Gah... I want it. But $30 for a plastic bracelet that only lights up? AND I still have to purchase the rest of the crystals? What a rip off-- GAAAAaaaAAAAaaHHHHhhh but I want it!!!
It seems somewhat disingenuous to me that Nintendo gets so much attention, but it's not as though they're the ones spreading the false narrative. Nintendo is unfairly blamed/praised all the time, so what else is new?
I really liked this game, thought it a huge improvement over the first one, and... something about it was better than the third. I got bored of the third.
Link started as a blank slate, but I really think he isn't anymore. Games like OOT, TP, and SS gave him some personalaity through his interactions with other characters and facial expressions. GLaD they didn't change him.
It's just not a fun app. It really isn't. It's a shallow tool for social interaction with one mini-game that isn't very engaging. The only reason I used it, and the only reason I'll ever use it, is to get platinum coins. I havn't even done that recently. It just become a chore to get my free coins and now it's not even worth it.
I'm pretty happy with my 3DS still, and don't really want to see it go just yet. I certainly play it more than my Wii U, though that is in part due to the lack of games. Losing focus on the Wii U because it's not preforming is kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy.
I have absolutely zero in either optimism and pessimism. I'll just be enjoying my backlog as I wait for Nintendo to eventually give me my ticket for the hype train.
The selling point on Amiibo was the multiple game uses for me, and the support for that is minor at best.
Still have collection the entire Smash series (save for the three yet to be released), but I doubt I'll be able to muster up any interest beyond those figures.
One of my favorite games, Game and Watch Gallary 4! Still have the GBA cart, so no need to download it. (Still cheaper to buy a used copy than to download it, oddly enough)
10?!?! That's enough for the starters and an evolution-less region rodent. Whew. At least we got the basics down, that's a relief. Now we just have to slap Solrock and Lunatone on the covers and call it a game.
Seeing as this is best played after one or both of the others, I wish it was the hardest path go the three, since going from Conquest to this is a step down. Also makes sense that story wise, that if you aren't choosing a side you have to drag yourself along with whatever bunch of rag-tag gang of misfits you can cobble together.
Also this is the "obvious choice" if it were just a choice in-universe and not also a gameplay choice. This is the compromise where you don't have to pick a side and help everyone get along. So if you want that happy end for all you better earn it with punishing difficulty!
An Amiibo focused game would be nice. I do think the software integration has been lacking in most games. I was interested that Super Mario Maker supported most Amiibo, then disappointed when they only unlocked costumes.
Comparing that to Code Name S.T.E.A.M., I think it did a pretty good job of using Amiibo, adding whole new characters to the game. Having the Amiibo gave a definite benefit without detracting from the game.
More Fire Emblem? I thought I was tired of it, but I'm actually pretty okay with this.
Not that I've played the game yet, but it just feels as though there would be more interesting character in the game than the blank slate personification.
I understand that pledging on Kickstarter is an investment and not a purchase, so there is obviously risk involved; that's what it takes to make anything worthwhile.
But they KNEW it wasn't going to be enough? That is utterly deceitful. I cannot believe they thought it would turn out any differently than it has; securing more funding or investors now will be ever the harder now they've ruined the trust of their current backers.
This was exactly what I thought, and hope the NX takes its time. The Wii U and 3DS still have some life them and should keep going for a few years if you ask me.
I am very excited for Fates as another installment of my favorite game series on the planet, but I can't help but feel the people petting has tainted it with some really weird creepiness.

I don't know, ask the Egyptians. Or cats.

It's pretty cool, though I wish I could have used the ridiculous amount of non-Mario amiibo at my disposal as well.

Re: Nikkei Report Suggests That Wii U Production Will End in 2016
Way too early. I'd feel very cheated by my Wii U purchase if they kicked it to the curb in addtion to the slow amount of releases to the Wii U.
Re: Zero Time Dilemma Launches on 28th June in North America and Europe

So GLaD a physical release is heading to NA as well, allowing my to have the entire trilogy in my collection.

Super Mario Bros. is the spin off.

The fact that Fire Emblem and Double Dragon III: The Sacred Stone released the same week is hilarious.
Re: Video: Watch The Epic Pokémon Super Bowl Commercial Right Here
Cool commercial. One of those odd ones that advertises nothing really, just saying "Hey, look at how awesome our brand is!"
And yes, your brand is awesome indeed Pokemon.

Re: Poll: Did The Final Video Presentation for Super Smash Bros. Provide a Memorable Ending?
More excited for Corrin than Bayonetta. Looking forward to getting Fates and Corrin in the same month.
Bayonetta still looks interesting, though I have a large amount of characters I would rather see in smash her move set looks promising.
