If you don't get why anyone would watch eSports just think if you watch anything at all that you did not do yourself. If the answer is yes you shoudl understand. It is entertainment. If you don't enjoy it that does not mean someone else might not enjoy it. Sad to see gamers thinking that this is silly. We are supposed to be the ones that push our hobby forward.
It is a shame that this game does not work with every first party amiibo. It would have been so cool if there would have been levels for Splatoon or Star Fox or Kirby.
Most people will give it a trial run today and the next few days. Will be interesting to see how it will hold up. It is no game even tho it got a super boring minigame.
@Action51 Sticker Star removed pretty much everything that made Paper Mario great. Great Story Companions Level System A battle system that made fights worthwhile (in SS it was better to avoid all fights). Creative characters that were replaced by the same looking Toads.
@World Well they confirmed 3DS on twitter. Strange they did not say that in the direct.
Well overall the information we got concerning the VC games was much more interesting. Pokémon Bank is a nice addition. And from other news we know that in Yellow you can go and use the surf minigame without having a pikachu that can use surf.
I would have loved to see some artwork for the new starters tho.
This is a little too expensive for my taste but i will get the Yellow version anyway. And yes i do understand that i am part of the problem because of it. At least the Yellow version got colors ^^
If getting offended is the worst that can happen then by all means do not change anything.
Some jokes, play on words and other similer stuff will have to get changed because otherwise they will not work in a different language or even country because some references will just not be known.
But content should be off limits unless you add content.
Everytime they get to the point where they want to know my occupation or how much money i earn i just stop these. I actully tried to give good feedback but that is something i will never tell them.
Well i had to use adblock to remove certain non ad elements from the website to make it useable again. When i opened the website 99% (everything but the link to the forums) of what i saw was useless to me and i had to scroll down to get to the stuff i find interesting. Now that i managed to fixed that the new design is much more bareable.
I still don't like games being changed for whatever reason while in localisation (with the exception of stuff that is prohibited by law).
If the devs made the game one way it should be the same game in every region. No matter if possible changes are positive or negative.
Honestly i think they should have stuck to max evolved fighting Pokémons only. That would ave been 27 (+4 four legged) fighters.
10 pure fighting, 3 f/psychic, 1 (+1) f/steel, 2 f/dark, 1 f/flying, 1 (+1) f/water, 1 f/bug, 3 f/fire, 2 (+1) f/grass, 2 f/normal, 1 f/poison, 0 (+1) f/rock
Oh cmon Nintendo Life. The only ranking that was limited by the realizable charcters caviat was the Top 1 around the world. Top 1 in Europe and Top 5 US were not limited by that fact.
The funny thing is you can do this in so many west RPGs. Age Ratings got nothing to do with this. This is purely a cut because Nintendo does not want it in the game in the west. I gues they are too afraid of third wave feminists.
@Mijzelffan But my problem is i do not see the sexualised context. Bikinis are sexualised way too much imho. As long as there is no sexy posing or something similar it normal. I find that outfit highly unpractical. I would not play with it. Just like i do not play with bikini costumes in DoA. I just do not think they fit the games. I just hate the fact that Nintendo is self censoring.
@Mijzelffan When did a bikini on 13 yo in a non sexulized context became child porn? You telling me i can't go to the beach anymore because i would see child porn every couple of minutes? Or any parents that got some beach pictures of their children on their PC are collection child porn now?
Is this costume needed in the game? No it is not. Was it added to the game? Yes it was? Was it self censored by BigN? Yes it was. Is censorchip bad? Yes it is.
Once again it is self censorship because they are afraid of the current climate in the US. But after the censorship in Fatal Frame this is no surprise.
Ever since the cuts in Resident Evil 4 in the german version i am no longer buying games that get censored in any shape or form. I was so p****** that they cut out multiple gameplay modes. And i know living in Germany makes it extra hard on me. So i had to pass on this if i still had my WiiU connected to a screen.
Edit: And the body proportions look way off in the western version. Like they tried to make her smaller by cutting off parts of her legs.
@Xenocity I see no country in the EU right now where this app will be a huge success. The only reason this could get some traction is because it is done by Nintendo.
And can we please all stop calling this a game? This is not a game.

Re: Miitomo Trends on Twitter as Nintendo's Charm Strikes Again

It is no game even tho it got a super boring minigame.
Re: Poll: Which Is The Best Mario Spin-Off Series or Game?
This was not hard at all. Mario Kart wins it for me.
Re: Paper Mario Colour Splash Coming to Wii U
@Action51 Sticker Star removed pretty much everything that made Paper Mario great.
Great Story
Companions
Level System
A battle system that made fights worthwhile (in SS it was better to avoid all fights).
Creative characters that were replaced by the same looking Toads.
Re: Paper Mario Colour Splash Coming to Wii U
What a disappointment... Sticker Star 2... sigh.

Did they even mention 3DS when talking about Sun and Moon?
Re: Ori and the Blind Forest Director Criticises Secrecy and Lack of Access to NX Devkits
The problem is that Nintendo needs the big ones.
If they can't get the big ones on board the little ones do not matter at all.
Re: Nintendo Targets and Blocks Mario Kart Hack Videos From YouTube
Nintendo showcasing again that they have no idea how to handle the internet.

@Sockymon They don't have any online fuctionality. Just local WiFi for trading and fighting. No connectivity to older Pokémon games.

@6ch6ris6 And what is even more entertaining is that hardly anyone in germany uses that word outside of the medical realm.

Sry i dislike the design. Will make me check out the site way less.
Re: Nintendo Further Explains Fire Emblem Fates Localisation, With Same-Sex Marriages In Each Version

Re: Review: Slice It! (3DS eShop)
Oh i played that game years ago on my smartphone. It was a really good game.
Re: Chandelure Will Be the Next Pokkén Tournament Fighter
Honestly i think they should have stuck to max evolved fighting Pokémons only. That would ave been 27 (+4 four legged) fighters.

This is just way too all over the place for me.
Re: Nintendo Launches an Official Tumblr Page
I hope they can manage to stay 100% PC ... otherwise they will get harrassed by people that are fighting harrassment ^^

Re: Game of the Year: Nintendo Life's Reader Awards 2015

Picked Pokémon Picross there.
Re: Game of the Year: Nintendo Life's Staff Awards 2015
Are some of you really complaining that the taste in video games of the staff is not the same as yours?
Re: Bayonetta Confirmed as New Challenger in Super Smash Bros.

Re: Nintendo Download: 17th December (Europe)
Hmm i might pick up Street Fighter for the 3DS.
Would not mind having a second fighting game beside DOA.
Re: Art: Here's Another Western Take On The Legend Of Zelda's Link

Re: Editorial: Linkle May be a Clunky Introduction For a 'Female Link', But Opens Up Interesting Possibilities
Can't we accept her as her own character instead of forcing her to be a female Link?
Re: You Can't Alter The Chest Size Of Female Characters In The Western Version Of Xenoblade Chronicles X
The funny thing is you can do this in so many west RPGs.
Age Ratings got nothing to do with this.
This is purely a cut because Nintendo does not want it in the game in the west. I gues they are too afraid of third wave feminists.
Re: Nintendo Badge Arcade is Out Now in North America
This should have been a a free 3DS update that gave the play coins some much needed use. Instead they made it a freemium game. What a shame.
That bunny character has to be one of the most unique characters they have created in a while. Its pretty awesome.
And i have to agree on this game being a pure gabling game. It should have an age rating of 18+.
Re: Nintendo's Latest Hanafuda Deck Is Perhaps Its Most Eye-Catching Yet
Yeah Hanafude is pretty easy. Just the scoring is a little bit harder.
Re: Nintendo Is Making Female Characters Cover Up For The Western Version Of Xenoblade Chronicles X
