Oh, you need to update the mii plaza from within the app.

I was fruitlessly checking for 3DS system updates over and over and wondering why it wasn't unlocked yet, don't be like me.

I got through Golden Sun once, lost my cartridge, went back to try to play through it again so that I could have a save file for the sequel, and just couldn't get through it again.

Have you tried the Orochi series? It has most everyone from DW and SW and the story is batshit crazy and very silly.

I just hope we actually get another Nintendo spin off. It'd probably just be Fire Emblem Warriors but Mushroom Kingdom Warriors or Smash Warriors would be the best. Warriors.

Megaman Warriors.

... I can hope.

And the best one is...?

Generally agreed to be #3. Past that I've heard differing opinions on how the games rank up, but I like to think:

#3, for story/gameplay, and the game that wraps up what was going to be the original planned trilogy. Has one of my favorite endings in any video game.
#6, good gameplay, decent story (relatively), lots of little bells and whistles as far as battle transformations and BEAST MODE
#2, overall kinda good
#5, some people rank this one higher but the battle system just felt clunky to me and the story was kinda cliche-filled
Edit: Network Transmission gamecube spinoff game. It's okay. Nothing spectacular.
#1, The gameplay mechanics were still being felt out, missing a bunch of QoL stuff that comes later in the series
Edit: Battle Chip Challenge spinoff game. Non-canon story that's never touched on again in the rest of the series, and the card game-like gameplay isn't very deep at all (and the exact mechanics are unintuitive). Still better than #4, though.
#4... just bad. The way the game is set up you're having to play through it start to finish three times in order to get all the transformations and see all the gameplay scenes, and 80% of the game is set up in a tournament structure that gets olllld before the first playthrough is over. I could write paragraphs and paragraphs on why I hate this game.

Wait, Wild World is coming to Wii u, now? Why? That makes no sense.

The online stuff was kinda Wild World's big advancement in the series too, wasn't it? Without that there's no way to travel to anyone else's town, which closes off a pretty big set of the game's features...

The only thing I can think of is that Nintendo seems to be doing a big marketing push for Animal Crossing, what with releasing two games (happy home designer, amiibo festival) and the badge shop (which has to have a high rate of cross-pollination with New Leaf players), they're pushing out everything else Animal Crossing that they can as well. Hence, a crippled version of Wild World.

Pokemon Picross update - It costs 80 picrites to reach the next area but I only have 40. Replaying already completed stages doesn't give you picrites and I don't think there's any other way to get them except for buying more, so I guess it really is "Free to start" like they said (After the tutorial I got to play 18 puzzles + some mural puzzles though so I still think it's worth downloading if you like picross)

Huh. Really no way to get more? Any indication of daily log-in rewards or anything?

I suppose the next thing I'd want to know is how much it'd cost to just unlock all the puzzles... if it's like $5-10 to get everything then that's decent, but I have a sinking suspicion that we might be whaling out like $50...

Has there been any indication of support winding down for Splatoon yet? (splatfests, etc.) I might finally get in on that action, unless it's officially considered a bad time to jump on board.

I dunno if they're working on new maps anymore, but they're still putting out new weapon variants, just at a slower rate than before.

And no indication that splatfests won't continue. It seems like relatively little work to create the content that goes with them (A few art pieces, a few lines of text for the announcers) and the currency you win from them isn't gainable anywhere else.
