Re: Nintendo Steps Away From The Brazilian Market

shinokami

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.

Re: Rumour: Toys "R" Us Cancelling amiibo Orders, Including Exclusive Lucario Figure

shinokami

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.

Re: Talking Point: Super Smash Bros. and amiibo Have Enjoyed Success, But Nintendo Could Have Done More

@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.

Re: Talking Point: Super Smash Bros. and amiibo Have Enjoyed Success, But Nintendo Could Have Done More

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.

Re: Poll: Have You Been Able to Buy the Super Smash Bros. Controller, GameCube Adapter and amiibo You Want?

shinokami

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.

Re: Nintendo's Holiday Sales and Profit Set to be "Best in Years"

shinokami

@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.

Re: Rumour: Has Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem Been Cancelled?

shinokami

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.

Watch the profanity — TBD

Re: Nintendo Secures Plenty of Nominations in The Game Awards 2014

shinokami

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.
