I absolutely loved Dragon Quest IX, played it for almost 300 hours combined! And this will probably be just as great, if not better, with the feeling of nostalgia for IX from 6-7 years ago boosting it! Hell yeah, I'm really hyped for a new JRPG again.
It's a pity they dropped the orchestral score for the MIDI one (does anyone have any idea why?), but I guess that won't spoil the fun one bit
Happy to see that Xenoblade Chronicles X did quite well with these reader awards! I'm happy as well with the results overall; Splatoon really deserves thi
I absolutely agree with this. Normally I don't have problems with playing games while sitting 3 metres or so away from my 32" TV. With this game, I sit a meter or so away and STILL have problems reading some text. It made me worry about my eyesight but I'm confident now that it's just the game. It's a frustating thing however as you're just not able to sit comfortable and enjoy the game at it's fullest.
I don't think the chances for a patch are too high, but here's hoping!
I don't get people hating on the soundtrack so much. It is so varied! And if you don't like black tar you should finish your battles quicker. The vocals don't kick in until 1:30 or so. I'm a huge fan of vocal battle music, reminds me a lot of the Persona games. I hope more games do it in the future.
Great tips to get started! I also really recommend reading the manual foe this, really do yourself a favor. I can imagine you don't want to spend time reading it on your console and I found it's also on the internet! Follow this link: https://www.nintendo.co.uk/Games/Wii-U/Xenoblade-Chronicles-X-766921.html#game_info and click on the details tab. Somewhere on that page is a link to download the manual PDF. It also works great on phones so you can read it while traveling or so. Hope that helps
Best news from the whole Direct! I was almost screaming out loud for the announcement of VII and watched with open mouth that they also announced VIII. 2016 will be the ultimate handheld JRPG year
I just finished Epic Yarn today. Bought it last Thursday for Wii U Virtual Console and it was blast! Enormously charming and relaxing yet challenging at times. Wooly World therefore is a no-brainer for me. I'll immediately get it on the 26st of June!
I'm so hyped for this one! All those classes, leveling up how you want, choose how you want to live, it's all perfect! This is EXACTLY that sort of RPG I have always dreamt of playing. And it will finally come true in 18 days!
Wow, May 2015 for the second pack, that's so far away! But this was to be expected of course. I'm glad that they are going to include characters from other Nintendo franchises. New courses are even better!
I loved the contests in Emerald so I'm really happy that they kept and improved the same formula. Only thing that's keeping the hype from going over 9000 is that the Battle Frontier isn't announced yet!
I haven't been this hyped for a game in a loooong time. This is gonna be so awesome. I enjoyed the crap out of Dragon Quest IX, which was also developed by Level 5. This title looks and plays a lot like it. September can't come fast enough!
I used the cradle a lot for my original 3DS a few years back, but my XL has never had one and I'm not really that interested in buying it. These ones however, especially the white one, are very nice. Too bad I'm 1000 stars short
I'm happy with my Wii U. Played the mario's, Zelda SS, TP and WW on it besides Pikmin 3 which I really enjoyed in summer, Rayman Legends which was awesome and I just finished Darksiders II which was an amazing journey. 2014 looks even better
EDGE and RUSH look like really good fun! Had a fun time with Toki Tori 2 too, but after I beat it (without collecting all golden thingies) I never touched it again. Will probably start from scratch to see all new things they added
@Metalslime: EO IV will be released on the fifth of September, according to the info in the eShop itself. A bit strange as the retail copy will arrive this friday...
Animal Crossing NL of course, but that's nothing new since I've played it at least an hour every day.
Since I've finished the demo of Etrain Odyssey IV as far as I can (max lvl's, maps complete etc) I will get back into Etrian Odyssey III. Will be playing that until IV is released here on August 30th.
And maybe some Pikmin 3. Still haven't got every type of fruit yet and those missions are really good fun too.

DQ VII psysically for me. I may just get Yo-Kai Watch too if the discount is great!
Re: Nintendo Download: 5th May (Europe)
The demo for Pocket Card Jockey really convinced me to buy the full game. Great fun!
Re: Poll: What Did You Think of Nintendo's 2015?
It wasn't great, but wasn't bad either. Next year is going to be better, with NX and a lot of JRPGs for the 3DS!

Nice review! Would've bought this anyway but great to see that most reviews are really positive. Friday can't come soon enough!

Re: Nintendo Download: 6th November (Europe)
Everyone should give Siesta Fiesta a try for that price. Extremely enjoyable game! For €1,- that's extremely cheap too!
Me myself will be buying that mewtwo theme. I don't buy themes normally but I just can't resist the pokémon ones

Will buy the DK Country Trilogy at a later date. Always wanted to play those classics!

No pokémon? Why?
Re: Nintendo Download: 18th September (Europe)
Hyrule Warriors retail copy for me. Those discounts are pretty neat, though I already own most of those games.

Ah well, there's already enough fun to be had this month with 3 high-profile releases. October is fine for me.

Re: Mario Kart 8 Update, Mercedes Karts and DLC Pre-Orders Now Live
I wonder how much money Nintendo has already received today LOL! Awesome price for even more awesome content!
Re: Mario Kart 8 DLC Coming In November, Features Zelda And F-Zero Content
Wow, May 2015 for the second pack, that's so far away! But this was to be expected of course. I'm glad that they are going to include characters from other Nintendo franchises. New courses are even better!
Re: Nintendo Download: 28th August (Europe)
SteamWorld Dig should be either cross-buy or reeeaaally cheap. I'm not going to pay that price for the same game again.
Anyway, it's MK8 DLC for me Really appreciate the new Zen Pinball tables too, although I probably won't buy them in the near future.
Re: Fantasy Life Offers Multiple Ways to Connect With Other Adventurers
I'm so friggin' hyped for this game! This all looks very, very, VERY awesome!
Re: Nintendo Confirms a Huge Range of eShop Discounts to Celebrate Super Smash Bros.
@shigulicious I don't have a gamecube, nor a old-generation Wii for that. But €15,- for 6 good games isn't so bad, right?
Re: Nintendo Confirms a Huge Range of eShop Discounts to Celebrate Super Smash Bros.
Mega Man 1-6, here I come!
Re: Pokémon Contest Details Confirmed for Ruby and Sapphire Remakes
I loved the contests in Emerald so I'm really happy that they kept and improved the same formula. Only thing that's keeping the hype from going over 9000 is that the Battle Frontier isn't announced yet!
Re: System Update 8.1.0-19 Now Available on 3DS
ANOTHER one? This is getting suspicious
Re: Shin Megami Tensei IV Set For September Release In Europe, Pleasingly Low Price Confirmed
This is really great news! My wallet is going to take a extreme hit since this is my 4th must-buy-on-release-title in september!
And by "all DLC is available as well", do they mean that you can purchase it or is it already included?
Re: Captain Toad Won't Be Tracking Treasure In Europe Until Next Year

Re: The Fantasy Life Adventure Begins in Europe on 26th September
I haven't been this hyped for a game in a loooong time. This is gonna be so awesome. I enjoyed the crap out of Dragon Quest IX, which was also developed by Level 5. This title looks and plays a lot like it. September can't come fast enough!
Re: eShop Funds Now Buyable or Giftable via PayPal in UK
Why not integrate it in the eShop itself, like Sony does with its Entertainment Network? Doesn't seem like a lot of work and is way more convenient..
Re: Exclusive: Free Mutant Mudds Deluxe 3DS Update Arrives on 3rd July
Fully completed the game last year and I will definitely complete this free DLC too. Game is awesome!

Re: Review: Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag (Wii U)
I was so hopeful for a fluid framerate. Seems they failed at it again...
Re: Nintendo Disables Swapnote's SpotPass Service Due to Online Safety Concerns

That's probably it. Don't have much time this weekend, sadly

Re: Video: The Wii U Difference Ad Campaign Continues With the "eShop Sandwich"
Oh God, I won't even watch this. The first one was terrible enough. Can't someone tell this guy to stop making fun of himself?
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Fifteen
Animal Crossing NL of course, but that's nothing new since I've played it at least an hour every day.
Since I've finished the demo of Etrain Odyssey IV as far as I can (max lvl's, maps complete etc) I will get back into Etrian Odyssey III. Will be playing that until IV is released here on August 30th.
