I love the artstyle but it felt too generic and simple for me. You just have to remember the info given to you and answer correctly, not much thinking involved. It also lacks the charm of Hotel Dusk's characters.
The game has its flaws but in my opinion it's still infinitely better than Justice for All. I loved the darker tone (Phoenix losing his badge), one of the best opening cases in the series and the absolutely amazing soundtrack.
Chase, Severed and maybe Super Mario Maker for the 3DS. I feel this year was pretty great for the 3DS. Planet Robobot, Zero Time Dilemma, AA: Spirit of Justice, Rhythm Heaven Megamix and FA: Fates.
My favorite is E3 2004, no doubt. Reggie unveiling the DS for the first time, game demos of SM64DS, MP: Hunters. Not to mention the Twilight Princess reveal, one of the most hype moments of all time.
E3 2005 had the Revolution reveal with Iwata. Unfortunately, the control wasn't shown that day, but details were given about the Virtual Console and the compatibility with GC games (first Nintendo home console to have retro compatibility!). Also an announcement of a Metroid Prime and Smash Bros. for the new console and a new TP trailer
E3 2006 was also great, with the Wiimote being demoed with TP, good presence from both Nintendo and third parties. There was also Mario Galaxy and a Brawl trailer with Snake.
E3 2010 had the 3DS reveal, with TONS of games being shown. OOT 3D, MGS3D, KH3D, Paper Mario (that later turnout out to be SS), Layton and The Miracle's Mask, etc. The Wii had DKCR, Skyward Sword (with an on stage controller malfunction), Kirby Epic Yarn, SMG2. Overall, lots of quantity and quality that year.
In recent years, E3 2014 was incredible. Bayonetta announcements, Super Mario Maker, Splatoon, Amiibo, a lot of Smash info, such as the GC controller adaptor, the Zelda U reveal with Aonuma (wow, it's been two years already!).
The worst E3 for Nintendo was 2008. The Wii Music presentation was extremely cringy and the most interesting game they had besides that was Animal Crossing: City Folk. E3 2003 comes close with the big title being Pac Man Vs.
The GBA was the first Nintendo system I've owned. I had the original indigo system and later the backlight SP. The original had an amazing grip and ergonomy, but unfortunately no light. The SP had an excellent display but wasn't that comfortable, and also no headphone jack port (I never had the adapter).
If I were to rate my favorite portables it would be: DS > GBA > 3DS.
The GBA had so many great titles: Wario Land 4, Sonic Advance, Megaman Zero, Advance Wars, FE7, Metroid Fusion, WarioWare Inc., Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, Zelda: Minish Cap, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga... Not to mention the original Japanese Ace Attorney titles and hidden gems like Gunstar Super Heroes.
And it's much more impressive if you consider that the DS came out just 3 years after the GBA. Incredible library even with a short lifespan!
I'm playing it right now. The reaction system is one of the most creative gameplay additions on a turn based RPG and I'm glad it's still used in its successors.
The music is incredible, the combat is very fun, the dialogue is pretty funny and of course, the original characters like Mallow and Geno are great. I'd say they are one of the Mario RPGs greatest strengths.
While there isn't a direct sequel, PM an M&L are great successors and take much of what made the original great.
To be honest, I didn't like 2015 (especially Nintendo's E3 presentation). But 2016 is looking great to me!
For the 3DS, it looks like it's gonna be its best year since 2013. There's Fire Emblem Fates, Zero Escape 3, Paper Jam, two Dragon Quest remakes, a nice Hyrule Warriors port with many extras, a very possible Pokémon Z and maybe even some unannounced titles.
It's Zelda's 30th anniversary, which means Nintendo is gonna give the celebration it deserves. (I don't think the same can be said about Metroid unfortunately).
There's also Sonic's 25th anniversary. The series hasn't being doing well recently, but I love the series and deep inside I wish they make a great classic Sonic based game.
And at last, what I'm hyped for the most this year: seeing the NX and its games for the first time. I've never been this curious to see a new Nintendo console, since I have no idea of what it is (And I don't even wanna guess).
"zomg it will be filled with crappy mobile games, it will be literally the ouya!!!1" Running on Android doesn't mean it will run Android games/be easy to pirate. The Dreamcast ran on Windows CE, and it didn't run Windows games. The PS Vita runs on an Unix based OS, and it hasn't been hacked to this day. Sure, you can run some PSP homebrew on it, but it doesn't have native hacks like the 3DS does.

I remember playing this game a lot. The 2D graphics were pretty great and it was nice to see an older, (wiser?) Terry Bogard.

Re: Gallery: Nintendo Announces amiibo for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
I will get the Archer Link when it comes out. You can't even compare the Smash Bros. line Link with the new one, this looks 1000x better.
Also dat giant guardian.
