@-DEMISE- Wait, the figures are getting Amiibo treatment for this. EVERYONE, RUN TO THE GAMESTOP BARGAIN BIN! Last time I checked, Tom Nook was $5! Really though, I might buy 1 or 2 figures, hopefully including Rover. I think there's a Rover Amiibo exclusive to Target or something.
"They're fun, casual cosplay hats designed to look cool and keep you warm. Everyone loves Mario, Luigi and Link, but we want to show some love for the less celebrated Nintendo characters like Chomp, Monty Mole and Shy Guy."
WHERE'S KOOPA TROOPA AND DRY BONES? Forget that, where are the Zelda characters? They clearly mentioned Link. Nintendo beanies for kids line 2?
I don't care what anyone says: that Boo Ghost hat looks amazing. They do look a bit more like beanies than hats, though. For kids. I think they are all pretty nice looking, except for the Bullet Bill one. Something about the arm...
@-DEMISE- A couple weeks ago, I went to a Target to buy a Ryu Amiibo that I've never seemed to buy. They only had Lucas, Zelda, and the Animal Crossing crew. 2 weeks later, I check. The Animal Crossing Amiibos seemed untouched. They replaced all of the Smash Amiibo, though!
I completely lost it at the Wolf Link Amiibo part. I couldn't believe that Nintendo did this. Then again, they've always cared more about their fans more than money.
@faint I don't really know the PGO statistics, but it still seems bad how they split 5 ways. They should have given it only to TPC or Nintendo (although Nintendo technically owns TPC).
@Turniplord I like this idea a lot. It can give Microsoft bad ratings to prepare for the NX, and the few XBOX players who played the emulator can possibly act like free advertising for the Mimi NES.
Nintendo, do you still want people to buy the Mini NES? Strike this down and it's your time to shine! Really though, how have they not DMCA reported this? Unlike fan games, they're making an EMULATOR for NES games! At least with Polemon Uranium (a game I got before Pheonix Wright showed up), the game had new things. Welcome to XBOX, NES games!
Wait, #1? "Don't worry folks, in Skunky B's Super Slot Saga #2, we are making more fun slot machines for you, including a new way to play!" The game turns out to have slightly better graphics, the slots on a few levels almost always make you lose, and the new way to play is adding a 4th slot to all of the machines.
@Wandman5612 It's The POKEMON Company, so I think they should have gotten a better deal with POKEMON Go. It uses their creatures and a bit of the formula in the games.
@Dpullam Yeah, I really wish the money was at least a 50/50 split. It's a shame that Nintendo/The Pokemon Company couldn't get a better deal than what they ended up with.
It's just a game where you catch Pokemon! The Pokestops are everywhere!I really don't understand how people can think of paying more than 500 million for an unfinished, buggy game. Maybe 400 million was made in the opening week, and then I could see why. It was a "masterpiece" at the time, when tracking worked.
Sorry, I just had to rant a bit. Pokemon Go to me is an insult to gaming, but I'm not trying to put down anyone who likes the game. Have a nice day.
I'll predict the new release windows for FE Mobile/ Animal Crossing Mobile for iOS. Animal Crossing Mobile - Feburary to April 2017 FE Mobile - March - June 2017 Let's not even mention Nintendo on Android right now...
@AlexSora89 Wait, WHAT? Legendary Pictures and the Gravity Falls team (Still the best Disney Channel show to date) are working on Detective Pikachu!? How could I have missed this?
I need the 8-bit one. It would look great next to my Modern and Classic 8-Bit Mario Amiibos. It is a bit troubling to see that a new Amiibo line was announced while Corrin and others are MIA.
I can see why Nintendo did this. The 2 comments above this comment clearly show there is an audience for this. However, this seems more Local then the Wii U version because you cannot play other 3DS made levels. At least you can play Wii U levels! Now, I want to see more people rage at Pit Of Panga.
Please don't mess this up, Nintendo. Besides my worries, this game reminds me of Kirby Canvas Curse, a game from the early DS lineup that only used the stylus.
This game looks like Mario Sports Mix, one of the only sports games I've played and enjoyed. I cannot wait for this version! Although I am calling that there will be DLC for another sport. I hope it might the Dodge-ball game from Sports Mix, the only game I was moderately good at.
Is it just me or is Gladion the Pokemon version of Ghirahim? That pose is too similar...
Also, UB-01 is Lilith from Fire Emblem : Fates. The similarities are real with this game.
@Spoony_Tech True. Maybe they are thinking, "Didn't we reveal the Wii U around a year before it's release?" They learned from their past mistake with the Wii U, but maybe they think it was too much time in between. I have no idea. Nintendo's name might mean "leave luck to heaven", and they're obviously doing that with the NX.
How did Streetpass become my 2nd most anticipated thing from the Direct? You have Super Downgrade Maker, Yoshi and Poochy's Watercolored World, Chibi-Pikmin, and Mario Sports Mix 2. If your bored, try to guess my order for these.
The problem with the app is that most people, myself included, are on Team Mystic and create an unbalance inside the competitive part of the game. Pushing that aside, I think this might be a step in the correct direction for Niantic.
The Splatfests really defined the game, yet they were taken away. However, the free DLC sort of fills the gap for this amazing game. I hope they make an NX version of this.
@Chrno-x I completley forgot Miyamoto said that! Besides YWW, my main complaints were that a few of the titles givien "screen time" were just heavily stripped versions of other games. For example, Mario Maker 3DS doesn't have Mystery Mushrooms that added so much uniqueness to the levels. So much lost potential.
@RatKing64 What I was trying to say was that Nintendo knows that the Wii U has flopped, but wants to give the other console more popularity before they release the NX. They want more people to forget about the Wii U, so they are willing to buy the NX. I definetly could have used better word choice, though.
I love the new DLC! I thought Toon Zelda (Thanks, leaks) was going to be a sluggish character compared to the rest, but her moveset here makes her one of the best characters (in my opinion.) I also love how Toon Link got his train.
I was sad to see that Pikmin 4 is 2D, but beside that I really enjoyed the Direct. Favorite announcement is probably Mario Sports Superstars.
I can never forget the 8-bit Link amiibo. Right when I think I'm done...

Re: Gallery: Check Out Pokémon Refresh, New Z-Moves, Pokémon Bank and More For Sun and Moon
I thought the custom clothes were X/Y exclusive. Maybe Pokémon is trying something new by not keeping too much locked to a generation?
Re: Animal Crossing: New Leaf's Fall Update Will Handle The Weeding So You Don't Have To
@-DEMISE- Well, I go to a shopping center of sorts, so the prices might be different. Then again, we are talking about Gamestop.
Re: Super Smash Bros. for Wii U
I'm laughing abbot at the people who thought this website is created by Nintendo. I was happy with the roster as soon as Roy was added.

Re: Pokémon GO Sets Another Record as it Reaches $500 Million in Customer Spend
@faint Hmm... Seems fair enough. At least TPC is getting credit, I'm happy.

Re: Yacht Club Games Reveals Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment
I've been waiting for this, although I was positive that King Knight was next. Oh well, I like Specter Knight's boss battle. This will be interesting!
Re: 3DS Update 11.1.0-34 Brings Even More Stability To Nintendo's Incredibly Stable Handheld
@Handsomistic15 "Now, you're playing with stability!" should be the new 3DS catchphrase.
Re: 3DS Update 11.1.0-34 Brings Even More Stability To Nintendo's Incredibly Stable Handheld
Maybe they're hinting that the NX will be the most stable console to date!

Re: The Xbox One Might Be Getting A NES Emulator

Re: Buddy Pokémon Confirmed by Niantic for Pokémon GO
@AlexSora89 It's still really amazing that you can create this kind of stuff, though. And it's just for the Nintendo Life audience!
Re: Buddy Pokémon Confirmed by Niantic for Pokémon GO
@AlexSora89 You went above and beyond with this!
Re: Random: Car Insurance Firm Pokes Fun At Those Who Pokémon GO Behind The Wheel

Re: Poochy & Yoshi’s Woolly World
This game has some purpose, or at least more than Local Mario Maker. Also, I think the Poochy levels might add a bit more to the game.

Re: Hyrule Warriors Legends Phantom Hourglass & Spirit Tracks DLC Pack is Out Today
I love the new DLC! I thought Toon Zelda (Thanks, leaks) was going to be a sluggish character compared to the rest, but her moveset here makes her one of the best characters (in my opinion.) I also love how Toon Link got his train.
Re: Feature: The Big Nintendo Direct Summary - 1st September
Seeing that 2 of it's best titles (in my opinion) are now for the 3DS, Nintendo has officially given up of marketing the Wii U.
Re: Feature: The Big Nintendo Direct Summary - 1st September
I was sad to see that Pikmin 4 is 2D, but beside that I really enjoyed the Direct. Favorite announcement is probably Mario Sports Superstars.
