Wii U owners that haven't picked up Racing Transformed yet definitely should. It's a fantastic game, and it might even have the bonus of getting you interested in other series (similarly to Smash Bros.). STEAR CLEAR of the 3DS version, though. It's easily the worst version. If you don't have a Wii U, pick the game up off of Steam or something later.

Apart from that, I really liked Lost World (Wii U), but a lot of people disagree with me on it, so I'd recommend trying the demo first.

Sonic Generations 3DS is worth a look for its sale price. It's kind of short, and not nearly as good as the PS3/Xbox360/Steam versions, but if you are a speed runner or completionest, you'll easily be entertained for a little while. I'd say there's a decent amount of content for its current price.

I'd much prefer a Rayman RPG crossover. Or a Sonic RPG crossover. Or a Mega Man RPG crossover.

Anything other than the freakin' Rabbids, geez...

Only Etika (mah boi) could wind up getting himself on a news article on a high-profile Nintendo news site.

Is he seriously in hot water? I stopped watching the live stream to see what kind of madness Aaron and Gene were up to on the Sonic Twitch channel, so I missed this.

@Slim1999

Whoops! Thanks for the heads-up!

Already own Rhythm Heaven Fever physically. I wish it was the DS one so I could play it on the TV (even though I have that one physically too).

Sounds like it would make sense, but I'll believe it when I see it. I think it's very likely that a Smash port on the Switch is a thing, but there's no official confirmation just yet. Can't wait for January 12th!

(Also, I'm guessing this applies to the Corrin amiibo as well...?)

Will new3DS players be able to play with Wii U players? I don't think its likely, but it would be nice as I love the online multiplayer in this game when other people are actually playing, but it's so rare to actually get any oppnents... At least for me.

Does anyone know if amiibo from IPs other than AC, Splatoon, and Zelda give you cool gear?

ROLLING STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAART!

Just give me the option to get a free game again, damn it. I'm sick of this discount crap.

I skipped on Mario 3 because I wanted it on 3DS, but I'm sure regretting that decision now.

I keep forgetting about Miitopia, lol.

Interested to see what that is.

This looks pretty cool. It kind of reminds me of Sonic Lost World's Zelda Zone in a way.

I heard it lacks a map though, which I think is strange. The world seems pretty big, so I'm surprised there isn't one.

Yeah, sounds like something GameStop would do.

They also probably won't have a midnight launch for the Switch.

Best gift: Switch pre-order.

@allav866

That is brilliant on so many levels. I really hope they actually port it to the Nintendo Switch.

Look at all this! This is unreal!

At long last...

Thankfully I'll be able to watch it before heading to class.

I was hoping for some Gunvolt 2 menu themes. Japan got a ton of them, so I was hoping we'd at least get that one cool one with GV and Joule in the top and Copen and Lola on the bottom.

Maybe later.

I hope they put it on the eShop too. When I was playing through the first five games, I had to borrow Apollo Justice from a friend. It feels weird to have the rest of the entire series downloaded on my 3DS except this one.

Played the game via the Striker Pack and my personal score is an 8/10.

I find these games really addicting. I hope Gunvolt 3 becomes a thing.

@HappyMaskedGuy

Rhythm Heaven in America, Rhythm Paradise in Europe.

Nabbed a pre-order on Lucina!

@RyanSilberman

That's also a great idea.

Just make it like Generations with Act 1 being Mario and Act 2 being Sonic. It can have levels from both series' histories.

It's not that hard.

Like others here, my hype is for Mania. This is just a harmless little spin-off as far as I'm concerned. I might pick this up later down the line, but I see no reason to get it right away, especially with the Gunvolt Striker Pack coming out soon.

I still find it bizarre how the thing is launching in six months, and we still know literally nothing concrete about it.

I don't think this has ever happened before.

I think that Sonic 25th Anniversary theme came with Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice in Japan.

I'm glad it's just completely free over here, because while I am hyped for Sonic Mania, I currently have no plans to pick up Fire & Ice.

Downloaded for the coins. Decided to try each game, and...

You guys have gotta review this. It's hilariously bad.

Expected, but still disappointing.

With this, the lack of character costumes, and no way to share stages online, Wii U owners have practically no reason to pick this up.

I guess this in turn confirms that Cloud and Corrin are still on the way, so I can't wait to pick all three up.

Still need to get Ryu, so I can have all the third-party amiibo.

I'll need to go back to Bayonetta 2 at some point to try those tricks out.

It wasn't mentioned in the article, but the SMT4: Apocalypse 3DS theme is completely free.

I finally caught up on the series just the other day with Dual Destinies after first getting into the trilogy last year. This is the first time I'll get to jump into a new Ace Attorney game with everyone else. I'm pretty excited!

@Yasume
I can't remember her name, but she was the sleepy airline attendant from Investigations, right?

Meh, not the end of the world. Honestly looks like a fun little game based on the footage, though I don't know if I'd be willing to pay $5 for it.

I'm now really interested in how the Fire Emblem and Animal Crossing ones turn out.

My copy of White with Victini was lost long ago...

I'm glad to team up with Victini once again.

I guess I'll get the Fire Emblem discount, as I've actually never played that specific one before. (I've played Sacred Stones, Awakening, and Fates.)

I'm assuming I'll get gold coins from buying Spirit of Justice. Those aren't limited to Nintendo-published games, right?

I was literally talking with a friend about a Fire Emblem X Pokèmon game last night. I can't believe they actually thought about making one.

I really hope they decide to do it someday, but it probably won't be anytime soon now...

Hmm.

Guess I'll just have to get the game myself and form my own opinion on it!

@Alundra-1998

I have amiibo too, and they usually work in pretty cool ways, but they don't really have their own game of sorts.

I'd love a adventure/sandbox amiibo game.

Considering that Sega has been doing a lot of localizations recently, I wouldn't be surprised if this came out in NA next year.

That's pretty cool. I've already gone with Lego Dimensions as my toys-to-life game of choice though, and I can't possibly shed any more money for another one.

Regardless, I hope this and the Crash remasters lead up to a new Crash game at some point. I'd love a new one.

Man, Copen looks like a blast to play as.

This game can't come soon enough. I have the Striker Pack pre-ordered.

Man, that was hype. This has the potential to be really good, especially if it is basically Generations 2 gameplay-wise.

I have high hopes. The fact that it is going to be on NX is amazing, too.

(That moment when Sonic has a game announced on Nintendo's new system before Mario.)

I'm honestly pretty excited! I'll be picking it up on PC.

I found Blast Ball to be really fun, but I don't know if I'd buy Federation Force because of it. TBH, I'd like to just keep Blast Ball as its own thing.

Maybe they could release a deluxe version on the eShop kind of like Kirby Fighters and Dedede's Drum Dash...?

Still waiting on Cloud, Corrin, and Bayonetta.

Very nice review! I can't wait to pick up my pre-order on Tuesday.

I've been listening to the OST, and I most definitely agree that the music is fantastic.

Awesome news! I'm glad you guys are getting these games as well, and as physical releases.

Ace Attorney, Gunvolt 2, and 7th Dragon for me.

@MitchVogel

I'm sure. At the 20:00 mark of this year's March Nintendo Direct, the game is talked about:

NL's article: https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2016/03/video_new_azure_striker_gunvolt_2_trailer_showcases_summer_release

Before this, the first English gameplay of the game was shown at MAGFest.

https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2016/02/first_azure_striker_gunvolt_2_footage_shown_at_magfest_2016

...?

Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 has been confirmed for North America for a while now. Heck, it was featured in the last Nintendo Direct. The big news here is the Striker Pack coming over, not ASG2 specifically.

In any case, the pack is a day 1 purchase for me. And I hope the anime is awesome too!
