Since Nintendo plan to support the 3DS even late in the life cycle, 3rd parties could do the same and take advantage of that established user base. What game I'd want in particular, I'll keep that a secret untold.... three.... wink wink, nudge nudge...

Pulverizing Pancake once per battle instead of a Mega Snorlax. Gamefreak, I am disappoint.

I'd rather Twilight Princess on N3DS. Or old 3DS.

If anything VC related, Chrono Trigger and Secret of Mana would be nice. I might even spend the atrocious VC price to get those. Maybe.

@ThomasBW84 Sure, I hope. I just have trouble trusting Nintendo with not attacking its own fans, since they're capable of claiming and monetizing entire podcasts/reviews for showing their publicly available trailers for a fraction of the running time, taking down fan games, etc.

Shhh, can you hear that? That is a Cease and Desist crossing the sound barrier.

I'd like some Atlus release dates for Europe, if that could happen. SMT4A, 7th Dragon III, EO5. Maaaaaybe some new RPG titles announced. NX not being announced doesn't mean they can't announce games~

@Gerbwmu Well, some Direct better be coming. That, or they plan to explain the NX on release day.

Awwwwwww....

Force feedback? Will it have UNLIMITED POWER tho?

@HADAA Yes. But still, if they went all the way and killed off all their attorneys (can't get over this), not just adjust the legal system so it doesn't include a possibility of legal defense period (presumably because they'd represent opposition to their ideology), they'd just enforce Rayfa's interpretations as absolute truth. Why is Phoenix the first one to point out there's something fishy about the system and get away with it? I'm genuinely curious. If you know already, don't say it, I want to find out myself by playing the game

I think what he says after what is this article's title is more important. All the "explaining of the uniqueness" in the world won't help you if it doesn't have great games from the start and you expect it to sell like hot cakes just because it has the Nintendo name on it. All those titles he named as reasons to buy WiiU should have been there from launch. Zelda isn't even out yet.

@Dizzard Guess that's what interesting, how they can handle it in narrative. This could be easily a very refreshing and clever addition to the series or a failed attempt at being different just for the sake of it. Can't wait for reviews.

@Dizzard You'd think a regime that executed all of their attorneys because of said prophecies would be a bit more fanatical about them, wouldn't you
I'm not looking for realism in Phoenix Wright games, just some internal logic. This is the universe where the parrot was called to the witness stand, but it made sense in context. I think

I'm curious about this game. Mostly how they tackle the problem of having a dictatorship where facts don't matter, because they have these divine prophecies. How will proving that without any doubt the prophecy is wrong in court stop them from saying "Nah, the prophecy is always right" and have Phoenix executed like all the other lawyers in the country? I want it to be good, but I don't really know about this premise.

Why would you want somebody else to cut the grass for you? There are rupees and hearts in there. So much hard work of the Picori wasted.

I want SMT4 Apocalypse already mrgrgr...

I don't see a problem with the sand castle. My top three ground types are Krookodile, Flygon and Nidoking in that order, but this could come close. It's like a traditional RPG slime monster, only more creative, somewhat creepy and that dumb shovel on top of its head gives it a silly charm. I think this one has a guaranteed spot on my SM team, together with Rowlet and Vikavolt.

@J-Manix98 Personally, I'd prefer if they discarded this whole hidden ability idea and just made them regular abilities and Pokemon had all their abilities at once. So many cool situational abilities get little use because they get overshadowed by the most awesome and useful ones. Plus it would bring more depth into the game.

Shell Armor. Woo hoo. So useful.

Almost as Snow Cloak on Alolan Sandslash.

@Anti-Matter Just because sarcasm is sometimes difficult to detect in internet comments, I'll clarify that what I wrote was supposed to be a "The Da Vinci Code" joke

The Iwata Code reveals that Mario was actually married to Peach and they have descendants to this day and this truth has been suppressed by Nintendo.

Location data could reveal trade secrets?

Secret underground Volkswagen factories run by goblins confirmed.

I haven't had a console until I was in my teens. Before then, I have fond memories of visiting my older cousins during summer and playing Crash with them. It was one of the first games I ever played. Hopefully this could lead to some new Naughty Dog level Crash games being made.

Obligatory "Oh snap!" comment

@JaxonH
Oldie but goodie

Shin Megami Tensei: What fundamentalist Christians thought Pokemon was like

Good thing: Raichu getting love
Bad thing: We will probably not get Mega Raichu now

Ideally, what I'd want is for any fully evolved Pokemon to be usable online as a strong team member with reasons to use it over similar Pokemon when building a team. AFAIK Raichu doesn't really benefit very much by doubling its speed even if they buffed Electric Terrain to be a viable strategy. Buffing SpA would be better.

Great, now we just need EOV to take example from Frodo and sail west.

Serebii: "Alolan Marowak developed in response to its natural predators in order to resist them. "

I knew those Alolan Exeggutor were up to something with their long necks to stalk prey. You stand by a coconut tree and then suddenly...

Oh look, SF4 costing the same as the SF virtual console games. <- This observation is probably irrelevant.

If some of the rumours I read are true, and there are no new mega evolutions (or no mega evolution whatsoever, replaced by these single use dance move tactical nukes), I'll be highly disappointed.

@UmbreonsPapa Yeah, I know, which is why I mentioned the Bambi eyes But it still looked like a big beast, that you could use to, dunno, carry very heavy things around or whatever. It looked like your little Chikorita grew into something big and strong, and I'm not sure I get this impression from the Popplio evolution.

But again, I am no genwunner, I'm not saying they were the best at the start. I just think that the concept I mentioned is something that is important for starters, and I think gen1 and some of gen2 starters embodied it relatively well.

Well, if I were to go a bit more negative than my previous comment, I might say I can see why people would dislike these designs besides "lol fugly"

The Gen1 starters evolved into three badass lizards, all of which looked like they were quite big. Gen2 had Meganium with Bambi eyes, but it was still a big looking dinosaur. The others were a punk alligator and a frickin flaming honey badger. Case closed.

The starters are in a way supposed to represent the core concept of Pokemon. Little monster -> Big badass monster. I'm not sure how many people want to see their little mon grow into a FABULOUS mermaid. I presume that can be badass too, but it's just not the same as when you look at Blastoise.

So, I don't think these are bad decisions, but they are questionable...

Rowlet is still the best by this theory. The evo could star in his owl stealth game.

(Also Litten evo is dum and looks like little Timmy's first Sonic OC, Steroid the Catman, original character do not steal)

I... kinda see this as quite possibly legit. I don't like that the Litten evo is humanoid, but it could still be a dark type and not fighting, so it might still not be the absolutely worst thing ever. Same thing as Delphox, not really a fan, but it's passable.

Nothing wrong with the Rowlet evo. Hope it gets some arrow related good offensive/utility moves like a grass move super effective against flying or something..

Popplio evo is a siren or some similar beautiful water thing similar to Milotic. Mermaids were inspired by manatees so OK. Better than Litten.

So many... feelings... right now...

Did they seriously just (finally?) innovate the 8 gyms thing?

Dragon Exeggutor.

Different types variations? Very cool idea, makes the world feel more alive. But what about megaevolutions? Especially Sandslash is a good candidate to get a ME.

@Uncensored If that is the case, I hope they don't think the lack of launch titles the Wii U had will be solved by releasing NX with 5 Wii U games and Nintendoland 2

Hope the Wii U games will see the light of day on other systems. I'd play Xenoblade X or Tokyo Mirage Sessions...

@VanillaLake Well, to be fair, Symphony of the Night costs 10€ on PSN so they're not the only ones who are doing it.

@BulbasaurusRex I'd give 3€ at most. I think Nintendo could make better profit if they were selling legacy games at that price. 8€ is something I'd pay for a big semi-recent game on sale on Steam or PSN, or even some sales on the Nintendo eshop. Heck, look at the recent Atlus price drops in Europe. Much better value.

I don't want to advocate emulators and piracy, but when you're selling your old games that cost you little effort to make available, and the value you're offering is basically that you're the only source of them except Ebay, where because of collectors these games go for like a hundred dollars + appealing to the customer's morality ("Piracy is wrong, you wouldn't pirate that old game, would you?")... Well, I think then something is wrong.

Also I think it can't be compared to used games stores. You can resell physical games, so they can be more expensive.

No thank you. Only VC SNES game I was willing to buy for the outrageous price they want for it was ALttP since that is one of my nostalgic greatest games of all time, and Super Metroid, since the price was lowered thanks to ALttP, haven't played it yet and it's a legendary game. I think noone except for the most diehard fans will buy these games at that price.

Hmm, this could be interesting to see, even though it's apparently not exactly something all gamers must love to read about

@scamander It could be localized only in English. Nothing is ever localized for my country just because the market is smaller than France or Germany, and we've managed. Kids can learn English by playing games. I learned from Pokemon and Golden Sun back in the day

But there's Mewtwo in there!

Yeah, because if they released both too close to each other, everyone would just buy the one with Pigtails McCleavagepants over there on the cover and ignore 7 completely

Whatever it is, what's more important is how they sell it. They should stop this waiting suspense already or they'll have no time to build hype for the actual thing that people know what it actually is.

All I care is whether there will be good games on it. Like more Fire Emblem, Etrian Odyssey and SMT, if it's supposed to replace the 3DS. Otherwise, I know where to find Persona 5... Don't screw up Nintendo.

Lady Layton? Did he procreate and have a daughter? Imagine how it went with how he usually goes about doing things.

"Dear, this reminds me of a...." NO brain stop it!

I still can't believe the prices on those SNES games.

Mega Raichu please. I don't care if they create it just so Pikachu can kick his ass in the anime or something. He deserves more love.
