I have mixed feelings about the scores. For example, Nintendo Life gave Naruto: Powerful Shippuden a 6/10, but I believe it deserved at least a 7/10. Sometimes I get a game based off of a review, but I just say, "Forget the review, I'm getting it anyways!" pretty often.
@andreoni79 We do understand that the "older" gamers want new experiences; we do too. But there are 2 remakes (or in Xenoblade 3D's case, port) coming up on Nintendo consoles, but many more new games: Xenoblade X, Zelda U, Star Fox U, S.T.E.A.M, Splatoon, Monster Hunter 4, to name some.
@GodOfPie Sorry, but I didn't clarify what I meant. I don't mean that I have problem with the length of the loading times, I mean that I have a problem with the amount of them. There's a lot of tiny areas, with loading times connecting each of them; it annoys me.
@dsanpe 'Tis a shame.... I got really pumped for this game a couple years ago, when I saw the screens. Today, it'd still be one of the best-looking games on the 3DS.
When I saw the headline, and quickly rushed over to the e-shop; 'twas not there. I headed back over here—to see if I read it correctly—and saw what the problem was, quite clearly: "...on the 3DS e-shop in Europe."
@Kaze_Memaryu I didn't know that it was available for purchase, but that actually hurts your case, not helps it; if you have the option to buy the full soundtrack, why the heck are you complaining? You're just nit-picking!
Besides, the 80-track soundtrack is $34; what makes you think they'd give you a $34 bonus for free?
@Kaze_Memaryu But they can't buy it, so a free 12-track soundtrack is the next best thing. The selection is free, so it is, in a way, worthless no matter what. But, at the same time, it's not worthless, because it's their only option. Well, of course the selection will be "worthless" to those who care nothing for it; that's pretty obvious.
@Kaze_Memaryu You're just being petty. 12 songs out of 80 for free isn't teasing, it's being nice. There's absolutely no reason to complain about free.

Yes! Yes! Yes!
Re: Review: Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate (3DS)
I just can't get into this series. :-/
Glad others enjoy it, though!
Re: IronFall: Invasion Single and Multiplayer Modes to be Separate Purchases, With Free Trial Content Available
PEGI 12? Again, that's E Plus for ESRB, right?
Re: Video: Xenoblade Chronicles 3D Visuals Stand Up Rather Well in a Wii Comparison
@thebigN The New 3DS isn't more powerful than the Wii...
Re: Super Smash Bros. 3DS amiibo Update Drops Tomorrow
@BensonUii The 3DS is my favorite system of all time.
Re: IronFall: Invasion, Nintendo Anime Channel and Kirby Releases Coming This Week in Europe
Will Ironfall be M for Mature in North America? If so, I won't be able to get it...
Re: Super Smash Bros. 3DS amiibo Update Drops Tomorrow
@BensonUii "...I'm not affected by this as the N3DS will be my first 3DS."
I truly feel bad for you.

@ZeSir Because it's totally their fault that the site is having traffic jams.

I'm pretty sure it was never there.

Great!
Re: Nintendo Lists Formally Tested Micro SDHC Cards for the New Nintendo 3DS
32GB was my decision, anyways.
But it's good to know your limits!
Re: Developers Outline Their Ideas for Nintendo's Next Generation Handheld
@DarkNinja9 Netflix is already on the 3DS.
Also, the 3DS has many must-haves.
Re: Developers Outline Their Ideas for Nintendo's Next Generation Handheld
@AshFoxX Eh, I wouldn't want a big indention on my system. :/
@Avahne You mean... Captain America's shield?
@Goginho Sorry... When you said "normal dual analog sticks," I thought you were saying that the 3DS circle pads weren't good enough.
Re: Developers Outline Their Ideas for Nintendo's Next Generation Handheld
@Goginho That'd be great, but... how would real analog sticks work on a clamshell design?
@schizor I wouldn't want the next handheld to only have one screen; two screens is great for RPGs and stuff.

Re: Review: The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D (3DS)
As someone who has never experienced the original Majora's Mask, I'm super hyped!
Re: Weirdness: Animators Produce Bizarre Recreation of Pokemon Season One Opening
I've never truly watched Pokémon, but this was a really cool video (and I love the first Pokémon theme song, of course).
Re: Video: Capcom Explains Why Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate On New Nintendo 3DS Is The Definitive Experience
@JaxonH I take it that that comment was pointed at me; read my last comment. ^^^
Also, I guess you could say I'm bad at it (the demos): I had no strategy; I just kept poking the monsters 'til they died!

Re: Video: Capcom Explains Why Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate On New Nintendo 3DS Is The Definitive Experience
I'm getting the New 3DS, but not Monster Hunter, 'cause I just can't get into it. The loading times are too annoying.
Re: Sakurai Considered Having All Fighters Unlocked In Super Smash Bros. For Wii U
@MetalK9 That would be amazing.
Re: The Stability of 3DS System Update 9.5.0-22 May Rock Your World
@helbertpina My 3DS has crashed two or three times, recently. D:
It also crashed once—years ago—but I wasn't very worried, 'cause I was bored with it at the time (I'm glad it came back on!)

In other words, "BUY IT!"

@HopeNForever Yeah, it's pretty weird.
Re: Weirdness: Super Bowl XLIX Analysis of 'Mega-Beast Mode' Recreates Marshawn Lynch as Mega Man
@luke88 If the teams tie, the game goes into overtime, so a draw wouldn't be possible.
Re: Review: Guitar Hero Metallica (Wii)
@CowLaunch Nice one.
As a huge fan of Metallica, and someone who enjoys Guitar Hero games, this is awesome for me! >:3
Re: Mega Man Legends 3

Re: Xenoblade Chronicles 3D First Print to Come With Special Soundtrack CD in Japan
@Kaze_Memaryu Sure, but that doesn't explain why you were complaining about Monolith Soft's decision to add a free bonus?

Re: Xenoblade Chronicles 3D First Print to Come With Special Soundtrack CD in Japan
@Kaze_Memaryu It's 12 songs... for free. I can't believe that some gamers are so spoiled, that they no longer think 12 free songs is generous...
