Not really worried, I was just curious. They have Splatoon characters coming to Mario Kart now so they proved that crossovers aren't limited to Smash. I like the idea of C. Falcon and Samus at odds over a bounty, they have some beef at a space bar and tussle.

Still why i wonder how they could make that video with captain falcon fighting fire emblem characters... wouldn't someone with a sword make more sense? Oh they couldn't use link cause he was already in the kid icarus trailer. Well, i mean if ganondorf actually USED HIS SWORD in the game, it would been a bit okay. Also that video is like watching ninja turtles, you never get to see someone get cut or stabbed, even though they obviously do it and have weapons for it. What are these bad decisions in character developement that ganon doesn't use a sword.

My wallet is ready! /s

IAP are the best

I hope it won't have tons of IAP. Hopefully optional ones.

I'm saying around 2-3 years at the LEAST

And here I am still not finished with Awakening...

Maybe Gateway will save the day again lol and make it a year.

I hope Heroes won't have permadeath feature. Unlike console version where you can just reset and reload previous save, you won't be able to save them when your strategy fucks up.
And with Warriors, finally N3DS has another AAA exclusive.

Saaammme! Love the game though! Inspired me enough to grab the special edition n3dsxl.

Eh, I was talking about something like A9LH but who knows, flashcart for Switch

I wouldn't call it an exclusive since it also launches for the switch, but I see what you mean - it validates those who bought the n3ds.

After the Super Mario Run drama you can bet that Nintendo is going to...

You lot can thank the Apple customer complainers who said $10 is "expensive" (it's a full Mario game on the go!) but paying $1 here, $1 there and so on and so forth is cheaper which, remind you, it never ends. They'll keep on spending as much as they want.

Oh god no. A9lh like sploit won't be for 2-3 years like you said. Gateway found the firmlaunchhax though I think. And that led to cfw.

Milk the old IPs, just like ol' Nintendo

There isn't, it was noted on the direct after sauske (yuri lowenthal) losed with lon'qu that defeated enemies would return after battle finishes.

Yeah. Just look at how long it took for the Wii U. But who knows, could be some big bug

 

[keven3477]

My only concern is that 6x8 grid size is not a big enough size for me.

 

[hyprskllz]

Yeah, what i meant is, N3DS now has more selling points over O3DS.

Oh, i didn't noticed he said that. It would be a bummer if you lost units you just gacha'd (like his Lon'qu).

 

[KingVamp]

Wonder if Nintendo just plans to phase out the 3DS with New 3DS exclusives, and let the N3ds stay around a little bit longer.

What sucks about mobile games like this is that one game already takes up all your "mobile game time". If you stop for a period of time, you will be left behind with weak units and are basically forced to pay to win or pay to get something good.
