Dear Itagaki-San

I know you're not working on Dead Or Alive Xtreme 3. But could you make an Xtreme game for NX too? Only with Nintendo characters? And if you do, please remember that half of all gamers are women. Demographics are changing all the time. So, please, for Nintendo Beach Xtreme, give Link a private paradise.

Yours Truly...
me!

@zool
except Nintendo have already played with the idea of amiibo before. Actually, almost everything about the Wii U is something that Nintendo has played with before.

Amiibo = ecards (which could unlock things in certain gba games)
Wii U pad = Gamecube/GBA connection cable. Remember Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles or Legend of Zelda 4 swords?

I just bought this game too. It's gorgeous. I think I'm in love. Link is sexy.

ooooh, tempting, mostly for Beauty and the Beast, Frozen and Aladdin. But I'm going to hold out for Manga/Anime Art Academy.

@DoctorOverbuild

I didn't like borderlands (mostly the humor and art design). But I love the idea of playing 4 player co-op with friends so I'm looking forward to this.

Pleaaase! Be released on a physical disc, and pleaaaase, don't censore this game.

Announcement trailers need to be exciting and filled with anticipation. Instead I'm worried and unsure what will happen. Way to go NoA. (T-T )

I'm very disappointed that it's just for New 3ds. (T_T )

@Arcamenel
true, that.

btw, why did he leave? do we know? was he spilling secrets? what happened? (o_O )

wtf!!! I would have expected this of NoA but not NoE. We still don't know much about this, so it could just be a rumor started on some forum.

But if it is true, this is one of the dumbest things ever and another good reason why we should demand region-free consoles. Grrrrrr, NoA!!!!!! (>_< )

take all rumors with a pinch of salt? lol.

After seeing how the Wii U went, and after watching NoA shoot themselves in the foot over and over again, I take everything NINTENDO says with a pinch of salt.

That being said, I am cautiously optimistic about the NX.

But you were so good in Donnie Darko. ('- ' )
Personally, I think it's awesome. Pokemon is really huge, and even though I'm just a casual fan, I've been surprised how easy it is to bring it up and use Pokemon as a starting point to getting to know new people (worked with 2 of my coworkers).

1996!!! (O.O )

a fine year for Pokemon. (-..- )

beautiful, just beautiful
*sobs uncontrollably

Also, I love Alex's voice. (^_^ )

@KTT
If I was rich I would. Hmmm... maybe I should marry rich.

@SnackBox
It's expensive. (T-T )

@SnackBox
lol. that one was always too weird for me. But, hey did you know that if you played Metroid 2 on a gameboy color it would have actual color!

@SnackBox
I wish. I loved playing with the sepia and brown color scheme. In my mind, that's how a retro game should look.

But jeez Nintendo. Your gameboy vc on 3ds and your n64 vc on wii u both suck. There's no reason they should look as blurry as they do.

And for everyone else who keeps saying just press "start" or whatever, that doesn't give you the same size as the original gameboy. It just gives you the same resolution, but since the 3ds has a much higher resolution, it just means you get a smaller (albeit sharper) screen.

Still buying Red though.

Witch & Hero is such a fun game. The levels are pretty short too, so it's a great game to play if you're waiting for a car ride or just have a couple of minutes to kill. (^_^ )/

@Fee
well, I also like Orochi. But I read that there's only one marriage option per game. (o_O )

@Fee
I haven't met her yet. lol, she can't be too bad... can she?
(o. O )

@japongt
ewwww, that's gross. But no, and it hasn't been for lack of trying either. I have a bunch of guys on my team... (o_O ). I kind of like Hinoka, but then I found out she was my sister, so no, definitely no. And I like Rinkah too, but I think she makes such an adorable couple with Kaze that I don't have the heart to step in.(T-T )

But I'm not very far, so I'm still keeping my hopes up that I'll find Ms. Perfect soon-ish.

@Fee
Well, I was planning on getting it, I just wasn't happy with what I was hearing. I didn't care about "petting" per se, but I wish NoA had something to replace it with instead of just taking it out, but they didn't so I wish they had left it in the game. I want more bonding to do with my allies than just fighting alongside them, and yes, I would love it if there were more dating options, and/ or chances of forming relationships/ interacting with units. That's my favorite part and it's kind of bothering me that there could have been more but instead it got censored.

However if they had taken out same-sex marriage completely I wouldn't have bothered at all since that was the first thing that attracted me to FE Fates.

But even with all that, I'm still enjoying the game. I'm not planning on buying Conquest or the 3rd chapter though, and if NoA does the same censorship thing with the next Fire Emblem I'm going to skip it. Birthright is enough for me.

I'm one of those 300,000! This game is completely blowing away my expectations (although, tbh, I wasn't sure what my expectations were to begin with).

I'm still not sure what to think about the combat. I find it hard and too stressful, and I always spend way too many turns because I'm worried I'll lose my allies. It's probably my least liked feature of the game.

But I love the drama and all of the relationship options in the game! I love everyone and there are so many cute couples that I'm always shipping people together in my head. And the story?!? Holy Crap! It's so good.
I've got so much fan fic for this game it's crazy. (^_^ )

lol. 5 out of 5 music notes. would play.
(^_^ )

whoa, I think that would be cool. But I don't see Nintendo ever making a Metroid movie. Maybe she could be Samus in a future Nintendo Metroid game trailer? I would love to see her become one of Nintendo's spokespersons (maybe she could replace Reggie, lol).

And, while I admire her (and envy her killer abs), I also hope she is able to find a career outside of UFC. It's not that I'm against violence (which I am, btw) but too many athletes end up with head trauma down the road and end up having to deal with complications the rest of their lives.

I'll believe it when I see it.

It's kind of funny to see where the games have evolved to, but one thing that people don't really mention, is how many similarities Dark Souls has to the very first Legend of Zelda game. Especially in terms of world design, exploration, and minimalist approach to story telling. While I think Dark Souls has more in common with early King's Field games, it's hard to deny that Dark Souls isn't (in more than a few ways) the spiritual successor of the first NES Zelda game.

Charizard is a handsome red beast! How could I not pick Red?
(^_^ )/

I've purposefully avoided Witcher and plenty of other games because a lot of them go for a super dark, gritty feel, and usually feature some hugely masculine hero dripping testosterone. ugh.

Zelda on the other hand feels like an adventure and a fairy tale. And even though there's a lot of danger to the world and its inhabitants, it never loses its charm because there is a real feel to the world that it is populated by people who are "good" people, even if they end up doing something bad or questionable.

I love Hyrule and I would give anything to live in that land (if it existed). (T-T ) Can't wait for Twilight Princess.

ok. so I bought the game. I had to restart a couple of times because I wasn't satisfied with my hair style and color (apparently, just because it looks good in the art, doesn't mean it looks good in the character model). I'm liking it so far.

Also, even though I feel it's going to lead to a lot of tears, I'm going to play with perma-death. (T-T )

I want my first Fire Emblem experience to be as emotional as possible.

oh wow. huh. that would be cool. but this console gen has taught me to take everything Nintendo says (or rumors of Nintendo) with a huge grain of salt.

more relationship building and marriage options! (^_^ )/

Nah, Nintendo of America will censor this.

@Barbiegurl777
only miitomo is for iOS. Club Nintendo is going to be like accessible on several platforms, including laptops and pc's.

also, sorry about not having a phone (although it sounds like it's out of choice). My phone is free, and I've never had to pay for my own plan or minutes (unless I went over). (o_O )

Buuuuuut, I have a feeling that won't last too much longer.

what a wonderful man. Kind of makes me wish I could have played with a VB.

@DanJ811
boooo. I want it on my 3ds. (T-T )

Miitomo is only for smartphones, right?

@Fee
wow. but... but she looked like such a nice person.
(T-T )

@Fee
she's a stalker? (o_O )

just finished registering myself. haven't bothered forming an opinion yet though, because we can't do anything with it right now.

@DatFunkySmell
I think I'll be ok with trying out Birthright, because, well, even with the censorship, the marriage option is still there. But I really appreciate the advice. Maybe, at the least, I'll watch some youtube videos. And 7th? what happened to the first 6? anyways, you don't have to respond. I'm actually going to sleep. lol.

@tsukipon
Zzzzzzz

@tsukipon
lol. I lied. I'm still here (brushing my teeth).
*reads comments...
whoa, I missed a lot in only a couple of minutes.

@MrOshawott
I'm with you, I wish the mini-game was still there or had something prepared by the developers to replace it rather than just be taken out completely. poking my partner to wake her up seems like a poor substitute. (T-T )

@DatFunkySmell @tsukipon
uh oh. I don't really have any sort of strategic awareness (or maybe I do, I don't know). I'll just have to play really really cautiously.
(T-T )

but anyways, I'm glad we were able to understand each of our viewpoints. That's really rare on the internet. lol. But yeah, it's really late here, so I have to go. have a good night!

ciao for now. (^_^ )/

@DatFunkySmell @tsukipon
Yeah, I understand why you guys are frustrated, and hopefully, you understand why I am too. It was never really about the fan service for me, but I guess I was expecting a different kind of game than what you're saying Fire Emblem is actually like. (o_O )

btw, I'm getting Birthright (I don't know if that's Hoshido or not) because that's the only one with lesbian marriages. I'm still debating if I want to play casual or not because I always cry (well, sometimes) when someone I care about in a game dies. But someone told me, perma-death is the only way to truly play a Fire Emblem game sooo...

@tsukipon
well... I've never played a strategy rpg game before... But I think it could be fun. The trailers made it look fun, anyways.

@DatFunkySmell
well, I already feel disappointed. I was hoping for a lot more, like I actually have to spend time getting to know her and forming a bond, and then building that relationship to the next level. That's why I wanted the mini-game to stay. It's not like I actually cared if it was a petting mini-game or filled with fan service, but at least it was something. Nintendo could have replaced it with anything! having tea together, going to a bath house, watching a sunset, having a picnic. Anything at all, but they didn't. They just removed it, and it made me feel like I was cheated out of creating a bigger emotional bond than I could have.

@DatFunkySmell @tsukipon
ok, I don't know what just happened or how to respond. Is it bad to want to marry another woman when Nintendo has clearly allowed same-sex marriage as an option?
(o_O )

and "undesirables?" ouch? So we decided to get the game based on the marriage feature. She didn't like the game. I may or may not. For all we know, I could become the biggest Fire Emblem fan of all time! I don't see how that makes us "undesirables."

@DatFunkySmell
Nintendo wouldn't do that, even IF they started to include fan service into their games. Zelda runs under a different design ethos than Fire Emblem, or Bayonetta, or Resident Evil.

A western example would be the developers of Skylanders suddenly implementing Mortal Kombat types of fatalities. It just wouldn't happen.

*sigh

well, as much as I'm disappointed by everything I'm hearing about Fates in recent days, at least NoA decided to keep the same-sex marriage open as an option. I can be happy with that.

btw, is there a way to delete games from our "collection" list under our profile?

@DatFunkySmell
I don't think that Family Guy or Southpark are an accurate portrayal of American Culture, but they help paint a picture of the American zeitgeist. Everything we make, Stephen Universe, Family Guy, SouthPark, Call of Duty, SpongeBob Square Pants, all of those are indicative of the American zeitgeist.

The same holds true of anime and Japanese games, only for Japan.

@DatFunkySmell
You don't have to feel like a creep. You don't have to justify or explain yourself over the things you like. You could just realize that maybe your sibling and nieces and nephews aren't old enough to play those games. You do have other games, right?

@tsukipon
Really? I thought Fire Emblem Awakening was a hit, and brought the series back for U.S. gamers?
