We really need a Nintendo Direct to address all of these rumors and leaks Twilight Princess HD and all of these Virtual Console games are present in the eShop NOW in some capacity, so I'd think that something would be coming soon. We also have people claiming to know the next Smash Bros. fighter, which is apparently going to be revealed by the end of this month. I'm sure there's plenty I missed as well. The only thing we can really do it hope for the best, as always.
Speaking of Game Boy, I just bought all 6 main Game Boy Pokemon games on eBay yesterday. I spent an exorbitant amount of money for them, but they're quite a collection piece!
I've been requesting this song from him for years. Sad that it happened this way, but extremely happy that he did it! I'm covered in goosebumps just listening to this song again.
I'll admit that I cried a bit this morning. People are making such touching tributes to Mr. Iwata and it's just so moving. I know for a fact that I would be a different person today if he hadn't risen in the ranks. I'm sure the same goes for many of you as well. Therefore, thank you for playing Iwata.
I'm guessing you all have English tea in those mugs: we have that a lot at our house too But overall, I changed my opinion from absolute hatred of Nintendo to appreciation of the effort. They are indeed transforming, which makes it hard for them to think in the present. They probably have an incredible launch line-up for the NX being created right now - and I can't blame them. They've learned their lesson this generation and will hopefully fix their mistakes. This was just awkward timing, that's all.
Nice to see two fellow Californians out of the eight! I hope to be up there one day, and seeing as these guys are mostly much older than I am, anything is possible! I'll always say that my favorite game is Luigi's Mansion...always. Good luck to everyone!
@MrRaven1972 You should start with Super Paper Mario, because it's least like the rest. It's an AMAZING game though, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Then you should go for 64 (which I have yet to play) and The Thousand-Year Door, because they are both RPGs. Sticker Star can be burned in Tartarus. (JK, but if you're going to play that at all, play it last after buying it for $10)
@JaxonH The best we have so far is the Paper Mario Wii U pamphlet that leaked on 2chan and the interview with Splatoon producer Hisashi Nogami, saying he can't talking about Animal Crossing Wii U "at the moment". I believe both of these will be announced next week.
Maybe at the end of or before the championships, they will show a new trailer for Zelda U with its title. Aonuma could make an appearance as well. Probably not though.
Interesting that they decide to release this information now. Super Mario Galaxy seems like a rather odd and sudden choice for the Virtual Console, two weeks before E3. Perhaps they want people to get their backlogs cleared and prepare for something new ...SUPER MARIO SUNSHINE 2!
Update: I have now finished Octo Valley (with several Scrolls left to collect) and reached Level 11! I hope the rest of you get up to the Level 10 threshold soon.
@Donutman 15-year-old here who has been a crazed Nintendo fan since my first console, the Game Boy Advance. There's definitely a small community of teenagers who think like I do over the entire video game ecosystem. Nintendo always comes first in my mind, and always will. The thing is, all those "mainstream" games will be perfect gap-fillers for the premium Nintendo classics, because they become so inexpensive! All in all, you're very much correct for the majority, but some rational thinkers would rather put "fun" before "glory"
I think I'll go for Kirby's Dream Course, because I haven't played it yet and I want to collect more Kirby games. I only have Air Ride and Mass Attack, which is not a bad start, I guess...
Overall, I'm ecstatic about these newcomers. We have old-school favorites (Pac-Man, Mega Man, Little Mac) mixed with new arrivals (Shulk, Greninja, Robin, etc), as well as some other integral Nintendo figureheads (Villager, Wii Fit Trainer). Props to Sakurai and the team for scouring this deep. I can't wait to have an Inkling Amiibo next generation, though
I can't decide whether to get the New 3DS or New 3DS XL, someone please help sway my decision! I have the Pikachu Edition 3DS XL right now, and I want to keep it. For that reason I want the small New 3DS, but I want to experience Smash Bros. and Xenoblade and Pokemon on a large screen! Ugh.
If the footage is indeed being reviewed by the ESRB, then we should be seeing another (official) trailer to announce these three characters. I approve of this!
