In other news, Japan will soon get a themed controller for Pokkén Tournament:

Pretty cool, but I'm sticking with the default design.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

I finished Star Fox: Zero.

I didn't play every level yet, but I like what I played.

Not sure it feels worth the price I paid since it does seem a little light on content, though...

They really don't use the Walker enough though.

You don't get to use the Gyrowing and Landmaster very much either. Depending on your path, you could end up never using either of those vehicles at all.

I'd rather get a fan made one off eBay if Nintendo is asking $40 for one.

I had no idea Nintendo of America owned a Baseball team. Well did own in this case.

I believe N-Stars will be a Mario Party game. Isn't Stars used for the internal name for Mario Party series? I know Mario Party 10 is "10St." so either a full blown amiibo Mario Party (Nfc reader), or a Nintendo crossover Mario Party is likely. Or both?

 

[Aetheri]

Was that ever clarified? All I remember was the (very interesting) codename and the fact that it was said to be big budget.


Yeah, it said it was 3DS exclusive. Or at the very least, it's coming out on 3DS.

Well, assuming the leak was real, anyway. But it DID call Sun and Moon's codename, so. . .

Thing is it could be a dual release much like Smash was...however if it is Smash NX, it would be redundant as hell if they did release it to the 3DS AGAIN...so it's most likely unrelated to Smash...

N-Stars is probably something else...actually do you guys think it could be that amiibo game whatever it was called Mini-Mario or something?

I'd love to have one. WW is my favorite Zelda game, and my favorite video game of all time.

....but I won't be getting this official one because it is ridiculously over-priced. lol

I think I'll wait a little more on info to fully have me take on all of this.

Also, A GIIVA DIRECT????

Oh man, what will come out of this from the master of HIGH QUALITY VIDEO GAME MUSIC RIPS?

It's just Stars for MP. This led some to speculate that some thought N stars was a Mario Party or amiibo esque party game with more then just Mario characters. Which would be pretty cool if done right.

So they decided to make Smash Tour it's own thing?

Not sure how it'll look to me if this is the case, as I don't really care about Mario Party at all, but I suppose if it's still a crossover it could be at least entertaining to watch. I guess I'll see if it's a crossover or just Mario Party 3DS with an extra gimmick, because if it's the latter then I guess that's forty more dollars I get to save for the NX.

E3 2016 isn't gonna see the launch of the premier Sun & Moon gameplay trailer, my dad says (he works at Nintendo)

However, we will still see some Pokémon!

No kidding, a Smash party game ala Mario Party would actually be cool, not the thing Smash Tour became
Actually, new topic for discussion: what minigames based off Nintendo franchises would you like to see in the theoretical Smash Party?

Just port a ton of Kirby subgames, then you easily have enough from that franchise. A dating competition in which all players compete to win the guy/girl as an FE minigame. A short session of Warioware Microgames for Wario, and a short Shmup for KI or Star Fox

 

[n8han11]

Well, Smash Party kinda already happened with Nintendo Land, but I'd be open to a traditional party game if it was like the Mario Parties of old with the classic board layout. It would be cool to see.

Metroid get's an authorisation minigame
Pokemon Stadium's minigames could translate well.

Gosh darn it's all Arlo's fault.

I just got this ad


So much irony today.

 

[powerprotoman]

ya know im kinda glad nintendo is only having zelda wiiu on the show floor...because remember mario maker would have been a huge reveal....if it didnt leak from the show floor 2 days before its reveal

And the best part of the press news is that most Zelda U leaks should be debunked now.

So no one has to worry about things like voice acting or gender swaps.

I just looked at The Completionist's review of Star Fox: Zero. Wanted to see what the bonus for unlocking all of the medals is.

Spoiler

It just allows you to use the Retro Arwing and Black Arwing without using the Fox and Falco amiibo figures.

It also gives you a special title screen, which admittedly looks cool, but still...that's super disappointing. This game really could have used some extra content and cool bonuses to give an incentive for more people to get good at the game.

Good point. We'll see about that in two months. Emily had gotten some things wrong in the past, so I'm not completely sold on her word.

Quick Question.
What makes "Torte City" Kirby: Planet Robobot?
I don't quite know what the connection is

 

[Strider_Bond00J]

Arlo's autopsy report confirmed an unusual raise in core body temperature, with the peak temperature of his blood samples nearing magma hot levels of heat.

That was pretty funny. Off to school work I go again.

Torte is a cake and . . .well

That's about it I think

In addition to torte being a cake, it was the only big-budget all-ages title released during the leak's timeframe.

This may be my least proud moment. But such things happen in the darkest timeline lol.

I don't think I ever said Zelda would be Wii U exclusive.

Sure, some are fake and always were, but it could be like Gematsu in which information changed since the leak.

Because I think it very much stands to reason that Trev's leak was factually accurate at the time it leaked.

Quick Question.

Partly because the description given by Trev matched up to the game.

But mostly because all the other more specific stuff did line up and therefore through context Torte City must've been the Kirby game. I mean afawk we aren't getting any other 3ds game this summer that fits that description.
