@Seacliff https://miitomo.com/en-gb/faq/ Here's the FAQ, everyone. "This application is supported on Android 4.1 or newer. Note: Some devices may not be supported."
@Mister_Wu Do you seriously believe Miitomo will need powerful hardware to run on? These are Miis we're talking about here! :/ It's probably Apple's policy or something, to make people buy a later model. @Moon 4S is different to 4, clearly. 4S also has the latest iOS version. Besides, They don't mention 4S, so it probably does work.
I won't even be able to use Miitomo. I checked their FAQ and it says "iPhone 4 is not supported." How crazy is that? XD It says iOS 7 is supported but every iPhone after 4 has the latest iOS, makes no sense to support an old one.
eShop list opinion: Brilliant top 5 I think, have yet to play Heist though. I forgot to change my rating with the AA Trilogy from a 10 to a 9 because I feel that Capcom was lazy and should have remade it with Dual Destinies stuff, instead of porting the iOS version and fixing the issues. Dual Destinies should have been higher I think.
Retail list opinion: As always, Ocarina of Time is being overrated again. I believe Majora's Mask to be the better game by miles. Have yet to play ALBW, Awakening, or 3D Land(I did play a few levels). ACNL and MH4U don't interest me in the slightest. Xenoblade is amazing, but I play the Wii version. If Fates was released in Europe before this list, it probably would have beaten Awakening and maybe even ALBW. Smash is fine I guess. There could have been better games on this list, clearly, and a much better order. I mean seriously, where's Mario & Luigi Dream Team Bros. or Paper Jam Bros.? Bravely Default?(Never played it though) No Pokemon games? Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney?
@Cooroxd Can you explain further on what you mean by 'future proof'? You'll still be able to play and buy games for it and you'll still be able to access the eShop. And I'm not sure about any non localised Japanese games that are appealing, I mean, Dragon Quest 7 and 8 getting localised was certainly a surprise 2 Nintendo Directs ago. Actually, now that I think about it, The Great Ace Attorney still needs to be localised and Capcom is unsure of localising it.
@Cooroxd Well, Wii was a ton simpler and I was able to softmod that just fine. But when I jailbroke my PS3, I got RSOD and various other problems when I tried to fix it so I had to get a new one and instead leave it alone. Why would I want to downgrade to 9.2? Features have been put in and there'll probably be new ones too. Then there's these updates that would remove the jailbreak or something. And the ultimate question is, is it worth it? What's the point in jailbreaking my 3DS?
@kamikazilucas If you say so. Anyway, I don't think I'll waste my time modding my 3DS, I don't want to take a risk, especially when I paid money for this thing, I don't want a brick.
@kamikazilucas "unfortunately, this is currently only compatible with consoles whose firmware version is 10.5 or earlier. Any consoles on 10.6 or later are not compatible." @Patriplexity Well, I plan on giving OoT3D to my nephew anyway. What about the 3DS itself? I want to keep using the eShop and online etc...
@kamikazilucas I'm not sure if it's even worth it. I don't want to put my 3DS, Smash Bros. or OoT3D games in danger just to get a custom theme. The other things don't interest me, region free doesn't matter to me unless I can be convinced otherwise.
@kamikazilucas Yes, your own theme. And I didn't think homebrew was even possible on 3DS yet, I've been out of that scene for the past year or so, so I never heard anything about it or even bothered looking because there doesn't seem to be any point to me. I meant officially anyway, Nintendo need to let people make their own themes. But I suppose they do need to make money so they just charge for themes and trying to offer as many as possible.
@neyoung8 @heathenmagic
The Ace Attorney franchise is AMAZING. Fantastic story and absolutely amazing characters.
Something you need to know though: Once you finish the Trilogy, get Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney for the DS, it's the 4th game so it comes before Dual Destinies. Or you could wait like me for a Wii U VC release.
There's also a 6th game coming out this year too.
I think the touch screen is only required in the investigation parts and pointing things out on a picture or diagram in court, but I'm certain you need it for the 5th case in the first game, unless I'm thinking of the mic.
No Super Mario 3D World or Pikmin 3? I REALLY want those games and SM3DW is really expensive in the UK... Oh well. I'll definitely get WWHD, DKCTF and LCU. Excellent looking games that have also been quite pricey for me. Wii Party U is a maybe as the normal version isn't quite as expensive.
YES! I've been waiting so long for the Super Mario Advance games to come to the Wii U VC! Impatiently waits for A Link To The Past GBA version to be released too
Wait, so he actually wanted Geno playable as an actual fighter? But I remember reading an article before that said he didn't see any potential in him at all when he was commenting on his popularity and demand. Weird, glad he actually changed his mind but too late now. Hopefully Smash 5 will be a thing.
@QBertFarnsworth I'll be laughing my head off when Nintendo announces a 2017 release for the NX because all you people believe Nintendo will do it this early.
And it wouldn't make any sense for Zelda U to get released on NX. NX is going to be more powerful than the Wii U and they'd be wasting Zelda U on NX if they put it on there because they're using the power of the Wii U.
They might as well make a new Zelda game for NX that uses the power of that console. It makes more sense that way.
@Grumblevolcano Nintendo have said multiple times it's a 2016 release, why would they delay it further? It's the 30th anniversary of Zelda and they would be making the fans angry. If they did delay it, which is 100% unlikely, then NL can just put this poll up when the delay is announced.
@Salnax Did you even read my comments? I bought FF3 and I plan on buying FF4 anyway. I still need a bigger memory card though, so I don't know when I'll be playing either. :/
@Zoda_Fett Well, okay. Of course there's those things that are needed, but I wondered what he meant by lazy Steam ports. There's those required things to make it work with the other system, but what can you be lazy with?
@Socar I didn't say port, I said remake, e.g. Like the FF7 Remake on PS4. I didn't say all platforms either, I just said it didn't matter which one so I don't mind if a remake of any of them was made for just 3DS, Wii U, NX, PS4, Vita or Xbox One, but the most likely is PS4 with NX 2nd. And I don't even know about how lazy the Steam ports are, I wasn't following FF news. I was talking about remakes anyway, not ports. I don't know how you can be lazy with ports anyway, a port is the exact same game copied to another system. Now, a lazy remaster can be called Twilight Princess HD, but of course Nintendo has the excuse of making Zelda U so they can't do both while keeping to release schedule.
@JaxonH Oops, my bad. I just looked at some gameplay and it looks really cool. Tidus is funny.
I must have been thinking of one of the other games or something.
FF7 is definitely turn based, that battle system sounds like Chrono Trigger which is one of my favourite RPGs.
@JaxonH I prefer turn based battle systems and I think 10 uses a real time battle system? I like the look of the classics anyway.
I'll most likely get a bigger memory card before getting a PS4, so I'll be starting with 3 and 4 before 10 anyway.
I agree with you about RPGs feeling right on handhelds, though if there's a better version on a home console, I'll play that instead.
@JaxonH Yeah, I got FF3 on my Vita not too long ago, except I can't play it until I can get a bigger memory card. I also plan on getting 4 on my Vita since it's the complete collection but that's about it. FF5 and 6 have better versions on GBA but I don't have one so I'm waiting on Wii U VC release or remakes. 8 and 9 looked really dated when I looked at gameplay so I think I'll wait for remakes of them. 10 has a better version on the PS4 so I'll get that instead. I haven't even got into FF properly to be honest, the franchise looks interesting and I played bits here and there but that's about it. :/
FF V, VI, VIII and IX really need to be remade. Any system would do, even PS4 as VII Remake looks pretty cool. They just need to be put on more modern systems.
Eh, Blackquill looks better as a rival and was more intimidating. I think it's a girl, mainly because of her face, hair and a close inspection at her... chest.
I have a question, do the male and female Corrin in Fates have different personalities and script? Robin in Smash had different personalities with both genders. (I haven't played FE Awakening yet so I don't know about that) If the Smash version is the same as the source game, then I'll be happy. Mainly because I'm not fond of Male Corrin, he sounds too formal and calm for me with his voice and lines, something like that anyway, he just sounds weird to me. Female Corrin on the other hand, well, she sounds a bit violent with her taunts and before her Final Smash. I'd like to know what they're like in Fates.
"Additionally, you'll be able to redownload digital games from the eShop onto other devices."
So, multi platform indie games and VC games on both 3DS and Wii U and you don't have to purchase them twice? YAY.
"When The Pokémon Company unveiled some of its 20th Anniversary plans it confirmed that Mew would be included as a serial code in the upcoming first-gen Virtual Console releases, and also as a distribution in the current-gen releases" I don't understand. A serial code in the VC releases?? So, I don't have to go into Game to get Mew in ORAS? Or is this something else???
Has the 3DS version been confirmed to have a story/adventure mode? That's probably the only part of the game I enjoyed in Winter and London 2012, except I preferred Winter's since you could actually move around and stuff, it was more interactive too. I was also disappointed that a Sochi 2014 3DS version wasn't made. :/

Re: My Nintendo and Miitomo to Launch in the West on 31st March
@Nintendian This isn't made for 3DS, it's basically a watered down Tomodachi Life which IS on the 3DS, so get that...
Re: My Nintendo and Miitomo to Launch in the West on 31st March
@Mister_Wu Do you seriously believe Miitomo will need powerful hardware to run on? These are Miis we're talking about here! :/
It's probably Apple's policy or something, to make people buy a later model.
@Moon 4S is different to 4, clearly. 4S also has the latest iOS version.
Besides, They don't mention 4S, so it probably does work.
Re: My Nintendo and Miitomo to Launch in the West on 31st March
I won't even be able to use Miitomo. I checked their FAQ and it says "iPhone 4 is not supported."

Re: Community: Your Favourite 3DS Games - Fifth Anniversary Edition
eShop list opinion:
Brilliant top 5 I think, have yet to play Heist though. I forgot to change my rating with the AA Trilogy from a 10 to a 9 because I feel that Capcom was lazy and should have remade it with Dual Destinies stuff, instead of porting the iOS version and fixing the issues.
Dual Destinies should have been higher I think.
Retail list opinion:
As always, Ocarina of Time is being overrated again. I believe Majora's Mask to be the better game by miles.
Have yet to play ALBW, Awakening, or 3D Land(I did play a few levels).
ACNL and MH4U don't interest me in the slightest.
Xenoblade is amazing, but I play the Wii version.
If Fates was released in Europe before this list, it probably would have beaten Awakening and maybe even ALBW.
Smash is fine I guess.
There could have been better games on this list, clearly, and a much better order. I mean seriously, where's Mario & Luigi Dream Team Bros. or Paper Jam Bros.? Bravely Default?(Never played it though) No Pokemon games? Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney?
