FINALLY FINALLY AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Crunchyroll, Netflix, Youtube & Net Browser would be my absolute most wanted

I know my friend prefers his Switch as a docked console pretty absolutely - even though I don't yet have a Switch, I'm sure though that I'll be using it as a handheld almost exclusively. I've always liked handhelds more than consoles, specifically Nintendo handhelds. Like, I've always enjoyed console and pc gaming, but without a doubt Ninty Handhelds (GBA - DS - 3DS) have been the cherished core of my gaming experience. Plus it's just more convenient with only so many TVs in the house.

I'm playing Kirby's Dream Land on my GBA SP, just arrived in the mail today. Other than that, not much...no switch blues.

I wonder if the city is the same as in Donkey Kong (both arcade & '94) & Mario vs Donkey Kong.

@BLP_Software Also the DSi - I doubt too many ppl where that invested in it but from like 2010 til 2011 (When I got the 3DS lol) I definitely made a lot of use of that browser. Kinda nostalgic tbh - as was the 3DS browser. From like 2011-2012 I put a LOT of time into that 3DS browser it was my main method of browsing for a while.

Heeeey apparently Studio Khara (aka Hideaki Anno's funhouse AKA The mad genius behind Evangelion) is going to be handling cutscenes/art in this game! That's incredible!

This is a crazy list! Hopefully they all are actually committed, but if so, this will be the most third-parties working on a Ninty console in a while! Very impressive, top tier devs from all over the world & some lesser but still interesting companies!

Honestly, as an animation fan, I think it looks pretty great in motion. And really, that's a big factor people seem to forget. Not every single frame of an animation is going to look like a gorgeous work of art, especially if said animation is designed more with motion in mind. (For comparison, Western animation focuses much more on fluidity than anime, for the most part mind you as there are huge exceptions, and neither style is inherently better or worse)

This kind of reminds me of the crazy-awesome moments from Birdy the Mighty Decode 02, where the style got all sketchy and crude and the action was ratcheted up to an 11. Some people took stills from the moments, making the individual frame look totally laughable as if I child had scribbled it. But that takes it horribly out of context, because in motion, the action was insane and beautiful. This feels like a similar case, but I'll reserve too much judgement for when/if I actually watch this.

@Wexter Oh don't worry - Saionji's pretty lovely too. I just loved this look Touga gave way back in episode 1. He was watching Utena's first duel through a freaking opera glass & said something like "Oh you light my fire baby." That moment was just too amazing.

@Utena-mobile Ooh hey a fellow Utena fan! I used to frequent the anime forum on here a lot - in fact it was that forum that was hugely responsible for me getting seriously into anime in 2013. I might go back at some point ha. Still - great to see people who love that show.

What a cool guy

@Mainsaile I dunno - it's been a while since I played TP, but I remember liking the large Hyrule Field despite, maybe because, of the emptiness, I felt it gave it a really grand scope. I never beat the game because I was lending it from someone way back, but I remember adoring it, and loving the atmosphere and epic scale.

I, for one, am hyped.

@Peach64 That would be incredible. I've wanted to play those forever, but the longer I wait, the prices just keep increasing. That would really be a godsend.

People have always been speculating what Retro's doing for years now. There's always been leaks, theories, and one pretty good game released in a now (almost) six year period. Their pedigree and lack of new games/info invite that to a degree. I remember years ago hoping they would work on Star Fox, more Metroid, or maybe F-Zero, but idk how many of those are likely. Than again, Ninty has new management which might capitalize on their icons more than under Iwata. (Whether that's good or bad we'll see, after years of Iwata I'm sure many fans are longing for more games, but at the same time Iwata, while he had his mistakes, was by far one of the most genuine and enthusiastic CEOs I've ever seen. His decisions, while not always sound, always felt like he meant it. His leadership is likely a big part of Ninty's rep for marching to the beat of its own drum. I wonder whether the new management will still be as darn genuine and enthusiastic about games, and whether quality will slip as quantity goes up. We'll see I guess.)

Ah...Platinum games how I love thee.

If Itoi doesn't want to do more, I think that's very respectable. Unlike other mediums, video-gaming seems unique (in a negative way) in that it never seems to want to let a series end, unless it's unsuccessful. With books or movies, a series ends when the story is closed or the creator wants to, (ideally - obviously when things get hugely popular & have multiple interests to please, series can get horribly milked) but with video games it seems that people always want remakes, redos, updates, sequels, endlessly. Even when you have a nearly perfect record of games in a series, fans still demand more. Sometimes I wonder - should we as fans and consumers of this medium be more content with what we already have, (thousands of amazing games over the years) rather than always looking forward towards the new? People always complain or beg for new better games, but do we ever stop to realize how many games we already have I dunno - just a thought.

On the topic of this looking like a "PS2" game - first off this clearly is well above what a PS2 could handle, the comparison is rather silly. There's no way a PS2 could handle this stuff, espcially at 60 fps. I should know, I actually just bought a PS2 for cheap & am in the middle of playing through it's huge library.
Also on a second note, I think art style far trumps actual graphical fidelity. Games that were more stylized in previous generations tend to age far better than those that go for realism. Even though it's being used as an insult, there are still several games that look stunning on the PS2. Metal Gear Solid 2 & 3, Shadow of the Colossus, Shin Megami Tensei III, all those games still look great, not the least of which is because of their impeccable art design. Wind Waker is a ninty example of that same principle, that game still looks great, even the original gamecube version.
Finally - it's Star Fox! You guys have complained and begged for a new Star Fox for years! You all played and loved Star For 64, and probably still do, and some of us enjoy the other games as well & this has better graphics than those by far! When you go back and play 64 do you think "This looks like sh*t?" Or any of the gamecube games? Seriously, it's rather ridiculous that after so long we finally get a new Star Fox with improved gameplay, and all the people who begged for it for so long are ranting about the graphics....yeesh.

Besides the game looks very good & they're clearly improving it before release.

Finally YESSSSS!!!!

Finallyyyyyy lol

Oh I forgot to mention Rodea the Sky Soldier. I've been waiting a long time for this one. But SMT IV Final is at the very top of my hype charts.

I'm pretty excited for Triforce, Yokai Watch, Stella Glow, Legend of Legacy, Steamworld Heist, & Super Mystery Dungeon but now my most anticipated 3DS game by far (although not confirmed for the US yet but come on) is Shin Megami Tensei IV Final. I'm soooo excited for that!

This looks good! Been waiting a while for it.

It's just more based on Persona which is an amazing series btw. This game also will probably be rated M so you can expect some "SMT Darkness" plenty. The Persona games have that so yeah.

However I do think the female characters are a bit too sexualized perhaps.

Looks great. Wish people weren't so over-the-top about this E3

I can't say I didn't see this coming. It's not like Nintendo to have a game as big as this have this much unexplained/unknown the same year it's supposedly releasing. It's not a big disappointment to me and it is launching on the series' 30th anniversary so that's cool.

The problem of course though is the Wii U's games drought. Nintendo needs great games and it needs them now. Yes the Wii U has plenty of great game, but there just aren't any releasing in the next few months.

Aww, I had been excited for this game when it was first announced way back. Although news has been almost non-existent, it remained faintly in the back of my head...oh well.

I want this for my 3DS so much!

This looks great! I'll definitely get this for 3ds!

I'm going to definitely get a PHYSICAL copy for my 3DS. I'm still debating on Romance Dawn, but this isn't even a question.

@R-Moss

One Piece and Conan aren't childish! Well maybe a little....but don't equate childish = stupid. One Piece is amazing, and I have quite a few friends who are Conan fans.

Sounds pretty cool, hope it comes over here.

Concept sounds familiar...heheh.
Still, I first heard of this game long before I was even into One Piece, back in 2011, so I'm still kind of anticipating this game...if it's good.

Very disappointing, I was looking forward to this...I wish I could buy this to support bringing One Piece games over, but...no...I won't buy it.

Interesting.,.

I think the graphics look beautiful. 3D Mario in HD, wonderful.

Geeze.

These look great!

I really don't care about the battery life, it's fine.

Eeyup.

@Nekketsu3D
Here here!

Wow...

I'll check it out.
But @Retro_on_theGo is right.

It really does look great.

Damn, wish Azran Legacies would release at the same time here in America...

I still need to play this...

Nice.

Looks nice.

Pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease....
