To be honest, I never thought I would get into this series. The fact that XC was a few years old and I played it on VC didn't really help. But man did I love it. After playing X for about 200 hours I was definitely a fan. Looking forward to this and hoping it'd be some kind of hybrid of the aforementioned two.
That's just tasteless in my opinion. A company is always in for the money, sure, but this is just too much. Hopefully Nintendo will come up with something that ends this kind of exploits. The fact that big N didn't provide enough is another thing...
I pre-ordered from two different places and didn't get my piece. Slightly disappointed at the time but on the other hand I have enough technology under my TV already.
I'm pretty sure I've ordered something from them, and it was all good. That price though is something to be wary about. I'm doubtful about them having that kind of stock at launch. If I had the money, I'd probably take it but since I don't... Good luck.
The machine itself fascinates me but I want resist the urge to buy it too soon. I'm busy with PS4 and after Wii U I'm kinda cautious. As much as I loved Wii U it didn't really pay off to get it early on.
I bought my Wii U a month or two after launch for 249 euros :/ It's the white basic model but I never saw the 32 GB version a sensible option anyways. I had a hard drive laying around so it worked out fine.
Egyptian AC would actually be quite cool. I'm already bored with the current AC setting although I loved Black Flag and 100%'d it. Even through the awful fps' on Wii U
Thanks for your awesome efforts Jools, I hope you and the other guys the best in the future! Passion unfortunately doesn't always pay the bills but there are many people among gamers that appreciate that kind of drive.
I'd like to give this game another chance. I quit when I got in a situation where I just couldn't beat some enemies and didn't have an earlier save file so I was basically stuck. I think the whole surreal thing has been made better in some more recent games but of course this is a classic.
I still remember the very day I unpacked my precious Wii U. It was so cool and full of potential. Not greatest of successes but I'm glad I was there and enjoyed my little U. I won't be getting rid of it though. I'll keep it close and cherish the memories.
This modern space era brought us conveniences like the interwebs, so it's not really a problem for me. People these days tend to watch things when they please. Streaming live is great and all, but they're gonna have a lot of coverage no matter the time they choose I'm just gonna watch it while I'm having my morning coffee.
Underwhelming to say the least. PS Store currently has a black friday sale (even in europe) that makes this seem like a joke. Nintendo should really step up their game when it comes to pricing.
The game was surprisingly fun for what it is. Unfortunately it's also an example of an open-world game that feels kind of "empty" if you know what I mean. Not that much to do except for the massive amount of collectibles.
Yeah I noticed The stop next to my house gave about 7 normal balls and some great and ultraballs as well. And the amount of Pokemons was crazy when I went to buy groceries. Not sure whether this should be permanent but it's fun for now.
Nice picks! I love horror and I've played most mainstream games as well as some indie stuff. It hurts me how underrated Project Zero 5 is. I enjoyed it so much even though it repeats itself. I've seen most endings and some of them are so beautiful. I am a huge fan of asian horror so... yeah. It's a good game.
I think I'll give Ice Station Z a try. I'm busy with Fallout 4 (quite late, I know) and halloween discounts but I need to give my good ol' 3DS some love.
Obviously some compromises were made when it comes to visuals but otherwise I'm slightly interested if the price is right. 10 bucks max and I will check it out. Wish it had more The Thing vibe though. I got over the whole zombie thing somewhere around the third season of The Walking Dead.
I just got PS4 and already looking forward to NX. I don't care about the sales, I just want to play all the interesting games. My biggest problem will be whether I'll buy the new Zelda for Wii U or NX. Life's good.
I'm slightly interested in this. I really look forward to some new "real" Metroid but I'm not as mad about them doing something else like some people. There are enough games coming out all the time on several platforms. Chill people and broaden your view and you see your life become easier :'D
I pre-ordered mine from Discshop. It still has a place-holder price which is pretty high but I really hope I actually get the thing. There are multiple ways to play most of these games but I really want this piece of gaming history
I'd buy it if it's reasonably priced. DS2 was probably the only game I've played with screen tearing so bad it actually injured the overall experience. Hope it's not that all over again.
I honestly think many developers sincerely mean these words but but... It's the architecture and install base thing all over again. I hope for the best but we'll see.
I kinda liked the first one. More than any recent GTA to be honest. Sure it was rough around the edges but it was an ok entry and I'm sort of looking forward to the next one on some platform.
That is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen If that actually worked on SNES I would pay big bucks for it but no. It's Wii U or nothing so we'll see.
I only saw the dubbed version of DuckTales when I was a child but I enjoyed his work on DT Remastered. Rest in peace, mister. Quite the journey you had.
This will be a waste of money but I'm not sure if I can resist buying at least some. I like to look at things like game or album covers and cards would be the same thing. And it's Zelda.
Thanks to those humble friends I FINALLY got to try this series out and I'm really loving it now. Shantae is a great character and the overall game design is awesome. I thought it would be just a standard sidescroller but fortunately I wasn't completely right on that one.
To me personally a christmas launch is not necessary. I will buy the console for myself and to be honest march is just fine. The good thing is that after the whole Wii U thing I'm still interested about their new product. I just want to see it first and be confident about there being enough games. Not necessarily third party but games generally. I've been happy about the amount of cool indie games on Wii U and that is something I'd like to see on NX as well.
I haven't downloaded SteamWorld Heist yet but I'm usually quite late on these things since I always have games to play and/or some things to do. I loved SteamWorld Dig for both its gameplay AND visuals (big up to the graphics department) and will no doubt enjoy this new game as well. Well done Image&Form. Hope you guys can survive in the game (not sure if pun intended) and develop more games for us to enjoy.
That's so close to being tacky but manages to be awesome instead. Not that interested in the console though. @FX102A At least my european (SCN) model has a red one.
My physical copy of Tropical Freeze arrived today. It's so entertaining I can't believe it. I'd say it's better than Lego City. So Wind Waker and Donkey are the best from this bunch to me. We still need 3D world as a Selects title and I'm good.
I really liked the demo from last year. Colourful, smooth and really made me smile for no apparent reason. I'm getting it for sure if the price isn't awful.
I'm not overly excited but I'm definitely going to download and keep it in my phone. Nice to see Finland included, thanks! (Edit. Um, actually it's not included in the app list. Not sure how this goes then)

Re: Guide: Everything We Now Know About the Nintendo Switch
I just can't resist that design. It's so classy and can't wait. It will probably have an over-priced launch but when it's affordable, it's mine!
