I like it better when Nintendo doesn't make these decisions for us. I mean, I'd probably still be playing with the gamepad, but make that the default and let us try it the other way too. Better yet, go all pikmin 3 on this bad boy and give us four or five control schemes even if half aren't ideal.

That said, the gamepad controls are great. The aiming using the tilt sensors in the gamepad is super smooth and I like it way better than the Wii remote felt in 2006.

I'm done rebuying games. Until Nintendo lets me play the vc games I've already purchased on all their platforms, I'm not dumping another cent into the vc.

I was skeptical of Badge Arcade but it's become an almost daily exercise for me. The rabbit has a great personality and I actually enjoy the process of catching the badges more than displaying them, though I do have pikmin all over my menu screen. I've only spent two dollars total (right around when I first got it) and have over a hundred different badges collected. The game is very generous with free plays and chain reactions can pay off in many badges sometimes. Looking forward to Mega Man badges!

It's such a missed opportunity that they didn't call that class, "nekomancer."

Neat! Now can we get the Paper Mario style/theme I've been wanting since the game came out? Thanks!

@VanillaLake Baten Kaitos had a battle system based entirely on cards. Different from how they work here as special items. I went crazy with that game. When I mastered my deck, I steamrolled everything! Loved it.

@Nashew Dream Team was very good. The pushy tutorials in the first half were annoying, but not enough to spoil it for me. Couldn't put the game down.

Can't wait for Paper Jam!

Excited. I had assumed there was no chance of this coming here since almost no Langrisser games have, and I'm a fan of the series. I still own my original copy of Warsong and I still play it.

I watched a chunk of that video to see what people were complaining about and sure, it looks a little unrefined compared to a big budget blockbuster like FE, but it's pretty consistent with what we had from the series 20 years ago and I look forward to trying it, especially if they do a good job with localization.

I honestly was surprised to hear the VO from Kerensky on that YouTube video going, "wow, this is bad!" It is? He's complaining about units bursting and vanishing when they are defeated? Maybe I'm old, but I don't see the problem as a significant one.

The soundtrack is not out of place. This is the style of music this series has.

Reviews from people who understand the language similarly dislike it, so I'm concerned:

I'll look forward to a professional reviewer giving it a try, or a demo to try it myself.

I avoid downloading on Nintendo platforms unless it's either the only option or I've gotten it at a serious discount. The lack of adequate storage or a real account system make it a definite no. I wanted to try fatal frame but there wasn't enough room on my WiiU. I'm not curious enough to buy another external hdd.

I'm somewhat excited about I Love My Dogs for 3DS but I'm going to hold out for the rest of the series so I can pick it up in a compilation with I Wish I Got Cats Instead, I'm So Over My Dogs, and What Was I Thinking When I Got More Than One Dog?

Canceled my preorder. If the game ever comes out, and reviews well, maybe I'll pick it up then.

I never did manage to play through Majora's Mask. I had all but stopped console gaming by the time it came out and didn't even own an N64 until years later. I tried playing through it on Gamecube but the lousy job they did on the port, combined with the frustration of feeling like I was being robbed of all my progress every time I had to time travel, made me stop playing.

Here's hoping for a generally available (not extremely limited numbers only at the Nintendo World Store) special edition of some kind in North America for this game.

I'm tempted, but with all three of these on my shelf already and a RetroN5, there's no point. The features when playing them on the Retron are better than VC. It's stopped me from buying any of these Castlevania games on VC since Dracula's Curse.

@jazo152 I may be wrong, sure. But while I've seen many first party Nintendo games inexplicably retain their value in the past in many cases, I've seen this "fail and reduce" happen time and again with other third party developed Nintendo-published games in particular. Wonderful 101 comes to mind this generation. I'm not interested enough in this game to pay full price for it, since I don't enjoy Dynasty Warriors games. Instead I have pre-orders in for Bayonetta 2 and Smash WiiU, even though Bayonetta 2 may also fail and be slashed in price as well.

I'll wait two months. After it tanks it will be everywhere for twenty dollars.

@Spartacus3765 High demand and short supply has made for some ridiculous reseller behavior. I got mine at an FYE for regular retail ($140US) and it was the only unit they had.

@Nintenjoe64 Assuming that's not a joke:

Blowing in cartridges never actually helped, it was the removing and reinserting that sometimes resolved bad connections on the NES because of the springy contacts. Contact cleaner or glass cleaner on a cotton swab is the way to clean carts without introducing saliva, which can eventually corrode the contacts.

That said, some of the cart slots on this are very very snug, so they seem more reliable than the NES. I've had to pull and reinsert a couple of carts but the system software tells you to do this before you even boot the game. So, not too bad so far.

@IxnayontheCK The system and its documentation both advise you to set your TV to "game mode" to reduce any possible input lag. The lag is your TV's doing, not the console's. I play with wired controllers (usually SNES pads) and haven't noticed any lag with that and my TV in game mode.

@bezerker99 The RetroN5 doesn't have any Internet capabilities, so yes, you need a separate device to put the update files onto the SD card.

Despite Nintendo killing PS3 and 360's sales last generation, I'm skeptical they can pull out a turnaround based on the software they had at E3. I do have hope, though, considering that by the time PS4 and Xbox One launch, there should be a number of quality titles on WiiU, and the competition will still be offering launch-quality software (which is nearly always unfinished garbage on every platform, Nintendo's included). If past generations are any indication, it will take at least another full year before either PS4 or Xbox One start offering any good games at all, at which point Nintendo's first party stuff on WiiU will be seriously impressive... we'll all be playing Smash Bros and Zelda and whatever else already.

@SetupDisk Yeah, if you bought them while they were available, you can redownload them in the future. However, under some circumstances, people who lost their consoles and called Nintendo were credited currency in the Wii Shop Channel instead of the games themselves, which meant they couldn't get the now unavailable games again.

Anyone who buys a Nintendo system for anything but Nintendo games is wasting their money. It's been that way since the launch of the N64. Even with Wii dominating last generation, few third party games sold in the millions. Still, they profit every generation (virtual boy excepted) on their own software, and that's fine by me. Every generation we get people claiming Nintendo is in trouble and they do great anyway.
