Regarding the Zelda Amiibo...I had already got Link for myself & Peach for my daughter.
A few weeks ago my fiance and I were in Walmart and she said 'they have Zelda now' I replied 'not really interested in her RIGHT NOW' but I might as well go ahead and pick her up not knowing when/if I may see her stocked anywhere again.'
Judging by some comments here that was a good decision. They had only 2 or 3.
I play several different genres of games, but when the 3DS was released I said to myself 'I'm going to get out of my comfort zone, I'm going to go U/3DS for the majority of gen 8. I'm gonna purchase games I'd never thought I would enjoy or didn't get the chance at the time previous games in that series released.'
That opened my eyes to great, beautiful, and very enjoyable games I would have never played like:
Pikmin 3, Animal Crossing:New Leaf, Pokemon X, Shovel Knight, Unepic, Child of Light, Assassin's Creed IV, Splinter Cell:Blacklist.
This. I enjoy the Wii U, but the Wii turned me off of Nintendo and towards PS3 in the 7th gen.
Skyward Sword was a huge letdown and Zelda is my top favorite series ever. If it wasn't for Zelda, I'm not sure I would even still be with Nintendo, at least not home console.
I've heard the Wii has some hidden gems, but I couldn't give them a chance because I did not know about them at the time due to seeing mostly shovelware in stores where I live.
7th gen Nintendo disappointed me. Then the Wii U came along and got me very excited with 3rd Party 'partnerships' and Nintendo demoing what looked like could be the greatest Zelda, nay, the greatest video game of all time. Alas, that all was not meant to be.
Still think the U is the best home Nintendo console ever, but I share the bits of disappointment a lot of lifelong N gamers share. Nintendo, show us you still got what it takes to redeem yourself and show the rest of the world that Nintendo will not back down, Nintendo will fight to their last game!
Perfect!! That means Wii U owners now pretty much have 0% chance we won't be getting Mortal Kombat!! First pull this, then don't even bother with a game that will most likely be awesome!
9.5 from me. Visuals are great, gameplay is amazing, but took off a half point for length and I would have preferred no time limit or an unlockable option to do so.

Re: Video: Shigeru Miyamoto and Takashi Tezuka Show Off Super Mario Maker
Tezuka was totally trolling Miyamoto. Hilarious video, I'd also like to see Miyamoto play other N devs series for the lulz.

Nothing since though.

Very powerful question here.

Re: Feature: 12 Days of Christmas - Animal Crossing Helped 3DS Turn Over a New Leaf
Got this on July 31st and have only missed two days. Was too tired from a long week at work and was too lazy to turn on 3DS.
They've made a new AC fan of me. Hopefully Wii U will get in two or three years!
Re: Feature: 12 Days of Christmas - Pikmin 3 Finally Ended the Long Wait
This was my first Pikmin game and I loved it!
9.5 from me. Visuals are great, gameplay is amazing, but took off a half point for length and I would have preferred no time limit or an unlockable option to do so.
