Splatburst

@SKTTR
LOL I apologize, I think I misunderstood. @TheLastLugia is being sarcastic am I correct? Or he wasn't?

@zool
It's like the Bayonetta 1&2 bundle as far as I understand. They are bundled together as one retail priced game, at least the first print edition. And you can buy them separately in the eShop. Probably a bit pricier separately but the discount kicks in if you buy the two to make it the same price as one retail game.

@TheLastLugia
Miyamoto created and produced the Pikmin franchise. Are you just here to hate?

Star Fox Zero and Fire Emblem Fates!

@Priceless_Spork
Nintendo is done supporting the Wii. They've already put most of these games on the Wii VC. And Nintendo knows internally if they are still selling. What's your point? Right now they are focused on supporting the 3DS and the Wii U. That's an illogical stupid counter-argument you have there.

Staying Fresh!

There's a glitch on the crossbuy Nintendo is avoiding (having multiple NNIDs on Wii U that are linked to multiple 3DSes).

Nintendo isn't forcing you to buy the N3DS version. And please stop being entitled. I guess we'll see crossbuy on the NX handheld and home consoles.

Can I use this to unlock it?

I don't have anything against Shibata but he is a pain to watch (hard to understand his words).

Weak software sales overall.

Bayonetta, Corrin and Cloud amiibo release dates, and mooooaaaarrrr amiibo! Zelda line amiibo and Pokémon amiibo cards!? Also the rest of SMB amiibo line?

I will buy the bundle, buy it digitally and buy an extra wolf Link amiibo! It's so worth it to me and the visual is HD enough compared to the Wii version. Now bring Skyward Sword Wii VC to the eShop Nintendo!

@RainbowGazelle
What BS are you spreading? The bundle which includes the amiibo and soundtrack is 43£ (on Amazon UK, 49€ on France) and not 51£ (40£ + 11£) as you're implying. The bundle even went as low as 35£ on Amazon.

@RainbowGazelle
I think it's part of a larger Direct that was scrapped probably because of the possible Star Fox delay or change of plans.

Yay!

Pokémon does what Zeldon't!
(I stole that one)

Zelda 30th anniversary has been delayed to next year folks!

As long as it's CG like the Pikmin short movies then yes. I don't think Mario or Zelda would work though. I think Metroid, Star Fox and Pikmin CG movies could work.

@Peach64
Did you really think we won't get a Pokemon game on its 20th anniversary and having none last year?

Looks good. I'll keep my eye on this.

@abbyhitter
Sell them or announce it now and they'll lose initial 3DS sales. Either they sell later or not at all.

@RainbowGazelle
It's a port, they don't really need to update the old version at all as they need to sell the new one. Plus it's still early to bash Nintendo. I have a gut feeling they'll sell them as DLC to the Wii U version at a later date.

I haven't picked up the Wii U version yet and I wanted the golden compass/clock so I preordered it.

@Shiryu
Thanks. I'll keep those in mind.

I would have considered it without the shield in the back.

@Shiryu
Can you recommend the best ones? Preferably kid-friendly.

@ThomasBW84
I know but it goes to show there are no clear favorites. You gotta make things harder for Pokefans next time.

@ThomasBW84
Just look at the results. I think choosing 3 games won't work in this poll. You have to make another poll with only one choice allowed.

LOL at the results.

@Action51
I believe it's Microsoft.

Yeah, no. Nintendo can't just give it to anyone until launch. That's how it works. Even with other console makers.

@Gerbwmu
They said until the Pokken bundles arrive.

Go Splatoon!

Yay!

@Collinhall
Eh not really. Nintendo has been taking down videos that "misrepresent" their games (hacked/tool-assisted). You might call it harmless but it's not, on a company's perspective.

@Dezzy
Nintendo don't need to make the architecture similar to the PSBox One. They need to make one that fits Nintendo and stick on it for a long time for the next generation NXs. With comments directly from Nintendo (Iwata, Miyamoto) about how Apple/Android games work on different forms (tablets, smartphones, etc), we'll likely to see NX handheld,NX home console, NX2, NX3, and so on with one OS that works on all Nintendo platforms. 3rd party just need to adapt to NX once and it'll be easier to adjust comes NX 2, 3 and all.

@TheHeroOfTime333
Digital is the future.

@TheHeroOfTime333
Unless you're into creating levels, it's worth it. For me, I bought it day one but regretted it because I soon realized I don't have time to make some levels nor play random crappy ones. Someday maybe.

They're mostly low quality imo. Amiibo is waaay better especially now that most of them are heavily discounted.

@lewieboy124
No need for that. The call for Fates release date is always mentioned in every NoE tweet.

@Grumblevolcano
Hey we can still have Miitomo and My Nintendo/Account Direct.

When is FATES!?

Makes me think these announcements means there will be no more Direct at least until after E3.

@aaronsullivan @XenoCity @IceClimbers @JaxonH @ThomasBW84
Just a thought. If Nintendo already consolidated their software/hardware divisions and that the NX is a unified OS that works for both handheld and home console, do they really need to bow on EA's or other 3rd party demands?

Nintendo will continue to do what they've been doing only that there would be no droughts this time as they could pump games to both systems in one development (per game).

Nintendo surely needs 3rd party support but it would be dangerous if they fully put the fates of NX on it. Nintendo should only give in half of the demands

Nah. Charlize Theron is Samus Aran. Ronda Rousey could be as Daisy/Peach instead.

@Sligeach
It's better than popularity wins all the time. Plus Europe had a couple of Splatfests where the popular team won. They need to lower the multiplier from x6 downto x4 like the guy above me said.

@sandman89
"we're aware some are claiming this is 'confirmed' via sources, though we'd suggest it's ultimately a logical prediction."

LOL those butthurt comments over Wind Waker. The fans have voted on their favorites. You guys are just on the minority.

If Pokemon red wins in Splatfest, we get Fates EU release date. If Blue wins, we get a Direct including Fates release date, Zelda U footage and Mother 3 release.

@GH05T
It won't be 18AUD. 9£ is like 12€ but it's only 10€ outside UK. It depends on regional pricing, not exchange rates.

@diwdiws
I know. it's just that I was amazed the Wii U delivered a game as beautiful and expansive as XCX.
