Re: Reggie on Wii U Support Going Forward

thehoppypoppy

I'm kind of sad that so many seem to be eager for the 3DS family to end. I'm not ready, that's for sure. They're great little systems, especially for kids! I know all good things must come to an end, but I hope the wind down is a slow one.

I'll keep playing online Splatoon for as long as I am able. Still need to reach level 50!

Re: Nintendo Switch Will Be Easier To Find Than The NES Classic At Launch, Says Reggie Fils-Aime

Given it's limited battery life on the go, I don't think of the Switch as a handheld replacement, I see it as more of a home console more than anything else. I also wouldn't let a kid take a $300 system on the go.

I'm glad that 3DS will still be going strong for a bit longer. I'm much more of a handheld gamer than a console or pc gamer. Some excellent looking games are coming out this year for the 3DS, and I'm excited!!!

Also, I have yet to see a Mini NES Classic in stores... :-/

Re: Poll: What Did You Think of the Nintendo Switch Presentation?

thehoppypoppy

I'm not planning on purchasing a Switch, but I found the presentation interesting. Fire Emblem Warriors was the only game that stood out to me (and it was probably one of the least covered). I don't like the idea of paid online game play, though Splatoon 2 looked lovely. I was a little disheartened by the price (still hoping for a permanent New 3DS mark down). Was never interested in BOTW, and I wasn't just amazed by the other games featured (though I know more will be coming). For now I am very content with my Wii U and 3DS.

Also (and I know it's a bit off topic), I hope another Nintendo Direct will come in a few weeks for the 3DS. Several awesome looking titles are coming this year, and I'm hoping to hear about a few more (coughs ETRIAN ODYSSEY V coughs).

Absolutely yes to a permanent price drop to the 3DS family! I've decided that I want to upgrade to a New 3DS XL, but not for $200 (or more, depending on the seller).

Ever Oasis, Pikmin, Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns, and Super Mario Superstars are the announced games that I'm looking forward to the most this year. Also hoping for Etrian Odyssey V (and as I've already said many, many times, Untold III)! Pretty please, Atlus?

Re: Feature: It's Time to Vote for Your Nintendo Life Overall Game of the Year

I voted Pocket Card Jockey and FE Fates. Haven't gotten around to Kirby Planet Robobot yet, but it is on my Christmas wishlist this year...so we'll see.

Seriously hoping we get Etrian Odyssey V and Untold III for the 3DS...sooner the better. Haven't heard anything about them lately, and I'm starting to worry a little bit. Would love to vote for them next year!

All of the Etrian Odyssey series. All. Of. It.

Fantasy Life is also one of my faves of all time! Still need to finish FE: Fates. Tales of the Abyss is also excellent. Honestly I don't think that I was really into RPGs until I got a 3DS. Now a majority of my games are RPGs!
