What are you buying from Nintendo for Christmas ?

a ps4

Since when does a discussion make a flamewar? I don't see anything at all about my post that's purposely inciting. >.>

I never said your post in particular. Hence why I didn't quote anyone in particular.

How is this huge off topic back and forth of "Nintendo sucks!" "Nintendo is the best!" NOT a flame war?

I don't see anything about that... I encourage you to look again. How is this any less off topic by the way? Please reconsider what off-topic is, and what a flame war is. If a little discursive debate is all that makes a flame war, then the internet would be no more than a pile of ash. Now, if you're not going to discuss the Nintendo products you might, or might not receive for Christmas, what are you doing here with that handheld fan?

Personally, I have my eye on a Wii U for myself. That, and Windwaker HD.

 

[ShadowSoldier]

As for Windwaker being the worst, Guild? You obviously haven't played Zelda II. That one was full of terrible executions, frustrating mechanics, and a deviation from the traditional formula.

This is one of the dumbest things to say in terms of Zelda 2. You can't say it strayed away from traditional Zelda when there was only ONE Zelda game before it.

And honestly, Zelda 2 isn't that bad. It's buttfucking with a sandpaper condom hard yeah, but it's still a pretty good game.

I can say that because it was so radically different than the first. It's part of the reason they went back to the other formula.

Did I say it was a bad game, or a bad Zelda title? The two are not mutually inclusive.

They didn't really go back to the original format. The original just placed players into the world. No map. No idea where to go. A Link to the Past told players where to go, Ocarina of time and forward went third person and not top down. A Link Between Worlds is more like ALttP.

Exploration is what I mean. Sure, they told you where to go, but the old format is free exploration.

 

[Jiehfeng]

Well I bought LEGO Marvel Superheroes and Arkham Origins for the Wii U and it has yet to arrive on my doorstep, so I'll call that a Christmas gift then ;P

 

[mysticwaterfall]

Probably just Mario. I already bought Zelda HD, Zelda 3ds, and Rayman.

 

[TripleSMoon]

I picked up Zelda: Spirit Tracks and Kirby Super Star Ultra (this is the third time I bought this game, lol) from GameStop. I then proceeded to buy Super Mario World (GBA), Yoshi's Island (GBA), and F-Zero: GP Legend off Amazon. All these games go with the DSLite I got my brother for Christmas.

technically it came packaged with a map and some idea of what to do actually found some pics of the original map

edit: on topic; Pokemon Y,Mario 3d World

Look at this.

I already bought myself Wind Waker HD (to be delivered by Santa) but I'm eyeing a few more depending on if I can find a good deal or not.

 

[steveroo]

A used famicom controller officially from nintendo and an adapter to use it on my ps2/ps1
http://www.raphnet-tech.com/products/snes2psx_adapter/index.php

using my adapters for the gamecube and usb/360 I now can use a snes on my computer/360/ps1/ps2/wii/gamecube with out any lag.

 

[dragonblood9999]

probably will get Pokemon Y and Shin Megami Tensei 4 for the 3ds and a 12gb ps3 to replace my broken one

 

[Foxi4]

As previously expected, I ended up getting the 3DS XL Limited Edition Zelda bundle for my girlfriend, she gave me her Cosmo Black 3DS with a Circlepad Pro in return. In terms of games, she bought me Pokemon Y and Dark Souls and I got her Beyond: Two Souls. For both of us, I bought The Walking Dead: Season 2 Episode 1. For registering the XL system I unexpectedly received a Super Mario 3D Land code which I immediately traded for a Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate code since both she and I love playing that game on Multi. Overall, a very fruitful gaming Christmas.

 

[Crisp Cookie]

I probably get mario 3d land and pokemon x
