Being a sequel to my favorite game of all time, it has a lot to live up to. Makes me wonder if X was just an experiment to get ideas for gameplay in Xenoblade 2.
If this game is half as good as the original, I'll love it to death. I was on the fence about getting a Switch, but now I'm sold.
I am somewhat surprised that they're making a direct sequel, since the first game tied up the story pretty well. I can't wait to see how the story unfolds.

I managed to find a Wii copy just a few weeks ago, been loving it so far. If I would have waited I'd have been able to use a better controller and saved $40, but oh well. It's still a great game.

This was actually the first game I ever owned. It's still one of my favorites and I'll be picking it up for sure when it hits NA.

In my opinion this is the second worst 3d Zelda. It's still a great game, like all 3d Zeldas, but it's plagued by many terrible design choices, such as Navi, the Water Temple, ect. Personally, I think this version is obsolete now that the 3d version exists.

At least in this game I can go to the next dungeon without doing an hour or more worth of filler, unlike the abomination that was Twilight Princess.

@Konda Star Knight comes out this month, and it's arguably the best armor set in the entire game. So yeah, there's something good for G-rank here.

We have to wait till the 17th for Star Knight? Ech, I was hoping I'd be able to get it tomorrow. Oh well. In my opinion, Star Knight ruins a lot of the fun of making your own armor sets because it's so insanely powerful.

At least we get the G rank metal Raths and G rank Dalamadur. Now all we need is GX Crimson and GX Tempest.

EDIT: Apparently G rank Dalamadur isn't in this pack, what a shame.

My main problem with Federation Force is the graphics. I was under the impression that the 3ds had about the same graphical power as the Gamecube, even if the terrible resolution made it look a lot worse. Federation Force looks like a N64 game.

I wasn't a huge fan of the 3ds version, but I guess I'll take advantage of this offer because why not.

When I saw "Star Fox and Mario & Luigi DS games!" I thought we were going to get Bowser's Inside Story as well. Oh well, I can still hope.

Nibelsnarf, Pokke, and more drama?

COUNT ME IN!

@Sakuraichu HAS

I really want this game, but I don't want to shell out the cash for a N3ds. I've been trying without fail to find a reasonable price for the Wii version, but it seems nobody is willing to name a price that isn't a complete ripoff.

Xenoblade Chronicles has my favorite soundtrack of all time, even though I haven't been able to play it yet. It's so expensive, and so is a N3DS.

Getting past the first boss takes some patience, but if you can get past it then all the other bosses are easy, they're all the same.

Also, there's this one planet that's really linear but is a huge difficulty spike. I'm still stuck there for a matter of fact.

It's a decent game, but definitely get it on sale.

Ugh, another Rumble? I'd much prefer another Mystery Dungeon or Ranger. We've had enough Rumble for now.

I hope that most of the games are just teasers or VC ports, because I don't have a smartphone. Dang those things are expensive.

At least we know for sure there will still be Nintendo Handheld-exclusive games, because smartphones just have a touchscreen. There's no good control system for anything beyond the NES/Gameboy if you're using just a touchscreen.

As long as it doesn't detract from the (N)3ds or it's successor, I'll be mostly ok with it. I'm worried that people will think there's no point in another handheld when they have their phone already.

I'm a bit worried about this. From my experience, the average mobile consumer is a cheapskate. They don't want to get anything with a price next to it on the Apple Store, but are pulled in by microtransactions that promise to enhance mediocre gameplay(but doesn't). If Ninty doesn't adapt to that model, they won't have much success outside of already present Nintendo fans. It seems like they're trying to pull in a new audience here, but it may not be easy without shifting their outlook. They want things like Pokemon Shuffle. However, there are still ways they could do things, such as offering demos of games debuting on other consoles, or having an app that has videos of upcoming games on it. Maybe a NES remix game, except it's free and offers VERY limited parts of NES games, but then you have the ability to buy them in full.

There are definitely ways to do this right, but I'm worried that they'll keep on the same as they always have.

This looks like somebody made a custom texture pack for Minecraft and said it was another game entirely.

Those natives are literally the same resolution(pixel wise) as Minecraft skins. And added to that, the wooden pickaxes they're holding look EXACTLY like wooden pickaxes in MC.

I'm calling shenanigans here.

This isn't really a game I think I'd like, but still it's a bit worrying. Pokemon is a huge thing to me, and it always has been. I don't want to have to buy another console if by a slim chance this means Game Freak is moving away from Nintendo. Honestly, none of the other consoles on the market appeal to me. I might miss out on an exclusive or two, but I can get 95% of what's on the PS4/Xbone on Steam.

This probably doesn't mean anything but the reveal of a seemingly mediocre platformer, but if it does, I'll be very sad.

This makes me want to get it... But I still need to beat Majora's Mask, Fire Emblem Awakening, a ton of VC games, and other things in my backlog... And things like Hyrule Warriors, Fantasy Life, and Smash are sucking even more time away from me. I don't think I'd be able to handle another addicting game like this.

Sonichu?

@JakeOfAllTrades Saw a picture on Miiverse a few days ago of a guy with a TON of bottles. It looked like all the masks, but I can't be sure.

My guess: probably.

If you don't live in a city, like me, it's incredibly hard to get streetpasses. I'm glad they're doing this.

The only real reason I want an XL is for Xenoblade, so I most likely won't be getting one until it's released. I hope there's a bundle.

Anybody know what the MM themes are like? I can't check them right now, but they seem interesting.

I hope it's easy as to transfer games from my XL to my New 3ds as it was to upgrade SD cards.

Wait, what if they aren't silver and gold, but gold and platinum? O,O

They could be the final farewell for Club Nintendo! It's probably wishful thinking, but I can dream.

Splatoon looks great, but unfortunately I'll never be able to enjoy it. Since I have satellite internet, I get huge lag and terrible ping. I really doubt that'll be fixable, so I probably won't even bother picking it up in the first place.

I never got to play this, so I'm incredibly excited. Purely judging from screenshots, it looks to be just as good or better than the original!

@R_Champ No problem, I hope you're not disappointed.

By the way, the game is practically built around customization. It has a really cool system that's kind of like the Espers in FF6, but they change your stats and sometimes your class, so everything is incredibly flexible and customizable. You only have 4 party members, but you can change them into practically anything you want. That's what really sells the game for me.

The only good thing that came out of this is that I'm very tempted to get into competitive Smash so I can try to kick Leffen where it hurts. It wouldn't be near as bad if he was just an anti-hero, but he isn't. He's just a straight up jerk. I was practically praying for Mango to win. Leffen needs to be taught a lesson, especially since there's probably going to be a lot of other people emulating him and making the competitive Smash community a terrible place.

I wonder if It'll accept codes for old DS games that I never registered, I have tons of them lying around the house.

@R_Champ Let me guess, was that retro RPG Earthbound? It's the first one that springs to mind when I hear "rabid cult following."

@R_Champ Golden Sun is great, it's in my personal top 5 RPG's of all time. Of course, I can't guarantee that you'll like it, but I personally loved it. Really cool battle mechanics and nice graphics for a GBA game.

I wish I could get W101, but I don't have enough space on my Wii U or enough money to get an external hard drive.

Site's down for me, I'll definitely try to stock up on some VC titles or maybe Star Fox 64 3d. I would get W101, but I just downloaded Metroid Prime Trilogy, and there's not much space left on my Wii U.

Oh boy. I really want this. I really do. But I don't have an external hard drive and a limited 25gb to store games. To add to this, I don't have a Wiimote and nunchuck. Is this worth some of the limited space I have? I don't want to get something that i don't like, and will take up that much space. Is it worth the 8/25 of the space and $40 for the controller?

I would definitely play it, but I don't have any Wii controllers. They cost almost as much as a full game right now.

I'm just hoping they'll eventually put Golden Sun: The Lost Age on the eShop... If they don't soon, I'll have to resort to emulation.

I'll have to see if I have enough space, if I do I might get MK8. I need to get an external hard drive soon.

Multiple endings? Nooo.... Whenever there's multiple endings, I feel obligated to get them all... With the 300+ hours they teased, I'll never be able to leave my house. I just hope there's one ending that's easily the best for the characters involved so I don't have to get them all.

Please Xenoblade. I don't want to have to buy a New 3ds just to play it.

Just got the email. I already had a code, so if none of my friends want one, I'll be posting them here.

@JaxonH Ah, I see.

The demo isn't really a very good measure of the game. I wish there was a bit better way for me to get acquainted with the gameplay. Maybe I'll try to borrow a friend's copy if they ever get one. Sorry for sounding like a noob, I probably should have tried the game a bit more before I made that comment.

Ok, I've never tried a Monster Hunter game before. However, the 4 demo did not impress me. The first thing I noticed was the frequent loading screens. It's very annoying to have to load an area so often. However, the main problem I have with it is the fact that there's no indication that you're doing damage besides the blood effect, and if there's a way to tell, I haven't figured it out. I'm just pressing buttons but I can't tell how much damage I'm doing. It makes it feel like I'm not doing anything to it, when I probably am. It'd also be nice to have an option to have a camera that follows you, using the touchscreen or d-pad is very awkward. This problem will probably be fixed with the New 3ds though.

Most of these problems are with the series itself, so maybe it's not for me. I love hunting monsters in other games for sidequests and things, and I love grinding for equipment, so I thought I would love this, but I'm not really feeling the demo.

What's with Robin and Lucina's faces?

The only demo I've received thus far was the OR/AS one, so i guess I'll have to beg for this one...

sigh

Direct all kindness to [email protected]

Can anyone confirm the block size? I want to make sure my SD card has space before I start begging.

[email protected] if you're feeling particularly generous however

I both loved and hated this direct. I loved it for all the games that were shown, and hated it for the fact that I'll never be able to afford them all. I've really wanted to play Xenoblade Chronicles for a while now, but I can't easily shell out the money for a New 3ds. I also got a Wii U recently, so I have to catch up with the games on it too.

I'm looking forward to XCX. I just hope I'll be able to find a reasonable price for the original XC, as well as a Wii controller for my Wii U.
