Let's put it this way. If it was a $40 standalone release with a $60 special edition that came with a 8-Bit Mario Amiibo and that art book? I'd be all for it. I'd probably even preorder it for the Amiibo alone.

But $60? $60 is pushing it. No 2D Mario game should be $60 anymore. <:\

I'm totally getting one of those Amiibo. Forgot about the art book. Maybe if the levels are NSMBU-quality?

I still don't think it's worth $60. :T

It's a $60 game!? When it was first announced I thought it'd be a $15 eShop title. Even now I can't see it at more than $40. But there are 100 levels, so it's technically a new 2D Mario...

I can see something of a Wreck-it-Ralph/Disney Infinity crossover happening. Maybe even an Epic Mickey 3 like game? What I'm most interested in is the Amazon App Store. My family uses a Kindle Fire TV, and it allows for its own controller and games that support it. Not bad games either. Valiant Hearts, KotOR, Asphalt racing, Sonic, and general Android ports. I can definitely see Kindle Fire TV and mobile as a serious third pillar. And I wouldn't mind.

Whatever they do it will rock still I can't help but wonder whatever happened to this.

Pretty sure that's promo art for a 3DS game iirc. If they're still working on that, I'm guessing it'll be the 3DS's swan song. The new game will release 2-3 years into the NX's life. Decent idea.

I just got my Wii U two weeks ago so my list of games isn't too big just yet. Here's what I've got so far:

Physical:
Captain Toad Treasure Tracker
Mario Kart 8

Digital:
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
Nintendo Land
Super Mario 3D World

Very nice. You should probably check out Pikmin 3, The Wonderful 101, The Wind Waker HD, Hyrule Warriors, and Rayman Legends. I hear Splatoon is awesome as well.

Huh. I was expecting 6am on CN or something. Anyone here know if this is worth watching?

I'm fine with this, as I use Prime and Netflix, and there's always the Internet for others. I'm just not sure how this will work. I think something like Nintendo Power's ALTTP manga could work. It's not amazing, but it still managed to keep the Zelda feel and tell an interesting story.

New games added to my wii u:
- Splatoon
- Megaman 2
- Paper Mario
- Donkey Kong 64
- Super Mario 64
- Bayonetta 2
- Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze
- New Super Mario Bros U
- ZombiU

You need to move Trine 2. It's not a retail game. >_<

I'm really curious about what this means for HW2. I've been talking with a friend about how the general sequel idea is 2D Zeldas and the WW timeline. My guess is that Legends is their 1.5 before 2. It would somewhat explain the lack of Zelda costumes in Samurai Warriors Chronicles 3...

They will just gimp it like they did Rayman Legends on other consoles. It's Ubisoft c'mon. French EA

And they'll say because of better graphics, and because it's on Xbone and PS4, it's the definitive version. It'll be hilarious if the Gamepad stuff is done with Smartglass and Vita.

What made zombiu great was the cool use of the gamepad. It won't be the same without it.

That's not what Ubi thinks.

I'll try, and then I'll just screw around, download other great levels, and stop playing the game.

I don't get this. I'm pretty sure E3 is generally seen as different company's showing games that will release in three months to three years. Zelda U wouldn't have been a disappointment. It could only be reinforcement. They could've done a regular ND for closer releases. I just...ugh.

This looks REALLY Japanese, and really awesome. Not a huge fan of this, but I definitely want to give it a shot. It seems so unique!

I still haven't gotten the first one. Well, it should be fun. Any chance for Disney Infinity or Amiibos for New 3DS?

I need those Amiibo. The box art is alright. The bottom half seems...out of place.

Other M was good, very good. Just bad VA. If you actually know deep Metroid lore you would get that. The Gameplay was solid and the story was fine. The VA was bad. It really REALLY respected the franchise tho.

Would you mind watching lancun's LP of Other M? He totally tears the game apart. Other M brought a few good things with it, but they were greatly overshadowed by the seemingly limitless screw-ups.

Does this even have samus?

 

My immediate thought. Looks like Metroid Blast and Metroid Prime Hunters had a baby. And somehow didn't turn out well. :/

I thought Star Fox Zero looked awesome. The new Metroid seems neat. Both 3DS Zelda games were alright. Already have Hyrule Warriors, and I don't care about Four Swords. But I did like Four Swords DSiWare so I'll give it a shot online. The Paper Mario and Luigi game looks good. Reggie kept hyping me up for a new 3D Mario and just kept dumping Super Mario Maker and then the rainbow ending that was "show us how awesome Mario is." They could've done that anytime. I think that was it? Only games that got me excited were Star Fox and Metroid. I was really holding out for Retro or 3D Mario. Practically E3 2012 all over again.

After this ND I'm pretty hyped for this. Looks like a great adventure-platformer somewhat like DKCR and DKCRTP but easier. I will definitely be getting atleast one of those Yoshi amiibos. The adorableness .

Maybe now is the correct time to announce this officially... the arcade cabs have been out in Japan for a couple months or so now.

I can see it being a summer release after E3 before the big releases. Starting the ND or E3 with WiiU Pokemon would be a good idea.

Would be nice FE SMT although they do have some 3DS stuff that would make sense too...

Could SMTxFE be one of the big holiday 2015 games to replace Zelda U? That'd be pretty interesting to get it with Star Fox U and the rumored Paper Mario.

Treehouse live is back. And I won't be able to watch most of it. Oh well. I'm really hoping some of the leaks are real. Wouldn't mind seeing Paper Mario and Star Fox on WiiU, and I'd like to see some 3DS releases and dates. IIRC, kinda dry now.

Virtual Reality is about replacing your reality with a virtual reality. That's what the Nintendo Virtual Boy was about. It was a portable 3D device that you out on your head and all you can see is what is in the screen. You can call it whatever you want, but it is doing basically the something.

And there are so many companies, huge companies, working on VR. FaceBook, Sony, HTC, Google. Microsoft is going with AR, which is similar but different.

I really believe FaceBook has great non game ideas. It could transform how online schools work. Virtual meetings for huge world wide companies would be completely changed too. Imagine instead of showing pictures of your vacation, you share the VR recording of your vacation.

VR is going to be the next big thing.

Hey look! It's the VR the dinosaurs used! #dinosaurVR

Bump since Books 3 and 4 are on Blu-ray and I rewatched both.
Book 3 is still immensely awesome, albeit more obviously rushed/quickly paced. Even more so than Book 1.
Book 4 I loved a lot more upon rewatch, especially since I got more out of it as I saw more StarWars/Rebels influences and I've been studying World War 2 in school recently. Kuvira was absolutely awesome. Amon will probably be my favorite villain for years to come, because he wasn't really evil and how the writers used him in Korra's character arc, but Kuvira's story sets her apart for me. I just loved it. I found myself saying, both jokingly and quite seriously, "All hail the Great Uniter!" much more than once. The series finale was much better a second time around. Avatar State aside, the series ended perfectly, kind of like Green Lantern: TAS, but with more stories that will actually be told.
On Korrasami. I thought it was forced. I was looking out for everything, even looking at it differently like the producers said to. It just felt like the writers were trying to get Korra and Asami to know each other better for future episodes. Oh, and outside of them holding hands, the whole "Look, Korrasami!" was really open ended.

Tl;dr Long post is long, but I wanted to post this like I said I would. Pretty much Korra is best TV series and one of the best stories ever told, Korrasami is very meh. Thoughts?
