OoT Link is really nice, Zelda too. I will buy them.
I already have the Smash Toon Link, so I dont need another one.

The Wind Waker amiibo are only available as a 2-pack so I hope you like having 2 Toon Links.

Just what the world needs. Yet another 2D platformer from Nintendo.

I say this as someone who loves 2D platformers.

These games are also 2d puzzle games wrapped in pointless 3d walking simulator to bolster a feeling of value.

Haven't they kept extending the deadline for Twilight Princess Picross as well? The number of people redeeming rewards must be extremely low.

Koei Tecmo President and CEO Yoichi Erikawa seems certain the NX will indeed be a traditional home console.

Yup, that certainly seems like a rumor debunked. My eyes rolled so far back they fell off the edge of the level Donkey Kong Country style...

I think one space where puzzle games aren't as devalued is on PC. Just this year we've had the moderate successes of The Witness, Steven's Sausage Roll and Quadrilateral Cowboy. The first two managed to raise a bit of an eye or their pricing, but overall the content and gameplay that existed justified the pricing.

Apparently, Rodea the Sky Soldier has some similarities to NiGHTS. I own it for Wii U/Wii, but I've yet to try it out. Really interested in doing so when my review load isn't so big.

I've read the Wii game is the best one of those two. Supposedly it plays a lot better with a pointer. Considered picking it up a while back, but it's still super expensive here and I've got way too many unplayed games as it is already. It's cool that with Rodea Sky Soldier, Yuji Naka is still trying variations on the 3D sonic/NiGHTS Into Dreams formula. You'd think someone would get bored with a similar way of movement after so many years but he's still trying to make it work, gotta admire that.

Don't play the Wii U/3DS versions unless you really really hate your life.

Rumors from Emily Rogers. Not facts. Just rumors. Secondhand reports. Rumors. Things she heard. Not facts. The opposite of facts. Rumours. Fleetwood Mac.

- This article about NX's detachable controllers supporting force feedback and motion controls has truth. http://letsplayvideogames.com/2016/08/report-detatchable-nx-controllers-support-motion-control-and-force-feedback/
- NX prototype had a 6.2 inch 720p multi-touch touchscreen. Unknown if final product's screen size will be larger/smaller than prototype.
- Prototype for dock station has USB ports. I heard 2 usb ports, but I don't know if this number will change in the final product.
- MCV's report about GameFreak being involved with NX has some truth to it.

It isn't as if EA and Ubisoft show nothing but the shoot-bangs, but even if they did it would be not because they aren't making other stuff, but because the audience that watches E3 cares about the shoot bangs. At some point that's just a matter of not throwing good money after bad.

Agreed to a point. Yes, a certain demographic lusts over E3 week, but it also attracts the mainstream press and what they end up writing about will have a broader reach. If Sony dedicates 90% of their presser to shooters and leaves other games to a token sizzle reel that eventually reaches a bigger audience than E3 enthusiasts. It's the Sonic cycle...

He just screams Edge Lord. Even Leo or Xander's reluctance with the avatar fades quickly and I understand Takumi's hard edge has great plot importance but it doesn't stop him from being annoying.

Elise is clearly the best character of all the royals and the one who seems more fleshed out story-wise. She has pretty good support convos with almost everyone.

**** Takumi. I think that needs to be said at least once every other reply.

Also I like EG Daily, who is Hinoka, Selkie and Peri's voice actress. That alone is reason enough for me to love Hinoka.

Yes, tell us about porting your game to a console that doesn't technically exists yet and you're still not allowed to talk about anyway.
