I know I've downloaded Mega Man 1 and 2 on my 3DS already, but I planned to get all the NES ones anyway - the Golden Mega Man amiibo is just icing on the cake.
After playing as both new characters, I can say I definitely like Corrin. Very interesting moveset. Bayonetta, however, just doesn't impress me. I really like the Clock Tower stage though, which was the majn reason I got that DLC.
Would like that Mega Yarn Yoshi myself, but Toys R Us likes to have exclusives and then not make them available on their website. You'd think the retailer with the Lion's Share of this would make them more available. Especially since it's more expensive than the average amiibo.
Going to grab SMA4, as that's the only SMA game I need to re-obtain on Virtual Console. And I never had an e-Reader, so that's a little something extra to look forward to. Also have Paper Jam pre-ordered, so I'll pick that up today (and pre-order a Roy figure while I'm at it).
@bngrybt: My thoughts exactly. My Ambassador games look and sound just fine; never had any problems like these guys had. But like you said, they're just a little dim on lower light settings. That, and the few that did have Sleep Mode natively (namely Yoshi's Isand, Minish Cap, and Metroid Fusion; don't remember if more do) still support it - you just have to select the option to do so.
I have the game pre-ordered myself, amiibo included. I just like collecting them. To date, I have all the Smash amiibo released so far, as well as the three normal Yarn Yoshis, the Splatoon set, the Super Mario set, and the 8-bit Marios. And I also have Lucas, Shovel Knight, and the Gold Mega Man ordered. I also plan to get the rest of the Smash amiibo and a Mega Yarn Yoshi somewhere down the line.
Do I regret my purchases? No. I think they look nice and I can use them in a variety of games I own, whether it's duking it out against increasingly powerful opponents, unlocking costumes in Mario Maker a bit faster, or getting a few extra pick-me-ups in Hyrule Warriors. And hey, they'll pay off a little more in the future - there's going to be more games down the line that use them, and if they ever release a game similar to Disney Infinity or Skylanders, I'll be set.
I'd say this is a "to each their own" kind of thing. People might call me crazy for buying all those figures (a couple of my friends have already), but as long as all your bills and debts are paid, who's to say what you should spend your money on?
Well, I guess I'll give Hogan's Alley a go, whenever I get another eShop card. I'm saving my side money for the 19th - gonna get me some Lego Ghostbusters, Doc Brown and Cyberman.
And here I almost regretted buying two Steam cards last night. ALMOST.
Anyway, at this point I'd just like to get all of my VC games native on the Wii U menu - I like reading the old manuals for the N64 games since I never had one as a kid. That, and restore points are nice for a couple games (such as DK64). I know Indiana Jones' Greatest Adventures and my Sonic Genesis and Master System games are a pipe dream at this point, but I'd still like to get Super Mario RPG, Yoshi's Story, Super Smash Bros., Mario Kart 64, and Majora's Mask on my Wii U menu with Miiverse support. Maybe some day...
I was more excited last year to get Duck Hunt, and that's bare-bones compared to Galaxy.
Well, ain't that happy but it ain't the end of the world either. I was mainly looking forward to Super Mario RPG to get another SNES game on the Wii U menu with Miiverse support.
At this point, I'm not surprised with how it's going. I'm only salty since I'll probably have to wait another half of a year to get what should've been available at the same time as the rest of the world (or another region at the very least).
Eh, no big deal. As mentioned above, there's probably how many different kinds of armor that cover that up. I'm looking more towards that beautiful environment.
You know what I'd like? To finally get the Wii U VC versions of the games I imported from my Wii. Like Majora's Mask. Super Smash Bros. Mario Kart 64. Super Mario RPG. And the few Genesis and Master System games I downloaded. I really like posting screenshots on Miiverse and then saving them to post on Facebook and the like.
I'd say we'll be lucky if we get at least one more N64 game before the year is done.
@TheAceofMystery: I know how you feel. My closest one is a good 45 minute drive. And I don't have all the time in the world to head out to Reading just to make a purchase.
I have mine ordered on Amazon, alongside Obi-Wan, Yoda, Mickey, Minnie, and Olaf. And I'm patiently awaiting HulkBuster and Ultron.
I said it before, and I'll say it again - I can finally play as Buzz Lightyear, Spider-Man, and Darth Vader all in one game. The ten-year-old in me is crying tears of joy.

Re: Why We're Still Playing… Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver
I miss HeartGold. That'd have to be my favorite Pokemon game. Had to sell it to get money for buying Christmas presents.

Re: 3DS System Version 10.6.0-31 is Now Available
I will never tire of these stability updates.
Re: New North American Nintendo Selects Range Emerges in Retailer Listings
While I have the digital version of Ocarina of Time 3D, I might just grab the cartridge version just to keep it in mint.
Re: Nintendo Download: 11th February (North America)
Well, at least we got three VC games instead of just one.
Re: Video: See Bayonetta & Corrin Smash it up in Super Smash Bros.

Re: Rumour: Nintendo Has Plans to Localise Mother 3 This Year
I know I and many others have been complaining about VC lately, but if this gets localised, I'm downloading this in a heartbeat.

Re: Reminder: The Current-Gen Mew Special Distribution is Underway
Might as well get codes for all four of my games.

Re: Zack & Wiki and Super Mario Advance 4 Look Set for Nintendo Download Update in North America
Sweet! Never had access to the e-Reader levels as a kid. Gonna have to grab an eShop card today.
Re: Nintendo Download: 21st January (Europe)
@gsplatinumdp: I said the same thing to myself earlier today! Might be lucky to get that, SMA4, SM64DS, and SMRPG by my birthday too!

Makes sense. Keeps cheating out of the equation.

I saw this today at workon PS4 console bundles. That depressed me a little bit.

Re: Mother 3 Heading to the Wii U eShop in Japan on 17th December
Swell, since the original was localised, we can hope.
Re: 3DS Firmware Update Now Available, Stability Remains The Focus
MORE STABILITY?!?
Good, I needed my fix.
Re: Rumour: Vision May be Coming to Disney Infinity 3.0
Well, Vision would be better than their announcement of a differently sculpted Captain America.

Well, time for another import...
Re: Best Buy Opens Pre-Orders for Falco's amiibo Release in North America
YES! Managed to pre-order it successfully! Now hopefully it doesn't get canceled...
Re: Toys "R" Us Teases More Exclusive amiibo in North America
@TheAceofMystery: I know how you feel. My closest one is a good 45 minute drive. And I don't have all the time in the world to head out to Reading just to make a purchase.
Re: Toys "R" Us Teases More Exclusive amiibo in North America
Well, that's four more amiibo I'll have to import...
This exclusivity stuff stinks. And that's putting it nicely.
Re: Rumour: Mii Fighter amiibo Might Be a Toys "R" Us Exclusive in North America
Well, I was a having a good run not having to import...
Eh, only a few more until my collection's complete anyway.
@Ryu_Niiyama: I know exactly where you're coming from. Nearest Toys R Us for me is about a 45 minute to 1 hour drive.
Re: Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam Will Support 18 amiibo Figures
Looks like having a collection of amiibo is paying off again for me next year. And there's still Woolly World to look forward to this month!
Re: Reminder: There's Only One More Week Left To Vote In The Super Smash Bros. Fighter Ballot
Hoping for Shantae. Really hoping for Shantae.

Well... That's another one to add to the collection.
Re: Nintendo Confirms Super Mario Maker Console Bundle and Key Release Dates for North America and Europe
Let's see... I work at a Walmart, so finding the bundle ain't a problem.
Only problem is I don't need another console...
Re: Disney Infinity 3.0 Goes Big With Star Wars Content in Latest Trailer
I got an email from amazon today telling me that the starter pack and Yoda figure I ordered would be able to get to my house sooner.
Original date of arrival - September 4th - September 9th
New date of arrival - September 4th - September 9th
At any rate, I'll be glad to have a new game and some new toys to work with.
Re: Sonic Classic Collection On Nintendo DS Cut Content Including A Crazy Taxi 4 Pitch
I used to have it for my DSi. It was a nice little collection. But, I got rid of it once I downloaded the Genesis games on my Wii and PC.
Re: Rejoice, There's A Tingle Costume In Super Mario Maker
Welp, that's one costume I won't need to unlock.
