@Pichuka97 I mean, I'd rather spend coins (that will expire) on these shorts as opposed to $4.99.
Sure, there should be much better rewards for a program like this in general, but given its current track record right now, I'd say that for this at least...
I liked the demo, but I still need to beat 7th Dragon, go back and beat Stella Glow, and eventually start Bravely Default, so I have enough 3DS RPGs on my plate before I can grab this one.
"Where the original supported up to nine players simultaneously across four modes, this version only supports a maximum of four players in three modes."
So I'm guessing this means no crossplay between new3DS and Wii U versions.
Sucks, since Runbow's online community is freakin' DEAD on Wii U...
I hope they put it on Switch. I tried to get Phantasy Star II, but it said my device wasn't compatible.
"After a flood of classic Master System and Mega Drive games on the Wii Virtual Console Sega took a step back during the Wii U era, choosing to put selected Game Gear, arcade and Mega Drive games on the 3DS only."
Actually, Sega did put some of (if not all of) the Sonic Advance games on the Wii U Virtual Console in Japan. Granted, those are GBA games, but still.
I guess I'll have to get my Mega Man style fix on Switch via Mighty Gunvolt Burst. I'll pick up this collection on Steam, though a physical Nintendo version would have been great.
Yeah, Sacred Stones was my first, but I still enjoyed the characters of Awakening and Fates. It also helped that support conversations were easier to do (and not limited) in those games, so you could see the characters interacting more.
I'm just hoping it'll get localized. Sega has been pretty cool with localizations recently (who saw 7th Dragon III and Puyo Puyo Tetris coming?), so I feel there's at least a chance for this one.
A Switch version would be nice too, but that's probably stretching it.
During races, they kept the exact same expression on their face even when hit by an item or when winning or loosing. This was creepy, and didn't make sense, as a Mii could be doing the loosing animation, but still look happy or indifferent depending on what you set your Mii's facial features to.
Now it works like in the Wii U version, where the Mii's expression will change depending on the situation.
Guess I'm buying the Striker Pack again. The bump to 60FPS, inclusion of DLC, kudos system working in Gunvolt 1 like it does in Gunvolt 2, and ability to play on the TV are too good to pass up.
Nice! I have a friend who's really into Touhou. I'm not as into the series as he is, but I'll definitely check this out. The Switch's easy multi-player makes it appealing too.
@burninmylight But there's a new Virtual On coming next year too.
I've been meaning to pick up Shadow Dragon on the Wii U, so I'll just take advantage of that discount this time.
This service would be a LOT better if they just brought back full game rewards (not just discounts) in exchange for gold coins. There are some cool bonuses every once in a while (like the Kid Icarus shorts), but pretty much everything is discounts, and that is very disappointing in my opinion.
In the end, I chose Fire Emblem Warriors, Sonic Forces, and Xenoblade Chronicles 2, but I'm also really really looking forward to Super Mario Odyssey.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, ARMS, Splatoon 2, and Puyo Puyo Tetris are also on my list. I gave the demo for Disgaea 2 a try and I quite liked it, so I'll probably pick up Disgaea 5 on Switch. I'll also most certainly get Rayman Legends: Definitive Edition at some point, as I never got around to getting the game on Wii U. (Still need to beat my 3DS copy of Rayman Origins, though.)
This is going to be an awesome (and expensive) year!
I'm still surprised I was able to get one at a midnight launch. I'm very glad I did, because the Switch certainly isn't easy to get right now...
My first month with the system has been pretty good! I'm still playing Breath of the Wild, and it is a highly addictive game. I was able to pull myself away from it for a bit to play through Blaster Master Zero, and that game was a lot of fun as well. And of course, the Splatoon 2 testfire was awesome.
I can't wait for more games to roll out for the console.
Blaster Master Zero was an awesome little game. I quite enjoyed it. Didn't know the 3DS version only ran at 30 FPS. It makes me more happy that I picked up the Switch version.
I actually didn't know about most of the games in this video. Thanks for sharing it!
I was at the SXSW panel itself, and it was an absolute blast! I met everyone (plus Yuji Naka) last year, but it was great to see and talk to them again regardless. I also got to meet Tails' Channel IRL for the first time, which was awesome!
The Mania poster and Forces mini-poster were also really cool, and I was able to get them autographed by everyone along with different games from last year. I even got Iizuka-san to autograph my copy of NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams too, so it was nice seeing his reaction to that.
My friend had everyone sign his Mario hat, which led to some funny reactions, particularly from Iizuka-san. Another friend got Mr. Smith to say "You're too slow" in Sonic's voice, which was another cool moment.
I really hope they come back next year! It's always great having them here.

Re: Nintendo Download: 29th June (North America)
Mighty Gunvolt Burst is an excellent platformer. I definitely recommend getting it on 3DS if you don't have a Switch.

Looks like the SNES Mini controllers will plug into Wii Remotes as well.
Sweet!

Re: Ubisoft España Tweet States Beyond Good & Evil is Coming to Nintendo Switch
The original was on PS2, Xbox, GameCube, and PC, so having this one be on PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC would be kind of poetic in a way.
I hope this is true.
Re: Mighty No. 9 Dev Comcept Acquired By Level-5, 3DS Version Is Still Coming
Meh, its all about Inti Creates' Mighty Gunvolt Burst now.
Forget this noise.
Re: Nintendo Download: 15th June (North America)
Getting Mighty Gunvolt Burst and the Miitopia demo.
Re: First Impressions: Slicing Our Way Through Fire Emblem Warriors
Can't wait for this game. Hoping we get some magic users announced for this chaos soon.

I'll be keeping my eye on this one.

Re: Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 is Announced, But is Skipping Nintendo Switch and 3DS
I guess I'll have to get my Mega Man style fix on Switch via Mighty Gunvolt Burst. I'll pick up this collection on Steam, though a physical Nintendo version would have been great.
Re: Nintendo Download: 1st June (North America)
It's not listed here, but there's Ekoro character DLC for Blaster Master Zero that's free for 2 weeks, so I'm getting that.
Re: E3 is Coming, Which Means Anonymous Super Smash Bros. Switch 'Screenshots'
Team Fake.
Too many things wrong.
Re: Sonic Mania Release Date and Pricing Confirmed With Awesome Trailer
Awesome trailer! Can't wait for the game.

Re: Azure Striker Gunvolt: Striker Pack to Bring Two 3DS Gems to the Switch eShop
Guess I'm buying the Striker Pack again. The bump to 60FPS, inclusion of DLC, kudos system working in Gunvolt 1 like it does in Gunvolt 2, and ability to play on the TV are too good to pass up.
Re: Mighty Gunvolt Burst Has Been Revealed for Switch and 3DS
Definitely picking it up on Switch. I love the Gunvolt series. I hope the release isn't too far off.
As a side note, the latest episode of The Cat Mario Show has a small bit of gameplay (about four seconds) at the 8:19 mark:
Re: Video: This Culdcept Revolt Overview Covers Card Types, Online Play And Story
I kinda want for there to be a demo. I'd like to try it out myself before committing to a full purchase.

YES! Thank you, Nintendo!
Re: Sonic Forces Will Let You Create Your Own Playable Character
What a strange timeline we live in.
Re: Poll: Are You Excited About Nintendo's E3 2017 Plans?
Last year was surprisingly not bad IMO.
I think this year will at least be alright.
Re: Nintendo Download: 4th May (North America)
Picked up the Gunvolt DLC for Blaster Master Zero.

Re: My Nintendo Offers Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia Wallpaper in North America
I agree with @PlywoodStick. Should be a 3DS theme. That would be a lot more worthwhile.

Dang, this is a tough one.

Re: There's a Spring Event Coming to Fire Emblem Heroes
I didn't realize I needed bunny girl Lucina until now.
I want them all, but I hope I at least get one...
(Also, Lucina's voice actress changed from Laura Bailey to Alexis Tipton. Huh...)
And lol at "SPRING IS HERE!"
Re: Wreck-It Ralph 2 Gets a New Name and a Release Date
I loved the first movie. Can't wait for this.
Re: Nintendo Switch OS Version 2.1.0 is Now Live
I guess the whole "STABILITY" meme is going to continue on with the Switch, huh?
Re: New Kid Icarus Awards Have Shown Up on My Nintendo in North America
Awesome! I love Kid Icarus, and I enjoyed the 3D anime they did, so I'll pick those up.
Not much else to spend coins on anyway. :/
Re: Nintendo Reveals a Lovely Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia Limited Edition
Already sold out online... I wonder if I can do a walk-in pre-order at GameStop like I did for Fates' special edition...
Re: Secret Of Mana Sequel Seiken Densetsu 3 Shown Running On Nintendo Switch
So the Neo Geo games aren't technically Virtual Console? Kind of like the 3D Classics on the 3DS?
Re: Video: Blaster Master Zero and Its Loving Tribute to the NES Original
Blaster Master Zero was an awesome little game. I quite enjoyed it. Didn't know the 3DS version only ran at 30 FPS. It makes me more happy that I picked up the Switch version.
I actually didn't know about most of the games in this video. Thanks for sharing it!
Re: Video: See Sonic Forces At Its Best in Official Gameplay Footage
I was at the SXSW panel itself, and it was an absolute blast! I met everyone (plus Yuji Naka) last year, but it was great to see and talk to them again regardless. I also got to meet Tails' Channel IRL for the first time, which was awesome!
The Mania poster and Forces mini-poster were also really cool, and I was able to get them autographed by everyone along with different games from last year. I even got Iizuka-san to autograph my copy of NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams too, so it was nice seeing his reaction to that.
My friend had everyone sign his Mario hat, which led to some funny reactions, particularly from Iizuka-san. Another friend got Mr. Smith to say "You're too slow" in Sonic's voice, which was another cool moment.
