That feeling when you think oh I'll get that Kilby game for $20 but then you remember that you bought it at launch and never played it.

New NA Nintendo stuff (Pikachu N3DS XL, Selects games, MS Superstars Mar 24rd)
- Thread starter Hero of Legend
- Start date
Also, if anyone's sleeping on Kirby Triple Deluxe... I know Kirby games usually don't make much news (which is unfair because the reason they don't is they're incredibly consistent and usually great) but this one's among the best platformers of the generation. Grab a copy.
Robobot is great too. We all need more Kirby in our lives.

Yoshi looks pissed.
Still cannot fathom why they choose to place the art upside down.
Nice to have a XL with the proper SNES buttons.

Pikachu systems are always so cute.
Because it looks good while the 3DS is closed, which is the only time a player will actually look at the back of the system anyway?

Holy shit this needs to come to EU

You act like it will never get a Mario sports game.

Do we have confirmation if the Pikmin game is by Artoon or inhouse?
Nope. Could also be an external studio other than Arzest (formerly Artoon).

Ridiculous excuse.
But if you use the official charging cradle it'll be upside down, which is why n3DS plates are designed with the illustration the other way round.

NoA will ship 3 of these Pikachu XLs, people. Good luck getting one!!

Hooray they scribbled Pikachu on a 3DS
I'm more worried that the game signifies that they're cutting support for 3DS and Wii U online earlier than expected.
That might be how they do it for faceplates, but XLs seem pretty consistent in having their designs oriented for viewing from a front angle.

This is the first time we heard about the Mario amiibo cards isn't it? That's kind of a big thing, we should have gotten like an amiibo direct talking about the new figures. I'd you weren't on a gaming site you'd never know about the other Zelda ones that got revealed...
Still love my 3DS's. Glad they will still be supported for a while. Sure, 3DS is crappy technology these days, and the screens are painfully low resolution etc., but it's also a unique system that feels very different from consoles.
I will probably buy a Switch, but I do not see it as a replacement for 3DS at all. My tiny New 3DS (dual IPS) with faceplates is beautiful and easy to take along anywhere. The Switch is relatively huge, even compared to a 3DS XL, and is a console in terms of experience it offers. Much closer to Vita (albeit not as portable as Vita) than 3DS.

It looks like Atlus is continuing support for a while. "SMT Next" or whatever.
That's pretty normal for systems. PS3 never really got dirt cheap, either. Wii U is still.... lol.

Is this going to be the standard response for 3DS games being released from here on out? I keep seeing it over and over.

Yeah it's confusing. Everyone wants assurance that Nintendo won't just up and stop supporting the 3DS, and in the same breath want those 3DS exclusives only on Switch.
The Switch lineup is so starved for games it seems like putting these 3DS games out on Switch at the same time with improved visuals would be a good move.

It's still not confirmed though and I think it can come.
I feel like something is wrong with Nintendos schedule. They're releasing BotW on March 3 and then they decided to wait until April 28 to release Mario Kart 8 Deluxe?? That's such a big gap when they could've launched the Switch late March to close the gap.
I think some kind of Nintendo title is coming between March 3 and April 28 because all that's there right now are small games and indie games.

These region specific Nintendo selects almost feel designed to frustrate.
Good on America getting Mario & Luigi: Dream Team Bros at last (Europe has had it since June 2016) but why no Star Fox 64? I guess America will have Kirby: Triple Deluxe over Europe and Australia though. But maybe Star Fox still sells enough at $40 while sales were flatlined in Europe or something...I can see Kirby not selling due to a newer game being out.
Plus an amiibo direct with no news of Cloud, Corin and Bayonetta? (still can't believe Box Boy, Alm and Celica are getting figures before those)

Given how well received amiibo sections of directs are I don't think that would be great. Not to mention amiibo cards being a missed opportunity (instead of being 'counts as' figure they are just something else to collect).

People hated on cross generation games during the early PS4/Xbone days, because they felt it held them back, and yet want Switch games to be cross generation with the 3DS?
How very strange.

Man I am still super upset that I never got that Majora's Mask New 3DS XL.
Yeah, I feel I also recall some leak that said it was heading it's way to the Switch as well. I truly hope it does, as Mario sports games have always been synonymous with spring and summer for here. It's like comfort food.

That horse is the best thing to come out of Nintendo in 10 years, majestic af.
Well, with 1,2 Switch and Snipperclips or whatever is called, N will release 4 games within 2 months (considering Mario Kart in April)
Than there will be Arms in Spring,
Splatoon in summer,
FE Warriors (that seems co-developed by Intelligent System, in some form) in Autumn,
Mario Odissey in Holiday
Xenoblade 2 in Holiday
I think that the first party/second party lineup has been scheduled pretty well (if nothing will be delayed, without being substituted by something else)
I honestly don't see that, I see it doing okay this year and then into the slaughter house since this will compete with Switch
I'm going to say XB2 will be pushed to Spring for US, and we will get Pikmin 4 and Retro's game this year still to round out the back end with Mario, FE Warriors and Pokemon Stars.
I agree with you, but I think more game(s) must be coming this year, whether or not XC2 hits. I don't believe LKD's leak list has been debunked yet, and both she and Eurogamer heard Pikmin for this year. So I think that is probably coming. Then there are rumored titles for this year like Rabbids RPG which would be semi-first party and Pokémon Stars. Regardless of whether these rumors pan out, Nintendo has at every recent E3 announced one or more games to be released the same year, so I expect they will do the same here; plus, most Nintendo Directs include at least one announcement of a game to be released immediately or within six months so there's that as well. How many of these would be eShop-only games like Pushmo I'm not sure, but I expect at least one more retail first party game for this year beyond the announced list of games.
FWIW, just in case you're interested, Pikmin per LKD's leak was rumored to be a reboot or remake of the first game. I would be amazed if we saw all three of Pikmin, Retro and Pokémon this year. Maybe they will want to hit that hard in time for the holidays, though.

Everyone is often so quick to write the 3DS off as finished, and then Nintendo goes an announces more reason to buy one.
It makes sense. Switch is designed a home console that's portable, though not exactly ideal as a dedicated handheld.
They also have some RPG in the works (Oasis something? name escapes me) and Dragon Quest XI is being made for it as well.
Long live the 3D king!

That doesn't really make sense when Mario Sports is right there with online.
That Mario SuperStars cover is GOAT.
So aggregating that they are still adding Nintedo Select games and Star Fox 64 3D still isn't one if them.
Also sucks that the Pikachu 3DS XL is thr only one with SNES styled buttons. I really want the 3DS with those style buttons but that Pikachu 3DS is definitely not my style.
