the file size for BDSP is so big because how else are they going to fit in all that bloom?

seriously tho they have way too much bloom applied. dawn's felt hat has bloom reflection for crying out loud.

as for ways they could have cut down size is they didn't need to model and render entire assets. since the game is at a fixed perspective you don't need to model what can't be seen. and judging from the file size they did not do this imo

@Grumblevolcano The reason it isn't on Super Mario Maker 2 is there is no way of buying Switch Online in-game. Sword and Shield had it on there before the expansion passes were announced, and you could buy Switch Online in-game. So this is 100%, for certain, the ability to buy Switch Online in-game.

@faint Surprising since my 4S can run it just fine, fantasticly even. My main gripe so far is that I can't find anything without using incense. Doesn't help that I live in the middle of the backwoods that is a peninsula that is attached to a larger peninsula.

A review on the Steam page for Mighty No.9 sums it up perfectly. They said, and I quote, "The greatest sin a game can commit is being bland, and this game commits that sin. It's not awful, there's even some good fun to be had in some parts, but it's just so VANILLA and uninspired." It's not an awful game by any stretch of the imagination, but it's not memorable in many ways either. A great game will be remembered for what made it good, while a truly awful game will be remembered for how terrible they were. A bland game will just fall into obscurity and be forgotten. And Mighty No.9 is just that, bland and forgettable.

I think this all but confirms a suspicion I've had for a while that they are going to reveal Gen VII on the 27th. What better way to celebrate twenty years of Pokemon than revealing the next generation of Pokemon alongside the re-releases of the original games.

I had to delete so much stuff off of my Wii U to buy Xenoblade Chronicles X it's not funny. I hate how the size that the eShop says doesn't match up with how large the game actually is because it says it's 22.8 GB when in actuality it's only around 19.3 GB or so. Maybe the launch day patch to let me play it will make up the difference, but I doubt it. Did the same thing with Splatoon saying it was 4 GB but it's really about 1.5 GB in size, a little over 2 GB if you include the Update data.

Since things didn't pan out with my buddies, here are the two extra keys I got:

B0HH3N6M3QXB9PHS
B0HFGQ0H5B2KR6KD

First come, first served. If you install it now you'll be able to play the last online session.

Got my own codes as well, but I'm going to share them with a couple of my buddies and hopefully we can try it out this weekend.

@LethalX08 I got it to work, but I'm pretty sure I didn't input the code the way it's shown on the promotional image. Mainly ignoring pretty much all the directional inputs made it work. Not complaining though.

Can't quite get the code to work. I must not have the required motor skills to input the code fast enough for it to register.

I find the Inkbrush extremely powerful, as long as you don't use the line painting attack. I'm consistently at the top of my team, regardless of if my team wins or loses. The only thing that beats an Inkbrush on points are Aerosprays, which are kinda broken.

The part that gets me every time is when he grabs the spiritual stones and wiggles his eyebrows. But this is an amazing piece of work. Absolutely needs more views.

So excited for MHX! I'm thinking since MH4U sold so well over here Capcom will try and get it out sooner than it took MH4U to get released outside of Japan. I'm not expecting to see it until the holiday season of 2016 to early 2017, but I'm sure we'll at least see a trailer for it at E3 this year. I hope we see the return of the Lagiacrus in MHX, although that's a bit of a pipe dream.

Glad it happened today instead of launch day. Much unrest would ensue if it was launch day.

I only had two disconnects between all three sessions, and both were at the start of their respective matches. So I'd say the server is looking good. So hyped for it.

GET HYPED!

@Darknyht Here is the thing, the amiibo bonuses are 100% optional. Same with the MK8 Racing outfits, Smash Bros Mii costumes, and the Spinner in Hyrule Warriors. They aren't required to play the game at all. They are nice bonus extras for those who do buy the amiibos and DLC in the case of Smash Bros. Nintendo isn't forcing you to buy them, so you have no reason to complain.

At least Eastern Time and Atlantic Time have some decent play hours. I'll be playing all three time periods because of that fact.

Maybe they'll make it playable after the stress tests? I'm just pulling at straws at this point.

After thinking about it, I think Nintendo pitched the sessions wrong. They may be that those are the times that the Nintendo staff are playing, not the actual hours that the demo is playable. It would be ludicrous to make the demo have such restricted hours for those who can't play at those specific hours.

Finally a public Splatoon demo, but it sucks it will only be playable for a few hours. Definitely going to milk it for all it's worth.

More Shovel Knight is good Shovel Knight in my books.

Of the ones on the list, I'd vote for Wolf, Shovel Knight, and Shantae. Wolf mainly because he was in Brawl and wasn't really a clone character. Yes he had the same basic moves as Fox and Falco, but they had much more impact and weight to them. Shovel Knight has an entire arsenal of moves and relics at his disposal all for the sake of Shovelry. His Final Smash could have him call upon Shield Knight for assistance. And Shantae could use a mix of her genie magic and the pirate tools she gets in The Pirate's Curse. Shantae's Final Smash could resemble Luigi's Negative Zone Final Smash from Brawl, where she dances for a moment to cause the space around her to cause various effects on opponents

I really want this game now. Looks super fun! I'll have to get it with the spare funds I'll have in my eShop account after buying Xenoblade Chronicles 3D off the eShop.

@Grumblevolcano So it will show up when ever it bloody feels like. Great... Anyways, thanks for the heads up.

Nice to know that Mewtwo is coming soon. But I STILL haven't been notified that my CD has been shipped yet!

I got a 32 GB in my N3DS XL right now, so I'm all set.

When I first saw it on the eShop, I was expecting a throw-away 8-bit indie game. But after reading the review, I might see about getting it. It sounds fun.

I have a total of 231 hours into Hyrule Warriors, and it's been out for half a year or so. MH4U hasn't been out for a month and I already have close to 200 hours clocked in it. This includes restarting my save just to rename my Ace Palico. But after my restart, I've made much more progress than I did in my original file.
I've got 18 (Soon to be 19) weapons that are at their maximum potential until I start doing High Rank Quests, and a full set of Gore Magala armor, Nerscylla armor, Jaggi, Tetsucabra, and a set I won't mention due to spoilers. And this file is only 80 hours in.

I haven't even gotten a confirmation e-mail stating that they've shipped mine yet.

Although I voted for Eternal Darkness, The Last Story would also get my vote. The problem Eternal Darkness would have is that it doesn't lend itself well to replayability. Because once you see the Sanity Effects once, they lose a lot their luster. Whereas The Last Story could have renewed online co-op, which could really increase it's replayability.

@luigifan2000 I know that, but it is far too inconsistent to be reliable. And again, Rupees are so easy to get anyways. In a normal play session, I can end up with upwards of 2 million Rupees in pocket by the end of it, if not more because I barely spend Rupees anyways and selling off spare weapons nets you even more Rupees. So this exploit is solely for people that don't really want to to actually take the time and actually play the game.
A game like this will consume hundreds of hours of your time, and you don't really need to be that insanely high of a level to complete the later stages with A ranks if you know what you're doing.
I thought you needed to be insanely high leveled to beat some stages with A ranks, so I started grinding Rupees on one of the Reward Map stages, and the game became boring once I started boiling it down to numbers. So I stopped farming for Rupees. And guess what? I've never farmed again because Rupees are so easy to get anyways, and level-ups come around fairly frequently anyways. So why bother farming for Rupees when the game becomes boring to you?

A couple of things: Firstly, I'm pretty sure it's going to be patched out, so I'm not going to bother with it since it is completely random if it triggers or not even with the proper conditions met. Secondly, Rupees are ridiculously easy to get anyways from just PLAYING THE GAME. So this kind of exploit is really only for people that don't really want to play the game. Lastly, as stated previously, it is completely random if it triggers or not, so it isn't a reliable source of Rupees. You CAN get max Rupees in 2 minutes, but most of the time you're restarting the stage. And this can last for HOURS! Hours I could spend, you know, making progress and having fun instead of trying in vain to get max Rupees. Definitely not worth the hassle if you ask me

I can't seem to get it to work. I know they say it's inconsistent, but I've tried it fifteen times now and still nothing. I doesn't help that all the information on it is vague at best, impossible to understand at worst.

Was a little short on Friday to buy a 32GB microSD card, but I one up next month. I will be picking this up off of the eShop not as soon as it comes out. Going to wait for my birthday which is April 24th.

Dang! That will get any novice hunter up to speed, and be a nice head start for veteran hunters to save on wasting precious materials early game.

I won't be able to update until Friday (Although I don't really play the 3DS version due to the terrible loads times, that might change after Friday because I much prefer Smash Run for farming Custom Moves over Smash Tour. Smash Tour is just bad.) because I don't have enough space on my SD card. Planning on buying a 32 GB Micro SD card along side my MH4U N3DS this Friday since my current SD Card in my 3DS XL is only 4 GB, and you don't get an actual cartridge with the MH4U Bundle, istead you get a download code..

Didn't quite know what to think of this when I first heard of it, but after playing the demo, I'm thinking this is going to be a day one purchase for me.

Why did you make me choose between MH4U and Splatoon!?! It's such a hard decision! I pick Splatoon in the poll, but I'm looking forward to both with the same amount of enthusiasm.

These are from the first wave of codes, but have at thee! And Happy Hunting:
A0711W342FJCFQBQ
A070WT7D2MCK5DNU
A070EQ9U1QH2805N

I'm 45 coins away from reaching Platinum status. My N3DS was going to cover the difference, but anything released after today cannot be registered. There are a couple of games released last year I never got (Namely Bayonetta 2 and Fantasy Life), so if I pick up one of those it should put me over.

I'm absolutely looking forward to both Xenoblade games! I missed the Wii release of the original and don't feel like shelling out $100+ for a copy online (Plus Happy Birthday me because it comes out during my Birthday Month), and Xenoblade Chronicles X looks absolutely gorgeous both graphically and aesthetically along with the combat looking entertaining. But not to discredit Zelda U and Majora's Mask 3D, which while I won't be getting MM3D at launch (MH4U N3DS bundle ain't cheap in Canada yo!), I will be getting it in March. I'll also be getting Zelda U as close as possible to launch as I can, as well as Xenoblade Chronicles X and Xenoblade Chronicles 3D.

I'm going to cancel my pre-order for MH4U to pre-order the MH4U New 3DS!

@brewsky Thanks for the info! That is the deciding factor that I'm going to pre-order the MH4U New 3DS for sure!

@GeminiSaint
A lot of people must be trying to download it, because I was having the same issue. After a few tries, it worked for me.

As Lu Bu would say, Capcom have become "vile insects!"

But in all seriousness, the only franchise Capcom is good for now is Monster Hunter if you want any kind of originality.

I'll most likely get Mario 2, but there really isn't anything I'm too interested in this month. I hope future months have better rewards.

@TruenoGT I agree with you for the most part, but a news article on here a few months back stated that Square may have bucked up a little bit after seeing how well Bravely Default sold globally.

And now to add my two sense to this discussion. I can guarantee that Nintendo is far too smart to buy Capcom outright. The few IPs they would actually use wouldn't make up for the cost to buy-out the whole company, and the other two of the big three are also probably just as wise to this fact, and probably wait to the collapse and IP sale.

Nintendo completely destroyed E3 this year in my opinion! Lots of great games were shown, and a fair few of them aren't too far off from being released.

@Porky I wasn't going for how iconic the character is, but their viability in the Smash environment on their own merits, and Klonoa has more means of combat on his own compared to Pac-Man, who pretty much relies on other Namco characters for most of his attacks from what I've seen from the reveal trailer.

Am I the only one that would think that Klonoa would have been a more fitting character for Smash? I just think that Klonoa would have a much more interesting movepool than Pac-Man.
