Hum, Interesting. Well I wish Tatsumi Kimishima good luck and I hope Nintendo can be on a good course :+).
Still, I am not sure if Tatsumi Kimishima is the kind of person who will do game Directs like Iwata, but I do believe that Tatsumi Kimishima will present himself in a kind of digital video soon.
I think maybe if not Tatsumi Kimishima will do game Directs I pretty sure Miyamoto will take over for the Japanese ones, or at least that Miyamoto might do a good portion of the Directs potentially.
Anyway hopefully this is s new and fresh start for Nintendo even if isn't for the better, then at least for business reasons. In the end good luck Tatsumi Kimishima .
Edit: According to a article from Nintendoeverything Tatsumi Kimishima will not change the basic strategy set by Iwata. He will create a kind of Future-proof group apparently.
As Pokémon Go is a Free to Start game, I was thinking about what sort of way they will get their income. Out of these two things options what would you prefer?
Pay for Pokéballs: I do think the regular Pokéballs should be free - Great Ball is fairly easy to get, but can be bought if you need more - Master balls have to be paid for, unless there are some very hard and specific events.
Buy to get Pokémons from different seasons: This more pay to unlock that only means that you only have to pay one time for the thing you are purchasing. Like you get the season 1 Pokémon for free when you start, but have to pay for the other season separately or in a collection.
Personally I think the Pokéball idea is more likely than the season unlock idea, due to the trends in the Free to Start games ;^^.
Still regardless I do think Pokémon Go will have some success anyway :+).
Nice ^^. I am glad Nintendo are stepping up their advertisements and hopefully this GameTruck campaign will help Mario Maker get visibility and sell more, and of course help Nintendo sell more Wii Us as Well .
Still what I really want is as many people as possible can get to experience Mario Maker just for fun, as it is supposed to be a really fun and challenging game ^^.
I don't think it is that surprising Metal Gear Solid V is selling as much as it Is and giving the PS4 a huge bump really :+).
Still it would be nice if it happened that SMTxFE would help the Wii U as much, I am fairly sure SMTxFE wouldn't help the Wii U that much unfortunately ;^^. (Still you can hope I guess .).
Nice, I have to say whether or not Pikmin 4 comes to the Wii U or the NX I will still be happy ^^.
I don't know if this is a good idea, but I think it could be interesting if we could create our own protagonist in Pikmin 4, or at least in a sub-mode or a new game+ option .
While I would really like to see Olimar and the rest of the cast interact more with each other, as I feel like Pikmin 4 ended a bit too fast after Alpha and the other two meet Olimar ;^^.
Either way, we Nintendo fans sure have a lot of games to look forward to in the future now .
(Note: I recently joined this discussion again so my idea might have been mentioned already for what I know).
Nice ^^. I am glad for the kid that he got to meet Reggie in person and play together . I hope the kid turns out right and get completely healthy again if it is possible.
As for that more kids get to play Wii Us to help them through their sickness or their injuries I think is great ^^. Hopefully the Wii Us have Art Academy as most kids love to draw and Art Academy shouldn't higher their blood pressure or tension so the kids doesn't become worse :+).
Still I hope many kids get to discover the joy of playing Nintendo games and help them through their difficulty times or just as distractions .
@FLUX_CAPACITOR @ikki5 @JaxonH (This isn't really directed meant to you JasonH, but I thought you might want to read it).
While I haven't really read all of ikki5's comments I will say that there are at least two types of trolling that can't really be blamed that much.
The first one is unintentional trolling and in my view that would be a comment that wasn't meant at all as trolling, just came out that way.
The second one is unconscious trolling and that is trolling comments over time, but the writer doesn't realize it, as it is a part of their general online attitude. (I mean this in a very mild form).
I am not sure if ikki5 fits in one of these two categories, but I hope this might help clearing up the argument as I want to help .
When I am saying something negative, I always try to balance it with something positive ^^.
Like this for example: I think the Wii U should have been marked way, the battery goes out way too fast, the Gamepad should had a integrated function that lets you take one small game on the go, Wii U maybe wasn't the best name, the full version of Art Academy should have been with the Wii U from the start, way more Square Enix games... Still in the end I love my Wii U and the Off-TV function, and of course all the fun games within my taste .
I don't know what you 2/3 think, but I like to be positive ^^. In the end I am happy for that you Americans finally are getting the regular New 3DS .
Yeah, I remember you really well and I am glad you that I touched you so much, as I hope it might make you happier . I try to be positive and friendly to everyone, and it gives me so much back like you did just now ^^. I really appreciate that you want to call me a role model and I can in a way understand why :+), even if it makes me a bit embarrassed that you say it ;^^.
Also I think I already see that you are becoming friendlier, as I read the comment you sent to rjejr . I will say just keep the good work up and you will be fine :+).
(The + in the smilies is just to prevent a overflow of the bright smilies).
Edit: Forgot to say this, how does being negative make my day or anyone else day better really? .
I just want to say that I kind of agree with you that the comments here aren't entirely healthy, but unfortunately that could be nearly said about the whole Internet nowadays .
If you sometimes read my comments you will see that I try to spread positivity and make other people happy :+). I hope I am at least doing my share of making Nintendo Life a bit better sometimes .
@Everyone
It is actually our own responsibility to make Internet and in this case Nintendo Life a better place, and I do really try my best :+).
I would say negativity feed on other negativity and in return the negativity problem becomes bigger and bigger. You could say like in Kingdom Hearts darkness feeds on more darkness, but it doesn't mean that we can't look for the light and hold the darkness at bay ^^.
In terms of that the New 3DS instead of saying too late we should say "Better late than never" and I think that sort of attitude is a healthy one . Note: I can't really just blame this community for negativity as this is mostly happening all over internet to some degree ;^^.
What I think need to be done is to spread awareness and be aware of our own actions and what consequences they might have. I see people comment rudely usually get a rudely comment back even if it is unintentional on one or both of the parts in the conflicts.
I know not many people will likely read this comment and I am fine with that, but those who do read my comment I hope I made you a bit happy or at least understand what I am saying . Like what someone on a podcast say that I listen to: Think bout what you put out in the world, make it a better place.
(I am ready for a email flood if anyone want to reply to me, but please make it insightful or at least understanding .
I play games such as Zelda and Kingdom Hearts and I think both of them have helped me become a better person in each their different way :+). Kingdom Hearts especially as it has really influenced me in desire to be good to other people and in general made me a more deep thinking person ^^.
Like: You should be the person and do things that make you happy, and also set yourself free in terms of being a bit fun in a silly way .
I can't speak for you, but I enjoy making people happy ^^.
I don't think it is exactly wrong to be a Fanboy or a Fangirl as long as you respect other people :+). What is important I think is to be aware of what you say and take the consequences that comes from it.
Where ever I go whether or not I am offline or online I always try to be positive and potentially give people a smile ^^. I always try to be positive and help people if I can, and in return a lot of people like me :+).
I can't really speak for you two, but I hope I gave you two a okay read and maybe even a reminder . I wish both of you the best and having a happy day ^^.
(I hope this isn't taken as uncomfortable or in a too weird way ;^^).
Sorry for not responding before Ikki5, but I didn't get the Email notification from your message ;^^.
Anyway I agree and I think Nintendo should have a video tribute or something for Iwata, whether or not Nintendo calls it a Nintendo Direct or something else. I think the video should come in September this month or at least before next year.
As I said Nintendo need to show their app before this fall ends and I think doing it in the tribute video could be okay along side with announcing their new president .
With all the fan pressure I think the Nintendo Directs will return in the future, even if there wouldn't be any normal Nintendo Directs this year. Also a showcase of games that comes out next year in 2016 that we don't know about would be nice .
Nice, I am happy for the Americans finally got the regular 3DS and I hope a lot of people will be happy ^^. (From reading the comments it seems like everyone is really happy with the New 3DS coming to America .).
I hope Nintendo will react more to us fans desire, but at the same time creating games that we didn't know we wanted .
As far as a Nintendo Direct goes seeing right now how Nintendo keeps coming out with new information without a Direct, I think there might be a while before we get a new Nintendo Direct ;^^. Still Nintendo is supposed to release their new mobile game this autumn so who knows really .
Nice . I hope we will see more interesting skins from other games in the future too, though I have to say it is already really amazing that there are so many Nindie skins already in Runbow ^^.
I can't really speak for Club Nintendo as a Scandinavian I don't have access at all to Club Nintendo ;^^. Either way, I am used to it.
Sometimes the reason why a game comes out later to Europe than America might be that the localization takes longer time in Europe, as there are more languages to translate I think.
As for Nintendo of Europe I wish they were more vocal and had something like Nintendo Minute with a twist to make it a but more unique. Nintendo of Europe and Nintendo of America probably have a close bound, it would be nice to see them collaborate more .
I just hope we get a lot of amazing games both in Europe, America and Japan ^^.
True maybe, but it would still be nice in my view . As far as Yoshi goes this is just my speculation, but Yoshi's Wooly World was maybe pushed ahead a bit in America because Nintendo wanted to have a healthy stock of Yoshi Amiibo plushies that lasted a few days.
For Devil's Third it seems like Nintendo of America wasn't sure about that one and I am still not sure if NOA had actually dropped Devil's Third for a while or not ;^^.
Either way we do have a lot of games to look forward to .
I see . I haven't personally seen Inside Out yet in terms of the whole movie, as it just came out 4 days ago and I thought that Inside Out would come next week ;^^. Still I am planning to see Inside Out soon when I can.
One thing I come to think of and that it is it seems like many people are saying that they are not going to buy Kingdom Hearts 3 if Star Wars and/or Marvel are added ;^^. Personally I don't care really as I don't really have any interest in either Star Wars or Marvel, but I am fine with them.
In the end lets just hope that Kingdom Hearts 3 end up being a good game ... but you probably have to know a lot of backstory if you are going to understand everything that happens in Kingdom Hearts 3 and this come from a person who have played all the console and handheld games of Kingdom Hearts ;^^.
Fair enough I guess , but even if Star Wars and Marvel doesn't exactly get a world, but added as other bonuses would you be fine?
Like Star Wars bring a part of a/some Space Mission(s) like when you are in your Gummi Ship or like transportation worked in Birth By Sleep and maybe appear during cutscences and maybe help you. Marvel characters could maybe be added as secret bosses or at least one in the Big Hero 6 world.
I am a Kingdom Hearts fan and you could say I absorb the deepness it has in terms of story and how they say things . I will hopefully always be affected by Kingdom Hearts in a good way, as I feel like the Kingdom Hearts series have refined many of my values for the better and how I can express them ^^.
I am fine with whatever world Square Enix put in Kingdom Hearts 3, as long as the worlds are handled in a good way I think .
I will buy Kingdom Hearts 3 for its story and characters not technically the worlds themselves, but a world based on a movie I like would just be a pleasant bonus .
Nice list for the Americans I have to say, hopefully we Europeans will get a chart like this one too without waiting too long .
Still... When I see this chart I can't help thinking about what we will get next year, as we don't really know what will come after the first quarter I think like SMTxFE and Pokken Tournament in Spring.
Of course there are a few 3DS titles that we Europeans should get early next year, but still after Spring next year we know nothing maybe except for Zelda U and other (unfortunated) potential delays.
Still we probably have a lot to look forward to and especially if Dragon Quest 11 and Final Fantasy 14 comes to the NX, but we are getting into the potential best Wii U period for Nintendo if they have plans on utilize the Gamepad's features to the limit after having such a long time of experience now .
I don't think it is that we Nintendo fans don't want third party games, but rather picky about which ones we want.
While I really love Nintendo games like Zelda, I also really love many of Square Enix's games like Kingdom Hearts, TWEWY, and Dragon Quest . Also games like Okami, Ori and the Blind Forest, Dust: An Elysian Tail and many, many more games ^^.
What we need is at least need for the Wii U is Square Enix VC games like Super Mario RPG, Chrono Trigger and gladly some Final Fantasy titles too . (And a Miiverse community for Kingdom Hearts DDD).
While I am not interested in Just Dance games myself, I will say if this Just Dance Disney game get even 1-1000 people to buy a Wii U I would say why not .
Hopefully this Just Dance Disney game will create a (little) domino/snowball effect in the casual market to buy Wii Us, even if the chance aren't that big ;^^.
Still as long as we Nintendo fans inform young Disney fans we personally know it will likely help .
As a European myself I feel you in terms of that we are getting Youkai Watch is coming out a year later here ;^^. I think the main reason why we Europeans are getting Youkai Watch later is that in Europe there are a (lot) more languages Nintendo need to localize I think and especially if they are also doing voice acting too for all the PAL languages ;^^.
Still yes, it is a bit sad that Youkai Watch are coming out after the Christmas rush :-/, but still once the amine hit Youkai Watch will probably still sell decently .
@Rhydas Thanks I appreciate it that you say my text is oozing out happiness and it makes me really happy hearing it ^w^.
The bound between my parents could have been better, but both of them love me and are very supportive ^^. Still I will credit a lot of my focus on being happy and making other people happy to games like Zelda and Kingdom Hearts .
I would say that games like Zelda and Kingdom Hearts have made me a better person ^^.
(I will answer the rest of your text later as I don't have anymore time right now).
(If you see this I thought you might be interested ShikabaneHime13).
Daemonite, I don't really mean "job" in that sense, more about expressing my love for Nintendo games and let other people know how fun Nintendo games can be . I want other people to experience the same joy as I do when I am playing a game like Zelda with figuring out puzzle overcoming challenges and getting a good and emotionally attaching story ^^.
I wouldn't count this as "brainwashing" really, as I am really kind and I even sometimes make fun of it that I am technically doing mouth to mouth advertising and making people laugh and have a good time ^^. (I can agree on that I am influencing other people yes).
I am not just doing well... Mouth to mouth advertising just because of Nintendo, but also to let people discover how fun Nintendo games can be . I just in general want to make people smile ^^.
Anyway, I am glad you are enjoying the Youkai Watch games so much and I hope you will like Youkai Watch 3 too, as it is set in America .
I agree with you that Youkai Watch borrows a lot of elements from Pokémon, but twist them up and make their own version like that you aren't "catching" Youkais and instead befriend them from what I understand. Also I think the Pokémon franchise have kind of lost its mass appeal in the way that the story aren't deep enough and you are nearly essentially doing the same game over and over again ;^^.
I shifted from the normal Pokémon games to the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series as they have a bigger story appeal and maybe at this point even a more modern game too . I am definitely ready for a Pokémon like game with a better story ^^.
And yes, it is a bit sad that Nintendo doesn't advertise more as you point out that there are more people asking for the DS than the 3DS :-/. This is the reason why I said we Nintendo fans need to help Nintendo, as you can maybe say: Nintendo doesn't help themselves enough. The best thing we can do us just to politely and respectfully invite people and show them our games and recommend them the games we think could fit for them... like what you did to your kids .
In the end Youkai Watch is a game with many potentials of being at least a decent success because of us Nintendo fans, but Nintendo need to advertise Youkai Watch well so it is at least in kids awareness and we Nintendo fans convince the kids who are still doubting Youkai Watch .
I think Youkai Watch will do decently anyway because of Nintendo fans like myself are planning on getting it. If I think Youkai Watch will reach the success Pokémon did I would say most likely not, but if it will reach the same level of excitement like in Japan here in the west I would say could happen if Youkai Watch is really advertised well and catches on with the kidds .
It is our "job" as Nintendo fans to try to help Nintendo as best as we can and I will try to introduce Youkai Watch to some of the kids I know to raise awareness and hopefully contribute to that Youkai Watch ends up being a success and not just in Japan .
I live in Norway, so I can't really speak for US or American TV channels in general ;^^. (There are nearly no Nintendo themed news or shows except for Pokémon on Disney XD right now I think unfortunately).
That there are less coverage of E3 on mainstream TV channels or TV channels in general might be because that tablets and Smartphones have kind of made normal gaming devices less necessary maybe ;^^.
But yes, I think if Nintendo started advertising more on Netflix they would get more kids and hopefully more adults too interested in Nintendo's consoles or at least handhelds. If Nintendo had their own tab or category on Netflix with both old and new TV shows and movies like from Captain N to Sonic Boom you could say. Also Netflix exclusive shows could be nice and having a playlist of past Nintendo Directs too .
If I remember right I think the Youkai Watch TV show will come out in America late this year or early next year year, and hopefully that will help in getting today's kids to buy a 3DS like in Japan .
Nice. Even if I have never really watched Transformers I have to say it is a cool choice .
Hopefully we in Europe doesn't get something too weird ;^^. (Judging the comments here it seems like people are thinking that NOE will choose something weird again).
I see what you mean and Cartoon Network might not be the best choice then and I am not sure if Disney Channel has the right commercial policy to show Nintendo Directs potentially ;^^.
And yes, the deal with DeNa and the mobile games that are coming will likely help Nintendo a lot if they do it right . Also the mobile game should be coming this fall, so maybe a new Nintendo Direct? ^^.
Of course keeping the work up on social medias too .
I don't know if this would be a good idea , but if possibly Nintendo could stream their Nintendo Directs or at least something similar where Nintendo could have the Directs on a kids channel at a reasonable time of day.
i mean showing the Nintendo Directs on a mainstream TV channel or at least on one of the kids channel I think would definitely help in terms of visibility and help Nintendo advertise more than just to us core Nintendo fans .
If not then a Splatoon anime as we have seen the effects of what a TV show can do with Pokémon and Youkai Watch can have on getting kids interested, andhopefully get them to buy Nintendo games and other Nintendo themed merchandises.
What do you three think of my thoughts if it is okay if I ask? .
I love the Nintendo Directs and like many other people here I think Nintendo should continue the Directs even if they aren't completely the same .
Also it is Tokyo Game Show Next month so we might get a Japanese Nintendo Direct if we are lucky I think, but then again there wasn't any Nintendo Direct for Gamescom either so we will see ;^^. (As a European myself I wish there was a Nintendo Direct during Gamescom u_u. ).
I also think a Nintendo Direct a quarter would be nice and with a few Mini Directs here and there, and I think it would help Nintendo too even if it is just keeping a good relationship to us fans .
Nice I guess , but I am not that interested in those figures ;^^. Still I can't complain about Goofy as I have grown up with him along side Donald and Mickey .
(I want actual new classic Disney shorts with Donald Donald, Mickey Mickey, Goofy and the rest of Duckburg ;^; ).
I haven't bought Disney Infinity yet due to prioritizing other games, but if Sora get or if Kingdom Hearts as a whole will be the main 4.0 edition then yes .
Also it is D23 now so we should get some new information about Kingdom Hearts 3 today, tomorrow or on Sunday ^^.
Still the new features for Disney Infinity 3.0 looks nice .
Well you can always set Splatoon on your birthday/Christmas wishlist . I have Splatoon and I think it is a very good game, and Splatoon is actually getting better and better as well in my veiw ^^.
Nice, Picross is a really fun gaming series in my veiw ^^. A question though, but should we get a Picross game on the Wii U that features Picross puzzles that are larger than 20x15 to really give us a challenge? .
Of course you start at the lower end first first, but starts at 10x10 and way more quickly gets harder than the 3ds versions. Only the tutorial puzzles have 5x5 puzzles maybe.
In my veiw a Picross game on the Wii U that have larger puzzles than on the 3DS could be really fun/amazing if done right.
Nice. Hopefully this will mean that the Wii U can sell a lot more Wii Us in Japan as Youkai Watch is or at least was really popular in Japan ^^.
I can't say how much Youkai Watch Dance: Just Dance Special Version will be able to sell in Japan, but hopefully it will lead around 500 000 if not over a million Wii Us .
Still Nintendo has to market the Youkai Watch Dance game for real and maybe even more than Splatoo in Japan or at least a lot so they manage to sell more Wii Us .
But... then again Youkai Watch Dance might be able to sell itself on its own ^^.
Yeah, I agree with you and I really feel the immaturity have take over Miiverse quite a lot and I don't think all of them are 13 years and down ;^^. While I do try to make interesting posts and helping other people, I have to say it is a bit depressing/sad seeing how Miiverse have become .
While I started using Miiverse just before Christmas last year so I don't know Miiverse's whole history but I do remember when the Zelda community wasn't really a Zelda community. And now by Zelda fans themselves the quality has dropped a lot unfortunately ;^^.
Still at least like you said Miiverse is a great place to look up art and a lot of it is amazing in my view too .
As a (game) discusser I am not sure if I am looking forward to the 30 comment/post per day limit ;^^. I mean I make many people happy by making interesting posts helping other people with information and the limit might hurt me a lot ;^^.
Still we will see if Miiverse will become a better place to talk about games as there many unnecessary comments/posts on Miiverse. Anyway I hope Miiverse will become a better place after the update .
Still even if so, I have to say the only thing I really, really want is Square Enix games on my Wii U ;^^.
But it is Ubisoft we are talking about now and I can understand why Ubisoft sold more on the other platforms than Wii U as the Wii U got... well we could say not polished enough ports which also probably lead to fewer people buying the Wii U version ;^^.
Either way being mad about the past doesn't help and we can just hop that the third party support will be decent in the coming months too .

From what we have heard about Pokémon Go for now, Pokémon Go seems like a very interesting game and hopefully Pokémon Go has all the Pokémons in it .
Re: GameTruck Parties to Take Super Mario Maker on the Road in North America

Re: Nintendo Download: 10th September (Europe)
Etrian Mystery Dungeon for me ^^. Hopefully Etrian Mystery Dungeon will be as good as Pokémon Mystery Dungeon is for me .
I don't think I will get Mario Maker as I prefer games with stories, and I prefer Paper Mario over side-scrolling Mario games.
Still I hope a lot other people will have a ton of fun with Mario Maker .
Re: Nintendo of America Makes Young Boy's Dream Come True as He Meets Reggie Fils-Aime
Nice ^^. I am glad for the kid that he got to meet Reggie in person and play together . I hope the kid turns out right and get completely healthy again if it is possible.
As for that more kids get to play Wii Us to help them through their sickness or their injuries I think is great ^^. Hopefully the Wii Us have Art Academy as most kids love to draw and Art Academy shouldn't higher their blood pressure or tension so the kids doesn't become worse :+).
Still I hope many kids get to discover the joy of playing Nintendo games and help them through their difficulty times or just as distractions .

In terms of that the New 3DS instead of saying too late we should say "Better late than never" and I think that sort of attitude is a healthy one . Note: I can't really just blame this community for negativity as this is mostly happening all over internet to some degree ;^^.
What I think need to be done is to spread awareness and be aware of our own actions and what consequences they might have. I see people comment rudely usually get a rudely comment back even if it is unintentional on one or both of the parts in the conflicts.
I know not many people will likely read this comment and I am fine with that, but those who do read my comment I hope I made you a bit happy or at least understand what I am saying . Like what someone on a podcast say that I listen to: Think bout what you put out in the world, make it a better place.
(I am ready for a email flood if anyone want to reply to me, but please make it insightful or at least understanding .
Re: The Smaller New Nintendo 3DS Model is Coming to North America
@JaxonH
No problem and I am happy to help you ^^.
I play games such as Zelda and Kingdom Hearts and I think both of them have helped me become a better person in each their different way :+). Kingdom Hearts especially as it has really influenced me in desire to be good to other people and in general made me a more deep thinking person ^^.
Like: You should be the person and do things that make you happy, and also set yourself free in terms of being a bit fun in a silly way .
I can't speak for you, but I enjoy making people happy ^^.
Re: The Smaller New Nintendo 3DS Model is Coming to North America
@ikki5 @JaxonH
I don't think it is exactly wrong to be a Fanboy or a Fangirl as long as you respect other people :+). What is important I think is to be aware of what you say and take the consequences that comes from it.
Where ever I go whether or not I am offline or online I always try to be positive and potentially give people a smile ^^. I always try to be positive and help people if I can, and in return a lot of people like me :+).
I can't really speak for you two, but I hope I gave you two a okay read and maybe even a reminder . I wish both of you the best and having a happy day ^^.
(I hope this isn't taken as uncomfortable or in a too weird way ;^^).
Re: The Smaller New Nintendo 3DS Model is Coming to North America
@ikki5
Sorry for not responding before Ikki5, but I didn't get the Email notification from your message ;^^.
Anyway I agree and I think Nintendo should have a video tribute or something for Iwata, whether or not Nintendo calls it a Nintendo Direct or something else. I think the video should come in September this month or at least before next year.
As I said Nintendo need to show their app before this fall ends and I think doing it in the tribute video could be okay along side with announcing their new president .
With all the fan pressure I think the Nintendo Directs will return in the future, even if there wouldn't be any normal Nintendo Directs this year. Also a showcase of games that comes out next year in 2016 that we don't know about would be nice .
Re: The Smaller New Nintendo 3DS Model is Coming to North America
Nice, I am happy for the Americans finally got the regular 3DS and I hope a lot of people will be happy ^^. (From reading the comments it seems like everyone is really happy with the New 3DS coming to America .).
I hope Nintendo will react more to us fans desire, but at the same time creating games that we didn't know we wanted .
As far as a Nintendo Direct goes seeing right now how Nintendo keeps coming out with new information without a Direct, I think there might be a while before we get a new Nintendo Direct ;^^. Still Nintendo is supposed to release their new mobile game this autumn so who knows really .
Re: Nintendo Download: 3rd September (Europe)
Startropics, Never Alone and potentially Runbow ^^. (I have to think about my backlog in terms of Runbow).
Either way I have to say this is a really good week .
Re: Runbow Dashes Across To Europe Later This Week
Nice . I hope we will see more interesting skins from other games in the future too, though I have to say it is already really amazing that there are so many Nindie skins already in Runbow ^^.
Re: Minecraft: Story Mode is Heading to Wii U
Nice ^^. I am glad to see that Minecraft's story mode coming to the Wii U . Hopefully will get more games from Telltales and Minecraft itself too ^^.
I would say if Telltales do this right, they could really use the Gamepad for the better and make it more of a interesting purchase .
Re: Updated 'Roadmap' Infographic Shows Nintendo's 2015 Release Line-Up
I can't really speak for Club Nintendo as a Scandinavian I don't have access at all to Club Nintendo ;^^. Either way, I am used to it.
Sometimes the reason why a game comes out later to Europe than America might be that the localization takes longer time in Europe, as there are more languages to translate I think.
As for Nintendo of Europe I wish they were more vocal and had something like Nintendo Minute with a twist to make it a but more unique. Nintendo of Europe and Nintendo of America probably have a close bound, it would be nice to see them collaborate more .
I just hope we get a lot of amazing games both in Europe, America and Japan ^^.
Re: Updated 'Roadmap' Infographic Shows Nintendo's 2015 Release Line-Up
@rjejr
True maybe, but it would still be nice in my view . As far as Yoshi goes this is just my speculation, but Yoshi's Wooly World was maybe pushed ahead a bit in America because Nintendo wanted to have a healthy stock of Yoshi Amiibo plushies that lasted a few days.
For Devil's Third it seems like Nintendo of America wasn't sure about that one and I am still not sure if NOA had actually dropped Devil's Third for a while or not ;^^.
Either way we do have a lot of games to look forward to .
Re: Updated 'Roadmap' Infographic Shows Nintendo's 2015 Release Line-Up
@Torterror
Nice, I hope you have a lot of fun with your Wii U when you get it ^^.
Re: Updated 'Roadmap' Infographic Shows Nintendo's 2015 Release Line-Up
@mariovslink62
I see . I haven't personally seen Inside Out yet in terms of the whole movie, as it just came out 4 days ago and I thought that Inside Out would come next week ;^^. Still I am planning to see Inside Out soon when I can.
One thing I come to think of and that it is it seems like many people are saying that they are not going to buy Kingdom Hearts 3 if Star Wars and/or Marvel are added ;^^. Personally I don't care really as I don't really have any interest in either Star Wars or Marvel, but I am fine with them.
In the end lets just hope that Kingdom Hearts 3 end up being a good game ... but you probably have to know a lot of backstory if you are going to understand everything that happens in Kingdom Hearts 3 and this come from a person who have played all the console and handheld games of Kingdom Hearts ;^^.
Re: Updated 'Roadmap' Infographic Shows Nintendo's 2015 Release Line-Up
@mariovslink62
Fair enough I guess , but even if Star Wars and Marvel doesn't exactly get a world, but added as other bonuses would you be fine?
Like Star Wars bring a part of a/some Space Mission(s) like when you are in your Gummi Ship or like transportation worked in Birth By Sleep and maybe appear during cutscences and maybe help you. Marvel characters could maybe be added as secret bosses or at least one in the Big Hero 6 world.
I am a Kingdom Hearts fan and you could say I absorb the deepness it has in terms of story and how they say things . I will hopefully always be affected by Kingdom Hearts in a good way, as I feel like the Kingdom Hearts series have refined many of my values for the better and how I can express them ^^.
Re: Updated 'Roadmap' Infographic Shows Nintendo's 2015 Release Line-Up
@mariovslink62
I am fine with whatever world Square Enix put in Kingdom Hearts 3, as long as the worlds are handled in a good way I think .
I will buy Kingdom Hearts 3 for its story and characters not technically the worlds themselves, but a world based on a movie I like would just be a pleasant bonus .
Re: Updated 'Roadmap' Infographic Shows Nintendo's 2015 Release Line-Up
Nice list for the Americans I have to say, hopefully we Europeans will get a chart like this one too without waiting too long .
Still... When I see this chart I can't help thinking about what we will get next year, as we don't really know what will come after the first quarter I think like SMTxFE and Pokken Tournament in Spring.
Of course there are a few 3DS titles that we Europeans should get early next year, but still after Spring next year we know nothing maybe except for Zelda U and other (unfortunated) potential delays.
Still we probably have a lot to look forward to and especially if Dragon Quest 11 and Final Fantasy 14 comes to the NX, but we are getting into the potential best Wii U period for Nintendo if they have plans on utilize the Gamepad's features to the limit after having such a long time of experience now .
Re: Ubisoft Announces Just Dance: Disney Party 2 Is Coming To The Wii U This Holiday Season
@BinaryFragger @gatorboi352
I don't think it is that we Nintendo fans don't want third party games, but rather picky about which ones we want.
While I really love Nintendo games like Zelda, I also really love many of Square Enix's games like Kingdom Hearts, TWEWY, and Dragon Quest . Also games like Okami, Ori and the Blind Forest, Dust: An Elysian Tail and many, many more games ^^.
What we need is at least need for the Wii U is Square Enix VC games like Super Mario RPG, Chrono Trigger and gladly some Final Fantasy titles too . (And a Miiverse community for Kingdom Hearts DDD).
Re: Ubisoft Announces Just Dance: Disney Party 2 Is Coming To The Wii U This Holiday Season
While I am not interested in Just Dance games myself, I will say if this Just Dance Disney game get even 1-1000 people to buy a Wii U I would say why not .
Hopefully this Just Dance Disney game will create a (little) domino/snowball effect in the casual market to buy Wii Us, even if the chance aren't that big ;^^.
Still as long as we Nintendo fans inform young Disney fans we personally know it will likely help .
Re: Yo-kai Watch Hits North America on 6th November to Kick Off Bombardment of Tie-Ins and Promotions
@Rhydas
As a European myself I feel you in terms of that we are getting Youkai Watch is coming out a year later here ;^^. I think the main reason why we Europeans are getting Youkai Watch later is that in Europe there are a (lot) more languages Nintendo need to localize I think and especially if they are also doing voice acting too for all the PAL languages ;^^.
Still yes, it is a bit sad that Youkai Watch are coming out after the Christmas rush :-/, but still once the amine hit Youkai Watch will probably still sell decently .
Re: Yo-kai Watch Hits North America on 6th November to Kick Off Bombardment of Tie-Ins and Promotions
@Rhydas Thanks I appreciate it that you say my text is oozing out happiness and it makes me really happy hearing it ^w^.
The bound between my parents could have been better, but both of them love me and are very supportive ^^. Still I will credit a lot of my focus on being happy and making other people happy to games like Zelda and Kingdom Hearts .
I would say that games like Zelda and Kingdom Hearts have made me a better person ^^.
(I will answer the rest of your text later as I don't have anymore time right now).
Re: Yo-kai Watch Hits North America on 6th November to Kick Off Bombardment of Tie-Ins and Promotions
@Daemonite @ShikabaneHime13
(If you see this I thought you might be interested ShikabaneHime13).
Daemonite, I don't really mean "job" in that sense, more about expressing my love for Nintendo games and let other people know how fun Nintendo games can be . I want other people to experience the same joy as I do when I am playing a game like Zelda with figuring out puzzle overcoming challenges and getting a good and emotionally attaching story ^^.
I wouldn't count this as "brainwashing" really, as I am really kind and I even sometimes make fun of it that I am technically doing mouth to mouth advertising and making people laugh and have a good time ^^. (I can agree on that I am influencing other people yes).
I am not just doing well... Mouth to mouth advertising just because of Nintendo, but also to let people discover how fun Nintendo games can be . I just in general want to make people smile ^^.
(Also potentially making a new friend).
Re: Yo-kai Watch Hits North America on 6th November to Kick Off Bombardment of Tie-Ins and Promotions
@ShikabaneHime13
Hehehe, thanks for agreeing with me ^^.
Anyway, I am glad you are enjoying the Youkai Watch games so much and I hope you will like Youkai Watch 3 too, as it is set in America .
I agree with you that Youkai Watch borrows a lot of elements from Pokémon, but twist them up and make their own version like that you aren't "catching" Youkais and instead befriend them from what I understand. Also I think the Pokémon franchise have kind of lost its mass appeal in the way that the story aren't deep enough and you are nearly essentially doing the same game over and over again ;^^.
I shifted from the normal Pokémon games to the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series as they have a bigger story appeal and maybe at this point even a more modern game too . I am definitely ready for a Pokémon like game with a better story ^^.
And yes, it is a bit sad that Nintendo doesn't advertise more as you point out that there are more people asking for the DS than the 3DS :-/. This is the reason why I said we Nintendo fans need to help Nintendo, as you can maybe say: Nintendo doesn't help themselves enough. The best thing we can do us just to politely and respectfully invite people and show them our games and recommend them the games we think could fit for them... like what you did to your kids .
In the end Youkai Watch is a game with many potentials of being at least a decent success because of us Nintendo fans, but Nintendo need to advertise Youkai Watch well so it is at least in kids awareness and we Nintendo fans convince the kids who are still doubting Youkai Watch .
Re: Yo-kai Watch Hits North America on 6th November to Kick Off Bombardment of Tie-Ins and Promotions
@hYdeks @Daemonite
I think Youkai Watch will do decently anyway because of Nintendo fans like myself are planning on getting it. If I think Youkai Watch will reach the success Pokémon did I would say most likely not, but if it will reach the same level of excitement like in Japan here in the west I would say could happen if Youkai Watch is really advertised well and catches on with the kidds .
It is our "job" as Nintendo fans to try to help Nintendo as best as we can and I will try to introduce Youkai Watch to some of the kids I know to raise awareness and hopefully contribute to that Youkai Watch ends up being a success and not just in Japan .
Re: Talking Point: Considering the Future of Nintendo Direct and Beyond for Reaching Old and New Fans
I live in Norway, so I can't really speak for US or American TV channels in general ;^^. (There are nearly no Nintendo themed news or shows except for Pokémon on Disney XD right now I think unfortunately).
That there are less coverage of E3 on mainstream TV channels or TV channels in general might be because that tablets and Smartphones have kind of made normal gaming devices less necessary maybe ;^^.
But yes, I think if Nintendo started advertising more on Netflix they would get more kids and hopefully more adults too interested in Nintendo's consoles or at least handhelds. If Nintendo had their own tab or category on Netflix with both old and new TV shows and movies like from Captain N to Sonic Boom you could say. Also Netflix exclusive shows could be nice and having a playlist of past Nintendo Directs too .
If I remember right I think the Youkai Watch TV show will come out in America late this year or early next year year, and hopefully that will help in getting today's kids to buy a 3DS like in Japan .
Re: It's Autobots vs Decepticons in the Upcoming Transformers Splatfest
Nice. Even if I have never really watched Transformers I have to say it is a cool choice .
Hopefully we in Europe doesn't get something too weird ;^^. (Judging the comments here it seems like people are thinking that NOE will choose something weird again).
Re: Talking Point: Considering the Future of Nintendo Direct and Beyond for Reaching Old and New Fans
@SanderEvers
I see what you mean and Cartoon Network might not be the best choice then and I am not sure if Disney Channel has the right commercial policy to show Nintendo Directs potentially ;^^.
And yes, the deal with DeNa and the mobile games that are coming will likely help Nintendo a lot if they do it right . Also the mobile game should be coming this fall, so maybe a new Nintendo Direct? ^^.
Of course keeping the work up on social medias too .
Re: Talking Point: Considering the Future of Nintendo Direct and Beyond for Reaching Old and New Fans
@SanderEvers
I know as I live in Norway ;^^, but at least UK and America I think .
(Or Cartoon Network maybe as that channel is nearly everywhere at least I think?).
Re: Talking Point: Considering the Future of Nintendo Direct and Beyond for Reaching Old and New Fans
@IceClimbers @AJ_Lethal @rjejr
I don't know if this would be a good idea , but if possibly Nintendo could stream their Nintendo Directs or at least something similar where Nintendo could have the Directs on a kids channel at a reasonable time of day.
i mean showing the Nintendo Directs on a mainstream TV channel or at least on one of the kids channel I think would definitely help in terms of visibility and help Nintendo advertise more than just to us core Nintendo fans .
If not then a Splatoon anime as we have seen the effects of what a TV show can do with Pokémon and Youkai Watch can have on getting kids interested, andhopefully get them to buy Nintendo games and other Nintendo themed merchandises.
What do you three think of my thoughts if it is okay if I ask? .
Re: Talking Point: Considering the Future of Nintendo Direct and Beyond for Reaching Old and New Fans
I love the Nintendo Directs and like many other people here I think Nintendo should continue the Directs even if they aren't completely the same .
Also it is Tokyo Game Show Next month so we might get a Japanese Nintendo Direct if we are lucky I think, but then again there wasn't any Nintendo Direct for Gamescom either so we will see ;^^. (As a European myself I wish there was a Nintendo Direct during Gamescom u_u. ).
I also think a Nintendo Direct a quarter would be nice and with a few Mini Directs here and there, and I think it would help Nintendo too even if it is just keeping a good relationship to us fans .
Re: Video: Here Are The Features In The Disney Infinity 3.0 Toy Box
@Nico07
Nice I guess , but I am not that interested in those figures ;^^. Still I can't complain about Goofy as I have grown up with him along side Donald and Mickey .
(I want actual new classic Disney shorts with Donald Donald, Mickey Mickey, Goofy and the rest of Duckburg ;^; ).
Re: Video: Here Are The Features In The Disney Infinity 3.0 Toy Box
I haven't bought Disney Infinity yet due to prioritizing other games, but if Sora get or if Kingdom Hearts as a whole will be the main 4.0 edition then yes .
Also it is D23 now so we should get some new information about Kingdom Hearts 3 today, tomorrow or on Sunday ^^.
Still the new features for Disney Infinity 3.0 looks nice .
Re: Splatoon Passes Half a Million Copies Sold in the US as Wii U Game Sales Beat 2014 Figures
@Yrreiht
Well you can always set Splatoon on your birthday/Christmas wishlist . I have Splatoon and I think it is a very good game, and Splatoon is actually getting better and better as well in my veiw ^^.
Re: Review: Picross e6 (3DS eShop)
Nice, Picross is a really fun gaming series in my veiw ^^. A question though, but should we get a Picross game on the Wii U that features Picross puzzles that are larger than 20x15 to really give us a challenge? .
Of course you start at the lower end first first, but starts at 10x10 and way more quickly gets harder than the 3ds versions. Only the tutorial puzzles have 5x5 puzzles maybe.
In my veiw a Picross game on the Wii U that have larger puzzles than on the 3DS could be really fun/amazing if done right.
If not Picross DS VC on the Wii U .
Re: CoroCoro Reveals Yo-Kai Watch Dance: Just Dance Special Version For Wii U
Nice. Hopefully this will mean that the Wii U can sell a lot more Wii Us in Japan as Youkai Watch is or at least was really popular in Japan ^^.
I can't say how much Youkai Watch Dance: Just Dance Special Version will be able to sell in Japan, but hopefully it will lead around 500 000 if not over a million Wii Us .
Still Nintendo has to market the Youkai Watch Dance game for real and maybe even more than Splatoo in Japan or at least a lot so they manage to sell more Wii Us .
But... then again Youkai Watch Dance might be able to sell itself on its own ^^.
Re: The Miiverse Redesign Has Gone Live
The new Miiverse look good and hopefully it wouldn't take too long before I have adapted .
Unfortunately the Zelda community have become memeland ;-_-. Still I guess we just have wait and see how this Miiverse update will really affect us.
Re: Poll: Where Do You Stand on Miiverse and Its Planned Changes?
@Kaze_Memaryu
Yeah, I agree with you and I really feel the immaturity have take over Miiverse quite a lot and I don't think all of them are 13 years and down ;^^. While I do try to make interesting posts and helping other people, I have to say it is a bit depressing/sad seeing how Miiverse have become .
While I started using Miiverse just before Christmas last year so I don't know Miiverse's whole history but I do remember when the Zelda community wasn't really a Zelda community. And now by Zelda fans themselves the quality has dropped a lot unfortunately ;^^.
Still at least like you said Miiverse is a great place to look up art and a lot of it is amazing in my view too .
Re: Poll: Where Do You Stand on Miiverse and Its Planned Changes?
As a (game) discusser I am not sure if I am looking forward to the 30 comment/post per day limit ;^^. I mean I make many people happy by making interesting posts helping other people with information and the limit might hurt me a lot ;^^.
Still we will see if Miiverse will become a better place to talk about games as there many unnecessary comments/posts on Miiverse. Anyway I hope Miiverse will become a better place after the update .
Re: Talking Point: Wii U Gamers Have Been Treated Poorly By The Third-Party Retail Scene, But The System Still Brings Joy
@Mr_Zurkon
Still even if so, I have to say the only thing I really, really want is Square Enix games on my Wii U ;^^.
But it is Ubisoft we are talking about now and I can understand why Ubisoft sold more on the other platforms than Wii U as the Wii U got... well we could say not polished enough ports which also probably lead to fewer people buying the Wii U version ;^^.
Either way being mad about the past doesn't help and we can just hop that the third party support will be decent in the coming months too .
