So I picked up Bayonetta because this thread wouldn't shut up about it. I never touched the game before other than knowing it exists and that you murder stuff.

I only played for 45 minutes doing the intro chapter of the first game, but I can't get it out of my head that Bayonetta looks like a Librarian. Therefore, I am retconning the plot of this game, the story is now about Bayonetta battling angels in an attempt to retrieve an overdue book.

She really wants that book back.

You're not the only one, it seems.

Wonder Bayonetta's day job in Wonderful 101 is stated to be librarian because I guess Kamiya thought it was funny that tons of people thought she looked like one.

I wonder if Nintendo will allow third parties to use Amiibos any way they want. The irony of using a Mega Man Amiibo in Mighty No. 9 would be hilarious.

It feels more like Mass Effect/Western RPG music than traditional JRPG music, I like that.

I was a little upset when I found out the person/people who did the Xenoblade soundtrack weren't doing the next one, but this sounds pretty good. I'm not one to get too hung up on video game soundtracks, but there were so many good songs on Xenoblade Chronicles.

MY DOODOO IS SPRAYING OUT
Really hope there is as much melodic stuff in Xenoblade Chronicles X as there was in the first. Really getting tired of the generic strings that you forget in about five seconds that they like to put in games now. Every game trying to be "epic" has the exact same boring rear end string soundtrack. Doesn't sound like anything. It's just there.

On the moon... they don't make Neo Kobe Pizza.

I think it's because it's just so much easier to make the "epic" soundtrack now. I remember reading some article awhile back that a ton of Hollywood films have orchestral scores because with modern technology they've completely recorded all these arrangements and such so that people can just whip them up on a computer.

I don't know if anyone still remembers or cares about Rodea the Sky Soldier, the flight/action game by Prope that was announced for Wii and never mentioned again, but the publisher Kadokawa has finally started talking about it - it's a Wii U/3DS game now, and it's set for a JP release in spring 2015.

Oh wow. I thought that it had become vaporware for sure. Thanks for the heads-up! Not sure if it'll ever get localized, but it's cool that it's actually getting released somewhere.

That's good to know.
I ordered Mario, Fox, and Villager from Amazon Japan, but they're certainly not cheap at 12 bucks a throw and now there's a lineup of 29 announced figures far before release?
If I can get more cheaper here on deals, etc., that'd work for me.
Still, I think I'd rather buy ten games than all the figures.

She'd most likely appear alongside a Wii U Animal Crossing game, which likely won't be released for a very long time since the AC development team is working on Splatoon.

Finally, a Shulk amiibo :shepspends:.

I'm confused. Why is Shulk's amiibo wearing so much clothing?

I'm definitely going to be having a problem of trying to decide what games to buy in the next couple of months. So far I have Wonderful 101, Bayonetta 2, and Mario Wii U (and Nintendo Land). I just played the Pikmin 3 demo and that game seems great, so that might be next?

Does Nintendo ever do big sales on the e-shop around Black Friday or Christmas?

I mean, you don't need to think too hard what Amiibo to get at this point, just wait until your Metaknight arrives and then judge what is worth getting and not based on that experience!

They just had some to get ready for smash, with DKC:TF for 30 and Pikmin 3 and Super Mario 3D World for 40, I don't know if they will do that again.

That Wii/3DS game that Yuji Naka's studio announced back in 2011 before disappearing into thin air is apparently still scheduled to release, only now it's a WiiU/3DS release targeted for 2015 in Japan.

http://www.siliconera.com/2014/11/11/rodea-sky-soldier-lives-coming-wii-u-3ds-spring-2015/

It's also kind of interesting that "The Wii version of Rodea the Sky Soldier that never released will also be included in first-print copy of Rodea the Sky Soldier for Wii U when it releases in Spring 2015 in Japan.".

From the looks of the one trailer they put out back in 2011, it looks kind of like NiGHTS with shooting game elements.

This looks pretty interesting. Reminds me of NiGHTS mixed with Kid Icarus: Uprising. It lives or dies by the controls.

I'm glad that there's no Daisy Amiibo coming out. They threw her to the loving curb after they realized that Rosilina filled the same nitche and is a whole lot better. I mean there is really no space where Daisy can and/or should exist that isn't already occupied.

Not only that but if they're adding Zelda guys into Mario games there would be too many Princesses.

And Daisy is the worst Princess who comes from Gameboy Mario games that have long since been replaced in reverence.

This is a weird amount of hate for Daisy.

Peach is still mostly a way worse character anyways :colbert:

Also there isn't a Daisy Amiibo right now simply because she's not a character in Smash. I don't think it's a sign that Nintendo hates Daisy now.
