Let’s Talk #33: What do you want to see from next week’s Smash Bros. presentation?
On Tuesday, Nintendo will be holding another Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS presentation. We know that this will be the final broadcast for these Smash Bros. titles, and we’ll be hearing more about Cloud. Nintendo has teased other information for the event, and we’ll almost certainly hear about the Smash Ballot. It should be pretty big given that this is the final Smash Bros. presentation!
So what are your last minute hopes for the stream? Is there any character you’re particularly pulling for? Is there a new stage you’d like to be added? Sound off in the comments below!

Lots of site stuff to talk about again. Please bear with me!
New site functionality
This post has been a looooong time coming. Since we put up the new version of Nintendo Everything towards the end of October, we’ve been working hard to bring in additional functionality/features as well as improvements. That’s finally been done, which is great, since this all nearly killed me. Let me talk about what’s new!

Let’s Talk #32: What are you playing? – December 2015
It’s the first weekend of a new month. Specifically, December has now rolled on in! So we want to know: what are you playing? Tell us in the comments below!
As for me, I’ve been a bit quiet with gaming as of late. I did start up Fantasy Life, but I’m just a few hours in. I like what I’ve played thus far though!

[Review] Xenoblade Chronicles X
Posted on 9 years ago by Dennis Gagliardotto(@LyonHart_) in Reviews, Wii U | 49 Comments
System: Wii U
Release date: December 4, 2015
Developer: Monolith Soft
Publisher Nintendo
As a JRPG fanatic that’s been craving a first-party AAA open-world experience on the Wii U since its initial launch in 2012, I’m happy to say that the wait is finally over as we’ve been graced with Monolith Soft’s ambitious Xenoblade Chronicles X, the spiritual successor to Wii’s equally ambitious and captivating Xenoblade Chronicles which was recently brought over to the New Nintendo 3DS in an updated fashion. Xenoblade Chronicles X puts players in a rich, vibrant world filled with a myriad of monsters, locations, and a deep story that tells the tale of civilization starting over, but bringing all these great things together in a cohesive way doesn’t go without fault.

[Review] Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon
Posted on 9 years ago by Vincent Ward in 3DS, Reviews | 4 Comments
System: 3DS
Release date: November 20, 2015
Developer: Spike Chunsoft
Publisher Nintendo
In a world where the characters typically can only just speak their own name, having a game that features 720 different Pokemon with their own personalities and jobs is a feat in and of itself. But once you mix in the addictive dungeon crawling mechanics of the Mystery Dungeon series and all the other elements that make Pokemon titles the iconic series it is, you are given the definitive Mystery Dungeon title and one fun RPG.
[Review] Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival
Posted on 9 years ago by Vincent Ward in Reviews, Wii U | 22 Comments
System: Wii U
Release date: November 13, 2015
Developer: Nintendo / Nd Cube
Publisher Nintendo
With Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival, I find myself having trouble translating my opinion into words. From a party game standpoint it has everything with fun multiplayer games and some single-player content sprinkled in. For an Animal Crossing spin-off title, it still has a lot to offer, too. It feels like an Animal Crossing title focused around being a party game instead of vice-versa, which is exactly how it should be. But I can’t help but get the impression that there’s something missing from the overall experience that is leaving the picture unfinished, and with a source material as large as Animal Crossing, I have to admit it ends up leaving a sour taste in my mouth.
[Let’s Talk] Have you tried out Nintendo Badge Arcade?

Let’s Talk #31: Have you tried out Nintendo Badge Arcade?
Nintendo Badge Arcade hit the Japanese 3DS eShop in December 2014. It wasn’t until last week though that the app came out in the west. Now that it’s here, have you given it a shot? Do you believe it was worth the wait?
I admit I’ve been checking in on Nintendo Badge Arcade daily since its release. What’s funny about that is how I’m interested in the collective aspect more than anything else. I’m not really a creative person, and I don’t intend to load up my home menu with badges. There’s something there though that I keep coming back to. I boot up the app, visit the practice catcher, and usually use my free play. It’s easy and quick enough to get the job done! I can’t say I’m inclined to spend any cash on Nintendo Badge Arcade, however.
Now share your thoughts with us in the comments below! What do you think of Nintendo Badge Arcade?

[Review] Typoman
Posted on 9 years ago by Travis(@nintentravis) in Reviews, Wii U eShop | 3 Comments
System: Wii U (eShop)
Release date: November 19, 2015
Developer: Brainseed Factory
Publisher Headup Games
Author: Travis
Typoman is a game built around words. Its puzzles are words, its platforms are words, and even its enemies are word. Yet, throughout the experience, there are three words that will stand out above the rest: creative, but disappointing.

[Review] Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash
Posted on 9 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in Features, Reviews | 66 Comments
System: Wii U
Release date: November 20, 2015
Developer: Camelot
Publisher Nintendo
Author: Austin
Super Smash Bros. for Wii U is a game that lacks guidance when you start it up; it’s a mish mash of menu options, and they don’t tell you which icon to try first. But where Smash Bros. uses a lack of direction to overwhelm– like Charlie entering Wonka’s entirely edible room– Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash feels a lot less excited about its own content. Even the game can’t be bothered to show you around.
“Well, here’s all this stuff I guess.”
What should I do first?
“Uhhhh…”
