Splatburst

@bluedogrulez
That's why you wear Stealth Jump shoes. Also no to invincibility on jumpers. It's part of the strategy. Do I wear stealth jump or quick jump? Or Ink Resistance? You decide.

@MitchVogel
LOL did you really think EU's splatfest will take place on February?

Anyway, we got a good one Europe! I need to get fit in 2016!

@StephenYap3
Personally SMM bored me soon after it was released. For me it's just a 2D Mario platformer. Maybe because I got turned off on crappy levels, or auto levels, or unfair levels uploaded by users. It made me appreciate Nintendo-created 2D Mario games like NSMBU even more.

Splatoon on the other hand brought entirely new things and ideas on the multiplayer shooter genre. It speaks for itself when it beaten COD, Battlefront, Destiny, etc on the Game Awards for best multiplayer and best shooter category.

@AlexSora89
Because Splatoon is waaaaaaaaay better!

Bring the green and yellow in Europe please. We already have red and blue.

Merry Christmas!

@IceClimbers
I voted the Inklings but Marie (alternate skin Callie) would have been better.

@AVahne
Yeah, Hector would have been waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better. Not Corrin who is another sword fighter

I sense more Nintendo-published sales announcement within this week. Getting SMRPG!

European Amazons store and share SOME of their stocks between them. So those SK amiibos may come from their German/French warehouses.

@XCWarrior @EarthboundBenjy
Because Yacht Club Games want to reward those who buy the amiibo. You already got what you paid for with the game and that free DLC. It's not like they promised you to give multiplayer and a new mode when you kickstarted/bought it.

@sinalefa
Splatoon Wikia says it's Seeker + Echolocator. I was hoping for Splat Bomb or Suction Bomb.

@ Jools Watsham

I think it's because the majority of your audience don't want horror or FPS games in the 3DS at the moment. Make something more like Mutant Mudds with interesting characters. For me XeoDrifter didn't appeal because the character is too small and it doesn't have a character or interesting background/story. At least that's what I feel on the trailers and screen shots.

Pfffft! Still no DPad support for movement.

Anyway, looking back at it now: the price of the DLC characters and stages are fine if you consider the development costs. The only things that made it seem too expensive are the costumes which are just optional cosmetic items.

When they released Earthbound Beginnings, I am so sure they'll release Earthbound Ending (lol).

@rjejr
With a small install base, I prefer if we don't have a choice on which map or which mode to play on. It keeps searching for matches easier and faster. I personally hate rainmaker. What if majority of Splatoon players in the whole world hate it too and we get to choose which mode to play on? Then you'd have a problem searching for matches.

Look at the last European Splatfest. Finding matches on a single mode was unbearable (it took 5 mins or so on average) because the other team was outnumbered and EU has the least Splatoon population compared to US or Japan.

Maybe we'll get an update down the line to choose which map or which mode to play on when we have enough Splatoon players or by the time they release the final maps on January.

@Yosher
Maybe the playable Octolings will be on Splatoon 2. That would be the best thing to do. Explore a bit of their story, or maybe focus on it in the single player mode.

Have they released all the contents at launch and gave the option to choose maps, I would have been bored with it after 6 months and only played a few favorite maps with a high win rate for me and moved on to another game. The drip-feed contents keeps the game fresh and interesting while not giving the option to choose maps taught players to adapt and kept the community as one.

Going to download it for sure and I'm not even a Pokémon fan. The concept is pretty cool.

@GoldenGamer88
We all like to scan it ONCE. But that defeats the purpose of "toys to life" concept BECAUSE if you scan it only once, you forget about the toy. It should require you to scan it every time you use it at least on amiibo-centric games.

Nintendo master race!

Give me some Splatoon love next time. I'm very happy for Bayonetta though. Corrin is mmmmmeeeeehhhhh......

I wish Simon Belmont made it on Smash instead of FE Fates' Corrin.

@Nico07
I really hope they give us the option. The stick (or slidepad in the 3ds) is inaccurate for me. I dash when I don't intend to. I prefer the DPad on 2D platformers/fighting games and even in MK8 when maneuvering because it's more responsive for me personally.

@Nico07
But it's lacking buttons on the Wiimote. I want the DPad on the pro or gamepad.

DPad for movement Sakurai. That's all I ask. I mean you can implement it on the Wiimote, why not give us the option on the pro controller?

Edit:
Also hoping for Axel from Bare Knuckle (Street of Rage), Hector (axe-wielder) from Fire Emblem, and either that Ninja Gaiden dude or Shinobi dude for Smash!

It'll be my first Pokémon game.

@GH05T
IKR. Just replace it with glass/screen.

Splatooooooon!!! Followed by XCX.

I'm sorry but Mario Maker for me is boring. I'd rather play Nintendo-made SMB game. I bought Mario Maker day one but didn't have the urge to properly create a level. The user-made levels? It was interesting initially.

Just The Swapper and The Swindle for me as I already have Stealth Inc 2 day one. I'm not gonna buy the other Curve Digital just because they're cheap but because they're not my thing.

@Tuosev
I'd love to see Hector.

@sWiTcHeRoO
You're seriously expecting PS4 graphics on the Wii u? Or that fan-made TP HD that is running on a high-end PC? We don't know nothing yet what Tantalus has added to the official TP HD.

@TheWPCTraveler
They could have been working on it already. Plus it's 25th FE anniversary next year IIRC.

@MitchVogel
I hope they'll announce Path of Radiance + Radiant Dawn HD remaster for 2016 release. Wii U or NX, I don't care which.

@Mr_Zurkon @Socar
I'm with the others. NX will have a unified OS just like Android, iOS and Windows. It will run in different Nintendo NX hardwares (handheld and home consoles that will vary in specs). Most games on it can be played on a weaker handheld (with weaker resolution/graphics) and on a home console with better graphics/features.

It's like computers, tablets and phones that Nintendo could release a better spec after a certain time. So we'll see hardware NX 1, NX2, NX 3 and so on just like iPad 1, 2, 3 or Samsung Galaxy S1, S2, S3 and so on. But games and apps run on all those systems with the newer versions offering better graphics or faster performance.

Edit:
It doesn't mean Nintendo will release a NX hardware every year though. Maybe every 3 years. This will also solve problems with backwards compatibility from now and onwards as they'll just make the necessary adjustments on the graphical settings depending on the specs of the NX hardware. No more expensive and time-consuming porting.

@wazlon
I saw somewhere that it's disruptors and bubbler.

@MitchVogel
From a neutral point of view, they're not interesting nor appealing, or they didn't offer anything new and that they're not marketed well. It doesn't mean they're a bad game.

Also Mutant Mudds' protagonist have a character. It has defining traits. You can see his face, etc. Xeodrifter did not and I think the character was too small. As for Moon Chronicles, do we really want a scifi 3rd person shooter on a handheld at this time?

@Savino
That's what I was thinking at first but looking at the images, the screen around the sticks/slidepad are for menus/items only that will be activated by sliding on their directions. I think this could work but we'll see.

@day
Same. Gyro controls or gtfo.

I'll wait for the Wii U HD version.

I'm more excited on the announcements related to the new characters' games. Like FFVII on the Wii U, etc.

@Steve_Bowling
Please tell me you can stir with the DPad? I hate the analaog stick in 2D games and racing games.

Just play it on Steam on a 75% off sale. A regular laptop/pc will do.

@ThomasBW84

@emiingham
Agreed. Pineapple should be eaten fresh and cold!

So how will the titles be named? Pineapple on Pizza is Delicious King or Queen? Pineapple on Pizza is disgusting King/Queen?

Please let me know who decides these European themes so I can splat him/her with a bucket of paint.

@Einherjar
Haha! I was thinking the same. Mega Yarn Yoshi blue and pink.

Zelda U demo for December 18! There I called it!
