As I have been waiting for some kind of deal or bundle to take the plunge on buying a Switch, all I am hoping for is an announcement of the Splatoon 2 bundle for NA.
@ieatdragonz I've bought multiple versions of Namco Museum on multiple systems basically because of Dig Dug. That's my favorite. I also always loved playing Rolling Thunder in the arcades I don't remember that game ever being on these compilations before, so that this really tempting.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Correct me if I'm wrong (I might be, I don't pay that much attention to these things) but of the 17 Switch games on there, aren't only 5 first-party (Mario, Pokken, Arms, Splatoon, and Xenoblade)? Even if you want to throw in the Rabbids and FE Warriors because they use first-party characters, that still makes it 7-10 first-party to third-party. Seems like a good ratio to me.
Looks like it could be like Inazuma Eleven, only with golf. Which I think would be great because I liked Inazuma Eleven enough but never got around to finishing it just because I'm not a big soccer (sorry European friends, football) fan, but I like golf a lot better.
How many people are saying they would buy this exact game if only it had Punch Out characters? And how many people have said they would buy the exact same game as 1-2 Switch if only it was called WarioWare Switch? People won't even buy Nintendo's own games unless they have their old IP characters, and then they wonder why more third parties don't put their games on Nintendo systems.
Does it not look like Link is about to transform into something right before the trailer ends? I thought that was going to be the spoiler, and then I read on and saw they were really only talking about the dragon.
This is like the third time that Europe has gotten a discount on a game that I want, but North America hasn't gotten it. I wish they would match up more.
I went to Toys R Us on Monday to look for Christmas gifts for the kids, and I overheard a man asking one of the workers if they had any left after the restock on Sunday. She told him that people were lining up outside before they even closed on Saturday. Some of that may have been for the Hatchimals, too, but that is ridiculous. Glad I didn't care enough to try to get up early on Sunday, because I still would have been way too late.
I actually loved this game as a kid. It was so hard, and it was such a great feeling to finally master the balloon, get to a new place I'd never reached before, and beat the game. One of the games I was most excited to finally beat, right up there with Mario 3 and Zelda.
Has anyone played this and Metal Gear Solid on PS1? I loved this game but never had a Playstation. Then I stayed at my cousin's house once who had one and MGS so I tried it. I'm pretty sure they are the exact same game, only Konami changed some character design and added the awesome battle system to HH. I didn't play much of MGS so don't kill me if I'm wrong about the whole game, but the opening levels seemed practically identical in look, feel, and playstyle other than the fighting. It always made me wonder why MGS is considered such a classic and few even know about this game.
I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere else, but IGN's review made it sound like everything was just kind of pointless. It didn't matter if you paid attention to what a customer wanted or how well you did at the rhythm game, they would almost always succeed in their quest. Can anyone comment on if they found this to be true or not? Because while the RPG aspects and trying to discover and make the perfect weapon for each NPC sounds good, if it really does not matter at all then I'm not sure about getting this.
It shouldn't really be a surprise that AC won the handheld category. All the people who refuse to play a Nintendo system voted for it, while all the people that know the many 3DS games are better split their votes between all the games, so no one 3DS game received a ton of votes.
I can't really explain why, but for some reason the SNES games are one of my least favorite in their respective series (Zelda, Mario, Metroid). Chrono Trigger, on the other hand, is my second favorite game ever, only behind the original Legend of Zelda.
I walked through Wal-Mart yesterday and saw at least one of each of the Basic and Deluxe Wii U's in their case, plus there may have been some behind those that I couldn't see. Apparently it isn't that popular here.
That's what I want to know, too. My wife and I have loved playing these games together in the same town, and I'm wondering if we can still do that now that you are the mayor instead of just a citizen.
To anybody that's been to one already, how long does it last? I'm trying to convince my wife to go, but we'd have to be out pretty late since it's 1.5 hours from where we'll be.
This is still my favorite game of all time. There's a person in each dungeon that gives you a subtle clue to the location of the next dungeon, so you actually have to think and explore to find it, but it's not completely random luck. Much better than just following an arrow on the screen or an X on your map, in my opinion.

I either didn't get one or I got 5 of them. I guess I'll find out soon.

Re: US Release Date Confirmed for Duck Hunt on the Wii U Virtual Console
My favorite part is that "the limitations of modern screens" are making them put crosshairs on the screen. The game will probably be a lot easier now.

Re: Armillo Update Rolling Through Nintendo Approval Process
I wondered why I couldn't find the cube in 3-1. I had no idea it was not there at all.
Re: Photos With Mario Available for Free Now in North American eShop
If you read the description of the game, it sounds like they come free with $10 eShop cards, but only Mario, Peach, and Goomba will be available here.

Re: This LEGO City: Undercover Trailer is a Treat
I have been mildly interested in this game as one I might want if I have nothing else to play. The Shawshank stuff alone has now made this a must get.
