More impressive than others effort so far, good job for this guy. That said, I preferred the direction they took with the Wii U Zelda than going realistic.
3DS seems to keep producing million sellers over and over. After Yokai Watch, then followed by Animal Crossing:HHD in next week or two, and after that Dragon Quest VIII will also follow. Then we have Monster Hunter X, which is another million seller for certain. Next year, there is Yokai Watch 3 and possibly a new Pokemon game too. Was hoping to see FE selling a little better though.
Wii U keeps the momentum going with Splatoon, Super Mario Maker is near, so we can expect another boost soon. Next week will be all about Metal Gear Solid V though, so Sony will have a good week.
I'm delighted to hear Ace Attorney 6 is coming, but.... The Great Ace Attorney? Come on Capcom... Well, I know it might be weird that Phoenix Wright suddenly have Japanese ancentor since the localized setting is in US, but still...
The review sounds exactly like my experience with Burst (currently playing it), so I suppose if I like Burst then I would like this game too. I'll see until I finish Burst before I decide to buy this or not, enjoying it so far though. It can be a mindless button mashing, but we could also decide to use various combo if we want. Can be repetitive, though it's the nature of most beat-em-up I guess.
Anyway, if you feel disturbed with the amount of skin revealed, you could change the swimsuit to something less revealing.
Well, rumour is just that, rumour. It might be true, it might be that insider own personal opinion, or it might be that insider just heard it from another insider, or even, it might be just a made up. Thing is, we'll probably just know the truth years later, when the head of Nintendo or XSEED retired and decide to took an interview. Until then... it's business as usual.
@Artwark 1 million is a good number, besides, FE is SRPG, it's niche and to be fair, it past games didn't sell that much either. As long as FE games can sell at least 1 million copies worldwide (should be easy I think), I think it's safe to think the continuation of the franchise is secured. It also always have a great critical reception, so it's a game Nintendo want in their portfolio for each generation.
Galaxy did not continue, but Nintendo is placing that in main 3D Mario platformer category, so the 3D World is considered to be the successor of the Galaxy. Might not be the 3D Mario people want, but it still is a representative of 3D Mario game.
Other M, I don't know, I just think Nintendo might not know what to do with it after the poor reception and the budget is possibly too high. F-zero is probably also a case of Nintendo didn't know what to do with it anymore, especially as MK8 introduces anti-gravity and 200 cc mode. While Nintendo don't have a representative in FPS category, MK8 already represent racing category for Nintendo.
I think FE Fates is fine the way it's selling right now, however, a new home console FE is a different matter entirely, it could be going to be a handheld only game from now on. Obviously I was hoping it to sell better, but it still sells as good as previous entries, and there's also digital and DLC number that only Nintendo knows.
Anyway, just my 2 cents. I think we can start to worry if Fates flopped in the west, for now we can rest easy and anticipate to enjoy Fates in 2016.
Good week for Nintendo. Super Robot Wars seems interesting, too bad it might never localized. Good Splatoon number, Wii U is still doing pretty good. Super Mario Maker should give Wii U another boost soon.
@Artwark it still selling and eventually would cross half-million mark, there is also the special edition to add. Also digital version is not tracked here, and we don't know how well the DLC sold.
I voted for Shantae. That said, if this is true, Shovel Knight would be the younger character to join Smash Bros roster? Pretty awesome if you ask me (I haven't got the game yet btw, so I don't know why this game is so popular).
$80 to be an Amiibo clone seems a bit too steep, isn't it? I mean, you could get 5 Amiibo figures by that price, and if the cheaper Amiibo card is actually a thing (I'm not sure if I could count the HHD card), this price doesn't make any sense at all. Hard to find Amiibo is a good argument, so hopefully Nintendo could resolve this whole situation.
Whatever it is, I don't think giving $80 to someone else while that money should go to Nintendo is ethical. Same argument for flash card, it's pricy, you could easily buy 3 retail games for the same money (then you can sell old game if you want to get a new game), yet some people choose to buy flash card to get hundred of games they'll never play for free.
@MasterWario I would say Dual Destinies first, the Trilogy, while have an updated graphics, it still feels dated. The story is not directly connected, so you can play the DD first without problem. That said, the Trilogy is still a must have, considering it's a 3-in-1 game, the amount of content is enormous. Have both if you can, you'll regret nothing.
I have all of the 3DS one except Resident Evil: Mercenaries 3D. Is that recommended? I have Revelation already from their last discount and I haven't played it yet.
As for everyone else, Ace Attorney and Monster Hunter is definitely worth your purchase. Take it guys if you haven't!
Woah, that's crazy. Glad that it was resolved before happening, as it will be quite bizzare, the amount of lives that could be lost and to lesser extent, the Pokemon company will take a massive hit too.
To be a little realistic, hoverboard is well... not a thing yet, more of a gimmick. The Lexus one uses superconductor and magnetic track, in short, using it on free moving vehicle is not possible. That said, building an F-zero toy is entirely possible, it's like Tamiya that follow the tracks but levitating. Yep, that'll be awesome.
Well, probably they see Wii Fit U didn't sell as much as they hoped, so they changed priorities. I don't think it's a blue ocean anyway, but sleep tracking is a good thing so I hope Nintendo could bring that out and see how they works in the market.
Haha... This guy is funny. Yep, what's wrong with a little boobs? The first game has been on my wishlist for a while now, hoping for a discount with this new one release, and then I might get both.
Anyway, I hope it'll be a success. Level 5 recent stands with mobile is still pissing me off (that Fantasy Life not-so sequel thing), so they could re-evaluate their priority if they see 3DS games can be a huge success. I love their games and I'm thinking to get LBX too.
ROFL! I can see someone make a joke for that, umm, inappropriate look while not holding a boomerang, but to see a tabloid run a story like this is too funny.
Yeah, I wanted Direct to continue. I'm not sure if we'll ever see another Japanese figure like Iwata-san to lead the Direct, but I'll be happy to see Bill Trinen and Reggie continue to run it, with some Treehouse member making appearance.
I guess people tends to forget that when you buy a hardware, then you own only the hardware, but not the software. The software is owned by Nintendo and you only have the license to use it. Which obviously, any unintended use of the software is illegal. That's just speaking in EULA point of view, I'm not sure if it's law binding or not, and maybe depends to your region.
I'm all for region free system, I wanted GBA and SNES in Virtual Console, but I'm not interested if I had to use hack to satisfy this desire of mine. The best I can do is to make voice, try to reach Nintendo, and if many peoples make enough voices, maybe Nintendo would listen. Operation Rainfall is a proof that Nintendo would listen if fans make enough voice.
@kobashi100 I'm from Asia, well, Nintendo isn't even operate in my country, but I play US system. I'm not arguing over region locking, I prefer one without, after all I could try some obscure game that'll never see the light in the west. But I can understand Nintendo reasoning, part of which you just mentioned, Europe wait a bit too long for some Atlus releases, but if everyone just import from US, wouldn't that hurt European business? Waiting sucks, but it's a part of protecting each region business, you wouldn't want the company in your region go out of business.
Also for my stance of hacking, I'm against it. Sure it might be for a valid reason (bypass region lock in this case), but that was just the beginning. Once the hack is open, someone out there will find a way to play pirated games. Once that happen, and more accessible method is available, it's us gamer that'll lose. Hell, I have even had a hard time finding older games in my country, since the importer will prefer to sell flash card and newer releases. Thankfully we now have digital releases.
Poor Ironfall developer. I honestly don't care or have any interest to hack my 3DS, even though region free is nice to have, this gen we already have plenty of localization coming.
I'm not really clear. So is it Nintendo asked them to build a Metroid prototype and then turned it down? Or is this company tried to make a Metroid prototype to appeal to Nintendo but got turned down? If it's the latter, well..... I guess I can say anyone can make prototype based on Nintendo franchise, doesn't mean it's a potential project or exciting at all, especially if no one from Nintendo is involved.
Unfortunate incident indeed. I was surprised to see that Nintendo has a change of heart to become more open suddenly, but it appears their policy isn't changing at all and this is only one guy violating the terms. As a company, this is a rather normal thing that happens all the time, so I don't see why people would bash Nintendo for this. It's suck that it happened.
30 years later and this game is still relevant, even by today standards. Sure the successors and many other platformers is superior by definition, but this game set the standard for side-scrolling platformer and has been the example of a good game design.
Great to see Splatoon up there! AC:HHD and YW is still beasting. Hang in there FE:Fates! Wii U increase again, it's kind of surprising to see it in upward trend lately, although it's synonimous with Splatoon. Next week will probably drop a little though.
Pretty cool! The series have a steep learning curve and to be honest, I felt overwhelmed at first too. Though, once you beat a monster, you can't stop, it's so addicting! Hundred of hours is easily loss on this.
@Spoony_Tech gameplay looks pretty good. Similar to FE, but turn-based by each character than team, which seems like a good thing. Will be a nice game to wait until FE Fates. Though yeah, if it's $50, it'll be too steep, $40 with favorable review and I'm sold.
Another thing people most often forgot when talking mobile games is how limited the storage space is. Sure, mobile hardware nowadays are very capable (my Note 4 is a powerhouse that run everything I throw at it), but the better the graphics the bigger they eats the storage too. With most smartphone comes with 16GB default and the trend to remove expandable storage in newer model, thing doesn't look very good. 128GB might become an option nowadays, but if the game started to become much bigger, it'll still fill up quickly.
Even 3DS games with it's low fidelity can be very big (some 3DS releases is >3GB, the maximum catridge size is 8GB btw, while smartphone still have 4GB limit last time I checked). At least, with dedicated handheld console, we have physical games. In other words, mobile games will be always limited, despite how strong the hardware is.
I think Donkey Kong Country cart section or flying barrel section would be a good fit for mobile, then use it as advertisement for full DKC experience on Wii U/3DS.
Well, I don't play the Pokemon Ami features too and I don't see I missed anything. Same thing with Mewnster Hunter feature, while I need it to craft Felynes armor/weapon, I forgot of it too often and just let it play on automatic when I remember. I can say the same to room decoration feature on Fantasy Life too, while nice to have but I just don't bother. I see Fire Emblem Fates extras in the same view, I might use it once and then forget, or maybe get back to it when I'm bored and need some break. It's extra, you can choose to ignore or use it to get some bonus.
Atlus localize a lot of games, some with full voice acting even and their sales seems to never pass Nintendo's own published games. I think Nintendo just don't realise how big the niche market that exists within itself, the Xenoblade case should convince them better and now we see them more happy to localise (Bravely Default/Second, Fantasy Life, Fatal Frame, etc) and hopefully in future too.
I'm thinking of picking EO2U to be my first EO game, but that EOU prequel discount is too hard to pass, so I think I'll get the first game and wait for the inevitable discount on EO2U a few months later.
Well, despite the report that NX will launch in 2016, it's more logical and made sense to expect it in 2017. So there is 2 years before NX, and then the end-of-life support for another year or two.
Sounds good. Although I'm not sure if I wanted to spend 20 hours, I mostly look for a short experience for smaller title like this. I'll keep it in watch for now.
