Aahh, the Pokémon Company. I hadn't heard about you and your stingy attitude towards copyright in quite a while. Glad to see you're still as archaic as I remembered!

All that I understand by "more powerful" is "pricier".
I know, I know, rumours are to be taken with a grain of salt, but this requires numerous salt mines.
Yet again, I'll wait for something more official. We don't even know how the "NX" is going to turn out for God's sake.

"No way! Dead is dead."
It feels so weird reading this in a Nintendo thingamajig.

This is amazing. Just... wow.

French is my mother tongue, and I thought I knew most of the obscure slurs, but this list is teaching me new things.
...Wait, "Fatma"? But that's a name... I have a friend named Fatma...
Welp, I know what I'm bookmarking.

Hey NL, remember the Editorial about Localization vs Censorship?
It appears a good chunk of the comment section hasn't read it.
I feel sad for you guys, so much effort wasted

You know what? Let's bring the amiibo meta to a new level.

I want an amiibo amiibo.

I really like it whenever they give you a ton of controller option.

"You don't like the Gamepad? You can use the Pro Controller, the Wiimote, the Nunchuck, the Classic, the Gamecube, the 3DS, your mother and this rock taped to a banana!".

Nonetheless, I'll probably buy it used.

This is really difficult choice. I played both games, but I'm not sure which one to choose...

Just kidding, Blue all the way.

@NintendoFan64 I thought I was reading a Miiverse post for a second. All that is missing is a drawing of Shovel Knight crying.

@vonseux I do want that amiibo. Why?

@FX29 It's like an unhealthy relationship. Everytime I go there, I get out either unsatisfied, angry, saddened, or losing faith in humanity.

And yet I still come back.

@DrkBndr Whoops. Nevermind then.

@zool Because Bayonetta was announced two months ago. Smash may have been released in 2014, but content wise, it's still pretty relevant.

People have no idea the difficulty that localizing a Japanese game is. Not specifically Fire Emblem mind you, but just Japanese games in general.

Ultimately, it's much easier to whine and complain over the alteration of a line. It's human nature after all.

I have already played this game 2 times on the Gamecube and 6 times on the Wii, so I doubt I'm going to buy this version, unless I get it as a gift.
...
But I know I'm gonna buy it anyway because of the goddamn amiibo.

I'll wait here for the people coming to complain over such a silly feature.

Anyone want some popcorn?

@Grumblevolcano For some reason, the French FE Fates official website has February 19th as a release date. It's probably a mistake, but still.

The wild ride that has been (and hopefully will still be) Smash Bros is memorable. This trailer is kind of bitter-sweet, since the train has finally taken a stop.

Along with Mario Kart 8, I felt this DLC to be worth it. It's what it's supposed to be : extra content, not necessary to enjoy the game, since it's already complete.
And the amount of work that Mr Sakurai and his team have put in this is truly inspiring. I honestly believe Smash Bros to be the Ultimate Crossover title that some games strive to become and don't quite make it. It has broken the boundaries of gameplay, genres, franchises, companies and even platforms.
This is probably my favourite game of all time, or at least one of them.

Now, I'm just hoping Sakurai is having a good rest.

I honestly don't care about this franchise (I don't hate it, I'm indifferent).

But MAN, the official artwork of Mario and Sonic looking like this always makes the kid in me squeal of joy.

Oh man! A CGI Sonic movie! There's no way they'll mess that up!

"A live action and animation hybrid"

Nevermind.

But I'm being to harsh. I'll wait for any kind of extra info on the plot and whatnot before judging. This can be very good or very bad (or average I dunno) and considering Sonic's track record, I'll keep my expectations in check.

Let's not swear

MY EYES
...
I'm kidding! I really like the redesign!

I don't like being clickbaited.

But I can't be mad at Alex ._.

People are still going to complain nonetheless, since they won't be able to creepily caress their virtual waifu. I mean, it's the whole point of the game right?
...
What do you mean it's a tactical RPG

Oh my God, the compilation images are fantastic! They look like they're all about to drop the sickest rap ever, like on those cheesy CD covers.
Female Corrin is trying to fan her hand, since the mixtape was WAY too hot!
Ryu and Cloud are about to do a hype rap battle!
I swear the original Bayonetta is trying to do a gangsta pose!
...
I'll show myself out.

What is this feeling...?
Oh right. Envy.

I'm one of the people who simply doesn't want any voice acting in a Zelda game.The unique experience I have gotten from these games comes from their atmosphere, and I find the silence to be endearing.
Call me a purist, but I don't think that just because they can add voice acting, that they should.

Concerning having the choice of a female Link, let me say that I still don't see the point. It wouldn't add anything interesting to the game and we can either have an avatar character on who we can project ourselves or a character with an actual personality, and not both. And 3D Zelda games tend to go to the latter.

What.
There's a possibility that we get Callie and Marie amiibo?
...
Brb, going to pray to every God I know of.

Oh Japan. You will never cease to surprise me...
... Even though Japanese do like their squids for obvious reasons.

I'll just play devil's advocate and say that I'm very unsure of these news, no matter the source.
As per usual, I'll wait for something more official.

Whuh.. wah...? I'm so confused... what?
...
I think I'm buying this? I really don't know ._.

"I'm bored."
"Really, wanna have a match with me?"
"Nah, I'll recreate Princess Peach's castle from Super Mario 64 in Halo 5"
"Oh, okay."

Pssh. Ninja of course.

Calling it now :
Paper Mario Sticker Star 2 : Electric Boogaloo.

Suprisingly, my favorite Paper Mario game was SPM. If the story is as great, it will be awesome, but if not, I'll take nonetheless.
It would be neat if the only redeeming qualities of SS (aesthetics and music) were present too.

French resident here, I can confirm that, while people may prefer PS4 and X1, they definitely don't dislike Nintendo stuff.
And, just to brag, as far as I know, we don't have amiibo shortages or sudden delays

@Thatguywhoeats Well yeah! Can't get any better.
Or can it?...
Oh my God. I got it.
Sonic: The (official) Dating Simulator.
Welp, the Game Awards is unnecessary this year.

@GreatPlayer
Oohh, that would be amazing! You have great taste.

Isn't the whole idea behind the exclusive use of wired controllers by the competitive scene to take in account input delay?
I wonder how it got such good returns. Not that I'm complaining, for the great price.

@kevfrei That's a good question, since it would render it useless in a good deal of games..

That would imply developers had any interest in the systems to begin with

The next announcement is gonna be big. Think of the possibilities:
Sonic Labyrinth Remastered.
Knuckles & Knuckles.
Sonic '16, the sequel to the acclaimed '06.
Shadow the Hedgehog 2. & Knuckles. Featuring Knuckles from the Knuckles May Cry series.
And, what I'm personally expecting:
Knuckles Boom.

"Mario and Religion".
I've never expected to see these two words together ever.
In my opinion, this was the weakest episode. It was less about facts but rather about "Ooh look! It's obviously a reference to Jesus!" kind of stuff.
I like the channel, they can provide very interesting content, but this was beyond click baiting.

Why do people showcase these that soon? Of course it'll get shut down. The creator should have waited until completion. That way, it would circulate on the Internet without being stopped!
... On second thought, it sounds really illegal..

A simplified game maker? In the 90'?
Oh my God, I would have bought this in an instant!

Oh hey, look! The hardly relevant character that everybody cares about for some reason!

I always try to stay optimistic. Unless there are any delays, I'm sure this year will be just fine. Maybe not the greatest, but definitely not the worst.

Japan gets all the cool things

@Grumblevolcano
Who's Daisy?

NINTENDO. NO. COME BACK.
DONT GO INTO THE DARK SIDE.

Oh man, it's been such a long time... Well not really, but still long enough for me to forget that was a thing.
Welp, to watching !

@MarioPhD
Couldn't have said it better. It's a shame really. People can't recognize actual good games nowadays. I mean Splatoon? Really?
Well I won't complain any longer. I shall go play Superman 64.
