@WreckItRyan You basically summed up all of my pain regarding this game, well said.
Though I also wonder what it will be like for people living in small town areas that want to catch legendary pokémon. It's not always easy to get into the bigger cities, especially for a luxury like catching pokémon.
Seeing that made me feel like I judged Sticker Star too harshly when I last played it but I just remember how frustrating it was. Maybe it got way better half way through or something. Either way I think I'll get it again and give it another shot. 😀
Wow, Rowlet is really cute! Definitely gonna pick it as my starter. XD The hype for these games is really building Loved the look of the legendaries too.
I think this was my first entry to the mystery dungeon games but Explorers of Time brought me to tears; it was so good and my favorite by far, lol
Super Mystery Dungeon really improved on a lot of the mechanics and I loved the story as well but I felt like there was a lot more depth in the "explorers" games.
Also the dungeon sizes are different. The original games had much bigger dungeons (more floors) but they got really annoying because of that. Super mystery dungeon has got it just right in my opinion.
Pokémon Silver because it was the first Pokémon game I ever owned, then SoulSilver because it let me relive those memories and it was amazing having the Pokémon follow me around like they did in Yellow. Lastly I'd say Y was my most recent favorite because I loved the Pokémon and the story; the new online functionality was amazing too and even the anime has been really fun to watch.
I've always had a hard time deciding on which game from the Paper Mario series was my favorite but I think I've decided now that it was Super Paper Mario on the Wii. It just had so much character and the mechanics were so fun. I just honestly loved the whole game.
The best Donkey Kong game in my opinion. I've been waiting for this game for so long, it's a huge part of my childhood. I can't wait to get back from the Easter holiday and download this game. Now if only we could have Banjo-Kazooie and Tooie on the 3DS my life would be complete.
This game looks awful at the moment; however as people have pointed out that it's still in early stages I'll be keeping an eye on it to see how it progresses.
Wait...it's not being delayed? Wait...it's gonna come out earlier? On the Wii U...? Wow, lol That's actually really surprising for a change. I mean...it's not a game I'm interested in but it certainly is cool to see it's not being delayed or cancelled.
Doesn't effect me, but that doesn't mean I agree with it. Between this and controlling who I add as a friend on Miiverse I'm getting really fed up. Something needs to change.
@FragRed I'm with you man; I just don't understand their decisions sometimes. I guess it wouldn't be Nintendo if they made predictable and understandable decisions though, huh? Lol
Got a 3DS and an XL and now this is announced. I have such mixed emotions. I'm just not sure whether to be angry or happy about this. I just can't get it and that really annoys me. I simply can't justify paying up for it when I already have two consoles that do the same thing.
I guess they can be useful in certain situations. I used to pirate games but I stopped a long time ago when I started to get enough money to buy the games I wanted. I think these devices are a good way of preserving the history of our hobby though. It can really help to keep things alive in ther etro scene and maybe even introduce some of the younger audiences to the way games used to be. That's just my personal opinion though.
It looks like there's a lot of pain in that picture, lol I'm so hyed for smash bros. I'm really hoping I have enough to get it for the 3DS and Wii U but I probably won't be able to.
As it comes closer to the release date I'm finding it harder to decide which one to get. Probably Wii U though so I can get some friends around for some tournaments when I get back to uni, lol
I was tied between Super Mario World, Galaxy 2 and Sunshine but I voted for galaxy 2 because I loved what a seemingly unique approach it took and it just felt so awesome to play.
I used to have all those games at one point in time. Needless to say, I wish I still did. I loved everything about those games because they were all fun to play, had excellent soundtracks and felt very unique. So much nostalgia, lol XD
Hahaha, wow. I would totally have a Slowpoke and a Munchlax if I was in the Pokémon world and we'd just chill all day listening to tunes and whatnot. XD
I think another reasons it falls behind is because the games also take SO LONG to be released. And if I'm being honest, I'm really not interested in anything that's been released apart from the zelda games.
Ranting ahead...
Give me Donkey Kong 64, Banjo-Kazooie/Tooie, Conkurs Bad Fur Day, etc. and I'll literally cry with hapiness as I hand over my money.
...Oh wait...just forget it. I give up. I realize now that I'll never see either a remake, re-release or another Donkey Kong game in the 64 style again. Sorry for the rant. :/
The VC definitely needs some sort of price restructuring. In my opinion nothing should be over £9.99. Heck, even that seems steep. Can't see it happening though. So much missed potential.
On another note... I'll always be happy if the prices are converted for each currency. (So everyone pays the same amount.) Just because I'm living in the UK doesn't mean I'm rich. A lot of companies don't seem to understand that.
@DestinyMan Not sure if this has already been mentioned but the one game at a time thing could easily be bypassed by having multiple game profiles/saves on the Wii U that get transferred back and forth between the amiibos and the console.
If my friends didn't all live so far away from me I really wouldn't mind, but they do live far away and I can't play local co-op with them. However, during term-time they'll be my neighbors so it won't be that bad I guess. I might be able to get my sister or my dad to play the game with me if it really comes down to it anyways. Basically, I personally don't mind the lack of online co-op but I do feel it's something that should be/have been implemented.
Man, I remember when consoles were £250. Good to see the price so low now. On the other hand though; the price of games has skyrocketed over the years.
You used to be able to get games for about £30 new and now they're around £50-£60 and that's not even special editions.
If I were to combine the amount of games I own for the 3DS and Wii U it would probably be less than what I've owned for any single console ever.
Needless to say I will be very annoyed if they announce another console within the next few years.
However; there have been a lot of announcements lately for both consoles and more and more people have boarded the hype train (myself included) so things could seriously pick up over the next two years.
Edit:
Just for clarity; I own around ~60 games per console. 3DS and Wii U though would be somewhere around ~30.

Re: Rumour: Intelligent Systems Is Working On New Paper Mario For Wii U
I really hope it's as good as the first Paper Mario on the N64. That was the best in my opinion, next to Super Paper Mario.
As long as it's not as bad as Paper Mario Sticker Star, I don't mind.
Re: Editorial: Paper Mario is 15 Years Old Today, and Provides a Reminder of Nintendo's Wonderful Whimsy
