SoulSilver was my first Pokémon game, but White just blew me away. White 2 was absolutely amazing, and holds the record for my number 1 favourite Pokémon game ever. I love the post-game, I love the story, I love the region, I love the new features, and I love the Pokémon. Easily my favourite gen!

I just got the original Bayonetta on PS3 (since I don't own a Wii U and my cousin gifted me his old PS3) and I absolutely love it. Wishing this studio all the best!

I haven't gotten any full retail 3DS games in a looooong time, with the last one being Ultimate NES Remix last May (WOW), and me spending my money on amiibo and smaller games like Shovel Knight and Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures since then. However, there are a few I'm very hyped for this year, namely:
Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam Bros (which is out here, but I can't afford it right now)
Yo-Kai Watch (looks very interesting)
Hyrule Warriors Legends (I friggin' LOVE beat-'em-ups)
Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games (I have a soft spot for that series)
the currently unannounced Pokémon game that we all know is coming. Gaps between Pokémon releases are usually never bigger than a year, and 2015 was that year. And with Pokémon's 20th anniversary and the new Zygarde forms, I think it is undeniable.

...I'm confused. What kind of game is this? Action? Puzzle? Combat-oriented? Flying simulation? I honestly don't know what to make of it...I guess I'll see when it releases

I picked it up this september on my birthday, and I absolutely love it. I have to be honest, I haven't beaten it yet, but the amiibo is already on his way

I may get Shingeki no Kyojin: Humanity in Chains for that price, but Christmas is expensive, depends on how much money I still have.

Well...at least it's better than the last one? To be fair, following 13 Wishes there really wasn't any way to go but up, but still.

This will never happen, not in a million years. Even if Nintendo were to shift to competitor consoles they'd probably go with the PlayStation. First of all the Xbox barely has any market share in Japan, the location Nintendo tends to primarily focus on (though I know they're starting to open up). Secondly, Nintendo's philosophy clashes greatly with the impression I have from the Xbox development team. Granted, I only really know them through all the Did You Know Gaming videos, but from what I can gather they clearly aren't on the same wavelength. Sorry Phil, keep dreaming.

My body is so ready! All aboard the hype train! Choo-choo!

One thing though. I totally understand that the US and Japan have different time zones than Europe, but the last one was timed for the US too. Can the next Nintendo Direct please be timed to match EU timezones for once? Please?

Played the demo. It was ok, but it didn't really grab me. I'll skip it.

FINALLY! I've been waiting for AVGN Adventures FOREVER!

A friend just gifted me this. She got it from Club Nintendo, but she thought I'd use it more. I do like it, but boy, I agree it is hard

Congratulations Nintendo. Nintendo Badge Arcade was your first f2p game I actually put some money into (just €1, and almost €2, but finished that with the free plays), and this might become the second one.

Finally! It's about time!

Wait, there is a Sword Art Onlin game? Shut up and take my money!

I don't own a Wii U, but I have Shovel Knight and Ultimate NES Remix on 3DS and AVGN Adventures on PC since it isn't out in Europe yet. I honestly wouldn't know how to rank them, I love all of them. I'd say Shovel Knight and AVGN Adventures tie for first, with Ultimate NES Remix coming in second.

Don't know anything about the director, but if this gets made I'd definitely go see it.

The only one I have played is Mario Power Tennis New Play Control. However, I really like that game.

Wow, if it's that cheap, I may pick it up

Happy birthday Miyamoto-san! Without you, I wouldn't be the gamer I am today. Thank you for your contributions to not just Nintendo, but the entire industry. While I don't always agree with all your decisions, your amazing work can't be ignored. You revolutionized gaming many times, and made some of the greatest games and franchises there are. Happy birthday!

As much as I love Pokémon, this reconfirms the point that Pokémon is just a cash cow now. First they pump out a bunch of f2p Pokémon games like Pokémon Shuffle and stuff, and now this. I hope this price is a placeholder.
The regular price point for GB games at €4 would've been perfect. However, I understand that the added Link Cable functionality took a little extra work, and if they raised the price to €5, or even €6, I would've accepted that. I get that Pokémon can make you a lot of money, but €10 is just ridiculous. As excited as I was for this, I think I may not buy it if it's priced that high.

This overall is the first f2p game to really grab me. It even encouraged me to clean up my overflown Home Menu to make room to display the badges.

I do have some complaints though, mainly in the glitches-department. First off, my badge-names are glitched, which as it turned out is like that because my system is set to Dutch. Really stupid oversight if you ask me, but now, instead of reading 'Mario & Friends', it reads something like 'badge_round_mario_00' or something like that.
The second is that whenever I go back to the Home Menu either when I reboot my system or I quit a game, sometimes one of the badges has randomly dissapeared. Sometimes it moved back to the item box, and other times I have to go to the Arcade and let the bunny put all my badges back.

However, I do really like the concept of this game. The crane can be frustrating, but that's just how these things work, and I'll admit that it does work. I'm probably going to spend more money on this than I want to admit.

One of my favourites is easily the fight between Reggie and Iwata, where they announced the Mii Fighters for Smash. I know it was more like a trailer, but it was still awesome. I also loved last E3's muppets, even though I know why Iwata wasn't in it in person.
It won't be the same without Iwata-san, but I'm still excited to see what they've got in store for us. We'll see!

To be fair, amiibo stock has improved. My local toy store now has all the latest amiibo in stock, and that hasn't happened in a long time. At least online here in the Netherlands, the new amiibo are still common and available for the standard price.
But these items look nice for the Nintendo fans. If I ever get this game, I look forward to using these items.

I'm glad that this is coming. I have some great indie gems on my 3DS like VVVVVV, Shovel Knight and Citizens of Earth (yeah, published by Atlus, but whatever), and I'd like to see more indie developers making it to the eShop to release more hidden gems. I do have a few objections though. First off, I hope the 3DS eShop doesn't get as crowded with easy and cheap games like the Wii U eShop has. You know, RCMADIAX stuff (nothing against the developer). I don't think this'll immediately lead to that, due to games still having to pass Nintendo's check, but still. Second, this system looks a little, manipulatable. I may be wrong, but it just looks like it's more easily manipulatable to me.

Only titles I ever played in either series are Paper Mario (N64), Super Paper Mario (Wii) and Mario & Luigi Bowser's Inside Story (DS). But I absolutely loved all of them. I'm super hyped for this!

Really? They want to rerelease the Adventures of Bayou Billy? I have that game, and it's not great. It's a combo of a bad version of Double Dragon, a bad version of Rad Racer, and a bad version of Hogan's Alley. Trust me, if you want a good NES beat-em-up, get Double Dragon.

Really? Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde? Apart from the obvious jokes about the NES game, why would anyone want to make a game linked to a name with such a bad reputation in the gaming world? Free publicity?

Even though he's amazing, I just bought over €60 of amiibo, and my 3DS will be send in for repair tomorrow, so I'll save my money

The video here doesn't work. I'll look it up later. That picture of the Chihuahua is scary though. My chihuahua is a sweetheart, I promise I'll never step on him :3

Characters that I would like include Daisy and Professor Layton among others, and recently Shovel Knight was added to that list.
But I voted for my dream character who I know won't make it in, but I can dream: Gardevoir.

@Agent721 Thank you!

and @WckdGmrUK Happy birthday to you too!

I still can't believe Nintendo and I share our birthdays. I turned 17 today
And I was all too happy to celebrate it with Nintendo, by playing the game I got, Super Mario Galaxy 2.
Happy birthday Nintendo!

I just got Shovel Knight on 3DS yesterday. I'm good for now

That's horrible. Rest in Peace. My condolences to his family and friends.

Come on, you´re so close to the Netherlands right now. All it´ll take is a trip with the ferry, or a day-long bus trip via the undersea train to France. Heck, take the airplane for all I care, but PLEASE ALSO COME TO THE NETHERLANDS SOON!!!!!

My system is so stable...I can't think of a good pun :/

My first systems were DS and Wii, and the New Super Mario Bros games were amazing. I now own all the classic NES Super Mario titles, as well as both 3DS platformers, and an endless amount of side series. It truly is an amazing game series that changed the industry, and I can't imagine my gaming life without him. I still remember how excited I was as a 11-year old during Mario's 25th anniversary, and I'm still just as exicted today. Thank you Mario!

I KNEW IT! I PREDICTED THIS YESTERDAY! IF THEY EVER MAKE ANYTHING GOOD IT'S ALWAYS COPIED!...not that I believe this would be all too good compared too the current gaming consoles, but who knows. I think only Apple fanboys will get sucked in.

Dayum, now I really need a new phone.

The only thing that can be considered proof for this is the GamePad-like described controller, and it won't be the first thing Apple copied. The iPhone 6 has the exact same outer design as a 3-4 year old HTC phone.
I personally don't like Apple. I admit our iPad is handy, but thank god we didn't have to pay for it (comes with my dads job), because, apart from Apple TV apparently, Apple is always very overpriced and limited in its functionality compared to its competition (Android, Windows, etc). I don't think this is true at all. Of course it's possible, but I don't believe it.
If it is true though, I'm going to be so dissapointed. My history with Apple isn't exactly positive, and I don't want to be required to buy Apple products for my Nintendo games.

My first consoles were DS and Wii, and since then I got a 3DS, and all the NES Mario platformers for VC. Of course my favourites are on Wii. If I get right down to it though, Super Mario Galaxy is easily my favourite. I sadly STILL haven't played SMG2, but I'm planning on getting it soon.

Funny how everyone forgot about this game. It was even featured in the original Nintendo World Championships! That's the only reason I even know it existed, and that's why I got it on an original cartridge when I saw it. It's not bad, even though I suck at it

"As a voice actor with experience on many different levels, do you prefer voice acting for video games or for TV? Do you even have a preference? If so, why do you prefer that?"

Too bad it's so expensive. I spent 7500 stars on that Game & Watch Ball reproduction, and now I'm left with 900. Guess we'll get a DSiWare or 3DS VC game then.
But I had a great time with Club Nintendo. Even though I'm really sad I'll miss out on this one, at least I still have my Giratina Origin Form bookmark, my Red Pikmin plushie, my Golden Wii Wheel, my DS Lite Value Pack (even though I lost the stylus), my ?-block with (sadly now broken) sound, and of course my Game & Watch Ball unit.
Thank you for all of that Club Nintendo

They should definitely re-release this on the eShop, even if it's just as a free gag.

Shovel Knight is still on my list of games I have to try. It looks really fun but I only have that much money, and I'm saving for other stuff as well. I just pre-ordered the NFC reader, so I'm a little short now. Even though the amiibo looks awesome, I won't even bother getting it unless I either get Shovel Knight the game first or he turns out to be in Smash (and be great in it)

I have the original Excitebike for NES on Wii VC. I do really like that game, but I probably won't pick this one up.

I know that Absolute is out of business and I know this game is generally considered to be pretty bad and I know they won't ever rerelease it, but if they do it's a day one buy for me.

I really like the figure, but I'm not getting him. I don't have the funds to fill my collection with expensive figurines. For now I'm good, I'll save my money for the R.O.B. and Mr. Game & Watch amiibo (and the adapter for 3DS of course)
