Like many others I truly love Link's Awakening, having played it three times in my life so far. I'm also really happy that another "traditional" Zelda is being made, even if its a remake (no disrespect to BotW). Really hope the Oracle games get the same treatment in the future.
I'm almost finished Axiom Verge, and honestly I think a perfect score is a bit much. Most of my playthrough so far has been me desperately searching for where to go next. I don't find the backtracking all that fun either like other games in the genre.
Except for the occasional amiibo that I really like, I'm finished buying them. This is mostly because of the recent return to store exclusives. Can't be bothered anymore.
I'm hesitant to buy it since so many digital games I have bought recently have ended up getting physical releases. I really wouldn't be surprised if that ends up happening for this one as well.
The Majora's Mask 3D Limited edition, FIre Emblem Fates Special edition, several amiibo, and now this. Several things I would have been happy to buy at launch but couldn't. I really am dreading the launch of Switch.
It was cool to see all of the additions, but I stopped playing months ago after logging 200 hours on Wii U. I bought the 3DS version mostly for Linkle but have not touched it yet. The amount to do and difficulty in the different maps became too overwhelming with so many other games to play.
Although I'm more partial to the SNES than the NES, I am excited for it, but I don't expect to get one at launch since pre-orders never happened that I was aware of.
I wish them all the success with this franchise in western markets but I wont support it beyond the first game. The seemingly random nature of befriending those things was beyond tedious.
As much as I love metroid, f zero would be my top choice. GX was my life back when it came out, I put countless hours into overcoming its insane challenges.
Neat video. I think I look forward to MJRs videos more so than anyone else on Youtube. I also used to call the automated Nintendo Hotline when I was young.
I bought the last two releases from Nordic games on Wii U, and I wish I could support this, but I'm passing on this one. This is a game I quite literally cannot beat. Unless the game is modified to make the boss fight with Tiamat easier I won't touch this franchise again.
Its too bad I can't pass that part as I really wanted to see the rest of the game.
I bough this when it was released but have not started it yet. Can't say i'm looking forward to it now. I'm also somewhat embarrassed that I own this but have not yet bought Fire Emblem Fates.
With recent and upcoming games from Sega like Vakyria Chronicles, 7th Dragon, and Yakuza 0, I get the sense they are serious about their commitment to quality. I've never wanted so many of their releases at one time before.
I can only hope the new Sonic turns out well. Hopefully revealing it to a large audience at SDCC means they are confident about it.

The Majora's Mask 3D Limited edition, FIre Emblem Fates Special edition, several amiibo, and now this. Several things I would have been happy to buy at launch but couldn't. I really am dreading the launch of Switch.
Re: Short Hyrule Warriors Video Signals the End of a DLC Era
It was cool to see all of the additions, but I stopped playing months ago after logging 200 hours on Wii U. I bought the 3DS version mostly for Linkle but have not touched it yet. The amount to do and difficulty in the different maps became too overwhelming with so many other games to play.

Although I'm more partial to the SNES than the NES, I am excited for it, but I don't expect to get one at launch since pre-orders never happened that I was aware of.

Re: Review: Yo-kai Watch 2: Bony Spirits & Fleshy Souls (3DS)
I wish them all the success with this franchise in western markets but I wont support it beyond the first game. The seemingly random nature of befriending those things was beyond tedious.

Surely a bit of a letdown but at least that Zelda picross game was fun.

Re: Feature: Five Franchises That Deserve A Fresh Chance on the Nintendo NX

Re: Random: Nintendo Acknowledges Virtual Boy After Decades of Passive Denial
A friend of mine got it at launch when we were kids. He had Teleroboxer and Mario's Tennis. I would like to pick one up one day to try our Wario Land.

I put off buying both of these games and for once it paid off. I already have it, but I would love a physical version of Freedom Planet.
Re: ​Darksiders is Coming to Wii U
I bought the last two releases from Nordic games on Wii U, and I wish I could support this, but I'm passing on this one. This is a game I quite literally cannot beat. Unless the game is modified to make the boss fight with Tiamat easier I won't touch this franchise again.
Its too bad I can't pass that part as I really wanted to see the rest of the game.
Re: Review: Langrisser Re:Incarnation Tensei (3DS)

Re: Listing Points to Darksiders Heading to Wii U
Here's a walkthrough for anyone new to Darksiders:
Have fun and play the game for about 3 hours. Get to the boss, Tiamat. Lose over 50 times. Break your controller. Stop playing the game.

Loved this game when I rented it as a kid. I've been wanting to buy a copy of it this whole time but never got around to it.
Re: Poll: As The amiibo Collection Hits 100, What's The Current State of Play?

Re: Aksys is Bringing Chase: Cold Case Investigations - Distant Memories to the 3DS This Year
This is excellent news. I'm really happy. Hotel Dusk was great and I've been wanting to import Last Window from Europe for quite some time now.
Re: New Sonic the Hedgehog Game is Coming in 2017
With recent and upcoming games from Sega like Vakyria Chronicles, 7th Dragon, and Yakuza 0, I get the sense they are serious about their commitment to quality. I've never wanted so many of their releases at one time before.
