Am I misunderstanding the point of the article? There isn't a remake for Phantom Hourglass or Spirit Tracks. Both of which are 3D Zeldas from before BOTW.
Just backed it. First time I've backed a game on Kickstarter. For as much as I love Pokemon, I've always hated how it's so dominant in the monster training genre that it seems to have scared away most competition. I really hope this game turns out to be good and perhaps inspires others to try and make more monster taming games.
I feel like the random distribution model would make more sense if they added more different pokeballs to the pool of available balls. This odd choice aside, they are quite nice.
@Furealz I've played 3 of the previous Disgaea games. While there is a lot of depth there, you only really need to get into it if you want to start playing the massive post game. If you just want to play the main game you don't need to worry too much about difficulty. You can typically get by using just the characters unlocked via the main story and forget about the huge number of classes. If you ever do get stuck you can grind up levels pretty quickly and having even a slight level advantage over the enemies should still make fighting very easy.
I'd say that the Disgaea games may even be easier than Fire Emblem since Disgaea's AI has been pretty bad in the past.
I don't really care for the English voices for Zelda and her father (I prefer the Japanese) but everything else sounds pretty good. Even though it was probably the shortest clip, I like all of the Goron's voices.
I get the feeling that they are only saying it isn't finalized because they don't want a lot of negativity surrounding the game prior to launch. It will probably still be $60 American.
This does look like it could be a handy accessory but I can't help but feel like this read a bit like an ad. Not complaining though, leading up to the Switch's reveal just about anything even mildly related is probably news worthy.
I really hope this is true. I'm playing through Earthbound for the first time right now and I'm nearly done. I'm willing to emulate Mother 3 if I have to but I prefer to play the official release and support the games.
I honestly don't love the pixel art for this game. The top screen version, however, is amazing. Here's to hoping that this game is localized on at least 1 Nintendo system. My hopes are high since we just got 7 and 8 not too long ago.
I don't really care for the "just for you" rewards. I don't have access to the discounted Tomodachi Life offer. Every discount they are offering to me is of a game I already own. Additionally, In the future I'd like to see physical rewards. Other than these 2 complaints I think the service is pretty cool. It looks nice and it appears to work well unlike some Nintendo websites in the past which have had issues with handling large traffic.
This is a shame. I've played every Scribblenauts game and have loved them all (perhaps with the exception of unmasked as I'm not a huge DC fan). I hope the people behind the series can continue to find a way to showcase their creativity elsewhere in the future.
Every logical part of my brain says that nobody could look and this controller and say "This is what we want for the NX". But at the same time that's sort of how I feel about the Wii U gamepad. I loved the Wii U but only for the amazing games that it had. I really hope the NX goes for a normal controller this time.
I am absolutely getting both games. It's just a shame that all the stores in my area ran out of pre-orders for the special edition so quickly that I couldn't get one.
It looks pretty good. The only thing that I didn't like was the sound that played when jumping but that's a minor complaint. I really love 3D platformers so I think I'll give this a try when it comes out.
I think the character costumes look better personally but I don't like the censoring of costumes in games. The game is already rated M and if it was in the original there is no reason it shouldn't be here.
The nearest Toys "R" Us is almost a 2 hour drive from my house. It's just not worth it for me. I don't really care about the mii's but I did want a Villager. I don't really like all of the retailer exclusives.
I wasn't upset about the way the unlock system worked before but I do think that this is the better choice. Also, it's nice to see Nintendo listening to their fans.
The videos were pretty cool. Glad to see Mat Pat, seeing as Game Theory is my favorite show on YouTube. It's a shame so many people are being mean in the comments section of iJustine's video though.
My school banned Pokemon cards and from the looks of this comments section so did many other schools. I wonder why that was. It kept a lot of kids from fighting out of sheer boredom.
I'm perfectly fine without online multiplayer. I feel like too many game focus heavily on the online components and the singleplayer is underwhelming as a result.
I don't know what to believe right now but I know that I rather they delay the game than release a broken one. I'll wait to see if Mighty No. 9 is any good before I start to complain about anything.
I've played Quiet Please on the PS Vita. It was fun but extremely short. I can't say I know what the other games will be like but I don't think that they will be worth the 5 dollars.
I'm not getting my hopes up too much but I hope these games turn out to be decent. I don't love mobile games but there have been some decent ones in the past. As far as characters go I want to see Kirby.
I typically don't love multi-player games so I hope the single player is decent. I love platformers and the teleportation mechanic looks like like fun.
I didn't get to play a single match. They should have moved it to another date instead of extending it, I didn't know about the extension until after it was over. At least I got to level 15 in Squid Jump.
I'm totally ok with this. I used to pay full price for two nearly identical pokemon games. Paying a bit extra for a new campaign (starting at chapter 6) in one of my favorite game series is no big deal.
At first I was a little worried about the DeNA thing but after I've heard more about it I don't think It's that bad of an idea. I'm excited to hear more. Maybe if Nintendo makes a smartphone game I'll have something decent to play in short doses between classes if I forget my 3DS or the battery is dead.

Re: Super Mario Run Sprints Onto Android This March
I was thinking about downloading this when it came out but by March I probably won't need my cell phone for mobile gaming for a while after.

Re: The Race is on to Catch 100 Million Pokémon in Sun and Moon
Does anyone know if the number is based on the number of pokemon listed as "caught" in your pokedex or the total number of pokemon you have acquired?
Re: Unwanted Side-Effects Of Pokémon GO Include Robbery, Personal Injury And Dangerous Driving
@Danrenfroe2016 What about people using public transportation or those who are passengers in cars?
Re: A Second Culdcept Revolt Nintendo Direct is on the Way in Japan
I have no idea what they're saying but the game looks kind of interesting. It's a shame it probably won't be coming to the west but I understand why.

Re: Rumour: New Nintendo NX Controller Images Surface and Set the Web Alight
Oh please let this be fake. At the very least give it physical buttons. Is that really too much to ask?

Re: Pokémon Sun and Moon
I had kind of fallen out of Pokemon before Black and White came out but now I'm more into it than ever and I'm super hyped for a new generation.
Re: Pokémon Photo Booth Can Now Be Downloaded Off of the App Store
@NIN10DOXD Doesn't the article specifically say there are plans for an Android version?
Re: Pokémon Photo Booth Can Now Be Downloaded Off of the App Store
Maybe I'll check it out when it comes to Android.

Re: The Teaser Site For Fire Emblem Fates Has Just Gone Up in North America
I'm glad that you can get one game at a discounted rate if you buy the other. I could never find a clear answer to if that was the case or not.
Re: Editorial: Xenoblade Chronicles X Has Tiny Text - Time for an Update?
The text can be way too small at times. I think it would be even worse for somebody with a smaller TV screen too.
Re: Video: The Latest Xenoblade Chronicles X Survival Guide Maps Out How to Use the GamePad
These "Survival Guide" videos have all been really good. I'm more hyped than ever for this game.
Re: Video: Learn All About Skells in This Xenoblade Chronicles X Survival Guide
With the release schedule for these videos I'm wondering if we'll see the next one before the game is out.
Re: Yes, Fatal Frame's Lingerie Outfits Have Been Removed From The Western Version

Re: Co-Op Teleporting Platformer Roving Rogue Releases On Wii U eShop July 2nd

Re: Feature: Yoshi's Woolly World, Like Kirby's Epic Yarn Before It, Offers Unique Chill-Out Platforming

Re: YouTube Stars Aren't Happy With Nintendo's Revenue-Sharing 'Creators Program'
I think youtubers should be glad that they can make money off of playing video games at all. It's just a hobby that costs money for most people.
Re: Review: Xtreme Sports (3DS eShop / Game Boy Color)
I'm glad that I have some extra money on my eshop account. This game sounds pretty good, I think I'll pick it up.
Re: The Mysterious Murasame Castle Set For North American Début on 7th August
Looks cool to me. I think I'll pick this up when it comes out here in North America.
Re: Nintendo Download: 24th July (North America)
So still no Pokemon TCG, that's a shame.
