If they're going to re-release 4, might as well go all the way and release a collection of all the games.

I anticipate being really busy tomorrow, so I'm just going to post this today. Happy whatever you celebrate Wydra! Hope you like it!

 

P.S. My NNID is UltimateWaddleD. Add me.

I'm in public right now and don't have headphones, but I'll be sure to listen to it soon. Thank you!

 

Ok, so I'm listening to it right now, and I love it! Thank you so much!

Pretty old news lol.
Kind of caused a bit of a ruckus, because it was the cause of Project M being pulled this year. Nintendo has to pretend not to be aware the mod exists, or they have to shut it down, and they obviously can't do that anymore if they're sponsoring a tourney for the game.
Also so far the number of sign ups makes it the second biggest melee tournament in history. (Apex 2014 being the first)

Fun fact about the pretending it doesn't exist: If you mention Project M or PM on Miiverse, you get banned to discussing illegal activity.

So I'm in my web development class furiously refreshing this page and twitter trying to get news. Also, maybe I'll finally get Super Mario Galaxy 2, but I like how they skipped two systems in their Virtual Console.

Ace Combat 3DS? What even is this?

Modern Air Combat.

I know what it is, but has Ace Combat ever been on Nintendo? Were there even rumors about it? It just came out of left field and I'm surprised that it's even a thing.

So are some games exclusive to the XL version of the New Nintendo 3DS? Bill keeps saying "XL" for Xenoblade, etc

The regular isn't coming out in North America. They will work for both if you have one.

When it goes live, can someone confirm a price for Galaxy 2?

Do I want that Majora's Mask 3DS? It looks so good, but I don't need a New 3DS (still rocking the Ocarina of Time one).

I saw the last 30 min, no wii U at all... absent... We may have a glimpse of a new wii U2 in 2015 E3...

 

It was a dedicated for 3ds show?  news articles troll us if it was a dedicated for 3ds. I got an email last night about today and wii U X game @nintendo direct...

They opened with Wii U info. Mario Party, Splatoon, Xenoblade, and more were shown.

8.99 Euro for the first week, then doubles after that. Don't ask me how much that is in American moneys.

If that deal holds for America, I may jump on that. Galaxy 2 is the one big Wii game I don't have.

1 Euro is worth much more than 1 American dollar. It won't hold up. Expect at least $13-14 before doubling a week after release. Still, Prime Trilogy is often over $100 anyways and it's three games so that's good value if you ask me.

That's still less expensive than a new copy of Galaxy 2. I'm definitely going to get that now. 

Can they release a game that I don't have that  exclusive to the New 3DS so I have a reason to get the Majora's Mask one?

Does it upscale the resolution, or does it look identical to playing it through Wii Mode?

Think Nintendo missed a trick here by not making it a HD remake. Since Wii U is b/c already don't see much point.

I think the big thing they'really going for is availability. Metroid Prime Trilogy is $60 used: now you can get it for $10. They could do this with other games such as Radiant Dawn, Xenoblade, etc.

I love how the camera in the mech is zoomed out when compared to earlier trailers. Makes the world look even bigger because the mechs are put in perspective. It also allows for more objects to be on screen.

Ok in doing some research  I found a couple things I have a theory on. Granted it could be background that means nothing or something unlrelated but for the sake of argument I have a couple ideas I will post.

This thing can possibly match up with a few items from XB I will post
Could be this gate. That small door alone if a few hundred feet tall and the outer part extends past the screen aways. So that is one but there is more
maybe the big central part of the mechonis sword minus galahad fortress
could be just a massive gear from anywhere off mechonis itself.
last one I feel is a out there idea but throwing it out anyway. One of the colonies. Even colony 6 or 9 what's left turned on it's side for whatever reason
Could be a crashed city from one of the ships that did not make it in story of XCX so that's what I think are some possibilities


I should also add me and my friend have a theory and have had since E3. This game could possibly be both a sequel and prequel. Now some of this will be a little spoiler ish but not putting in tags because I don't want this post interupted. So I will put a red line below this text to let you know NOT TO READ FURTHER.

==========================================================================

You better put that in spoiler tags right now. You don't talk about the ending of an RPG willy-nilly. The red line doesn't help much.

Ace combat series been around since PS2. You fly planes and jets and fight. There was a Wii one based on a good anime and a good game called The Skycrawlers Innocent Aces. Beware tho the anime is all kinds of depressing but fantastic. Takes place during WWII

I know what Ace Combat is. The tone I was going for was one of shock that a new one was on 3DS, as I didn't associate the series with Nintendo systems because I don't follow it.

They better spec console put in the hands of sub-pars devs(A majority) , you can't start abusing the console because nothing like has come to on those consoles.

That's exactly what he's talking about. Developers don't truly take advantage of the new hardware except to make world's bigger and look better.

I am super excited for Windows 10. Like what people have said already, it's what Windows 8 should have been, and this is coming from someone who enjoys Windows 8. I will try out the new browser and if I like it, I will make it my default. Don't really care about the streaming because I don't have an Xbox One, but the fact that it works with Steam Games is cool. I am actually excited to use Cortana, and I really want to use Holograms. That thing's going to be hella expensive, but I don't care. 

Also, bring back 3D Pinball and Inkball. You've had an OS that primarily uses touch screens but you didn't bring back the game that was first on XP for Tablet?

@waddle
IE is still the least secure browser used. It functions and looks fine but the main issue with IE is security. It still has a lot of problems. Chrome is most secrure with FF not far behind. That's why IE is not looked upon with kind eyes.

You don't think Microsoft knows that? That's the reason why they are making a new browser in the first place; otherwise they would just add Cortana integration and note-taking to an update to IE. Also, Win 10 already comes with Spartan and IE. I don't really want to have 3 browsers on one computer.
Can someone put Magic the Gathering or Yugioh or any card/board game on Hololens? That would be the coolest thing ever.

No.Spartan is IE with tweaks. Just changed the name. it usesmany of the same tools and such and others from what has been revealed. If you read Paul Thurott as well. MS is marketing it with a new name and made some tweaks but all in all still IE on a basic level with a new shell and name.

You don't think that they made it more secure? If they didn't make significant improvements to it then why call it something new? Where did you find out that it uses the same tools?

If this isn't the cover I will go print out as many copies of that picture as I can and replace every official cover with that image.

This is either on the Xenoblade Engine or a brand new one, because I don't think that Nintendo has another engine that is made for large open worlds. Wind Waker is the closest thing to one that they have, but I'm pretty sure that it's not that because of the sheer size of Zelda U. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Xenoblade Chronicles is the largest game Nintendo has ever made (soon to be topped by X), and that engine is apparently unbreakable, so it's probably on that.

World design wise, it's definitely like Zelda 1 simply due to the sheer size and freedom you appear to have. That's why I think Zelda 1 is the best Zelda game (even though Wind Waker is my favorite). They give you so much freedom to do whatever you want. Want to do a sword less run? You can do that all the way until the final boss. Want to do the second dungeon last? Go for it. Before you enter the first dungeon, you can get a sword upgrade, shield upgrade, a tunic upgrade from the blue ring, the blue candle, bombs, and 3 extra unit's of health. Most games give you the default sword and shield and maybe a tool.

What I'm trying to say before I went off fanboying is that the world in the original allowed for freedom by hardly sectioning off anything to you. The only things that were mandatory was that you beat all 8 dungeons before entering Death Mountain, and that you eventually need to get a sword and a few items which could be done whenever you want. From what they've told us, what we can see, and what A Link Between Worlds has done with dungeons, we look to be getting that world again, and I'm super excited.
