I thank you for your service. I've been supported in amazing ways by your kind :)

Switch Axe, all day. All damn day. It turns my hunter into a murderer.

All hey have left for me is big boy Monster Hunter. Resident Evil: Revelaitons was good, but the series as a whole has gone so far from what made the first few superb. And that's about it. Street Fighter is a laughing stock pocket digger, and I'm tired to staring at Mega Man's metal skull in hopes that he'll spring…

I feel like nostalgia is an abused term lately. Nostalgia should be used more in meaning of a rose tinted memory. These are current items, based on a current game starting characters that have been around for a long time, and have generated very real interest from people who appreciate the games and characters.…

Scalpers are evil. Nintendo just made a good product that even they likely didn't think would sell like this.

I want them because they're beautiful, most of the characters have never had a figure before, they're based off Smash character models, and I've loved figurines as well as Nintendo games for most of my 35 years living. At that (original) price, they're well worth buying even without a gaming function. I really wish…

Nice boons! I have 19 amiibos currently, a few rare. Overpaid for a few by around 10 bucks. Got Lucario from Japan. Got lucky on the last wave of preorders, but I'm fearing for the next wave of smash ones- I won't bother for the Mario Party ones because they're just pre-existing figures on a stand. I refuse to pay…

I've lost event pokemon in the past. I like to raise my own and catch my own shinies- but this is a way for me to have a Mew and Arceus again without buying a hack device. Very nice!

I kinda tried it back in the day. I liked the characters and music, but I wasn't digging the format, mostly exploration and battle. It felt bland to me, mostly because I'm actually a fan of overworld maps and random battles. They give you different things to look at and different formats of control, and it makes the…

I tend to agree to a certain extent- I do find VI, VII and IX to flow strongly, have satisfying mechanics and story appeal much moreover the likes of the earlier and later entries as well as the middle man VIII- and that's ignoring aesthetics. For instance, I love IV's story and character, but the story and gameplay…

Best selling: the ones you can't find for under 60-100 bucks, because they were underproduced, announced to be limited, and offered to scalpers through preorders months before they ever had a chance to be hung on a store shelf for a fan. Popularity has nothing to do with it, since I can still find retail stock of most…

Because major developers now only facilitate the bland stuff that bland gamers typically buy. Whenever a hand puts ink to paper, I tune in. When the style is one of a kind instead of CG hyperrealism, I remember when media- especially games- was fun and exciting while bleeding originality from every outlet. I weep for…

I felt exactly the same way. I thought I was just misled about it for some reason, so I bought it for Vita. It made me stop playing my Vita. I'm not saying that since I don't like it the game is default bad, but I find that people who were introduced to the series around the PS1 era see the games since then as good. I…

You know what made VII great? The character designs somewhat made sense. Cloud was dressed in rough pants? Boots, and a cuirass because he was in the military. Barrett wore a tee, a torn vest and rough khakis/boots because he was a worker in a mining town before having his life ruined by the government's greed. Tifa…

Jason, I'd put my money on Walmart. They didn't do preorders, and a friend of mine in VA said his Walmart has the tags for the special edition gold Majora 3DS on shelves. On top of that, it's a 24 hr Walmart, so he's going there at midnight to get one for himself and possibly me. Toys r us is also a good bet. Both…

My biggest shame is that I recently purchased the Fantasy Life "DLC" to unlock the after-game built into the cart, with full knowledge that it was already in there. I beat the game, got every bit out of it, and wanted more.

I'm not chastising nintendo here, as I don't think rarity was on their mind when creating these. I meant more to place blame on how the greedy react in frenzy when announcements like that are made.

Not to mention, why would Nintendo ever want to support smartphones? That's like asking a steakhouse to start providing their food at McDonalds, because everybody has one in their town and it's easy for us. These are Nintendo's games, and they belong on nintendo systems. If you're gaming on a smart phone and don't…

It's a good idea, but this isn't the Wii here- a ton of these aren't getting further runs after stock runs out. The problem is that Nintendo announced that some were rare, so now EVERY amiibo is selling out, making them all rare.

Eek- it looks a bit like a button masher in the above Ifrit fight. Regardless, I'd still want to play it if it came to the west- it just looks more Crystal Chronicles than Monster Hunter.... sans the story mode. I just hope it has more strategy than it looks to.
