The Nintendo 3DS

You can not know as much as you want, it doesn't change the fact that the Akaneia saga is very popular in Japan.

Also, the thing about Marth is that he's now an archetype. His core personality traits became the template for pretty much every Lord that followed.

I second the notion that those swagtastic getups deserve to be alt outfits in Smash.

Yes, even Polka Dot Super Sayain Donkey Kong.

Polka Dot Super Sayain Donkey Kong. This is so win.

Disappointed about how Samus was stuck in her Power Suit for her makeover? Never fear, the internet has stepped in and taken care of that.

How unnecessary.

man the makeup used to make that lady's lower eyelids stand out at the start is creepy.

Re Spirit Tracks: Also, they're advertising a portable. Spirit Tracks was a portable game.

For the previous generation though. They could have used A Link Between Worlds Link. -shrugs- Guess he isn't as recognizable.

Toon Link is cuter and fits into that sort of commercial better. Same with Toon Zelda. The real question is why Samus was there. She's not cute (at least not in her armor), her series isn't that popular in Japan, and it's not like Metroid has seen much activity as of late. Though my guess is that they just felt like throwing her in just because.

I think it partly has to do with promoting Smash a little, to be honest. Almost everyone in the trailer are in that game.

Probably because she's in Smash Bros.

If it was about promoting Smash then Toon Zelda wouldn't have much reason to be there, though Isabelle could be excused given how Nintendo has been promoting her as of late. Marth, Lucina, or even Dedede would've fitted in easier. I really think the people making it just liked Samus.

Or Nintendo is hinting that a new Metroid is coming soon. I can still dream.

Come on Super Metroid remake for the 3DS

I'd prefer an entirely new Metroid game.

Me too

But they should also release Metroid Zero Mission on VC

Yeah. Release Zero Mission on the Wii U VC and then give us Metroid 5: Dread for the 3DS. That's all I really want Metroid wise right now.

They did. On Wii U. In Japan. Because Nintendo still hates America and Europe.

Dammit Nintendo. Come on, work faster. We still need Zero Mission, Fire Emblem, Golden Sun 2, and Mother 3.

But Japan hates Metroid! Get your priorities straight Nintendo! Also, everything shouldn't be centralized in Japan. Gaijin Goomba did a video in this already

Japan and Europe both have Fire Emblem 7. More proof that Nintendo doesn't want my money. I had hope that Mother 3 would be coming over after E3, but alas that was a fleeting dream.

For 3DS I just want the Pokemon Trading Card Game. Europe got it, so why can't America?

Didn't Nintendo mention they were making 2D and Prime-style Metroid games?

Miyamoto said they were looking at both to determine Metroid's proper future. Nothing is in development as far as we know.

No. They said there's a place for 2D and Prime style Metroid games. As far as we're aware, they are not working on anything at the moment

If they manage to pull off a decent Metroid after that Other M bullshit I might get it.

Also, I'm grabbing Smash release day. Any other games I should pick up for the 3DS?

And NO, I don't want Pokecrap or Animal Crossing.

Mario Kart 7 is a must buy if you haven't already gotten it.

Mario and Luigi: Dream Team also.
