Random comics update. I bought the Fury's Big Week trade for my dad's b-day, and Batman #42 for myself.
I was surprised by the length and price of Batman. $4.99 again, but it also felt twice as long as Kanan, so I guess I'm alright with it. I really liked how it's such a great jumping on point. I mean, my brother gets a few references since he's watched so much of the DCAU, but I can just as easily enjoy simply thinking "New villain making superpowers? Cool."
MUST KEEP READING.

So like, EAD, second-party, or Nintendo published? I immediately think of the Galaxy games. Metroid Prime, and Kid Icarus: Uprising. Not in that order.

I was really excited when I saw the announcement. Now I have more than one reason to get a New 3DS later on. Except SE thinks the west doesn't want DQ. Still waiting on DQ7 and DQ8...

And it's not on 3DS either. You know, 'cus the first game was originally on 3DS and sold the most in comparison to other platforms.$40 digitally with no physical version. When the physical PS4/XBO versions are $30 new.
Complete digital versions are $25.

Just a heads up, that copy of RotJ is the "Noooo" version. And do you use Netflix at all? I know you like physical copies, but with Netflix you can watch those movies or tv shows you'd only watch once without paying $10-$30 each. Just curious.

Three volumes of Korra graphic novels announced. Take place after Book 4 and is supposed to focus more on Korrasami. Both Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko are involved. I know the show was divisive, but I've been waiting for this announcement since Book 4 ended. And yes, I am currently going through A:TLA. I'm almost done with Book 1. Hopefully TLA and both series of graphic novels can hold me over until Geniuses, and then Threadworlds.

Xenoblade Chronicles is an exclusive. RE: Rev, MH3U, MH4U, MM3D, KH3D, Samurai Warriors Chronicles 3, Ironfall, and Moon Chronicles immediately come to mind as games that use the C-stick as the CPP. I think that's generally it.

I find it interesting how a lot of what he says is even more meaningful now. What with greater graphics and a seeming lack of originality or even much potential for it. It's a shame his life was cut short. He really seemed ahead of his time. I'd imagine if he were still around he'd be a rather unique indie. Even dabbling in other areas.

Threadworlds is a new graphic novel coming from Bryan Konietzko. You know, the guy who gave us the awesomeness that is Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra. Oh, and there's FIVE PLANETS IN A SINGLE ORBIT. God only knows what that means for the story, but it sounds REALLY cool!

I think we should all take a step back and remember that pure console sales don't determine who "won" each generation. It's the awesome games and classics. For example, SMG1/2 AND 101 million Wii sales. Not that I'm saying Wii won. I've barely scratched the surface of last gen's catalog and I'd hate to start that discussion.Wii kicked their ass in sales from start to finish. 101 million sold. MS and Sony didn't make a dime on hardware for years. Nintendo made about 100$ profit on every Wii sold. At one point there was more Wii's sold than PS360 combined. While PS360 sold well they never caught up to Wii but also lost billions.

Mainline Batman volumes, got it. I'll see if I can't pick up the first one next month. I find it funny that a year or two ago I didn't buy too many books, and now I'm trying to figure out to read all these different ones.Batman #41 is the one with Mecha Bunny Batman, right?
I need to pick that up when I get the chance, especially since Snyder's done such a good job with his previous Nu52 Batman work. If you get the chance, I reccomend reading all the Mainline Batman books from the Nu52. Court of Owls is honestly amazing.
Spiderman was basically the only consistently good thing the Ultimate Universe produced. We got Incest in the Avengers FFS
SpOck's whole character kind of makes me want a Superior Spiderman Movie, I'll be honest.
My comments on The-Man-Who-Dresses-like-a-Bat from above remain true. I've never really been a Superman guy(Though I have enjoyed several of his stuff). The new series sounds at least interesting, especially with the 3 books running one arc but different timing and such. I picked up Starfire #1 and it's decent. I enjoy the art and it's nice to see Starfire not being what she was in the Nu52

That's not good. WiiU wasn't too bad. Look at Bayonetta 2 or Zelda U. But NX needs to be ATLEAST as powerful as PS4, preferably more.

Picked up a copy of Batman #41 today. First Batman comic I've read. All my Batman generally comes from pop culture and what I've seen of the DCAU and various other TV shows. I REALLY enjoyed it! It had great length, great art, dialogue, and was a REALLY easy jumping on point. Pretty much Batman's dead, here's an energy monster, and here's a few flashbacks to set up the new Batman. I only intended on reading #41, but I'll definitely read this volume. It's so interesting!

I am bumping this thread. What with Marvel's new Star Wars series, both DC and Marvel reboots, and some user interest, this doesn't seem like a bad idea.
To kick off some discussion, I followed the Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Son of Dathomir(SoD) from Dark Horse last year. I am currently reading Marvel's Star Wars: Kanan: The Last Padawan. I plan on getting Star Wars: Lando #1 and Star Wars #7 this month and the Volume 1 TPBs for the other Marvel Star Wars series as they release. If that means anything.
Any thoughts on the DC and Marvel reboots? I'm interested in Marvel's new Avengers, Spectacular Spider-Man, and Ms. Marvel series. Of course, I'll probably just follow Avengers because of the multiple characters and my lack of money. I do however, plan on buying the Ms. Marvel Volume 1 TPB soon, given I've heard such good things.
So after my mega-post, someone needs to reply to this thread so I don't look stupid? ;D

I didn't mean for my post to sound like M&L:PiT is less of a game because it's digital. More like in regards to this thread, digital has minimal bearing on the topic. If that makes sense. IMO DS games should be played on either original hardware or 3DS. Authenticity and all that.Then why am I having so much fun playing this game?

PHYSICAL COPIES, MAN. EShop prices are pretty decent, but eBay is generally cheaper and if it's not the game is complete. GBA and DS games on WiiU are practically glorified iOS or emu ports. It's not quite right.Wii U eShop

Well, I'm now counting on a ND maybe around February 2016 to somewhat show off the 3DS successor. Kinda like the New 3DS reveal, but a bit less so. E3 2016 will swansong the 3DS and WiiU with the first NX hardware(or software if it's more of an OS) being fully revealed with a 2017 release in March, September, or November. Keeping in mind Japan gets handhelds well before the rest of the world. I think that's a decently educated guess.Nintendo started talking about NX to third parties at E3, reaction was positive

I gotta be honest, that's pretty much what I expected Galaxy 3 or Super Mario U to look like. Albeit more cartoony/stylized. When he showed off the castle, I immediately thought "Zelda!". Bayonetta 2 proves the WiiU can do this and a heck of a lot more, but I do remember that Fire and Ice Unreal demo, and I wouldn't mind seeing OoT or Prime 4 looking like that. Maybe in a few more years...

This is the kind of stuff I thought would be mentioned at E3. I was really expecting more when Reggie mentioned "transformation" at Nintendo.
