@k8sMum @TheRealThanos No, no no. Sleep sensors are not that stupid! You set the time you want to wake up at and the device wakes you up before that time (sometimes even an hour) whenever you're not in your deep sleep period anymore. As a result, even though you wake up earlier than planned, you're well rested and ready to work. Read more about sleep sensor, Nintendo isn't the first one to introduce them.
And think about it, Nintendo is a Japanese company and Japanese people don't value anything more than their work and being punctual is extremely important.
@GamePerson19 From my understanding its basically a sleep sensor which measures your heartbeat, breathing, mood etc and based on those condition it wakes you up at the proper time so you feel nice and well rested in the very morning. You probably had moments when you slept only few hours but woke up feeling really good and also other moments when you sleep ~10h and wake up tired. Basically, with QoL sleep sensor you'd wake up rested everyday. So, if done nice and sold cheap device like this would be a commercial success for Nintendo
I don't understand all the hate here in the comments. It's not a first Nintendo project related to non-gaming industry, and while all the previous failed, I think this one might be successful, especially now when sleep sensors are getting more and more popular. Wii Fit and balance board were successful and I think QoL is an interesting project. I am very excited for it and I'm happy Nintendo is expanding their business to new sectors.
And to everyone scared they will stop making games - there's nothing to worry. Nintendo has plenty of money, and I'm quite sure funding for QoL most probably didn't even included a cent from funds set for gaming-related stuff.
Symphony of the Goddesses was such a disappointment when I was it in London in April! I mean, the music was amazing, I really loved it, but the crawd acted like a bunch of brainless pigs, clapping, shouting and screaming every 2mins - you can't even hear, let alone enjoy, the music. It is totally ok to applause, but do it after the song, not in the freaking middle of it... The guy next to me was eating McDonald's for the first 15mins of the concert, people were drinking beer and eating popcorn around everywhere. You don't see this kind of behaviour in theatre, opera, ballet or any other orchestra performance. Based on London performance, I can say that most Zelda fans and EXTREMELY immature.
@BarryDunne Not quite, they simply want to create demand... and they did. See how amiibo is popular and every shipment gets sold out instantly? They don't care if scalpers or collectors buy it - they make profit either way. If they increated shipment on each unit and made sure there's stock in every shop on every character making fans happy - chances are (quite big, mind you) amiibo would never get as popular as they are right now.
oh god, these ads are so lame I will now be embarrased to even have a quick look at splatoon game in a shop >_< they should have used the main theme we heard on E3 last year? that was so good, catchy and inky fits the game perfectly! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JHPeVMR96A
definitely Professor Layton, imagine all the possibilities with puzzle attacks, Laytonmobile and he also knows how to use swords. Would be best choice for smash imo but since he's not on the list, I voted for Bayonetta
No good games for good star value unfortunately Americans got much better rewards as a farewell, glad I didn't wait and got the Link between worlds soundtrack when it was available
I like the figures, they look cool but I've never used them in a game. As long as it's something like Smash bros, non-imporant additional content, then i'n fine with it, but new mario party game... I don't want to spend another 40 pounds to play a complete, different from the main-mode, part of a game with all my friends... it's just silly. IF you could use your Mii's in the boardgame part in mario party 10 and you could tap amiibo to give them cute costume that'd be so much better
awesome, I'll pre-order this one as soon as it's available for pre-orders. Don't want to see the same situation like with Majora's Mask cover plate, which go for 40-50pounds on ebay now >_<
the game is unbelievably cheap compared to other 3ds titles! less than 20pounds... must buy! Got time till April to polish up my Japanese Also, I've got a feeling the price will be much higher in the west...
Peach: Welcome to my kingdom of friendship! Poor Mario, always getting friendzoned... Anyway, I wouldn't want to receive a card like that from a girl I like on valentines day. That'd actually make me sad, even if I still was a kid >_< They shouldn't mix days
Why all the hate in comments? I myself am pretty excited about this quality of life project. If they manage to create great products which make your life easier, why not be excited? Plus I'm sure they have a separe strategic business unit for QoL which does not interfere with gaming-related R&D teams.
Plus QoL its a niche area where they might be big, knowing all Nintendo innovative ideas. especially in the world where people follow the 'go green' slogan. If they are successful that means more money for to make more games as well!
wow, the trailer looks intense! never played Xenoblade Chronicles, the prices for wii version on ebay for way too high... most probably will get it for my japanese new 3ds but first need to polish my Japanese >_< unless Nintendo releases it as download for Wii U
hm, maybe I should give it another try with the 1st Devil Survivor... didn't really like the game that much after playing fantastic Shin Megami Tensei IV
As long as its orchestrated I'd get anything. Nothing better than some epicness in your life! The Legend of Zelda 25th Anniversary Special Orchestra CD is the best thing Nintendo released so far (yes, including games! )
Other than that Bravely Default has some amazing soundtrack. Watch Sound Horizon musicals if you're interested

If we're getting Pandora's Tower maybe Xenoblade and The Last Story would be available too at some point? That'd be awesome! Really want to play these games but prices on ebay are insane...
I hope for summer release! I can't recall if Nintendo has any games set for summer release (most are february, march, april and may!) so that'd be perfect opportunity. day one buy
still pretty expensive compared to Japan. i ordered mine from Japan for 150 pounds with monster hunter 4g and a screen protector and a postage. why uk/europe is always so damn expensive?! :/ btw standard model feels so much better now. was using xl before but the new 3ds standard feels so better size wise. it feels more portable than xl. i'd, recommend that one
oh God, hard decision even if I only played 1st, 2nd and jumped straight to 6th generation... I think out of those 3 games I enjoyed Gold the most so gonna vote on that one. But Yellow and X are really really close.
Hell, all the games are the same, how can there be 'best' out of the same?!
Exciting! I like the @3dcaleb's idea of an interactive small on a handheld. Let the time show what are they planning. I'm also quite excited about this QoL project. Now, in the world of rush, this could be really useful
You're welcome, Platinum Games loved the games, both Bayo 1 and 2 are the best titles on Wii U at the moment. Bought on release but had to sell it after finishing due to money problems :< Will definitely get it again when my wallet is all sorted!
it's crazy that people list amiibo not being placed properly in box as defective... and what is even crazier, people bid on them. Mad world, we live in.
8gb is not bad at all, I bought it at times of Mario Kart 8, attached 32gb usb stick and I'm super happy. Was much cheaper and in a good bundle. I just wish the console was black, as it looks better.
Just reserved last Marth at local Argos, will pick it up tomorrow moring. Lucky! Interesting how much will those amiibo be worth after awhile on ebay, but I might just keep it for myself Wanted to buy them all sooner or later anyway but no money at the moment :<
