More I play xenoblade more I'm worried about X's cast sucking. I don't recall any game that let you customize your character making said custom character interesting plot wise.

Closest I can remember is Awakening.

Honestly, I don't know if I should get Xenoblade. There's no demo for it either so I have no way of at least finding out if I'm mildly interested.

I think the game looks amazing but the character design is so so so so so so bad. I wish they looked more like its predecessor.

Yeah, good thing we can at least hide their designs in cool-rear end armors and make armor stores do better while anime cosplay stores crumble in our iron grip on the economy of Neo Los Angeles (if i read an old thing about how clothes works right)

Kiss the Joycon to Kiss Zelda

I made it through Phazon Mines in Metroid Prime today, jesus that was tough. Just such a long stretch until you find a save point, and annoying fights with the beam troopers. I was pleasantly surprised though when the Elite Pirates went down after a few super missiles to the face. :v:

Does anyone have experience with getting a NNID restored? I had a Wii U but sold is, now rebought it. I called nintendo about it and they said it would be 2-3 days (I made a new account and bought things on it before I realized it was an option to get it restored, so they have to go through the process of merging the two accounts which makes it take longer). My situation is a little weird but since I'm going to need to put a new NNID on it is it likely I'm going to lose my saves on this system when I restore the NNID? I don't want to start digging into Golden Sun if I'm going to lose my progress in two days.

2 needs like an HD remake at this point though.

Eh, I wouldn't, just to be safe. I don't know exactly how they do it, but when you System Transfer between machines, anything on the new system is replaced with what was on the old.

So Xenoblade X looks awesome. Here's the last Japanese Direct, going over how Giant Robots Are loving Awesome

Also multiplayer which seems an awful lot like PSO?

Pandora's Tower is out in Europe this week (but not the US, they're getting shafted on the same game twice over. Isn't it amazing). You probably didn't play it on the Wii so you should buy it now.

Yeah, ever since they've announced it, this has been my "I didn't even know I wanted that" game. I'm not hugely into RPGs though, so I'm passing on Xenoblade Chronicles, because I don't think I can do two 100+ hour rpgs in the same year.

Oh don't worry. A regular playthrough of XC's only about 70 hours :v:.
