Honestly, I'm more excited for Bravely Second. It feels more like a traditional Final Fantasy game to me than any current FF game. But considering what SE said about going back to it's roots a while ago, I'm hopeful that this game will be just as good as FF9 and X-2 (my favorites )
Also, is it just me or are these characters designs... Unimaginative? They look like typical RPG characters instead of the amazingly stylized FF characters I'm used to. Actually, the designs for Crystal Chronicles are my all time faves. I'd love to see a game with that style again!
A game centered around Amiibos would be awesome. I was just playing SSBB the other day and was thinking about how awesome a legit platformer with all Ninty characters would be! (Instead of that storyline thing)
I just downloaded this a few hours ago and haven't been able to stop playing since. I've created Link, Zelda and Mario so far, along with human-versions of my pets... Strange how well the personality thing works!
So excited! I think I'll get it on Wii U, even though I know I'd play it more on my 3DS. I just want to support games on my Wii U so that more will come!
My girlfriend is buying MK8 for my birthday. Which is awesome except that means I can't play till the 8th! Oh well, waiting to play it with my brother and gf instead of playing it tonight by myself is a much better option anyway.
I don't get all the hate here. I was ready for some high-pitched squeaky voice that would make me cover my ears in pain judging by the comments. Then I watched the video. Her voice could have been a LOT worse, honestly, and I think it fits her.
I actually think Story of Seasons is a cooler name than Harvest Moon, though I could see some people getting confused or thinking the new title is just a knock-off.
This is exactly why I'm so excited for this game. For years Zelda fans have been asking for Nintendo to shake up the formula and that is exactly what is happening with this game. Even if it turns out not to be that great, it's still something different and I think I'll enjoy it even for that reason alone. And Impa looks so freaking badass. I can't wait to play as her!!
While I do think that diversity is always good, the Mario franchise is, what, 25-30 years old right? Nintendo is known for putting their already established characters into new and remade games. Yes, they could create new characters in the Mario world, but most of them aren't human anyway.
And who even plays battle mode? I've owned every Mario Kart to date and have never even taken a second look at it. It's all about the racing to me.
As the article stated, the Wii U was announced a year before release. Just because they think they will be announcing this new hardware in a couple years doesn't mean they're giving up on the Wii U. Iwata even stated above that customers can't be happy with future hardware unless they're happy with current hardware. They're not abandoning anything. The Wii U could get a 5-6 year lifespan still.
All I want is for Nintendo to get rid of region-lock completely, offer Japanese games on the NA and NOE eShops, and more powerful graphics capabilities all at a reasonable price. I don't really care about HD screens since the screens we have are so small, as long as they're like 720p I'd be happy.
This is why 3rd party games don't sell well on Nintendo consoles. They come out on time for Sony and Microsoft, so obviously more people want to buy it on time, rather than wait for the delayed Wii U version :/
I only own Nintendo consoles though, so I'll be getting this when it eventually gets released on Wii U!
So wait... Many of you want Nintendo to give you two FREE awesome games, free wiimote and a free wheel? You've got to be kidding. When does the entitlement end??
@vinicity I agree! The Mario franchise could only be bettered by adding more female characters Though, at least Peach and Rosalina were playable in 3D world and not just damsels in distress!
And I love your icon by the way! The fourth Doctor was awesome. I'm thinking of crocheting a scarf like that!
@DestinyMan I agree, Ninty is KNOWN for being secretive about their games. Just because they're focusing on Smash doesn't mean that's all they have to offer, it means that they don't want us to know about their other stuff yet. I think we've got some awesome announcements coming!
If that video was any indication of the quality of their E3 digital presentation, I'd say this is a very good idea. Let's face it, Reggie is really awkward in front of a live audience.
I'm not a fan of golf at all. But in the video review that @Grumblevolcano posted, the reviewer gave me the impression that it was more of a puzzle game than actual golf outside of the Castle Club mode. And I LOVE puzzle games! So I'm definitely going to try the demo and possibly pick this one up soon.
Yikes, lots of hate in these comments. The GameStop near me is full of very knowledgeable employees who are always friendly and excited to help me find what I need or order something for me if they don't have it. I don't follow the franchise's business model so I don't really know if it's a "good" company or not, but I'd hate to see the employees at my local store lose their jobs. It's the only one in town.
I spent hours and hours playing the first Denpamen but towards the end I got a little tired of the repetitiveness. This just seems like a HUGE step up from both 1 and 2 and I can see myself playing this just as much, if not more than, a regular retail game from Ninty!
I mean seriously, you can decorate the Denpamen's houses?! It's like they incorporated my favorite part of Animal Crossing into this game
Yikes, those are some rough numbers for Ninty. But honestly, I'm just excited for what they'll come up with next. After the Game Cube flopped they came out with these awesome motion controls and sold tons and tons of Wiis. It seems like with the Wii U they were just trying to ride on the success of the Wii instead of trying for something really new and exciting. So I have a feeling that they're putting on their creative caps and will come out with something super innovative next gen. And then Sony and Microsoft will be copying Nintendo again!
I haven't really been into a racing game in a long time, other than Mario Kart. But I'm definitely looking forward to getting this, if only to show support for 3rd party devs!
Honestly, if they release the full game at a lower price and then offer DLC on top of that for 5-10 dollars, I don't see a problem. But if Ninty goes anywhere near the pay to win thing, I'll start having a hard time buying Nintendo products.
I can't help but feel like this game will be full of unapologetic objectification and sexism. Definitely not getting it, no matter how much I love jrpg's.
I'm definitely getting this one and possibly buying it for my cousin, who loves Animal Crossing and more "casual" 3DS games. It will be so much fun to swap screen shots with her of our Mii's doing crazy stuff!

I hope we can play as Zant at some point... I think his character design is the coolest out of the whole Zelda franchise.

Woah, I'm excited for all of them! But especially Harvest Moon
Re: "Play Nintendo" Tour Rolling Through the U.S. this Summer
None in Oregon
But since I already have all of those games except Yoshi's Island, it's fine. It would be fun to sit in a Pokeball though...
Re: Natsume Announces Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley for a 2014 Release on 3DS
Well, I'm just gonna have to get both then!
Re: Mortal Kombat X Announced, Platform Details Sketchy
Meh. Smash will be better anyway. They just don't want to try to compete with it
And after watching the video... The music isn't bad, but doesn't match Mortal Combat AT ALL. A Metallica song would have been better...

For some reason that last 3DS screen with Ike getting eaten by the fish is hilarious to me.

Re: Reaction: Mario Kart 8 Accused Of Poor Sales Potential, Ruining Battle Mode And Racism
I wonder if Casey Malone even knows anything about Mario's characters anyway. Birdo is a confirmed MTF transwoman. How's that for diversity?

Re: Here's a Video of The Temple of Time Made With Unreal Engine 4
A little too realistic for me, but awesome nonetheless! I guess I'm just one of those people who prefer Zelda in more of an animated style.
