Re: Ouendan And Elite Beat Agents Creator Would Love To Continue The Series On Nintendo NX

TJF588

Give me EBA 3D, with popping strips, swanky covers, DLC packs, and for the love of Jumping Jack the skip-end-of-song-scenes function from Ouendan 2, I'll be happy and broke.

Oh, and anyone here played Demons' Score for smartphones? SQEX eventually pulled it, but once I got a modern phone (rather than my aging iPod), it was available through my Purchases on-device (sadly, not on PC), and I could even still buy the last character I was missing...SATAN!

Re: Reminder: Distribution is Underway for Mythical Pokémon Darkrai

TJF588

@c1pher_c0mplet I tend to be able to get multiple cards for my, my sister's, and her partner's sets of XY+ORAS (so, six total), but they're familiar with me. On one hand, you can redeem those cards at leisure. On the other, on-site wi-fi distribution is unlimited. In either case, it's easier to just do as with Zygarde, but then why go to a shoppe?

Re: Callie and Marie Join a New Splatoon amiibo Range on 8th July

TJF588

Seeing comments here, and I'm thinking, these figures are for fans of these particular characters. You get them in figurine form, which I take as an uncommon luxury outside the Land of the Super Jumping Sun, and their in-game content is centric to their stage presences. I, for one, and ecstatic to have this degree of fanservice, especially after watching those live concerts.

I mean, if these figurines unlocked significant game content (as the first Splatoon wave did), wouldn't that be WORSE, since those who have no interest in the figures themselves are effectively paywalled to get more game?

Re: Callie and Marie Join a New Splatoon amiibo Range on 8th July

TJF588

MUST get those Squid Sisters (at least the Splatfest aesthetic will live on, even after Nintendo drops 'em), but not sure where I am on the recolors. Definitely liking the green-ink Girl, and I know a fellow player is a fan of orange ink, but funds'll prolly be too tight for bought sets...

Re: Western Localisation Of Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Features Costume And Age Changes

TJF588

Just, -w-h-y- bother doing this? Like, what purpose is there to covering up a game such as this? Why attach the stigma of "altered/censored version" when I'd doubt anyone would be swayed due to it.

I'm of @Souldin's mind on this. If you're going to bump up character ages (I was honestly excited, reading Bravely Default's manual to see the cast wasn't all teenagers like everything always, only to gain later this perceptual conflict), why then also change the content you'd need them to be "of age" for in the first place?

Just...why?! Where's the net plus, here?

Re: Video: Let's Celebrate The Hot Mess That Was The GameCube's AV Output

TJF588

I got a GameCube after they removed the Digital A/V Out port, but now the only thing I'd play on it rather than the Wii is the Game Boy Player, which would benefit from it the most, in my estimation, since these games were made for a system that had, in my estimation, progressive output, such that anything flickering would momentarily disappear under interlace (Samus taking damage, ghostly enemies in Castlevania). I really oughta look into the HDMI mod, and estimate that.

Re: Mighty No. 9's Release Date Remains A Mighty Mystery

TJF588

Had just early searched up if there was another delay, having seen a sentiment on Twitter to tge effect of these delays on such a prominent Kickstarter project losing confidence and subsequent pledges to other such projects. Amazon has it as May 31st, a placeholder, but hey, given Miitomo's release date...

Re: Hurrah, Miitomo Is Now Available In The West

TJF588

Currently stuck on Mii creation. I've only played the Tomodachi Life demo, so no QR codes (does the Move-In version allow this?), and my Mii had been set to no-copying, so outta luck there. Shoulda just made a QR from said Mii, but too late, so unless its copy status updates before then, I've got some six hours before I'm back home at my systems. Le sigh.

Re: The Nintendo DSi Shop Shuts Down Next Year

TJF588

If this means that, without Nintendo Points or whatever faff, we can see price adjustments and/or sales down the line, count my breath baited. Shantae: RR FOR $13 USD when I picked it up on mobile for a pittance (or free) is a shame. Part of why I've yet to nab the only DSiWare-exclusive Mighty game, Milky Way.

Re: 17 Games Get North American eShop Discounts in the Winter Warm-Up Sale

TJF588

I'm tempted toward Star Fox 3D because of the Download Play (which Ninty really needs to add to the store page's tags) and spiffier graphics, but when its sale price here is higher than what it really oughta be under a Nintendo Selects banner...

But, I see myself getting Sin & Punishment (have Star Successor on disc), Mega Man Xtreme, and Gunman Clive 2. Maybe also MMBN1, but that only due to Ghost_Wheel's races with those games.

Re: ​Ichiro Hazama Would Like to Keep Making More Theatrhythm Games

TJF588

Theatrhythm Kingdom Hearts, but I'd imagine it'd have to come out after KHIII (or, since that requires outlasting the heat death of the universe, maybe after 2.8, as further promotion for the un-evitable).
I mean, I'd jam "L'Oscurita d'ell Ignoto" or whatever from 3D all damn night. And from the same game, its remix of "Calling" is was got me to buy the (less pumpin') original for TFFCC.

Re: Splatoon Developers Talk Stage Design and the End of Regular Updates

TJF588

Really, for this debut title, what more I would want is a last round of Octo Valley. Perhaps a rebound by the Octarians, where it sums up with a balance and acceptance of the two races. But then, that'd feel like a setup for a sequel, but maybe we can work in a setup for such a resolution? Might work to drum up anticipation of a sequel.

Re: Final Fantasy VI Advance Arrives on the Wii U Virtual Console in Japan

TJF588

My pipe dream: EU release on NA eShop, For all three of the SNES-era-ers. Especially for FFIVA, the EU versions feature the most bug fixes (FFIVA EU being based on the second, cleaned up JP release), AND multiple languages, AND the English script is lifted from the NA versions (with a bit of fixin' to, say, FFIVA's "Gilgamesh", more properly "Gil Turtle"...yeah?).

But, pipe dreams. And my wish SQEX would cast off their past idiosyncrasies. But then "Aeris" in the cheevos on FFVII Steam/PS4...

Re: Nintendo Shows Off Splatoon's New Upcoming Stages Through the Art of Dance

TJF588

@rjejr Really like the idea of AI Octolings for map practice. Heck, playing on the updated maps, compared to their existence in Octo Valley... And, hey, with all these new maps, I could see for some more OV and Battle Dojo content! C'mon, a last hurrah for the offline components!

(And, above all, a means to play the online content after servers go down, and transfer progress to an inevitable sequel.)

Re: Poll: Did The Final Video Presentation for Super Smash Bros. Provide a Memorable Ending?

TJF588

Unfortunately, caught the end of the stream after seeing the Twitch e-mail that Nintendo was live, so any theatrics were lost on me. Didn't recognize the not-Bayonetta character right off, but by the looks and knowing Fates is coming, I all but groaned. All the undoubtedly interesting pics from the poll, and we get a n o t h e r FE.

EDIT: But, haven't gone back to see their reveals, either, so cannot fairly judge Corrin, or fairly HYPE on Bayonetta.

Re: Splatoon's Next North American Splatfest is Basically a Survey for Santa

TJF588

Just bummed I waited so long to finally get around to screenshooting the last Splatfest's results. Not even an hour past the start time of last week (11pm CST), and no news, and no Shells. One hour! All my procrastination, and my perfect Miiverse record, tanked in less than an hour. Was Team Pizza, but I got to Defender rank... As of I wasn't already sick, then that.

But, prolly nice. At least, I am at work.

Re: Feature: A Pokémon Retrospective: Generation 4 - 2006-2010

TJF588

This is probably the one gen I still don't have as much investment in, far as the mainline goes — of the "sets", this is the oldest I haven't beaten one of, and past it only Black 1 so far. This was also around when I stopped keeping pace with the animu. Compared to the sharped-edges impressions I have of the RSE designs, the DPPt feel bulbous, and so a bit more manufactured for me. I'unno, hard to put impressions into words, especially if as you look more into what you're describing, you pick up more nuance and potentially lose what gave you that impression in the first place.
