What is the point of these figures? 


So they make you feel like you aren't wasting your money buying the same thing a second time because they were too incompetent to allow for more than one game data at a time in these figurines.

TalkBack / Re: Special Majora's Mask New 3DS Coming Out in February

At the very least this isn't a new thing.  They've had game specific models before that didn't come with the game and were the same price as the other models.  It's essentially no different than offering a different colour.


When the same exact version DOES come with the games in a different region, then yeah, this is a little different. It's not like they released the X/Y 3DS overseas with X/Y.

103
That's fine. What I shouldn't have to pay for is the GamePad integration of Wii titles, which is exactly what they are doing. What makes this worse is that the three they have announced for the US so far don't even use the  GamePad.

Not only that, their selection so far is basically their Virtual Console model. "Let's release one game per week for a few weeks then never talk about it again!" If they release more than 10 games this way by the end of the year I will eat my hat. The only one worth it in the US is Metroid Prime Trilogy, while the other two are still relatively easy to find on your own. We should have gotten Pandora's Tower and/or Sin and Punishment 2 like EU did.

I'm not sure which Nintendo you're familiar with that would even consider adding functionality like this for free when people would pay for it.


And if people stopped gobbling that **** up then they wouldn't do it.

Any female Robin option? I doubt it since it would need a different SKU but it'd be nice.

I'm turning into Ian Sane with less to say

I think I've made my hatred clear in my thread, so here's what I enjoyed:

New Xenoblade trailer and JP release. I'm pretty darn excited. Makes me wish Nintendo wasn't scummy as **** with lack of region free on Wii U.

New Xenoblade 3DS trailer and release date for JP and US. Doesn't look as shitty as it was when revealed, so I'm fairly excited for this. Won't be playing it however due to me refusing to buy a New 3DS.

New Fire Emblem looks hype.

That's about it.

107
I'm not sure what you're talking about with your last point, but they don't boot into Wii mode it says. Though unless they run in 1080p and have widescreen added (and honestly there is no reason for them not to), then there's no reason to buy them if you already own them.


According to those who have bought one of the games, it DOES boot into wii mode when you click the game button. Hell, when you turn off the game it actually reboots the entire console and it isn't possible to bring up the home menu like you can with Wii U titles, eshop games, and virtual console games.

108
even better those wii games for download actually just boot into wii mode. You are literally paying 10 to 20 bucks for gamepad intergration

Doesn't come with game, despite the other new major regions getting the same 3DS with the game.

This dude is "remastering" the original show by removing the hideous ghosting and interlacing from the original DVD cut. If you click that link he has plenty of comparison shots and a short video of Toph's fight against The Boulder and its crazy how much better it looks. When the 10th anniversary of the first episode of Avatar comes around (this Feb. 2st) I hope he's done by then so I can rewatch it that way.
While this is appreciated -- artefacting on official DVDs for Book 1 and 2 literally hurts my eyes, releasing it that way was a crime, i think this work is redundant.

There are TVRips and Web-rips (from iTunes and the like) of ATLA without artefacts and with video quality better than DVD.


Really? The TVRips I know are quite good, but every time I ever bought an episode from an online distributer it was even worse than the DVD copies.

The reason why I'm digging this is so I can get the best quality possible and burn them to Blu-Rays so I can make a custom ATLA remastered boxset.

I was genuinely shocked when the Dark Avatar destroyed Raava. And I'm glad that the writers didn't completely cop out to that (like they did in the previous season with Korra restoring Lin's bending and such). Even though Korra ultimately saves/frees Raava, there were still real consequences to Raava being initially destroyed. That said, I liked the finale. I think it would have worked well functionally as a finale to the entire show (had it ended there) though it works particularly well in regards to the rest of the show. It acts as a soft reboot as the entire world changes and Korra no longer has any connection to her past lives. Aang constantly looked to Roku (and Kyoshi a bit) for guidance whereas Korra no longer had that resource. I think that added to what made Book Three: Change so good. As the Avatar, she's on her own. She's functionally the new Wan (while also undoing his decision to close the spirit portals), the new first Avatar. And while Wan felt like he failed by the end of his life, Korra didn't by the end of the show. I feel like she's more content, she had made the world a better, more peaceful place. So Book Two: Spirits when viewed alone is perhaps not great though I try to look it as the first act of a three act story.


You're right, that part is one of my favorite moments of the show. I know quite a few people that didn't like that they "killed" off the previous Avatars but I think it was best for Korra's character development.

What I disliked was the very bad fight between Unavaatu and Giant!Korra. Not the mention the asspull with Jinora that even the creators have no idea what she did. Ugh.

Glad to see you joining the discussion, Azeke. Nothing much to say to what you've said besides that I largely agree with your sentiment.


Just something I wanted to share with you all is something I'm sure everyone can appreciate:

Speaking of the rewatch, I was wondering if anyone wanted to do an Avatar rewatch starting on the 21st. We can could a designated amount of episodes once and week and then discuss them.

114
I actually largely agree with the top of your list. Mind you, I enjoy them all, so its like forcing me to choose between my children.

1. Book Two: Earth
2. Book Three: Change
3. Book Three: Fire
4. Book One: Air
5. Book One: Water
6. Book Four: Balance
7. Book Two: Spirits

My guess for number #3 is a person crazy about collecting Skylander toys or Amiibo figures.


Gotcha. Technically I'm an Amiibo scalper but close enough.

116
Oh, and there's only one filler episode of Avatar: "The Great Divide". Every other episode introduces a character, a concept, furthers the character's development, or furthers the development of an idea. The episodes claimed to be "filler" in Season 3 of Avatar is actually one of the above in my list. Filler, by definition, does none of those things.

Not to nitpick, but Twilight came out before Hunger Games (books and movies). However, I have never, and will never, read or watch any of the aforementioned books or movies.


If you look, I never said it came out after. They were seprated by an and. Subject confusion, but still

She was only good at one thing, crying, which as a female comes naturally to her anyways.


what the **** man

Lightning is an advanced skill of fire because it isn't so much "fire"bending as "chi"bending. When you firebender, you are bending the chi within you. As a lightning bender, once you have total control over your emotions, you can combine the positive and negative chi around your body to create lightning. To redirect, you must direct that chi (in the form of lightning) through your body and out again. The stuff with the lightning was supported by Iroh's dialogue in the episode of Atla "Bitter Work" and I inferred my thoughts about firebending from those ideas.

Terrible? Not even close bro


To clarify, go watch a Twilight movie or any of those generic YA adapted films (Divergence etc) made to copy the Hunger Games trend and you'll see what I mean.

121
Lots of things I'd like to address and discuss with that great write-up. Glad you ultimately enjoyed the two shows. When I'm not feeling the after effects of my travel today then I'll reply to what you wrote here.
