Re: Club Nintendo Rewards Updated for January

Sam_Loser2

Already have F-Zero from the 30 cent promotion; got snowboarding from the last club nintendo offer and have game and watch gallery 4 (which, at $5 used most places I've seen, is a steal and makes all these game and watch's deal a joke in comparison). I have a few coins to burn not having much selection recently, so I think I'll spring for Spin Six.

Re: Review: Pokémon X & Y (3DS)

@XxGame_LoverXx Well in addition to the gen 5 starters you'll get your pick of gen 1 pokemon starters as well. I don't know which game, if either, or both, will have pikachu. Whatever old pokemon they have will be split evenly between the two games, X may have vulpix while Y may have growlithe. We just have to wait and see when they come out.

@XxGame_LoverXx It's a matter of preference. Which guy do you like better on the box? That's the legendary you'll be getting. A couple other exclusives, including charizard and and mewtwo's different mega evolutions, are all that are different. Look at the pokemon each version has and decide what appeals to you.

Re: You'll Have to Wait Until December to Get a Pokémon Bank Account

@stillwinds They haven't confirmed it either. The way they announced it and they way everyone's reacting to it, (Like all the Pokemon Youtubers I watch) it's like they weren't expecting it to happen, even though it was in the past couple generations. I hope you're right, but you'd think they'd mention it.

I'll probably end up using this regardless, but I really don't want to rely on a cloud service to transfer Pokemon. I already have to wait a few months to use it, and if it's ever discontinued for some reason the link between gens 5 and 6 is gone. I am keeping my DS phat around for the sole purpose of transferring between gens 3 and 4.

Re: Junichi Masuda Confirms That the Pokémon X & Y Overworld is 2D Only

Sam_Loser2

@cookiex It's not pointless. Calling 3D pointless is like calling HD visuals pointless. They both add an element to the graphics that enhances them. The 3D in Ocarina of Time was done so well for me that I eventually stopped noticing it, but when I turned it off everything was just so.... flat. It fulfilled it's ultimate purpose: pulling me into the game. If it's not your cup of tea that's what the slider is for. Just don't ruin it for those who enjoy it.

Re: Junichi Masuda Confirms That the Pokémon X & Y Overworld is 2D Only

This makes me really sad. A lot of reveals have sparked some rage from me but this just makes me sad....

The battles are where it matter more, though I'm still very disappointed. To make up for this they better be freaking AMAZING. Pilotwings, OoT 3D, Dillon's Rolling Western, they all had 3D that blew me away. At least give me that in the battles, not some shallow 3D like Animal Crossing's or Resident Evil's. (Maybe I'm seeing it different, but those games didn't impress me in the 3D area).

Re: Soapbox: Why Grand Theft Auto V Isn't For Me

Sam_Loser2

At 21 I've played a bit of GTA and even enjoyed it a fair amount, especially the DS iteration. However I definitely agree with your inhibitions of the games. The limited power of the DS didn't give as many opportunities for truly egregious acts, which may be part of the reason I enjoyed that entry the most, but I still felt like I had to turn my moral compass off at several points in the game.

Re: Poké Transporter Confirmed for X & Y

Sam_Loser2

@BlatantlyHeroic You still need to connect using DS settings. So even though my 3DS connects to the internet, I can't connect my DS games even on my 3DS. A good part of my X & Y excitement is that I can FINALLY use some of these online features we've gotten the past few generations.

Re: Poké Transporter Confirmed for X & Y

Sam_Loser2

These severs will not last forever, and I don't want to rely on an internet connection to send all my hard work to the next generation. 1->2; 3->4, 4->5 all did it fine without needing to use an external service, just the games, and I can't connect my DS to the internet, will that screw me over?

Re: C-Wars

Sam_Loser2

That description is miniscule and yet intriguing.... I'm paying attention, if anyone's going to bother to say anything.

Re: Round Table: Let's Talk About the 2DS and Wii U Price Cut

Sam_Loser2

The only issue I have is that I don't want developers to neglect good 3D implementation because a select of users won't even have the option now. Only a few games have had good use of it in my opinion so far anyway, and I want more games with good 3D like that. (Zelda 3D, Nano Assault, Pilotwings, Dillon's Rolling Western have all had amazing 3D. I'm praying Pokemon will have 3D as good as those.)

Re: Nintendo Has "Nothing To Announce" Regarding Mother 3 Localisation

Sam_Loser2

@tanookisuit Ethical gray areas granted, I don't think you can consider the translation to Mother 3 a "soldier and hack ghetto job". It's an amazing well done localization. And while I would like nothing more than to have the game in pure GBA cartridge form, if it's not in English I'm losing 70% of what I want the game for.
