I don't really like the ones where they just spam enemies, but I've seen some very interesting yet extremely hard levels. One user who goes by "Panga" NNID is PangeaPanga, makes and plays Kaizo levels and made some in Mario Maker. (I haven't beaten any though)
I was wondering why we hadn't heard anything recently since I thought it was supposed to be out already and looked on Nintendo's website which still said "Summer 2015". Guess this explains it, don't know for sure if I'll get this, but I think it does look fairly fun.
I don't know if I want this... I love the Fire Emblem series, but I'm not much of a fan of most RPG's and I haven't played a Persona/SMT game before. Kind of wish I could give it a try at least to see if I like the gameplay.
I've been looking forward to a FSA sequel for awhile, I enjoyed Four Swords & Adventures quite a bit, even in single player. However it does sound like this game will be kind of disappointing... Hopefully it turns out to be good though. I'll most likely mainly be playing online with it.
@moomootown I see, thanks. I know that the way it worked before was that depending on the day of the week/month, there were different items on sale so I wonder if it maybe just now goes by the Wii U's calendar.
This confused me so much haha. I didn't realize you could have multiple pipes on top of each other like that. Downloaded it to figure out how everything works.
Went back and played this yesterday and while it isn't one of my favourites, it is still a pretty good game. I absolutely love the multiplayer too and I had a bunch of battles with my friend yesterday, but as far as I know it doesn't work on Wii U...
@moomootown With no online features available, does that include the online shop? I know it doesn't work anymore on the DS cartridges, but I just read somewhere that it works again on the Wii U. Could you confirm it?
@TheRavingTimes I wasn't really a fan of the sacrificing units part... And even though I do like to have all characters, FE7 is my favourite despite the fact that there are different versions of chapters where you can recruit different characters. (At least I didn't have to kill anyone though )
I still enjoyed this game, but I think it is one of my least favourites, I also wasn't much of a fan of the art style.
I recently heard about this not too long ago went on exchange to Nagoya a while ago so I knew a bit. Since I didn't know a whole lot about the shachihoko at first though, I thought they were all gold haha.
I'm not personally a fan of the smaller new 3DS despite the faceplates, but I am tempted by the Zelda new 3DS XL. My ALBW XL still works perfectly fine though so I probably won't get it.
@ThomasBW84 will you guys have the stream for some runs like Super Metroid?
Btw for those wondering, it is currently Metroid Prime: Hunters (finished now, pretty fun end since he took out Gorea just as he died) and Echos is next.
I like Miiverse and use it fairly often. There are a few things I don't like about the new update, but overall I don't think it will have much of a negative impact on me. I will wait and see though before I decide on what I think about the update.
I am actually interested in some of EA's games, but since it's been awhile I would rather get them cheaper. You could probably get them cheaper for other consoles, but it seems that EA is completely ignoring the Wii U. I can't remember there ever being any price cuts not sales on their games yet Ubisoft has them fairly often. I've bought quite a few Ubisoft games because they were on sale.
Speaking of Pokémon Centers, I went to the Nagoya one a few times while on exchange although it moved from where it used to be now (Oasis 21) and is now located in a building called Matsuzakaya. I think it is in the Sakae area if anyone goes to see it.
I've never been to their original HQ, but back in March I was visiting a friend in Osaka and I noticed their current HQ on the train home so we stopped by to take a look. May look for the old building next time I go to Kyoto.
@LasermasteA actually when I got the splatterscope I tested out the range compared to the Splat Charger and it has a slightly longer range. In the training area I aimed at the farthest target and walked backwards until it was just out of range then fired. Then I switched to the other weapon and did the same, I think the difference was about the distance between the space of the lines or half of it.
It feels so sudden, Mr. Iwata was a great president and I loved his personality. These past E3's have been very fun with the skits that he did and I loved all of the Nintendo Directs he did.
Thank you for everything Mr. Iwata!岩田さんいつもありがとうございました!(T ^ T)
I recently went back to Hunters (and I started Prime 1 on Wii U, really want a new Metroid) and it looks pretty good for a DS game. Kind of wish NST was involved in at least some way with FF.
Kind of disappointed we can't draw in comments and that there won't be an activity feed... Hope it will be better than it sounds, I guess I'll just wait and see.
I got the 2013 one last year and I enjoyed some of the games a lot. Looking forward to trying out these ones too. I'm currently most interested in the letter relay one.
@Shiryu I wasn't really sure what to think when I first saw it, but the Treehouse stream did get me interested in it. And with possible ties to Metroid Prime 4/Sylux, I really want to find out what happens.
I've been on there trying to figure out some things and was kind of surprised when I saw Alex on there. While I have seen some symbols that appear to be based off of other languages like English and Japanese (in some areas of single player, I've seen what look like Japanese stop signs), it seems like for the most part that the language is just made up.
@Kaze_Memaryu I don't really pay a lot of attention to most of the games they bring over, but I do know that Ninja Usagimaru came out in Japan over 2 years ago.
@sketchturner it could mean something else, I believe some games have said that too before. I think it said that for MH3U, but it just meant that posting pictures wasn't available so there may still be a community though.

Re: Takashi Tezuka Gives His Opinion on Hard Levels Made with Super Mario Maker

Seriously, give some of his videos a look.
I haven't made many stages, but I like to create ones that are interesting and fun to play even if they don't have much of a challenge.

Re: NOA Announces Coming Restock of Old amiibo
Took me a moment to notice how close "Jim Smatshaw" was to "Tim Latshaw" haha.
I'll get Lucario if I am able to spot him and maybe Fox as well.

This shows how the online shop would work when Nintendo Wi-if Connection was still up.

Re: Bandai Namco's Project Treasure Is Now Called Lost Reavers, Beta Test Incoming
Beta test will be available for download on September 3rd in Japan btw.
Re: Nintendo Download: 27th August (North America)
Kind of funny (and sad) that the squid sisters theme has a new 3DS with Splatoon faceplates despite it not being available in NA...
Re: Nintendo Download: 27th August (North America)
I will get the squid sisters theme and probably Runbow.
Re: Nintendo Announces Another Run of the Splatoon Testfire Demo
@TrueWiiMaster in Japan there was a new one so I'm guessing it is the same for other regions.
Re: Review: Ninja Usagimaru - The Gem of Blessings (3DS eShop)
Glad to see this game getting reviewed and that it got a good score. I got this on my Japanese 3DS awhile ago and enjoyed it quite a bit.
Re: Poll: What Do You Think of the Super Smash Bros. for Wii U Tourney Mode?
I enjoy the regular ones, but I'm not as big of a fan of the custom tourneys. And I would have liked to see offline tourneys.
One thing I'm hoping for in a future update would be something like doubles tourneys.

Re: Guide: Surviving the New Miiverse Update
Oh, my post was the one in Alex's activity feed.
I kind of like the new update, but am a little disappointed that I can't have more than one discussion open at a time.

Re: Nintendo TVii Service Ends In North America On August 11
Kind of disappointed by this. Thought that the idea of it was kind of interesting, but I never got much use from it myself.

@MasterGraveheart just checked and it appears to be the same as the regular 3K. (Burst bomb and echolocator)
Re: E-litre 3K Scope And Neo Splash-O-Matic Headed To Splatoon Tomorrow
Been waiting for the 3K scope for awhile, hoping it also has a bit extra range.

I personally recommend Ninja Usagimaru or at least trying the demo. I got the Japanese version awhile back and I love the game.
