Wonderful references aside, I doubt I will be getting any of these themes though, the cost of each adds up. Right now I have got my eyes set on Azure Striker Gunvolt (the game) and its awesome theme!
Nah the case of Mickey in Smash will never happen if a deal does occur. Disney has previously stated somewhere (I don't know where) it didn't want it its mascots duking it out against each other.
Although I doubt a Disney will ever make a big deal with Nintendo. Nintendo is pretty far behind on stuff plus it is a pretty conservative Japanese company.
@Darknyht
Wonderful 101 has also been reduced $29.99 on the Wii U eShop.
I haven't played MK8 and Smash yet (getting them this June), nor Bayonetta so I can't comment on them. I have played SM3DW which was amazing as well as Wonderful 101 which is a hidden masterpiece!
Looks exciting, although more multiplayer options and local play options would have been nice!
I don't really like the special missions being hidden behind amiibos either.
Still going to get the game though! Although I have missed two of the Testfires and will miss the third as well, I can't wait to play this game when it comes out!
Yea that would be amazing. This render is my favourite out of all Artsy Omni renders, in my opinion and would love for Isaac to be added to the Smashified series. You could tweet with @Smashified (or was it #Smashified) to add a request for Isaac
I did ask Artsy Omni on Smashboards as well though. Along with the rest of the Isaac fans.
Edit: We can probably expect him. Seeing Isaac's latest surge in popularity (he came 2nd in a Reddit poll, after Banjo Kazooie and BEFORE K. Rool), I think he is pretty high up there in demand for a Smashified render.
I will definitely be getting this game. I would have considering paying the Atlus Tax since I usually love their games, but I can't buy any games now and since I wasn't as interested in the 2nd Devil Survivor, I might as well as wait for the price to come down. Although I did love the first Devil Survivor a lot, too much actually. Reading the review did make me slightly more hyped though, considering they added some new aspects to the gameplay from the original Devil Survivor (Overclocked).
I agree with the first paragraph of the title, gameplay wise, Devil Survivor was a lot like what I wanted/expected SMT x FE to be and I would have loved it if the SMT x FE crossover played in a similar vein although with grander fields, FE characters and more demons. I still have to watch how Persona x SMT x FE turns out.
After MH4U this is my most hyped up game of the year! Looks absolutely amazing and love the way it carries on the legacy of Xenoblade Chronicles. My body will be ready when it comes out
Hopefully the game has two parallel saves for the Classic and Story mode. I haven't bought Millenium Girl yet, but having to delete one save in order to play the other mode just does not sit well with me.
Game looks great. Obviously graphics are not as great as EOIV but for a remake it looks pretty neat. I really liked EOIV and the SMT game inspired from it (Strange Journey sans map making though), so will definitely get this later. Will last a long long time of JRPG dungeon crawling goodness.
This has been confirmed by 2-3 data mining groups. Including the Cutting Floor.
Get ready for some Hadoukens and Shoryukens people!
Since apparently some DLC has been pre-planned, the amount of characters for DLC might be more than people originally anticipated. Hopefully this increases Isaac's chances.
Not surprised about Xenoblade. It might be an absolutely amazing game and one of the best RPGs I have played in some time BUT the Japanese have already played the hell out of it.
Sad to see Rodea the Sky Soldier having such poor sales. I was looking forward to it. Hopefully it performs better overseas.
The game is absolutely amazing. I am not sure I remember much of 2 (pretty long since I played it) but 3 and 4 were awesome. 1 wasn't THAT great but nice nonetheless. It was the first game so some features weren't perfected.
I would still recommend the Zero Collection on DS though, can't go wrong in having 4 games in one copy. Still have to play ZX Advent though.
I tried the Azure Striker Gunvolt demo and it really reminds me of the Zero games. Not surprising since Inti made the ZX games as well. Although GV is more of a ranged guy and the game isn't as tough damage wise. Slightly faster paced though.
Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn all the way. PoR might not have had an amazing opening cinematic, while Radiant Dawn lacked a COMPLETE ending (rushed) and support system. But together, the Tellius Saga was the best I have played.
And that Radiant Dawn opening! Nothing gets close to that!
@Hy8ogen
Yea foh realz. My award anyway They were most human shaped, sleek and bare bones. Certain charm to the design. They can't really fly though.
Not that I don't love the fully kitted out mechs like these. With huge guns, multiple rockets, sometimes huge mech swords and thrusters and what not. Plus they get extra points for the added Transformers like feature of turning into motor vehicles! These designs also have more variety in features.
Looks amazing. Can't wait to play the game. The environment, the scenery and the Mechs drool
They look amazing. Obviously not the best mech designs I have seen (that prize goes to Evangelion), but the gameplay and exploration options these things will bring will be absolutely amazing!
Plus we can get to see huge monsters like the one in the first trailer!
@sp_initiate-001 Well these guys are former Rare devs. Anyway, K. Rool stands a much bigger chance than Banjo Kazooie considering he is owned by Nintendo and all, plus he is the iconic DK villian.
I don't mind getting K. Rool in the game, the guy deserves a chance + DK deserves more reps. Isaac first though
Now I just want Camelot to come out and say that they want Isaac to be in the game.
Hm this is just the same function as Devil Survivor 1 and its overclocked version, nothing really groundbreaking. Although this way of auction was pretty cool, I used to use the buyout feature before I realized how much money I saved using the auctions. Won 99% of the auctions and got the demons at 3 times less of the buyout price.
Amazing game. Couldn't get into the 2nd Devil Survivor (from what I saw of the game) but I will definitely try out this Overclocked version.
Definitely voting for Isaac, the Earth adept, the poster boy of the GS series, the character to have some of the greatest potentials out of 'em all to be an amazing Smash character. Earth psynergy, weapon unleashes, Djinn, potentially other classes and elemental psynergy, Summons, etc. He would be absolutely amazing in Smash.
Heck, he doesn't even need a sword. He can already summon huge psychic swords as Ragnarok and Odyssey!
Voted, now will probably get my sister and as many of my friends to vote!
Plus the amazing GS series could definitely use a rep and the exposure in Smash
That was definitely not how I expected the game would be like, I was expecting more of SMT: Devil Survivor type gameplay. Looks like core SMT, Persona and FE aesthetics combined all in one.
Still hard to see the FE elements, but this definitely has me interested again. Just hoping the game is amazing and we get loads of FE characters.
I am getting very interested in this game. Although I would like to get it on the Wii U since the 3DS version has subpar graphics AND might have frame rate issues. Plus all that combat might be hard to take in with a 3DS's screen but I can be wrong on that.
Looking forward to getting a Wii U copy OR in the unlikely scenario a digital 3DS copy.
The Monster Hunter games all the way. They are absolutely amazing games and must plays for sure. Although the game might not suit everyone with its grindy nature and repeated monster killing to farm parts. Heck even I sometimes wonder what I am doing with my time 0.0 I have clocked around 850 hours on MH3U and MH4U combined, having fun all the way and doubting it for only 0.01% of the time.
Etrian Odyssey Legend of the Titan was also an amazing game with great old-school RPG type game, amazing map making and what not. Beat the game, just stuck at the last optional end game boss.
SMT games also are great. A game not mentioned on this SMT: Devil Survivor Overclocked which "technically" is not a new game, but according to me the game was worth it despite finishing the game on DS. The voice acting, new compendium feature, 8th day for 3 routes as well some more Demons really made the game a blast for me. Still have to beat SMTIV though.
No need to say anything about MK7.
To be honest, I still have to play one of the Zelda games on the 3DS....
Isaac from Golden Sun. Before anyone else thinks that he is YET another swordsman, it is possible for him to have a moveset without using his sword (or maybe as a taunt - hint hint Falcondorf).
He is a user of Earth based psynergy and can manipulate the earth for tons of attacks. Plus he could have Water, Fire or Wind based attacks to represent all 4 elements if required to.
He is also well known to a lot of Nintendo fans, was extremely popular and is first party. To be honest, I can still hope considering DLC might still be possible.
Too bad Takamaru couldn't become playable. As a guy who has been waiting for tons of years to get a Golden Sun rep in Smash, I understand what Takamaru supports might be feeling now. Isaac might have have been considered and cancelled as well for all I know (sort of explaining his missing AT).
As long as Nintendo doesn't make too many mobile games that are also not F2P microtransaction filled rip-offs AND this does not hinder development of games on their consoles (making their release schedule even sparser), I probably won't have a problem with this.
With QoL, these new mobile games. and the already existing 3DS and Wii U, Nintendo, if it deals its cards right, can become really successful again.
To be honest, I didn't expect this with Nintendo continously re-iterating that they would not bring any game software from its IP onto smart devices. Although considering the deal they have made, it may turn out for the best considering there won't be full size titles like on 3DS or Wii U coming out on phones.
Hopefully they are just byte-sized games which appeal to the general public but are small enough to entice curiosity in the main Nintendo consoles. We will have to watch to see how this turns out.
What I don't like is the possibility that Nintendo is going to work on the smartphone games themselves, hence reducing the amount of work done on Wii U and 3DS. Unless DeNA is making the games, this move is not really that great considering the sparse release schedule of the 3DS this year and barely enough games on Wii U.
I like the concept of the uniform online system. Hopefully this can bring the account system we have been asking for so long with purchases possible on PC, phones, etc. using the eShop balance.
NX might just turn out to be a 3DS successor considering the 3DS has been out for 4 years, it has around 2 years till it becomes 6 years old, the typical length of a Nintendo gen.
I am neither on the extremely pleased side or the extremely disappointed side. I will have to wait before I start hating or loving this move. Till then I am on the fence.
The details seen in this presentation have me extremely hyped for XCX.
The game looks amazing, from the environment, huge monsters to the Xenoblade combat which I loved.
The armour and weapon system a la Monster Hunter will definitely make my game a run a lot longer than intended! I don't mind the somewhat less graphics in character models as long as the game is amazing!
@seb5049 Definitely. The game just starts after the boss because the main fun starts at High Rank as you get to fight many more monsters, more elder dragons, etc. The most part of the game is in G rank though definitely with Low Rank and High rank just as steps to reach G.
Although one complaint is that low rank is too easy but I guess High rank will make up for it. You know it is too easy when the storyline main boss falls in 10 minutes and other monsters in 7-8 minutes. Atleast the Advanced Quests are tough.
Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate is amazing. It definitely deserves to outsell MH3U considering all the new stuff it brings to the table. Vertical combat, 2 new weapons, revisions to monsters, faster gameplay and snappier graphics. The only downside is the slow loading rate on the original 3DS.
In the first 25 hours I am definitely impressed and ready for more. Yet to go online though. Considering I have clocked 700 hours in MH3U (and more later on - I am not done with it yet!), MH4U could easily last me the whole year.
Obviously I am still excited for future Wii U releases but for now Monster Hunter is enough for me
I have been playing MH4U non-stop (before which I was playing MH3U non-stop) and I must say that the game is amazing. The game took a while to adjust to considering I was coming out of an MH3 phase but the game is definitely awesome. The vertical combat adds a lot to the gameplay plus the game is faster paced (storyline wise). I also love the new weapons the Charge Blade and now the Insect Glaive which adds so many possibilities to combat. I have a normal 3DS XL and I am using the CPP, and I don't really mind the absence of super stable 3D (don't like 3D much) or Miiverse. The CPP being awesome is an added bonus.
Still have to go online though. I hope the next Monster Hunter is also on Nintendo consoles, even if it is not exclusive.
Getting a digital copy of Monster Hunter. Before I go in a cave (wifi enabled) on a mountain to play it, I must wait for the game to come out on the eShop!
Atleast MM3D had a nice midnight launch whereas I am still waiting for Monster Hunter to become purchasable.

I hope that is so. I really want the game to be dual audio like the original Xenoblade.

It is going to be tough to play the previous Monster Hunters again after playing through this amazing game (except maybe 3U which I really liked).
Re: Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate has Shipped Over 3 Million Units Worldwide
I have been playing MH4U non-stop (before which I was playing MH3U non-stop) and I must say that the game is amazing. The game took a while to adjust to considering I was coming out of an MH3 phase but the game is definitely awesome. The vertical combat adds a lot to the gameplay plus the game is faster paced (storyline wise). I also love the new weapons the Charge Blade and now the Insect Glaive which adds so many possibilities to combat. I have a normal 3DS XL and I am using the CPP, and I don't really mind the absence of super stable 3D (don't like 3D much) or Miiverse. The CPP being awesome is an added bonus.
Still have to go online though. I hope the next Monster Hunter is also on Nintendo consoles, even if it is not exclusive.
Re: Day One Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate Patch Brings a Whole Wealth of Free DLC Goodies
Nice! Now that I am back from college, I can finally get my download started and get in the game ASAP!
Plus this patch. Having less of the boring quests and getting right in the action would be nice.

This and MH4U are going to be all I need this year!
And the game looks better than before, odd shots aside.
Re: Nintendo Download: 12th February (North America)
Getting a digital copy of Monster Hunter. Before I go in a cave (wifi enabled) on a mountain to play it, I must wait for the game to come out on the eShop!
Atleast MM3D had a nice midnight launch whereas I am still waiting for Monster Hunter to become purchasable.

Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate for me!
