@Mega719 That's goods actually, more potential sales as careful parents inspect it. But my point still stands, there is no cleavage, no "Bayonetta" removal of clothing or anything. It's just a woman exercising. Okay, I'm done now.
I would call it "realistic" or "adaptive" rather than sexualized. If other games from other companies present girl characters this way, then there is no problem. Simple as that. The game will probably be rated T anyway, and that's the age where this becomes normal. Also, it's normal for girls to do athletic activity wearing a sports bra and short shorts. Nothing sexual intended, from my point of view.
I'm envious of that kid with the shiny Gyarados plush. I've been looking to buy one for months, but it's $500 on eBay and I just can't afford it Ah well, the life of a fan is a tough one! I'll have it some day!
I was originally going to wait until Christmas to get this, but with the pre-order bonuses AND Ganondorf promotion, there's no reason to wait. It's also a good way to pass the days until Smash Bros. 3DS!
Oh my goodness, this is the perfect Christmas present! Mind you, I don't plan on playing it very much, but displaying the box and those sweeeeet extras Hopefully it doesn't sell out...
As for the Amiibos, I chose the option that I will get as many as I can afford. However, I will - one day in the distant future - own them all. I have other video game things that I want to invest in.
Zora's Domain is my favorite Zelda location and has the best music I'm even wearing my Zora's Domain shirt right now, and have Zora's Domain and Gerudo Valley canvas prints on my wall It's a good life being a Nintendo "super-fan". I hope to go to the Pokemon Symphonic Evolutions later this year, if there is one in the San Francisco area.
I was initially very angry at this, but now I'm content with their decision. This gives me more time to collect the Platinum rewards from years prior! They had to cap it off at some point, and this upcoming year is my chance to take advantage. I'll be picking up NES Remix because I want Game & Wario and Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D in retail boxes.
But I have no money left...and I'm saving up for Smash Bros. and Alpha Sapphire I have to make it work somehow! Kirby Triple Deluxe and Tomodachi Life shall be mine!
I am putting out my obligatory wish of Jill, from Drill Dozer I am always the only one to suggest her and I want to keep it that way! Come on Sakurai, I know you have it in you.
Nothing for me this month. I'm extremely excited for the Elite Status rewards, though! This will be my third year of service and my third Platinum reward!
I'll be getting Smash Bros. for Wii U at launch, but that's about it until Christmas. I'll only get two amiibos initially...you rich people who can afford all of them are no friends of mine I'm just kidding, I love you.
Nobody feels this much sympathy and respect for the president of any other company. Because this is Nintendo, where the true fans sense corruption from a mile away It's just so stupid to me, really. Nintendo puts so much loving care into their products, no matter how traditional they may be. It's nice that they changed their image for the better at E3, but that shouldn't have been necessary. Either way, some of the disgusting comments on other websites regarding Iwata's surgery and illness make me SICK. Mindless attraction to Microsoft or Sony is one thing, but disrespect is another.
@C-Threep I think it's around mid-July, although there is never a set time. I cannot wait for that myself, because I want the Platinum rewards to be better than the last two years.
I didn't get it. I have both Animal Crossing: New Leaf and Platinum Status, as I'm sure most of you have as well. Wasn't planning on getting this game anyway, Nintendo...
My local GameStop is a very enjoyable place. I can talk about upcoming releases with a couple of the employees and bring my 3DS for occasional StreetPass encounters. I don't know what people have wrong with it, but that may just be an outcome of my good experience. Regardless, I doubt that it would ever close, because there is only one in the city.
I expect a release MONTH, at least one newcomer and at least one veteran, along with information on the different modes and online functionality. Having 30+ minutes to talk about this single game warrants all of these options.
This is such a hype-generating picture! This is the first piece of significant Luigi's Mansion content we have seen thus far. I'd really like to see one or more of the Portrait Ghosts from the original game become Assist Trophies and Trophies, namely Chauncey, Biff Atlas, the Clockwork Soldiers and Vincent Van Gogh. The latter would be interesting because he could spawn multiple ghosts and they could serve as obstacles.
My first post here! I've been reading all of your comments for a while now and have decided to join the conversation Glad to make your acquaintance.
Anyway, I just bought a Pro Controller on Amazon and plan on using it as my new proprietary controller. I bought it in preparation for Mario Kart 8 and Smash Bros, but I am pretty sure that Virtual Console games are compatible as well. So, if that's true, I will be using it for Metroid Fusion and Superstar Saga next Thursday

Re: The First 4 Figures Sword Kirby is Cute But Costly
This is awesome! Since I'll (hopefully) be nabbing a couple of these figures for Christmas, maybe I'll be able to get this for my birthday!

Re: This Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate Box Art May Get Its Claws Into You
I think I'll wait for the Wii U version, because I have MH3U on the Wii U. Plus, it's just a better experience on the TV!
Re: This Master Arts Metroid Prime 2 Light Suit From First 4 Figures Has Lit Up Our Day
I'm thinking about getting a different and less expensive figure from that site: Fire Sage Darunia. I already have a space reserved and everything!

Re: Review: Internal Invasion (Wii U eShop)

By the way, where are the Elite Status rewards?
