@Einherjar See, I never played that game, but just hearing RPG Tennis piques my interest infinitely more than this game has, which was a little, but not much. I don't know why Nintendo just doesn't delve back into their amazing catalog of games and copy some for the new generation. It doesn't have to be a carbon copy exactly, but at least reuse some of your own great ideas. -_-
Imagine if the Nintendo NX was actually just a phone.. a really strong phone made with the purpose of gaming. I'd definitely be interested in a Nintendo phone.
Blast Ball reminds me of the Buck Bumble multiplayer where you face another player and try to shoot the giant soccer ball into the others goal. Except that was actually kind of fun because you were flying around a decently sized map. These maps don't look very big and from what I've seen it just looks really clunky and strange. I'm not bashing the game, I'll give it it's fair due if I ever get the chance to play it, but it's not looking like I even want to right now.
This game is actually much better than I expected.. I've put a good amount of hours into it and would love it if it actually came to my phone.. which it won't, because it's a windows phone. -_-
This is my favorite "schmup"(?) of all time. My friends and I poured hours into this when we were kids. I remember buying it on a whim for like $20 and it being one of the best random buys ever.
@Shadowkiller97 Imagine a Zelda game where Link actually fails in the end, never achieving the Master Sword, leading to the flood. That would be a serious twist.
I'm really hoping that this is hinting towards Zelda U. I've been saying from the start that it could very well be a sequel to Majora's Mask in some sort of manner. I'm excited to see either way.
That's not necessarily a bad thing If they utilize all the Zelda characters and have a bunch of different stories going at the same time with them then it will be fine. I don't see why this would be a bad thing and I'm pretty sure that's what they mean by "similar to Game of Thrones" I'm not sure what else they could be getting at.
@Sleepingmudkip I'm all for it man, I'm interested to see what kind of stuff they come up with. If they come up with something that completely changes a lifestyle, sleep or otherwise, for the better then I am all for it.
...As long as it doesn't detract from their great game production.
@CharlyDunst @shinokami Thing is, I don't think this game will attract too many of those kinds of people. They are too busy playing CoD. It's nice having voice chat so you do this little thing called team work.. it's hard reading peoples minds and it's even more aggravating when someone is on your team that doesn't know what they're doing. It's nice to be able to help them out with some pointers rather than have them floundering about losing the game for their team. I can't see too many people causing trouble on a Wii U voice chat. Maybe very few and Nintendo is strict when it comes to it's rules, I'm sure rule breakers would be taken care of swiftly.
I should add, yeah, it's nice not hearing whiners and sore losers, but at the cost of not being able to chat with reasonable players? That sucks. Nintendo made a mistake here.
How will this game work with friends? Will we be able to connect with them and then go into online matches together or what? Nintendo is so backwards when it comes to online gaming it wouldn't surprise me if they didn't have this option.
@MegaStoneSmash91 If I was you, I would definitely call customer service. Any time I've ever had a problem with receiving a gift card or reward certs they have always given me what was do and sometimes even extra.
@Spoony_Tech You know, I've always liked the idea and the way you travel through dungeons in Etrian Odyssey, but I have never pulled the trigger on one because of one huge turn off: the first person battles. I just can't stand first-person RPG's. The only ones I liked recently with Legend of Grimrock for PC and I don't feel they're quite the same. I'm praying that SMT X FE doesn't adopt the first-person aspect of the SMT series because if it does I'll be VERY torn about getting it or not. I know I'm probably missing good games because of this, but it's just something that never really rubbed me the right way. Thanks though, I'll keep it in mind. Who knows, perhaps I'll check it out one of these days if I don't have anything else to do.
@B3ND3R Ahh.. well, I want the game but not that bad, I've always loved Best Buy and even if they cancelled my order I wouldn't be too mad at them. I like the GCU perk and sometimes even the pre-order perks they give. I think in the case of the Majora's Mask New 3DS it's more or less Nintendo's fault. I don't think that Best Buy wanted to give away thousands in gift cards.
Yeah.. I've never played Etrian Odyssey but I LOVE Mystery Dungeon games so I'll probably get this. I hope this pre-order becomes available at Best Buy.
@JellySplat They might have been pressured by Nintendo to cancel orders. Who knows, they might take all the cancellations and put them back up for Pre-Order. It sucks that your order got cancelled, I would be very ticked off if I had ordered two from them which would probably have been the case if I had kids or a friend that was interested. I love Best Buy, but this was stupid. They need to be clear when the order takes place and if they don't, once something is ordered it stays ordered.
This is one of the best 64 games. It was a really challenging game with a TON of content.. the multiplayer was actually pretty fun, too. I wish I still had my copy, I've been wanting to play it recently.
I actually think it looks interesting. I wonder how a Next Level Metroid would be.. I imagine it would be pretty decent based on some of their other games, also probably for 3DS..
I don't think I've looked forward to a fighting game as much I have this one. I really hope they have a good cast of Pokemon.. and obviously that it comes to the Wii U, which feels like a given.
@vonseux So far that's how I've viewed Nintendo's DLC. "howshouldbedone" I like to think that Nintendo watched all these other companies completely muck up their DLC and learned from their failures on how to do it right. The only DLC from Nintendo that I've even considered slightly lame is Fire Emblem: Awakening. Other than that, I've been really happy with it. Pikmin 3's DLC was WELL worth the $3 per pack.
Really? I mean, why not just announce it for the Wii U already? I'd be a huge mistake and loss of profit not too. How the heck is Arcade gaming even profitable anymore? I haven't even seen an arcade in Michigan in like 5 years.

Re: New amiibo Stock for Villager, Captain Falcon and Little Mac Heading to Japan in May
@allav866 Good luck on your venture, hopefully you at least find an amiibo you're after. I just got a damaged Sonic in the mail.. -_-
Re: New amiibo Stock for Villager, Captain Falcon and Little Mac Heading to Japan in May
I caved and started buying amiibos. So far I have Meta Knight, Ike, King Dedede, Mega Man and Fox. I really want Captain Falcon and Pit.
@allav866 I found one last week on a shelf at Best Buy. There were some at Gamestop, too. This is in Michigan. Maybe you can find one.

Re: Atlus Shows Off Terrific Launch Edition Extras for Etrian Mystery Dungeon

Re: Exclusive New Nintendo 3DS Features Teased For The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D

Re: Nintendo 64x64: Buck Bumble
I have very fond memories of this game. Loved the single player adventure and the 2 player soccer/football was fun, too.
Re: Feature: Meet The Playable Cast Of Hyrule Warriors

...On a serious note, I'll be getting this. Quite possibly might still pre-order it.
(But seriously, this game needs Tingle and Groose.)
