@StitchScout idk man he says so right now but when the next Smash starts development I bet he will get involved after a point, its never pleasant to see your creation get screwed with and as Sakurai has said so himself: there can not be Smash without Sakurai
@MetalK9 well first I specified the characters way of moving meaning I didn't target the player's sex but the character's.
Second yeah i bet she is pretty average according to you, no question the Ike was terrible but either you think you are incredibly good or you are, who knows?
I have know that most gamers rather import stuff from the US rather to buy them localy and also I know they buy game digitally because is much cheaper. This issue also provokes piracy which Brazil is realy big at and I honestly don't blame them thanks to prices like that.
In my opinion its a smart decision and Brazilians can still import and turns out much cheaper in the end.
And here I am with 3 Little Mac amiibos bwahahahaha. No I don't plat to sell them, I paint different variations for the characters, I currently have done the one with black shirt and red gloves and I'm brainstorming how to make a wireframe version
I'm thinking they are doing this because people were buying them by the bunch. I personally got 3: one for collection, one for a friend and one to use.
I am personally super pissed at Target and TRU, they both cancelled my orders and re-opened pre-orders again. They both did this at a very early time in the morning and of course I didn't find out until hours later so now I am going to be forced to buy them online for over the top prize. I just hope they'll have enough on the floor for some people to be able to get them launch day.
Has anyone bought a HORI one? I bought the Peach one from PDP and it sucks in all honesty, I just have it on display but if te HORI ones can take a beating like the real GCN controllers I'll get one.
@NinjaWaddleDee yeah I heard about that one and I missed out on it unfortunately, but February is still far and I'm sure they will open more pre-orders soon, and if not I'm sure that if you walk in the day they supply you'll find her no problems as long as you go early in the day seeing and how everyone is freaking out they'll probably buy them by the bunch. The only retail I would worry about is GameStop with Shulk since there is already reports that they'll hold the figures back to sell as used.
I think Nintendo is being smart about amiibo. Any dedicated Smash player, collector and/or fan of a certain character most likely have it by now but when it comes to the general public having the staples is more than enough. People are going crazy right now because they are unavailable but I bet anything that if they were avialable like the rest they would give two squats about it, reason why they didn't get them in the first place. I'm pretty sure they'll reprint every amiibo at some point IN LIMITED QUANTITIES so people who got an interest after the original release can get them.
My only concern is the store exclusives, that could become a real problem in the US thanks to retails like GameStop.
I pre-ordered the bundle so I had no issue with the adaptor and controller. I also pre-ordered Marth since I had some of a hunch this was gonna happen. I was able to purchase both Wii Fit Trainer and Villager the same day I bought the game no problems.
Wave 2 I pre-ordered them online but non of them have arrived, I understand that there is problems with the store shipments due to weather conditions though (US only) but my GameStop sent me a notification that they are on their way.
I like much more SSB4 than Melee because it requires more skill than cheap gimmicks now to KO an opponent, not to mention the mechanics are much more technical. L-Cancelling and Wave dashing are not needed.
@MrGawain The Wii U sales at a lost too you know? Reason why they decided to not price drop it, they already lose (to my understanding) $100 per system, and amiibo not only work for games, they are collectible pieces for old fans and toys for new fans, not to mention the Wii U has games now and whoever doesn't sees that its just in denial.
It won't be long before SONY tries to jump into the market I bet failing miserably at it like every idea they copy. On the other hand Nintendo should make more games that use all characters, not only Smash.
@Xiao_Pai Think about it, there is no use for Wii Fit Trainer outside Smash and there is no Fire Emblem games on the making right now. I expect Villager to be reissued with Animal Crossing U.
I would recommend to get a hold of Shulk and Little Mac next wave.
If this is true I'm gonna find a way to yell at both parties. Being a huge fan of both franchises I can see it working 2 ways:
Fire Emblem style im which instead of batlling other units you fight demons.
SMT Style: You run around with a party of 5, you fight demons.
Since Nintendo is the developer it is more than right that Level 5 takes over gameplay.
SMT team can focus on story since that's their forte and they can do whatever they want because it would not be the first time that FE tempers with both time and space.
Add a friendship system and presto, GET TO WORK.
What people seem to forget is that the Black Wii U have a rewards program. In fact I just realized DLC also counts towards it and I got $15 back thanks to all the DLC (and some free digital games) I have got.

This makes no sence, the Xbone has not being doing well, why would it suddenly boost sales like crazy? I'm pretty sure an HD remake is not enough to do so.
I been Smashing the whole weekend since I live in America. Barely started my Pokemon game and I have the HW DLC season pass. So much to game and not enough time!

My marth amiibo has in fact learn how to beat me most of the time but he has a weakness: He keeps doing Dolphin Slash out of the blue which leaves him defenseless.
The Spike VGA was a joke and they proved so when they chose Skyrim over Skyward Sword, you could tell there was money involved, Bethedesta didn't look surprised as if they knew 100%.
In other note:
MK8 and SSB4 will more likely win their nominations.
Bayonetta has a tough competition thanks to Shadow of Mordor and Alien. Sunset Overdrive its alright and AC:U its a joke even for an AC game.

Re: Rumour: Could Xenosaga's KOS-MOS Be Appearing In Wii U Exclusive Project Treasure?
@Jayvir Actually they released Xenosaga Episodes 1 & 2 in Japan for the DS. If they wanted to they could release them for Wii U and make Episode 4.

Re: Video: Top Super Smash Bros. for Wii U Players in Japan Head Into Battle
The only good player there is the Sheik and you can tell right away by the way she attacks. Everyone else is average.

Re: Talking Point: Super Smash Bros. and amiibo Have Enjoyed Success, But Nintendo Could Have Done More
@markybbop i think you are better off selling your Wii U in all honesty unless you are just waiting for Xenoblade, then sell it.

Re: Professional Super Smash Bros. Melee Player Talks Smash 4
@Storytime7 the fact that you say SSB4 is limited just proves you are a Melee fanboy.
Re: Professional Super Smash Bros. Melee Player Talks Smash 4
@VolcanoFlamesNL you can dodge Ike too, and in fact Kirby has more range, Ike is just faster but not impossible to avoid.
Re: Professional Super Smash Bros. Melee Player Talks Smash 4
