Because of Digimon World Re;Digitize Decode on 3DS the Citra Emulator got an update to make most game playable, it was mostly for the crew to be able to translate it.
The performance on standard 3DS can go sub 30 FPS, for those already owning the Wii U version and no New 3DS you are at loss. The Wii U will oly get New Characters and Weapons but no new adventure maps or story missions, the fairy is also 3DS exclusive.
It's only worth it if you have a New 3DS and never played the Wii U version.
Nothing for me this week. I once wanted Legends but learning the subpar performance on 3DS and how the Wii U version get screwed with just new characters and weapons without any other content I'll pass.
I wish Nintendo would of updated their Miis since Wii with new noses, eyes, etc. Because it end up being really limited compared to similar characters on other consoles.
@Andrzej777 The 3DS come with all the Wii U stuff by default that means all the season pass Wii u got prior to Legends, except maybe a mode and challenge that's it.
In the end the Wii U get shafted since it only get new characters with weapons but no new maps to play them with so those who already did 100% of Hyrule Warriors on Wii U will need to grind the new characters in the old maps.
Even with the Wii u season pass and the 3DS code it's not worth it for the Wii U. Sorry only new characters and weapons for them wont do it, I want more maps than the usual maps I already got on Wii U, and for those who already got everything done on Wii U it will be plain boring to just level up the new characters at max level with no new content.
It seems the definitive version is now the 3DS version who has everything the Wii U has + more. Too bad it's only playable on New 3DS since the 3DS is struggling just to play it properly.
Hopefully if it's true they need to change the design a bit because for now it will sink even more than the Wii U if the NX keep a controller like that.
The problem I see is levels getting deleted 1hour after creation, they think everyone is a youtuber who get 5000 plays in less than 1hour on their level or what ?
@Wexter Overall they cut most support dialogues or even over simplified them for no reasons. Like the whole story behind Sakura got kind of skipped in the localization. You can see most changes here.
Also the avatar Son is forever alone instead of being able to S support with only one girl in the Japanese version. http://imgur.com/a/X2w49
I'm scared of future Nintendo of America localized games now. Seems they will get the message that even if they butcher a game on localization that people won't mind and will still buy the games.
I was not really interested overall with the games, since I don't really play my 3DS as often. Kind of sad that Hyrule Warriors Legends transfer is only characters and a weapon with nothing else, it also get all the Wii U DLC for cheaper on top of getting new DLC and season pass.
Already saw the whole new stuff in English on youtube since you can tweak the game to unlock English menu, subs, videos and voices.
The game pretty much need a New 3DS to enjoy it because of the cluster of enemies.
Only the characters and Ganondorf weapons are transferable from a code you get with the game, so no new adventure map or story mode for Wii U users just some new characters in maps you already played on Wii U.
So far 3DS get all the Wii U DLC except some modes and some new story and maps for less than the whole Wii U game + season pass.
It's understandable for Guitar Hero since most people can play the older versions with custom songs and there's also Rock Band. The genre is not as popular as it was back then too.
For Skylanders probably the amiibos and Disney infinity figures shot them down with the new Star Wars, Pixar and Marvel figures added in 3.0.
For Call of Duty I don't really know what is the reason, maybe fans of it changed of series.
The problem with those kind of localization when they cut content is that some developers decide to not localize at all if they can't get their game untouched for west.
An example is Dead or Alive Xtreme 3, you can still get it in English but you would need to import the Asian version.
Also if I remember Idea Factory will no more localize a game if they need to cut the content for it to be localized.
Here's Haru Akenaga quote: "That’s honestly their decision, but yes, sadly, it has stopped us from localizing certain Compile Heart games. We don’t want to censor anymore because we know that’s not true to the original developed art."
And here's a second quote from Akenaga: "That’s actually Compile Heart Asia’s decision, not really ours. We could start seeing that more in Asia, but maybe we should do something to change in the West in the future. Anyway, we just don’t want to censor anymore."
Let's just hope they keep localizing games. We can always import but imports will affect only their market and not ours, making it less likely to get localizations.
So other Zelda amiibos change the game by giving free arrows, healing the hearts, etc. Seems that hero mode will be easier if you got a Zelda amiibo, almost sound like Pay2Win.
Only Ganondorf has a malus that increase the game difficulty.
Sadly just the characters on Wii U wont do it, how will they get their level 3 weapons ? Do we need to unlock all of their stuff on 3DS and then transfer to Wii U with their level 3 weapon ? It would be great if at least the Wii U version would get the Adventure map of Wind Waker.
It's not really worth it to play the game on the 3DS since it will probably lag when enough enemies will show up, also the lack of C-Stick will make it harder to play.
If it's only characters transfert with no new adventure map or story mode transfert it's not even worth it for Wii U owners.
What would you do with only new characters on Wii U if you already completed all the Adventure Maps, how will you get the new weapons for them if you don't have their Adventure Map ? Will they stay with only level 1 weapon ?
Prob the 7th Gen Pokemon that will show up in the last Gen 6 movie, they did that quite often with movies by showing next gen pokemons before their games. The first Pokemon Movie has Donphan showing up for example.
I think it's worst to replace it by a Cowboy outfit than just slightly change it. Seriously it's worst than censorship if you replace a Native American by a Cowboy.
Not really hyped about VR,it's just a screen in front of your eyes with motion controls using your head. If we get VR to the point we can just move with using our mind now this will be interesting.

Re: Review: Pokkén Tournament (Wii U)
At least the review is great unlike good old IGN that don't know how to review a game.

Overwhelming Mechanics, seems that guy never played a fighting game. So since he suck at fighting game he put it as a cons.

Re: Video: New Hyrule Warriors Legends Trailer Shows Off the Playable Cast
The 3DS version will be slower tho I think even with he New 3DS you will get more slowdown than on Wii U.
The other mode that is not on 3DS is the Ganon one if I remember.

Re: Nintendo Gives Us A Friendly Recap On Why We Should Be Excited About Hyrule Warriors Legends
I think playing it with a normal 3DS will make it harder to play because of no C stick and less RAM. The game will probably slow down more.
Re: Nintendo Gives Us A Friendly Recap On Why We Should Be Excited About Hyrule Warriors Legends
If it's only characters transfert with no new adventure map or story mode transfert it's not even worth it for Wii U owners.
What would you do with only new characters on Wii U if you already completed all the Adventure Maps, how will you get the new weapons for them if you don't have their Adventure Map ? Will they stay with only level 1 weapon ?
