Alright guys. I'm gonna be at work when this comes on, so I'm giving my final prediction now. And just a note, the last time there was a Smash Direct, I predicted Greninja and and City Trial mode for Smash... Look what happened! I know what I'm talking about!
So, my predictions this time are, King. K. Rool will be a new fighter, and, at the end Sakurai will announce Kirby Air Ride 2. You heard it here first! It's totally going to happen! TOTALLY YEAH!
@KomrathDE I learned programming in Petit Computer. It's certainly not the most up-to-date language, but it's helped me understand the logic and kind of thinking you need to use when programming!
Anyways, SmileBASIC is soon going to become my most played 3DS app! I'm working on a pretty big project that I'll probably never finsish, but hey, I still enjoy the programming so who cares?! I honestly don't mind the touch screen keyboard, especially since I have an XL. Plus I'm pretty slow and steady when it comes to programming, so the slow typing pace doesn't phase me. SmileBASIC probably has the best keyboard on any 3DS app too, with copy/past functions, L/R for shift, autofill suggestions, and a few other nice shortcuts, so again, it's not as bad as it might sound. (There are also a few workarounds where you can type code on a PC and then transfer it via audio cable, but that might be even more cumbersome than just using the touchscreen.)
Miiverse is also an amazing part of the app. People can go on there with questions, post pictures of their code, share games, it's amazing how easy it is to get help through it. Finally, there are already some great games available that immediately make this worth the $10. Solid Gunner, Spooky Maze, Bub, Celeste (Although this is also available on Pico-8), Strawberry Storm Striker, Yuki no Reigndeer (Perfect for Christmas, and one of my personal favorite games so far!), and, of course, GSi Live - The SEQUEL!!! (Shameless plug) Not to mention all the great tools that could be made. Basically, buying this game is a no brainer. Even if you have no plans of programming, you still have tons of games and apps you can try out, and if you are interested in programming, this is a great place to start and having it with you all the time is one of the coolest things out there. (Programming while waiting in a long line is, for example, pretty cool feeling! )
Maybe I'm a bit biased since Petit Computer was what got me into programming in the first place, but I think this is a must have for all 3DS owners!
I'm kind of interested in Terraria, so I might download that, but otherwise nothing for me this week. I gotta say though, this is one of the better weeks we've had in a while!
@Not_Soos I'M HERE KAR2 CONFIRMED THE BIG ANNOUNCEMENT TOMORROW THAT'S WHAT IT IS AGGGGHA HYPE!
Hasn't even looked at the article yet
Edit: Okay, I've actually read the article now. My hype levels for KAR2 are starting to rise again. This, coupled with the huge amount of KAR concept art on HAL's website (Has more than any other game), is really hyping me up. I mean, it still probably doesn't actually mean anything, but... MAYBE IT ALSO DOES I DUNNO!!!!
It's weird seeing a title published by Microsoft releasing on Wii U... Regardless, great news! I'm happy with the PC version, so I probably won't pick this up, but it's great people who want it won't have to settle for the lackluster clones anymore.
Wow, I never thought this would be localized! Good for those who wanted it. I don't really think I'd use in much, since I basically just use two full screens on my 3DS Home menu, and that's it. Only if they released some badges I really liked (Like, Kirby Air Ride stat patches?!) would I try to win a few.
Man, that's a shame... I was expecting it after hearing impressions from multiple people, though. I'll pick it up, since I'm a huge fan of the show, but only when I can get it cheap.
I voted for Gravity Falls, I'll probably get it physical though. I found some gameplay on YouTube and it looks beautiful! I'm pretty sure that the game, even if it doesn't end up being great, will still be fun to play through, especially as a big Gravity Falls fan!
I'm a huge fan of Gravity Falls, and I'm actually tempted to by this game before seeing a review! (That is, if there aren't any reviews on launch day) Really hope it turns out good. I know the trailer looks nice, but looks aren't everything!
I've been waiting forever for this! I loved Petit Computer (Most played game on my 3DS), I can't wait to get started programming in SmileBASIC, I have so many game ideas!
I love my Game Boy Camera, but I don't think I use it enough to justify the price. Definitely cool though, would love a better method of backing up photos than taking pictures of the TV with the Super Game Boy.
So it's basically just trying to play two different games at once? If I wanted to do that I'd use my iTouch to play flappy bird and my 3DS to play something else. There, now I've played this game!
I saw Robot Kremling Krocbot as one of the crossed out character names! It must be related to the unused animatronic kremling sprites found in the game.
Hmm, looks really interesting, I'm definitely picking this up if it's good! The programming aspect looks pretty cool, although the trailer didn't exactly make it clear how the game works, but I trust them enough to make sure it's fun.
DIY is easily my favorite in the series. I have no idea how much time I spent making microgames, but it had to be a lot! It helped teach me some programming basics too, and while I've since moved on to a bit more advanced things, (Like Petit Computer) I still occasionally go back to DIY to make another microgame. Plus, I use the music editor for a few things too. I've recreated a few songs, and I'm making the music for the Future Pinball game I'm working on in DIY.
Other than DIY, my favorite "normal" (If you can call any of the games that!) game in the series is easily Smooth Moves. Maybe it was because it was the first one I played, but I mean, it makes amazing use of the Wii Remote, most of the microgames feel totally unique, and the multiplayer games are amazing!
Even though I pretty much knew SmileBASIC wouldn't release today, I couldn't help but get my hopes up... Oh well, at least I know it's coming some time soon
@invictus4000 Yeah, that's what I said! It didn't seem like I said I hated people did it? Because I certainly don't hate anyone and I don't want to cause any confusion on that!
@technotaylor98 Dude, don't disregard the entire game because of this. It's not the main plot point or anything (The game practically doesn't even have a plot) and it's totally avoidable. Yes, it's wrong, but a lot of games have a little bit of sinful content that you should be able to see as wrong and just ignore. Of course, if there was an oversaturation of it, or if it was a big part of the game, that would be different, but as it stands this is just a dumb quick addition you can easily avoid. Plus, I don't think it's in the 3DS version. (Don't take my word on that though)
Look, apparently this is becoming the norm nowadays, as much as I hate to admit it and as much as I disagree with it, so can you please stop reporting on it every stinking time a video game does it?! All it does is create controversy in the comments, and it gives a game news coverage that it didn't do anything to earn. I feel like a lot of devs do it now just for easy publicity, because they know if they do it, a bajillion news sites will report on it. Even though, like, it's basically absolutely not new at all and we've already seen it a billion times now.
Well, I have the YouTube App, and I don't think Nintendo will force me to get rid of it or update it, so once Nintendo's next handheld releases and my 3DS is obsolete, I guess I'd like to try some of this stuff out. If Nintendo does force Google to update the YouTube app though, I hope they also force them to make it actually good. Like, improve the video quality, and the fact it can't play 3D videos in 3D is ridiculous.
I'd love to get to try this. My brother actually did get to play on his trip to Japan, though! He said he ended up getting through the whole game! (After spending a ton of yen on continues, of course. )
What the- I don't get upset easily, but this really ruffles my feathers. I was really hoping he would be added, and voted for him, but now that vote obviously went to waste. I guess I'll have to vote for someone else now...
I was wondering why there hasn't been any Game & Watch cover plates or special edition systems, seeing as how the DS was inspired by the multi screen games, and that it would just look awesome! This looks cool, albeit really bulky, but I'd consider buying it if I had a New 3DS.
I'm kind of glad Nintendo is trying to make Miiverse what they want it to be, instead of just letting it become totally different and not at all unique. All the things people won't be able to on Miiverse as much anymore, (Chats, roleplays, big discussions) are all things you can do on any regular ol' forum. Hopefully after the update it will become significantly more unique, more game focused, and less cringeworthy.
So Mabel is going to be in the next Disney Infinity then?
YUSSS!
Seriously though, lots of good choices there. Robin Hood, Peter Pan, Captain Hook, Goofy, are other really good characters. Would be nice if they a all get in eventually.
My brother actually got to play this while he was in Japan. He said it was pretty fun! It'd be cool to see it come to the west, but I'm not getting my hopes up.
This is unbelievable news... My prayers go to his family, and Nintendo. He will be missed so much, and I don't think any companies have ever had a better president.
This is the color I really wanted, so if I ever decide to upgrade, I'll get this. I still don't think I'm going to upgrade though, I'm perfectly happy with my XL!
Um, this doesn't have spoilers for someone who hasn't seen series 8 yet, right? Because I want to watch that trailer, but I haven't seen series 8. Why it isn't on Netflix yet, I don't know.
When I first saw this, I was kind of hoping it was a Spelunky clone. I love that game, and I really wish I could get it on my 3DS! Still, with it getting a review this good and only being a couple bucks, it might be worth a shot.

Re: NX Won't Be The Next Version Of Wii Or Wii U, Says Nintendo President Tatsumi Kimishima
So, by the sounds of it, it won't be replacing the 3DS in any way? I hope so, I love the 3DS and I don't think it's quite ready to be replaced yet.
