I pre-ordered it a few minutes ago, wondering why I remembered pre-ordering it already, though amazon doesn't show it.
Then I found the confirmation E-mail from July, so I guess I'll have two copies of the game, woops. I got this one with 2-day shipping, though, so at least I'll have it for the first weekend in October.
You can still cancel the preorder for amazon.
Also screw nintendo for alienating platinum members again.
They've only announced one game so far thats exclusive, which is a port of a wii game. Given how many people chose not to utilize a 15 dollar attachment, I wouldn't fear any real new games being exclusive to the new 3ds.
For those who do not have a 3DS yet (had one but sold it..) it is not to bad. Though releasing it so quickly is bad on their part.... It will decrease sales even more.
So quickly? For the west it's coming out nearly 4 years after its initial release. To put that in perspective, that's essentially the gap between GBA and DS. To put that into a more relevant perspective, The gap between ds and dsi(which also had a few exclusive games) was 4 years, and 2 years between it and the lite.
Because I didnt think anyone could seriously suggest that gimping your self intentionally by forcing you to use certain team mates and crap moves is a necessary part of an rpg.
What underleveling do you refer to?the character needing to grind or the other trainers usually being weaker? I suspect whatever you are referring to may be why Firered has been so ridiculously easy, definitely easier than Red/Blue were in terms of leveling.
I'm not sure I Understand what you mean by "viable". It sounds like you are referring to pokemon for competitive play or something. For HMs they may as well just be possible to replace. the whole "HMs cannot be forgotten" thing doesn't really seem necessary.
As in lvl 20 swinubs are the best option to grind on for the level 40 gym. Pretty much everything in the wild was half the level you needed it to be. By viable I mean not having to have 3 water type moves on gyrados, with dive essentially being a 2 turn waterfall with no flinching, and surf running off of his much weaker sp attack(this was even worse in gen 3 when there was zero reason to run anything besides surf). It also pains me each time I have to teach altaria or flygon fly because I dont want to retread ground to buy certain items, visit my base, or gamble(which will probably be gone, knowing gamefreak...) While It most certainly is possible to beat the game with whatever, Id rather avoid sticking my pokemon with terrible moves, especially now that tms are multiuse and I can therefor give earthquake and return to everything if need be.
but I'm definitely wishing that they go the HG/SS route and drastically improve it without adding too many new things (making it seem like a completely new game).
You mean leave the worst aspect of it intact? HGSS shouldve addressed the severe underleveling that G/S had. If Gamefreak was smart(which theyre not), they would make it so you dont need the sheer amount of hms to traverse the world in the RS remakes. Id love it if hms were a passive thing that certain pokemon could do naturally or something. Instead, were going to need strength, surf, waterfall, dive, possibly even cut to advance through the game, which is annoying as only two of the hms are actually viable (waterfall and surf). At least rocksmash and flash might be demoted to tm again.
Dry bones is a reoccurring enemy and has been in numerous games as well as spin offs. Why are you comparing him to a one off boss(dry bowser), a powerup from one game(metal mario), and the peach equivalent of waluigi?
(dry bowser is a boss in NSMB for the ds
EDIT: He apparently also shows up in NSMB2 and Mario 3d land)

Go back to the first planet and tell me it doesnt reek of "old bioware level design" syndrome.
