I want Toad and Mario from the Super Mario Collection. I want to use the Toad in Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker. Also Splatoon Inkling Girl would be nice. Not that I'm in the UK, but still...
The webshop I order my amiibo from had restock this week as well. Not only the new wave, but also some of the older ones (such as Marth) were restocked. Although you have to act fast, the new wave was sold out in an hour. I was lucky... They arrive tomorrow, I'm hyped ^^
Well, I find his answers to be fair enough. Then again, I'm not a raging behind about anything that I do not like. Some people need to mature asap. I said it before and I will again, Nintendo makes great games and they decide themselves what they do and develop, not the fans or the gamers. Sometimes it is nice to try out something new instead of repeating history. As long as they are in legal bounds, it is all a market thing. If you're furious about a release then do not buy it. But for the love of everything that I adore, calm down... Maybe I am just an elderly person, but please get off my lawn.
@rjejr You might have a point there. I don't know how Splatfest works yet, but they might have assumed approximately a 50/50 split. If the actual split turns out to be 80/20 for instance, you might get some situations in which there are no opponents to battle against for 60% of the people, resulting in what they described. But that's just a hypothesis.
I personally don't really care that they postponed it. I don't have time to play this weekend anyway. Also, are the Splatfests the same for Europe or will there be separate ones? In which case I would have preferred it if they made it global like the other modes.
There are some games that I am really looking forward to.
I feel people got their hopes up way too high, almost expecting something unreasonable. It is just a conference where game developers can show some games THEY would like to show. It is not a magical event were fans are in charge.
Well, even though people are incredibly negative about them, I really loved almost all of these games. However, I agree Nintendo maybe should have shown other content in the digital event.
Well, I actually liked it. It was a bit underwhelming, but there are a lot of games released at the end of this year that I would really like. I'll be entertained.
Must ... buy ... all ...
I just can't resist the cuteness... I think I'll actually gift that New 3DS limited edition or cover plates to a friend of mine. I've been wanting to gift him a New 3DS so this will be sweet as he loves Animal Crossing.
Collecting all these cards will be expensive as something though...
I must have it... Hopefully they will release it in the western markets.
I adore these white consoles, I actually didn't buy a New 3DS XL yet because of the missing white color
"It's a reality of the modern world that when all is going smoothly little praise is given, but the tables can turn when things go wrong."
This is so incredibly true for all kinds of software. People forget how much work goes into developing decent software in general. As a software developer I see this quite often. I mean, it's not like Nintendo intended to run into these kinds of problems yesterday.
I love the white Nintendo consoles. They are so pretty. I actually waited before buying a Wii U until there was a white premium model. In the end I got the Wii Party U Bundle, which was a great deal imho. I really, really love it. You're gonna need an external hard drive after your first large downloaded game anyway. The white is just so soothing. I even had to import white Wii U Pro Controllers from the US because those are not sold here (even though Nintendo had them at an event stand, so I bitched about it there) ... Totally worth it though
(Btw: It was cheaper to import two of them from the US including shipping and taxes than to buy them here retail.)
Well, if you think about it... Nintendo could just make a service where you can select a Mii in Mii Maker or in Super Smash Bros. and upload it and purchase an amiibo of it through the eShop. Nintendo could just get high quality 3D printers or hire an external company and start producing these things on a larger scale? Maybe it isn't even necessary to use 3D printers as the parts you use for your Mii are limited so they could just produce these and glue them together? I don't know, just some thoughts I had about the feasibility...
It seems possible, although perhaps a bit too much effort? Although I must say I would personally love an amiibo of my Mii.
I like the virtual console release. It is just an emulation so you can expect certain limitations.
What I do wonder is whether Nintendo implemented the emulation of the wireless communication of the DS. After all, you can still try to connect to Nintendo WFC. It might still try to connect to the now-offline servers, although that might be farfetch'd. I guess I could try to capture the network activity, but I can't be bothered to be honest.
Mario Kart 8 is much more entertaining if you ask me. Even though it lacks the extras like missions.
I'm sorry, but I don't have these problems... :/
I have all amiibos so far. I just order them online from the same store and I get them without hassle.
Omg, I did almost the same about 3 years ago I allowed trading with yourself and injecting a new attack on the received Pokémon.
Roughly the same time as I wrote a Game Boy Printer library for Arduino. It's fun material.
@Ralek85 The head tracking works by illuminating you with an (invisible) infrared LED to the right of the camera. For that reason I think it will work in the dark rather fine.
What I do wonder is if the battery life suffers from the camera being used all the time.
Holy mother, 243 QR Codes to scan?
I certainly hope they allow sharing through Miiverse in the 3DS version for the sanity of the people that use Petit Computer
@BLPs Well, that's what they were going for with that trainer class if you ask me, so they did a good job in your case, haha. So I can imagine your feelings toward those "demonic creepy bug eyed abominations" We should have a chat conversation about this sometime ..
That said, I really liked this functionality in the original games so I'm looking forward to it. I'm just a sucker for customizability in the Pokémon games.
@BLPs
I love your word choice, haha. I agree with you on that.
But honestly, you could compare anything to heroin if you follow their logic.
Did you hear? Mayonnaise is addictive because 3 people ate too much of it. Sex is addictive because testosterone levels increase in the brain. Imagine combining those two, good heavens, an orgasm for crappy newspapers.
Ugh, I agree that it's a pity that they don't have such a thing in Europe... I think I'll have to throw my cutest face at a friend of mine in the US...
Well here's two of my EU codes for who wants:
A04RN2RG0D9K7UD3
A04RNGDS09MEY888
First-come, first-serve in this case, sorry about that.
A thanks will be appreciated!
I can understand their standpoint, but I just want to be able to buy an extra/spare Gamepad without having to buy the complete Wii U... So I agree with @Drac_Mazoku on that...
