This, Persona 5, and FFXV.

I honestly wonder what will release first, if any of them ever do.

My dad bought me an original Gameboy and Super Mario Land for my fifth birthday, which was a shock. My mom was really picky about stuff when I was younger, and hadn't played a video game until then. The rest is history (and why I always buy a Nintendo handheld).

Might buy a few things just for that pun.

But is it better than Mighty No. 9?

Trick question, we all lose either way.

If the NX is a hybrid as the rumors suggest, then Nintendo will have the opportunity for their studios to focus on a single platform, increasing the quantity and timeliness of their first party output.

They do however, still need to get third parties on board and a proper online infrastructure.

This is the way I look at it and essentially what I was going to say.

I have always had at least one iteration of their handhelds since the original Gameboy, but I haven't bought a console from them in quite sometime. I could never justify the price for a few titles, and let's be real here for a moment...... Nintendo games are always expensive regardless of where you look in most cases. If the NX is Nintendo looking to create one platform for all content, I think it's fair to say developers would show interest. The 3DS is still building a respectable library, while the WiiU has been on life support since launch. It's either develop for their handheld or their essentially dead console. By removing that option with one platform, I think that makes the decision a lot easier.

@HowlingLotus: Order up! Made it minimalistic/abstract rather than having a bunch of content--much like your original post. Rather than cram two fighters in, I thought I'd stick with Reinhardt like you said in your updated post; it's a very clean look.

I salute you!

Very nice. I like minimalistic designs!

They're making it seem like it's our fault and neither Amazon or Aksys are being helpful.

The Watches were a bonus for ordering the Collector's Edition. I understand there was a shipment issue, but they're essentially holding something we paid for hostage..... if we don't pay even more money in the form of shipping and import fees. The way they're trying to get around everything, which is scummy af, is that the Watch is listed for $500. They give you a $500 credit, but guess what... taxes and import fees on top of the $500.

Seems like it doesn't matter how many CE's you bought, you get credit for 1 Watch. Period. The original issue was that they broke in transit, and I've seem some people posting pictures that the Watch they just got is broken. Good job all around. Let's also not forget that the game released back in June and it is now September.

So yeah..... not sure if anyone else is pissed off with how the Watch situation has been handled.

Checked my e-mail today and finally got a reply from Amazon. It seems I'm not the only one getting screwed over by what happened (as the consumer, not our fault too). I bought a 3DS AND Vita Collector Edition from Amazon, but I am only being offered 1 Watch now. Oh, and I have to pay $31 in import fees and taxes if I want it..... on top of what I already paid for my games. *EDIT* Apparently I'm getting off easy with the $31 as Europeans have to pay $100+ apparently to get it. Wow.

At this point I'm ready to just call it even and give up and forget about it. Clearly Amazon and Aksys couldn't act like adults and take a small loss to fulfill our orders.

Although it isn't the best OST from the franchise as a whole, I have most of the FFTA2 OST on my iPod (minus all the small tracks they included for some reason like the Level Up chime). It's a pretty solid OST overall and is instrumental, so a random person listening would never know it's video game music too.

^^ Wouldn't everyone have copied Nintendo for VR with the Virtual Boy, then? LOL Hololens and PSVR try harder. /s

I think with Niantic's handling of Pokemon Go it is safe to say most people aren't going to touch anything similar for awhile.

The Virtual Boy is not a VR headset, it's just a 3D gaming device.

I guess you missed the /s for sarcasm. I was trying to poke fun at the "x company copies y company" fanboy circlejerk.

I still stand by the second part where I was being serious. I'm curious to see how much interest there would have been for "Monsters Go" if it was the exact same game, but without the Pokemon license. Just a bunch of random creatures you capture. There is clearly interest in AR and VR, but it isn't at the stage where the average person will get involved. AR seems more accessible as anyone with a smartphone can get involved versus a costly VR set, but neither are at the point I think where the average person would get involved unless it was a major IP behind it.
