Re: Feature: A Pokémon Retrospective: Generation 4 - 2006-2010

Gosh, gen 4 was awesome. So many memories. I just love Platinum so much, can't way to go back to Sinnoh again. I had a lot of fun with Battle Revolution too. The first time I saw the trailer with a Pikachu using Discharge at the beautiful Waterfall Colosseum... wow. In my mind, that game is as gorgeous as we see Pokkén now. And Mystery Dungeon, what a great story. @HandheldGuru97, you should really play Sky, it's so good!

The Badge Arcade is such a cool little app. I'm loving it, and my Home Menu looks great, even without spending a single penny. I played Shuffle and Rumble for nothing more than a week, but had for while doing it. Also, I've considered buying Pokémon Battle Trozei on the eshop just because I played Shuffle. It's also worth noting that there paid Rumble games on both Wii U and 3DS, and I guess there's Picross on 3DS too.

Re: Splatoon Bundle Boosts Wii U Sales in Japan as Project X Zone 2 Struggles

Tulio517

If I were a japanese guy about to buy a Wii U, I'd be really mad that there's a bundle with just Splatoon in my region, and another with Splatoon AND Smash in the west. It's kinda like the 1Tb PS4 for me here. I want one, it's been released in Europe, but NA only gets that horrible CoD bundle. I've decided to wait until they stop pretending we don't know what's going on overseas.

Re: Feature: What We Expect from Nintendo Direct - 12th November

Tulio517

Masuda tweeted a link to the japanese Direct. It's unlikely that it was because of Super Mystery Dungeon, that game has been out in Japan for months. Fingers crossed for a Z reveal, or at least some Pokkén update. But I'm keeping the hype under control for those. What I do seriously want is Smash news! All aboard! Choo choo!

Re: Feature: A Pokémon Retrospective: Generation 3 - 2002 to 2006

@Serebii Yeah, you've got a point. I actually like it a lot. Sapphire was my first Pokémon game, I guess I'm a little bit biased.

On a side note, I've never played the Game Cube games, had forgotten about the Shadow Pokémon. Nice to see that Mewtwo in Pokkén being, maybe, a little reference.

Re: Yo-Kai Watch Will Be The Next Pokémon, Claims Viz Media

Tulio517

Those claims are untrue. But I hope the game does well in the west. I enjoyed the demo. The combat is somewhat confusing in the beginning, and the mini-game stuff is kinda dull, but it's fun. Definitely not Pokémon fun, but Gamefreak can learn a trick or two from level 5.

Re: Talking Point: Five Key Challenges Nintendo Faces with the NX

Tulio517

Great points in the article.
NX will need a strong and diverse launch lineup, and not just made of ports from existing games. How about a true amiibo focused game at launch? A good Pokémon game, not a childish spin off like Rumble U? A dazzling 3D Mario? SM3DW was great, but too safe. Put in the mix one or two more high quality games, a couple of remasters, a not so distant Mario Kart release and it's pretty solid.

I hope NX is at least as powerful as PS4, regardless of what concept it is. Nintendo can still jump in the 3rd party bandwagon, but everything has to be right this time.
Make a decent and competitive online infrastructure. This is so important!

I hope Nintendo manages to become relevant again not just as a fan, but for the industry as a whole. It's really sad how it's often left out of the conversation between gamers and media, even worse among non gamers.

Re: Mario Memories: Pre-Internet Timeline Confusion and the Joys of Computer Club

Tulio517

It happened to me too. The first game I've ever played is Super Mario World. So, when I eventually played Super Mario Bros, SMB2 (Doki Doki) and SMB3, all of them felt boring in comparison. "Where's Yoshi?! The flying cape?! Where did they hide the colors?". I did grew fond of'em all eventually, but Super Mario World is always gonna be my number 1.

Re: Nintendo Aims to Avoid 'Notorious' Smart Device Business Models With Its Releases

Tulio517

@hillyarb Well, there is a Pokémon TCG app on iOS already. Also, The Pokémon Company operates in a fairly independent way, and is very protective. Like in Yoshi's Wooly World (and others) where the only amiibo not compatible are Pokémon. So don't expect Nintendo marketing mobile Pokémon games as their own, otherwise they'd already call Shuffle their "first mobile game".

Re: Nintendo Confirms Splatoon Tower Mode Release and Live Nintendo Treehouse Broadcast

Tulio517

I don't think the Skyscraper stage has anything to do with the new mode or the update. This trailer for Splatfest has been on for a long time. Plus, it wouldn't make sense to release this stage before the totem/lake stage (forgot the name), since it was already revealed at the Direct and has somewhat of a presence in October Valley. The skyscraper stage should be the last one.

Re: Two More New Weapons Coming To Splatoon Tomorrow

Tulio517

@ricklongo @Rect_Pola It is actually on disc, otherwise people wouldn't be able to data mine it (right?). Also, I don't really leave my Wii U on sleep mode, and get the weapons and stages as soon as quick-opening the game, so that background download would have to be super fast xD
Besides, the idea of the digital download having this content cut is just weird, mine is digital btw.

Re: Talking Point: E3 Highlighted Nintendo's Development Shift Towards NX, and Away from Wii U

Tulio517

@FragRed You've got a point. But VC's lack of games on Wii U is also (mainly, to be honest) from their own games. Look at how they basically just started putting N64 games. I've wanted to play F-Zero X (GX is just a dream by now) on the game pad for a long time, and I can't! Don't know much about sales, but I guess Nintendo VC games usually sell good enough to return the costs, right? All in all, I'm just disappointed.

Re: Talking Point: E3 Highlighted Nintendo's Development Shift Towards NX, and Away from Wii U

Tulio517

They should put all the VC games available at launch for NX. Nes, Snes, N64, GAME CUBE, even Wii. VC on Wii U has been ridiculous, it's like they don't want our money. Also, not paying a fourth time for Super Mario World would be great, thanks.
Also, I hope there is backwards compatibility, but a strong one. Like, making as much Wii U eshop games available on NX, at least all the first party games are a need. The game pad support could be troublesome though...
As for the 3DS, there's at least one big hit coming to it, aside from already announced games. The final game(s) of Pokémon's 6th gen will be on the 3DS. Heck, maybe even 7th gen will be on 3DS. Wii U is the real problem here.
