Now I have to get this game. Getting Sonic of course, but damn do the others look tempting... I was originally interested by the inclusion of The Simpsons, Back to the Future, and (original) Ghostbusters, but I had no idea the game would grow like this.
This goes hand-in-hand with the recent "Sonic in Lego Dimensions" rumor, and the suspiciously specific survey Sega had just a few days ago asking things like "how open would you be about Sonic being in a game with Adventure Time characters?"
Mega Man Boom. Can't wait to see what the other characters look like. I'll of course give it a shot, because I'd have no right to complain if I didn't. I might wind up even liking the show, for all I know.
Damn, I just got my own smartphone and was excited that I'd be able to play this along with the Kingdom Hearts F2P game and Miitomo.
I mean yeah, there's the "Dash" games, but I've played both Dash and Runners on other's phones, and I found Runners to be a lot more fun, with (IMO) a great soundtrack to boot. It was also the first game to prove that Boom Sonic wasn't completely replacing Modern Sonic, and that Boom was a spinoff (that should have just stayed as a cartoon, honestly).
Not only that, but there's only 17 events. The console versions of these games I actually still got excited for (unlikely most people), but this seriously looks like a downgrade.
Thinking about picking up Sochi 2014 instead later on since I missed it when it came out (didn't have a Wii U at the time). This one just doesn't seem worth the asking price right now.
The Wii U version will be the one to get. My main gripe with the 3DS versions nowadays is the character limitations, which is honestly absolutely ridiculous.
Got him to autograph my copies of Sonic Generations and Sonic Lost World and took a picture with him at the SXSW Gaming Expo. He's a pretty cool guy. Yuji Naka, Roger Craig Smith, Mike Pollock, and Aaron Webber were there too. It was quite an experience.
Already have Fire Emblem Fates: Revelation (Special Edition, baby!), so I won't be getting that. I've been waiting for that 3DS HOME Menu theme though. I assumed it'd launch alongside Revelations since it wasn't available on February 19th. Japan has had it for a long time...
And yo, I might just pick up Shattered Crystal if it is on sale for less than retail (currently $20). I actually liked the demo for that. Won't touch Rise of Lyric even if it was given to me for free though, lol. That one's demo had glitches and problems just in its demo... It was soooooo bad...
They probably couldn't get it to go into the HOME menu without problems. The GBA games run similarly to DS and DSiWare games in that they can't suspend the game to go to the HOME menu, though I'm not sure what the technical details of that are. The SNES games likely had that same issue, and Nintendo probably didn't want their publicly available Virtual Console 3DS games to have that issue, so they made them New3DS only, which makes little sense IMO. I totally would have picked up EarthBound and/or Super Mario World on 3DS regardless of if you could go to the HOME menu or not...
Or they just wanted people to have more incentive to buy a New3DS, I don't know, there's little reason to upgrade now to begin with IMO.
I've been listening to this game's soundtrack, and it's absolutely fantastic. I can't get enough of it. It makes me more excited for the North American release. I hope you guys in Europe get a release too, as well as one for the 3D Classics Collection!
I played Fire Emblem Awakening and the original Project X Zone at around the same time (PXZ's NA launch week), so it's still a bit bizarre to see Chrom and Lucina in the sequel... I even thought that if there was a sequel that I'd like to see either Nintendo or Square Enix get in on the action, so it's awesome that Nintendo actually joined in, even if it's just with two of their games. I'll be busy with Fire Emblem Fates for a while, but I'll definitely pick up PXZ2 later down the line.
Same here. I really wanted to get the pre-order bonuses for this game, too. The HOME menu theme looks really cool. But alas, I can only buy so much... But hey, at least we're getting what's basically three new Fire Emblem games, and a cool carying pouch!
I still can't believe there was "uproar" over this... I mean, I'm excited about the gameplay and story. Shipping was fun in Awakening, but it isn't supposed to be the main draw of the series...

Re: Super Mario Movie Director Talks Hopper Headaches And Wanting DeVito But Getting Hoskins
My friend had never seen this, the first Pokemon movie, or the Scott Pilgrim movie before, so we had a big movie night a few weeks ago.
I have to say, it sure was something. I found it to be entertaining mainly because of how bad it was.
The "Super Koopa Cousins" bit at the end was pretty funny, too. Now I know where that's from...
In any case, this was an interesting read. DeVito as Mario would have been hilarious.
Re: Video: SEGA Heats Up the 3DS With Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice E3 Trailer
Looks alright, but I'd still prefer to see the next main series game. I wonder when they will announce that, if not at this year's e3.
Re: Rumour: Gremlins Are Eating After Midnight, Invading Lego Dimensions
If that really is an Adventure Time world as some people have been saying, then I'd say the previous rumor is as good as confirmed.
Can't wait for tomorrow.

I'm 50% sure this is real.
Re: ​Rumour: Nintendo UK Hints at More Mario Kart 8 DLC
I would love more DLC. But I'm not sure if this is hinting at that or not...
I guess we'll find out soon.
Re: Poll: Are You Excited About Nintendo's Expanded E3 Plans?
It's more of a personal thing for me. I don't actually like Zelda that much, and while I do like Pokemon, I'm not a die-hard fan of it.
So, for me at least, it looks like it's going to be a bad e3.

Re: Sonic Runners, SEGA's Mobile Release by the Sonic Team, is Getting Shut Down

I guess I can still play it while it's up.

Mega Man Boom.
Re: Poll: Are You Still a Miitomo Regular, or Has The Great Mii Q & A Lost Its Charm?
I recently got a smartphone, so I've been using Miitomo daily... So far.
Re: 7th Dragon III Code: VFD Won't Be Coming to Europe for Now
Why is this article making it sound like 7th Dragon is an Atlus series? 7th Dragon has always been a Sega franchise since the first entry on the DS.
Am I reading this wrong?
Re: Citizens Of Earth Pulled From 3DS eShop Following Exploit Discovery
So, I can still redeem the code and download the game if I haven't already.
Re: The Legend of Zelda and Sonic the Hedgehog Are Inducted Into the World Video Game Hall of Fame
As much as I like Sonic, I actually don't like the original too much.
But still, it's iconic, so I'm glad it made it in.
Hopefully Pokemon makes it in next time, as it deserves it too.

Re: Nintendo Download: 21st April (North America)
Might as well give Pocket Card Jockey a try.
Re: Fire Emblem Fates' Witches' Trial DLC is Now Live
Just beat Revelation today. After playing all three paths, it was quite an experience. I really liked the game.
Plan on buying the DLC later on down the line. I still have plenty of paralogues to do for now.

Re: Rumour: Nintendo Is Planning A Series Of Wii U Remasters For NX
Well if there's no backwards compatibility, at least I'll feel personally happy to have a Wii U for it's exclusives.
Though I do hope they incorporate VC in a big way on NX. Could we finally get cross buy?
Re: Review: Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games (3DS)
Knew it.
The Wii U version will be the one to get. My main gripe with the 3DS versions nowadays is the character limitations, which is honestly absolutely ridiculous.
Re: Random: Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games Shows That Mii Characters Aren't to be Trusted
The Miis seem to have less emotion in this game than in other recent 3DS games.
Ahh well. Waiting for the Wii U version.

Re: 'Special Reveal' Teased for Sonic the Hedgehog Anniversary Panel at SXSW
It's at the Gaming Expo, so of course I'm going to be there. I'm pretty hyped for it, too.
Hope to see some of you guys there! I'll be wearing a Classic Sonic t-shirt that says "old school" on it.
Re: Poll: Did the Wii U and 3DS Nintendo Direct Kickstart 2016?
It was a good Direct. Very happy about the Rhythm Heaven Megamix and Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE updates.
Re: Video: New Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 Trailer Showcases Summer Release
Absolutely loved the first game, and can't wait for this one. Glad to see it get some screentime in this Direct.
@CrazedCavalier
Now that's a really cool picture.
Re: Genei Ibun Roku #FE Is Now Called Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE In The West, Arrives In June
Interesting that it is sub-only. If I'm not mistaken, I don't think Nintendo of America has released a game like that over here before.
Excited. Seems like it'll be an enjoyable RPG, though I have practically zero experience with SMT and Persona.

Also, free DLC for Fates?! WOO-HOO! The hype is real!! I can't wait to pick up my Special Edition at GameStop tomorrow... Err, later today.
