@shaneoh Because 10 different events is so similar to 50+ unique characters on the roster people with different skill levels would have to master. Get out of here with that.
@shaneoh I've seen a great many stupid things said in my time here on NL. What you said is literally the worst one I've ever heard. Randomized tournaments? Seriously? How are people supposed to put in the time to get good with every single character on the roster? Ridiculous.
I think "strange" and especially "compelling" are words far too strong to describe Miitomo. It's not half as strange as, say, Tomodachi Life. And compelling? Debatable, I guess it's a matter of opinion. I think Miitomo is okay but nothing to scream from the rooftops about.
The first game was fun for a bit, but bored me after a little while. Didn't get the Christmas reskin of the game they released later.
This score seems a little generous. I feel like a 7 is the highest score it should get and even that is veing generous. It's just that at the same time, 6 seems too low.
@Quorthon I just had a look in your profile at the comments you've made and 100% of them are Nintendo doom-and-gloom, putting things down, even positive things, and generally being extremely negative. From what I understand you released some game to positive reviews but virtually no sales and you seem sour about it.
So tell me, why on earth are you still here? Clearly according to you, Nintendo has gone down the craphole, one of which it will apparently never recover from ever. Nintendo has nothing left to offer you. Why stay here then? Why haven't you left for greener pastures.
@MetaRyan Maybe not for Fire Emblen Fates when the DLC only adds a couple maps every week, but for Hyrule Legends every Adventure Map added is hundreds of hours of playtime EACH. So yes.
I'd buy a new entry of this that included all the Poking Men. If this came stateside I suppose I'd buy it at some point, but it wouldn't be a priority.
Well since this app only let's me interact with other people irl who also have the app who I have to add first, and not online friends, this means it'll be pretty useless to me. Nobody around me is very interested in Nintendo.
@zool Um, a review IS an opinion. I'm not sure what more you're expecting out of a review than an opinion. That last thing you said makes absolutely no sense at all.
Nintendo....whenever they give a month they always mean the 31st at 11:59pm, and whenever they give a season for a release like, say, Summer, they actually mean mid-October.
@Olmectron No, it's supposed to be "its" without the apostrophe. You found an error even though English isn't your first language, good job!
I upgraded to the New 3DS for a few reasons: One was my old 3DS's circle pad was falling to pieces due to Smash BUT the main reason was this upgrade in specs. It took ages to do anything on the old 3DS after they added new features with update after update. It was starting to chug a bit.
I actually never had complaints or problems with the old 3DS's 3D effect and used it all the time so the Super Stable 3D wasn't a big selling point for me, and I never really noticed a difference in the 3D once I upgraded. I mean, other than the 3D effect not breaking when I set the system down while open but that is of no real use to me, lol.
I was excited for the exclusive content, too. The SNES VC was the first time I REALLY felt like I was finally getting worthwhile exclusive games. SNES was my childhood and I'd been wanting it on 3DS for years; it's a dream come true!
I could be wrong but I feel like people making fake leaks is a relatively recent thing. At least to this degree. I don't like it at all. I feel like I have to be cynical about everything all the time and I hate it.
I understand people's arguments when they say they prefer the smaller size for better portability, but I'm sorry I simply do not see the appeal of the face plates. They are so jarring to look at and don't cover the whole system; just a bar of it, making it look like a widescreen movie or something.
Been playing the 3DS version since 12am on the dot. It took a second to adjust to the lower framerate, but I love it nonetheless. I wonder when we'll get to use the Windwaker characters. I assume after the main story?
I did not enjoy the Wiimote nearly as much as reagular controls. It was a strange setup and had less buttons to work with, the waggle was imprecise and the wii motion plus could only really be used to its full potential in very limited and specific circumstances. The only time I ever thought the wiimote enhanced my gameplay experience was in the Super Mario Galaxy games, where the pointer picked up starbits. Even the spin attack could have been relegated to a button press on a normal controller.
@XCWarrior That's an awful idea. If those pokemon can be uploaded to the Pokemon Bank it'll make Legendaries in the actual games more worthless than they already are.

Re: Splatoon to Arrive on 3DS Under the Name "Splatoon Legends"
The second I read "Legends" I knew this was the April Fools joke. I think I would have believed it longer if you guys had chosen a better name.
@Cloudslinger They're done adding characters. Maybe they'll be excluwive to the NX port, but for Wii U and 3DS they're done.

Re: You Can Have 1000 Friends In Miitomo, But No More Than That
"Being selective"? Having 1000 friends is anything BUT selective. Unless you were being facetious...
Re: Review: Miitomo (Mobile)
@zool You keep saying it is more than a review but you don't iterate what exactly "more" is. In your mind, what is a review other than an opinion?
And what's more, in this particular instance this isn't even a game at all. It's a social app and everyone's experience with it will vary.

Re: Fooling The World With a 3D Printed NX Controller
I'm so beyond sick and tired of these elaborate fakes that are made just to make headlines and have their 2 minutes of fame.
I wish I didn't have to be so suspicious about everything all the time as a result. I'd rather just not have leaks period.
It's not fun. It's emotionally exhausting.
