Everyone's complaining about KH3 not being on Wii U

And I’m just here, still waiting for the Ys 4 remake to be ported to something other than the Vita.

(pls Falcom, why do you go where I can't follow? :crying:)

People still bought the Xbox One? Hm, thought they'd just stick with the 360.

Anyone know if the Japanese freak out as much as here everytime a Pyrosphere stage is shown?
I've been told no because the Japanese don't really care about Metroid for the most part. I don't think Ridley's even a blip on their radar compared to most characters. I'm told that Little Mac is another character that is overwhelmingly preferred by Western fans too.

Well then, who do they prefer? I've heard Shulk, and for some reason, Hatsune Miku.

Metroid has always been more popular in the west compared to Japan. I think the most I've heard is that many in Japan acknowledge the fact that Ridley is probbably the most wanted from western fans.

If I'm correct, it's due to "MetroidVania" game being more popular in the West.
Heck, why do you think we get Zelda earlier?

Not sure what the factor is but it's probably the reason why the Prime games were given to Retro Studios. Makes more sense for a western popular game to be developed by western developer. It's an interesting aspect in regards to how much different Japan is from NA in regards to that when you look at it as a whole.

I forget, was the studio that made Other M Western or Eastern? Team Ninja, I think...

I don't think your example counts, Dragon, as Metroid was equally popular prior to their involvement (Super Metroid being the last game that did exceptionally well in both markets), and you could say Metroid became more popular here because of Retro.

Hmm prehaps I'm reading the wrong sources, but most things I've seen on Super Metroid suggests it sold poorly in Japan regardless of critical acclaim even from Japanese Publishers.

By the way, anyone have accurate sales figures of the Wii U's holiday performance?

I would be sad if Arendelle isn't' put into Kingdom Hearts 3.
Frozen seems like it would be great fit in Kingdom Hearts... personally, I would go nuts if they also included New Orleans, Corona, Game Central Station, and Duckburg. :awesome:

It sold better than it did here (not counting Virtual Console rereleases). Metroid in general has always had a problem selling well, despite being critically acclaimed.

Ok what's up with page 1885. Every time I try to go on it Chrome ends up blocking it because of Malware. Like wtf.
"You asked me once, what was on Page 1885. I told you that you knew the answer already. Everyone knows it. The thing that is on Page 1885 is the worst thing in the world. "

A lot of people on Miiverse think that today's pick of the day is saying Sakurai is implying that large characters like King K. Rool & Ridley are pretty much confirmed. Yes, Bowser, DK, & Dedede look somewhat larger than Mario compared to Brawl but I don't think this 100% confirms anything.

It 100% confirms that Miiverse is bad for your health.

He's too big(headed)! :troll:
More like egg-headed.

Seriously, Olimar reminds me of Elmer Fudd's earlier and skinnier design, Egghead.

On a completely different note, Brawl has now officially become Mugen...Or rather it did at the beginning of the year and I somehow missed it.

Goddamn you PhantomWings you magnificent *******, you.

Delete the link to that forum.

Google Chrome is blocking ANY pages that have that link

It says the place is filled with a known malware distributor

I don't think it says anything, tbh, other than, "These characters are now bigger". People tried saying Ashley being confirmed as an assist trophy confirms Wario being playable too. I'm sure he'll return, but Ashley does not confirm it. :rolleyes: Miiversians

To be fair, they stand by their opinion of having Goku in.

Really? I would've thought people on there would say it actually deconfirms those two.

Even deleting the link to the forum, Google Chrome is still blocking this page

I was able to manually get through the block though

It said
