It's pretty cool. But I'll get Skylanders Trap Team this Fall instead. I'll still collect the figures and I'll probably get the game, but later on that is. I'd rather get Skylanders.
@AyeHaley I felt the same way when I started getting into Skylanders, but looking back, there's not that many old characters I find interesting. And even so, I'm not aiming to collect them all, just the ones I like. And most of the original characters keep re-releasing with new, better looking, figures with improved powers and abilities, so I'd rather get those.
Wasn't really a fan of the single game directs before, but with Smash & Tomodachi it's been absolutely fun! I find them really enjoyable and I retain a lot more info on these games making me want them more.
I think the main issue with many of these games not getting enough funding is the lack of involvement with the online community. Games like Mighty No. 9, Shovel Knight, and Shantae got theirs names out EVERYWHERE on like every gaming website and were really responsive with the fans and backers. Because I've barely heard anyone speak about games like Tom Sparks or Flying Hamster, and from the looks of it, it's because they just don't seem to get that into their own advertising.
Hex Heroes is practically the only one here we can definitely reach quickly (aside from Twisted Fusion). It just needs a little more support and get it's name out there even more!
@Bluezealand ah I see, well I'm not too well informed on the Inazuma Eleven franchise. I'm really just aware of the eShop game we US gamers got recently.
This is why I love the Wii U. It's different. I don't hate the PS4 or XBONE, they're both really powerful and impressive. But, when playing with them, they really do feel exactly how they did last generation. And it doesn't bring a smile to my face. Wii U stands out so much more with its unique features and new ways to play. It's different, and that's wha makes it so fantastic. And I know different doesn't sell, "more of the same" is what sells. But it's a hell of a lot better than doing the exact same thing as the competition! Because with multiple consoles all with identical specs and features is pointless! At that point its just about brand rather than features. Wii U is different, and that's why I love it. I don't care that it doesn't sell, and I dont care what others say. So long as it can continue to bring a smile to my face with its many ways to play, that's all that matters.
"Dark & Edgy" and "Sonic the Hedgehog" are 2 things that should never mix.
I still blame the Sonic Adventure games, more specifically, Shadow for driving the series down the gutter. Because now so many people seem to want to get rid of the colorful happy world of Sonic that it usually is and instead want something lame like:
I'm happy with where the series is now. Sonic Unleashed, Colors, Generations, and Lost World all didn't take themselves too seriously, and that's what makes them so great.
This game clearly goes beyond most download only titles with seriously nice graphics and textures. So the higher price tag makes sense and is ok with me.
Basically, the game plays like Titanfall, but you're a baby (soldier) and you have to climb up onto a Yoshi (titan) if you wanna become even more powerful.

@UnseatingKDawg Seriously? Did you even watch the trailer? Spider-Man was clearly in the ending.
Re: Cosmochoria Confirmed for Wii U Release
Incredibly happy to hear this! When can we expect the game again?

Re: Skylanders Trap Team Is Coming To Wii, Wii U And 3DS This Year
The only disappointing thing is that you can only capture the villains. It would be cool if they were figures too, their designs are sick!
Re: Skylanders Trap Team Is Coming To Wii, Wii U And 3DS This Year
AWESOME!!!!
Re: Nintendo Shows Off Its Mario Golf: World Tour DLC Courses and Characters

Re: Review: Bit Boy!! ARCADE (3DS eShop)
yeah, I bought on impulse. It just seemed so charming. But it's a bit bland. I can only play it in small bits here and there to avoid getting bored.

Lot's of interesting stuff this week!
Re: Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure Could Have Been a Nintendo Exclusive
Well, I'm just happy that I can get my Skylanders on a Nintendo console. But now I can't help but think of what could've been...
But let's not forget, Nintendo DOES have plans on revealing new, Wii U exclusive, NFC games at this E3!

Re: Nintendo of America is Cutting the Price of Five Top 3DS Games
That's cool. But wasn't DK 3D already $30 when it released?

Re: Feature: Time For a Super Smash Bros. New Challenger Screenshot Blowout
@Baum897 Precisely why the Wii U version needs more time. The models look a lot more smooth and finished on 3DS than Wii U.

Re: Yo-kai Watch 2 Coming to 3DS in Japan with Two Different Versions
2 versions of the same game? Is Yo-Kai Watch trying to become a competitor with Pokemon?

Re: Review: Rusty's Real Deal Baseball (3DS eShop)
Yeah, 7 or 8 is what I would give it. It's a really fun and unique twist on the F2P concept. Great job, Nintendo!
Re: Nintendo Download: 3rd April (North America)
Rusty and Superstar Saga! And maybe even Advance Wars!
Re: Rusty's Real Deal Baseball Has Some Interesting Localization Changes
I noticed this from the very beginning. Interesting design choices. I like it! Can't wait to get this game!
Re: Review: Yumi's Odd Odyssey (3DS eShop)
Ok, I'm pickin this up! When I get enough cash that is... Well, I do have enough cash, but I'm saving it for Wii U indie games.
Re: Nintendo Download: 27th March (North America)
Oh, also I might go for Skater Cat!

Re: Feature: Bandai Namco Characters We'd Love to See in Super Smash Bros. on Wii U and 3DS
Pac-Man makes the most sense. Even then I don't think he has that good of a chance. It'd still be cool though!
