I have a Switch and a PS4, so it was hard choosing which version I want. Decided on the Switch, can't beat the portability. Would purchase digitally, but love that Amazon Prime discount I get on physical.
I have slowed down on Amiibo collecting, but with the recent Shovel Knight and Wolf Link, they have to be some of my favorites. Can't wait to play this game and display the Amiibo proudly!
I have 3 of the original MM NES games on the Wii U already, but I will prob pick this up on 3ds, just to have them portable. Hopefully its budget priced, though.
I voted for Prof. Layton. In the "Why should they be a fighter" box, I explained that he may be a gentleman, but in the ring, he is anything but gentle with his opponents.
Downloaded MPT. I only have about 7 GB of space left on my Wii U. I was wondering, what does everybody think is the best way to take care of data issues? Should I just buy a 64 gb sd card, or get an external hard drive? I feel an sd card is nice, because its not an eye sore, but I know that there is less space on them. If a hard drive is the better choice, what is a good one to have? I have an old one that pretty much died, and im afraid of filling one up with a ton of games then it dies.
Actually using up all the points I had been saving to use after the start of the next CN year. Hopefully they put up enough for me to spend my coins on! With the new rewards plan, I would love to see a way where we can use our coins (or whatever the point system is) towards e-shop $. With CN you had to get whatever games they had up...if you didn't like the game, oh well looks like you are waiting until next month. It'd be nice to put them towards ANY game we want, or at least get a discount on it.
While this is sad, I really, REALLY hope they add a bunch more digital download games to the list before they end it. What is showing up now, I don't want. I have a bunch of coins in my account, plus a bunch i have been saving to even redeem. Guess I need to do those all soon.
Picked up MM 5,6, and 7. Was going to save my $ in my e-wallet for the future, but I figure I should jump on the sale, since they were 50% its a good savings.
So like somebody posted, $3.99 for MM7, I think $9 for 3 great games is good. I want to get pretty much a lot of (or at least a majority) the Mega Man games, so I shouldn't pass up this deal.
This is fantastic news. I transferred all my old games onto my wife and I's iPad last night and saw I had Shantae: Riskys Revenge on there. Think I will go back through and play it before I pick up the new game on the Wii U.
I feel like the only way I will ever invest in any Amiibos, is if they released a Disney Inifinity/Skylanders type game, where we actually get to explore certain worlds, and things of that nature. I don't play Smash enough to warrant a purchase really, which is a shame.
Not knocking anybody who is collecting these, but boy am I glad I am not interested. As somebody who is a completionist, this kind of crap would drive me nuts.
As a Gremlins fan, I really loved the Mogwai bit. As for I <3 Virtual Console, I think this is a great series and that you guys pro-actively release a ton of videos. The VC is one of my favorite things about the Wii/Wii U, so can't wait for you guys to post more!
@aaronsullivan Thats what I thought when I played the demo at Best Buy. "Oh this is so repetitive and boring!" However, the Zelda fanboy in me decided to pick it up anyways a few days after release. Bets choice I have made in a while. The demo was boring since it was just the first level. Once you get into the meat of the game with the scenarios getting much more difficult, unlocking cool combo's/upgrading characters, and playing through Adventure Mode...Hyrule Warriors is a must have.
I love physical copies, but I just wish we knew in advance that the digital releases were getting a physical version. I bought NES Remix as soon as it was available after the initial Nintendo Direct, and I have yet to buy NES Remix 2 (since I want to gold border every or at least most of the games). So essentially I could buy the physical release, but it just seems counter intuitive and a waste of $15 extra bucks. So ideally, in the future it would be great to hear about these physical releases a lot earlier so we can decide which we want to purchase.
Great to see we got Minish Cap. However, seeing as I have a backlog of games (especially virtual console) and still having a blast with MK8, I don't see myself picking it up for some time. Just glad I know it's on there now, so I can add it to my wishlist!
Nik-Davies, it took me around 5 minutes when I uploaded my first highlight reel to Youtube. As for the article, I watched the video Darren put up, and wow talk about a photo finish!
This is going to be an excruciating wait till May 30th. This and Smash are THE reasons I bought a Wii U. Everything I have bought till now has been filler (even if they have been quite good games). Also I pre-ordered at Target so I got a Mario Kart key chain, so everytime I go for a drive I am reminded that this beautiful gem is RIGHT around the corner. Can't wait to see a lot of you on the track. Speaking of, here is my NNID if you have not added me, so we can play: Suburban_Sensei
Cool news for Mega Man fans. I probably won't be picking this up do to not having time to play everything I want, but it's a fun series, I loved Battle Network back in the day!
Question for all who have played both the original and Maximum Velocity, if I chose just one from the VC, which should it be? I played the original alot as a kid, and was wondering if I should try something newer.
While I am a massive Star Wars fan, I don't think I would care for a Darth Maul game at this point. Kind of want to kiss the prequels goodbye and move onto the new trilogy.
I just bought Bravely Default, so I am kind of busy with that RPG for a while, but I think as soon as I beat it, I will pick up Golden Sun. I really loved that game when I was younger, and it looks like it's aged well e nough.
Ducktales: Remastered for $7.49 is a steal, I urge anybody who was on the fence about it to just pick it up if you enjoyed the original or just like good platformers. Even at $15, I never regretted downloading the game! As far as what I am downloading this week, probably nothing until SMB 3, Yoshi's Island (GBA), and NES Remix 2 over the next couple weeks. I just did the Target buy 2 get 1 free sale, got Bravely Default, Prof. Layton & the Azran Legacy, and Yoshi's New Island, so I have been showing my 3DS some love.
I don't care where we see them, i'm just glad some of my favorite GBA titles are now available. I feel like more times than not, I will just be playing them on the gamepad, since it actually looked like an oversized GBA. The titles they are launching the first month are amazing, I can think of 2-3 I know I will be buying.
I had a light interest in the game, but this review really made me decide I am going to pass. If i want a "relaxing" platformer, I will just spring for Kirby.
I love the original Yoshi's Island, and love mostly anything Nintendo. For some reason though, this game just doesn't seem as appealing. Maybe it's just been the talk of it being easier, and from the gameplay footage it does look a little more boring...I just hope after its released that my doubts are proven wrong, because I want to feel nostalgic about the original. Thats WHY I am a Nintendo fan, really.
What a good deal. For people who still haven't jumped on getting a 3DS/2DS, this is prime time, seeing as a majority of the games in this promo are decent.
That was fun to watch, it's getting me excited for Friday. This is the first time in a long time I have been eagerly awaiting a game. I am just so afraid of spoiling too many levels, so I think after this, I am done, I don't want to see ANYMORE levels!
My stand on "no 3rd party support" for the Wii U is this...I don't have the time I used to to play games, so to be honest I pretty much stick to mainly the Nintendo franchises. I do this because a) I'm a long-time fan, of course and b) I know it will be quality. I work two jobs and go to college, so at the end of the day I would rather play a good, old-fashioned Nintendo game. I understand for people with more free time and have no other ways of playing those 3rd party games (PC or other consoles) may get upset by the fact it's getting little support. For me though, I don't mind, just hope the system doesn't have a small lifespan because of it...
Glad to see the 9/10, the game deserves it. Had this for the 360, and for somebody like me (born in '87, but more of a 90's kid.) this game is ideal. It was so good that, since I don't have my 360 anymore, I had been holding out on this release because I think the graphics and gameplay really lend themselves better to a portable/smaller screen experience.
I would kill for a Zelda lego set. Even though I am an adult, I really respect those huge lego sets (they are usually $2-300), and would proudly display them in my place. I love the Star Wars ones, and if they had a detailed Zelda set around that size/price, I would still pick it up.

Re: Feature: How We'd Like to See amiibo Used in Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker

Re: Mario Kart Month: Keeping the Mario Kart 8 Race Going With DLC
@unrandomsam
It's a shame one frame means that much to you. It's still a quality game, end of story.
Re: Mario Kart Month: Keeping the Mario Kart 8 Race Going With DLC
I voted for paid DLC and New Courses. I know people cry foul over this practice, but for such a quality game, I don't think it's so bad.
Re: Nintendo Download: 15th May (North America)
