Re: Nintendo Download: 27th July (North America)

waiting to find out how long miitopia is, don't want to spend $40 on a 15-hour game (or even a 30-hour rpg)

not sure if the gunvolt burst DLC is making its way over to the US this week or not, but definitely getting it when it does

Link to the Past, Super Metroid, Mega Man X (the first one, at least), Yoshi's Island, Super Mario World all terrific games, Mario Kart / F-Zero haven't aged nearly as well but still fun. Mario RPG, Earthbound, Super Castlevania IV all solid. Then you've got FF III / VI, the GOAT. When will Nintendo just put this on the New 3DS VC so I can die in peace?

Re: Reggie Fils-Aimé Defends Nintendo's Indie Support and AM2R Policy

What I would have preferred here would be Nintendo taking this guy aside and helping transition that into its own game and own universe instead of just shutting it down outright. I get that takes resources, but I think it would do a better job of painting Nintendo as a friendlier company, something they've strived for in the past.

Like it or not though (and I know none of us do), all Nintendo needs to see is one person, one single person saying "well I played AM2R, what's the point in paying $40 for Samus Returns?" - that costs them money. End of story.

Re: Poll: What Did You Think of Nintendo at E3 2017?

it was good to very good not quite reaching great. Hoping "Switch is great for 3rd parties" doesn't turn into "The DS is the ultimate control scheme for FPS" (of which there are still like... none). We gotta at least get Project Mirai onto the switch somehow right? Would have liked VC info, nobody wants to lug around three consoles and portables worth of games when they can do it with one.

The good: the Kirbs, Unlike some games where I get tired of how formulaic they are, this never happens with Kirby. Metroid II remake (people whining about Metroid better buy this so we can get an actual honest to god new 2D metroid down the line) is a purchase. Mario Odyssey looked spectacular. I'm almost ready to buy a Switch for it, just need a little more push (and having played the ARMS testpunch, good god it's not that).

Waiting for the 3DS version of Gunvolt Burst, downloaded the Miitopia and Ever Oasis demos.

Let's talk about my Miitopia demo experience. Here I am, a Captain Falcon Mii, and heaven help us all when Luigi appears to steal the faces of all these poor NPC villagers that come from other people and not your own set of miis. Captain Falcon didn't expect to be helping Daniel Craig, Peter Griffin, Woodrow Wilson and Shaq get their faces back, and he certainly didn't expect to be joined on his journey by Beyonce wielding a sword.

I haven't laughed this hard at a video game since that stupid tree-cutting cats game in Rhythm Heaven

Re: Poll: What Did You Think of Nintendo's Big Switch and 3DS Reveals at E3 on Day One?

Terrific first party, discouraging third parties (where's the indies reel?), good overall. Probably about even with Sony's presentation on the whole, but I thought, for probably the first time in a long while, everybody's E3 was good.

Mario Odyssey has me hyped like no game in years. The Kirbs. You can never go wrong with the Kirbs. Good winding-down games for the 3DS.

Re: Talking Point: Five Key Areas Nintendo Must Get Right at E3 2017

show lots of games, switch and 3DS, maybe a 3:1 ratio
don't waste our time with idle chit-chat - only one game should get more than five minutes, and it's mario odyssey
show lots of games, even more games, new games, old games on VC, more and more games

last year's Sony rapid-fire trailer after trailer, kind of like what MS did after their XBox one X ln X^e dx by showing a bunch of games, launch exclusive or not, whatever. I don't want to see people talking I want to see game trailers and lots of them.

While I always want to see more 3DS games for my never-ending backlog, this E3 for me is all about Mario. Is this game going to make me go get a switch before the holidays or are we looking at a game that has me stick with the full-time portable for FE Warriors and keep it for the Radiant Historias of the world for late 2017 and beyond?

I'm definitely more excited to learn about Mario Odyssey than I ever was Breath of the Wild, and that's not to take anything away from BoTW.
