I completed the first game on PS3 but picked up the double pack for Wii U. I actually haven't had a chance to play Bayonetta 2 though. I want to clear a few of my "now-playing" titles and then enjoy the hell out of it
I was tempted to pick up the special edition of this but I'd like to find out a little more about it first. It does look fun but I'd hope there's quite a bit of depth to the gameplay.
Wow, that is one pricey map pack. I really hope the all-in-one SE becomes obtainable in Europe because I really don't want to have to download Revelations :-/
sigh I really wish my older brother didn't sell his SNES. We had one of these and a lot of great games. I've been saying "I really need to get a SNES again!" for a long time now.
I hope this game will be ace. I love the Tekken series, the gameplay is incredible so I have always had high-hopes for Pokkén. Like I said in another thread though, I just hope some more games modes will be announced.
I do hope Nintendo keeps Streetpass going. I understand the need for the company to "keep with the times" but really, I hope Nintendo just stick to what they do best; making good games.
I think the bundle is being sold at a reasonable price. It costs €10 more than the game by itself and comes with a soundtrack CD. The statement regarding Zelda Wii U is odd, though.
This is great, I already have every Pokémon but I really like event distributions. I just wish all events were carried out via Nintendo Network. Stores exclusives are not convenient at all. I like in Ireland and had to ask a friend to get me a Hoopa cod from GAME. They gave me a bad code - twice!
I'm already happy with the solid games on the horizon for 3DS.
Final Fantasy Explorers, Yo-Kai Watch, Stella Glow, Dragon Quest VII & VIII, Fire Emblem Fates, Bravely Second, Hyrule Warriors...that's a lot for me to look forward to!
Xenoblade Chronicles X will keep me busy on Wii U for ages and then there will be Star Fox Zero and Zelda, so I'm already happy
The Missingno glitch is truly bizarre and of course it made some of the other myths believable. I still occasionally press down and B when I throw a Pokéball However, I never successfully exploited the legitimate Mew glitch.
Yep, I think the text could do with being a little larger. Also, the use of lyrics in the OST is bothering me. Not only are there the really questionably NLA themes but the "main" theme drowns out the conversations during some of the more important missions. I'm loving the game but these are issues for me.
@AlexSora89 Interchangeable parts and fairly pose-able figures which are very well made. Also, they're a Japanese company so there's bound to be an increase in the price to make consumers pay for import taxes in one way or another.
I have the Wind Waker Link (I still haven't opened it up, but I will someday) and the quality really is excellent.
I'm delighted with the inclusion of Bayonetta! I didn't vote for her because I honestly didn't think Nintendo would allow her to be in Smash Bros. I was pleasantly surprised! I'll download Cloud when I get home today
I never knew this existed until now. I enjoy his videos, they're a good laugh. This game actually looks pretty fun too, so I may give it a try sometime
@rishisquid I unlocked a music-based mini-game by completing some of the Inkling Amiibo challenges. I guess the other two Amiibo have a mini-game tied to them too.
I wasn't aware of this patent but it was a wise move from Namco! I'd like to see less loading times across all consoles but if this expiring means developers can be more creative with loading screens then so be it.
@Shiryu I haven't listened to any of it either. It will be another part of the experience to immerse ourselves in. Not long to wait now I should have my special edition next week sometime!
I'm really looking forward to this game reaching Europe! It looks quirky and fun. If there is that urge to "Befriend them all!" I can see myself playing this a lot
I got Xenoblade Chronicles soon after it launched in Europe, but moved to South America not long after and never really got far into it, maybe 30 hours or so. I recently restarted my adventure and have once again reached that 30 hour mark.
With X coming very soon, I ask myself should I take on both quests at once?
I think late 2016/early 2017 isn't too unrealistic. Nintendo is being incredibly secretive about this console. I think it may very well merge console and handheld gaming and carry over support for the Wii U gamepad and/or 3DS for input alongside a new controller of "classic" description.
I hope to see a big reveal and a live conference at the next E3 as opposed to revealing via Nintendo Direct.
I'm interested to see what kind of physical rewards there will be. However, I do worry about rewards only being offered for the purchase of digital titles. I absolutely buy physical when possible.
I'm avoiding reading the review for fear of anything remotely spoiler-y. However, I'm not surprised to see this get a 9/10! I guess it didn't get a perfect 10 due to the complexity of things. This is going to be an absorbing experience. I'm sure there will be many times when we all just stop playing and admire the world we are playing in.
@invictus4000 Haha, that's great! I jokingly told my wife that we would be having our last conversations for quite some time this week. I've pre-ordered the special edition but will have to wait a few extra days for it to arrive. Hopefully I'll have the game by next Monday or Tuesday.
No external HD but I'll delete the Metroid Prime Trilogy to make space for the packs later Enjoy your dedicated X day!
I'd never pay anything close to that much for a watch. If it tells the time correctly, fits comfortably and looks good to me, then it will do. My current watch cost around €80 and it will do me for many more years I hope
@pabloff9 @PorllM I guess what I really meant was that with such an emphasis on digital downloads and digital sales, the internal HD on the Wii U really should have been much larger. 32 GB just doesn't cut it these days. I know there are some options but they have to be formatted to work exclusively with a Wii U so looking at it that way, Nintendo could have missed a chance to sell their own Wii U external HDs.

Re: North American Roy amiibo Pre-Order Time Confirmed, Exclusive to GameStop
I'll definitely pick up Roy. The scramble for Amiibo has certainly calmed here in Ireland, although there are still a few "rare" ones.
Re: Feature: Why We're Still Playing... Bayonetta 1 & 2
I completed the first game on PS3 but picked up the double pack for Wii U. I actually haven't had a chance to play Bayonetta 2 though. I want to clear a few of my "now-playing" titles and then enjoy the hell out of it
Re: Video: Square Enix Pitches a Famous Legacy in Final Fantasy Explorers Trailer
I was tempted to pick up the special edition of this but I'd like to find out a little more about it first. It does look fun but I'd hope there's quite a bit of depth to the gameplay.
Re: Dragon Quest VII Set for a Summer Release in North America
It would be nice if random battles were at least optional as opposed to completely removed :-/
Re: Fire Emblem Fates New Nintendo 3DS XL Model Confirmed, Along With DLC Details
Wow, that is one pricey map pack. I really hope the all-in-one SE becomes obtainable in Europe because I really don't want to have to download Revelations :-/
Re: The 3DS Virtual Console Pokémon Titles Won't Support Restore Points
That's fine, considering you can save anywhere except for in battle. They're keeping the feel of a Pokémon game intact by doing this.
Re: Hardware Classics: Nintendo Super Scope
sigh I really wish my older brother didn't sell his SNES. We had one of these and a lot of great games. I've been saying "I really need to get a SNES again!" for a long time now.

Re: Random: Eager Super Mario Maker Creator Shares Mario's Lost World, a 38 Stage Extravaganza
Super Mario Maker is really fun but some of the user levels can be mind-numbingly frustrating.
It has been a few months since I created a level but here's my profile, I hope you guys enjoy my creations
Re: Pokkén Tournament Will be Picking Fights on 18th March
I hope this game will be ace. I love the Tekken series, the gameplay is incredible so I have always had high-hopes for Pokkén. Like I said in another thread though, I just hope some more games modes will be announced.

I do hope Nintendo keeps Streetpass going. I understand the need for the company to "keep with the times" but really, I hope Nintendo just stick to what they do best; making good games.
Re: Chandelure Will Be the Next Pokkén Tournament Fighter
Haha, awesome choice! Stunfisk next?
Re: Pokkén Tournament Modes and Details Emerge
Some kind of a story mode or Pokken League would be welcome. If it ends up just being an arcade mode I'll be a bit disappointed.
Re: Talking Point: Considering amiibo Features and the Reality of 'Physical DLC'
I think the bundle is being sold at a reasonable price. It costs €10 more than the game by itself and comes with a soundtrack CD. The statement regarding Zelda Wii U is odd, though.
Re: Video: The Pokémon Company Builds Anniversary Hype and Confirms Monthly Mythical Pokémon Distributions
This is great, I already have every Pokémon but I really like event distributions. I just wish all events were carried out via Nintendo Network. Stores exclusives are not convenient at all. I like in Ireland and had to ask a friend to get me a Hoopa cod from GAME. They gave me a bad code - twice!
Re: Gallery: This Is What A Dragon Quest Convenience Store Looks Like
Man, I really wish Dragon Quest was popular like this in Europe I'd spend ages looking around a shop like this!
Re: Garchomp, Braixen and Mewtwo Will Join the Fight in Pokkén Tournament
Ace!
Re: SEGA Reveals the Logo for Sonic the Hedgehog's 25th Anniversary
I just want a true 2D Sonic game with Dr. Robotnik, not Eggman.
Re: The First 4 Figures Amaterasu Reminds Us of Why We Love Ōkami
Absolutely gorgeous. Way out of my price range though.
Re: Another Fighter Character for Pokkén Tournament Will Be Revealed Next Week
Only twelve so far, so this announcement brings us up to thirteen :-/
Re: Another Fighter Character for Pokkén Tournament Will Be Revealed Next Week
How many Pokémon have been announced for the roster in total? I would hope that there would be a healthy amount of playable characters in this.
Re: Editorial: Let's Make 2016 a Year of Nintendo Optimism
I'm already happy with the solid games on the horizon for 3DS.
Final Fantasy Explorers, Yo-Kai Watch, Stella Glow, Dragon Quest VII & VIII, Fire Emblem Fates, Bravely Second, Hyrule Warriors...that's a lot for me to look forward to!
Xenoblade Chronicles X will keep me busy on Wii U for ages and then there will be Star Fox Zero and Zelda, so I'm already happy
Re: Random: Wall Mounting Old Games Has Never Been Better
This is better than some people literally wanting hundreds of copies of a single game. At least these are still easily accessed for play.
Re: Let's Debunk Some Of Pokémon's Biggest Myths Ahead Of This Year's Virtual Console Resurrection
The Missingno glitch is truly bizarre and of course it made some of the other myths believable. I still occasionally press down and B when I throw a Pokéball However, I never successfully exploited the legitimate Mew glitch.
Re: Editorial: Xenoblade Chronicles X Has Tiny Text - Time for an Update?
Yep, I think the text could do with being a little larger. Also, the use of lyrics in the OST is bothering me. Not only are there the really questionably NLA themes but the "main" theme drowns out the conversations during some of the more important missions. I'm loving the game but these are issues for me.
Re: Feature: The Biggest 3DS Games of 2016
So many games. Fire Emblem, Bravely Second, FF Explorers, Yo Kai Watch, Stella Glow....I'm not sure I can keep up!
Re: Video: Final Fantasy Explorers Multiplayer Trailer Shows That Teamwork Pays Off
This game looks ace. I'll have to look for the special edition soon!
Re: GameStop Opens Preorders for Majora's Mask Link Nendoroid and Fox McCloud Figures

Re: Masato Maegawa Talks Shoot 'em Up Designs and Sin and Punishment
I've been looking for Sin & Punishment on Wii for a while now. I could see the Wii U or 3DS being great for a shoot 'em up like this.
Re: Bayonetta Confirmed as New Challenger in Super Smash Bros.
I'm delighted with the inclusion of Bayonetta! I didn't vote for her because I honestly didn't think Nintendo would allow her to be in Smash Bros. I was pleasantly surprised! I'll download Cloud when I get home today
Re: The New Shovel Knight Update Just Went Out on Wii U in Europe, 3DS Update Slightly Delayed

Re: Fascinating Patent Shows Nintendo Portable Utilising Free-Form Screen Technology
This is certainly interesting. However, my first concern is "Would I HAVE to get my screen all grubby and fingerprint-filled?".
Re: Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures Looks Set for Europe on 10th December
I never knew this existed until now. I enjoy his videos, they're a good laugh. This game actually looks pretty fun too, so I may give it a try sometime
Re: Tatsumi Kimishima Discusses His Focus on Nintendo's Future and Developing Talent
I really hope he backs up what he says. He seems to have a long-term goal and that's not a bad thing at all!
Re: You'll Now Be Able To Play Mini-Games During Loading Times

Re: Digital Foundry Gives Xenoblade Chronicles X a Thumbs Up
As long as the game doesn't crash, I don't care what the frame-rate is! Give me a stable 30fps and 720p over game-crashes any day.
Re: Feature: There and Back Again - A Xenoblade Tale
@Shiryu I haven't listened to any of it either. It will be another part of the experience to immerse ourselves in. Not long to wait now I should have my special edition next week sometime!

Re: Feature: There and Back Again - A Xenoblade Tale
By the way, @Shiryu, this was a great read. I wonder if the soundtrack in XBX will stand up to the one in XC?
Re: Feature: There and Back Again - A Xenoblade Tale

Re: Triple Power Coming to Super Mario Maker With Paper Mario Costume
@TheRegginator I got all the other event Mystery Mushrooms last night, so at this moment, they are all still available
I really like these sprites and the fun behind them but Luigi is really being pushed to the back in this particular instance!
Re: Rumour: NX Set for 2016 Release With Nintendo Targeting 20 Million Shipped Units
I think late 2016/early 2017 isn't too unrealistic. Nintendo is being incredibly secretive about this console. I think it may very well merge console and handheld gaming and carry over support for the Wii U gamepad and/or 3DS for input alongside a new controller of "classic" description.

Re: Random: Check Out the Most Expensive Super Mario Watch in the World
@chiefeagle02 That is absolutely glorious!
I'd never pay anything close to that much for a watch. If it tells the time correctly, fits comfortably and looks good to me, then it will do. My current watch cost around €80 and it will do me for many more years I hope
Re: Nintendo Download: 3rd December (Europe)
Just the data packs for XCX and I'll try Pokémon Picross out too.
Re: Nintendo of Europe Launches Its Cyber Deals Weekend With Four Major eShop Discounts
@pabloff9 @PorllM I guess what I really meant was that with such an emphasis on digital downloads and digital sales, the internal HD on the Wii U really should have been much larger. 32 GB just doesn't cut it these days. I know there are some options but they have to be formatted to work exclusively with a Wii U so looking at it that way, Nintendo could have missed a chance to sell their own Wii U external HDs.
Re: Video: The Latest Xenoblade Chronicles X Survival Guide Maps Out How to Use the GamePad
