It's just another size. It shouldn't affect sales save for all the people who wanted a bigger screen. And besides, who is telling you you have to get the bigger size at launch? Here's a hint. Save your money for the Wii U if you want it, then you can think about upgrading your 3DS. The XL is not a new system, you won't miss anything by not picking it up a launch.
The tier option is currently the biggest theory. And frankly, the best. Miiverse looks more like a Facebook wall (I suppose? I don't use Facebook lol) than a chat board. So moderation doesn't seem to bad. Especially if PMs are moderation free.
Also, I've used a Moderated fourm. It was one of the most pleasant fourm experiences I've had while on the Internet.
Ding, dong, the codes are dead. Friend codes dead. Nintendo said. Ding, dong, abysmal codes are dead! It's time for a new bend, 12 digits end. PLZ BE MAH FREND! Ding, dong, Nintendo's got a head!
Wait, if we follow the Logic of the Molyneux cycle, him saying that something will be lackluster will mean that it ends up being great, right? I mean, he says each Fable game will be great. Then he goes on to criticize his efforts as a failure. Not the most reliable man to listen to.
This is what shows the inferiority of lesser nerds. A gamer that can't adapt is a gamer left to die. ...Except with iDevices. That's a devolution there.
In all seriousness, I've never even bothered to take the stand out. All you people who really have issues with the controls I deeply pity. Because this game is absolutely amazing. But then again, hey, if pain will stop you from doing what you love, don't do it. I pity, but I don't sympathize. After all, I don't share your pain.
"We can only hope that this open invitation for fan input doesn't devolve into the complete crash and burn of RUNNER 2 and future CommanderVideo projects."
...Why would you say this?! Cries at memory of MML3
Well considering that KI got quite a bit of negativity, I'm not suprised. A shame. How people can give KI lower than a 8 and call themselves reviewers I'll never know, as that is the MINIMAL score for quality that it deserves.
@C-Olimar: I heard about them. Mostly through material related to video games, such as the riots being blamed on GTA, and ect. Oh mainstream media. You make it SO easy to hate you...
Ok, they had their chance. Time to burn the UK to the ground.
...That was a joke. Please don't take it seriously. That would be awkward.
Also: I have had NO PROBLEM with controls even while moving. I mean, I can WALK AROUND and play this game at the same time. Unjustified control hate is unjustified. All you people on the fence: This game is like a 3D Smash Bros. You don't need any other incentive than that to buy it. It's amazing. GODLY EVEN.
Then again, KI:U has been described countless times as a 3D SSB. So I can justify my own not-serious attack because anyone who does not find SSB amazing is an awful person. Opinions are not allowed.
@astrotriforce " I was really surprised to hear all this talk of the StreetPass as if it was a feature... I think there's something I don't know about... I've still yet to click on the Mii Plaza so maybe that's what all the talk is about?"
Umm... Considering that StreetPass IS an important feature...yes, you're missing something. You wouldn't have gotten any Miis if you never opened the Plaza. -_-
Kid Icarus Uprising needs to be on the top of that list. Rating it #6 is criminal. Easily better than any downloadable game. (I'm looking at you, Pushmo.)
DO NOT QUESTION OUR RED LOGO'D OVERLORDS! THEY'LL SEND THEIR NES (Nintendo Extermination Service) ASSASIANS AFTER US!
In all seriousness, while putting OMAM out would be a good idea, who would have time to play it with Uprising coming out tomarrow? If anyone says that they would, I will come to your house in the middle of the night... And make you eat tofu dipped in miso on a stick. Be frightened.
Uuuuuuugggggghhhhhh. God, why are the people who care about Ninty's download service so annoying? I mean each week there's always something to complain about.
I still haven't beaten Sacred Stones. Eh. I'll get back to it. After I get back to Rayman Origins. And Epic Mickey. And Metroid Prime Triliogy. And all the Prof. Layton games.
That Destructoid review made it sound like the controls were a huge unplayable train wreck. From all the reviews that don't focus on one issue and dont beat the dead horse, it sounds like it's not too much of a problem.
But then again Jim Sterling is known for over exaggerating. MK7- 5/10- not original enough. MW3- 9/10

Those that feel pressured into doing so, STOP IT.

Yeah guys. It's been confirmed that the US version WILL come with an AC adapter. (Presumably the PAL version as well)

STOP SPOILING GAWSH.
So...It seems there WILL be some good announcements...
Re: Catch the North American Nintendo Direct Live Here
Expect absolutely nothing to be talked about.
Now you can't be disappointed! There's no way you can.
Re: Catch the North American Nintendo Direct Live Here
Stop expecting new game announcements. It's unlikely, and It'll get your hopes up too high...
Wait. I wanna see the rage. Never mind, over-expect guys.
Re: Catch the North American Nintendo Direct Live Here
Best way to avoid disappointment is to stop expecting excitement.
