Sorry if I dozed off I literally woke up like 10 minutes ago, I did not want any part of this since Nintendo disappointed me after the Cranky reveal, and someone pointed out that Nintendo fans can't have any expectations and that is pretty true. I woke up all of a sudden and decided to watch it, that Direct was way better than all the other Directs combined., I mean Hyrule Warriors? Sonic getting a Yoshi's Island stage? Rosalina looking way more beautiful in Smash? That was awesome, but the best is still the January though, that blew my mind. I really really hope next month we get something better than this year's direct. See you next time and Happy Holidays.

#1 Fire Emblem Awakening

Fire Emblem Awakening is without a dough the best game of 2013 for me, Ive spent countless hours playing this game and I never got tired of it, I mean sure some may have Super Mario 3D World or Link Between Worlds as their number 1, but for me Awakening made my year for 10 straight months, I'm already at Lunatic + in chapter 7 and it is impossible to beat but I keep on continuing. I bought all the DLC and never regretted it, this game alone made me a fan of Fire Emblem, I bought Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon a couple of weeks ago and I love it.

I hope they take Fire Emblem even further. Like Fire Emblem X Tales series, Marth playable in Soul Calibur 6, stuff like that. This game is the greatest game Ive ever played and I recommend anyone who never bought a 3DS.

There's been a lot of bad Wii U news especially this week, PS4 and Xbox One are catching up to the Wii U's head start, but then I started to notice the problem here. The Wii sold more than the Wii U this year. Since the release of the console, I remember last year on IGN's Daily Fix  when the Wii U was about to release and Naomi saying "Wii U's are sold out but Nintendo says the Wii is still available this holiday season." Now this year with the Wii mini and people picking it up at Best Buy, I saw the problem.

Here's why, first, why sell the Wii if Nintendo or any other company is done with the system and no more games are coming out besides heavily gimped games. Second, why sell the Wii if the Wii U literally has everything on the Wii inside the Wii U, that is scamming a lot of people who bought a Wii this year and Ive seen it slowly growing. I go to this site called VGChartz and it keeps track of games and system sales, I can't remember the accurate number but in January of this year the Wii sold 96 Million Globally when the Wii U was sold out, till this day it sold 100.6 million units. That's 4.5 Million Wii owners that should have had a Wii U instead. I don't know if I'm accurate but those sales numbers should have been for Wii U. Month after month I hear that the 3DS and the Wii are making profit, THE WII IS MAKING PROFIT? This is why I keep saying that the Wii U commercials suck because they never mention that the Wii U is backwards compatible with Wii games. Who at Nintendo never once thought of mentioning backwards compatibility to the casuals watching TV? Till this day working at Gamestop people ask me if the PS4 is backwards compatible with Ps3 and they get boned.

Nintendo really screwed up the Wii U, and I don't think they will redeem themselves. They really need to discontinue the Wii and leave it to Amazon.com where casuals won't be fooled by finding a "new" and incredibly cheap console for their children in their local stores, yes there are casual gamers who get into videogames every month but the Wii mini is selling in my area and its not collectors buying it. I feel sorry for the daughter who is going to get a gimped Wii instead of a Wii U this Christmas. They imminently discontinued the DS when the 3DS came out and it can play DS games, they should have done the same with the Wii. The Wii U is a great console, it shouldn't be out shined by the Wii that has no more planned games.

Aw man, that's horrible. R.I.P.

Cause you know.......They bought and killed Rare besides 1 great thing and that's Killer Instinct out of the 10 years they had them, and if they get their hands on another successful Nintendo developer for the Xbox One......................Would you buy it?

................................

I finally finished watching The Wolf Children, and wow. It was not what I expected and it was so beautiful from beginning to end. A normal woman raising and taking care of her children that can turn into wolves is entertaining, this is my favorite part of the movie, the music and the animation just made me feel happy.

Awwwwwwwwww, I remember something like that happened on the Maury show years ago, except the son was not related to the woman when the results were spoken out loud.

Namco is the only company that comes to mind since they've been helping them out with Smash Bros & Wii Sports to have online.

I love fighting games, I love almost everything besides lolly school girl fighters, Killer Instinct 2013 is my absolute favorite fighting game that takes a lot of notes from previous successful fighting games and mash it into one and I am so glad that instead of re-releasing "Super Killer Instinct hyper edition" They expand the game even more with seasons, so that is a huge relief that they don't force you to buy $160 for a complete fighting game.

3rd strike is hard to master but its so much fun when you perform parrys. If you want a great 3rd strike experience then try out Dudley, he is easy and so much fun to use.

Marvel series is one of my favorites is because you can puill off so many combos with so many set ups.

............That is awesome.

Yaaaaaay Audrey Drake!

 

*Ahem* Anyways... As a non-3DS-owner, this direct really wasn't too exciting for me, but it wasn't disappointing like the last few, I guess. Hope they do a Wii U one soon...

Well in January they focused on the Wii U so they might do it in 2 months. Hopefully they'll finally give some news to Yarn Yoshi and Shin Megami X Fire Emblem.

Lets completely ignore our struggling console and focus on the one that's doing great! In all seriousness, that was a really awesome 3DS direct, but really the Wii U needs some attention, its already been a year and people still don't know about it, have Reggie or Bill tattoo themselves with Wii U logos and run around naked in Time Square or something.

They are in the same day as the next gen launch games, I'm worried about Mario & Sonic. Goodbye crossover.

They are in the same day as the next gen launch games, I'm worried about Mario & Sonic. Goodbye crossover.

http://images2.wikia..._Sweating_1.gif

Sonic Lost Worlds is the first "Next Gen" Sonic game exclusively to the Wii U and one of the 3 exclusive Sonic games for the Wii U.

Story

The story starts of with Sonic and Tails chasing after Eggman kidnapping the animal critters from the old Sonic games, Eggman drops the flicky capsule and damages Tail's plane, forcing them to land on this mysterious "Lost Hex." And drops you to the first level imminently. 
The whole plot is like other Sonic games, but with a different twist. Eggman made a machine that can suck energy from planets, leaving the world dead and cold. He also found these 6 Zetis that can take control over badniks, (....for some reason) Eggman has control over them by a mysterious shell that harms the Zeti. Sonic see's Eggman using the shell earlier in the game and kicks it off of his hands, the Zeti are no longer in Eggman's control and orders the badniks to destroy anything in their way. Sonic, Tails and Eggman have to work together in order to stop the Zeti and the planet energy stealing machine.

Gameplay

This new Sonic game is way different compared to the 3 previous sonic games, The levels in this game are mostly an oval shape worlds, there are no straight forward exploration. The look is similar to Mario Galaxy in a lot of ways, sometimes you are able to chose what way to go and it takes you to different places so it has a way to replay stages, it sometimes sitches up the formula, one stage you're exploring, the next you're in a mock speed segmant, next you can somehow defy gravity, next you're in a giant snow ball (ONCE!), next you're in a Donkey Kong Country like rail level, it adds variety but some were just not needed. The controls in this game....Are pretty mixed. you can no longer boost like in Unleashed, Colors and Generations. Instead have these parkour abilities that can either save your life, or mess you up completely. Honestly the parkour abilities need some work or a patch at least, sometimes the risky wall run can screw you over 50% of the time, But the most useful new move in this game....Is that Sonic can finally GRAB the ledges. Its so helpful and I question why they didn't add that in the first place, I had so much trouble platforming in Colors and Generations and its a relief that they added it in Lost Worlds. You have 2 jump buttons, one with a homing attack and one without using the homing attack, some enemies can't be destroyed by a homing attack so that is useful, you can also kick things to break their defense or destroy a row of enemies. Sonic has this roll ability which just makes you stop. The Spin dash finally returns, its so nostalgic using it and its just the same as the Genesis versions like tapping the A button and you'll hear it go faster and faster. There is a bounce ability similar to Sonic Adventure 2 except you only do 3 bounces until he stops but I really haven't found any use of it besides getting down quicker. The boss battles are pathetically easy, but in my opinion, it seems like a throwback to the 16 bit Sonic games, the bosses back then were really easy in the very first portion of bosses and then the Final bosses get harder. There are bonus stages similar to the classic Sonic games when you get a certain amount of red rings. Its a way to farm for more flickies to unlock more levels but its there if you're skipping on Badniks. there's a helpful brief case that people on Miiverse can send you power ups, from classic shields, rings, lives, checkpoints, Red Ring radar, invincibility stars. But there are not scattered all over the levels which was a huge waste that you only get them through people in miiverse. And finally Super Sonic returns, you have to obtain all the red rings in every world and the Chaos Emerald will appear in that world. Its fun but I don't think most of you will enjoy collecting the red rings. You can use the Wii U's internet browser if you're feeling lazy. Its very helpful for me that I can be browsing on the internet and come back to where I stopped in the game.

Multiplayer

The multiplayer in this game is (Spoiler for the rest of this review) the best part of the game, the whole split screen with gamepad gimmick is the only time I like the Wii U gamepad (Besides drawing) My friend on the big screen while I'm playing on the gamepad is a big leap from split screen. Competing against each other reminded me of Sonic Adventure 2 Battle's multiplayer, except there are no power ups but its the most fun Ive had competitive wise in a Sonic game since 12 years ago.

Cons

There are problems with the game that really let me down and its not that Sonic can't go fast, is that there are so many pits that just waste so many of your lives and will get you a game over. The color powers make a return but it really feels like they were not needed to begin with. Every color excluding 1 uses the gamepad's touchscreen or the horrible gyros. Asteroid is not fun, especially for collecting red rings that are almost impossible to get, the rhythm whisp is a waste, you just touch in a straight line while giving you rings and that's about it. The double jump is hard to get use to, I mean how hard is it to program a double jump that you can control freely in the air. The parkour can save lives, or waste lives. The way parkour works is that you hold the run button next to a wall and Sonic starts running to the wall. It had some potential but the 3DS version has the superior parkour controls from what Ive heard. You cannot use a classic controller pro for single player, you have to use the gamepad because it forces you to use it because its the main controller, which is a huge let down because Sonic Colors gave you the option to use 4 controllers, your friend can use other controllers in multiplayer while you're stuck with the gamepad.  And if Sonic's speed has been nerfed, why do you not have the ability to use Tails, Knuckles or Amy in VS races? I mean  why does Tails have to control a remote controlled vehicle, he can keep up with Sonic like in the old games and they all have spin dashes before. Heck in Sonic 3 you can play as Sonic, Tails and Knuckles in multiplayer. World 7 Zone 3 will make you rage quit, it is by far the most frustrating zone Ive ever played, please snag the checkpoint bubble, because it is nearly impossible to finish the level.

Here's a helpful hint, when you get to Zone 2 in the 2nd world, when you reach the last checkpoint that has the Zeti saying "Aw man, he's gonna make me look bad....I mean worse!" Run underneath where you're standing and you'll snag 4 one ups, crash into a wall and do it again. Trust me I wasted over 30 lives in a World 7 Zone 3 trying my best getting a red ring.

Concept
The concept and art in this game is really creative and nostalgic. The level design is so creative, its literally Genesis Sonic games meets Mario Galaxy, the music is great, the art style is great, including the cutscenes and they're very entertaining. Rodger Craig Smith and Kate Higgins return as Sonic and Tails, Mike Pollock returns as Eggman, Knuckles and Amy are there....but only for a few lines and that's about it. They hired the best voice actors to voice the Zeti. Liam O'Brien voices Zazz, Stephanie Sheh voices Zeena, Kirk Thornoton as Zik, Patrick Seitz as Zomom, Sam Riegel as Zor, and Travis Willingham as Zavok. They're acting is hilarious and they're very fitting for the Sonic Universe. The whole game is such a nostalgic trip for Sonic fans like me that loved the 90's Sonic games. All Badniks make a return from Sonic 1 to Sonic & Knuckles, the levels themselves reminded me of familiar zones from Mobius and its so good to see these familiar levels in a modern Sonic game.

Verdict
I replayed this game again and again and again and its a mixed game, some people will love it some people will hate it. And no. I am not complaining about how Sonic doesn't go fast like every other idiot main stream reviewer because it reminded me about the 16 bit Sonic games, great level design and no ranking system like the old Sonic games. I don't recommend it for Sonic fans who are obsessed with the boost feature, its a good platformer that just needs a bit more polish (Or a patch!) but I still had a lot of fun with it. If you are curious about this game go rent it at best, but for Sonic fans that loved the 90's Sonic games its a buy.

Sonic Lost Worlds gets a 7 out of 10.

Its looking so good.

So I finally watched Pokemon:The Origin, even though it was a promotional show for X and Y, I still wish it was the official anime replacing Ash. I loved the Pokemon anime back then but seeing Ash loosing and being reckless over and over and over in his 5th region by like the first gym leader is just sad to watch, He lost to the first gym leader 2 times in Sinnoh, took like 5 episodes just to win and get his first badge. They should have done what the Yu-Gi-Oh series did and that's replacing the main character with someone else with a Pikachu, then once Ash returns in a certain episode fans would be like "Oh my god its Ash! He's older and has more badass pokemon!" Just like everybody was so pshyced that Yugi returned in Yu-Gi-Oh GX the movie. Instead other characters like Misty, Brock, May and Dawn have that kind of return for like 3 or 2 episodes, then you'll miss them. Hell Red had more love in Gold and Silver when you had to face him.

Well......That boy is lucky.

Pokemon X and Pokemon Y is the 6th generation entry of Pokemon with a bucket list of improvements, new pokemon, characters, and finally jump its way into 3D on handheld.

X and Y have major improvements over the previous works that are very helpful and makes this experience more easy if you're a Pokemon veteran or new to the series. Here's the list on what they've done with this game:

You know, its funny when I see Wii U owners complain about 3rd party support, especially Miiverse,"Why isn't this game coming to the Wii U, why isn't that game coming to the Wii U?" Its because 3rd party games aren't selling at all on the Wii U and 3rd party devs are taking notice, Injustice and Splinter Cell Blacklist are the best 3rd party games that were ported to the Wii U, and they both sold miserably. (Rayman doesn't count since it sold bad on Ps3 & 360) Someone in Meticritic reviewed Injustice on Wii U said he played both versions and the Wii U version is slightly faster and more competitive. Splinter Cell Blacklist is the better version on Wii U because it has no screen tearing. If Injustice sold more on Wii U then Wii U owners would get it the same time as the PS3 & 360 versions. Blacklist had the worst selling big triple A ubisoft title, If the developers aren't making a profit then they might aswell abandon it and work on the systems that will make a profit. And I know some of you are gonna say "But the Ps3 wasn't selling and Ubisoft was with them all the way." That was different back then, since someone from Ubisoft stated games are expensive to develop for on an article I think it was the reason why Rayman Legends is multiplatform because they wanna make more money?

The only tripple A 3rd party games on Wii U left are Assassin's Creed IV, Batman Arkham Origins and Watch_Dogs, what's left? Nothing besides Mighty No. 9 and Shantae Half Genie hero but those are coming to all platforms. Its funny to me that Lego City & Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate are the only games that sold way more than Wonderful 101 and Wind Waker HD. If you want the sequels, then buy the 3rd party games, especially Watch_Dogs, you really don't want to let that go. The only ones supporting it are Ubisoft, Sega with that partnership they made, Platinum games because Nintendo greenlights their ideas, Disney with their kids games, and Warner Bros with their kids games. That is very light. "Julio doesn't know what he's talking about, Wii U is a fail/Julio Logic." I like the Wii U and I joke around about how bad the Wii U is here and there, but I don't want to act like a fanboy and pretend nothing is wrong and say Nintendo is doing a great job even though they clearly aren't with delays and 3rd party. Because these next gen games that are coming to PS4 and the Xbox One, they're not coming to the Wii U at all if they see 3rd party games still selling horribly on the Wii U. (Better hardware is needed though.)

I made this because there'sthis girl named Emily Rodgers who writes for a fan made Nintendo magazine. And even though she's a Nintendo fan and still supporting the Wii U, she's dead serious about the 3rd party situation that everybody who owns a Wii U should go buy the 3rd party games on Wii U if you want to play the sequel or DLC on that platform.

These are for the people who complain about 3rd party support on Wii U, buy the games. Go buy Assassin's Creed IV reguardless if it doesn't have the DLC, go buy Batman if you don't want tacked on Multiplayer for 50 bucks, especially go buy Watch_Dogs if you really want the sequel to come on the Wii U. You really don't want that producer of Watch_Dogs all of a sudden change his opinion about the Wii U. Sure the Installbase needs to grow but still, 3 mil units can still reach around 50k if Wii U owners were demanding multiplatform games.

I payed off both X & Y, but if you want only 1 then get Y since it has the best looking Mega Mewtwo and Charazard

Wow this is great, the Ps4 has a fighting game now. Still a bit odd that its not coming to Xbox One.
