Yesss! Load out change in the lobby was my biggest want. Also glad to see new hairstyles, switching to the mohawk asap. I've been dodge ranked since I hit S rank in everything, so a new mode is very welcome. And my favorite stage Arowana Mall is coming back!
Arms and Splatoon 2 have been so good on the updates, been playing both consistently since they launched.
Soooooo excited for this. Did not expect a sequel. The hair, the weapons, everything looks so good lol. Local multiplayer is also a huge win, I really have missed that.
I'm happy, I've wanted Nintendo to go for home console quality on a portable for a while now. Not gonna get it day one unless there are at least 3 or so titles I really want (Splatoon & 2 others). Otherwise I'll be waiting to hear how it runs when its detached from the dock, and then decided.
Graphically if its close to Wii U quality when moblie that be amazing.
It being a powerful handheld would be great. I've wanted Nintendo to try this for a while now. If they get at minimum Wii U quality graphics on the go I'm sold.
Already ordered my Special Edition. All 3 on one cartridge is worth $87 (what it came up to with tax) for me. From all the content we have seen so far its worth the price for me at least. FE is by far my favorite series so I doubt I'll be dissatisfied.
I'll probably get Yoshi's Wolly World, Xenoblade Chronicles X, and Yokai Watch. Devil Third was a must before, but with all the drama I'm waiting for gameplay and full reviews. edit: didn't realize Fatal Frame was eshop only, now I can't get it...
I want the Zero Suit Samus and Blue Yarn Yoshi amiibos, so hopefully amazon does the purchase window they did for the last wave.
Devil's Third and Fatal Frame being eshop only would make it so I can't buy either. No space on my Wii-U, and unless the games are going to be cheaper I want physical copies.
@jjmesa16 That's what I'm doing this week. I've already played through the game twice on my brother's 3DS. But I'm a FE fanboy so I feel bad about not owning it myself.
I don't know if I'm interested in Blast Ball, but Federation Force looks pretty good. Online/Co-op looks good, can't wait to see all the customization options. Otherwise I'm just wondering if there are any single player modes.
2015 is only Yoshi Woolly World and Xenoblade X. Devil's Third should be out in the US fall 2015 since everywhere else will have it. Fatal Frame would be nice but I'd bet on 2016 (Edit: Just saw the trailer saying its Fall 2015!). 3 Wii U games and anything 3DS would have to be from Atlus.
2016 I have SMTxFE, FE Fates, Metroid Federation Force, and Mario & Luigi Paper Jam.
Looks better than the E3 trailer. Treehouse gameplay sold me on this last year (with the devs explaining the meaning of the characters look and tattoos), E3 looks like its gonna have plenty to announce.
The issue didn't change my mind or worry me, the free demo was always going to have way more traffic then the launch on Friday (especially after all the positive press the first test fires had, way more people were going to try and play).
I've been sold on Splatoon since last year's E3 and that extra hour of play only increased my excitement.
Finally got kicked off, got in a bunch of great matches though. I really can't wait to play this next weekend! Splat Charger is my favorite weapon type currently.
Can't wait to get into this game, hopefully be able to play a couple hours tonight. Sounds much more difficult than the pokemon version's I played as a kid.
If I don't cave and buy whatever day one edition Atlus gives this, I'll definitely download it on sale. I still need to finish The Millenium Girl and EO: 4 though.
If I wasn't going to get a game (regardless of score) I just go see the rating. If it is a game I'm on the fence about I check the rating (to see if learning more about the game is worth the time) and if it's positive I'll read the whole review and make a decision. Though sometimes I ignore reviews altogether since some games I enjoy won't get positive scores anyway ie. most Warriors games.
Very rarely do I buy games that I dislike because I usually follow coverage of the game from announcement until launch. So i generally know if I'm going to like the game or not. I've only bought maybe 4 games in the last 5+ years that I wasn't sure I'd enjoy. Dillon's rolling western which despite positive scores I didn't like at all, Izuma Eleven which dissapointed, Pokemon Battle Trozei was ok, and Conception II which I loved.
@brandonbwii I think the weakspots had a lot of angle limits and some of the guns had lower accuracy, with the Crossbow Lion uses I hit weakpoints every time I aimed for one.
@steamtrain I agree, enemies also had the same weapon weakness as your characters (grenade users have no overwatch, Hounds with machine gun like fire have low accuracy with angled terrain and larger distances).
Enemy turn speed definitely could be better but it didn't bother me as much since the pacing is slow anyway.
I'm a huge strategy game fan (and FE fan) and I thought it was great. I loved how Line of sight is used. Learning how to position yourself before you end your turn so you can cover blind spots with overwatch attacks, using more mobile characters (Lion) to gain a bird's eye view of the map and see where enemies are moving etc. With perma-death not being a factor knowing your enemies movement range really isn't as important, knowing where they are is. Ambushes and spawn points are the main things that will kill you.
I was mostly worried about the gun camera controls but my worries were put to rest. The ABXY controls worked great for me and never really had a problem with accuracy (other than learning how each gun fires). I was definitely tempering my expectations with this until I could play it, and It was much much better than I expected. I definitely think this has a shot to be just as good if not better than FE: Awakening.
Splatoon is my most hyped, but with Monster Hunter 4U I can finally hunt with my friends that live in Canada and Europe and it have been so much fun just with the demo.
Monster Hunter 4U is already pre-ordered. Code Name: STEAM and Etrian Mystery Dungeon in March are the others I'm looking forward too. Sucks they come out within 3 days of each other, and I know I won't have time to play both (especially since Monster Hunter is either the same month or a month before).
Can't wait! I missed the announcement so I still need to see what the multiplayer mode is like, hope it's something I can convince my friends to try out.
I can't say i'll be sad or disappointed if this is true, since we still haven't seen anything gameplay wise about this game. I love Atlus, but i've never played a SMT game, so I don't really know how that would go with Fire Emblem.
Would we just get FE characters in a SMT style game?
With this, Monster Hunter 4U, Majora's Mask, and Code name S.t.e.a.m, 2015 is gonna be packed for me. These games plus Splatoon are the only things that are must buys for me next year.
With this, Code Name: S.T.E.A.M, and MH4U I have so much to look forward to next year on my 3DS. I've wanted to play Majora's Mask since I was a kid but I never got it for my N64.
YES! I really wanted to see more about Splatoon's single player campaign since it was announced. I really wanted a full single player mode for this, I hate shoot's without solo modes.
It looks even better than at E3 and I can't wait to see more of the customization options for characters. Splatoon is my top WiiU game for next year now (at least until SMT X Fire Emblem gets a release date).

Glad FE Warriors looks good, might have to change my mind about picking it up.

Never thought Bayonetta would get in. I have the 3ds version but I might pick up the Wii U version just for her.
Re: Fire Emblem Fates Releases In North America On 19th February, Special Triple Edition Also Confirmed
@MuchoMochi US Amazon. Not sure if other Amazon's have it up.
Edit: I was going to add the link, but I just saw Amazon is already stopped taking pre-orders. Didn't think they'd go that fast.

Re: Poll: How Excited Are You About Nintendo's E3 Games?
@jjmesa16 Almost all FE games are separate from each other. Unless you really want to try out the gameplay you don't really need to get it.
Re: First Impressions: Kicking Off With Metroid Prime: Blast Ball
I don't know if I'm interested in Blast Ball, but Federation Force looks pretty good. Online/Co-op looks good, can't wait to see all the customization options. Otherwise I'm just wondering if there are any single player modes.

Animal Crossing or Ultimate NES Remix, maybe Tropical Freeze if I have the space on my Wii U.

Re: Etrian Mystery Dungeon Finds Its Way to North American Stores on April 7th
Way better, Amazon had it as March 10th and I doubt I would have been able to get it and Code Name STEAM 3 days apart.

Re: Discontinued amiibo Figures Could Be Released In Card Form, Says Miyamoto
Good to hear, as long as the cards are always available I can live with the limited releases for the figures. More for less is cool with me.
Only ones I wanted are Ike (probably never gonna happen since I can't pre-order it on amazon) and Zero Suit Samus.

I can't say i'll be sad or disappointed if this is true, since we still haven't seen anything gameplay wise about this game. I love Atlus, but i've never played a SMT game, so I don't really know how that would go with Fire Emblem.
