I was subconsciously expecting them to be tradeable, but now that I actually think about it it makes a lot of sense development (and sales) wise. I was buying anyway so I don't really care.
Doesn't come with a charger? Wat. That'll confuse at least a large chunk of newcomers who didn't have a 3DS. Best to start preparing for the "My New 3ds didn't come with a charger HELP" threads. Because they're coming.
" A particular bug that's been shown off recently is pretty eye-catching; it's impossible to miss, actually." Not for Nintendo's Debug team, it wasn't.
Probably a case of a developer thinking "Oh, its just a bunch of pixels it shouldn't be hard at all." And then they realize it is too much work, rush out a copy and it is terrible.
Its sad how everyone always asks for new games to come out, and for you to report on them, and then they don't bother to look once games are announced. And dang, that programmer is pretty inspirational.
Back on topic, this looks very hectic, to say the least, I'd need a demo to sell me right now. I don't doubt that its fun though~
To be blatantly honest the selling point is the fact that they still go for $20 used each, so $30 for three is a steal. The graphics aren't very different and are practically the same, definitely not the selling point.
How are people complaining? Mario Kart 8 is a completed game. It has more than enough content to justify a $60 purchase. Millions of sales prove that.
Now, Nintendo is allowing people who enjoyed the game to buy more characters if they like. In fact, DLC is just allowing people to buy part of a game cheaper to see if they like it, rather than have them spend $80 initially which is very off putting.
@WaLzgi Right, but they didn't deny it. And they have been told of other leaks, which they don't respond to at all, some of which became very big as well. This was a quick decision to try and remove the content, which was their property they claimed, and did not deny at all. When they're confirmed, you'll see.
The leak is legit. The amount of time to put into creating a collection of videos of that caliber, fluid and all, is too much to do since E3 unveiled the menus. To then take the characters and perfectly line them up while the screen is moving would be very time consuming. Finally, during this time of supposed creation of the videos, it would be likely for these characters to be unveiled... making it a very minimal chance this is fake. Someone wanted to cause a stir- and they did. The fact that Nintendo bothered to respond confirms it, as no other leak has recieved mention at all.
@Miss_Pixelheart Someone filmed the ESRB's video copies of the game and leaked them, most likely. Which would mean the game is being rated right now by them. Sakurai will be upset by this, but probably not mention it.
@SpaceKappa I'm on your side, seeing as the game is so close to release. There's no way this is fake at all, and if someone claims it is, they are just proving they know nothing about game development at all.
Yeah, this looks real. I don't care what anyone says, the game is too close to release to just throw this out there if its made up, it wouldn't be worth the person's time.
@DefHalan Judging by the info I was given, I think its a sequel but will focus on the combat more than the story really. I don't think missing the first story will affect the second much, though don't quote me.
HOLD IT! So long as it comes to Nintendo systems, I will keep buying. If it goes to smartphones, I can't buy them, mainly because I don't have one. If it keeps the company alive, hey, I'm all for it. Its not like its $10 or anything.
If they want a job at Nintendo, they should just ask. Honestly though, the remake is most likely coming eventually. Why they couldn't put these efforts into making a new game, I'll never understand.
Their sales are already rising, I'm sure. We'll see good results in January so I'm honestly not concerned at all. Though the best thing for Nintendo to do is GET THOSE SALES RESULTS OUT ASAP. People will be hesitant if the latest sales they can see were these, and they weren't so hot. By saying the systems are really selling, they cause a more hopeful outlook.
@Squidzilla Ah, I never encountered that issue. You should try the falling off the map one though, simply try out a track you're editing, and drive out. Overall, I agree with you, this game is iffy... but definitely could be a good game.

Re: Feature: Kickstarter's Wii U and 3DS Campaigns - 10th October
Wow. Impact Winter looks like my kind of game, narrative driven exploration & survival done right!
Re: Video: 'Nindie' Trailers Flood Nintendo's Official YouTube Channel
First two look good, others look questionable for my tastes.
Re: Nintendo Download: 2nd October (North America)
@ThomasBW84 Wiiware =/= Wii U eShop, but you said 99 Seconds was on Wiiware (probably because you mentioned DSiware).
Re: More Minecraft Mania Looks Set for Wii U With Stone Shire
I hope this is the end of these announcements. One was too many.
Re: Warlocks Battles For Final Funding Push, With Wii U Version Planned
@rp17 I don't have a gaming PC though, or any PC to try it out on.
I should have been more specific. :3

Sad to hear online is dead, I know I'd buy it if there were matches to be had.
Re: Capcom Shows Off Comparison Screens For Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy
To be blatantly honest the selling point is the fact that they still go for $20 used each, so $30 for three is a steal. The graphics aren't very different and are practically the same, definitely not the selling point.
Re: SmileBASIC Will Bring Petit Computer Game Development to 3DS Next Year
@Usagi-san I believe it has PS1 graphical capabilities. But I can't find where I saw that. D:

I love looking at these screenshots, I can just imagine how much fun Sakurai's having setting these up!
Re: Video: This is a Video Game

That piece was very well written.
If you are planning to type out some long argument to this, you need to seriously reconsider your life.

I'm probably just getting too old for these city folk and their flying machines, but I can't find the power button.
Re: Nintendo 64x64: 1080° Snowboarding
I like this series. Lets me flex my reviewing muscle a bit without having to actually write out a whole review.
Re: Wii U Shooter Splatoon Almost Starred Mario As The Main Character
I don't know how many times I said I wanted Mario Paintball.
This is a waaaay better choice though. But I'd still take some Mario Paintball action on ghe side, of course.
Re: Mario Kart 8 DLC Coming In November, Features Zelda, F-Zero And Animal Crossing
@MasterWario I hope so, otherwise this would be the dumbest move ever.
Re: Mario Kart 8 DLC Coming In November, Features Zelda, F-Zero And Animal Crossing
@IxC I'm sorry, but did you want Nintendo to wait 8 months to sell MK8, and basically leave the Wii U to die? I think you can make an exception here.

Re: Image & Form's Olle Hakansson Teases New SteamWorld Game
He needs to release it on Nintendo first because for some reason a number of Nintendo fans get butthurt when it comes out somewhere else first.

@WaLzgi Right, but they didn't deny it. And they have been told of other leaks, which they don't respond to at all, some of which became very big as well. This was a quick decision to try and remove the content, which was their property they claimed, and did not deny at all.

Re: Nintendo Download: 21st August (North America)
Everybody should download Disney Infinity for the Free Club Nintendo coins, of course.
Re: Thorium Wars: Attack of the Skyfighter Takes Flight on 3DS eShop on 28th August
@DefHalan Judging by the info I was given, I think its a sequel but will focus on the combat more than the story really. I don't think missing the first story will affect the second much, though don't quote me.
Re: Wii U System Update 5.1.2 Takes Stability to Another Level
They really need to fully stabilize the market, if anything.
Re: Watch Dogs Will be the Only "Mature" Ubisoft Game on Wii U in Upcoming Lineup

@ThomasBW84 I clicked because of the tagline, that is such a perfect reference!
Re: Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS File Size is 2.1GB, According to Japanese Packaging
This scares me as to the scope of the game. 1/3 the size of brawl...
I hope they managed to fit a lot in there efficiently..
Re: Capcom Releases Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies on iOS, at a Lower Price

Re: Weirdness: There's a Fish That Plays Pokémon

Re: Super Smash Bros. For 3DS To Feature More Trophies Than Brawl
Rumor has it that Smash will also have more characters, stages and music than Brawl did too.
Re: Super Mario Kart Speeds Onto the North American Wii U eShop
@ThomasBW84 "A day normal than the standard Download Update," doesn't make sense.
Normal should be replaced with after~
Re: The Club Nintendo Reward Details Are In For August
They should really get 3rd parties and indies involved in this somehow.

Did you encounter any glitches too, such as driving off the edge of the Track Editor map? xD

Re: NES Remix Titles Coming in Physical Version to North America
The way Bill Trinen announced it on the stream was so awkward. He basically said it randomly after a round of smash.
Re: You Won't Need To Track Too Much Treasure To Buy Captain Toad
@Spoony_Tech I agree, I'm going to wait on any $15 - $40 downloads Nintendo puts out this year, then see if I can grab one free.
