@KO-Cub I thought Square Enix already had their own Tactics game. Final Fantasy Tactics? And you may buy it on the Nintendo store... right now!
and for all of the haters. Are you kidding me? the relationships is one of the best things about Fire Emblem. I absolutely love Birthright! I tried playing some of the really old FE games and they've aged. They're hard, and the characters seem kind of dry. But FE Birthright has amazing characters. Literally everyone can play the game and find at least one person they like.
i didn't know you would be able to transfer them to moon and sun. I thought past a certain gen, pokemon become incompatible with each other, making it impossible to transfer a pokemon up through all the games. (o_O )
but if this is true, awesome!! I can't wait to have the same pokemon through every single game.
@Bolt_Strike oh, I'm not disagreeing with you on this. I agree, Nintendo seems to be driving themselves into a corner.
But I was explaining why Reggie and Satoru Shibata are at the bottom. It has nothing to do with racism and everything to do with very few people willing to go along with or even understand their "Kyoto" principles.
can't say I'm thrilled with their E3 plans, but the more I think about it, the more I'm ok with NX being pushed to next year. I think it's the smarter thing to do to ensure having a strong lineup and not having to compete with the PSNeo (and maybe an Xbox1.5). I'm still partly convinced the Neo will split the fanbase and get a lot of bad publicity.
I think Nintendo is doing 2 things. They're trying to build a decent collection of launch games to go with NX, and they're waiting to see if Sony and MS shoot themselves in the foot with their half-step console upgrades.
Also, maybe they're waiting to see how powerful the Neo and Xb1nextgen are going to be so they don't deliver an underpowered console again.
But the Wii U is practically dead right now. The only thing I can think of for Nintendo to do is push out a few remasters to tide fans over, but Wii U AAA games are over.
I like Star Fox a lot (although I'm terrible at the games and I've only beat Adventures) but everything I've read about the dual screen control method has put me off buying the game. Is there a demo on the store?
how is this a surprise? literally everyone and their mom knew Nintendo was pushing back Zelda Wii U to also make a Zelda NX. Nintendo did so with Twilight Princess so it's not like its unheard of.
@JaxonH truer words have never been spoken. NoA also needs to find out what the heck they are doing with their localizations.
@StuOhQ Hardly. Nintendo is a Japanese Company located in Japan. Not only that, but they are a Kyoto Company meaning they adhere to a very Japanese Corporate ethos and philosophy, hence the saying "Kyoto is more Japanese than Japan". Why would they place Westerners (particularly Americans) anywhere near the top?
This is so much crap!! I mean look at that speedo!! A Speedo! Bikinis are everywhere in video games, but now, that there's a chance for us to see Speedos they censor the game?
And I call BS on Atlus being fully responsible for these changes. I would be willing to bet good money that Nintendo had some sort of influence on Atlus' "decision." (--_-- )
Nintendo hasn't really given me a reason to be excited so far this year. But e3 is coming up, and I am pretty excited for that. So the second half of the year definitely could be much much better.
Are you sure we played the same game? Because I loved Witch & Hero. It's not trying to do anything fancy, but the game is fun and addictive and up there as a great casual game along with Angry Birds and Flappy Bird. (o_O )
I'm definitely buying Witch & Hero 2. Love love love the first one. (^_^ )
@1nightinthepit @Lilith93 for a lot of people, some works (like books, video games, or movies) provide a lot of inspiration, fun, and a sense of community. Being able to bond with others over like-minded interests is a huge part of being a fan of something, and when you feel like a fandom has given you so much, you sometimes want to return the favor by taking time and effort to create something other fans will like and enjoy. Or at least I think so, when it comes to my own fanart.
Imo, I thought this was pretty funny (although very shocking). There were some parts I didn't like but Impa spitting and Zelda's family painting won me over. lol.
And wow, Gandondorf is one sexy Gerudo in this version.
@TheRealThanos Ugh. how ugly. Why would you place the thumbstick so high up compared to the buttons?
@AlexSora89 There's nothing to keep the disc from getting all scratched. you would have to either stay very still, or play it only at home. Laaaaaame!!
That would be cool if Bravely Default became Nintendo's version of Final Fantasy? I mean, sure, Nintendo had the Last Story, but they took that nowhere.
wow!! All of these look cool! I want to get both Runbow and Freedom Planet, but I'm waiting to find out Nintendo's policy regarding game purchases tied to accounts rather than to consoles before doing so. Especially since the NX is just around the corner.
What horrible news. I don't care what people say, the Atomic Bombs were not justified in their use. Sure, maybe they were better than the alternative "to our interests" but there were other ways to use them than to bomb two large cities made up of mostly civilians.
If we wanted to show the ultimate might of the Atomic Bomb, dropping it off the coast, or having it detonate in the air, would have been just as effective. But no, we're "heroes" for "saving lives" by targeting cities. I guess it's true what they say, "history is written by the victors."
@NotAUsernameHere This whole thing is ridiculous. I feel like if Nintendo is going to create a corporate ethos that restricts secondary jobs (in any capacity), then they should be prepared to provide a living wage that allows you to get health insurance, car insurance and any sort of modern amenities while still living comfortably, or provide them themselves.
@Damo This is very important, so I hope you read this and pass this info along to the important people. The last couple of days have seen plenty of rumors about a playstation 4.5 and an upgrade-able xbone. many of the worries about consoles following a smartphone business model centers around the console base being split over those who have the original vanilla model, or the new, improved model, and if this means vanilla owners will end up with noticeably inferior games.
Well, we don't have to guess what that would look like, we have the New 3ds as a good example. I think if the console base is split like this, game reviewers owe it to gamers to let them know exactly what kind of a situation we're getting into (journalistic integrity and all that).
There should be 2 review scores. One for the New 3ds (which is 7, I guess), and another review score for those who have the vanilla 3ds. If a PS4.5 and Xb1a,b,c etc do get made, this is the reality we face. (T-T )
I feel like their should have been a few more options or questions to the survey.
about 60-70% of my games on playstation and xbox are digital (except for Vita because I love how tiny the cartridges are) and I'm totally willing to buy more digital games.
But Nintendo has a 32 gb hard drive, with digital games tied to consoles instead of accounts. No way am I going to buy retail games for the Wii U! Forget that. Fatal Frame is 14 gb or so. That means that if it was an Xbone game it would be a 250 gb game install!!
Nintendo, make a console digital friendly and then I'll consider it.
