Pokemon so far interest me, but I love Lampent. If it's not Lampent, I hope it's Vileplume or Reuniclus.
I did the exact same thing when I was little! Though I had the Super Mario Advance version. Shy Guy was always my favorite. I've always loved video game instruction booklets, especially when they have pictures of and information about the characters like that. Too bad that era is over... @SmoochyTea I don't really see it as them hiding it. More like Birdo is now fully transitioned to female, I guess.
Gravity Falls is one of my favorite shows ever! I was a little skeptical when I saw this would be a platformer, but after seeing the trailer, it looks awesome!
I try my best not to get admin warnings, and I have sometimes tried to test the admins for fun, but the administration is seriously messed up. They delete stuff that doesn't even go against the Code of Conduct. A big thing is if you say you're younger than you actually are. I once made one comment like that, which was obviously a joke- the customer service representative I spoke to could tell it clearly was- but they deleted it without telling me why. Later, my account was unusable, and they just said "This Nintendo Network ID cannot be used". They ended up deleting my account without my permission. All my games and all my drawings that I spent so much time on were lost. I was able to get the games back thanks to customer service, but still. That shouldn't happen in the first place.
Ugh, this is here too... It may be a bad tattoo, but it's not based on normal Charmander. It's based on the Charmander from someone's series of Tim Burton-inspired Pokemon drawings.
@Rifick Yep, same series.
I'd like a new Kirby series that's more like the games, with the characters more like they are in the games. And more main villains from the games. They could probably even have a few episodes that each follow the story of one of the games! Wow, I said "games" a lot.
I think there should be more 3D Classics. They just ended that whole thing for some reason. A game like Ice Climber could really benefit from it, too. They could add a better control mode like they did for Kid Icarus.
Smash is great and all, but Tropical Freeze and Triple Deluxe are my favorites. I feel like people kind of gloss over them and focus on Mario, Mario Kart and Smash.
@TheWindWaker He doesn't really have a backstory, but he's basically the one with the most common sense in the series, and sometimes a rival to Kirby. He usually fights Kirby to prevent him from accidentally unleashing evil. He also has his ship, the Halberd, which he used to try to take over Dream Land and rule as a benevolent dictator, since the "king" never does anything for his country. He's also really focused on being the strongest warrior he can be.
@ToastyYogurt It'll probably go on the bar on top of the home screen with Notes and Internet and stuff on it, that way we can use it without closing software.
@Luigifan141 Go play Battle For Bikini Bottom and think about what you just said.
EDIT: Wait, you didn't like it? Well then... I guess everyone's entitled to their own opinion?
FINALLY! I need to get an eShop card before then, I've also been meaning to get Mario 2. I guess I'll get those two and save the rest for Sonic 3D Classic. And I'm also going to get Cloudberry Kingdom with the money left over from when I got Earthbound! This is pretty awesome.
I knew I was getting X before, but this sealed the deal. Now I get a legendary of the brand new type, a cotton candy dog thing, and a pistol shrimp, which is one of my favorite animals!
Don't worry people, there's always next DLC. And I've gotten in touch with them (through a comment anyway), and they said they've tried contacting the creators of Homestar Runner about putting him in the game after i suggested it!
There should be console exclusive characters. Imagine playing Runner 2 as Mario! With Charles Martinet still narrating! I could also see Link, Yoshi and DK working. But I also want to see everyone's unique dances.
I would get my face painted as Diglett! Well, If I lived in the UK. And if I actually liked face painting. But neither of those things. So no Diglett for me.
I actually like all of these inanimate object Pokemon. When I was little I actually drew a bunch of my own Pokemon (which sucked, by the way) and one was a Steel/Ghost, but it was a floating eye in a metal robot suit thing. This is better.

Re: Yo-kai Watch Sold Less Than Half a Million Units in North America
No doubt in large part due to people accusing it of being a Pokemon ripoff while not giving it any semblance of a chance.
