    If you're thinking about a Wii U, I'd say go for it. With Mario Kart 8, Super Mario 3D World, Pikmin 3, Nintendo Land (if you can get some friends/family), and Wind Waker HD it has been my most played console this past year. If you take all those games, plus Hyrule Warriors, Bayonetta 2, Splatoon, Captain Toad, Mario Maker, and most of all Super Smash Bros and 2015 Zelda, you've got yourself a pretty dang good system.

    The only reason I've even turned on my Xbox One in the past few months was for a few rounds of Titanfall and Destiny although that will change when the Master Cheif Collection comes out considering 3/4 of those games are some of my favorite games of all time...

    Yeah... It's extremely enticing. I'll probably wait till Black Friday though. I've pretty much decided to get one now.

    And do you not like Halo 4? ;)

    Dig 2 would be awesome, but this looks so damn amazing. I love strategy, and I really dig the classic sci-fi approach they're taking. You get to recruit squad members at bars, Star Wars style.

    I have a ton of respect for Image & Form as a studio. They choose not to go the safer route with a sequel, and instead continue to innovate and expand the Steamworld franchise.

    Just got Super Mario 3D Land in the mail today from eBay. I have 4 games on my 3DS at the moment, and they all have Mario in the title. I'm predictable. :p

    I wouldn't say I dislike Halo 4, it's just not anywhere near my list of favorite games. I played it nonstop for a week and never really cared to play it after that. Keep in mind that I beat the campaign twice and played about 40 hours online, but that's not anywhere near how much I've played Halo 1-3 (especially 3).

    Anyone pumped for Pokémon OR/AS? I played Gen 1&2, never played 3, and then got back into during 4. 5 Kinda lost me but 6 won me back again with XY and I'm super pumped to play Ruby/Saphire for the first time.

    I gotcha. Personally I'm not much of a Halo 3 fan (well, not as much as the rest of the series). Halo 2 is my stuff though. I loved Halo 4, a lot, I just missed Marty O'Donnel and Cortana's character model was stupid.

    I probably won't, I like Emerald too much. Will pick that up if they remake Emerald. And yeah, gen 5 kinda sucked.

    I'm jealous :p

    So Mario Kart, New Super Mario Bros 2, Mario 3D Land.... What's the 4th? Mario and Luigi Dream Team?

    Halo 1 and 2 were some of my favorite games when I was little (having 3 older brothers that had semi regular LAN parties) but Halo 3 probably just came out at the right time for me. I feel nostalgia for 1 and 2 but not anywhere near as nostalgic as 3. 4 was great and all but it strayed too much from the halo formula.

    I know with HG/SS they kinda included elements from Crystal so it wouldn't surprise me if OR/AS is more like Emerald than the original Ruby/Sapphire

    That's a good point. I read somewhere that supposedly you can catch Rayquaza in them

    I can't see that 2nd analog being good for anything but slow paced games. And that article doesn't dispel that thought as the author expresses that reservation, but writes it off as games that would need that haven't been a big presence on the 3DS. Well, no kidding - it didn't have a 2nd analog before this. I doubt this tiny nub is going to change the situation.

    Stupid region lock. We should be getting it at the same time as Japan. Darn Nintendo.

    Well, he was mostly referring to shooter games. Monster Hunter isn't exactly a slow game when you're in a battle, and this nub will also work for Smash bros, which is not a slow paced game

    Having a blast with the Smash Demo, now that it's out for everyone. It's definitely a change in feel for controls, but I'm getting the hang of it. Overall, I'm really impressed and super excited for the whole thing! Of course, I bought the 3DS for this in the first place, so that's not a surprise.

    Who of the Demo 5 is everyone playing the most? I seem to be gravitating toward Mega Man, but that could be because Samus is usually my main.
