Hopefully you guys have checked out my latest feature, and if you have then you might know that I'm pretty stoked for Pokemon X and Y. One thing I didn't really get into was my history with the Anime. I grew up watching it, and stayed with it much longer than I should have. While I have great memories, the show was pretty sub par in the long run. I always wished for a Pokemon anime that represented the games properly. Less miraculous victories, stupid decisions, and I don't know, maybe a protagoinst who actually grows as a character?
According to Media Create's report for week ending September 15th. Monster Hunter 4 for the 3DS sold 1.7 million copies in it's first day on the market. (It was released September 14th I think).
I have been wanting to write this blog for a long time, ever since E3. But the problem was I did not have enough information on Pokemon X and Y's new Fairy type to actually say what kind of impact it would have on the metagame. Finally, however, we not only got a type chart for Fairy type Pokemon, but we got info on some new changes which are sure to be to accomodate for it.
First off, let me just say how insane 2013 looks. This is one of the craziest Falls I have seen in a long time, for me at least. So I thought I'd put the games that look at least good enough to pick up around day one for now for the rest of the year.
I'm only going to stick with games here, no PS4 included. But there will be some PS4 games making it on here. Some of these are based on surprise factor while others are further adding to my excitement. There are some games such as Wind Waker HD or Rayman Legends, which while I'm excited for, will not make an appearance because E3 did nothing to further this. It is saved for the games that really got me stoked to play them during this week.
Nintendo has always been a company that dances to the beat of its own drum. While Sony and Microsoft have been duking it out since 2001, Nintendo has been content to stay the course, remaining profitable while leveraging their wildly successful franchises. It shouldn’t have been surprising, then, when the company announced that they would not be doing a traditional E3 press conference this year, but instead would be issuing one of their very popular Nintendo Direct streams. What was shown was light on surprises, but pure Nintendo, through and through.
The Nintendo 3DS is getting its fair share of great looking games in 2013. With games like Luigi’s Mansion 2, Animal Crossing, and Pokemon X and Y all coming out this year, there will be plenty for 3DS owners to get their hands on. Sooner than all of those comes the niche, but respected strategy game Fire Emblem: Awakening, the latest in a long series of strategy titles exclusive to Nintendo’s consoles. What I can tell you from my hands-on with the game is that not only is there a great game on the horizon, but it might just be one of the best 3DS games yet.
Welcome to the final part of our huge look at some of the more noteworthy games heading your way this year. We’ve shown you a veritable smorgasbord of video games, from the biggest to the ones that aren’t a sure thing. So let’s close things out with some items that are always flash points for discussion, even if we’re not always confident in what they have to offer. These are the wild cards!
Nintendo made many an inner child quite happy this morning by announcing that the main series’ first official foray into 3D will arrive this October in the form of Pokemon X and Pokemon Y.
