umm im pretty sure we get all 3? would be kind of silly to give us just 1....

this is pretty cool i already have both amiibo. when are we getting peppy and slippy tho

might have to get yoshi's story i never played much of it myself tho my brother played a lot of it back in the day

What this looks like to me:
-on the go handheld
-at home u connect it with ur wii u and the additional horsepower allows it to work as a VR device (with additional unseen hardware)
-alternatively u can connect it directly to ur tv and the 'handheld' games would get converted to that aspect ratio/resolution

I really need to play thru the first one fast before this comes out. Darn my inability stick with any one game for a long period of time.

Nothing this week, might eventually pick up Mutant Mudds

Video says it's not available in my country q.q

edit: I mean the video isn't available in my country, the game obviously will be.

Kirby: Triple Deluxe was alright but not amazing and pretty forgettable.. still cautiously excited about this but I really hope it has more content than the first one as I felt that was over too soon (and I didn't really mess with the rhythm or Smash lite modes). Besides SNES > n3DS this was my favorite reveal. Oh and the fact that Star Fox looks fantastic compared to how it was first shown.

edit: ugh and those amiibo! I already have the ones from the Smash series but I'll be getting these as well and I'd been hoping for a waddle dee so yay

seems like maybe theyve just been waiting so pokémon could have the spotlight. did not expect this so soon after the pokédirect

I had blue so I planned on only getting yellow and maybe red along with it... then that pokémon themed n3DS was announced so I have all three versions. probably still only gonna play y & r

Getting All-Stars and one of the versions of DKCR.. anyone wanna give me advice on which version to get?

All-Stars and DKCR for me, have almost all the rest and I don't want Island Tour or City Folk.

Serebii has posted a photo that actually shows the mon in color. Looks neat, probably Steel/Fairy typing?

Great news if this means I can more easily get my ambassador games on that pokémon n3DS that I preordered.

"Again, this is confirmed for Japan right now, but seems like a reasonable bet for the West."
Oh you sweet, optimistic bastard

Just FAST Racing Neo and Terraria for me, probably gonna wait for them to go on sale tho (especially Terraria..)

I always thought he was maybe named after Kirby Puckett who was a great and popular baseball player around the time Kirby first came out

Goldeneye 007 : Perfect Dark :: WCW/nWo Revenge : WWF Wrestlemania 2000

I must be going crazy but I could swear my Target had standalone greens behind a case when I went to get my pink & blue ones. I didn't ask about it since I had the bundle preordered at Gamestop.

My original reaction when the Wii U was unveiled was something like "Wow that's a great idea and I bet that'd be a lot of fun, but who's gonna want to keep that giant gamepad in their living room?"
Not to mention that in order to sell it at $300 (really $350), and still make a profit, the gamepad wound up being both underpowered and lacking in battery life which meant keeping it tethered for play sessions longer than an hour. Even with this horrendously weak gamepad, the system could only support one at a time and if yours broke you were mostly SOL.

I've bought and enjoyed games in the DQM series, but nobody I know plays it so it kinda loses its appeal, meanwhile a lot of people are playing Pokémon and it's at the point where even if it gets localized I won't be getting it.

I feel like the games were the worst part of how they presented the appletv but i still want one as every other function looks nice and easy to use and hopefully the gaming functions are better than advertised. im guessing they didnt spend a lot of time on that aspect of it because of time considerations plus its not really the focus of the device and theyre trying to reach a big audience.

gonna try for all of them since i missed out on all but dr. mario from target. hopefully can get all but especially that olimar..

I love Apple and an Apple/Nintendo partnership would be a dream but I just dont think its very likely, both companies are very similar in a lot of ways (which is what draws me to them). They both like making money on their hardware and they both like to have a lot more control over their 'ecosystem' than is maybe healthy albeit for different reasons.

@c1pher_c0mplet oh u definitely wanted the ORAS Diancie because it came with the Mega Stone. Hopefully they make all the MS available in the next gen games since we shouldn't be able to trade them up.

Well on about my 5th reset I got a Jolly with 31s in HP, Atk, Def and Speed and a 23-24 in Sp. Def... the Sp. Atk sucks but ah well

there wont be anything like 3 perfect IVs on this one, right? i already reset for a decent Rayquaza on top of that tower, I dont really wanna reset again (though I might for a favorable nature)

I'd love to have something in the Kirby "Curse" series for iOS. I need better games to play at work and I don't wanna bring another device besides my iPhone.

So I played this game back around the time it first came out on iOS (so there was only Ogden's story) and it was pretty good albeit short (hoping the extra chapters are longer). Anyways, I got this for Wii U (which gave me a free code for the 3DS version, score!)... however early impressions are not good. I just tried the Wii U version and it was extremely laggy/sound was messed up. The 3DS version seems way better so far, my one gripe is the controls, I guess they really wanted the Y button to have a use, so they made that the run button while A is for talking/etc... which makes it really awkward and uncomfortable. Fix the Wii U version and give me the option to set up my controls where B does both running and canceling and I'll be happy.

Work til 11 tonight, gonna try waking up at 7:45 then heading to GS immediately... hopefully no ridiculous lines will have formed by then. The Dark Pit line at Best Buy didn't get many ppl until close to the time they opened so I don't think it'll be a problem for me. And there's way more GS near me than BB so I guess that should help.

WHY IS SHE HOLDING A STAFF WITH ONE OF THEIR HEADS ATOP IT

@bitleman @DreamOn the 2DS is a single screen

@Treverend PC has come to mean anything running Windows, even Apple likes to push the distinction, remember the 'I'm a Mac, I'm a PC' ads?

Wii U Gamepad 2

It should actually be something of a cross between a 2DS and Wii U Gamepad, with user-expandable storage and access to all eShops, making it their ultimate portable. Also of course functions as a Gamepad, which frees Nintendo to sell a controller-free Wii U system.

just ordered a few amiibo from target's website. got a mega man, rosalina and jigglypuff, which are impossible to find at regular price on amazon (free shipping since the order is above $25 too)

i almost want to get it because it looks nice but $20 and i have to use AAs? meh

ive been wanting the smaller sized n3DS but especially if the NA version retains the super famicom look

this looks pretty good but if there's no multiplayer i doubt ill bother. i just dont have nearly as much fun in single player mc.

seems like the kind of thing nintendo would leave alone unless they try to make money from it. see also: mother 4, super smash land and probably a million others

@TheRealThanos thanks! ill have to check this out later as i must be on my way to work

First I've heard of this, where's the best place to find more info about it?

i got this on wii vc as a cn reward so it was just $2 to upgrade to the wii u version. not sure how i feel so far tho, theres a lot of lag to the point where i have to play on the Gamepad and the TV might as well be turned off or something. i have the same issue with Mario 64 but it's probably actually worse on Paper Mario since "crits" and blocking are based on timing

I really dont see the appeal in this since the emulation is crap, youre better off going with an SP or DS Lite for playing physical games or something like the dingoo if you want to emulate. "¯(ツ)/¯"

@ekreig omg yes, mutant mudds is brilliant. this looks interesting and i'll probably pick it up if it scores an 8+, $10 is kinda steep but if the gimmick leads to good enough gameplay it'll be worth it.

"Our question here is simple - if it's Capcom, Ubisoft or EA releasing outfits or entirely cosmetic extras in one of their major releases, is the reaction different to how we perceive Nintendo's offering? We regularly see these aforementioned companies slammed for cheap extras like this, yet Nintendo's jumping right in with the same basic concept."

As a rule I avoid micro transactions, however this is the type I'm most comfortable with, essentially the TF2 way of doing it where the game is the same experience for everyone, but you can optionally purchase something that doesn't actually give any kind of advantage. It's the "wait 1 hour or pay real $$$" stuff and the pay-to-win model that I can't stand.

@mike_intv I dont think you necessarily need both ecosystems. most of the money is still made on iOS

@allav866 basically its a sign that the market likes the move

@Kirk it makes sense if u actually own all the systems but it will likely be used by people to give their friends 'free' copies of the game

@JellySplat thanks for the offer... turns out these aren't even event pokes, even though the unova ones were... they come in regular pokéballs and your own OT... so yeah I'm probably just gonna breed and release or something lol

@JellySplat oh i know. im going to breed them either way but i also keep my event pokes since they come in those Cherish balls and id prefer they be female
