i'm dying

Well... Yeah.

Really interesting seeing the different opinions of people I've seen comment before.

@Samurai_Goroh Yes, I agree they weren't paying too much, just stating the arguments some had for leaving.

@remag I understand.

@TrueWiiMaster Hillary is a horrible person, true, but at least she has experience in government and can control her temperament. Also her foreign policy and economic plans are far better than Trump's. Also, there's the added bonus of her not saying minorities are rapists, criminals, or terrorists.

If I were old enough, I would've liked to have voted for Sanders, but Hillary's second and Trump should never be considered...

@remag

Not really looking to get into an argument over this but I wish Britain had voted to stay.

@freaksloan

You do realize the EU and the UN are different, right?

@MasterWario

I'm not British, but I think the common sentiment was they were paying too much to the EU, and they disliked their stance on refugees and immigration.

CIRCLE Entertainment? Not surprised.

Wow...

You know it's bad when people side with modern-day Sonic over the creator of Mega Man.

Oh, how the mighty fall.

@NinjaWaddleDee

Ah. Well that is unfortunate, but I think as the idea is more commonplace it'll get better.

@NinjaWaddleDee

You could always put a extra copy on a back-up hard drive if you had to.

I'm not sure entirely what you mean when you reference Marvel or Konami, I haven't heard about what happened with them.

@Titan_Clocker I'm with you're idea, overall, though. I think digital's best. The only reason I bought a physical version of Birthright was to get a discounted download of Conquest.

@NinjaWaddleDee A "license to own them"? It's downloaded on your system, forever, not like the early Xbox One "stream the game" idea.

If it's gonna be closer to the 3DS cartridge as opposed to previous consoles, I'm all for it.

@ASonic3582 I don't think they can use gold to buy the DLC, I think they get in-game gold as a bonus for buying the map pack.

I feel like this list was skewed by the new voting system. I think I a lot of people didn't bother to vote because it wasn't just a "click one" poll.

@xPH03N1Xx86

Yeah, I agree. I think the list last year was all 20 games, digital and physical, on one page.

Happy to see the love for Fire Emblem!

Fire Emblem to the DEATH.

Awesome! I'm glad the series is continuing to grow.

@Ryu_Niiyama Ah, okay thanks. I've never viewed any S rank conversations with the Hoshidan siblings.

I married Kagero in Birthright.

Fantastic!

I finished Birthright a few days ago, and I'm on Chapter 27 in the Conquest campaign now. I tried to buy the special edition but I was too late by the time I got enough money, they'd sold out. :/

I look forward to the explanation of why you can marry your Hoshidan siblings, because honestly, it creeped me out too much to even do do it(even though I really like Sakura's character). I married Camilla, and I still sometimes kinda cringe when she calls the avatar her brother in the Conquest campaign.

I absolutely loved the Awakening vibe of Birthright(challenging, but with grinding levels) of Birthright, and I was actually really pleased with Conquest too. I'm the type of guy who always plays on Normal in games, so I was intitally cautious of Conquest's difficulty. I gotta say, it is at times brutal(The last 5 campaign chapters I've played, I was down to my last pair of units by the time I won. Here's a hint: THE NOHRIAN SIBLINGS ARE YOUR FRIENDS. SEND YOUR CHILDREN INTO COMBAT TO DIE IF IT MEANS YOU CAN KEEP THE SIBLINGS ALIVE.), it's really rewarding when "Stage Complete!" flashes on the screen. If I had to replay one of them, I'd definitely choose Conquest. I'm also glad the avatar dying in combat doesn't mean game over, like it did in Awakening.

I was originally skeptic Fates would be better than Awakening, but it is, without a doubt. Characters, maps, story, weapons, cutscenes, support conversations, everything is better this time around.

I'm really intrigued by Azura... Like, seriously, never before has a video game character interested me more, except for maybe pre-Lucina Marth in Awakening.

@wolvesboy Lol whatever.

When I first played Awakening(my first Fire Emblem title), I didn't think the support system was OP. I did realize however, by around Chapter 13(When the game's story and difficulty were supposed to really start taking off), The Valmese army(portrayed in the game as incredibly dangerous soldiers) were rarely able to defeat more 1 than of my pairings in battle, and that was usually because they weren't at S support with each other yet.

This time around, with the inclusions of turrets, enemy units pairing up,, changes to the players' units pairing up, and the Dragonvein feature, I'm really looking forward to more strategy being needed to win battles.

I really agree with this. Awakening was the first FE title I bought, and while I remember at the time thinking it was peculiar NoA chose to censor/"localize" the picture of Tharja, it didn't really irritate me that much. Tons of places had the original picture for download anyway, if anyone really wanted it.

I have the same feeling about the differences between NoA's version of Fates and Japan's. Never once in the hundreds of hours of playing Awakening did I think "I really wish I could rub Chrom's/Tharja's(my main two units to marry) cheek."

Actually, I've never been upset about localization that I can remember.

I really don't care, I'm dropping $80 on Fates for the campaign, story, and multiplayer.

I didn't even know Skinship existed until everyone was complaining about it's being changed.

I think she's a awesome addition to the roster.

Oh come on, I was looking forward to dominating noobs online ._.

That's part of the fun in any multiplayer.

Seems fair to me..

Because animation/live-action mashups always work so well. Cough The Smurfs Cough

I want buttcheeks and conversion therapy in my Fire Emblem, dammit!

I'm so happy Fates is leading the pack in votes. I hope it's a success akin to Awakening.

i hate life

@DoctorWily It's for the people that like... That stuff.

Will everyone chill? Seriously, it's just the guy's opinion.

@sillygostly Microsoft is roughly 1/3 of the industry, dude.

I really like Linkle. I think she's a good idea and cool addition to the canon.

@Shiryu Nice work, dude.

@mjc0961 The Bayonetta series and The Wonderful 101 aren't good in your opinion? Why in the world not?

I liked Shattered Dimensions, personally, but the other Spider-Man titles they made developed didn't really do anything for me.

Hopefully things work out for them.

ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY BIGLEY.

This tugged at my heartstrings so much I think one snapped.

I love how this review brings out the 'journalist' in all of you haha.

I actually agreed with this review on pretty much everything.

If you don't, then just chill. NintendoLife has not 'lost respect' or anything for this review. They gave Alex permission to publish this review, sharing his OPINION.

If you don't agree with his opinion, just chill.

@abbyhitter I don't believe Alex reviewed the first game. So, maybe the first was like, a 5 in his opinion. Not all reviewers have the same views.

@Chrizzel28 Oh, stop whining, please. They gave it a 6, which is above average.

I've played it, and it's nothing mind-blowing. They are better fighting games for 3DS, like Street Fighter, that's on sale right now.

You could do worse, yes, but you can definitely do better. Tekken 3D is better than this.

Come to papa.

Awesome, I was hoping for some nod to Fire Emblem: Awakening.

I agree with @AlexSora89

Nintendo has never needed huge processing or graphical power to make a masterpiece of a game.

The majority of third-party developers skip Nintendo platforms however, because of the graphics and controls.

NX really needs to succeed. Nintendo can't afford 3 failed launches in a row.

Nintendo hasn't been interested in playing 'the power game' since the Gamecube, so I wouldn't be surprised if this was true. I don't think the console-portable build of the NX is the reason they would go this way. Nintendo's gone the route of being the cheapest for awhile now. Whether or not it's working, given their financial reports, is up for debate.

People don't buy Nintendo games or systems for the graphics. That's just the truth. It's for the gameplay, at the end of the day.

It's unique design and Nintendo's signature gameplay are what will make NX a success, I believe. Time will tell, in any event.

So yeah, I'm not having a hard time imagining this to be true. We'll see.

Awwww ^–^

I agree. I agree wholeheartedly. Give this man a medal.
