@AyeHaley I agree 100%. I just hate it when Mobile games are compared to Handheld Video Games. Handheld games are in an entirely different league to Mobile games.
@KnightRider666 Not really. Sega lost consumer trust when they launched the Dreamcast a mere 2 years after they released the Saturn. Thus making fans not wanting to support the Sega OR the Dreamcast. Nintendo has done no such thing and as a result, won't go the Sega route...
@A01 I don't think that Nintendo's only goal is to convince people from coming over to their Handhelds. I think that expanding their business and venturing into other territories to see if a profit can be made, is their main goal...
Pokemon Shuffle, could been a Smartphone game, without the battle aspect. I mean, it's structured like one, Free download, in app purchases, life regeneration and match 3 or more...
@A01 Both of my local GAME, each have equal space for all three companies.
The first has Sony on the left, Nintendo in the middle(complete with Amiibo,) and Microsoft on the right. The second has Nintendo and a bit of Sony on the left and the rest of Sony and Microsoft on the right and they also had a few New 3DS boxes at the counter.
Either both of my local GAME are awesome, or your local GAME sucks...
@Captain_Gonru I agree about the coin limit. I literally do between 5000 and 15000 steps per day, it sucks that only 1000 of them are counted towards my coin count, but I get 10 coins per day. I would love for the coin limit to be increased 1000+, or removed completely. I wish for the Streetpass limit was 50+ at least...
@AJWolfTill I think you misunderstood me. I meant that every time that the horse that the player can physically use in the game is confirmed as Epona, it has always, or at least mostly, been rideable in the child timeline of the offical Zelda Timeline...
@NintyMan He could, maybe he could have shop in the game. People want a Robin Williams NPC in the game, they coud have a Robin Williams Mask in the game...
-Mewtwo is a given.
-Mario Kart 8 DLC Pack 2 is a given.
-Puzzles and Dragons:Super Mario Bros Edition is a given.
-Hopefully, something Mario Maker related.
-Hopefully Tournament and Miiverse Stage.
-Hopefully Zelda U.
-Hopefully at least Starfox information.
-Hopefully Fire Emblem.
-Hopefully Yoshi's Wooly World.
-Hopefully more Wii games on E-Shop.
So many hopefullies, but not many guarantees...
@Timppis Majora's Mask 2 will be that Killer App that Nintendo needs on their new console. The bonus being that it would be a launch title, so you wouldn't have to wait at all for that great game to come...
I just realised something. Epona only appeared as a rideable horse in the Child Timeline. Right? And the Happy Mask Salesman only appears in Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. If I'm not mistaken. Please correct me if I'm wrong with that last statement. So what if the new Zelda game on Wii U, takes place right after Majora's Mask? And the Happy Mask Salesman makes an appearance in the new Zelda game and opens a Mask Shop in the new game and when Link first visits the shop, he remembers Link and gives Link a free mask, as appreciation for what Link did for the Happy Mask Salesman in Majora's Mask, then he tells Link that he can buy any mask that Link wishes to, anytime he wishes and introduces his new collection of Masks. Maybe I've gone way too far with this idea........
There's little to no way that it's hinting at the Happy Mask Salesman being DLC for Hyrule Warriors, because the Majora's Mask pack is already out. The only way I see this happening, is if they release a pack that features major, non playable characters and features The Happy Mask Salesman with some others that I can't think of off of the top of my head. I think that it is more likely that it's hinting at The Happy Mask Salesman will appear in the new Zelda game on Wii U. I think either as a Sidequest as he was in Ocarina of Time, or maybe he has a shop, like in Ocarina of Time, but instead of Sidequesting, the player can buy or rent certain masks, at anytime, to enforce the go anywhere, anytime aspect of the new Zelda game, like in A Link Between Worlds with Ravio's Shop...
@CaviarMeths If Nintendo don't put a stop to this, then it's going to affect 3DS game sales. Which in turn, will end up lossing Nintendo more money than if they tried to put a stop to this...
@EvisceratorX Their not refusing to make one, they have just been unsuccessful making one on 3DS, they tried, but it didn't work out. Plus, they could be working on a New Metroid for Wii U as we speak and preparing to show a trailer for it at E3 this year...
@Cia That's exactly the kind of hacker MrBean35000vr(the guy who's video this is,) is like. Ever since Mario Kart Wii, he hacked online just for fun, not to win races. He has done a thing where if there is a For The Win hacker in the room, he will intentionally target that racer and prevent that guy from draining everybody else's VR and ruining other people's fun. He also is one of the founders of Mario Kart Wii Custom Tracks and that is really cool, trust me, I've tried it and it's awesome, definitely a contributing factor to why Mario Kart Wii is my most played game ever, so much so, that not even not Animal Crossing can hold a candle to it...
@KirbyKirbyKirby I actually experienced this first hand 2-3 years ago, I was in a room on N64 Sherbet Land, there was a hacker in the room and was spamming Blue Shells and Shocks like crazy, he did it so much, that he actually made the room lag, this was the only time that I experienced lag on Mario Kart Wii, the race lasted for about double or even triple the amount of time shown on the in game timer, he got first, (He was a For The Win hacker, not the, Just For Fun hacker that the guy in the video is.) After that race, I left that room to join another room, not that the guy hacking to win was annoying me, it was more like the lag so atrocious. I did end up in 3rd place however, in a 9 player room, so that's something...
@Zach777 He wasn't really trying to win was he. He was experimenting the different effects and even went back for some items that ended up on the ground when it shouldn't have, just to see the effect that it had. He didn't care about winning, just showing off what happens...
Or how about Amiibo support for Nintendo Land, where you can unlock extra stages for each mini game, like 10 more stages in Mario Chase for tapping the Mario or Toad Amiibo and add 10 mini games for Amiibo that don't have mini games in Nintendo Land, like Starfox type minigame for the Fox Amiibo, Kirby style minigames with the Kirby Amiibo, etc...
What if Nintendo made an Amiibo centric game, where you tap an Amiibo to create stages based on the Amiibo that you tapped. For example, 3D Mario Levels when you tap the Mario Amiibo with Brick/Question Mark blocks, Power Ups from all of the 3D Mario games and enemies like Goombas and Octumbas. With the Link Amiibo, you can create your own 3D Zelda levels with Moblins, Dungeons, Items and other things. With the Samus Amiibo, you could create your own 3D Metroid stages. Luigi Amiibo, Own Luigi's Mansion, Mansions. Captain Falcon Amiibo, Own custom F Zero Maps and so on and so forth. It would be if Mario Maker and Minecraft had a child. What do you guys think of the idea???
More difficult than Kaizo Mario?????????. I never thought that I'd see the day. There is no way that such a level can be beaten in Mario Maker without Save States..............
@Quorthon Please enlighten me. At what point in my comment did I say that all Software sells Hardware. Reply ONLY when you find the specific point that I said that...
As long as the Wii U and 3DS turn in a profit, then I'm sure that that should be good enough for Nintendo. Just remember, Software, 9 times out of 10, sells Hardware...
F-Zero X for me. The reason being, it would be a great way to see how well recieved it is on 3DS, before seeing about a brand new release on a home console, Wii U or Nintendo's next generation console in about 2-3 years time. I'd leave Pokemon Snap for the Wii U, either that, or a sequel on Wii U. I think that the HD visuals on Wii U would give it justice and updated with all 700+ Pokemon and new areas based on the newer X and Y and other Pokemon games released after Pokemon Snap's original release...
@shonenjump86 It's £17.99 on the Wii U eshop and it's like £30+ in my local GAME store. So if price was a factor, then this is definitely the version to get. If price wasn't a factor, then here's your chance I guess...
PLEASE ANSWER-I'm thinking of getting this and I have a question. Is this a good game to start off with by someone that hasn't played a Kirby game ever and has played New Super Mario Bros Wii??? I'm talking in terms of control and difficulty, as in is it an easy game, a decent difficulty game that beginners can learn and improve or hard and not recommended for beginners. I'm asking on behalf of myself and my brother(who's birthday is coincidentally today.)
