@Williaint you know what ? Those are my thoughts exactly

Me and my buddy (XBone owner) Buddy: but Nintendo games are for kids that's why I got an Xbone). After hearing this news, Buddy:man I'm getting this for sure !! Me: what the..........

Interesting how the fighting game community including Street Fighter fans and competitive Smash players are pretty much embracing Ryu, while Nintendo fans have mixed to negative reactions. I must admit that Ryu feels out of place, but I'm definatly not disappointed that he's included ! The only thing that disappoints me is that some fools jumped at the chance to leak the info that was gonna be huge news for tomorrow's reveal oh well, will still watch and I'm still hyped

I thought this game was gonna be more like a walk in the park platformer but after watching this there is way more variety and challenges than I was expecting ! I was going to grab this day one anyway but after seeing this now I can't wait for it even more

I'm one of those downloads ! But I only tried it once and never again .... wasn't bad though just not my thing I guess

@lastaugust lol, that's almost an everyday thing for me as simply have zero time during the day for games

Was gonna back this up regardless but now that the Wii U version is considered I will be picking it up for Wii U if it holds up to the other consoles (which we won't know till its out.....). I'm having visions of the Castles map on the game pad rather than going back and forth from the game to the menus and it's enough to sell me on the Wii U version I just hope it's not watered down in anyway.....

Friday can't get here soon enough ! Splat -tat- t-t-t-t-t-t!! ..... Oh, Did I just say that out loud ?.......

And here I was thinking about securing my copy of Bloodstained by backing the project . I guess the difference here is Igarashi and his team are veterans and actually know how to program so the risk should be low ?

Well let our voices be heard. While Nintendo can be really hard headed they also want to please their fans. Fatal Frame coming west, more MK8 DLC , Smash Ballot and others are a few examples of Nintendo trying to please its users (even if it's probably more about financial reasons) While I couldn't care less for voice chat I really would like local 4 player or 2 vs online options so maybe if we keep nagging, Nintendo will add this in the future
Personally I want more music variation in Splatoon as well ! While the main track is catchy I just don't want it to burn me out lol

Hmm my wish list for 5 games unannounced ?
Metroid, Animal Crossing, PunchOut, F-Zero, Mario 64 HD remake

Bring on more MK8 DLC , Smash DLC needs a price check though... More for either game is welcome though ! More Cups and Kart's , more fighters and stages please discount bundles welcome !

Edit: oh and a true battle mode (actual battle arenas) for MK8 . That alone would add more to an already amazing experience

Still hoping for actual #InklingsforSmash so let's see , Toys R Us has $5 amiibos with preorder (if I'm not mistaking) GameStop has mii fighter suits .... Any one else doing pre order specials ? Gonna let the Splatoon direct hype die down before I decide where to preorder lol

200cc is more like 250cc lol. I actually though the only difference in each class was the A.I. getting better as the speed wasn't so noticeable. But now, it's really noticeable ! It got way more fun though that's for sure

Wonder if it's so they can focus on bringing it to mobile... If so I'd rather play on the big screen

Needs to show on prime time and during NBA playoffs , but yeah it needs to at least SHOW on TV .

As much as I like Ryu and Street Fighter (Fave fighting game) it feels odd if he'd make it in my opinion . Not sure how I feel about Roy yet though I guess he'd be ok if he were to make it in. If They are bringing 4-5 new characters they should all come from the smash ballot though if we'd wait for them to run the votes and then start developing the characters then it might be over a year before we'd get them all Anyway I hope the new characters just fit in well with the Smash Universe my picks in Smash Ballot are Inklings and either Bayonetta or Wonder Red or all !

I feel it should release on Wii U first. If it's good it'll do alright on the PS4 , Xbox One. Coming out later on Wii U only hurts it . Then the developers will blame Wii U owners for poor sales. But why would you want to wait for an inferior version (I'm guessing) when you could buy it a few months sooner if you own multiple consoles ? The Wii U version seems to be getting no love as there are no videos or pictures showing the game on the Wii U. I'd pick it up on Wii U if it was close to being as good as the other consoles as it might be intresting to see how the game pad works with this game. But I'll probably pick it up for PS4 as it'll be the safest bet at being the best version (on home consoles) I just wish theyed show anything running on Wii U ...

@rjejr thanks , and good to know ! I actually watched the direct but must have overlooked that somehow, I'll check it out again for sure though:)

I wonder if you'll be able to save stages and play them in sequence ? If there's a top rated list of created stages we could download , save, and play in an order we set up ourselves, that would be great!

@hydeks I kinda agree, while getting Nintendo IPs out where more people have access to them in more convenient ways certainly can't hurt, the best way to compete and have more games on a home console is to have a powerful enough console that can compete or surpass the competition. That means your games will look, play and run the best (PS4s advantage over everyone at the moment) and as Nintendo owner you wouldn't feel burned buy your last gen quality 3rd party games vs the superior versions on the competitions consoles. While I prefer gameplay over graphics any day, in today's envioronment it's more about power to sell consoles. It's just my humble opinion but a consoles power and its controller are more important than a gimmick to draw in 3rd parties and not limit your own first party developers to thinking they must use your gimmick touch screen. (Not that they are utilizing it much anyway) that said I feel this move could benefit Nintendo but is not that necessary. They just need competeing hardware to have the better versions of 3rd part games and Nintendos own IPs will set them apart. Ok long comment done

Haven't actually picked up Captain Toad yet was going to very soon but now I see that Toad packed in the box .... Anyone know if such a package will make it to the west ? Would I probably be wasting my time any way ? (Another sold out amiibo product)?

I've been trying to keep up with all the vids but I've only noticed Squid vs Squid in versus videos . Can we choose to be Octolings as well or only Inklings ?

I barely saw the trailer for these game last week for the first time. That's all it took to add this to my day one buy list

@JLPick ah the memories I had with Eternal Darkness I'm in the same boat as you with wanting another Eternal Darkness.

I just left the story about Ubisofts unreleased but finished Wii U game which clearly about only 2% of the people would actually even care about. Ubi can and should keep that game locked up forever .... Now THIS game is really being held hostage and absolutely needs to release in the West . I'd absolutely pick this up here's hoping it comes uncut and uncensored. I'd even settle for a subbed version

.... Ah well...

Sweet bundle ! That box art is amazing !

@RCMADIAX ha ! Awesome thanks

Does anyone else feel reaching level 50 in Smash is a little to easy ? I felt there was very little I needed to do to let the amiibo level up. I would have had more satisfaction if I actually trained the amiibo in ways rather than just assigning it skills. Cool nonetheless but I feel there could have been a deeper connection to my virtual pet if I actually spent time showing it things somehow as opposed to assigning it skills and just throwing it in battles to watch it levelup on its own. Sky's the limit for amiibo though it's just how Nintendo wants to utilize them in games that'll make or break amiibo inthe long run.

Um... A little late to the party . Any more of that popcorn left?

@Captain_Gonru ha you're right about that! That must be why Splatoon has me pumped as well. It's about escaping the real world as opposed to simulating it that has made Splatoon a 10 on my hype meter

Edit: then again that's what Nintendo gaming has always been about

@rjejr yeah that's me as well, online multiplayer shooters just hasn't been my thing lately but Splatoon has me so excited

Can't freakin wait for this ! It's the breath of fresh air this genre needs IMO . I know the millions who bought COD will disagree but the shooter genre is so stale ... Maybe I just burned myself out though. While this is technically not "first person shooter" it still brings something unique to the whole shooter experience! Hope the online play is solid as it'll be fun to see all the customized characters and setups for Splatoon

Yeah, as cool as these are, just don't buy from the scalpers and the joke will be on them. They thought they made money but if the consoles just sit they'll have to come down in price.

Just something I'd like to see to promote Splatoon, but wouldn't it be cool if the released a free DLC character for Smash Bros or Mario Kart based of a character from Splatoon ? Especially for Smash Bros I feel they could fit in nicely a start giving fans a connection to Splatoon or an idea of what the character could be capable of. Perhaps do like the villager where it's one character slot but choosing a diffrent color provides different skins of characters in Splatoon. Just thinking out loud but everytime I see that squid girl I think "that would be a cool character in Smash"

@Platypus101 agreed ! I think I'll buy every title on this list ! Affordable space adventures is the only one I'm not sure if or have really heard of ....

Looks fun but don't know how long it will be fun I'll still probably get this

Dang id love this to return

Edit: I'd like a Bayonetta type package except with the first game getting remastered , but I'll buy each one seperate if they released a remaster and the next entry in the series !

I hope they realize power is important... It allows 3rd party games to be fully realized as opposed to stripped down versions... That said Nintendo needs to do what it needs for their own games too. A powerful console that played Zelda and Mario without any limitations as well as third part games on par with the competition sounds sublime;) that would be my perfect Nintendo console

@Kirby_Fan_DL3 I main Pikachu on Smash Bros that's why I was intrested in this

@scottp999 That's good to know ! I have trusted Hori in the past so I'm not really doubting this controller , I just want something pretty soon may hold out for this though still ...

@Kirby_Fan_DL3 yeah I've had my far share of bad controllers especially during the N64 days , Hori is pretty respectable as a fight stick maker though I'm not sure if that'll be the case here. May pick up the Pro regardless cuz March is a ways off and I kinda want something now

@Kirby_Fan_DL3
Ah nice ! Thanks ! At the moment I'm using the classic controller on mario kart while my wife uses the touch screen gamepad . This GameCube-ish controller would be a nice upgrade and cheaper than the pro controller

Hope this question is not tooooooo dumb but, I know the game cube controller adapters just work on smash but do these Hori ones work on all games ?

The more I see, the more I want this game ... So unique !

Yeah I'm not really interested in this but those comments at the beginning don't seem like it's from a developer doing it to gain fans ...

Considering the games that beat Smash were being sold across 4 consoles vs just 2 (Wii U most definatly selling the bulk of it) Smash's performance is pretty impressive. I wonder where Pokemon would have placed if both games sales were combined . Considering Pokemon sold on just 3DS and looking at the games on this list , its a pretty good performance as well
