@BlatantlyHeroic No, they're giving customers what they payed for: amiibo are supposed to be used with games—that's their entire purpose (besides to look cool). If they never gave us amiibo-compatible games, they're be a waste of money to some.
@Sergio151 I'd rather have amiibo than VC games, really...
@freaksloan That's what you said last week; frankly, I don't think anyone cares about your XBox One. I mean, it's not like Nintendo is gonna read your comment, and say, "Oh, no, one of our customers also plays one of our competitor's systems! We should start doing whatever they want!"
@lanceorr No, it's like Four Swords... In Four Swords, it's mostly about getting more rupees than your friends/family; in this game, it's mostly about working together. About the only thing that's really like Four Swords is the fact that it's multiplayer, Zelda, and each character controls a different-colored Link.
I'll take a game with not-so-great graphics, but with amazing gameplay/story/music over a game with spectacular graphics, but with sucky gameplay, any day. Graphics don't make a game—gameplay does. They're called video-games, not movies.
In most cases, what Nintendo lacks in power, they make up for in gameplay; that's what's great about 'em, in my opinion.
@rushiosan Um, no... If the 3D was supported on the old 3DS, it'd have a bad framerate; the whole point in not supporting it is so that it does play well.
@grumblebuzzz Then—looks around suspiciously, as if to see if anyone else in listening to our conversation—don't do so; no one forces you to check the eShop updates every week.
@Robotron2084 Resident Evil Mercenaries (if that could be considered horror), Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir, The Starship Damrey, and... That's all I can think of.
@Gauchorino I mean the hardcore fans who act like Nintendo are prefect.
Evidence-free? You must be internet-blind, or something. Splatoon has a great multiplayer but a mediocre single-player, and it's critically-acclaimed; Devil's Third has a great (it seems) multiplayer but a mediocre single-player, and it's trashed by everyone. Hmm, that's totally fair.
@DrkBndr Yeah... Nintendo fans are confusing. When giving their impressions on a Nintendo game, they take an "Instead of focusing on what the game doesn't have, focus on what's great about it" approach; when they're giving inpressions on a non-Nintendo game, however, they're like, "Haha, it doesn't have [X], so it sucks," even though the game in question has other great merits.
@Luna_110 A big backlog shouldn't be much of a problem, 'cause it's one of those pick-up-and-play games; it's really fun, so I suggest trying it if you get the chance.
@sillygostly Why would they need to remove Miis? Nintendo are diving into the mobile market, and Miis—I assume—will be involved in some of their games.
And how is it built from the ground up for the 3DS? Spotpass/Streetpass features? For iOS devices, that could be replaced by Gamecenter or something.
@Crono1973 No, not at all. I'm saying that if you're gonna complain every time something bad happens, you should give credit when something good happens.
You people seem to forget one small fact: Nintendo—like nearly every other company out there—are in it for the money, not to please you. Boo-hoo, you're bored with your thousandth game, but there's not another game that interests you this week—get over it.
@erv The Wii U really is a good system, but it's not personally one of my favorites; I prefer the 3DS family, the SNES, and Gamecube—I honestly have no idea why I'm telling you this.

Looks fine to me, especially since it's intended to be multiplayer, anyway.

I loved LEGO Marvel, so I'll get this, too, although I haven't watched the Winter Soldier, Dark World, or Age of Ultron yet.

Re: Review: SpongeBob Squarepants: Plankton's Robotic Revenge (Wii U)
I've never played a Spongebob game that I didn't like... and that includes Truth or Square.
Are most of them horrible? Yeah. Do I enjoy them anyways? Yeah.
Re: Nintendo Has "Moved On" From Game Boy Games on the 3DS Virtual Console
@Fearful-Octopus YES. I've always wanted to play one of the older TMNT games.

@Busta_Senpai @OddworldCrash @StarDust4Ever @SneakyStyle It's the Pokémon Company, not Nintendo.
Re: Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam Will Support 18 amiibo Figures
@BlatantlyHeroic No, they're giving customers what they payed for: amiibo are supposed to be used with games—that's their entire purpose (besides to look cool). If they never gave us amiibo-compatible games, they're be a waste of money to some.

Re: Preview: Fabulous Fashion and Questionable Game Design in The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes

Re: Major 3DS Games Are Heading for Discounts in the Next Nintendo Selects Range
I've been meaning to get Island Tour and Starfox 3D, so if these come to the US too, that'd be great.
Re: Retailers In North America Merge Wii U & 3DS Library Under One Nintendo Banner
I haven't seen this in my local Walmart (we're slow at everything), and don't have a local Target. I don't see why it would mean anything, really.
I went to Walmart today, and they did change them; we're not as slow as I thought.
Re: Editorial: Nintendo is a Toy Company, and That Will Be Vital in a New Era
I'll take a game with not-so-great graphics, but with amazing gameplay/story/music over a game with spectacular graphics, but with sucky gameplay, any day. Graphics don't make a game—gameplay does. They're called video-games, not movies.

Eh, I have nothing for this competition.
Re: 3D Effect Will Be Disabled When Playing Hyrule Warriors Legends On Older 3DS Hardware
@rushiosan Um, no... If the 3D was supported on the old 3DS, it'd have a bad framerate; the whole point in not supporting it is so that it does play well.
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles and Fire Emblem Characters Join Project X Zone 2 Cast
Just Fiora? Oh well, 1 Xenoblade character is better than no Xenoblade characters, especially since Fiora's awesome anyways.

Re: Nintendo Download: 17th September (North America)
@MoonKnight7 You're walking into No Man's Land, by bringing up how everyone here complains about everything; I've done it before, and it wasn't fun.

I'll get Q.U.B.E and Mario Maker, eventually.
Re: Gunscape to Bring Cross-Platform FPS Level Creation and Sharing to the Wii U eShop
@Kaze_Memaryu It's meant to look like games such as Wolfenstein or Doom—you know, games that cane out before Minecraft was even thought of.
Re: Toon Link Will Reportedly Be Playable in Hyrule Warriors Legends
This is great news, 'cause Toon Link is my favorite Link.

Re: Pokémon Shuffle Rolls Out on iOS in North America and Europe
@sillygostly It being (currently) a 3DS exclusive doesn't mean it was built from the ground up for the 3DS.

Re: Pokémon Shuffle Rolls Out on iOS in North America and Europe
@sillygostly There are plenty of 3D games on mobile devices, with virtual d-pads/analog sticks, and they work just fine,
The 3DS version is great, but I won't be getting the iOS version; I'm at level 150, and I'd rather not do that all over again.
Re: Capcom's North American eShop Sale Has Some Tempting Discounts

Re: Capcom's North American eShop Sale Has Some Tempting Discounts
