A wolf was no less a wolf because a whim of chance caused him to run with the watch-dogs.

So I got FE:A last night and it's amazing. But one weird thing bugs me in the cutscenes

Are everyone's feet cut off or are they just clipping through the ground all the time :stare:

I think there are a bunch of people who can create trailing images. I know some who could do this as if they were just going out for a stroll.
Why are so many people bothered by that? It's an art style decision.

I have the same color XL here in NA, but that bundle is cool as gently caress. NOA, way to gently caress up yet again.

Very impressed with all the game announcements, will have to check out the video later on YouTube. Hoping the Donkey Kong Country 3DS game was announced as a new game and not a Wii remake. But I'd still buy it either way though...

June 9th is close enough to my birthday to make someone buy me Animal Crossing New Leaf. This is acceptable.

I wasn't expecting a release date for it this soon, at all, but I'm totally stoked. Now I need to save up for a 3DS sooner that I thought, though.

That's one way to get ahead in life, but nothing beats an axe to the face.
Wanted possible localization announcements for Dragon Quest VII 3DS or Bravely Default. Disappointed, but no news isn't the worse case scenario.

I excepted more Europe trolling announcing more Japanese games while NoA gives us the middle finger yet again. The FE3DS XL bundle looks nice but still comes with a digital copy over physical media. I can live without it.

9 sold well (but I'm not sure it sold well enough when you consider the marketing push NoA had for it), but the 4/5/6 remakes sold poorly.

It was included in the NA direct as well. I'm also excited for it because I ignored it on the Wii due to the waggle controls. Looking forward to the remake in 3D!

Some say she was raised by sentient birds, and that test subjects replicating her equipment were horribly broken.

All we know is she's called

New colors, a Fire Emblem XL, and Inazuma Eleven 3 as a 3DS game. Dammit NoE! :argh:

...and here I am, still waiting for the impossible Purple XL (which may get a Waluigi Emblem slapped on it [personally] if it happens). It'd also be nice if in lieu of not releasing the IE games in the US at all yt, we could get Inazuma Eleven 1/2/3 Legend of Mamoru Endou/Mark Evans and then get the Go games afterwards.

What? A guy can hope, can't he?

Oh well. At least I can easily get behind this Year of Luigi business. Oh yeah, and a release date for New Leaf.

I'm admittedly not a Fire Emblem fan, but damned if that isn't a nice design. Hell, I'd be willing to give Fire Emblem a go to get a nice Special Edition 3DSXL like that. Fingers crossed it gets an Aussie release as well.

I'm sort of disappointed that we're having another year of mostly Mario extended series related 3DS games to be honest.

Like, i'm excited for them all, and will buy pretty much all of them except Mario vs. Donkey Kong, because I loathe that series, but it's sort of annoying we're not far off entering the handhelds third year of life and we still haven't heard anything about the likes or an original Metroid, Kirby, Starfox, e.t.c.

It just feels like weird pacing for their software releases. Like we'd normally get all of this stuff in a handhelds lifetime anyways, it's just weird we're getting all of it now.

Glad to see we're finally getting Fire Emblem. By April 19th uni will have started again, but I'll take what I can get. Gonna do some major binge gaming that weekend.

The special edition 3DS XL looks great, but I'm quite happy with my regular one.

The only two things I'd want from 3DS for the rest of the year would be a new Zelda (maybe at E3?) and a 3D re-release of Kirby's Epic Yarn (if they can do it for DK they can do it for Kirby).

Otherwise this looks to be a pretty good first party haul for 2013.
