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

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?

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.

I hope to see a big reveal and a live conference at the next E3 as opposed to revealing via Nintendo Direct.

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!

@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.
