It's a stop-gap if there ever was one. Very few games make use of it's features, and there's only two games that you need it to play. Overall, it looks like Nintendo is just about done with the 3ds, and it wouldn't surprise me if it gets replaced in the near future.
...I think it was expected that Zelda would be released this year, but hey, at least we got confirmation. Also, been a while since we heard anything about those Project games...would be nice if we got some more footage, Nintendo!
@Giygas_95 Right. I should still be thankful for what I got. Besides, they didn't even have to do dlc anyways, and we still got more N64 stages, so...good.
@DESS-M-8 Sigh...alright...I'm just going to get this outta the way: I was never denying that a Zelda launch title would be Zelda U. However, we still don't know if this year will be the end of the Wii U's lifespan, so that throws a bit of a wrench into the idea. Also, we don't know if the NX is a handheld or home console, so we don't know whether the Wii U or 3DS will get phased out first. More importantly, the NX isn't pretty much confirmed to be a hybrid system. There is no real evidence. And before you bring up stuff like rumors or patents, those don't work. Rumors are rumors, and Nintendo patents a LOT of stuff that they never use. And I believe that you earlier brought up pre-orders for the system and Zelda on said system, and to that I say this: Yes, because retailers NEVER get something wrong. Finally, since you seem as if you we know everything about the NX, I'm juust going to link you to this: http://www.consolefood.co.uk/article/nintendo-nx-facts-separating-fact-from-fiction Also, I don't know where you're getting the idea that the Macronix chips will be used for the controller part. They'd probably be used for game carts, more likely.
I would get these, but...I don't have any money on the Eshop...damn. Also, you better start prayin' for a direct, Etika! @superKsonic48 It sure does suck that we didn't get any Melee stages out of this.
@DESS-M-8 I assume you're referring to this? https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2016/01/macronix_will_be_providing_memory_products_for_the_nx
Also, at the risk of sounding incredibly stupid, I would like to point out something: In that article, the NX coming out this year was never specifically stated by CY Lu. He just said that Macronix would be making memory slots for it. This technically doesn't really confirm anything. Also, this wouldn't be more evidence that you're right, but the FIRST actual evidence that you're right, though even then it's not necessarily real evidence. However, I will admit that I have warmed up to the idea, and believe that the NX can release this year... as a handheld. If Macronix is providing memory carts for it, it's probably a handheld. Also, since there is no evidence supporting it, I still don't believe that Zelda U will be ported to it. I know that this is probably going to lead to some more arguing, so can we just drop this?
At the risk of sounding like an idiot, you do realize that the NX coming out this year wasn't specifically stated by CY Lu, right? I mean, I'm not saying it's impossible for the system to come out this year, but...still, I can't be the only one that noticed this, RIGHT?
If anything, it would be a port of the Wii U/3DS games with the dlc. However, I'm not falling for this rumor just yet. Yeah, I know it's supposed to be from a reliable source, but remember last year when reliable sources said that Shovel Knight and Inklings would be in Smash? Yeah...
@Parkour_LMan Didnt ya hear? There's no point in releasing anything on the Wii U, because the NX is being released this year, and that's an absolute fact, despite there being absolutely nothing pointing towards that (I'm getting really pi$$ed off at these types of comments).
Alright, I just looked at the official text, and...on one hand, the only intent was to help her get over herfainting problem, but on the other hand, youve still got the fact that the main character drugged Soleil unwillingly (and the fact that he told her as soon as she noticed doesn't change the fact that the main character, AKA YOU, drugged her without her knowing it), and then you've got the part with the proposal which can be misinterpreted, and the whole thing is just awkward and uncomfortable. So...yeah.
@ElkinFencer10 If you think he's bad, you should've seen what it was like when Nintendo announced that this game would allow homosexual relationships, or that article about the whole Gunman Clive thing a while back. But I guess it's not that bad...now I know which users I want to avoid.
ALright, let's just see what this scene is-oh. Yeah, that, uh...that's pretty bad. Oh, and to everyone that things that Nintendo shouldn't have censored this or that they're treating you like children, in the words of another user on this site whose name I can't remember, you do realize that the media could crucify Nintendo with stuff like this, right? They're not trying to treat you like children, they're trying to release something with as little media backlash as possible!
Not really surprising, because of the following: 1. Western dev support was never that great to begin with. 2. Some of them are probably waiting to see what the NX is.
Wait, scratch my previous comment. After doing some research, it turns out that Hero mode was also apparently leaked, and will be unlocked from the start, so it doesn't look like Ganondorf wil be necessary to play it. He just has the ability to make Hero Mode even harder...assuming all these leaks are true, that is.
Well, at least Ninja Pigs doesn't go on this site anymore, otherwise the comment section would probably filled with him bashing this review and having a temper tantrum.
Well that sucks. They're pretty good games that are very cheap, so...yeah. That's a real shame. And yes, I double-dipped...at least with the first one. I didn't have the second one, but I had the first one.
Not gonna lie: I couldn't help but chuckle when reading that headline. GOOD JOB, NINJA PIG! This is, what, the THIRD game you had to get rid of, counting that Jumpy Cat game that was never released?
Pikmin 4 I am looking forward to (loved 3), and since it’s close to completion, I’m guessing it’ll be a Wii U game that reuses assets from 3. A Pokemon line of amiibo I think is a given at some point down the line, and I am just itching to see what Retro’s new game is (whether it’s a new DK, Prime 4, or something entirely different). Federation Force I think can be good (this is Next Level Games. They know what they’re doing. That doesn’t mean it can’t suck, but it does increase the chances of it being good.). As for QoL…I don’t really care about it, that much. @SakuraHaruka The movies I thought were a given since My Nintendo can be used in theatres, but anime? That is new to me. I wonder which ones they go with. @Minotaurgamer Well, aren't you just a rain of sunshine?
Zelda: Already knew that one Sonic: Already knew that one DK: Already knew that one TMNT: I wasn't entirely sure which one that was, but TMNT was one of the thoughts I had MK: Didn't know NBA Jam: Didn't know Mario: This is a joke, right?
