Oh yessss!!!
Now, this is the pokemon game I remember. I remember getting a Gameboy Advance for Christmas, but only Gameboy Color games for some reason (Pokemon Crystal and Lufia). I don't think my parents realized that but I didn't care, they were both really good games and started me on my hopeless path to Japanese RPG obsession.

Also we could finally choose to play as a girl or boy. That was revolutionary (lol). Kris and Misty were my absolute favorite growing up.

*sigh
There's no way I'll be able to find these. I got super lucky with BotW Princess Zelda but since the game released I haven't seen a single amiibo from that game.

Too bad. These look really neat.

Oh this game looks sweet! Definitely on my watch list. And XIII had some great music so I'm definitely looking forward to this.

I'm really glad that the 3ds is still being supported. I thought that the Switch was going to kill it (like the DS killed the GBA) but looks like it's still going strong (sort of).

@crifer
Maybe he waxes? Peach seems like the kind of person that would make Mario wax. I'm sure he doesn't care either way so he just goes along with her. lol.

@yuwarite
OMG! Thank you so much x1000! You're awesome!
(^+^ )

Uuuuugh!!! They always do this. I really wish the 3ds wasn't region locked. (T_T )

Also, I'm really glad this is coming out for the 3ds because I don't have a switch yet.

OMG!! Heck yeah!! I love Phantasy Star Portable 2. Even though this has microtransactions, I can still manage to have a lot of fun with it for free (unless the microtransactions are for clothes and costumes, because if they are then there goes all my money).

Wow!! What an awesome guy. I'm glad he decided to take a stand. I wish there was more diversity in esports. Like, I feel like the reason why there's so much disparity is because many (including myself) feel like the community is very elitist and unwelcoming.

This feeling doesn't come from the community being misogynistic or mean-spiritied, but esports are incredibly competitive. Not to mention how little diversity there exists in a lot of tournaments and those who run tournaments, and that most competitive activities naturally tend to offer little incentive for a casual player or someone just curious to participate. Throw in a panel of all-male judges who decide the rules, and well, all of these things begin to add up.

This is kind of why I have a ton of Magic the Gathering cards (I like the art, lol), but never play with anyone. It's intimidating trying to join a community. (T_T )

Ahahahahahahahahahaa!
Yeah, Ok Reggie. Let me just go to my nearest video game store and see if I can pre-order it. Oh, nvm, they ran out of pre-orders on the first day.
( - .- )

@Tsurii
It's just a language. lol.

@DarkmarkUnited
and, funnily enough, I've found that in general Japan takes better care of their stuff than Americans. lol.
So if you buy online used and a Japanese seller is describing their product as "Very Good" it's like the equivalent of an American describing their product as "Like New".

I mean, so far I've only seen this with books, but this situation has been so consistent I can't imagine it not also being true for video games.

@Yorumi
yeah, that's what I was thinking. Like, I would much rather have a PS2 that has been messed around with a lot to play imports than to have a disc without the case or manual.

And, also, I unfortunately don't have the money to buy english SNES games, especially of rare RPGs. (T_T )
Some might say that's what roms are for but, if I can, I would rather play the actual game with the actual controller on a tv.

@Priceless_Spork
I'm not trying to pick a side or anything, but I did have a quick question.
Do you swap the insides of the game to a cartridge with the same title? So like, move Zelda: Triforce of the Gods into a Link to the Past case?
I'm just curious because if you are, then you're not saving any money because Link to the Past is way more expensive than Triforce of the Gods and sort of defeats the purpose of the article (and you might as well just play Link to the Past if you have it).

On the other hand, if you're just putting them into any case you have lying around doesn't it bother you that the case doesn't match the contents? I feel like, from a collector's point of view, that would be even more annoying than buying a SNES without the tabs.

OMG!! this was so easy!!
I just ordered Final Fantasy VI! and it cost less than the price of a meal.
(^_^ )/

I'm going to import everything!!

@Yorumi
Also, I bet you can get a little bit of extra money by advertising it as "modified to play Japanese games".

Huh. I import a lot of books but I never really though of video games too. This is a great idea!
But hopefully you know how to read Japanese because without them RPG's are a pain to play through.
Btw, my sister and I have F-Zero, Dragon Quest 1 and 2, and Mario RPG for Super Famicom, and somehow we still never figured out that importing was an option. lol

@JaxonH
really? the article only says the have no plans. (-. - )

There's no way this is permanent. I think it just means Capcom hasn't started taking steps to help localize it just yet.

Looks good but... well, what happened to the art design? I liked Xenoblade X's look. It was still anime-ish but kind of had a more mature, serious vibe. This looks more cartoony and closer to the "Tales of" series, which, I'll admit, I'm not a huge fan of.
Still planning on getting this though.

I think Nintendo had the best presentation out of the big 3. I know that my sister and I want a switch now more than ever.

@Smokingspoon
Or Metroid: Other M.

That Chrom is such a stud-muffin.

ah, how adorable.
But wait, Yoshi isn't a dinosaur? Is he a dragon?
I'm so confused. (._. )

wow!! this is seriously a good deal! (^_^ )/
Like, I'm actually pretty excited.

Before I get this though, I'll need to convince my friends to either get into Splatoon with me, or find a good multiplayer game to lose myself in (an online Pokemon game or Monster Hunter may convince me).
Hopefully we see a lot of online games because this is much better than PS Plus (I think XBGold is better than PS Plus, even though it is more expensive, you get 360 games to keep even after your account expires).

just googled Cadillac. lol. yeah, ok, whatever you say Reggie. lol.

a Cadillac? I don't even know what a Cadillac looks like. (o_O )
but... ok.
If this had come out 2-3 years ago I would have bought it as my first choice (I barely use the 3D on my 3DS but I don't like how clunky the 2DS looks like).

@Gamer83
Oh, I know she would never replace Link. A lot of fans would freak out. I've already mentioned this to other people and their response has been... passionate, to say the least... But what about a spin-off game?

@Ryu_Niiyama
Well, yeah, I understand. But not every Zelda is the same. Also, as Windwaker has shown, there can be a Link that isn't the "chosen hero" reborn. So I'm sure there can be a Zelda who isn't the "goddess" reborn.

Callie always struck me as being slightly more emotionally unstable...

I wonder where this will go. (O.O )

@Haru17
I'm still waiting on a Zelda game where I can play as Zelda
(T- T )

@AlexSora89
pfffft. lol. omg. can't stop laughing. really? really? oh, internet. You never change. (-. - )

wow. I feel so much better now. I was planning on buying the DLC pack but there isn't anything yet that says it's worth 20 dollars. That's why I don't do season passes. lol.

Guess I can now put that money to something that is actually worth it (like maybe the Zelda Art and Artifacts book).

OMG!! Yes!! I can play with Japanese voices now!!
Best patch yet (and it is now more stable than ever before)!

@Don
all stores do. It's American retail.
You're better off working locally, or hope you get a nice manager to offset corporate's bad decisions.

Lol. that's awesome! I really like Karen so I'm happy she's having a good time with her meme.

I think it's great when something fun, like having an unofficial mascot, comes out of a good idea and an enthusiastic fan base. Kind of reminds me of all the fan art that came out of "Twitch plays Pokemon."

Hopefully she gets to be in more commercials.

@Kid_Sickarus
you win the game by knowing when to sacrifice your pawns.
( ~_^)b

lol. I kind of like all of the voices in BotW. I think it's a good step in the right direction. Although, I am perfectly fine with Link sticking to grunts and yelps.

that was fun. will we ever get to see the results? I'm kind of curious to see what other people put for consoles and what kind of games they like to play.

I want to buy this game, but until we hear if the Switch is going to transfer our purchases somehow I'm really hesitant to continue buying eShop games on the Wii U and 3ds.

If this is true, I hope they fix Meryl's lazy eye in the bathroom scene. Once you see it, you can't unsee it. (o_o )

Can't decide if the Troll is cute or just plain ugly.

@Akropolon I don't think it looks gimmicky. Looks like the Lego games splitscreen.

I wish we were getting Bombergirl instead of Bomberman. (T_T )

OMG!! is that picture for real!! did anyone notice that From Software is on there?!?
I hope this means we're getting Dark Souls!!

sad...

btw, do we know if any of our games will transfer to the switch?

oh, dang. I wish I got on earlier because I wanted to be near the top.
(T_T )

But yeah, I don't think the 3ds is going to stick around long. 2017 will probably be its last year, and with only a trickle of games.

Everyone, go take a look at the upcoming 3ds games on Gamestop's website.

There are 9 games coming out. One is also an amiibo bundle, another a deluxe version, and 2 are nintendo selects. So really, once those have been taken out, we are looking at 5 games.

The PS Vita on the other hand has 11 games listed for 2017. All of them different titles.

Remember, Nintendo said that the DS was NOT going to replace the Gameboy Advance, but history tells us different.

OMG! did Nino just die in the trailer? (O.O )

C'mon Vita 2!!

We were so close with having a Sony version of Switch if Vita and Vita TV were somehow combined. I'm hoping this means another look at Vita. (^_^ )

I'm not so sure.

I think the 3ds is done. Nintendo has shown to put marketing speak ahead of practice (especially in the U.S.). There was no 3rd pillar of gaming with DS. DS was the replacement for Gameboy.

Also, a quick look at upcoming 3DS games vs PS Vita games (check Gamestop.com if you don't believe me) shows that Vita has a lot more going for it this year. By a lot.

Nope. 3DS is on its way out. (o_O ) Goodbye. I love you, my adorable 3DS...

but it's such a healthy game!!

this game looks so adorable! but I honestly believe that the switch is going to replace both wii u and 3ds, so I'm hesitant to buy any Nintendo game right now.

But... I might make an exception for Poochy and Yoshi's Woolly World.

@GameOtaku
No region locking!! No region locking!!!
(--_-- )/

@mritchy
They might still get 3rd party support. the nice thing about the switch also being portable, it increases the chances of it taking off in Japan. If Japan falls in love with the Switch, then we can expect a ton of support via 3rd party.

Not to mention, potentially, Capcom, Square Enix, and FromSoftware (as well as other Japanese developers) could throw their support behind it. Sure, it might not get the "latest" ports, but imagine what a Nintendo console can do with Nintendo's 1st party games, Dark Souls, Some Resident Evil ports, and an anthology of Final Fantasy games!!

and if that works, western developers would start to take notice.
I'm definitely with Alex Olney on this. Oh, and yeah, I also agree with you. All Nintendo devs supporting one console is a good idea.
