The fact that this game has still not seen a Western release on the 3DS says a lot about how Nintendo views games they consider to be competition.

Held items. EV/IV expansion. Environmental effects. Special/Physical split. Additional types. Natures. Double Battles. Forme change. Mega Evolution/Primal Reversion.

Another note on the Mario Golf World Tour thing. Though they did have Day 1 DLC, it is also true that Mario Golf retailed for $35, rather than the standard price tag of $40 for most of their 3DS games. So, for $1 more than standard retail, you get extra stuff. That seems more than reasonable to me.

Hmm. Interesting theory. Here's an alternative: the game isn't out yet.

Waiting? They came out and explained it in detail last year's E3 when they announced it as FF15. The game was originally developed in Crystal Tools, the same engine as FF13 and a number of other titles. However, due to mismanagement, the game was constantly placed on the backburner, only given the least bit attention…

Pachirisu won the Master's Division Championship. I lol'd and aww'd

And with Teraway, Media Molecule has done more with the PS4 controller as a method of interaction with a game than Nintendo has done in 2 years with any of their Wii U games and the tablet gamepad : /
