@non42 Sad but true--the video bored me to tears, I couldn't even finish it. Here's hoping the actual game is wayyyy better than what I've seen so far. JFC.
(late comment is late, whatever) The fact that they scored this worse than Gates to Infinity makes this 'review' lose all credibility imo. As others have said, it should be 7 or 8/10(at least). It starts off slow, but it's so much fun + way better than GTI. sigh I don't get what is with people who don't like the rougelike genre, 'reviewing' a game in that very genre? It's the same logic as having someone who hates video games as a whole--review a video game! Obviously they're gonna be biased against it. -_-
And I'm a Pokemon fan, but I personally didn't like (or buy) oras--I thought it was a weak re-hash/remake, lazily taking out plenty of great things from the original(s), which could've easily been kept in (if the battle frontier was possible to put in a gba game, it obviously could've been kept in a 3ds game) and calling it a day.
So I'm not just saying this "because pokemon"; PSMD has it's issues--what game doesn't--but it's genuinely a huge improvement from GTI, in all aspects + doesn't deserve such low ratings.
@NiBar "3,888円 (税込)" isn't the number of downloads--it's the price of the game in Japanese Yen XD also, according to the official website, it's now the #1 most downloaded game on the eshop! Wow... Even more impressive when re-iterating what @SahashraLA said--the fact that Japan has way more games than elsewhere on the wii u, yet this game is now at the top of the list!
Gawd I hate Natsume for keeping the Harvest Moon title/name and the fact that people don't research ahead of time, so they don't realize they're wasting money on this crap, instead of buying an actual Bokujou Monogatari series' game. sigh
@BlatantlyHeroic now I see it--it definitely looked like a tiny gardevoir from the thumbnail, but zooming in, I can see the eyes. Interesting, it looks like a tadpole.
"That is why I have been repeatedly saying that the next news on NX will not be announced during 2015 but will be announced in 2016." announced next year--not released. He literally goes on to say in the next sentence that he keeps mentioning the NX: "since NX has news value." That's it.
I still need a Wii U, but this is one of the few games for the system that seems really interesting/worth buying, but I'll have to see more reviews/gameplay to know for sure...
One of my fave GBA games! I played through it so many times. Man, I need to re-buy a GBA SP so I can re-play this + Pokemon R/S/E (I made the mistake of lending mine to my cousin years ago -__-' and of course he broke it... lol, trust no one.)
This is the the game I'm most looking forward to--and I don't even have a wii u yet, lol. It certainly wasn't worth buying for the first few years, but now that there are finally some good games, hopefully I can afford one by summer.
Just one week from tomorrow--finally!! Not that I'll be able to get it day one, but it sure has been pushed back many times, lol. Been waiting forever. Though I wish nintendolife would add the release date+art since it's coming so soon?
Wow their commentary was obnoxious--I couldn't even handle the video after a minute thirty...just wow. But yeah, I remember the "Fierce Diety Link anywhere" glitch in the N64 version...
Ughhh, it's been on-and-off letting me log in, then kicking me back out every few minutes for the past 2+ hours--and it's not just 'maintenance'; half the time I attempt to log in, it says there's "high traffic volume" which means other people will get all the good stuff before the rest of us even get a chance.... sigh
Late comment, but I'm SO glad they brought back these 3ds game card cases (the only worthy prize imo) after I just recently made my CN account; so of course I did all the annoying surveys from my games+systems, and got just enough coins for 1 of each design, then just got them in the mail the other day, and I love being able to put all my 3/ds games in them for easier/quick access! Might get a few more some day.
Too bad OR/AS are the lowest quality, most lacking games so far. People always defend the lack of a battle frontier by saying "it's a remake of R/S, not emerald!"--HG/SS were also remakes, and they had the frontier added.
If the reason so many things are lacking from oras is because they were rushed, they should've spent more time on the games. It's now 3 years in a row that new main series Pokemon games have been released all around the same time, simply so they'll get more sales for the Holidays? Isn't it supposed to be quality over quantity?

Re: Take a Look at the New 'Green Blob' Pokémon
The face looks exactly like it's a tiny Gardevoir, with the green "hair" covering the white-ish face... Idk, but I hope we get more info soon!

Rest in peace, Mr. Iwata.
Re: Talking Point: The Pros, Cons and Questionable Likelihood of a Nintendo NX Release in Summer 2016
Based on this quote from Iwata himself, obviously it's not being released next year: http://nintendoeverything.com/iwatas-full-comments-on-wii-u-and-3ds-launches-nx-will-be-offered-through-a-nintendo-like-solution/
