I'd love to go and would have no problem paying that ticket price but airfare from Toronto to LA is a different story altogether...

Ain't too shabby.

The Monster Hunter series is pretty intimidating to just jump into, I was hoping for a release of Stories because it just looks so much more fun and accessible, and would have possibly opened the door on the rest of the series for me.

Excellent news! I kickstarted and was really looking forward to the Wii U release. I hope the Switch version isn't too far off from the rest of the releases, even though I'm sure I'll still be heavy into Zelda by April but I'll probably change to the PS4 copy if it takes too long.

Ugh, mobile games.
Now an Animal Crossing for Switch, on the other hand, would have me losing my mind.

@G-Boy Fair enough. I definitely agree there should be dubs in more languages, I'm surprised there isn't a Swedish dub too.

I was more speaking about the people (who must be anime purists or something) that are boycotting the game because of the fact they can't choose the Japanese audio with English subtitles. Again, I'm disappointed too. I would've liked to play it with that option but it's honestly just not that big of a deal.

Look, I wanted the option to play with the Japanese audio too but some of you guys are taking this a bit too seriously. If listening to your own native language is that hard for you to bear (as in, that you won't play the game) I would question why you don't, or aren't already learning Japanese than instead of boycotting this masterpiece.

Hell, I'll sign the petition but I'm still going to play the game with or without the option and I'm not going to whine about it and let it stop me from enjoying this beautiful game.

Definitely picking this up, the faces they make are worth it alone!

LOL

Yeah... this whole thing makes me sick too, but please don't hate on feminists for this, any feminist would be well aware that crying isn't a sign of weakness at all; more just the sign of being, you know, a human with a diverse range of emotions.

I think even without context it's pretty clear that Zelda has gone through a lot by that scene and is properly displaying her emotions, not just crying to Link because she's a 'helpless, little girl.'

This is good news!

Not a big deal, but they seemed to have handled it in a pretty shady fashion. Good ol' Nintendo!

I'm remaining cautiously optimistic about this, I have (some) faith left that they will deliver on these features we all want. I mean, he's said they're listening to the fans a lot more this time, so we'll see...

I will be holding on to my Wii U though, so if purchases don't transfer over at all I'll still be able to play them on there.

Anyone heard about Zelda: Master Edition pre-orders in Canada? EB is already out, but I've seen nothing on Amazon or Best Buy yet.

I've played the crap out of this game so it's not a console seller for me, but whenever I do decide to get the Switch I'll buy it again. Portable Skyrim is definitely something I want in my life.

Aside from Zelda, this was the most exciting game of the night IMO. Can't wait to see more of it!

Great game if you like old-school, turn-based RPGs, though it's definitely not for everyone. It's a very dark and depressing game in terms of storyline, setting, soundtrack, etc. but if you're like me and don't get upset by that it really is a gem of a game, incredibly emotional, powerful and reminds me a lot of Chrono Trigger (the greatest game of all time!)

Presentation was lacking tbh, and $399CDN is waaayyyy too much considering Zelda is the only launch title. Those two party games need to be bundled with the console but I got the impression they're going to be sold separately, so RIP those two games (I doubt anybody's going to buy them on their own at full price - whether that's $49 OR $79.)

Assuming I can stay up late enough, I'm hoping we get a release date for Zelda (hopefully at launch) and for sufficient stock/pre-orders - I'm not the spry, energetic sixteen-year-old I was when the Wii came out, I can't really camp out in the cold overnight these days to get a console.

This looks great! I didn't think much of what I saw a while back but I'm definitely interested now. Although, I'll (hopefully) still be too busy playing Zelda to buy it when it comes out.

Oh man, I'm excited for this! I may be in the minority here, but I love that there are still people making old-school games like this. A lot of people seem to think that graphics/gameplay like this are outdated but IMO games like this look/play better than at least half of the games from the past 15 years.

Ah dang! I was so sure this system would be in the game when I saw how many Pokemon had overworld models in the demo, alas when the game came out the feature was nowhere to be seen. At least I was partially right, it does look like the feature was intended to be there.

Hoping the switch version has it, as useless as it is it's probably my favourite "mechanic" from any Pokemon game ever (part of the reason HGSS are still my favs.)

I'm sure I'll be happy with whatever they choose to show, unless it's just the same area as the E3 demo... but really hoping for a release date (and that date being in March.)

Ugh, the fact that they reinforced the Zelda rumour has me way too worried, I don't want it to be true. I've taken every delay fairly well so far, and have remained calm and patient but if they're going to delay it until summer I think I'm going to lose my cool.

Seriously Nintendo, stop giving dates if you can't meet them. Just shut your damn mouths until the game is 100% done and then give the release date. This is beyond ridiculous.

Bleh, mobile gaming.

This is awesome! I remember seeing screens from either this or another planned DKR sequel in Nintendo Power when I was a kid and I was so excited but it never came out. It sounds like it would've been an incredible game too based on some of those game modes he's describing.

Jeez, not sure why there's so much negativity here. This seems like a good idea to me, obviously the games haven't done well enough recently to warrant another one but a good, well-written animated movie might boost interest in it again enough to justify a new game.
Either way though, I've always liked Klonoa games and I think an anime is potentially a great place for the series to go next (provided it's done right.)

I'll be picking one up in the first year for sure, but I'll wait to see if there's any graphical/gameplay differences between Zelda versions before I decide if I'm buying at launch (assuming Zelda is a launch title.)

Wild World! Finally! Unfortunately, I'm flat broke so it'll have to wait.

I'll be getting the 8-bit Link (to go with 8-bit Mario) and OoT Link because I can't resist, but I really have to stop after that...

Honestly, why do they only do little things with their best ideas? This should be a full-fledged series. This and Origins are so much better than any of the other series/movies, and appeal to a much broader audience as well.

This looks like my kind of game, the beginning REALLY gives me a Survival Kids for the GBC kind-of-feel. Which is one of the best survival RPGs ever made IMO, especially for it's time. I'll definitely keep an eye on this one as it seems right up my alley.

Yeah, the weeds thing is great but I think there needs to be a better way to get villagers to move in/back to your village. THAT would get me playing again, I spent all this time getting my village just the way I want it, then I stop playing for a few weeks and all my favourite villagers left. THAT is what killed the game for me (and this was my second time restarting my village after this has happened before.)

Oh jeez, there's something in my eye.

All I want is Pokemon GSC on the eshop but I'm still not getting my hopes up too high. It'll likely be a whole Direct focused on Federation Force.

Dang, I hope there's some Rocket tee's left when they post online. London's a bit far from Canada

Hm, looks like it's going back to the front-view battle system... I sure hope it has the side-view option like MV does.

Hm, somehow missed this one. Definitely going to get it when it comes to Wii U or PS4 though!

@IceClimbers I'm not sure what you're talking about... it's a widely known fact that the Pokemon Ranger games didn't sell a single copy. Not one. Ever.

I knew Nintendo had pretty much confirmed they weren't going to even try for the rest of the year, but I didn't expect it to be this bad. Where are the VC games people are actually asking for? Nobody wants the Pokemon Ranger games, come on.

I really hope it's something like that first one, just a little more comfortable-looking. I guess I'm in the minority here but I really think the NX just needs to be a Wii U with a portable gamepad (obviously with updated hardware, etc.) I don't see the point in having two little detachable controllers...

Hm, not what I was expecting. I was hoping for a more authentic Pokemon story, something about a trainer competing to be the very best, you know. I think this will probably be a better fit for Hollywood though, they seem to have a hard time adapting anime and their actual storylines.

@Shugo I see a lot more people saying it works than people saying it doesn't, though. It's worked for me and my friends so far, so maybe it doesn't make it an 100% chance that they will evolve into that form, maybe it just raises the chances. Seeing as there's no confirmation either way, you're just as wrong in saying it's a hoax as the people claiming it's guaranteed to work.

It depends for me, if it's really well made and I like the game world I don't mind sinking countless hours into sidequests and exploring but a lot of open world games are just too overwhelming with really no incentive to go further than the main story.
I'm pretty confident Nintendo is going to nail it with this one though, I'm already in love with the game world and we've only seen a fraction of it.

Damn... I have to get this.

@Jeronan I'm telling you that is clearly an article from a satirical news site.

"I don’t think he had any idea where he was at or that he was being stabbed."

I think getting stabbed is something you're going to notice. And if that wasn't a dead give-away, just look at some of the articles on the side: "ISIS taking responsibility for Pokemon Go server issues," or "Photos of dragon shot dead in house are going viral."

I agree that a lot of parents give their kids smartphones at unnecessarily young ages but I think most of them won't instantly throw caution to the wind with this one game. Parents will still look after their kids. The way you're talking and with the fake articles you're so eager to believe, it seems like you think kids are going to start dying like flies like this game is some sort of international epidemic.

@Jeronan Yeah, that looks like a really reputable source...... >_>

WOW! What a way to wake up! First, the new Pokemon leak, the Bioshock: Collection leak, and now this!

Like with most recent generations; I like some, I don't like some. The electric/bug types will definitely be on my team, and Tapukoko looks interesting.

It's really quite sad how happy this makes me.
