I knew this game would end up being solid! Too bad the rest of the reviewers don't see that......


I'm getting the game. But I'd like to know if the jump button is only the shoulder button but not the B button?

Honestly, I think you are just fine sticking to Conquest alone unless you're are curious to see what the other paths have to offer.

Odd how the First FE game isn't here on the list....even though I still to this day haven't played it yet.....

Nintendo Gaming / Re: Professor Layton will rise again?...Yes!

My reaction to the trailer is just...bland.


When the previous entries focused so much in archaeology, why is it that now all of a sudden that its termed detective agency? I get that both are about solving mysteries but exactly what mysteries are you solving in this new series?


Also, while I haven't played Layton Brothers, isn't it odd that Layon first has a son and now he has a daughter?


I'm not a big fan of the dog talk going on there as it breaks the sense of realism that the series originally gave and the way they are approaching things is how a typical anime looks like which wasn't the case earlier.....which worries me a bit.


So far it looks like a typical Layton game but will they do better than Azran Legacy is my real concern here....

I'm sorry but I find the female question plain stupid one. Not saying anything bad about Females. Its just that in business terms, men are just more suited for this more than women. And really, does it matter just what gender a business person is so long as he/she gets the job done right?

Nintendo Gaming / Re: Let's Talk Amiibo!

« on: July 02, 2016, 04:04:15 PM »

Agreed, but do note that the wolf link unlock in BotW is one of the first 'substantial' unlocks in a 1st party game. That and Shovel Knight are the only two amiibo unlocks I would consider essential.

Considering that we still haven't seen the 99% of the game, I think that Wolf's link is just optional and its more of a "if you find things too hard" situations.


Still, I find that mentality that amiibo's are bad because of this locked content lame because they are just figures and that addition is something you can only use if you have specific games which not everyone is going to get.

Has Awakening or Kid Icarus Uprising reached the 2 million mark by now?


I mean, I know they are old titles but still....more sales means more hope for those series right?


Also, how has Planet Robobot done compared to Triple Deluxe?

Nintendo Gaming / Re: NX will have physical media!

« on: July 02, 2016, 03:43:52 PM »

True but the way Nintendo reveals that it made a lot of money through digital games only is just mindboggling that its tempting to believe that it will be digital only.

NWR Feedback / Some feedback on this site.

« on: June 27, 2016, 04:22:05 PM »

I'm gonna give some feedback on the site and if there's already a thread for that, kindly move this to there because I can't find where it is....


So for my feedback so far.


1. I find it odd that the home page is a bit cluttered so far and its not really that simple to navigate at.


2. I would like it if you can do it in such a way that you get to see all the latest news, editorials etc all at once without going to the main tabs unless if its to read older articles.


For now, these are my nitpicks.....hopefully, its not insulting by any means.


And yeah about the news.....its still around 23rd june...so news is still yet to be revealed? I know it differs from various sites and all but still....just curious.

Oh boy! I can't wait for some financial news that.....barely shows any games? 


Btw, Does this site reveal the financial reports from Nintendo or do we have to go somewhere like Nintendolife to do so?

Nintendo Gaming / Re: Let's Talk Amiibo!

« on: June 27, 2016, 04:00:10 PM »

Ok so I don't know if this is something I can talk over here but since its related to Amiibo, I guess I can so pardon me if its not appropriate for this to be expressed here.


So I want to know over here like......is there any differences between Amiibo and DLC? Like I don't see why people are complaining about locked amiibo content here seeing as how a lot of them is optional and that it doesn't hinder the overall experience.


I myself am not forced to get one and I don't feel like getting one either simply because...well, its optional and no one's forcing you to get them.


And yet, people rant about them like they are needed for the overall experience. I can understand them not getting the supplies but then again, Nintendo didn't even know that they would print so much money.....

Nintendo Gaming / Where's that Wario game for 3DS?

« on: June 27, 2016, 03:40:07 PM »

You know.....people often complain that Nintendo doesn't do obvious stuff like bringing out a new Metroid game or localizing Mother 3 and to me, while I feel people shouldn't complain too much, I can understand that to some point....


That said, where is the Wario game for the 3DS? I mean, we haven't gotten a warioware game for the 3DS for no reason whatsoever.....and this is coming to the end of the system....how on earth does Nintendo avoid something that is.....a valuable IP in itself?

Any idea how much Fates has now sold totally now that its out in Europe as well?


I'm guessing it should reach the 2 million mark by now....I mean it has to! considering how it sold so damn quickly in Japan and US alone.

Nintendo Gaming / Can Nintendo afford to make a powerful handheld?

« on: June 26, 2016, 02:10:12 PM »

Next year is the release of the NX. We don't know if its a hybrid or not but suppose it isn't and Nintendo is working on the next handheld, can they make it powerful?


I'm asking this because people seem to think that you need more power inorder to get more software and that this can benefit Nintendo to develop relationship between third parties.


While I can get the fact that they need third parties (sort of) I don't know if Nintendo needs to waste a lot of cash to make an overpowered system because the worst case scenario would end up like the Vita.


What do you guys think?

Nintendo Gaming / Re: Professor Layton will rise again?

« on: June 26, 2016, 09:58:26 AM »

Its not just the progression alone....everything else of the game is seriously disappointing and easily my least favorite game in the series.


The story is incredibly cliche in Azran Legacy. Even Miracle Mask had interesting plot twists here and there but the way its implemented here is so damn poor. Nothing in the story stands out and it just made the overall progress pointless in the end. And that there were too many plot holes that were in the game.


 But even if you ignore the story, the gameplay here is no better. There's the problem with the puzzles as majority of them are loosely based on the previous games and only very few of them stand out (unless you're not mentioning weekly puzzles which I haven't played and am not that much into)


Sure you can say the same for the previous games but there, it doesn't borrow too much.


Look, I get that the game is decent to some, but seeing as how this is the last time Layton will be the main hero here, you expect to get the best of it rather than to put up with all of this.

Nintendo Gaming / Re: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Wii U/NX) @ E3 2016

« on: June 26, 2016, 09:46:08 AM »

I'm still concerned about one thing which is how can Nintendo make Zelda games from this point on? Is it to be open ended or linear? It'll be really difficult to do new things from here on.

The big open world Zelda's will probably be the norm for home consoles.  The handhelds will get the more linear traditional 3D ones probably from Grezzo now as well as 2D ones from a small part of the main team at EAD like the last several have been.  That would make the most sense going forward.

That's assuming that the NX is home console only....but what if its both? That might be the bigger problem.


Also, considering how Xenoblade is a niche market, wouldn't that be the same for open world games as well? If that's the case, that wouldn't be so good for Zelda now would it?



Just a nitpick but EAD is now merged and formed as EPD which stands for Entertainment Planning Development. Although I won't blame you if you miss the term EAD....it just makes more sense than EPD.

I wonder how intentional it is that some of those areas look more out of Metroid than Zelda?

I don't think this looks very similar to Metroid. I mean well first off, the world is open and I don't know if Metroid has worlds this open.


I'm still concerned about one thing which is how can Nintendo make Zelda games from this point on? Is it to be open ended or linear? It'll be really difficult to do new things from here on. Otherwise, the game is amazing. This is actually the first Zelda game that's making me get the NX.

Nintendo Gaming / Re: Is 3DS Nintendo's best handheld?

« on: June 26, 2016, 12:42:54 AM »

I still value the 3DS being a great system for various reasons:


1. Its strong library of games
2. The option to buy games digitally
3. Virtual Console games


I'd say the 3DS is on par with GBA. Both systems having great games.


My main issue with the system is that it doesn't have many platform games unlike the DS and the fact that there's not much of dual screen gaming here. Everything seems to play safe and there aren't that many games that make full use of the system.


But I am satisfied with the games that I got and I'm happy with that. I'm looking forward to Planet Robobot and other more games to come.

Nintendo Gaming / Re: Paper Mario: Color Splash

« on: June 26, 2016, 12:35:38 AM »

I don't have a Wii U but looking at the game, this is definietely better than sticker star in so many ways.

I hate how repetitive Sticker Star was. There really is no reason to battle enemies around you, all you do is use specific stickers and all you get is stickers.

Now I don't know whether this is damaging the fanbase here as there's Paper Jam which has decent RPG gameplay that satisfies both the M&L and Paper fans.

The real problem is the stories here. Both games seem to lack in depth of the stories and don't seem to do much of plot twists here and are often making things too predictable. But I know Nintendo is most likely not going to address this because....well its Mario everyone and he's a simple character that doesn't do much besides saving damsels (for the most part).

Nintendo Gaming / Re: Professor Layton will rise again?

« on: June 26, 2016, 12:20:45 AM »

My guess is that the new protagonist has to be Luke....if Layton and his son aren't the main stars. Though slapping the title layton and not having anyone related to layton is a bit odd.....

I kinda lost interest in the series mainly because of how I disliked the way they made Azran Legacy. I know its only one game but that game disappointed me big time. Hopefully, this new game fixes all the issues that the former had.

You know....this game feels similar to another game called Beyond Oasis and has some references to that game.


Nothing wrong with that...just saying.

General Chat / Re: Hi

« on: June 25, 2016, 09:26:27 PM »

Thank you for your kind words.


Just a couple of questions that I have here.


1. This site is US or UK? Does this site also announce games that are on both regions or only one specific region?


2. Does this site reveal eshop downloads like Nintendolife usually does?


3. Does this talk about Nintendo stuff only and not going into other things like the genesis?


4. If possible, I'd like to know users who are big fans of Mario, Sonic, Fire Emblem, Zelda and Metroid. Of course, searching for them is part of the fun....but since I got banned, I'd like to find them so that I can forget about my buddies in that site.

I'm new here and like all of you, I'm a huge Nintendo fan and my dream is to make games exclusively for Nintendo someday.


I got banned from a forum site for reasons that I often get flaked for whatever I post there...hopefully, it doesn't end up like that over here as well.
