The CP adjustments are huge and drastic. First, i upgraded an Arcanine and it gave me -103 ! I was so mad ! Then I shut it down fearing the servers were getting buggy like hell. And now i just notice these changes.
My 3DS was close to fly around the room when i read the news. Disappointment at its best for me in France. Too bad, will not buy it (thanks also again to that stupid region lock policy). Those days, i am buying more Vita games because i can import US physical versions...
Forgot to say my thoughts went even more on the hard side following the recent scandal for games on iOS removed from the "games you bought" list after they were removed from the app store, which means that after some time, you completely lose a game. It does not happen when you have the cartridge.
Personal example: i did not buy Shin Megami Tensei IV and Dual Destinies, regardless of the many promotions. I want physical copies of "big games". Still, i have Shovel Knight and some otehrs indies, + all Sega Classics. But i am very happy about the coming physocal version fo SK. That reminds me also of this f... region lock policy. I have a PS Vita also. I buy retail copies of several games which are released in NA as cartridge but only as downladables in EU.
When i saw that yesterday (i'm French BTW), i first wondered how can the designer of this think for a minute this will go unnoticed... (i believe far-right wings people don't think too much and too deep, but still...).
And the guy admits he knew from the beginning... Wow. I hope he will get sued properly, because this is most probably against Kickstarter terms and conditions. Personally, after one problem with crowdfunding (i participated in some projects), i just stopped and closed my account. Never again. And i think this will happen more and more just because such people. And then, end of crowdfunding in a few years.
Aren't there all those guys who several times were totally wrong about Nintendo in the past? And had Nintendo followed their "predictions", it would have probably really died... Can't those useless people just work when they are contracted but leave us alone otherwise?
I like also this "ergonomic placement of finger controls"... Yes, well, not to infringe your patent, we decided to place the controls non ergonomically, to voluntary screw up the experience.
Reviews are not all that good, plus released way too long after US. So i did not buy it. I am sorry, but i read the reviews before buying, so they could make it a better game before hoping to sell it like bread.
I would buy something like that. It opens the door to more interesting games, some of which are awful with touch control but would be perfect with a controller.
If i had one wish to be fulfilled, Nintendo would sell boxed versions of games all over the world and give up this stupid region lock system put in place only since 3DS (eg i will never purchase Ace Attorney Dual Destiny here in France where we have only eshop version vs the rest of the world which has boxed version). Plus link game downloads to an account instead of a console like on every other system making sense. This guy is just another commercial trying to sell stuff to fans he knows everything about (easy generalization as always). Usual industry guy.
"we also explore services like Steam"... Guys, i have been buying Android Humble Bundles since day of availability. The PC games bundles are 75% of the time Steam keys. This is why i do not buy those bundles.
I agree on the fact that there is a big problem of how to own the game you download on the eShop. I will never buy a digital game on my Nintendo system for high price. As soon as your system fails, you loose the game. For that high price, i am old school: only physical copy. If they offer me a cartridge with Affordable Space Adv. for 40 euros, i would buy it. 20 euros digital: hack no. Even worse if the game exists in another country as a cartridge, like Ace Attorney Dual Destiny. I will NEVER buy it, regardless of the price, if it is not brought to me in France as in the USA as a physical game.
Want, no, need ! My first reaction was to think we were not April 1st. So yes, i want that badly here in France (in English, OK, but release this in Europe please).

I will pick the box version, as well as the amiibo of course.
Re: Midora Developer Admits He Knew Kickstarter Funds Wouldn't Be Enough To Complete The Game
And the guy admits he knew from the beginning... Wow. I hope he will get sued properly, because this is most probably against Kickstarter terms and conditions.

Can't those useless people just work when they are contracted but leave us alone otherwise?
Re: Nintendo Wins Patent Case Against Handhelds
I like also this "ergonomic placement of finger controls"... Yes, well, not to infringe your patent, we decided to place the controls non ergonomically, to voluntary screw up the experience.

Re: Humble Bundle Issues Official Statement About Region-Locked Nintendo Promotion
"we also explore services like Steam"... Guys, i have been buying Android Humble Bundles since day of availability. The PC games bundles are 75% of the time Steam keys. This is why i do not buy those bundles.
