I think launching it on the same day as OR/AS is kind of a bad idea. I know this could be like last year where they launched 3D World and LBW on the same day. But Pokemon is a sales juggernaut, more so than Mario and Zelda. Launching it on the same day as one of the games that's supposed to improve Wii U sales just seems a bit risky to me.

i agree. however I'd be buying both day 1 if so ha

i agree with all, however i would replace 3 with powerstone

we'll glad i didn't download, now i can get a discount from work.

SM3DW and Wii sports club

Got to thinking about how much i loved wave race on 64 and gamecube, and then i thought about how well sega developed Fzero GX on gamecube, and i willing to bet that if they were willing and nintendo allowed it, the next wave race would be magnificent! 

I feel like sega has always developed racing games pretty well, so i can only hope. I say wave race because i really doubt they'll ever revisit f-zero (sega that is). If they do, hey WONDERFUL! but...being realistic, i don't see it happening.

....(daydream bubble) who could ever forget a tune like this:

I just dont think wave race has an audience anymore. Would sell horribly I think... but I could be wrong.

 I have to agree as the Extreme Sports well is all but dried up. Late 90's through mid 00's was it's peak and since less and less EX games been released and even when they try to come back don't sell to great.

Good points. What if it was an Eshop title? $20-$30

while this may be true for now, Mario kart 8 will have a big draw holiday season, coupled with smash bros. we're going to see mk8 sale well through out the year, and eventually it will be new adopters. 

Was going through some of my gift cards, planning ahead for some games, and i just realized that smash bros 3ds is only 1 week from hyrule warriors. Does anyone other than me feel like this will affect hyrule warriors in a bad way? the more i think about it, I most likely wont be spending $60 on that when i know smash bros is going to occupy pretty much all of october.

It's a very odd release schedule for nintendo. I can't think back to any time they ever released 2 1st party games a week from apart. Its not that i don't want hyrule warriors, i love hack n slash, but cmon...is SMASH bros!

Is anyone actually planning on buying Smash for 3DS? 

I am, though honestly having played the wii-u version at best buy, i know I'm not going to be blown away, but still it will be my most played game on 3ds till ruby and sapphire release in november.

If its true that Iwata is the sole reason games haven't gone mobile, then i feel he needs to remain in chair. As i said on another forum, if nintendo goes mobile, it opens the door to justify putting nintendo games on playstations and xboxs...and nintendo simply can't have that.

According to this article, $140. Sorry

ouch! almost makes u consider to just buy a new system and sync that gamepad with your current one. OR go the way of looking for a used wii-u.

Main series Pokemon should always be on portables and Gamefreak sees it like that as well as they have stated many times. You can't take a console with you anywhere and trade people you meet or battle with them that's something a portable can only do and those are the things the series was based around since the beginning. Being able to take it and interact with people while in different places. It's just never gonna happen and it's time people just accept that fact.

I keep hearing that reason, but I'm one of the few that have never taken pokemon games with me just to interact with others except once at a gamestop tournament back before online battling was even an option. the fact that all aspects of pokemon has gone online, imo debunks the belief in local interaction.

now i would like to know from everyone here, how many of you have taken your game out and met up with random people to interact? and no spot pass doesn't count

First up I think you ment streetpass. And nobody meets up with random people, there aren't any small tournaments left or anything the only moment you meet other pokémon players is when I go to Gamemania or MediaMarkt to download legendaries or something. I'm sure that when I look on FB there will be groups that meet for these things but I never actually did.

I must add that I'm not the most social person and like to enjoy my games alone. Nowadays I only use my 3Ds when I'm going somewhere and hell even that has pretty much been replaced with my iPad. Still Main Series games should never been on a home console. The games are to platonic and repetitive for that, I enjoy pokémon so much because I can play it fifteen minutes, out it away and play again after three hours. On a home console you play for hours afters hours and Pokémon doesn't fit with that. Would they want to go console like they would have change a lot to accomodate, I think that's why the spin offs went for an interesting story and hardly any pokémon to catch.

correct i did mean street pass. Well i guess that's where everyone is different. When i fire up pokemon i play for at least 15 to 30 minutes at home. And i think back to experiences like colosseum and XD, and those were awesome, spent loads of hours playing those games.

UGH! i really want this, but i feel its so pointless to buy this game a week before smash...

Hoping this makes its way to NA as well, want a bigger screen to play smash on.

i feel like i SHOULD finally upgrade, but man i really like how my launch 3ds fits in my pocket..

Pointless would be like buying Watch Dogs on Wii U, hehehehehehehehehe . 

ha well I won't be doing that either, even though a YEAR ago i was over excited for watch dogs.

It's a good look

its not official what systems it will be on, however it really can't imagine them passing up on the 3DS when it did very well the 1st time. it should at least release on all systems at the same time.

but...but the TIMELINE!?!?!?!

All I am saying is it seems the whole industry is against nintendo at this point. The most simple of games have no chance of even making Wii U.

 

did it really? like i think it sold decent but did it even hit a million

i don't think every game has to hit a million do do well, but according to Capcom i guess depending how you read it, they were pleased with the results to some degree:

Going by the 3DS market at the time we released the game, it was definitely a success and we're certainly hoping we can repeat that success with the home console version.

 

Given the large development costs we had on the 3DS version, we would have liked to have even a little more sales than we did in the end. But that doesn't mean we saw it as a failure by any means.

I've taken it places yeah. road trips will be perfect!

I really do, that and sunshine would be nice with motion controls imo.

This is all sorts of GREAT! the pricing is fair, the content is mind blowing, and the timing is perfect in november! however.....can't help but wonder in the back of my mind...is this releasing in november to strengthen mario kart 8, or to make up for a possible smash bros delay.

this IS something nintendo would do, and the timing of this coming forward, it would have been more appropriate to announce this in a september direct

I liked. that can't be a real commercial though, its to long
