Excellent article. You just nailed it man.

This is one of the reasons I prefer Japanese games over western games. They keep the joy and sense of doing something good like saving the world, good winning over evil, saving the princess, etc. wereas western develop games like the drama, shock value, etc,,, "you die,,, your character fails at the end,,,, the main character has 2or 3 terrible choices (I am looking at you Mass Effect 3)"... plus Japanese games have the best music and characters overall.

Don't get me wrong, I do play some western developed games, like Mass Effect, or GTA, but they kinda lack that joy of doing something right (except the first 2 Mass Effect games which keep it simple... SPOILER ALERT......... You win, you save the day......END OF SPOILERS) and I am starting to get tired of them.

Western developers need to relax and remember,,,,, these are GAMES..... Not movies,,,, not TV shows... You are participating by controlling a character,,,,,,, winning, living and saving the day should be the first option in a game (AKA Best ending).

@Rei
Well the opening is the song (with lyrics), hence, just like the original version.
As for special mode, there is an SP advance mode for purchase that makes enemies harder and you get more CP and gold, which seems to be an easier version of a mode that you can unlock after beating the game

Also there are challenge stages which I have yet to try

Finally for items, they seem to increase multiple stats (almost all of them) by percentage instead of a fixed amount, but so far (I am in chapter 4) I don't think you really need to buy them. Anything the Doctor sells should be sufficient without resorting to DLC

@Discipledoctor Kinda early to tell (I am in Chapter 4), but he and Maya bring some funny dialogue.

Plus, as a "solo unit", he has block break + a "stun counter" skill which is awesome, especially if the "Pursuit-Cornered" Theme kicks in and you have a boss in front of you with a high block bar

Metroid (it's about time). With Other M / Team Ninja character models. Less dialoguee

Kid Icarus. Bayonetta ish style, with regulra controls

Wave Race. Bring back the weather effects of Blue Storm and for god's sake, and option to remove the thingys you have to pass left or right. Maybe as an e-shop release

Not my type of game but got to admit that the costumes look pretty good.

There really needs to be a Saints Row game for the NX with Nintendo costumes

@RinkuGaming nope

all of them are gone

@Dmshk Code sent

Enjoy

One left

I send one to MattEriks

@keynote EU our US??

I got two EU codes

YEEEAAH
However the next thing that needs to happen is Nintendo Vs Capcom Vs Bandai Namco vs Sega.

Come on Capcom, Marvel is probably not coming back to anything outside Infinity so why not make an All Star Japanese Vs fighting game.

Looks cool

I hope these bundles comes to US and Europe.

The only weird/bad thing is that the CD only has 6 tracks

If Samus and Zero Suit Samus amiibo are supported, insta buy day one

I am sold..... Oooh wait, it's free

Anyway, I was hoping that they would announce more characters (and maybe give us a sneek peak that will confirm if KOS-MOS is in the game or not)

@Aromaiden it's more of a FPA (First person adventure)

FPS have some specific gameplay elements like, different weapons, attachments, grenades, duck behind cover, sprinting, etc.

It would have been cool if the IPs stayed with Nintendo. I loved Perfect Dark, and would have loved to have Joanna Dark as a Smash Sister. Nintendo kinda needs an FPS of their own, that is not either a military shooter or a post apocalyptic thing, and future sci-fy spy stuff is a cool setting for an FPS

Banjo was awesome as well but Nintendo already has platformers

Battletoads could have filled the beat them up genre for Nintendo

And finally Jet Force Gemini the TPS genre (now done by Splatoon)

This is in my opinion the best Harvest Moon game ever.

Needs a remake, because I think that the way the game controls hasn't aged well (I still have it on GBA). A 3DS remake would be nice (more buttons, and a touch screen for inventory management)

Still looks like a chicken to me

Looking at the games list made me realise that Red is the signature color for the 3DS and Blue is the Wii U color.

Needs more females. Gonna miss Estelle

I got Palutena and Zero Suit Samus yesterday and the day before at retail.

Edit: the only missing from my mains in Smash is Lucina

Looks like my dream of the "amiibo game" like Infinity/Landmark/skylanders might come true. I really wanna create 3D levels with Nintendo franchise templates and models and play as my favorite characters (Samus, Lucina, Robin, Marth, Roy, Ike, Link, etc) and level up characters and stuff.

I was very disappointed by no new Metroid sequel, but after it was confirmed that it was moved to NX, I was relieved. That being said, I am kinda surprised that there are no news of Project Tresure

Looks interesting

I wonder if these characters are pre-set or if you can create your own custom character, like Saints Row 3

Also, how is the gunplay?.I wonder how the 2 types of combat are going to balance out. This trailer focuses mostly on melee combat

I hope it's released before the end of the year, or maybe around E3

Maybe he will take a new position at DeNA, in order to make sure that Nintendo's mobile game division releases quality content.

Basically meaning that he works "for" Nintendo and not "at" Nintendo

1) Bayonetta
2) Shantae
3) Ryu Hayabusa
4) Gunvolt
5) Avatar (Fire Emblem If)
6) Micaiah
7) Nabooru
8) Krystal
9) Impa
10) Henry Fleming

I voted:

1) Cereza/Bayonetta
2) Impa
3) Avatar (new Fire Emblem)
4) Nabooru
5) Henry Fleming

Plain and simple.

Japanese games: fantasy, sexy girls, martial arts, weird cat stuff, killing evil fantasy monsters = Tokyo's the safest city on earth (according to some recent studies and articles)

Western games: violence, explosions, guns, guns and more guns, multiplayer games where the objective is just to kill lots of enemies = shooting in schools, cinemas, gang violence.

I stick with option 1

I wanna see how the Fire Emblem new 3DS XL will look too see if I should wait or just pre-order the Monster Hunter new 3DS XL.

I hope Nintendo announces the Fire Emblem bundle soon with a release date

No big deal.

Just get some of the magic milk that gives you infinite magic and problem solve (although completing that quest might take a while)

-Another Code R / Trace Memory R
-The Last Story
-Metroid Other M
-Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn
-The Conduit

I am happy they are selling well.

I can also see another article or talking point coming up: "are amiibos the new Wii?", "Nintendo's secret weapon: amiibos" by Damien McFerran

Looking forward on reading it

Twitter???

Why not do what Smash did and post it on miiverse?

I said before and I'll keep saying it.

Minecraft/landmark/infinty hybrid but with nintendo characters and items and stuff with each amiibo unlocking both characters and their set pieces (ex: Samus unlocks her in the game and give you Metroid themes like computers, elevators, stell walls, etc. Link unlocks his character plus ancien walls, floors, treasure chest, etc.)

@ultraraichu
Can't wait for "Dual Pistols" Zero Suit Samus

Been tempted to buy Fantasy Life for a while. Now that I know the date I can wait and buy this one instead. Seems more interesting since I have already played previous Harvest moon games and they are usually quite complex and fun

I have never liked when a developer announces something without a trailer nor screenshots.

I hope this is not true since I am a Fire Emblen fan and I have never played a Shin Megami Tensei game before

Well since Ubisoft are the makers of Far Cry, how difficult can it be to use that engine to do an open world Zombi game?

@ThomasBW84
Then perharps it should be tagged as "Rumor".

Personally I think that a ZombiU 2 would be awesome. They have a lot to improve though.

Maybe more open world lile Dead Island

I wanna have Zero Suit Samus, Zero mission/ fusion ending version

WatchDogs at that price?. It's already cheaper in other consoles.

It should have been discounted. I'll wait just like I did with Assasin's Creed

At launch Samus

Later, Zero Suit Samus and Lucina

Maybe later will get Palutena and Link

Well I think that a big part of Smash is aerial movement and since Little Mac has a weak aerial game, it probably makes him lose more.

@Varoennauraa @mastermp2

Update: I misread.

I though the Wii U could only support up to 2 USB connections at once.

So i should be able to use the adaptor for 4 player gamecube controller but not for 8 (since 2 USB will be used for my hard drive)

Fine with me since I don't think i'll ever have 8 people at my place at once

Too bad. I am kinda dissapointed since my hard drive uses the two USB on the back of the console and I was hoping to use the 2 USB on the front for the adapter

Not to sound like a broken record but, the only thing I want from amiibo is a Landmark/minecraft/infinity type game that uses amiibo. I wanna built a Space station with Metroids or a Hyrule castle but some Fire Emblem elements mixed in. And then be able to use my favorite nintendo characters to explore and jump or fly around this world I created

Nintendo needs to do a Minecraft/ landmark/ disney infinity hybrid with Nintendo characters. That could sell a lot of amiibos. I would definitely buy that game (never liked the graphics or artstyle of Minecraft but I am interested in Landmark)

Also, Konami needs to do a YuGiOh NFC game for Wii U and market it with a new YuGiOh show on Nickelodeon (or 4Kids or wherever it is. I am sorry but I am not familiar with the franchise)

Good direct, but needed that Metroid announcement we are waiting for. Also, no news on Zelda U nor Mario Maker?

1) Fire Emblen Warriors (like hyrule warriors but with full voice acting with Laura Bailey as Lucina, Matthew Mercer as Chrom)
2) Metroid: Hunted (Samus a bounty hunter on the run from the galactic federation after her last stunt in Metroid 4 aka Fusion). A Mass Effect like game (without the romance) but with Metroidvania elements
3) Metroid hunters (a Destiny type of game but with better story a Metroidvania elements)
4) Nintendo Landmark (like Landmark but with Nintendo theme worlds. Amiibo fully supported
5) Nintendo Detective famicom club (like Phoenix Wright but new elements and the NES game characters)
6) Duck-hunt dog (yes there is a -. A Banjo Kazooie type of game)

I would prefer something more like Landmark but with Nintendo themes and amiibo support like Disney infinity and stuff. Imagine creating your own mushroom kingdom, or your own Space station or Zebes or Corneria. The possibilities are endless

I am just wondering about next year, since 3rd party support seems almost dead for next year (No COD, nor new Assasins creed, Platinum is busy with Scalebound, no news from Capcom)

2015:
-Splatoon (a sleeper hit or just another good game?)
-Xenoblade Chronicles X (niche market?)
-Zelda Wii U (will sell well but is it 2015?)
-Yoshi wolly world (young audience)
-Mario Maker (budget title, maybe only digital?. May become a big thing with amiibo. Can you imagine Metroid theme stages?)
-Sonic Boom (previews do not look good for this game)

Total 6 "big" games

Unknow/unconfirmed
-Fire Emblem x Shin Megami Tensei (no info just a teaser since 2012)
-Metroid 6(Surprise announcement)
-Starfox (official announcement, but is it 2015?)

Total 9 games for 2015 (with little 3rd party support)

I just hope that there are some surprise announcements
