@Incognito_D I feel the same way about the timeline. Let only the games that are obviously connected be connected. Majora's Mask clearly comes after Ocarina of Time. Wind Waker is clearly in the far future of Ocarina of Time. As far as I'm concerned, Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword are not connected to any of the games besides the characters.
On the one hand, this is not a bad message to be pushing, given that nowadays there are high-profile failures to launch a good game (see: Assassin's Creed Unity and Batman: Arkham Knight).
On the other hand, they really should work on making localisation a priority. Just look at the Witcher 3 as an example of a game that launched with multiple language support. We would have Xenoblade Chronicle X by now if they didn't need to wait months before launching in the west.
Just disappointed that you need three players for the full experience. You can't even get by with two. I would need to buy another 3DS to actually have fun with this game in my household.
The funny part is, a few years ago we would be blasting the puritanical ESRB for refusing to allow even the tiniest bit of skin to show in video games, but today we are blasting video games for disrespecting women and showing so much skin.
Exchangeable face plates are nice and stuff, but I just love the bigger screen. I won't trade it in for the smaller one, though it would've been nice if they did the face plates on the larger version too.
Hopefully the future New 3DS exclusives look really good, or are anywhere near the scope that Xenoblade Chronicles 3D was.
Owning a new 3DS and having played through 115 hours of Xenoblade with 3D turned on the whole time, this definitely makes Dragon Quest VIII less appealing to me.
I would be way more excited for Paper Mario if it was on 3DS.
Paper Mario: Sticker Star not only was a welcome throwback to Paper Mario (especially coming after Super Paper Mario) with the extra sticker mechanic being awesome, it looked REALLY good in 3D. I bet Paper Mario would have looked just as good in 3D.
Looks like a better chords app than what I use on my phone currently. The two screens really help in playing the chords and seeing the fingerings also.
The graphics look great because it was one of two games that required the expansion pack (the other being Majoras Mask).
Because of this, I only had one opportunity to borrow it from a friend and play it, and it did leave a good impression, so I am looking forward to playing DK64 again.
Pokemon Rumble World is great. They also have specials for gems, and I just started so I'm not sure, but you get a ridiculous amount of gems for what you can use them for early-game for not a lot of money.
@Kasplat I use it all the time man. I figure it's safer than straight rest. It would hit when rest would hit anyway and you spend less time vulnerable. Plus, they can't smash you without falling asleep.
This is the cherry on top for Jigglypuff. Like TheRegginator says, you set up using "cheap tactics" but whatever, you win. I like staying in the air where Jigglypuff is really the only one who lives there in For Glory mode. Descend down on your opponent and hit them with fair, bair, or dair. You can mix in side special and it will take a good chunk out of the opponent's shield or counter pretty much any move they have, and then still hit them. Once you figure out where the opponent moves, you anticipate them and Up Special to sing them to sleep. Once they're safely asleep, you can get right next to them and Rest them to death.

Re: Review: Adventure Time: Finn and Jake Investigations (3DS)
I'll try it out only because it's Adventure Time. It looks like it won't be as big a disappointment as that dungeon game so that's a big plus for it!

@Megapokepaul I don't get the idea of a "bad" E3. Just because some people are entitled jerks and mad about Metroid they had a "bad" E3?
Re: Interview: Image & Form Discusses SteamWorld Heist And Why It'll Be on 3DS First

I want this! Never got the WiiU version because the price was never right, but I expect the 3DS will be a buy for me.

Re: Xenoblade Chronicles X Will Use Downloadable Data Packs To Expedite Loading Times
@Peach64 Disc-based media isn't improving. If they sold us these games on flash drives or SD cards it would be a different story.
The trick would be changing from disc-based to flash-based and not increasing the price by more than $10.
