I don't really know much about Diddy, seeing as I'm unable to play online because of my absolutely terrible connection. However, I've been able to usually beat him in singleplayer using Shulk. None of my friends ever use Diddy, so I've never really faced another actual human being using him, which limits my ability to pass judgement.
I just can't decide. Most of the games are special in their own ways. Pearl has nostalgia, Alpha Sapphire/Sapphire has a great adventure and soundtrack, Soul Silver was the one I've played the most, X has an amazing online, Black/Black 2 had great stories and had a great feel to them. To be honest, the only pokemon games I don't like were the original Red and Blue. Sorry, but without the nostalgia factor they really don't hold up at all for me.
To be honest, I was not that impressed with this game. It's difficulty curve was very strange, with the first boss being balls-to-the-wall hard, to the point where you have to memorize his animations for every attack, but then the rest of the game being very easy. The lack of things to explore also put me off.
However, the main thing I hated about this game was the checkpoints. You almost never saw them. Sure, they were helpful when fighting bosses, but many a time it was incredibly annoying just trying to GET to the boss, because you'd have to start all the way from the beginning if you died. Combined with the fact that some enemies soaked way too many bullets, this system really ruined the game for me. This game is difficult, yes. But it's not "good difficulty" that rewards you for your skill with the game. It's just filler difficulty that makes you THINK the game is hard, even though it really isn't.
Unfortunately, I'm a bit too young to have grown up with the 64. However, I've absolutely LOVED most of the remakes, like Mario 64 and Star Fox. Ocarina of Time was so-so, but I have high hopes for Majora's Mask.
My internet is too bad to enjoy online mode, but Lil' Mac does show many traits of what Sakurai said in singleplayer. It's so dang hard to beat Master Hand with him and his terrible aerials.
However, against the terrible AI I can wreck with him.
I absolutely love game music, especially because I find most artists nowadays downright annoying. Almost my ENTIRE playlist is full of tunes from great games.
Looks pretty cool! Was never really into MM myself(I just couldn't get past any bosses ever, I could get through the stages though), but this looks like a great thing for fans!
I kinda feel like a misfit here, I actually like the controls quite a bit, haha
Guess it's cause I'd been playing Nintendo handhelds for years before I got a console, and am much more proficient with them than I am with console Smash.
Either way, I am beyond hype for this, and I need it NOW!
I honestly don't get the hate for the 3ds version :/ I don't really think it held back development of the Wii U version at all(Except for Ice Climbers, oh well) It's a blessing for people like me who can't afford a Wii U. The only real gripe I have about it is that it can be hard to see everything on a standard 3ds. Luckily, I have an XL. I think we should all appreciate what we've got, not what we wanted. Everything can't be exactly to our expectations.

Re: Atlus Releases New Teaser, Box Art and Pre-Order Bonus Details for Etrian Mystery Dungeon
I wish we'd get another Pokemon Mystery Dungeon sometime soon... I'll probably pick this up to tide me over until we get another one.
Re: Feature: 12 Days of Nintendo Christmas - Day Seven
8 Shulks a feeling.
C'mon. You know you want this.
Re: Feature: Time to Vote For Your Game of the Year Awards 2014
Overall GOTY was Smash for me.
3ds was Fantasy Life, I absolutely LOVED it.
Shovel Knight for 3ds eshop(The 3d effect was great on this version)
Re: December's Club Nintendo Rewards Aim to Bring Festive Cheer
Oh come on.
I held off getting Metroid 2 thinking there would be something better this month...
sigh Maybe next time...
Re: Feature: 12 Days of Nintendo Christmas - Day Four
Aw, c'mon, think outside the box.
How about Five Golden Gauntlets for a Zelda reference?

Re: Nintendo eShop Maintenance Planned for 1st December
Every time an eShop update occurs, I hope that they will put SNES games on the eShop... but they never do...
Re: Nintendo Secures Plenty of Nominations in The Game Awards 2014
Best Remaster... ugh
The only two I would even accept on that list are ORAS and to a lesser extent, the HALO one. The others are just awful choices.
Why does that category exist anyway?...
Also, I'm betting on Shovel Knight for best indie.
Re: 3DS Homebrew Exploit Set to be Launched on 22nd November
The only reason I would try this is to FINALLY play SNES games on my 3ds.
Re: Poll: Who'll Be Your Main amiibo Buddy?
I'm hoping I can pick up a Shulk Amiibo, but I'm worried they'll go the way of his game in terms of prices D:
Re: Little Mac Is Officially The Least Successful Fighter in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS

However, against the terrible AI I can wreck with him.
Re: Video: The Top 10 Mario Platformers, As Selected By You
NSMB1 Will always be my favorite
Re: Citizens of Earth Release Pushed Back to 20th January
My RPG backlog is kinda huge right now, I'm too hooked on Fantasy Life for me to try to slog through it D:
Unless I finish all of my backlog by then, I doubt I'll pick it up for a while anyway.
Re: Super Smash Bros. for Wii U Takes Sharing Experiences to New Levels
@triforcepower73 Don't you mean Swapnote?
Re: Atlus Discounts 3DS eShop Titles in North America
Hmm.
Might pick up one of these, what's the best one?
Re: Two Pokémon Game Boy Color Titles Dated For North American 3DS eShop
Still no dang actual mainseries VC pokemon games... Dang it, I don't care about the unability to catch em all, I JUST WANT TO PLAY.
Re: Poll: Nintendo Minute Debate - Is Super Mario World or Super Mario Bros. 3 More Influential?
Haven't played World, but I find it really irksome that there's a world map in 3, but you can't replay levels :/
Re: Feature: Ari Pulkkinen's Quest to Turn the Volume Up on Game Music
I absolutely love game music, especially because I find most artists nowadays downright annoying. Almost my ENTIRE playlist is full of tunes from great games.
Re: Junichi Masuda Talks Pokémon Snap and Listening to Fans
Would be a good idea, but I'd be more excited for a new Ranger. It was really fun, and they need to make another.
Re: Gallery: Enjoy a Cuteness Overload in These Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker Screens
@Omarpixel9 Funds, my wallet is pretty tight right now, but I expect I'll be able to get one by the end of the year
Re: Gallery: Enjoy a Cuteness Overload in These Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker Screens
This makes me want a Wii U even more ;-;
Re: Miniatures for Mega Man: The Board Game Take Shape
Looks pretty cool! Was never really into MM myself(I just couldn't get past any bosses ever, I could get through the stages though), but this looks like a great thing for fans!
Re: Video: Take a Look at All of the 3DS HOME Menu Themes
The ALBW theme is really great, I had 2 dollars in my account and bought it for teh lulz.
Sometimes I find myself just staring at it for minutes on end when I'm supposed to be uploading a screenshot to Miiverse or something.
Re: 3DS System Update 9.0.0-20 Is Now Live with Home Menu Themes
Picked up the Zelda one with the $2 I had in my account, it looks AMAZING.
And I'm STILL waiting for a system update in which we can finally play SNES games on the 3ds ;-;
Re: Now You Can Gawk at New Nintendo 3DS Demo Units and Packaging from Japan
I hope data transfer will be somewhat simpler, and that I don't have to buy another 32gb SD card to transfer my stuff to ;-;
This and the fact that I don't have a Wii U yet means my wallet will be considerably lighter...
Re: Guide: Unlocking the Full Roster in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS
I love using Ness, his side smash is insane and his voice is super awesome :3
Re: Review: Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS (3DS)
I kinda feel like a misfit here, I actually like the controls quite a bit, haha
Guess it's cause I'd been playing Nintendo handhelds for years before I got a console, and am much more proficient with them than I am with console Smash.
Either way, I am beyond hype for this, and I need it NOW!
Re: Guide: Everything You Need to Know About Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS
@B3ND3R We need a "For Teh Lulz!" mode.
Re: Nintendo Confirms Two More Début Releases Coming to the Virtual Console
Still no SNES games on the 3ds...
Re: Exclusive: Masahiro Sakurai on Planned Accidents and New Ways to Play Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS
I honestly don't get the hate for the 3ds version :/
I don't really think it held back development of the Wii U version at all(Except for Ice Climbers, oh well)
It's a blessing for people like me who can't afford a Wii U. The only real gripe I have about it is that it can be hard to see everything on a standard 3ds. Luckily, I have an XL.
I think we should all appreciate what we've got, not what we wanted. Everything can't be exactly to our expectations.
Re: Miiverse Currently Affected by Maintenance, More Wii U and 3DS Work Planned
Every time there's a maintenance period, I hope that it means SNES games will finally be on the 3ds Eshop... Please let it happen this time ;-;
Re: Guide: How To Beat Everyone At Super Smash Bros. For Nintendo 3DS
Haha, this is my first Smash game, and I'm such a scrub :3
I can't tell my tilts from my dashes from my smashes, and I love it anyway xD
Smash is so great, it's definitely one of Nintendo's greatest achievements, and I'm looking forward to actually knowing somewhat how the game works
Re: Nintendo Download: 25th September (North America)
Ugh... C'mon Nintendo... Is the 3ds too weak to run SNES and GBA games? You would easily get a free $50 just from me... C'mon.
Re: Weirdness: Playing as Peach Online is Triggering Auto-Bans in Japan
Playing with a bad connection?

I really hope the game thinks my internet is better than it actually is... I wanna play so badly, but my ping is absolutely awful.
Re: Talking Point: The Super Smash Bros. 3DS Demo Has Been an Easy Triumph for Nintendo
I will send a virtual hug to anyone who gives me a NA code :3

(God I feel like a scrub)
Re: Talking Point: The Super Smash Bros. 3DS Demo Has Been an Easy Triumph for Nintendo
D:
I want to play that so bad, but I joined Club Nintendo fairly recently, and didn't have Platinum ;-;
I really don't want to beg, but I might have to if I keep getting tormented by the awesomeness
I live in NA and my email is [email protected]...
I really don't want to be one of "those guys" but I REALLY wanna play Smash.
Re: Demo for Super Smash Bros. 3DS Announced for North America and Europe
Even though I really don't want to beg, I really want a NA code ;-;
If you feel being kool, direct koolness to [email protected]
I greatly appreciate your kindness, and will shower you with virtual hugs and cookies.
