They were all packed and ready to go, but there was a Snorlax in their way.

@ikki5 Sorry, that read weird. I meant an ambassador program for the New 3DS to make up for the lack of exclusives during it's first year.

Ambassador program for New 3DS, plz.

Could not possibly shovel enough coal to fuel the hype train right now.

I never played X/Y, so I was really hoping for the long rumored Z. Could still happen, I suppose.

Would have bought Sadame straight away at $9.99, but I'll wait for some reviews before deciding now. Should probably just save my eShop funds for Twilight Princess next week, anyway.

This would be a $40 dlc pack purchase for me, as I'd never play this game on the go. It should be possible to transfer the new characters and then just resell the game, right?

The system will need to sell boatloads in order for it to get any interesting and exclusive content, but it won't sell boatloads without the promise of said content up front. I just don't see how this could possibly work out well, honestly.

SOLD.

@argh4430 I hear you, brother. Those snakes are so small and quick that I think they're one of the more deadly enemies in the first part of the game.

That was maybe the best game trailer that I've ever seen.

And to anyone who is wondering, yes. You will feel like a huge loser the first time that you are killed by a stupid wasp.

The update actually released yesterday.

I never got into Fire Emblem, for whatever reason. I did download the Awakening demo this morning to hopefully see what the fuss is about, though.
PXZ2 looks very interesting, but only a handful of those characters really mean anything to me so I might try to grab a sale copy later on down the line.

A recent playthrough of A Link To The Past put it back at the top of my list. Wind Waker was hugely important to me both times that it was released, and Majora's Mask is one of the headiest games that I've ever played. So that's my three.

Dude got in Runbow, at least.

The importance of Splatoon really cannot be overstated, both in terms of moving some Wii U units and in improving Nintendo's public perception. The fact that it came from a young team should really inform the direction that they head in with the next console's development cycle.

7/10

This is probably the best thing I've bought on my Wii U since Runbow came out.

@Freeon-Leon @dumedum I'm in with you guys. Anybody who doesn't have a hard copy of this masterpiece needs to download the eShop version a.s.a.p.

I got Bayonetta and her stage last night, so I voted Shütshimi. Been waiting on that one for quite a while.

The spectre of Treasurenauts has become some kind of bizarre joke at this point.

@Shiryu That was a crazy good read, friend. Had never even heard of it before, but I will find this game and play it before the year is out thanks to this review.

"Please don't be Mario Match-3..."

They already did that and released it on the 3DS last year.

They've got to start tweeting some shadowy images of hardware prototypes. SOMETHING.

Just give us the deets, Ninty. This is getting out of hand.

Doesn't OctoDad seem a little out of place in this bunch?

I've never played FF Tactics and I feel like that's something that I should have under my belt. I'm also interested in Level 22, Joe's Diner, and the mini-game collection. I'll have to see some gameplay videos or proper reviews before deciding on those, though.

I think I'm done with the reviews on this site.

I don't think I could have ever gotten as generally good at the game as I am if all of the maps, weapons, and modes had been dumped on me at launch. Still not a huge fan of the rotating maps, but I do understand why that is necessary.

That's a steal on OlliOlli if the cross-buy is still going. I never did get Freedom Planet and I am very tempted to at that price.

@Drac_Mazoku You just dissected all of the problems with this review way better than I could have. I wholeheartedly agree with you, here.

'More of the same' here was definitely a good thing, as far as I'm concerned. I love this little game every bit as much as I did the first one but I feel like a lot of 3DS owners will sadly skip right past it.

I always thought the Keflings game looked interesting, so I'll definitely get the demo for that. Other than that, I'm just watching for what the next round of the winter sale will hold.

10/10. Would buy.

I am nothing without the hammer header image.

I thought that 'I.Q. Test' was the auspicious debut of Ninja Pig.

Why is it so slooooooow? It looks like it'd be awesome if sped up by about 30%.

I understand that the 3DS is aging hardware that was never really cutting-edge in the first place, so I never complain about the occasional pop in or jagged edges but HWL just looks plain terrible running on the old model. I have a New 3DS and loved the original game so I'm buying, but absolutely no way would I be purchasing this for play on an original model.
They will get more sales because of this not being a New 3DS exclusive, obviously, but at what cost? Putting that product out there at full price for original 3DS owners is a joke.

I bet his mom was really ticked when she opened the letter from Nintendo.

The employees of Retro Studios are some heroically tight-lipped folks, for sure. Their building has to be fit to explode with pent up excitement by now.

I'll have Zero Mission, thanks. Praise Reggie.

It's a good thing that Alex is so delightful because that video could not have stood on the information alone.

This, I am about.

EOV, SMT IV: Final, and #FE could fill out a big chunk of my year if the Western releases are forthcoming. I'm guessing localisations of these are a good ways away, but I can continue to dream.

The sound you hear is of a million wallets crying out in agony.

I grabbed the Wii U version recently when it was on sale and the game is definitely well made and tons of fun to play. My young niece and I gave been burning it up lately to the point of neglecting our usual Runbow antics. It is a real shame that it couldn't find the audience that it deserves on consoles.

Alright, then. All I needed to hear was that this ran well on New 3DS. I've never played this before but I'll be getting it as soon as return home.

I've read in several different places on the internet that girls do not actually play video games so this seems pretty suspect, tbh.

Break the pot and get the poor Maimai out of there. His squeaking is driving me nuts.
