No...? I still wouldn't buy it, with all that "always online" nonsense and microsoft having to install/download a game just to play it. Also, I hate team sports...

 

But then again, I've played nintendo all my life. To me nintendo is the perfect gaming company.

In fact, it's my birthday and I'm hoping to open up a 3ds XL today

It's about the strategy and speed you use to get to the items and take down the enemies. Killing the enemies gives you more pikmin which help you get to new areas faster. You can choose a lot of different paths to go on. It's really, really fun, and I think Pikmin 3 will be the best game this year.

I think they should definitely at least be 10. When there are little 7 year olds there, it kind of freaks me out to be exposed to that kind of stuff. They might become desensitized at such a young age. A parent should definitely be present before 12, or at least the first few plays to make sure it is okay.

 

I hope these parents do their research on why the games are rated M. If my kid asked for one of those M games, I'd say no way.

I had watched avatar with my sister and my sister showed me Fruit's Basket and a few miyazaki movies. I really liked it, so when my friend Aubrey introduced me to Death Note and a few other anime I eagerly watched with her. Death Note is the best anime I've ever watched

Death note actually got me into my favorite book/movie/tv genre which is psychological thrillers.

don't you mean paper mario 2? and yes I agree sunshine should be there.

You don't even have to take a picture, guys since it's a sweepstakes! Just go here www.upicuparty.com/amoe

Also, you can easily play Donkey Kong's crash course and Zelda: Battle Quest on the gamepad only.

I think it could have been better. It didn't impress me.

Paper Mario and 007

Melee

"Launch window" is too vague.

I wish Pikmin 3 were a launch game. It would be no question that THAT would be the game I would buy.

Well, just think if you hadn't played it before. A new game for 10$ is pretty good. I have never played it, so I bought it and I am really enjoying it! I just beat Frank.

Don't worry, I'm not.

Nope. I think the gamepad was a good move on nintendos part. New and unique. I was weirded out at first, but now I think it's really cool, especially since you can play some games on the gamepad itself. The gamepad will also make the casual gamers see a clear difference in gameplay.

I'm hoping when I invite some of my casual gamer friends over, they'll like the console and will ask their parents for it.

I've been playing pretty much nintendo-only my entire life, but for a few games(kingdom hearts, okami). Nintendo games always seem to outshine other 3rd party games. I also have Scribblenauts on wii u(although I kind of want to trade it in or something, as it doesn't have much replayability). 

I've been wanting to get a new "toy" because I'm tired of the current consoles.  I'm considering getting either a Vita or a Wii U.  It seems like Nintendo might be in serious trouble though because the Wii U isn't selling and they've made some serious errors with the Wii U (like the name).  It seems a lot of consumers don't even realize that the Wii U is a new system that requires new games etc.  

 

Would like to hear from people that currently have a Wii U and if you regret the purchase or not.  

not really because I know good games will come. although it isn't very fun yet.

I create my own opininion, I'm never swayed by reviews, places like IGN are so brought out there is no way that decent games get low scores and crap games like CoD get almost perfect scores without somthing going on, the only reviewer on IGN I trust is Audry Drake and her reviews for Pokemon as she is a long time fan.

I agree, Audrey Drake is the reviewer I most trust. She likes most of the games I do, too.

It doesn't matter why.

What makes people happy makes them happy.

uh..and to the person talking about wearing costumes in public, I don't think its wrong to do that. You are not bothering anyone.

And you guys wonder why I would rather live in Canada or the UK? I'm embarrassed to be an American at times.

You are being a bigot and a lot of people don't like bigots.

I agree with you rose red

yeah, it's against the rules but those rules are bad rules

we can't just accept it for as it is, those rules shouldn't have existed in the first place.

 

in contrary, who else thinks we need better health education in school? (ie. sex ed, sexuality, contraceptives)

I'm going for the posters! I need more decoration in my room.

I am an adorable fox.

Watching Chugga's Pikmin 2 Lp!

The worlds are definitely not interesting and not a step up. They are boring and the game has pretty much no story in the only 2 worlds I bothered to complete. I hated it.

I think Pikmin 3 has really nice graphics. I love the little movements of the pikmin and the little details. Also the lighting effects look great.
