So much about this was wonderful. I got 4 new games, gave my extra codes for Shantae and Freedom Planet to the son of a co-worker and gave to charity. The whole thing made me really happy
The Treehouse has lost quite a few people this past year it seems.
I really hate these he said/she said scenarios. While I do feel bad that she lost her job, and I don't care to fully understand the circumstances why, I do tend to have less pity for people whose jobs are lost for any reason related to social media.
What an amazing handheld the GBA was. I think it was the first Nintendo gaming machine I ever purchased on my own. I've also been on a GBA game collecting spree lately. Recently bought Sigma Star Saga, Onimusha Tactics and some Repro carts.
I had a subscription for 2 years. It was always so exciting when it arrived in the mail. I got the first subscription as part of a promotion for Donkey Kong Country 2.
I had to collect several Diddy Kong head tokens on the sides of cereal boxes and send them in to quality for the subscription. I ate a lot of Cheerios but it was worth it.
I think my parents kindly renewed it for me after the first year. Oh, and the posters were great but I never removed them.
Legendary game. I played it to death on N64. I remember getting the medal on every stage except for Sector Z, which I had to get a friend to do for me.
After playing and never finishing Persona Q, I'm too terrified to give the Etrian series another go. I also stopped playing the first Etrian after several hours.
I know these games are supposed to be tough, but maybe its too much for me, and I really like dungeon crawlers. The ones on PS Vita are more appealing to me at the moment.
Getting the amiibo bundle. I originally played it on Gamecube. Close to the end of the Wii's lifespan, I bought a copy of the Wii version used, but didn't get very far. Very excited to play it again, the last battle is unforgettable.
Personally, I'd prefer the next generation over Pokemon Z. What I don't really want, despite how lovely ORAS was, is yet another game using the X/Y engine.
Chinatown in Montreal has a great import candy shop I've been going to for years but I highly doubt I'll ever see these there. They seemed to stop stocking anime/game themed candy.
I really wanted the complete package for this one as the game looks beautiful. But having missed out on the Special Edition (once again, thanks Nintendo) combined with the localization changes and price of Revelations kinda killed it for me. I'm going to pass on it for now at least.
I guess I somewhat fit this data. I was really into fighting games and competing when I was a kid. These days, I play fighters much less and enjoy RPGs and SRPGs the most.
Still have the cart so I'll pass buy I'm currently playing the original FFT (War of the Lions) for the first time. Difficulty is intense but its so engrossing.
I had a subscription to Nintendo Power back around 1995 and remember there being an article about this game in there. Always wanted to play it since then. Another classic I would love to try is For Frog the Bell Tolls on the Game Boy but I don't believe anyone has translated it.
With limited funds, I haven't felt compelled to get one yet. I don't use 3D or my amiibo much anyway. I'll really need compelling exclusive software to take the plunge.
I would like the next installment to have a different gameplay style. Maybe a 3D-styled game with a battle system similar to the Dissidia games.
I agree that "miracles" were indeed made in the creation of this game with regard to the characters, but as I mostly play Smash Bros alone, this was the least engaging single player Smash game for me (not counting the first one).
A new melee-styled adventure mode would have gone a long way. Smash Run is probably my favorite mode this gen, but once I got the Wii U version, I completely stopped playing it on 3DS.
I can barely remember any distinguishing features between all the .EXE games but I distinctly remember really enjoying 5 on the DS compared to the others.
No loss in my opinion. Not a single one of their franchises interests me in the least. I have a pretty big game collection and I believe the only one with an EA logo on it is Shadows of the Damned.
For others who want it though, I hope they give some support to Nintendo in the future.

I'll be extremely disappointed it if this doesn't get localized.

This and Persona 5 are my most anticipated games right now.
Re: Assassin's Creed Movie Trailer Leaps Out Of The Shadows And Into The Spanish Inquisition
Looks neat. I'd like to see it. Still very behind with the games, though. I'm currently working on Revelations.
Re: Poll: Did The First Pokémon: Sun and Moon Trailers and Starter Pokémon Get You Excited?
The thing I liked the most was the setting for the game.
I'll just buy one version. Probably Sun. I've done both versions in the past and never ended up touching more than one.
Re: Disney Infinity Has Been Cancelled
I really wanted a Darkwing Duck figure.
Re: Limited Run Games Would Like to Distribute Physical Copies of Phoenix Wright: Dual Destinies
I would support Dual Destinies and Fatal Frame. I've been holding out on Fatal Frame due to price and the file size.

Nice data! I hope Super Shovel Knight with 16-bit graphics is on the cards.
Re: Review: Moco Moco Friends (3DS)
Not really on my priority list but I've been interested for a while. I can also see this one going for high prices in a few years.
Re: Nintendo of America Launches eShop 'Super Spring Sale' Discounts on 40 Games

Re: Pokkén Tournament Beats Digimon to Number One in Japan and Boosts Wii U Sales
This is really nice to see. I love both franchises but Digimon has a special place in my heart.

Re: Miitomo Passed One Million Downloads in Just Three Days
I'll give it a shot when its out in NA. A part of me still wishes it didn't come to this, but whatever keeps the company going is good.
Re: Reminder: Create Your Nintendo Account for a My Nintendo and Miitomo Bonus
Thanks again for the reminder. I have been putting this off.

Re: Rain Games Announces World to the West
Did not buy Teslagrad. Came here to say that I love it when games or whatever like this are in a shared universe. Very cool.

I was also hoping localization for Detective Pikachu would be announced.

Re: Puzzle & Dragons X Hitting Japan This July In Two Versions
I have over 130 hours on the Z+Mario cart and somehow I'm still having fun. New game looks cool, will buy if it gets localized.

Re: Nintendo Gives Us A Friendly Recap On Why We Should Be Excited About Hyrule Warriors Legends
I'm only in it for the new story mode content. Adventure mode is an endless nightmare (for completion) and I will never touch it again.

No, I haven't had a VHS player in years but I'm still holding on to some old anime tapes. Mostly bootlegs.
Re: Video: The Pokémon Company Builds Anniversary Hype and Confirms Monthly Mythical Pokémon Distributions
I still have the first 3 films on VHS somewhere. I remember the first one came with an ancient Mew card.

Re: Editorial: Xenoblade Chronicles X Has Tiny Text - Time for an Update?
With my gaming set-up, the text is too small for me to read comfortably. I hope there is a way it can be resolved in the future.

Re: Nintendo of America Confirms Its Black Friday eShop Cyber Deals
This might get me to finally try Box Boy and anyone on the fence about Shantae Pirate's Curse should seriously consider it. It was totally absorbing.
Re: Poll: Nintendo's Free-to-Play Experiments - Are You Still Playing?
This model of payment makes me uncomfortable. I will never support it so I never bothered to try any of these games.

Re: Puzzle & Dragons X Confirmed for 3DS in Japan
I also hope this gets a western release. But not too soon. I'm still working on both Z and the Mario version.
