I actually really like this design! granted not everyone will have the same opinion as me but i think it fills a hole in the market for someone who doesn't want a blue or red 3DS
I really think at this point Nintendo's best move is to wait at least until the end of the month before they announce the NX, announcing this week (as many people here seem to want) would be a disaster as it would be overshadowed by both Apple's and Sony's press conferences.
Can't wait for this!! The Layton series is one of my favourites! Level 5 games have so much charm I bet this will be a delight to play from beginning to end. Top hats off to them!
Oooh Secret Files is tempting! Its one of my favourite puzzle games on DS! I hope Secret Files 2 will be coming as well because i don't own that one yet
This guy needs to get off his bike and walk! There's a reason the speed limit is included to stop people cheating with the eggs by cycling and driving about. Cyclists are probably collecting more Pokémon and Pokéstops anyway so it only seems fair to penalise them with less egg hatchings.
@Kevlar44 @TomJ i liked him until very recently when i decided to interact with him on twitter, i simply stated that i wouldn't mind a female link and he then insulted me and then blocked me! It shocked me to say the least, I'll still like what content he produces but my opinion of his personality will be always scarred
Team Rowlet!! Can't decide between the Sun or Moon legendaries at the moment, also the NPC's look so much better than they have in the past- it almost felt alive!
Although I already own it if this ever comes to Europe, I'd advise everyone to get DK:TF! For me its still one of the best platformers ever made and at half its original price its a steal!
Just picked up Xenoblade Chronicles on the Wii at the brilliant discount price, but now I face a bit of a dilema for when Xenoblade Chronicles X comes out: do I go physical or digital (i have more than enough storage for either), what do you guys/gals suggest??
@rjejr I don't think the ND were failures at all. I think your reasoning that they failed as advertising to help the WiiU sell is correct, they didn't help it sell much more as they aren't viewed by the general public. But they were never supposed to be advertising, they were a medium to deliver news to the fans and to the media, something they were very successful doing. As @ShikabaneHime13 said almost every gaming website was abuzz with speculation before they were aired and after they were aired the fans were usually riding the hype train to hypeville. The were a super way of giving people news whilst building hype and support at the same time. So I don't think they are at all a failure
Thats the last time I'm buying from GAME, that email could have been sent on Monday, but I was left with very little knowledge of the situation for 3 days! What do I get for my troubles - nothing! Appalling customer service!
Hmm, my order said it was canceled due to payment problems (but i my account) , I ordered another. That said it was cancelled too and now both have been dispatched :/ I only went with GAME for the preorder bonus
@ianolivia glad to see that amazing contribution :/
Woop Woop! This makes me happy! I loved the game anyway but I'm definitely gonna pick it up now! And to all the people hating just pretend its a "Big Ol' Straight Masculine Kiss™" and they're "Just Friends". But in all seriousness if your not going to buy a game because of one kiss I really do question your sanity- I mean I could kinda understand if they were doing anal, but a kiss... come on!
@RupeeClock I'm in the exact same position!! I was waiting for the coin and snapped it up immediately, but now I'm not sure how to spend the rest of my 5000 or so coins! I think I might wait it out and see if they have a sale like NA did.
@OddworldCrash haha, thats pretty much my sentiment too, its soooo annoying to see an exciting headline, get hyped just to spot "only in North America" at the bottom
This was the first Kickstarter I backed and I was already unbelievably excited but now my hype levels are through the roof! It will be really interesting to see how many third party/ indie devs incorporate amiibo into their games! 😃
I would be more than fine with this coming to over consoles! I pick this up day one at the launch of the WiiU (I got the ZombiU bundle!) and loved it. The thing I hate most is that whenever I talk to people about it they just dismiss it as a gimmicy WiiU game. Nintendo had its years of exclusivity and it didn't sell amazingly, I don't think Ubisoft are doing anything wrong by finally porting it over to other places- I just wonder how they'lll make the gamepad features work, especially the multiplayer!
I already had Stealth Inc, but this promotion definitely pushed me over the edge to buy all the others (I've know that they were great but shorter games and was waiting for a sale like this!). Currently downloading now!
hmm I wonder if the multiplayer will work, Mario vs. Luigi is definitely some of the most fun I've had with multiplayer in games! And the minigames were quite good too
@Nintendofan83 perhaps its just me, but surely the people who think its too much effort to get an extra memory card probably won't be the people who wil be downloading a game anyway. This is a retail title too so any clueless parents will probably buy the game physically
@EvisceratorX hmm maybe its just I consider gigantic games like CoD and Assassins Creed to be AAA, and although Captain Toad is quite nice to look at I don't really see it in the same league as Shadow of Mordor or Smash Bros for example.
Really don't get the hate for this game, the fact that I have not paid a single penny for a fantastic licenced Pokemon puzzle game is amazing! And there really isn't any need to put money towards it either, 5 tries before waiting is perfectly long enough for dip in and out gameplay which fits well with the genre!
@Mercy_Lost I think that if one had the ability to outright purchase the game after a certain point then most people would choose to do so, however this is probably not that desirable to the developers as they would make no where near as much money out of this structure. Also on similar mobile games I've played where a 'buy outright' option has been included they have been selling the game for upwards of £50 which I think is very steep for games like these!
@snoox I know in Europe at least they have been selling systems without the chargers in box since the launch of the original XL. It baffled me at first but since then retailers are automatically bundling it with a charger anyway, and it means that they system gets a slimmer more stylish box meaning I don't really have a problem with it
Whoop woop!, After being messed about by GAME yesterday I finally preordered the MM N3DS XL AND the Skull Kid figurine!!! I was monitoring the online store all day and as soon as it came up I preordered it!
Urgh, so cringe worthy! I definitely liked the second ad more. Although showing them in eight player battle definitely makes me more interested in that mode!
