I was not expecting the first actual kind-of-gameplay of the new Zelda game to be shown off on some show that I didn't care enough about to actually watch...

Also, do my ears deceive me, or did Reggie pronounce Aonuma as Ainuma in that video?

Mario Kart 8.  It might not be the one that I spent the most time with or enjoyed the most or anything, but it is the one that has the thing I most wanted in all Mario Kart games...individual fingers on character hands.  Also of course, it is the only one that is set to get expansions, which is kind of cool.  Oh ya, and it's pretty and all that.  My only real complaints against it are that it feels unbalanced sometimes and if they can have the likes of Link and Villager, I want Samus or Robin.

I like the X in the title, it is pretty.

I was looking at the part with the character running through people's yards and suddenly had a strong desire to be able to have my own house and yard to decorate and stuff in the game.  I know that's totally unnecessary for this type of game, but it would still be fun.

I like how they call Xenoblade a basic fantasy story.  Basic by Nintendo standards usually means, "Person has been kidnapped, go save them."  I'm excited to see what they consider a deep story, especially since I've never actually played a Xeno game (I've only watched a play through of Xenoblade).

I'm imaging from what I know of Gears/Saga that it will go a lot more into the themes of religion and such. From what I know(Haven't played either game/Trilogy yet) the Xeno games prior Xenoblade were basically a philosophical guide on religion. In Comparison, Xenoblade's big themes feel like..baby content. Feel free to correct me, Ryudo, as I know nothing.

Hmm...so this could end up being one of those, "Grrr, our god says to kill everyone.  Prepare to die!", things?  It did seem like there was a group intent on destroying everyone, for reasons.  That would be too boring by itself though, so I guess there would be more to it than that.

Well, your not really a hardcore collector unless you buy one to save, one to use, and one to show off, right?  

But anyways, I can't be bothered to care about proper collecting.  Even if I get one of those super amazing double arm cannon Samus amiibo, I'll probably just rip the box open and shove it on my shelf.

Edit:  Or I will make a video of myself slowly mangling the box and drawing on the amiibo and post it on youtube to torture people.

On virtual console you can, but that is about it as far as I'm aware.  I've always found it strange that some people don't like the (A)ccept/(B)ack system.

The reviews are really only there so that I can bask in the essence of the game that I have already bought, downloaded, and just have to wait until tomorrow night to play.

This video did not feature Robin, aka the character I wanted since before Fire Emblem: Awakening existed, and therefore, it is bland.

Voice chat only works when playing with people on your friends list.  I believe you press the minus (-) button to turn voice chat on and off, but I haven't used it, so I can't say for sure.

When I loaded the game for the first time last night, it said I need an SD card to save screenshots.  I'm pretty sure it only does that because there is no photo viewer app native to the Wii U. 

Edit:  I just loaded the game for the second time, with no SD card either time, and the save data from before was saved.

It almost felt like I was watching something from Mario Galaxy.  The single player looks like it could be some combination of platforming and shooting.  That combined with the multiplayer seems like it could be a very entertaining game.

I remember back when I use to always see the game in the discount bin at Walmart.  I was always disappointed that I couldn't play it (because I didn't have a system for it).  This was at a time when I was in love with the Sonic Adventure games and disappointing with the likes of Sonic umm...whatever the Arabian Nights one was.  Later I saw some gameplay and stuff on youtube.  Obviously, we all know that the game had issues, but the overall direction of the gameplay seems to be closer to what I was hoping for in Sonic games than the likes of the Storybook games and the more recent games.

Oh goodness, I didn't even notice that there was Ubisoft in the developer nominations.  Of course it is specifically Ubisoft Montreal.  I don't know specifically what they worked on.

After last year's disaster, yeah....

Now I'm going to have to look up what happened last year...

As for the games, Bayonetta 2 was the only thing I knew would be there.  After the reviews it got, it just kind of had to be.

I had totally forgotten that Bravely Default came out this year.  I really liked the game, but I think the repetitive story could hold it back from winning anything.

Mountain?  Unless there is more to that game than the little bit I've seen of it (totally possible), it seems like they had to scrape the bottom of the barrel there.

Almost finished downloading.  It will probably bug me a little bit that the game is on my system but I'm not allowed to play it.

I'm rather surprised that this game is still coming.  I hope we get to see more of it.

Just thought I would point out that PC isn't immune to this either.  That same group was "attacking" ncsoft too.  Of course, the only problem that caused was I got kicked out of Aion for a few minutes a couple times.  When it is just a DDoS, I kind just go, "Oh, haha, that's cute".  It's not like people's credit card information are getting stolen.

This is probably a nice idea.  Of course, I would have liked it if they also made some slightly more expensive/higher quality figures too.

*Looks at Marth's sword*

*shudders*

I'm going to hope for some information on the Fire Emblem crossover and of course Xenoblade X.  Of course, I don't actually think they will be there, I just hope they will be.  If there is anything Xenoblade related, it will probably be about the New 3DS port.  I do think Splatoon will be there though, and it should be interesting to see more of that.

All these people are saying congratulations...

I'm pretty sure the correct response is, "I pity your fate!", and then we all cause more problems.  

I seriously thought that this was the Super Nintendo Mario Kart.  It bugged me so much because I'm certain that came out months ago.

Also, I have this from the Ambassador program.  I don't care about it on the 3DS so I'm not going to care about it on the Wii U.

The box art is all bright and colourful and cute.  Also, I like that it's "Super Rainbow" in Japanese and "Rainbow Curse" in North America.  Even the game titles have to be edgier here, I guess.

This is fun.  I'm happy I started paying more attention to this forum again.  

At least I think I am...
