I've been trying to beat Gaiden before this comes out and I've been enjoying it. There are some maps I haven't liked, but most haven't bothered me much.
@KirbyTheVampire I wasn't able to join in the testfire myself so I don't know how everything will feel for me yet, but the map can be used to see where enemies are coming from and also for jumping to other teammates or your own base if you need to. I think it should still be fine in Splatoon 2 though, in 1 you had to look away from the TV to look at the map while you still look at the TV (though the map blocks your view when up) and can toggle the map on and off from there.
@CrazedCavalier I started playing through Gaiden earlier this year and got to the chapter shown in the video... I'm enjoying Gaiden, but that chapter was a nightmare... I don't remember, but was it only 1 movement all the time? In the video I noticed that they had 2 movement in the desert.
@Ryu_Niiyama alright, I went ahead and got it! I did thoroughly enjoy NEO and got 100% in it so I'm certain I can get lots of enjoyment out of this. DLC, new tracks and cars and the portability are all nice so I think I will enjoy it and get my money's worth from it. Kind of wish playing with friends was available from the start, but at least it's coming.
Maybe it is just with some Switch consoles, but I haven't had any issues with my Joy-Con at least 2 metres from the dock. I've also tested covering it up and putting it behind my back. The Switch does seem a bit lacking right now, but maybe that's because I don't have Zelda yet.
@KirbyTheVampire I also live in a small town, but Walmart sold out within the first 10 minutes. They are also the only place in town that sells games though and they sometimes don't even get games on launch day so I don't think there was much. Ended up going to EB Games about half an hour away and got it there.
Seemed to be fine for me at least so maybe it could vary with different consoles/controllers? I even tried covering it up and putting it behind my back.
Japan also recently got some Fire Emblem discounts, i think 30% off almost all VC games, (I think one or two GBA ones on Wii U and the SNES ones on new 3DS) ended up getting Mystery of the Emblem since it was the only one I didn't have at the time.
Got the TMS special edition so I won't be downloading, but that would certainly have sold me if I didn't have it yet. And I was waiting for a Xenoblade X discount for awhile, but ended up getting it used a couple months ago. Aside from that... I guess I'll use some Mario Run coins for the statue.
I wonder if DS VC could happen and work like playing a DS game on Wii U with both screens on the bottom. Wii U didn't get a whole lot of DS games and there are some I missed out on that I'd like to get like Apollo Justice.
Loved NEO and got 100% in it (no DLC purchased though) so I'll definitely be getting this. I think I'll just get Zelda and Snipperclips at launch, but I probably won't be waiting too long to get it.
@JaxonH I just skimmed through the treehouse footage and maybe I'm mistaken. While I feel like I saw him with more hearts, the one in the trailer had 11 and a half hearts while the one in the treehouse footage just had 3. I think it may also be because I was confused as to if using the Ganondorf amiibo had any effect on the number of hearts gained from using it.
@JaxonH one thing I'm curious about though is that the Wolf Link had over 20 hearts (I think about 30) in the footage shown at E3. (At least I'm pretty sure he had over 20)
Some of what I've heard from people's impressions of the game has sounded interesting and I'm interested in trying out the HD Rumble for myself, but I would really need a demo to try for myself. (And I don't think I'd want to drop $65 CAD on it either...)
This was actually available for awhile, but I guess more people are actually talking about it now with the Switch release eminent. Also you can change your ID anytime. (Has the ID specifically been stated to be the one used for games?)
I'll have to test some things, but does it save your score? I really enjoyed going for high scores with limited time and bubbles so this could potentially take away the challenge if it still saves your score
Edit: Okay records like coins aren't saved so I'm fine with it. Plus it could be used for practice on finding the best routes
If this comes to NA, I'd definitely at least get the Marin DLC. I hate that it is bundled with a weapon for Linkle since I don't have her, but I'd pay for it at a discount.
At or around launch, I'll at least be getting I Am Setsuna, Sonic Mania and maybe Fast Racing RMX. Depending on how much money I can spend, I may get RMX and Bomberman at least close to launch. At the very least I'll most likely be getting the games eventually. I may have to see about a couple other games as well, but I'm not completely sure. Along with Zelda and Snipperclips, March/Spring looks like it will be taking quite a bit of my money... I'll have to see how much everything will cost though. Also I need to check out Redout too when that releases.
@DekersHekers mobile game is confirmed, but other details will be given as well like Fire Emblem Warriors and maybe the Corrin amiibo release date. And perhaps a new entry to the main series.
I think that rumour about Fates coming to Switch is false since it was apparently a website error or something. (But I'd much rather prefer a new entry anyways)
Can't wait for more details on FE Warriors! I'm really hoping that other games in the series will get representation in it.
Also excited to hear about the mobile game. Waiting for Corrin amiibo release date and hopefully some surprises too.
Fire Emblem Warriors is confirmed for the holidays? I don't remember seeing a year or any date when it was announced, but could someone point me to a source?
@gatorboi352 it's how I would imagine they could do it, but there are still a couple of downsides since it will probably be a little bit slower and it looks like squid beakons maybe gone which I like to use a lot on the Wii U.
@Fearful-Octopus Monster Hunter 3U does still have online and I highly recommend it, I think I prefer it to the 3DS ones partly since I can play it on the TV.
@Browny Ah, I see. I will have to see what I think of it then when I go through it. Also the GBA sprites are also my favourite and it would be nice to see them used again. Maybe it's wishful thinking, but I'm hoping it will be used in the mobile game perhaps to use less space.
@Browny huh, I will be getting Sun later this month, but I've heard almost nothing but praise for the game so it's a bit of a surprise to hear some criticisms. I'm hoping that I do enjoy it when I go trough it though. Didn't quite get a whole lot of enjoyment from XY and ORAS. (Still have to beat OR...)
Also the wind, thunder and Fire magics were in previous FE games, but were put into anima in the GBA games. (And were changed back in PoR/RD and back to anima again)
I personally enjoyed Radiant Dawn, but it does have its flaws, especially in the story. DS games were remakes and followed them pretty close to the originals so that may be a reason why. Multiplayer in them was my favourite though and I'd love to have another game with the same multiplayer options. (FoW, objective to capture, etc.)
Awakening was decent and yeah there is a lot I dislike in Fates. (Conquest gameplay was generally pretty good at least)
Been playing through several FE games recently and I've been getting a little excited to hear about what this one will be like. I think it would be kind of nice to have an FE game that I can play pretty much anywhere with ease. Not expecting a full fledged game, but I'm hoping it will be decent.
Disappointed, but I am hoping at the very least it won't use a whole lot of data. I have a decent data plan, but that's just if I don't watch a bunch of videos on it or use other apps which use a lot of data.
Going to be expecting the same for Fire Emblem now... However I hope it will work out well in the end. And once again not use much data.
I wish DS VC games worked wirelessly with other DS systems... One of my favourite things about Shadow Dragon is the multiplayer. I think I prefer it to all other FE multiplayer modes. Fog of War and having to capture and hold an objective is pretty fun.
@ThanosReXXX with the picture, are you referring to the eternal star one or the one from the actual sign? I put both of the mm beside each other and I think the similarities can be easily seen here. http://imgur.com/r6CePuX The Hylian in Ocarina of Time/Majora's Mask (as well as Wind Waker, but that is slightly different) does have some symbols which look similar to a few Japanese characters, most likely due to it being based off the language. However some of the symbols appear to be on the sign, but I can't really make out much. Though I haven't seen a translation for this sign in particular, other ones throughout Hyrule have been translated from Hylian into Japanese.
There is a possibility that this particular sign has no meaning or perhaps does have one and isn't in Hylian, but since Hylian can be seen on pretty much any sign I am assuming it is on that one too. It is possible it was created before Ocarina of Time and was just used in that and Majora's Mask as the Hylian language.
It wasn't very clear due to it being on the N64, but if I recall correctly, that writing is actually Hylian (Specifically a sign in Ocarina of Time) I don't remember what exactly it said though, will have to bring out my game again and have a look. I believe it could at least be seen on the stone signs in Dodongo's Cavern.
@Fenrir6 I'm hoping it is just a little late. Haven't gotten anything on mine either, but I did get some on my Japanese account yesterday. (Due to timezones) However that was before the update.
