It could also be something like A Link Between Worlds where you could fight other people's version of Link.

Just give me another Picto Box and the ability to share photos on Miiverse and I'll be happy.

Two no-brainers:
Unified accounts
Cross-buy

Make it so.

@nilcam I had the same thought. My wife loved manning the weapons in Double Dash. I thought it was a great way to play. This sounds like it'll be a hit for us for the same reason.

That's a shame. I probably would have bought this at a 7 after a price discount, but 4 is just too low. My gaming time is limited enough that I generally disregard anything rated 6 or below. There are exceptions, but they are few.

Looks like I'll be getting this after all.

Sweet. I have none of them. Late adopter FTW!

Other than Xenoblade, which I haven't played, I would much rather Nintendo worked on new games. If they do more HD ports it should be of older games. SMG is great, but way too recent. Maybe more GC games like Wind Waker, which was excellent.

I really don't care either way if people want to play these kinds of hyper-sexualized games, but I find it somewhat ironic that Nintendo Life is so vigilant about protecting its readership from the corrupting power of "coarse" language in comments, but is completely fine with this kind of sexual content, once even chiming in with a breast referencing pun for an article on this game. For my part, I'm much more tolerant of "bad" language than I am of sexual language among my friends and in my home. I'm just curious why Nintendo Life is okay with one type of "adult content" and not the other.

Nice. I bought 2 $50 cards last time. Maybe I'll get three this time. It's a great deal, especially with the deluxe digital discount on top if it.

I'm about 25 hours and loving it. The last half dozen RPGs I've played didn't hold my attention, so this is great. And I really love the ability to turn off encounters entirely. I rarely do it, but it's a great feature, especially when going through an area with weak enemies where battles are of no benefit. Looking forward to the sequel.

@the_truth You do realize this is a very short interview about a 600+ page book? I imagine he elaborates at some length there.

Teslagrad looks the most interesting to me. I'll definitely pick that up.

I'll probably buy this. I've wNted to check it out for a while.

The Starship Damrey. Really enjoying it.

I think the art style looks terrible. I really don't like it. I'll stick with the original, thanks.

Nice trailer. The demo was great, if a bit basic. Looks like there's lots to love about the full game.

Remember the cautionary tale taught us by George Lucas. If at first you succeed, stop changing things because you'll only make it worse.

This made me laugh. I could imagine doing this with my brothers when I was a kid. It would be funny at first, then the humor would wear off, but stick with it and it becomes even more hilarious. It's certainly an achievement.

I think it looks pretty fun, not sure why everyone's so down on it.

When I was a kid, I wanted Little Nemo The Dream Master almost solely because of that cover art. Sadly, I don't think I ever actually played it.

I had a lot of fun eating up time with Angry Birds in waiting rooms and between classes in my grad student years, but haven't played it for quite some time. And this is definitely overpriced.

Well done folks. You run a quality establishment.

@Noonch Wow, that's 50 days! You certainly got your money's worth. I've been considering it for a while now. I might pick it up in the next few months.

@Noonch I've never played an Animal Crossing game. What's the deal, why would you want more than one 3DS?

Strange that the best first party Wii U games and the best overall Wii U games were the same games, but in a different order. How can I go about my day not knowing definitively whether people like Pikmin 3 or Windwaker HD more? It's a nightmare!

Good list though.

Nice list. I bought myself a 3DS for Christmas and just picked up Steamworld Dig and Attack of the Friday Monsters (both on sale). I guess I'll have to check out HarmoKnight as well.

@Beau_Skunk If you own a game on Wii VC and transfer it over to the Wii U, you will get a discount if you buy it on Wii U VC. NES games cost $1. SNES, $1.50. I've already done it with the two NES Zelda games and Super Mario World on the SNES. Unfortunately there's no similar deal for the 3DS.

It looks great and I love a good puzzle game, but whether I buy will depend on the gameplay.

Picked up Mutant Mudds and NightSky, considering Cave Story, though I've played it on Mac, possibly VVVVVV.

@jayclayx Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't online play cost something on PS3 and PS4? So not exactly free services then.

Edit: Upon further inspection, I see Home is free. If the price makes you unhappy, I suggest you skip it.

I'm really enjoying this so far. The stamps, like in SM3DW, are actually a really fun collectible. Making ridiculous Miiverse posts with them is pretty entertaining.

@WYLD-WOO Duly noted.

@JaxonH You talk a big game, a somewhat convincing one. I've been wondering if that would be to my liking. I've never been hugely into strategy games, but it's another genre I've wanted to try. If I do, I'll definitely start with that game. Thanks for the recommendation.

@element187 @Falchion I'm definitely leaning towards SMT IV. It does get rave reviews after all.

@Spoony_Tech Cool. Sounds like I have plenty of good options, which is what I was hoping for.

@imgrowinglegs No, I've never tried one. I was considering IV, since people seem to like it a lot. Thanks for the recommendations!

@Spoony_Tech Cool, I'll check out the demo. Thanks!

I just bought a 3DS XL, partly hoping to find the game that scratches that RPG itch without boring me to tears. I haven't finished a "traditional" RPG, by that I mean the old-style Dragon Warrior and NES/SNES FF, for over ten years. The grinding grinds me down until I just become apathetic and stop playing. I tried with Etrian Odyssey II and Shiren the Wanderer and, later, one of the revamped early FFs on iOS. I still like the idea of RPGs, I just haven't found one that keeps me interested. This meaty demo should give me a good idea if this game will do it.

Definitely buying this today. Looks like a solid dose of retro fun.

@Arcamenel The book really is excellent. I read it about 15 years ago before I knew anything about Card. Buy it used somewhere if it really bothers you. The movie, sadly, is completely missable.

I bought the Zelda bundle a week or two ago. Fortunately retailers in the states will always do a price adjustment if the product is within the return period. I have $70 coming my way.

@HugoSmits Dude, you did not just equate a female gendered character to a character with a handicap! You did not!

But you're right, it is Inafune's creative work and he's not going to let some low-level employee dictate how the game will progress. This whole thing is totally blown out of proportion.

@Yorumi I would agree that deleting her tweets was a poor decision. I also think if it's true that she doesn't know much about the series, people might have a legitimate gripe. That said, if it were a man, no one would be screaming 'bloody feminism' because of a female robot sketch and this whole thing would not be happening. If it were a guy, we would probably never hear about it because no one would care.

@edhe God, I hope so.

@Yorumi I'm skeptical about the dishonesty and nepotism and I think they've both been blown out of proportion, and yes, done so because she is a woman or at least because she is not a man.

The claim of dishonesty is based on two tweets. One said she was "never an MM player" and another said something about MegaMan X being her favorite. That's it! Two tweets that seem confusing, but that could be easily clarified. Maybe she played X, but never played the originals? I don't know. I don't care. Calling someone a liar based on those two tweets is absurd and petty. How about, you know, asking her about it?!

And the nepotism, also ridiculous. She possibly got a job there because she has friends who also work there. How many people do you think got a job there because they knew Inafune? Is that also nepotism/favoritism? No, it's called networking, and that's how millions of people get introduced to people who are looking to hire.

And no, I would not defend some guy with sexist views.

@HugoSmits Haha! A Christian robot. That would be something to see.

But you're mis-paraphrasing me. I didn't say using 'feminazi' hints to underlying ignorance, though that may be true, but to an underlying belief that women should not be making particular decisions.

But the Christian robot question is another false equivalence. Religion and gender are not comparable characteristics in this argument. Religion is a personal choice, rooted in society, culture and, often, nationality. Gender is a state of birth. We can choose our religion. We can't choose to be born male or female.

@Yorumi I'll see your 'false bifurcation' and raise you a 'false equivalence'. Suggesting that by taking the stance I have, I am doing the same thing as those who are attacking this woman is ridiculous. The reason I believe the attacks are unwarranted is because I have actually paid attention to the 'controversy'. I commented here after seeing that many people on this thread were derogatorily calling her a feminist and/or feminazi while also admitting they had no clue as to what the facts were. They were buying into the hype of the story, that a woman was ruining something they love because of her political leanings, when in reality there is absolutely no evidence that she has brought any inappropriate opinions into the game development process.

But seriously, how can you equate my defense of her to others attacking her? Talk about a false equivalence. How else can I defend her for being unfairly attacked simply for being a woman without bringing gender into it? Do you also want me to end world hunger without talking about food?

@Yorumi There's a way to tell whether I'm being presumptive. Just go through this thread and make a tally of all the derogatory uses of 'feminist' and 'feminazi'. When people use those words, it's a hint that underlying their ignorant, bile-ridden comments is a belief that women should not be making these particular decisions.

And your suggestion that people like me are defending her just because she's a woman is ABSOLUTELY TRUE! The only reason I'm commenting on this thread is because I believe this woman is being treated poorly just because of her gender. That's the entire point. If Inafune wanted a female character, no one would care, but when a woman suggests it, it's suddenly 'reverse sexism'.

Edit: added 'derogatory'

@HugoSmits We're getting into the weeds here. I don't give a flying fart what gender a robot in a video game is. It just seems fairly obvious that this woman is being more highly scrutinized than any other employee at that developer largely because she has opinions and men don't like women who have opinions.
