Woah, the day it looks like i'll finally have internet back at home (can't wait until i can return there to see if it really works) and finally the Wii U version of MSF2 is getting a discount. (I already got it on the 3DS.) And since it's such a hefty one i'll definitely get it fingers crossed. I'll also get Shantae and the Pirate's Purse on the 3DS. I might even think about getting the Wii U version along with it as long as i'll still get Club Nintendo Stars for it. The discount doesn't make the combined price sound too bad.
Master Reboot definitely. Maybe Tengami too even though it's quite a shame they didn't give it Wii Remote controls. BLOK DROP X TWISTED FUSION's price point imo is too high in comparison to the US version so i'm waiting for a sale on that one.
Might get some of the others too if reviews point me in that direction.
/me applauds I have to keep up with this stuff somehow. It would be so sweet if i could provide my dad with a 3DS containing all the games he bought us back in the days and a few others he'd really love.
I almost forgot about this. Glad i'm not the only one who hasn't gotten any info on the CD yet. @Baker1000 All i could find was "Dispatching of soundtrack CDs will begin in early 2015. Dispatching of download codes will begin in spring 2015." on Ninty's official promotion site.
I sadly missed the discounts on Stealth Inc 2, The Swapper and Thomas Was Alone due to not having internet at home atm. It would be great if that sale was coming again soon.
The first paragraph made me think about that adventure/poker mix kind of game that was on kickstarter one day. While sadly it didn't make the cut it sure as heck sounded like having a buttload of potential.
You can have the small new 3DS i didn't get, America. I'm totally fine with my MH4 new 3DS XL. Also, while reading the article "Emotion Detector" by Rush came to mind.
Just ordered the amiibos that launch today. The shop's website says they'll be with me on March 30th.
Out of the older ones i've ordered on the 4th i haven't really heard about Falcon, Pit, Rosalina, Villager and Zelda yet. I'll see what's up with that on Tuesday.
The Marth amiibo should be available in May again where i ordered it.
Not exactly on-topic but i think it's a bit of a shame that the new 3DS XL doesn't include the same big stylus that came with the DSi XL. It's so much better to play with that.
the Nintendo 3DS doesn't support Unity or the Nintendo Web Framework
And imo that's the biggest problem between the Wii U and the 3DS atm. Many of these small games released on the Wii U would be a much better fit for the 3DS.
I would say that the games that work best on Nintendo platforms are the ones that share a similar heart or "DNA" with Nintendo. It can be character-driven, but it's just a feeling, a passion for the genre or style of game. It's a bit nostalgic, but I think that whether it's a Shovel Knight or Shantae or Teslagrad, you could say "Oh, those are Metroidvania games, there's pixel art, retro music," but it's a level of heart that comes through in the marketing and development of those titles. You can see the heart that goes into creating it and Nintendo fans get that and see it.
Hmmm, looks like it will be more than 3€ here in Germany so it would be higher than the kinda usual 1:1 Dollar --> Euro conversion. I'll wait for a discount.
@JaxonH The question would be if they were more profitable than now though. I just don't think the Wii U will sell any better than it did last year. Although i'd really like it to take off like a rocketship.
So making people believe that it can might just lead to frustration.
I guess that's just when happens when you've got a clue of what your customers really want. I kinda wish they had released STEAM instead of Majora since it really could've used the boost of being a revision-launch game.
It would've been great if the cards had been included in the original releases and if the option to get cards instead was there from beginning. They should be so much more convenient to take with you and take up a lot less space in your home.
My impression so far is that the new 3DS XL is what the 3DS should've been from the get-go. If i already owned a regular XL and if the MH4 edition wouldn't be so sexy i dunno if i would've gotten it yet.
@RCMADIAX (#2): Spike!?!?! Really?!?!? I'll wait for A and B button amiibos then. They can't be too far off by the looks of it.
Also what @EmmatheBest (#5) said.
If the data transfer to the n3DS goes well i might see what i can do with my old model which i'll probably give away to my pops. He's not interested in playing the newest games or online so it should probably work just fine.
I think that a 1 to 5 point scale is the best way to go. Todays 7/10's would probably be 4/5's then. Which would be way better for 'em imo.
Also when a 6/10 becomes a 3/5 it somehow makes the game look better.Many 6/10's are good games, so that would do 'em more justice imo.
It's only a snapshot in time to make people help decide on which game they should get. Not like that would really have anything to do with the game becoming a true classic later on.
I've yet to play any of their games.but i'm looking forward to giving BLOK DROP U a go. Quite interested in finding out more about their other games too.
Dang. If i had known the amiibos will probably all be available as cards one day i might have held off on a purchase. Cards sounds so much cheaper and a lot more convenient.
