I'll be downloading Splatoon on next Tuesday (pay day). Thankfully still within the 10% discount time frame. Can't wait! I'll pick up that Splatoon theme too to get hyped for the game
Cool! I like that NL is giving some news time to some of the latest fan translations available. I myself am enjoying Tales of Vesperia on my PS3 thanks to a fan translation that I had waited years for them to finish. I'm only 5 hours in but I'm greatly enjoying the game so far, it was well worth the wait. I'm really liking the characters I've met so far, unlike in Tales of Hearts. But in any case, yay fan translations!
I've attempted to play a couple of DQ games but DQ8 is definitely my favourite. I wish they'd localise it already. Why can't Nintendo help them like they did DQ IX?
I really don't mind to be honest. It's just too convenient for me to download Splatoon, for example, & have it there to play whenever I want without having to swap discs. So that's what I'm going to do. In 10 years time I'll be playing something different so still having access to 10+ years old games isn't really a big deal to me.
I follow hundreds of miiverse users. Does Nintendo really expect me to click the profile of hundreds of people just to check if they have made more than 1 post since the last time I visited miiverse? The speed increase of the activity feed loading is minimal compared to how it was before the update. & now it's overall much slower since I have to click on numerous profiles as well. & the activity feed is fickle on Wii U, it always seems to want to reload after changing pages & going back, which I'll now have to frequently do, making the experience even slower. Why can't this sortof thing be optional? Quite the downgrade to miiverse.
Hear, hear! It's a great shame that Nintendo can't see the forest for the trees. Constantly chasing an elusive & fickle blue ocean rather than catering to the vocal fans who would more than willingly keep throwing money at them for years to come if Nintendo would just play nice. Oh well.
Cool! I downloaded it & was disappointed at the lack of ability to try out more of the game but I know for sure I'll buy it when I can afford it. Too bad I can't play it on my New 3DS XL as I don't have it hooked up to a NNID. I'll just have to play it on my old 3DS XL.
Why even tell me this NL?!? DQ 8 is my favourite of them all, though admittedly I haven't played that many of them. This will never make it to the west & that SUCKS!!! >.<
If you play a GBA game on a DS lite & close the lid will it go into sleep-mode like normal DS games or not because the GBA wasn't designed with a sleep function built in?
That's really sad. I absolutely loved Arc Rise Fantasia, it had a slow start but after that it got really epic story-wise & the music was fantastic. I knew it would never happen but I dreamt of making a sequel that followed on from the end of the first game & I had some really interesting ideas if I do say so myself. Sadly that's even less of a chance of happening now. Not to mention the sad missing of a human being.
Hear, hear. I want a subscription service for virtual console games. I never liked the idea of paying a monthly fee for stuff but with Netflix I absolutely love the idea now. Paying $12 a month for all the movies & TV shows they have & I have the time to watch is awesome! I want all the virtual console games available to me as long as I keep paying a subscription fee. It's such a good idea! Do this Nintendo. DO IT! DO IT NOW!
My feelings about this app exactly. I was lucky enough to unlock a demo of a game I didn't own with the one amiibo I do own. Others have been not so lucky.
@Mario_Fart Yeah admittedly I am finding it a little hard to control. I always used the Wiimote + Nunchuk option when I played the game back in the day. Using the gamepad to play the game made the reticle feel slow but then I found an option to turn reticle speed to "very fast" & now it feels a bit too fast haha. It'll take a while to get used to for sure, I may just end up using a wiimote later.
Already bought it from the eShop I still have my Wii copy lying around somewhere but who wants to deal with discs? Not me. Plus I've heard when a Wii VC eShop game utilises the Wii Classic Controller, you can actually play with the Wii U Gamepad. Can't wait to find out if that's true!
Edit: Yay! It's true, don't need any wiimotes, nunchuks or classic controllers to play this game. Just the Wii U gamepad!
