I don't care for the C-Nub, but I'm happy with the New 3DS model.

What would they do? Unlock single player levels with the slosher and splatling?

I expect Pokemon Z, another Kirby game, and another port from Monster Games (Tropical Freeze 3D?).

@IceClimbers
Federation Force is still there for NA. It's listed between Dragon Quests 7 and 8.

I don't expect very exciting news tomorrow. I feel like more info on Nintendo Account and Miitomo is due though.

I'm hoping for a Nintendo Direct next week. Nintendo releases its financial results for Holiday 2015 and has an upcoming investors meeting. They need something to talk about.

Let's see, on March 18 we get: 2 new games, 7 new amiibo, pokemon amiibo restocks, and a new amiibo card series. It's clearly a busy day.

I can't help but think these special edition consoles are only targeted at existing customers instead of new ones.

Hopefully Bayonetta 2 sells over a million copies by now.

I want to buy the eShop version of the game. I guess I will import the standalone amiibo from somewhere.

I'm cautiously optimistic. I don't care for the filler releases on 3DS and Wii U as long as NX is amazing. The NX launch NEEDS to be strong: 3D Mario, 3D Zelda, Amiibo Game, etc.

@Hinaru77
Good to know, thanks. I didn't think Bayonetta sales were just as bad, but what do I know. Wii U has always struggled.

So apparently SMTxFE bombed?...

I want to be excited for Star Fox Zero, but I highly doubt it will have much replayability.

Any chance Excitebike 64 will come out eventually?

Wave Race 64!!! Please NOA!!!

@TheLastLugia
Nintendo reported Splatoon sales of 2.42 million on September 30.

Sales should probably pass 3 million by now!

It should be great to see the final game roster even if every character isn't released.

Hm. This is probably a Christmas day release on the eShop.

2016 is bringing us a lot of sequel and port games. Another 2D Kirby for 3DS is a given. I'm not sure if Nintendo is developing 3DS games with new concepts right now (except Federation Force.)

I like symmetric controllers. Has anyone thought of putting the two analog sticks in the center of the face buttons and directional buttons?

This debate is oddly s-pacific!

I wish Sega went back to developing racing games. I guess there isn't a big enough market.

Has Nintendo learned anything from the Wii U? They seem to be going through the motions right now. I can't tell if they're working hard on making the next console a success or they're incapable of releasing games on time.

Sigh. In my opinion, the Wii U is only worth buying for games 1 thru 5. The rest don't have much longevity.

Has anyone asked for a female Mario? I'm not sure why Link is the only character getting a female request.

I will buy Roy only if he is compatible with Fire Emblem Fates.

The graphics look fine to me. Just give us online multiplayer.

I wish Yokai Watch the best. I haven't seen very much advertisement for the game, so I'm not sure about these claims. I like the anime, I'm going to support the series.

I'm surprised that the My Nintendo service offers physical rewards again. I thought Club Nintendo was becoming a detriment because of all the shipping costs.

There should be Miiverse integration. I thought the whole point of these mobile games was to drive hardware sales. Nintendo newcomers on Miitomo should be able to see the activities in Miiverse communities and get interested in console Nintendo games.

NX launch title please.

Nintendo really needs to remove Project Guard and Robot from the listings. I doubt those concepts will ever be released. DLC for Star Fox Zero maybe.

That's really cute. :3

@rjejr
Lol. I'm just going by the costumes found in Super Mario Maker. Nintendo can expand the series if they'd like.

I'm positive there will be Slippy, Peppy, and Arwing amiibo. There might even be a line of Sonic amiibo...

We've known about Xenoblade X for almost 3 years now. My hype has died from the long wait.

The only unknown is Animal Crossing amiibo Festival release date. Any guesses: Nov 6? Nov 13?

@shani
Awesome. The game looks great and I'm sure the developers have learned a lot from the previous game. I got stuck in Fast Racing League because all the CPU players had cars with higher top speed.

I wasn't a big fan of Fast Racing League, but I'm looking forward to this game.

Is Nintendo trying anymore? They're clearly just buying more time until the launch of NX. I seriously hope that NX releases November 2016.

This is pathetic. The Wii U needs to be replaced next year.

Sounds neat. I've thought for a while that 4 shoulder buttons are a waste.

Is there going to be a 25th anniversary Sonic game next year? (besides this one)

Pikmin is not a system seller. I think Pikmin 4 is for Wii U.

I guess this makes sense. They spent a lot of time on the Pikmin 3 engine on Wii U, so making a sequel should be pretty easy. I'm not a fan of Pikmin though.

I look forward to the future Yooka Laylee amiibo!

@ThomasBW84
Thanks for the update. I think you're right, Vs Excitebike will probably come out in the next couple of days.

Vs Excitebike disappeared? I'm way more thankful for Sin and Punishment anyway.

Megaton announcement: retail release date of the original Shovel Knight.
