I've been considering selling my original 3DS and getting an XL soon, is there a noticeable difference between using the two different versions, and would people with an XL have an advantage over other players online? I can't imagine it's too significant past comfort, and it's not like it'll be the first Smash game to have people fighting using slightly different controllers.

I imagine playing Smash with the 3D on would not be the most comfortable thing to do, maybe something you try once. It probably even lowers the framerate a little bit, which you definitely don't want.

Huh, would have to upgrade my SD card then, have ordered a 3DS XL though, which I believe comes with 4GB. I may just stick with physical though...

sout
Apr 24, 2014

That's true, it would be nice to have it built-in, and it's no trouble getting an SD card. My birthday is a few days before the release of the game though, so it may be easier to get it physical as a present. 3DS games are also usually cheaper physical (at least in the UK), so there's an argument for either.
EDIT: cheaper than from the eShop that is, though I may be able to get a download code cheaper from a game store online, which is how I got Fire Emblem: Awakening

I remember some people I know predicting Shulk may have the ability to turn back time in the game, which would be a pretty goddamn annoying feature, so obviously that wouldn't happen. But what could his gimmick be? I don't know really, attacking from different directions (side, back, front) doing different damages maybe would be interesting, or incorporating the Break, Topple, Daze combo somehow.

Maybe it's because I'm not a massive Metroid fan, but I seriously do not get why people like Ridley so much.

I'm very happy Shulk is in the game though, I loved Xenoblade and I can see myself playing a lot of him. However, if this turns out to actually be faked, people (myself included) are gunna be so loving smug and it'll be great.

Is there anyone who isn't excited by the prospect of DLC? In a full price fighting game it seems important that everyone should have access to the same characters without having to pay extra to potentially have an advantage.

yeah but on the other hand DLC allows character additions after the game comes out

This is true, but when something is "planned DLC" it basically just means they were already intending to put it in anyway. Unless it's literally an issue of time constraints.

My brother mainly played Squirtle and he's disappointed he's been cut. He would have been a more likely returning character than Ivysaur though, let's be honest. Middle evolution of possibly the least popular Gen 1 starter.

Duck Hunt seems like it potentially be Ice Climbersish, since it shows the dog and duck in frame, or it could just be like King Dedede or Diddy Kong and be able to make the ducks to throw at people or something.

I'm skeptical about the "final five" because if this was supposed to be a video that showed all the content of the game, they wouldn't exclude characters.

We don't care about these, actually, It's just nazis and violence that the rating agency here has a problem with.

It seems like some of the most recent censors have been due to anal probing (South Park, Saint's Row) so maybe specifically sexual violence is a big no-no.

I hate fun, so I seriously don't believe there's a necessity for 5 more characters to be unknown just because of the layout of the character select screen, I feel like everything would have to have been shown to the ESRB.

Really don't wanna buy a new 3DS or use the Circle Pad Pro. I imagine it's fine for Smash Bros, because most of my friends won't have one, but hopefully the controls for Xenoblade work fine.

I've never used an XL circle pad pro, but I can imagine it's quite cumbersome. Then again, I have used the Wii U Gamepad soooo....

I think the new 3DS isn't leaving Japan until 2015 though, so I don't think a Smash bundle is gunna happen in NA or UK where I am.

Is it because, like Roy, he's there to advertise something coming, rather than/in addition to something already here?

Or is it just because he's British?

Shulk may not necessarily be involved in the next game, (Xenoblade Chronicles X) unless you were talking about the Xenoblade remake. I suppose it does introduce more people to the Xeno series though.

I've been meaning to play Xenoblade once I muster up $60-$100. Now that it's coming to 3DS, I considered getting that, but it looked like a lower-end Dreamcast game and seemed really slow. I assume the Wii version looks better, but was it also faster?

Nope, not really.

Is Xenoblade actually good or is it one of those games like Nier that a bunch of nerds claim is an underappreciated classic but it's actually mediocre at best.

I haven't played any other RPGS on the Wii, so I can safely say it's the best RPG on the Wii. I really enjoyed it, but I had to take a few breaks with the game before I beat it, my run was relatively short, only 75 hours or so.

I really enjoyed my playthrough of Xenoblade and the soundtrack, but I totally saw it as a "podcast game" inbetween cutscenes and boss fights because there are definitely some grindy sections in it. I've been playing FE:A on classic and hard recently and ran out of steam at around chapter 22, it's fun but man I suck at it.
