Hope theres a Paper Mario, Luigis Mansion 2, or Kid Icarus Demo!

Here's a compilation of ideas I posted on the Nintendo 3DS Forums.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think it would be cool if each system had exclusives pertaining to what games are on each system. For example, since The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is a console game, you could have Lord Ghirahim, Impa or Demise as an exclusive on Wii U. On Nintendo 3DS, you could have Paper Mario as an exclusive character to tie in with the upcoming Paper Mario title on 3DS.

There is a catch to this though. Since every gamer should be able to experience the game with every character, you would be able to unlock characters by connecting the two versions of the game. Here's how it would work:

1) Gamer buys Super Smash Bros. 4 on both Nintendo 3DS and Wii U.
2) Gamer unlocks all characters in both versions of the game.
3) Gamer connects SSB4(3DS) to SSB4(Wii U.)
4) Super Smash Bros. 4 on Nintendo 3DS transfers characters from the 3DS to the Wii U, expanding the Wii U roster.
5) Super Smash Bros. 4 on Wii U transfers characters from the Wii U to the 3DS, expanding the 3DS roster.
6) This would give gamers a good reason to purchase both versions of the game, furthermore increasing sales of the game and raking in more money for Nintendo.

To display this online, Nintendo could add little watermarks to the Damage Percent on the bottom of the screen next to the character's image. This would show how the character was unlocked for any confused gamers. Here is an example of this in image form:



------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GHIRAHIM



Special Move (Neutral): Spawn Red Spearheads
With the press of a button, Ghirahim snaps his fingers and a floating red spearhead appears around his head. Ghirahim can summon three of these at once. After summoning them, the player swipes in the direction they want to fling the spearheads on the touchscreen. This can work on both Nintendo 3DS and Wii U.

Special Move (Up): Teleport
Once again, with the snap of his fingers, Ghirahim vanishes in thin air. One second later, he reappears in a location determined by which way the player moves the slide pad. This move is similar to Meta Knight's Down-B move in Brawl. It can be used as both an offensive and a defensive move, as players can tap A at the right time to make Ghirahim attack upon reappearing.

Special Move (Down): Sword Plunge
Ghirahim pulls out two swords, teleports upward, reappears slightly closer toward whichever direction he was facing and then stabs the ground with the blades. This move can be charged to dealt massive damage on immobilized opponents.

Special Move (Side): Sword Dash
This move is meant to be charged, like Luigi's side move in Brawl. Upon finishing the charge, Ghirahim charges in whichever direction he is facing and attacks the first opponent he meets with his sword. Ghirahim's running distance for this move is about the length of three characters standing shoulder to shoulder.

Final Smash: True Form



Upon activating a Final Smash, Ghirahim envelopes himself in a starburst of light and reappears in his true form. In this form, Ghirahim deals a significant amount of damage and wields the enormous sword he used in his final battle. Think of Wario Man from Brawl but with a more serious tone. After twenty seconds, Ghirahim reverts to his original form.

Taunt 1: Tongue
Taunt 2: Random Phase of Ghirahim Dance (0:17 in this video: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword - Ghirahim Boss Battle 3 - YouTube)
Taunt 3: Licking his sword blade (menacingly)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Something else that Super Smash Bros. 4 will have to utilize is downloadable content. The Nintendo 3DS is scheduled to begin supporting DLC very soon, so the Wii U will definitely support it as well, and probably in greater numbers. When it comes to Smash Bros, DLC opportunities are endless, but here are a few examples:

1) New Characters
One of the best things about Super Smash Bros. is pitting characters who would most likely never meet in mainstream games against each other on the battlefield. Since Melee, fans have found making character wishlists to be one of the best parts about speculating the sequels. Well with DLC, you wouldn't be restricted to the original roster anymore if one of your preferred characters didn't make it in. Granted that not every character would make it in, but DLC could allow for third party characters such as Mega Man or Rayman to be included for a small price such as $0.99.

2) New Stages
As the game's lifespan expands, new games will come out featuring more iconic locations that would seem fitting for a Smash Bros. game. Too bad they can't be in it, right? Wrong. With DLC, stages can be downloaded to keep up to date with the current Nintendo games.

EXAMPLE) Super Smash Bros. 4 comes out in 2013. A new 3D Mario platformer comes out in late 2013 or 2014, featuring new locations that look ideal for Smash. Nintendo, being the awesome company they are, put new stages up for sale in the DLC service for a price such as $1.49. Players are ecstatic.

3) Music Packages
Not exactly essential, but it could be fun for any people who thrive to collect everything. Once you've heard every remixed track in SSB4, you could opt to download more tracks to fight with on stages both local and online. A package of ten songs could cost $.49.

EXAMPLE) A new Legend of Zelda game for Nintendo 3DS comes out with extremely memorable music, five months after the release of SSB4. Nintendo puts a package of ten songs from the game in a single package for players to use however they want.

All of these ideas have been for the Wii U though, because I think Nintendo would handle pricing in the Nintendo eShop differently. I can imagine Nintendo taking a new character like Mega Man, taking five popular songs from his games, adding a new stage based on a Mega Man locale and putting it all together in one package for anything from $6.99 to $9.99. I know that the eShop is pricey, but thats a realistic depiction of how they would probably approach it. Opinions?

*wishes 3DSs weren't region-locked*

I know right! If only the 3DS weren't region locked I'd be purchasing my games from the United States; and getting a huge bargain!

please.

I've changed the limit to 1 name change every 30 days. Would you say that's more reasonable? Keep in mind that you can always view someone's name change history from their profile - so if you see an unfamiliar name with 400 posts, check that - you just might know the person after all.

I'm not going to take away the ability to change your name entirely, as I personally believe you shouldn't be stuck with one name on a site forever. I myself have gone through 3 names before finally settling on "Feld0".

A TV that works would be a good start

WHY HELLO THERE MR. SMARTYPANTS!

1920X1080

Well I think that some FPS are some fun it is just that most of them have no meaning and their quality has just plummeted. I dont expect anything good from them now and I cant quite see them as "Heart touching". Now they are just for the thrill of shooting people.

I noticed it a long time ago. It used to be useful when I was on this site all the time; but now that I have a life, I don't care about it.

I'd have to agree with nintendo3DS. When I was a post whore, I used to look at that page ALL the time. But now that I've gone through forum rehab, I barely even look at the link.

P.S: Forum rehab is hard

The StreetPassReviewer: Swapnote/Nintendo Letterbox

I think it's very well implemented! Stationary could use a bit more country-specifics cards like an American flag border, or maybe offering different cards depending on which country you're in. Adding a photo or sound from a note shouldn't cost 10 play coin; it should've been 0-3 play coins in my opinion. I wish there was a keyboard for people who just sucks at writing. 3D is really good, though I wish there was a third layer. More colors would be nice.SpotPass and StreetPass functionality works really well. Downloading the letter does take a while if you have 15-something notes, but that's OK since unless you have 30 or more friends. Sound is awesome, though they should extend it to 10 seconds instead of 5. All of my negative points are just me being critical, as these are minor problems that won't completely ruin the experience.

Swapnote

Either everything white (like it's going to be). Or, everything black. I like black consoles, it makes them look sexy amazing and better IMO.

According to reports, Square Enix will hold a press conference at E3 2011 to announce the existence of Fantasy XV. It is also apparently being made for the Wii U and the PC in addition to the Xbox 360 and PS3. This is a rumor, but there has been talk of Final Fantasy coming to the Wii U in the past, so perhaps it's going to happen sooner than we might have expected?

It's because I want to encourage new members to introduce themselves before getting themselves into the heat of discussions. It wasn't so much a "put it under Gaming" decision as it was "put it at the top".

i was thinking, a mario kart for wii u is of course extremely necessary quite early on, and with kart 7 releasing and really perfecting mario kart, i was wondering what they could possibly add to make it even better?

then i remembered my personal favourite mario kart (tied with MK7) - mario kart double dash, the game was simply amazing and its a shame its not been brought back since gamecube, but now would be an epic time to do so on wii u, what do you guys think?
