This game looks interesting, kinda a mix of Fantasy Life and Monster Hunter.
I just have one big question that will make or break my purchase. Is Sephiroth playable?
@LztheQuack I think they're upset because before the picture, people thought there was going to be a big announcement, but it's actually just showing off an Amiibo.
@TrueWiiMaster When they first sent the tweet, there was no picture. Since the tweet itself made no mention of Chibi Robo, people thought it was teasing something big.
I saw the tweet without the picture, and I thought they were going to announce a new character for an upcoming Mario game.........we really need a Direct or something soon.
We're expecting a great Nintendo game, but it'll actually be some trashy, boring, run of the mill game that's so terrible, they'll drop out of the mobile business! I hope so, anyways.
That's harsh. Suing a guy $4,000 over a poster? Come on. Maybe he can take this to court and claim it's not "Copyright Infringement"? Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to burn my Pokemon drawings before I get sued...
I don't think it's been mentioned yet, but a Final Fantasy rep would be great. The series has been around since the NES, and it's still alive and well. Cloud is probably the most well known character from the series, so I'd like to see him in.
So now what's the total cost of all the dlc? Same price as the game, but at a fraction of the content? I wish they'd work on new modes and give them out for free. Smash 4 felt lacking in terms of mode, especially since it lacks a main mode like Melee and Brawl. Why can't they go the Splatoon route?
Maybe the stocks dropping has to do with Tatsumi Kimishima not being as well known? He isn't as famous as, say, Miyamoto. Stockholders are probably waiting for him to do something substantial to give them faith in the new leadership.
Shadow The Hedgehog. He'd be a great addition. Instead of making him a Sonic clone, they could give him his Chaos abilities, like Chaos Spear and Chaos Blast.
Or, you know, they could just replace Robin with me. I'm a far better magic wielder and tactician than he/she could ever be.
10/10 Best game ever. Great story, great characters, and great music. Also, advanced units don't get up to level 25, it's still 20. Just a slight error I noticed.
I think Minecraft is a little too late to the Wii U party. I'm already sold on UCraft so I won't bother with this, even if it was the actual Minecraft game.
That's great that there's so many costumes for Mario, coming with their own poses and sound effects. But, how does 8-bit Sonic look so close to his 16-bit form, yet Megaman looks like......whatever that thing was?
Almost had a heart attack thinking this was official and that it would've confirmed the Apple/Nintendo rumor. Phew. Anyways, I'd love a Path of Radiance coverplate. Not that it'll ever happen, of course.
@Aromaiden Making the game appeal to a broader audience is the problem. The series hasn't been too popular outside Japan, so they're trying to make more money by introducing these odd features and butchering the game into 3. I doubt I'm the only pre-awakening fan who's not fond of Fates.
Oh, and I forgot the Fire-Emblem Amie feature. Plus, it's rated 15+ in Japan, compared to Awakening's 13+, so there's a chance it could be rated M, or at least censored in some areas.
@Aromaiden It's terrible compared to the other games. Casual and Phoenix mode, unbreakable weapons, the gay stuff, the fact that it's split into two versions, and the true route is DLC. Plus, since this game will probably sell well, all the future games will follow suit.

@GuardianKing I know, right? I wonder where they got the idea to put a video game orchestra on The Late Night Show?

@deemdadim Shoot, you beat me to it.

Aside from a few of those games, that's a pretty pitiful list.
Re: Nintendo Attempts to Show the Fun Side of Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival as amiibo Bundles Are Confirmed
This looks like a cheap man's version of Mario Party. It's hilariously bad.
Re: Super Smash Bros. Wii U & 3DS Version 1.1.1 Is Now Live
@Grumblevolcano I think it's safe to say they're going overboard with the DLC, since all of it costs more then one version of the game.

Um, yay?
Re: Weirdness: Just Dance 2016 Will Include An Exclusive Song About Stepping On A Chihuahua
I had a chihuahua once. My brother stepped on his tail. I had a brother once!
On a more serious note, the video seems to be removed. I almost kind of sorta wanted to maybe watch it sometime. Oh well.
Re: Preview: Fabulous Fashion and Questionable Game Design in The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes
@Moon A game with download play is something you seldom hear about. Too bad this requires exactly two other people, no more, no less.

Voice actor strike? That's new.
Re: Nintendo Hammers Out A New Update For Super Mario Maker
When you say Mario Maker has been out for a few weeks, you mean 13 days, right? Are you trying to make the game sound like old news?
Re: Video: Is This The Hardest Super Mario Maker Level Ever Made?
@Mariominer You and me both, pal.

Re: 3D Effect Will Be Disabled When Playing Hyrule Warriors Legends On Older 3DS Hardware
Fine with me. I didn't think the game would run on the old 3DS, so it makes sense something got cut.

I think Minecraft is a little too late to the Wii U party. I'm already sold on UCraft so I won't bother with this, even if it was the actual Minecraft game.
Re: Super Mario Maker Makes its Way to Super Smash Bros. for Wii U & 3DS
Why can't the DLC for this game ever be cheap? I mean, $20 for 4 fighters? 3 of them aren't even new! The hell?

Re: Video: We Look at Every Single Mystery Mushroom Costume in Super Mario Maker
@Tsuchinoko He sure looks like it, huh?
Re: Super Mario Maker DLC Confirmed, Famitsu's Mascot Necky The Fox Coming Soon
@Totaldude911 Sorry, I meant Nintendo. Witcher 3 is a good example of free DLC, though.
Re: Video: We Look at Every Single Mystery Mushroom Costume in Super Mario Maker
That's great that there's so many costumes for Mario, coming with their own poses and sound effects. But, how does 8-bit Sonic look so close to his 16-bit form, yet Megaman looks like......whatever that thing was?
Re: Super Mario Maker Patch Speeds Up Tool Delivery
Great! Nintendo does sometimes listen to us occasionally! Although why didn't they just use this approach in the first place?
Re: Super Mario Maker DLC Confirmed, Famitsu's Mascot Necky The Fox Coming Soon
@Aromaiden True. Too bad most other Nintendo games don't have free DLC/updates.
Re: Super Mario Maker DLC Confirmed, Famitsu's Mascot Necky The Fox Coming Soon
@Totaldude911 That's not DLC, it was on disc content being unlocked over a period of time.

Re: Super Mario Maker DLC Confirmed, Famitsu's Mascot Necky The Fox Coming Soon
Wouldn't it be great if this game had FREE DLC? Is that still a thing?
Re: Weirdness: You Can Get Apple, Sorry, 'Aple' Cover Plates for Your New Nintendo 3DS

Re: 3DS System Update 10.0.0-27 Is Available Now
How about instead of adding "stability", give us something interesting!
Re: Rumours and Speculation Stir Over Potential Involvement of Nintendo with Apple TV
Please no. Stay away from Apple, Nintendo!
Re: GameTruck Parties to Take Super Mario Maker on the Road in North America
That's good, help get the Super Mario Maker name out there. Too bad they don't come anywhere near where I live.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo's Challenge With Super Mario's 2D Future
"considering the fact retro templates out-number the modern 3 to 1." So, three templates out-number one template 3 to 1? Shocking!
