@rjejr More titles are going on sale because after the Wii Shop, Nintendo actually gave the developers more liberty in the eShops to offer different prices. Before they were pretty much set in stone.
However, Nintendo is still reluctant to discount its own games at all, except special launch offers (like the Zelda Oracles eShop launch day deal). So it's half a step forward.

This game is very addicting, even in the free to play version. I've been having a blast online, and it's all been free!
Solid review, I agree on every part, especially the sound effects. I love the ones where the people in the subs start talking in the background!

@3wdiisu omg y u so srs

"With the different sizes of the 3DS screens, we found ourselves occasionally mistaking a spot around the border of certain photos for a "difference," when in fact it was just part of the picture that wasn't visible on the top screen."

Was the game so bad that they managed to make the bottom screen image larger than the top screen image?

500!
I've never seen a lowest score run of anything before, what a clever idea.

I didn't even finish the demo it was so boring. And the graphics are too soft, as well as some strange lighting, it all just rubbed me the wrong way.

Does anyone else see where DK got hit with that bat? D:
I love the new design and animations too, I hope the gameplay is there to match.

IX was such a great game that I'll take anything I can get.

Rock fairy?
If it has good stats, it'll probably be banned.
I mean, unless ground hits it.

If you only give a system 2% effort, you can't expect any more in return.

I think Wii Fit is more of a tool to help you than an actual way to lose weight. If you plan to lose much weight fast by waggling a wii remote, you're crazy. But if you get it it may inspire you to start really exercising and using it as a tool.

Episodes are nice except its a way of selling you a very expensive game in small chunks, I hate having to buy more to finish what I've started. I hope on the eShop there is an option to buy a whole season for like 10% off, because then I could play it all at once.

This is one of my favorite game series, glad I picked it up physical here a few months back.

Dang, Yacht Club Games has so many great ideas, full steam ahead!

So it seems more like PW with Layton influences to me in the court section, then Layton with PW influences in the field. The best of both worlds!

Looks like The "Mighty Wizard No. 9".
Unless it turns out to actually be good.
But uh, Live Action =/= Pixar

So judging by NOA's track record, I can expect this to hit US shores... never!

Another returner that many are happy to see, but again a missed opportunity to shake things up a little. Lucario just seems too average to interest me.

I can only imagine sitting in class when...
"Mama-mia! You have'a a text message! Yahoo!"

So costomer loyalty will give discounts... kinda like a DDP extension I suppose.

I'm very surprised of all things to move up, it would be Mario Party. Although maybe a ton of kids only just heard about it being released, then went to buy it? Regardless it is pretty unexpected.

@Raylax Ah, that's what I was wondering. It would be useful if they stacked, so that hatching shinies with Shiny ID could be easier, you'd get a match way more frequently.

@Serebii Thanks for the info!
Now I have to get a shiny charm to help with my Masuda'ing.
Also I knew they weren't really "hackers" (I still don't think 3DS has been fully hacked yet) but I used it as a broad term for, getting information out of the game you're not supposed to see, I guess
Also, I'm just curious, does the shiny charm temporarily give you multiple shiny IDs, or does it limit the Shiny IDs of wild pokemon and eggs to a smaller number to increase the rate?
@AlbertoC The Destiny Knot was in Gen V, but was only given the breeding ability in Gen VI.

• The shiny charm does not actually help increase the shiny rate of hatched eggs, only wild pokemon met in battle.
• The odds of hatching a shiny pokemon using Masuda method is confirmed to be 1/800 something (863 I believe, don't quote me). This has been confirmed by hackers (the same ones who discovered the 1/4096 number).
• As a heads up, resetting will not change the IVs or Shinyness of an egg unless it is a few in advance. Basically, the game calculates the IVs and Shiny ID of the next egg as soon as you pick up the current one. So resetting for a shiny every egg is pointless because it will never work.
• Using a Talonflame with Flame Body ability is the best, because it can fly to Kiloude and hatches eggs faster, and only takes up one party slot.
• Eggs have a chance of appearing every 255 steps, around the length of a max repel. After recieving an egg, moving left all the way up the multiple stairs, then back to the daycare will always give more than 255 steps, and then it is safe to head right (if there was no egg), which is safer since it is closer to 255 and sometimes you can take less (ie, taking 255th step as the breeder is on screen, and he won't turn around). So always start left.

This game hopefully will live up to all the hype. If its a winner, I hope Yacht Club Games sticks on Nintendo as their major platform...

Aww, I was hoping for this to possibly prepare for Bank.

So Kirby is selling like 3D World in total sales? I'd have thought it would do better faster honestly.

Wow.
This means that edge grabbing will likely be used less, as it was a way to get back onto the field after being smashed off, as you are usually hit off with high damage. That together means you need skill to get back, amd can't just hang there... and it basically shifts the battles more towards land then in air.
And letting grabs be trumped means that there will be less time spent on the edge...
All in all, their goal was obviously to keep people from making returns as often after smashes, especially against serious players, giving them an edge if they are in better health and not being flung around.

I could barely get a round object to work in the demo. Honestly. Its like playing a platformer where the jump button doesn't work sometimes.

I bought this 3 days ago and feel very lucky. D:

It's finally time to prepare for either the eventual downfall of Nintendo to smartphones... or prepare for the best games Nintendo has ever made. It is all currently hanging on MK8 and Smash... and Mario won't cut it. Lessgo Nintendo.

Good to have Indies on Wii U like this. It shows promise.
Funny how no matter how you look at it, Indie will always end with die, and Wii U will always be called dead. A perfect match.

Honestly, Nintendo has made some dumb decisions with the Wii U. Mainly, they needed to quickly get a Must Have Title out there, besides more Mario. Because casual people even won't buy excess mario. Or wii sports again. And hardcore people don't want Gamepad focused Rayman, or easy mario, or Zelda remakes.
People want new experiences. Who would spend money on the same thing again? So far, nearly everything Wii U has Wii had better or the same, besides graphics. And Wii has a lot of games to choose from.
3DS is how the Wii U should be treated; get major franchices on there, and ACTUALLY MAKE THEM NEW. What has been new on WiiU? Nothing. Maybe control scheme, but that's nothing big.
Nintendo needs to just get some new content out there... Tropical Freeze won't cut it. MK8 may do it if it has enough new ideas. Even Smash Bros needs more than an HD covering.
With every rehash Nintendo releases, they are just lowering and lowering the world's expectations of themself, and losing their target audience.
Didn't see that big gap coming, eh Iwata? Maybe now you should acknowledge that canyon, and build a support bridge over it, instead of looking for a way around (because with the size of the gap you made, you'll never get around it).

'Renegade Kids' in the title?

Glad to see them do this, they could easily grab the 3DS FPS market if they play their cards well, which they already seem to be.

I still think there was a mix up, and its not a Christian game, but it was in fact made by a guy called Christian.
Because no way this is religiously allowed. At all. If I flung fruit at my Pastor and shouted "Get in the boat!" I don't think he'd get it.

Retro has failed to disappoint so far. So whatever they make, I hope its a stale steries in need of new ideas. They did great reinvigorating both Donkey Kong and Metroid... F-Zero would seem like a logical next step to me.

If Nintendo made something like this open to close third party developers, and even some not close ones with great games, it would result in more games.

This is obviously by EA. They were with Wii U from the beginning, raising it up like a child, then dropped it day 1.
They left many things out too.
If its EAs, I'd say they couldn't program it from stupidity over the hardware's fault. Games can be ported just fine. They have been before.
They basically said, "Wii U won't do the work for us. Who wants to spend money to make games? Let's go to Sony where we watch them make games for us for pennies, and make millions."

@Knuckles I was too. Maybe it's a Christmas / New Year's miracle?

Glad to see he's back, but again, one less spot for someone new.

This happened all the time on Colors!3D, people posted paintings looking for boy/girl friends. They then "went out" and by that I mean had a conversation, and then "broke up" when they realized they were "dating" a random dude.
Happened. Every. Day.

Streetpass and Mega Gengar/Kingkahn/Mawile heaven right there.

They're just struggling with online at this point. Delayed games because of it, taking games down, not including online in many games, no voice chat, XY/Christmas server crash... they left it out so the game could be better because it probably was failing to work right.
To deliver the "NES" experience would mean to use new technology in new ways... how is doing this new and innovative I ask you?

Anti-American conspiracy has gone on long enough.

Make a spiritual Wii Sports 3D, like Wii Sports, waggle included in gyro controls! Now you can shake until the top screen snaps right off! And that's not all, the graphics will be even worse than the original, with a 3D effect that'll punch you in the face its so realistic(ly bad)! And the actual sports are followed by minigames where you put your 3DS in sleep mode for 10 hours! All in the name of creativity.

This would certainly go against predictions.

They are just looking for positive press for themselves. Even if that was his true opinion, which it may not be, they're doing it so that people notice them in a positive way. (Which is a better new strategy than Nintendo's had in a while admittedly )

Not a huge soccer fan, but if its discounted in eShop I'll consider. Good they're bringing it iver though.

Just because you're a small company is no excuse to release a game with uninspired and bland art direction, among unresponsive controls. With only 6 levels it sounds like this was a rushed game, because with so few levels more time could have been put into the game design.

I'm not a huge FPS fan... but if they manage to announce something great I'll be sure to watch.

Their games have just been too expensive for me to buy with extra eShop funds; but not attractive enough to buy a new card to get. ">__>
If this has challenge I'll bite; most games lack very difficult challenge today. Hopefully its not just Denpa Men 3 with a hard mode.
