@TheDavyStar lol. not for 10 dollars.

@Sanangelo89 Very few Xbox players think this way, fyi. And the same could be said for PC players, PS4 players. Heck, there are even a few Nintendo fans that complain Nintendo is just for kids.

It's true. I've seen them in the comments.

This game is awesome! I really appreciate everything Brian Gray has done. I kind of wish Gotta Protectors kept its first name from the previous game (Protect me, Knight), but that's really just a nitpick from me.
If anyone has any doubts, please give it a try during a sale.
btw, if anyone owns an xbox 360, the first game is on there for about 2 dollars (I think).

@Pink_Floyd
I think the Zelda one is more fun. Mostly because there's no energy limitations, or rules like you have to set pokemon.

There are no bonuses or anything it's just the puzzles, with no time limitations. So they're a lot of fun and much less stressful than the pokemon ones.

uhm... as for tips, I recommend 1) always putting an x where you know there is NOT a filled square. It sometimes helps with noticing what to do on another row and

2) work on the rows with large numbers first. If the number is large enough you can count the blocks from the left and then the right (or top and then bottom) and find out that no matter where those large numbers fit on the row, there are some squares that are always filled. Fill those and work from there.

(^_^ )/

wow!! this is great news!

It's not that hard to get points, you just have to be patient. And this game is by far the best thing on My Nintendo.

For those who love puzzles, after you solve 2 or 3 of them you'll quickly become addicted.

huh. I always thought the translators received a huuuuge batch file or something that contained every spoken line and description in the game and they just translated that instead of having to play through all of it.

how annoying and inefficient to have to play the game over and over to catch all of the lines. Oh well, it sucks, but I wasn't planning on getting it anyways (don't really like the designs). Hope Persona 5 is better (and not censored) because that's the one I'm excited for. (^_^ )/

Nintendo doesn't need to be the most powerful, or necessarily the cheapest. It needs 3rd party support and a lot of it.

Nintendo is one of the best developers out there but they aren't immune from making a bad game here and there, and they certainly can't carry a console all by themselves. No developer can do that.

They need 3rd party devs making good games, that can carry the NX between Nintendo games, and increase the player base. If they go it alone again, the NX will struggle the entire way.

RIP Mario Run 64. At least we got to see what it looks like before Nintendo shuts them down.

Yikes. What MS does or doesn't do may have serious repercussions down the line.

But with Universal Windows Apps (or whatever it's called), this was going to happen sooner or later.

@Zach777 If we're going to be that picky we might as well add every single game with a season pass to the list of games not yet completed until all of the season pass dlc gets released.

I doubt this game will come to the Wii U, but as some people have already mentioned, NX could be an option. (^_^ )

Hope the game comes with a physical release when it launches.

@Nintendood
Unfortunately, I've played it but I don't have a copy yet. (T_T )

I'm planning on getting it in a couple of weeks though. I can look for you but by then you probably have found out. btw, thank you for backing it. (^_^ )/

how come sonic doesn't have a running game. (T_T )

I feel like he would totally fit the genre.

@jrob23
His health is not doing well at all. I think this is a situation where, had things worked out better, he would have been more than willing to make a Wii U port.

but you're right. There are plenty of other developers who fit your description.

btw, Hyper Light Drifter is fantastic. It really has a lot of love put behind it.

@JaxonH What's VB?

aw, poor xbox. that's sad when 126 equals a more than 100% increase in sales.

I like the Xbox, but their lack of Japanese support is my biggest disappointment with their consoles. How did they ever drop the ball, I wonder. (T_T )

Actually, I do know, I read a good article a long time ago by someone who worked with development of the Xbox who explained it. So sad.

whoa!! love the artwork.

I wish fanzines were still a thing. Everynow and then I run across examples on tumblr and I wish I had been around when they were big.
(T_T )

@Phin68 because then the other developer gets most of the money.

@C-Olimar Not really, because this would have been a Wii U exclusive costume. But I have an idea why they said no.

@Phin68 Bayonetta doesn't have the same type of gameplay a mario game has, so even with the costume, it's not like Bayonetta is going to steal sales from Mario games.

However, more people than not did not want Federation Force. They wanted something closer to 2d Metroid games, and Axiom Verge fills that hole quite nicely. If there was a Samus costume, you can be darn sure that would be another bigger reason to pass Federation Force for this game.

I love Samus and can't imagine a Metroid game where we can't play as her. People may draw comparisons with Captain Toad Treasure Tracker, saying look, this is a Mario spin-off where you don't play as Mario.

But Mario has received plenty of core games and spinoffs that literally no one is saying we don't have enough Mario games with Mario in it. Metroid doesn't have that. If Nintendo had a decent number of Samus games, put out at a reasonable rate, then everyone would be ok with Federation Force. But that's not what Nintendo did.

I'm very sad. (T_T )

@SLIGEACH_EIRE I would be more than ok with that.
( ^_^)b

@SLIGEACH_EIRE
What about Metroid Other M?

@Dezzy OMG!! Yes. Best thing to happen to American politics in a long time.

@Zach777
never going to happen.

@sr_388 It's not the fault of the consumer if a game fails to convince them to spend money on it.

playstation vita 2, confirmed!!

It should do 2 or all 3 of those. I don't see why Nintendo should limit themselves with building hype with the console. They've already left us scrambling at any rumor like it was water. So now is the time to release a typhoon.

This is kind of like watching a train wreck. You know it's not going to be good, but you can't stop staring.

Next up, North America (I think). (o_O )

I love my 3ds and games, but this Direct felt a little underwhelming. At least 3rd party devs never gave up on the 3ds.

Oh well, Style Savvy is more then enough to keep me happy for the rest of the year.

Federation Force, however, is going to do badly.

@nhSnork and @AlexSora89

pfffft!
*rolls eyes in a sarcastic manner
Don't let anyone fool you, especially those who dislike Metroid Other M (which I love). Metroid, while not a huge tent-pole title series like Zelda and Mario, is not a disappointment to Nintendo.

While not on the level of Mario or Zelda sales, all Metroid games other than Zero Mission, Prime Hunters and the Prime Trilogy have sold more than 1 million. As for Japan, it's true they tend to have different tastes than the west, but most Metroid games have broken top 20 in Famitsu on release. Other M itself was top 5 when it came out.

Nintendo is waiting on Metroid for some reason, but doubt in the series is not one of them.

got my copy (with the update)!! (^_^ )

I'm going to make a bajillion copies of them and store them in various safe boxes around the country so that if I ever lose one, I have a backup waiting for me somewhere.

Amazing game. Better than Federation Force.

@Dislikesfats
dude? ... eh. ┐(￣ヮ￣)┌
( ^_^)b

wow. this is pretty awesome! Would be cool if we could interact with our pokemon though. maybe like something like Poke-Ami from X and Y where we can pet, feed and play mini games with our Pokemon.

With the NES being before my time, I find the games to be incredibly hard. I've never beat an NES game before, and consider them to be harder than the souls series. (T_T )

But I did vote for Metroid, Kirby, and Mario 2.

old school gamers are hardcore.

@hYdeks Yeah, it's kind of sad how fast the Wii U died. I'm probably going to get an NX, but depending on how Nintendo announces it, I'm more than ok with waiting for NX slim or a couple of price drops. I'm done with Nintendo launch day consoles.

I would like to see:
Storage options. 32gb is not enough for the Wii U and I want to see how much NX games rely on storage space.

Launch games. Will there be a decent number of games? and what does their release schedule look like for the year.

Region Free: Fire Emblem, Tokyo Mirage Sessions, Fatal Frame, and Tree House Localizations all make me wish I had the chance to choose the version that I want. Especially if the choice is between a physical or a digital copy.

Purchases tied to accounts: If something happens to my console, am I out of all of the dlc and games I bought? How many customer service hoops do I have to jump through to transfer my stuff or if it is as simple as PS4 and Xbox?

Online: If I have to pay for online, will the service be at least as decent as the Sony Network?

too many questions for now. (o_O )

@Danrenfroe2016 well, you have SNES VC games...

tbh, It's pretty much the dsi all over again. It's essentially the PS4 Neo and the Xbox Scorpio, only on a small scale. On one hand, it's the version that Nintendo should have made to begin with but on the other hand if they want to take full advantage of it they're going to have to split the player base.

darned if you do, darned if you don't. (o_O )

Wii U is dead... but the 3ds is not. I wonder what this means in relation to the NX? Will the NX also kill the 3DS?

Nintendo is still willing to put money into 3ds development, so I'm hoping (even though it's unlikely) that the NX will be backwards compatible with 3ds games.

the only thing worth getting on mynintendo is the zelda picross... and maybe the themes.

OMG!!! That Ocarina of Time Link is gorgeous. Ugh. I need it.
(T_T )

The perfect addition to my Link shrine.

@Dislikesfats lol. the video is kind of a tongue in cheek take on game mechanics that Alex and Arrekz would like to see, but most likely won't. And since other people started adding their own wishlist, I decided to add my own too. I'm not a fan of the timeline the way it exists today and feel like it restricts Nintendo more than helps.

But don't you worry, you ol worrier, you. The odds of my wish coming true are only slightly better than seeing Zelda naked, as someone above has already mentioned.

Also, I love Alex's voice. He should do more videos.

@mikegamer
I don't think anyone is surprised, but I think a lot of people (especially Nintendo) were at least hoping for something better.

huh. Feel sorry for the developers, but can't say I'm surprised for Nintendo. They probably aren't either, unless their studios are more insular than I thought.

I wish Breath of the Wild does away with Nintendo's lame Zelda timeline.

lol. Nintendo of America must be freaking out about this right now.

Nintendo of America needs to take a page from Japan and learn to have more fun with their IP.

I mean, I guess we have those youtube videos of that kid and his Pirhanna plant, but that's about it. NoA, why you so lame!!
(T_T )

you can start by telling us if A) the NX is going to be region free, and B) if our purchases will be tied to our account instead of the console.

@Peace-Boy
well, with the limitations of RPG Maker (considering it only makes sprite games), they're always going to be a kind of "chibi." However, the default, "ugly" look is only common because most people making RPG Maker games don't have the time or commitment to make custom graphics.

It's not hard to change the look, just time consuming. Although, I'm going to guess that the 3DS version won't allow us to import our own custom sprites and tiles. (T_T )

@Lucina
lol. welp, looks like the comments have finally died down. @Shiryu can rest easy and know he won't have to be stuck with just a SNES.

It's kind of funny, but comments are kind of like a kid throwing a tantrum. It's really horrible and annoying for awhile, and then as soon as everyone tires out it kind of settles into this sleepy quiet.

Anyways, it was fun talking to you. (^_^ )/ I'm off to check out the other articles and then play some games.

@Lucina I kind of wish it was still like that. I mean, I didn't really become a gamer until the GameCube, but even then, I remember games being judged on their own merit rather than being picked apart for frame rates and resolutions.

I mean, sure, Digital Foundry is fun to watch every now and then, but I feel like it has done more harm than good by adding fuel to the console war flame. These past couple years have been really bad in regards to how fans treat each other.

@Lucina I can't imagine what gaming was like without the internet. (o_O )

But the reason people weren't mad about things was probably because they didn't know better (I'm guessing). EA was just a logo, there were no other Japanese games besides the ones that were localized, and the only gaming censorship that gamers probably knew about was Mortal Kombat's attempts to send children's souls to hell.

It must have been like the wild west!

@Shiryu uhm... you might be right. (._ . )

Also, I don't think a lot of gamers would like my opinions. I mean, I'm a huuuuuge Other M fan, and I'm constantly being reminded how much of a poor life choice that is.

Maybe that's why even though I don't intend to buy Federation Force, I'm not outright hating it. I'm more upset that Nintendo did nothing for Samus' anniversary. I mean, she's a gaming legend. She deserves at least a miiverse post, but no, she didn't get even that.
