So, if the penalty is just losing money, than what's keeping someone from spending it all beforehand and then rage-quitting all they want? Seems there's a simple enough way around this.
@Syrek24 I'm not arguing about the petting mini-game. One of my biggest problems with the game is how it was butchered into two (or three) and sold as full games. It is NOT a complete game. And yet people buy it. How exactly is it not incomplete?
Also, you seem unrealistically angry with me. What, did I murder your loved one or something?
@Syrek24 Resorting to name-calling right off the bat, huh? How kind of you.
Anyways, do you deny the Nintendo brand doesn't sell? As long as it's Nintendo and advertised properly, like this game was, it will sell regardless of quality.
There's no point in me getting this, since I have the anniversary collection for the GameCube. It comes with Megaman 1-8, along with two Megaman arcade games. Plus extras like concept art and remixed music.
This looks so much like Awakening it makes me sick. I see ZERO difference between this and Awakening besides that cursed Phoenix Mode. This is disgusting. Also, "For the first time in history, you can pair up units before battle." Um, this is only the second game with pair up, so saying this is the first time in history doesn't make much sense.
Was going to come here and complain about this monstrosity known as Fates, but looks like @CrazedCavalier beat me to it. Thanks for saving me some time, buddy.
Three questions: 1. Why won't Sakurai release the poll results? You can tell me all day that Bayonetta was one of the top picks, but I'm not believing it until I see the results. 2. Why only make one character from the Ballot? The ballot was going on for months and was pretty hyped up, so choosing only a single character and limiting profits doesn't make sense. 3. Where is Shadow the Hedgehog?
Not sure why people think so highly of Smash 4. The single player aspect is pretty weak, especially compared to Brawl and Melee. All the mini-games from Brawl are missing, and replaced with an Angry Birds ripoff. Event Mode wasn't as fun compared to the previous games. Classic Mode is garbage, and for some reason the Wii U version has whatever the heck Smash Tour is over Smash Run.

Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast on the GameCube is my personal favorite Star Wars game. Playing as a Jedi who wields not only some Dark Side powers, but a variety of weapons is pretty awesome. Not to mention the multiplayer, which is quite entertaining.
I find it convenient that Sakurai claims Bayonetta was the top pick in Europe and the most realizable character, yet doesn't show anyone the results of the Smash Ballot.
If Sakurai ever runs out of ideas, he could always put me in. I can use Wind, Thunder, and Fire magic, along with knives and staves. Besides, who better to team up with Ike than me?
-Shadow or Knuckles confirmed for Smash
-Some sort of Story or Adventure Mode
-New special costumes for all the fighters, like Mr. L for Luigi and Galactic Knight for Meta Knight
That's really awesome! It'd be fun to use while playing Contra, except for the control suddenly switching to each person. Imagine jumping a gap only for the next person to gain control, without them realizing it? That'd be a pain.

That was pretty funny. They definitely got the results correct too.

Sad people will eat anything up Nintendo, no matter how bad it is.
Re: Poll: Vote for Your Favourite Main Series Pokémon Games - 20th Anniversary Edition
HeartGold/SoulSilver. They were basically two games in one, plus had the Battle Frontier and your Pokemon could walk with you. What could beat that?
Re: Fire Emblem Fates Becomes Fastest Selling Release in Franchise History in the US
@AVahne The core game-play may still be there, but to me, it still doesn't feel like Fire Emblem.
@RatKing64 True, but some franchises are better left dead then carrying on as a former shell of themselves.
Re: Fire Emblem Fates Becomes Fastest Selling Release in Franchise History in the US
Does this mean all future games will be botched into multiple versions and feature pointless weaboo cr*p?
Yeah, Fire Emblem died with Awakening's release.

@Socar Why, thank you sir. @Bolt_strike sounds like a nice guy. I would love to meet him. Can you arrange that?
Re: Video: Nintendo Goes for a Dramatic Approach in Its Fire Emblem Fates Launch Trailer
Lame.
Re: Fire Emblem Developers on How the Series Can Maintain its Momentum
"Basically, the developers seem keen on continuing down the path they've started with Fire Emblem: Awakening and Fates."
Well, we're screwed.
Re: Nintendo Download: 18th February (North America)
Nothing for me this week.
Re: Review: Fire Emblem Fates (3DS)
Eh, still not a real Fire Emblem game.
Re: Shadow Mewtwo's Place in Pokémon Canon Remains Uncertain
I hope it becomes canon. Having a shadow Mewtwo in the actual Pokemon games would be great.

Re: Site News: Welcome To The Brand New Nintendo Life!
Wow, this redesign is pretty nice. It might take me a while to get used to, though.
Re: Video: Nintendo Introduces the Battle Mechanics of Fire Emblem Fates
This looks so much like Awakening it makes me sick. I see ZERO difference between this and Awakening besides that cursed Phoenix Mode. This is disgusting.
Also,
"For the first time in history, you can pair up units before battle."
Um, this is only the second game with pair up, so saying this is the first time in history doesn't make much sense.
Re: Here's Exactly What Has Changed With Fire Emblem Fates' "Skinship" Petting Mode
That video was very.....disturbing. Good thing they took it out, for it has no place in a tactical RPG.
Re: Site News: Gamer Network Kindly Requests Your Help With This Survey
Alright, survey completed. That was probably the first interesting survey I've done.
Re: Capcom Is Bringing Mario Party To Japanese Arcades This Summer
Wonder if this means playable Capcom characters, like Megaman, Zero, and Ryu.
Re: Fire Emblem Fates Removes 'Petting' Feature in Western Localisation
Good, keep that trash out of here. It has no place in a Fire Emblem game.
Re: Sega Reveals More Details On Sonic The Hedgehog's 25th Birthday
I really hope they're working on Sonic Adventure 3. It'd definitely make this anniversary worth remembering.

Pretty cool that they're playing the Super Mario Theme with the bells. That's something I'd like to hear live.

Come on Gallade, you can do this!
Re: Nintendo Download: 7th January (North America)
@mystman12 Nintendo must be humoring them. No company in their right mind would let a game like that on the Eshop.

Re: Feature: A Year in Development - 13AM Games
Runbow is an amazing game and I don't regret buying it. Thank you 13AM Games for creating such a great indie game.

Re: The Art of Fire Emblem: Awakening Releases in North America in Summer 2016
It's sad that IS refuses to promote anything Fire Emblem unless it's Awakening or Fates. Where's my Tellius Artbook?

-Radiant Dawn Sequel (Unlikely, but I can dream.)
Re: Nintendo's Next European Splatfest is the Most Random Yet
Good thing I don't live in Europe; this is pretty pathetic. I feel sorry for everyone who has to endure these Splatfests.
