I've had these for a bit; the NL team really should upload theirs too, even if it's only in the forums, as I'd love to have you all in there. If you create the QR codes in game, they come with the voices, clothes and room you also currently have on them. :3
I still think this is a little better myself; it's a good deal for a puzzle fan with a dollar to spare. It certainly isn't a Gunman Clive, but the different modes are fun enough to provide some entertainment. Unfortunately, it would probably fare better on 3DS for quick pick up play.
@XCWarrior I thought GEOM was worth the dollar, the three modes provide a bit of entertainment. Unless you hate going for high scores, as that's all you do besides Bronze/Silver/Gold trophies on each mode.
@PvtOttobot I agree with @Romeo in that they don't, its just a sterotype the rest of the world has. While some do indeed, many do not, but only the offending anime are brought to public attention usually.
All it'll take is one bad comment to set off the bomb... best keep a sharp eye out @HylianJowi. :3 I personally support this law, it seems morally just.
That is the best subheading ever. I'd take 750k for all of my games... then you can just rebuy ones you want to play and still be set for life. Statistically, $750,000 / 10,000 games = Approx $75 per game. This guy definitely made a profit.
@Jazzer94 @Mahe It will help hardware sales though, it will always be a deciding factor in buying a Wii U. Watch_Dogs will be a deciding factor in other systems for now, but it will eventually be on every platform and not as influential... so it is coming out for release with more of bang than Mario Kart 8 would. Even if MK8 sells great at first, this is a mere fraction of its overall sales, so slower than Watch_Dogs by a long shot...so I'm very confused. Especially since MK7 was on the "dead" 3DS... yeah that had terrible sales, definitely not evergreen at all. I still fail to see any confusion.
I fail to see the confusion. Mario Kart is evergreen, starts off slow, ends slow, and settles in for the long run. Anyone saying otherwise is an idiot; as it happens every time. Of course it wouldn't sell better than Watch_Dogs, that game is multiplat and decided to come in, and therefore go out, with a bang. Different strategies, and yet you all compare them because they are in the same chart. That proves nothing.
@Kirk While Splatoon was streaming yesterday on Treehouse, the Nintendo stream had well over 36,000 viewers watching. Sony had almost 2000. You do the math.
Meanwhile, the rest of the world will have to settle for cheap toys at McDonalds. I'm not complaining, except the part where Japan's promotion is way better.
@WinterWarm Dat quadruple post tho. I'd like to see, again, Baten Kaitos on 3DS... and I can safely say that I've yet to find someone who agrees it'll happen... You'll all see tomorrow! >:3
@Peach64 I agree, most buyers who are awaiting a game buy it on launch day. Then a few buy it over the next week, and finally it hits a steady level of a few hundred(?) copies per week. Point is, I don't see where the confusion sets in for most people as its pretty standard. That said, Tomodachi Life was never going to sell well to the masses, it's just too Japanese. I thought it was going to be a niche Japanese title, and not marketed, whoever told Nintendo to spend this much marketing it wasn't too bright. Spend that money more on E3 or Mario Kart 8.
Nooooo! Dragon Grass typing totally just ruined Sceptile to Ice and Fairy. >__> Mega Diance looks cool, but uh, what? Why does it need that if it isn't out yet.
Fake. Simple as that. Why you ask? Well, for one thing the 'Mario Maker' text doesn't exactly align with the top of the poster. Second, the bricks below the poster look awkward, especially considering every other display left that part blank. Third, wouldn't someone have found the trademark for Mario Maker already?
I had my fill on the 3DS to be honest. Maybe if it introduced something new it'd be worth my money, but at least its not Crashmo. If there's a cheap sale I'll go for it I suppose.
Messages appearing on my gamepad in sleep mode? What kind of idea is that? As in, when my system is powered off, say at 2AM, and charging, all the sudden it'll turn on? Isn't that bad for both my charging battery and my sanity? I better be able to turn that off. >___>
I honestly feel like delaying WD and then releasing it on the same week as MK8 as well as delaying only the Wii U version is just to spite Nintendo. I mean seriously, they had to know when MK8 was coming. >__>
Nice, I always liked seeing the damage output. Although this is bad for players with a lot of damage, it adds a good amount of strategy needed that it seemed like the 3DS version may have missed out on.
WE LIKE IKE! Ike needed to come back, and hopefully Chrom will be revealed at e3. The FE series just reached an expansion in popularity and deserves the extra character slot for Chrom. And Ike is honestly one of the coolest looking characters so far. I'm loving all these designs lately Sakurai~
Its pretty funny how oblivious some of the people commenting are. I might as well join in. HEY, DOOD. Why didn't you include SMASH BROS over FALLBLOX? I mean, srsly, u be like stupid or everything. blerg a blagh, I mean, you agree rite because it be like the best game since wii u bowling and all that and STUPID decision bro. Bad choice. When was this list made, IN APRIL or something, I mean come on there's like not even 5 games out on wii u yet. U________U
This is pure genius, it will send sales skyrocketing. People will want the demo, not get it, and then just buy the real game. Those that get the demo will have a chance of buying it too. Great plan, bring it worldwide please!
@smikey This game doesn't use theL button, and the R button only speeds up the animations, which there's also a touchscreen button for. You should be able to fully enjoy the game.
