Double checked the direct. It definitely does say "Winter 2014"

I know it's possible, but the Direct did say Winter 2014. I'm optimistic about this one. Anyway, should kinda get back on topic... I'm also in the "English Voices > Japanese voices" group, mainly because of Reyn and the other voices are just fine. Plus some Americans can't understand some of the characters, which is always funny.

I laughed. Makes me appreciate that I can't get my WiiU online reliably where I live. The rare moments I do get my WiiU online, I spend most of my gaming making posts. Don't buy the Autumn release date one bit.

Fire Emblem X SMT is still a thing!? Seriously, how long was it since that was announced? If X comes out this year, I don't think I could cope with the stress. I'm too poor for all this awesome! Still getting Smash first though. But I'll regret any game I have to put on hold...

Why bother translating stuff if we're not gonna pay for it? Thinking about Flipnote 3D makes me feel awfully bitter...

Yeah, I could have put that clearer... Sorry. But, I disagree with Iwata. I don't think that one game can change a console's fate that dramatically anymore.

Call me pessimistic, but I get the feeling fresh and unexpected normally gets a response of poor sales these days. I'm sure most gamers are satisfied playing the same thing over and over. Were Pokemon to be introduced today, western gamers would not eat it up as much as they did back then. At least that's what I think.

Mario Kart and Smash Bros. is mentioned quite a bit. I know they said that E3 will show more new titles, but I don't think they can count on those two to be as influential as Pokemon was for the Game Boy.

This and Revelations are the only Resi Evil games I actually enjoyed. The Wii version will always be the definitive version to me. Those controls make the game so much fun to run through. Especially with a Chicago Typewriter. That and the corny dialogue makes me smile every time. ("Your right hand comes off?") I never was that much of a fan of the Mercenaries mode. I'm not quite sure why, I loved Mercenaries 3D. It's probably because of the lack of co-op.

Recoil damage? So Charizard is the new Pichu? I can't be the only one who's sick to death of Mega Charizard X, surely? It's everywhere! I'm gonna miss that "It's Super Effective!" text box...

Um... OK? From what I can see, it looks nicer than Pokemon Rumble. Somehow, it being free makes me not expect this getting out of Japan.

That cave was in a place where you had to dive underwater in order to get into. It had to get out of the cave somehow.

Maybe it knows Thunder Punch? Knocking out a Kyogre with one Thunder Punch is always funny and satisfying. I hope that thing about every legendary having at least 3 perfect IV's carries over though. Having a Groudon with perfect speed feels underwhelming in X and Y.

I suppose so. Although, considering that the lessons are not the main reason I'm buying this, perhaps the Japanese one is more accurate for me.

Hmmm... Not sure how to feel about that box art. It seems a bit too cluttered compared to the Japanese one. Although I'm downloading it, so complaining seems a bit pointless.

Nope! If there was any chance of a cut-scene featuring the legendaries, that was what they were going to show. I love how the footage is literally "Here's the bit where Groudon is awakened" and then straight after, "And here's the same thing with a less cool Pokemon"

Ah... Yeah, that would explain it. Shows how much I remember about that game, I could have sworn it was a GBA game...

I have to wonder why they chose to release the sequel first. Is there a reason for that? Anyway, Mr. Driller was pretty meh for me, I'll give it a miss.

Oh damn! This is getting localised? YES! GET IN! I wish I could say that wasn't true. But it's totally true! About 90% of the pictures I drew were Pokemon. The thing that has got me interested in this are the markers. You couldn't really do a cartoony style in Art Academy, which is why I mainly use Colours 3D. But those markers will probably pry me away from it.

Recently, I've been playing loads of Mario Golf: World Tour. Some of the challenges are just plain ridiculous and Sky Island is starting to drive me insane. Online Multiplayer is loads of fun though. Best bit about the game. I've also started playing 999. After enjoying Virtue's Last Reward, it was only natural to give this a go. Backtracking through the game is one hell of a chore though. Really kills the pacing. Glad they changed it for the sequel.

Somehow, the footage shown didn't surprise me in the slightest. I knew it was going to be nothing interesting. I'm still hyped for OmegaRuby though, despite 3rd gen being one of my least favourite games in the series.
