E3 Opinion time~

So, I figured it’d be fun to write up my thoughts about E3. This won’t really be a huge amount of things nor will I be commenting on everything as I am going to just focus on stuff I really have anything to say on (due to excitement or other reasons). I don’t expect to have much to say on Day 3 since the “big” conferences will be over, but if anything comes up I’ll edit it in.

Day 1

So, today started with Microsoft with actually… really surprised me. I’ll be honest–I’m usually completely disappointed or uninterested in Microsoft, but they actually really got my hopes up and I may look into getting an Xbox One sometime this year now.

While Call of Duty looked interesting (and the graphics looked nice), it isn’t really my kind of game. Forza Horizon 2 looks really neat though and I’ll probably end up picking that up (Despite my drifting complaints, I enjoy racing games).

Sunset Overdrive was probably the first “new” game that really got me excited–at first, I didn’t really care much for it (felt the monsters would be more zombified), but it’s just bright and colorful and the monsters aren’t nightmare-ish and the rail grinding really makes me think of how much fun I had on Sonic Adventure games (I miss that series so much) and it just made me excited about it. I’m curious about the customization options and hope there’s a Co-Op with normal gameplay as well.

Still very excited for Project Spark–though, now that I am considering getting an Xbox One, I’m undecided about what to get it on. I also really enjoyed most of the music featured throughout Microsoft’s Press Conference so I hope to find a list of music they used.

And the new Tomb Raider was shown as well–which while I know we’ll be for all systems (we will probably get it for PS4), I was still really excited to see and it was a nice note to end the excitement for me on Microsoft’s.

However, while Microsoft actually got me excited and hyped up, EA smacked it right back down. Star Wars Battlefront looks really nice, but it’s still early concept. The only other thing that got me excited at all was Sims 4 and the ending left me feeling mortified and uncomfortable (I’ll expand on this later) so even that fell flat in the end.

I did think EA’s seating area looked rather fancy though.

It was then time for Ubisoft and I’ll be honest, I wasn’t thrilled to see Aisha Tyler as host again–I know she likes video games, but I just don’t find her funny and I find her more vulgar than she really needs to be so… That said, Ubisoft’s conference already started off iffy for me–while I enjoyed the music in the previous Shows, Ubisoft has a tendency to go towards a lot of newer music which to be blunt, I really don’t care for. Both songs they showcased at the beginning are songs I just don’t like much for various reasons (Sure, the meaning is nice, but I still dislike a lot of what makes up the songs).

No games ended up catching my attention, but I did notice a trend with Ubisoft’s trailers… a lot of death. It’s one thing where it’s gameplay (and even then, depending on what may still bother me–usually more towards scripted sequences though such as the head on the pike during Asassin’s Creed: Unity during Microsoft–that whole segment of showing the face and then zooming out to show it on the pike was really disturbing to me), but it’s another where they are showing you a trailer and it leads with murdering a family or nearly everyone or an animal and it’s like… don’t show this kind of trailer. Seriously. It just made me super upset and I don’t really care if it’s for story reasons–why do you need to show something like that in a Public Trailer?

The fact that EA went and did it as a joke (Look, the guy died from laughter!) is sick in itself. I mean, I guess maybe they wanted to show that off? But that actually turns me off the game. I don’t want to have one of my Sims laughing at a joke and then keel over. Just really disappointing to me.

Anyway, the last conference of the day was Sony’s! It started with Destiny which is a game I’m interested in trying, but not quite sure how I feel about it just yet overall.

One thing I had been thankful for was the lack of Zombies or creepy Humanoids to the point they are still noticeably human which Sony’s new IP kind of brought up. I’m not entirely sure if they are bad enough just yet, but they do creep me out quite a bit. It’s hard to tell for sure though.

Thankfully, the next game was a lot prettier :P The Swan/Bird and Fish were very cute/pretty, as was the music. The game is apparently called Entwined, but I’m not sure if it’s something I’d play despite how pretty it looks. It does look like it could be kind of relaxing though? Or that’s supposed to be the goal kind of like Flower. It is out now so it’s something to debate on.

Then there was in Infamous Son DLC which I know a certain someone was excited about and the–OMG LITTLE BIG PLANET 3. LITTLE BIG PLANET 3. LITTLE BIG PLANET 3. LITTLE BIG PLANET 3. LITTLE BIG PLANET 3. LITTLE BIG PLANET 3. LITTLE BIG PLANET 3. LITTLE BIG PLANET 3. LITTLE BIG PLANET 3. LITTLE BIG PLANET 3. LITTLE BIG PLANET 3. LITTLE BIG PLANET 3.

ODDSOCK. ODDSOCK IS ADORABLE.

OMG TOGGLE IS ALSO CUTE. AND CAN BE TINY. AND A CUTE BIRD NAMED SWOOP.

I hope they can also be customized! I hope we can transfer our data like 1 to 2. Anyway, the game looks just like past games and great–it doesn’t seem to require Move or Vita which is nice (though, I can see the DLC packs already) so I’m just hoping it at least doesn’t do the take away items thing to re-put in the game. While I have mixed feelings on more characters (despite how cute they are), I am still excited. I hope you can also choose to be a Sackboy/girl though and still play without all 4 characters. I mean, I can see us wanting to both play Sackpeople so… (no offense to Oddsock, Toggle, and Swoop). Out of the 3 new characters, Oddsock is probably my favorite. PLUS COW RIDING. I’m so so so so so so so excited. And a bit worried. But excited. Probably the first game for me to start squeeing about and this November no less!

Of course the excitement was short lived as I got completely creeped out by the next game. I’m just…not even going to talk about it, but apparently their new IP was not the worst. And the next trailer for FarCry4 made me feel bad for a Goat… Catchy music in the cute car though. The scenery with the Elephants was also very pretty.

Very excited by the idea that your friends on PSN can join you even if you don’t have it. I hope that will be featured in more games. Of course, that excitement was short-lived by yet another zombie game trailer. And by that applause, I think I may not be the only one sick of them (Of course, I get sick of them in multiple ways)… And then a poor Kitty went poof in a Magicka 2 trailer and just what is with these trailers :/

Not too much caught my eye after, but No Man’s Sky had really pretty scenery. I loved seeing all the Dinosaurs and stuff. It was nice to see. ABZÛ was also quite pretty–kind of reminded me of Endless Ocean. I may look into getting that.

As a quick note (I was debating on saving it for later, but…), while not much was said for Disney Infinity (I am personally leaning towards getting it for Wii U), it seems Sony will be getting Disney Infinity 2.0 first. It also hinted towards some of the Disney Afternoon characters (such as Darkwing Duck) which is really exciting.

Moving on, Playstation TV was announced with a 99 dollar price tag which I don’t find too bad. Will probably pick it up when it comes out. There was also a trailer for Mortal Kombat–I used to really enjoy the series, but have found it kind of…too disgusting/graphic with how realistic it’s gotten. So many people want constant realism and high quality graphics, but for me, I don’t think that’s always a good thing…

We then returned back to starting off and showing incredibly sad moments in trailers when not entirely needed X__x At least the Ratchet & Clank movie looked interesting–I’ve never played the games before though so…

Batman’s trailer looked neat–I liked seeing how big the world was and the Batmobile mechanics looked cool. There wasn’t much else after that caught my attention so that’s really it for what I have to say about Sony and that finished up Day 1!

I think Microsoft was probably my favorite of Day 1 as it overall kept me at an excitement level versus Sony where it was a lot of up and down–Sony probably had the game that made me most excited on Day 1 though with LittleBigPlanet 3. I didn’t care much for EA or Ubisoft, but I’d probably put EA above Ubisoft–Ubisoft may have been less boring at times, but even ignoring the trailer issues I had, EA had two things I was interested in, even if one was a very early demo essentially and the other got ruined towards the end, while Ubisoft really didn’t have anything.

Day 2

So, Nintendo came out first with a…very interesting opening to say the least and confirmation for Miis in Smash Brothers! It seems you can choose a move set? Considering the difference in Reggie’s and Iwata’s. I’m so excited. Plus it seems using the Nintendo Figures, you can like… scan the figures into support trophies or use them as a tag team fighter? There’s Brawler, Fighter, and Gunner it seems–I kind of wish there was a magic class too, but oh well. I’ll probably use Sword or Gunner? I also like how it seems they come in with their Mii Plaza hats. Now if only I could unlock them all already…

Plus, we got a release date! It’s later than Summer, but I’m still happy for it.

Amiibo seems interesting plus with lots of function from various figures, it sounds like lots of options too. Really excited that it will update as it goes too :D Apparently they will be able to be used in Mario Kart 8–definitely a way to get more characters.

I’m still undecided if I’ll pick up Yoshi’s Woolly World–it’s really cute/pretty, but I tend to be pretty awful at Yoshi games. It looks like a lot of fun though T~T Plus Co-op so yay :D I also loved the Crochet Yoshis they made T~T (PLEASE PUT THESE IN STORES FOR US TO BUY) And it shall be out in 2015 <3 Plus a Captain Toad game later this year! :D So exciting. The New Zelda looks beautiful and really expansive. I kind of wish they showed a bit more , but it cut suddenly right into Pokemon which I found a bit awkward? I mean, I'm excited for Pokemon too, but it was an awkward cut in my opinion... On a brighter note, we now have a day for Pokemon! While I'm not too sure how I feel about Hyrule Warriors, I think Zelda's outfit looks quite nice. tumblr_n6yr2oRCzU1qfwzeuo2_1280
I just really adore the skirt and bodice/corset design T~T

Similarly, I don’t see myself getting Canvas’ Curses sequel, but it looks cute.

Mario Maker looks neat–not sure how much I’d use it myself but it could be fun and the fact that it seems you can make it in old or new style is pretty cool too. (Also, if Mario Ballet is anything like Figure Skating in the Mario and Sonic at the Winter Olympics, I’d totally play that :P)

Splatoon looks interesting–it’s a neat idea and stuff, but I don’t really see myself playing it because I can’t aim worth crud :P Very cute character design too though. Pink!Squid is my favorite because I said so. :P It does look cute though and fun so I’ll probably still at least look into it.

And new character from Smash Brothers–Palutena! But… what about Jigglypuff T~T I really liked the Anime cutscene to show it (and would totally watch a Smash Brothers Anime). She looks a lot of fun to play as. That finished it up though (with Miyamoto talking a bit after and showing some stuff). I really enjoyed it, but I wish it was longer. I’m guessing they plan to do more announcements through the Tree House and stuff.

The first thing after the conference was talking more about the Amiibo figures. I’m pretty excited about them–especially the idea of fighting alongside them. I can use all my favorite Smash Brothers characters at once and not be indecisive :P Definitely grabbing the Kirby, Peach, and Pikachu figures.
group
They really are quite pretty.

Also, yay for several games they will be in!

OMG SPREE ANNOUNCEMENTS:
FANTASY LIFE – OCTOBER 24TH

PROFESSOR LAYTON VS ACE ATTORNEY – AUGUST 29TH

They mentioned a bit on Mario Party 19–not sure how I feel about Bowser being the star (I don’t care to play Bowser), but I quickly went to watch the trailer :3 Sadly, it seems cars are back :( And I don’t care much for the constant 1 vs 4 gameplay (1 vs 3 games were usually my least favorite to be honest) so I’m not sure if I will get it or not.

As said, “Don’t close your browser ever” sounds so accurate right now. I’m just so hyped at the moment.

Still not sure how to feel about Sonic Boom just yet. I’m not fond of the weird laser mechanic and the voices seem kind of off outside cutscenes. Still mixed feelings on the new models as well :/ But they at least look better versus the original showing of them. Not too fond of Sticks kind of crossing off Amy in the 3DS version either (nor do I know how to feel about the character–I mean, there is already a kind of Outback character too if that’s what they were trying for…).

Similarly, I’m not sure if Giant Robot is a game I’d play, but it looks neat and I like that you can customize your robot.

Hyrule Warriors has an adorable loading screen with cute pixel Link :P

Also, who doesn’t enjoy SpotPass Miis!:
meetingsakuraismii

We got to hear about Mario Maker next–it was fun seeing them make stages, but I don’t know how often I’d do it myself. It still looks fun though… but I really want to know about the dog by the trash can:
mmdog
I think it’d be neat if you could use other characters besides Mario too :P

The skinny mushroom was also quite amusing. And I enjoyed the musical wings. The levels they showed off was also amusing. And fairly cruel too :P Enjoyed the end of the second to last course though. And we found out the dog is Undo… I wish it did more than that T~T Still a cute icon though!

Moving from Nintendo, Square-Enix’s video (Square-Enix Presents)! So many cute plushies and figures T~T I want the Moogle Plushie and Aerith figure the most. I also enjoyed hearing all the music. And I know many people who are quite excited about their game announcements :P

Anyway, this has gotten longer than expected and it’s time for the Smash Tournament shortly (Love the cool character select posters) so I will end here! If I decide to write more, I’ll either edit this later or write more–this already ended up a lot longer than I expected o-o

Edit: And I need the matching Pink Peach Gamecube Controller:
szqtpco40u4ondgzvh7s

Edit 2: And Nintendo keeps going T~T So excited for customized fighters! Plus it sounds like you can customize your Mii’s clothing which I’m excited to see the options.

Mixed feelings on the Equipment thing for everyone though. Don’t really care for systems like that–I hope the equipment isn’t shown at least if it has to be there.

I don’t play online, but I think it’s kind of lame you can only use Mii Fighters online when playing with friends…

Tomodachi Life: A baby!

So, late last night when I was getting ready for bed and finishing up, there was a sudden alert on the screen… It turned out that a baby was born!

I’ll be honest, that happened a lot quicker than I expected. I mean, they were literally doing stuff like bouncing on the bed and being on the ferris wheel last:

But yes, after taking care of Marina, everything was happy:

Of course, other antics were happening too–such as Singing Practice at Solo’s, ChibiUsa and Ami having a Picnic, and the first meeting of the Ponytail Club.

Also much playing with Puppies:

Plus, Sosostris was our newest neighbor!:

Today, I received another alert pretty early on as they needed some help:

Thankfully, this was easier than the game I played last night… Look how cute they are playing together:

I also sent them on a Family Vacation together–this time they went to Tahiti:




And took some family portraits:


And baby portraits:



Meanwhile, love is blossoming for other couples–Kujo asked out Victorique…

She said yes!:

And our other Zero (dubbed MM Zero) decided to propose to Ciel:

As for her answer…well:

The wedding:

They chose to have their Honey Moon in Peru:


And here they are in their new home:

Making them my 2nd married couple :D They’d be 3rd or 4th, but I screwed up the other two and they haven’t asked again yet :( These two were much easier honestly.

Meanwhile, Zero and Jennifer took their Baby, Marina, to the tower:

I am looking forward to seeing how they will look once grown. I still haven’t decided if I should let her travel or move into the apartment though! *can’t decide* T~T

Also, today happens to be Mikayla’s birthday! :D And of course, also her Mii’s Mika’s birthday!:

I love the birthday stuff they do. I can’t wait until my birthday.

Note: I received the game early from Nintendo. Thank you, Nintendo! :D If you are interested in Tomodachi Life, you may want to look into picking it up!

Tomodachi Life: Sharing Miis

If you haven’t noticed yet, the Celebrity Miis that were shown in Nintendo’s various Tomodachi Life Trailers can actually be downloaded through QR Codes on the Official Tomodachi Life website or the QR Codes I have shown under each Mii’s description! Scanning through Town Hall is actually really neat as it keeps the characters with the outfit, personality, voice, interior, and etc. making it more like it’s that exact Mii versus just the starting one from Mii Maker. If you transfer wirelessly, the Mii will also keep it’s favorite food list among other things. It’s a really neat feature to say the least.

While I’m not a big celebrity person (so I don’t know if I will keep them just yet!), I thought it’d be fun to check what each one had.

To start, each one DOES come with gold pants–however, they can not be sent to Mii Maker (or edited in any way). I’m not sure why you can’t (I really wanted to move them to Mii Maker to then move to my Plaza so I’m a bit disappointed about it to be honest), but you can’t and it kind of stinks >> Similarly, like many of the special QR Codes, if you delete them, you can never scan them again. I don’t know if this also applies in the sense that if a friend tried to send them Wirelessly they still could (they may not be allowed to even be sent), but yeah.

I’d also like to point out that even though these Miis will probably have items you want, they do not get added to your shop (which was what I was hoping after failing at sending them to Mii Maker… but nope T~T)

So first up, Christina Aguilera!

She comes with the Spring Interior (SO CUTE T~T), the V-neck top Outfit in Black, Regular Clothes in Red, the Trilby hat in Black, and the catchphrase “Sing strong!”. She has the “Independent Artist” Personality.

Her QR Code:

ChristinaAQR

Second, Shaquille O’Neal!

He comes with the Soccer Stadium Interior, the Star T-shirt in Black, Regular Clothes in Red, and the catchphrase “Show me ur best!”. He has the “Outgoing/Entertainer” Personality. He’s the only one that has a different outfit than his Mii’s icon on the site.

His QR Code:

ShaquilleQR

Third, Debby Ryan!

She comes with the Purple Interior, the Dress & Jacket Outfit in Blue, Regular Clothes in Light Green, and the catchphrase “What’s up!”. She has the “Outgoing/Entertainer” Personality.

Her QR Code:

DebbyRQR

Fourth, Shaun White!

He comes with the Street Interior, the Peacoat Outfit (Kind of cute) in Black, Regular Clothes in Black, and the catchphrase “BOOM!”. He has the “Outgoing/Trendsetter” Personality.

His QR Code:

ShaunWhiteQR

And last, but not least: Zendaya!

She comes with the Sparkle Interior (The interior Blue gave me that I want T~T I don’t care much for the shoes and stuff shown, but the pink and sparklyness and door are soooo cute!) the Flower Leggings Outfit in Black, Regular Clothes in Black, and the catchphrase “Time to dance!”. She has the “Easygoing/Buddy” Personality.

Her QR Code:

ZendayaQR

Also, Nintendo’s Island’s address is super cute. I’m not going to spoil it, but I am envious of it! Mine sounds so savory–I wish it was a bit sweeter like Nintendo’s.

But yes, while there isn’t much reward if you don’t care about the celebrities themselves, I still think it’s a pretty neat feature <3 Note: I received the game early from Nintendo. Thank you, Nintendo! :D If you are interested in Tomodachi Life, you may want to look into picking it up!

Tomodachi Life is Out! + The first SpotPass Item

So, Tomodachi Life is officially out which is super exciting! I also posted up my review today :)

I also headed to the Nintendo Store to pick up some stuff today after work–sadly, I didn’t manage to get any StreetPasses for Tomodachi Life! I did get some overall though:
streetpassestoday
I mostly just used them in Flower Town though–I don’t know how to get further where I am in Mii Force without an Orange shirt Mii, I can only use black shirts right now in Monster Manor, and Warrior’s Way is done so… I also got a few new puzzle pieces which is always nice.

As for what I picked up…:
peachwiimoteplus


:D :D :D :D :D

It even came with a pink rubber case, a wristband, and batteries!
peachwiimoteplus2
I honestly didn’t expect any of that so XD The Peach Wiimote Plus is REALLY nice quality so I’m super happy I got it. Can’t wait to use it.

Moving back to Tomodachi Life, the first SpotPass item came out today! A Graduation Hat:

It comes in Black, Red, and Blue :D The item is only available for a week so be sure to pick up the game soon if you want it!

This opened up Import Wear for me which was one of the buildings I still needed!:

Sadly, I still need to StreetPass someone for the other…

At the very least, I was finally able to pick up the dress I had set as my Import Item!:

It has an awesome description:

I had planned to have Jennifer wear it, but it was short lived as I gave her a sewing machine and well…

I was so excited, I didn’t even get a chance to screenshot after she made it. So happy T~T

Plus some other random highlights!:

I have the final apartment size! It will not upgrade again and I can have up to 100 in it.

Love and Marriage:


The news reports are so silly:

Playing Wii U:

I love how they can be using the Gamepad, just the Wiimote, or the Wiimote + Nunchuk. And they are pretty active too.


They really act out what they are doing fairly well (and celebrate or get sad depending on victory or defeat).

Having fun randomly:


The Kid-o-Matic and Age-o-Matic:





And some photos:

Finally, my friend Blue actually put my Mii in her game!:

I really hope that interior shows up in my game soon T~T

Note: I received the game early from Nintendo. Thank you, Nintendo! :D If you are interested in Tomodachi Life, you may want to look into picking it up!

Tomodachi Life Review

tomodachilifeboxart Tomodachi Life is a Life Simulation game. It is actually a sequel game (the original being out for the DS), but the first game was Japan only. I always thought this game looked like a lot of fun so I was really excited when I heard we’d be getting one. While the game is a Life Simulation and definitely has some things that remind you of the Sims, I’d say it actually feels closer to a Pet Simulation game. That isn’t necessarily bad, but it means a lot of their actions are much more passive and there isn’t as much free will for the Miis. You pretty much oversee them completely with your realistic hands helping out every so often. Though, if you’ve seen my playthroughs you probably already know about the basic game play.

Mario Kart 8 Review

mk8boxart Mario Kart 8 is the newest (and 8th if you couldn’t guess, minus the Arcade versions) installment of the Mario Kart series. It brings quite a bit of new stuff while still retaining many old features. While the courses are fun to race on, I feel that’s the main thing the game has going for it. The game sadly brings back several things I’m not too fond of which kind of ruins the enjoyment, despite the creativity of most of the tracks. I will start by saying if you’re expecting to hear tons of good things about the game, this may not be the review for you as I’ll be offering a bit of a different point of view. That said, if you enjoy the Mario Kart Series, you should still enjoy this one and the graphics are lovely, if you care about that kind of stuff.

Tomodachi Life: Random things

Besides uploading more videos, I’ve still been having lots of fun playing.

Even the smallest details can be pretty fun to take note of–such as how a Mii could be playing with a different dog/cat due to the fact that it’s a “Rent” coupon.

I wish I could have tons of dogs and cats all at once though… I wonder how many different ones there are.

Not to mention it’s still fun to see what happens next–here they are playing the Wii U–Carlos and Jennifer even have Wiimotes!:

It’s a pretty crazy match:

Full House:

I also managed to unlock another Ranking board!:

I still have two left, but I’m not sure what they are or how to unlock them :(

Jennifer and Zero/Mark went on another trip:



And also went to Japan again too:

Finally, I managed to give her the 10,000 needed for a trip…

…and thus, they went to space!:





Me too, Mii. Me too.

Note: I received the game early from Nintendo. Thank you, Nintendo! :D If you are interested in Tomodachi Life, you may want to look into picking it up!

Mario Kart 8 and Tomodachi Life Ramblings

So, Mario Kart 8 came out in North America today! I’ve been enjoying the courses a lot, though, my index finger hurts from how much drifting is required (how much I suck at said drifting doesn’t help). I won’t talk too much about issues though as I do plan to write a review sometime soon :)

Moving on, I sadly still haven’t been able to unlock Prancer :( Even after doing a 32 course versus match and all the cups… I plan to do 150CC on each next but bleh, super disappointed. I don’t want to play online until I have the Cloud Glider and Prancer Kart so…

I did do some uploads from the ingame uploader thingy however:

My fiancé and I playing–I really love Moo Moo Meadows.


Another of my favorite courses.


I actually got to break a Blue Shell with the Horn in this one.


I actually am really surprised I won–I fell off the track, but ended up landing below it and managed to skate ahead to victory.


SO much love for Moo Moo Meadows.


And trying out the Teddybear Buggy while I continue to try for the Prancer Kart T__T

I seem to play better with my Mii, but I’m really not fond of the outfit in the game. It looks so bulky and the helmet really annoys me. I wish our Miis could just have a few outfits to choose from or something–I’d love to ride in a kart as my Mii with Princess Peach’s crown and dress :(

Also, be sure to check out the latest Nintendo Minute to finish up “Mario Kart MAY-hem” if you have been enjoying Mario Kart 8!:

It has an amazing giveaway at the end (and wow do I hope I win somehow because I’d cry tears of happiness at the idea of a figure of my Mii riding in the Prancer Kart T~T)

As for Tomodachi Life, I’m still enjoying it tons! I just wish more friendship and relationship stuff would happen, but they just seem to so up so rarely even with so many Miis… Still an incredibly fun game though. Hopefully I’ll have another entry soon :) And the review will be up on June 6th! If you are feeling impatient, Nintendo is still uploading fun Tomodachi Life videos:

I hope to record another video soon!

E3 is so close!

So, I’m looking forward to E3. Not necessarily out of hoping for anything specific, but just because I have fun seeing the announcements–it’s part of why I love Nintendo Directs so much. I will be watching all of the presentations and hoping there will be games that get my attention.

Despite that, I don’t really have any predictions like most people do. I mean, I’d expect them to talk about the Ruby and Sapphire remakes (and hope for game footage) plus Smash Brothers stuff, but I think that’s kind of a given?

I do wonder if they will mention Tomodachi Life at all despite it being released before then. Similarly, I wonder if the Wii U version of Pushmo will be out at all despite it being out shortly after E3 and a trailer already being up:



(I am looking forward to getting it–also looking forward to Mario Kart arriving in the mail tomorrow… Sad I had to work today and wasn’t able to go to the Nintendo Store event :( (also looking forward to the Gamecube Controller USB Adapter thing) )

As for stuff I’d LIKE to see… nothing that I actually consider ever has a chance of happening.

The closest I can think of is Little Big Planet 3 which is kind of mixed because:
1. I still haven’t finished 2–still have some Acing to do with the extra packs.
2. I’m not fond of the Move or Vita packs as I don’t find either very comfortable and I feel those would be used even more in a third game.
3. I wasn’t fond of how some items were removed from inventories and re-put in the game to earn again. Some of those items were quite hard to earn in LBP1 as it is–wasn’t fun to have to get them all over again and while I didn’t use most of the ones that this happened to, my fiancé did.

Maybe a chance for a new Modnation Racers? But I think since Little Big Planet Karting happened (which in my opinion wasn’t even as good), it’s unlikely.

I also hope we’ll see stuff of the new Harvest Moon game… which is Story of Seasons and not done by Natsume and is being done by XSEED which is one of Marvelous’ branches so I GUESS that makes sense but I’m still incredibly confused about it.

But like I said, besides that, I truly can’t think of anything in particular I really want to see that has any chance of happening. What kind of things do I dream of that are never going to happen?

1. A Pokemon Snap sequel. I think they could do a lot with it–especially if the 3DS itself acted like the camera. You go around and kind of like how Denpa Man works, you’d see the Pokemon in the real world–possibly based off where you go or what you’re looking at… just randomly generated and you get to try and catch it (or instantly like the Google Map’s Pokemon Challenge thing). Then connect to the Wii U to upload them, show them to Professor Oak, maybe unlock stuff, etc. I just think it’d be really cool.

2. A Pokemon MMO – Besides the fact that as new games with new Pokemon come out (although, I am kind of tired of new Pokemon) there can be expansions, I feel that the idea of Pokemon which is exploring around with these Pokemon you become friends with and also other trainers is really neat and could work well with an MMO. Not to mention there could be two different fighting styles–a turn-based type like the games and a more action-type that is similar to the Anime where you would get control of the Pokemon and actually get to use it to properly dodge or do combinations you wouldn’t normally get to do. You could actually make a secret hide out somewhere, decorate your own room, customize your trainer, and explore every region.

Heck, I’d be happy for a Pokemon game that would just let me go to every region in one already T__T

Regardless, I know those won’t happen, but it’s still kind of fun to dream. And it doesn’t lessen the excitement of E3 for me.

And maybe I’ll even see something for the Xbox I want (enough that I’ll pick up an Xbox One)–sadly, the last Xbox game I really liked was Kinectimals which I couldn’t play that well because our “living room” area isn’t large enough for the Kinect to read us properly :/ So bleh.

There is one thing that I really hope is announced though and will be upset if it isn’t… Jigglypuff better be announced as a returning fighter in Smash Brothers. T__T SHE MUST RETURN.

But yes, now back to waiting @-@ (and dreaming of one day actually being able to go to E3 and see it live!)
