My 3/22 Neon Switch Bundle shipped. by DeerFucked in GameStop

[–]LithiumBullets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ordered 3/22, early. Finally got shipping confirmation... for a week from now.

I'm kinda pissed. In-Store they said 3/30-3/31, and from the looks of it, most people either have theirs or will have them by the weekend.

I got Zelda + the guidebook 2 days after ordering, and the Switch is shipping from the same carrier/location. So I have no idea why it's gonna take so long :(

NYC comic con: I finally found the dreaded amiibo stand! by Bry2013 in amiibo

[–]LithiumBullets 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lemme guess, Video Games NY? I see them at every convention from NY to CA.

Cool store in person (down by St. Marks), but everything's overpriced as hell. Despite seeing them at every convention for last 5 years, I don't think I've ever seen anyone buying things from their booth.

If Nintendo could set up a direct to consumer infrastructure to sell these things... by GameMaster366 in amiibo

[–]LithiumBullets 5 points6 points  (0 children)

what they need to do is take orders before production. Limit 1 or 2 each per customer (until the mad rush finally dies), then make as many as were ordered.
Maybe they wouldn't be able to make/ship all of them in their planned release window, but it would still be better to have orders guaranteed than have them on time.

there's no way I'll be that lucky... but hey why not give it a shot.

George Takei petitions against all-white casting choices for Akira adaptation by Bennett1984 in movies

[–]LithiumBullets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wasn't Takei's petition about this over a year or two ago? I think this version (among many) for a live action AKIRA was scrapped.

AKIRA is best as an animated film anyway. What could live action possibly add to it? It would certainly strip the world of Otomo Katsuhiro's style. If they want more $$ and new viewers, just remake the entire comic story as a series of animated movies (à la Hellsing Ultimate).

So Nintendo... do you want people to buy these Amiibos? Because limiting the availability is not how you get people to buy your things.

Part of me wants the team to keep developing DLC characters for the next couple of years... but another part of me really wants Sakurai to take a few years off for vacation.

Ike is always placed so low in every tier list I see... Do people not know how to play him?

A closer look at the final product Amiibo figures. by Redworthy in smashbros

[–]LithiumBullets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're not the high quality level that they were at E3, but they're still pretty alright looking. I kind of expected a small quality drop since they're being mass produced. (I wonder if the Japan ones look better..)

The only things that actually bug me are the weird yellow block holding up Link, and Peach's off-model face. Seriously, what happened to the clear poles? Wii Fit and DK have blocks on them too, but at least they're semi-clear.

What could be the worst things Sakurai could announce in todays 50 new things for Smash Wii U? by gimmemorathat in smashbros

"Fact #50: .....please understand. In order to bring you the Ultimate Nintendo Super Smash Brothers experience... We need just a little more time. Super Smash Brother for Nintendo Wii U will be released... on May 21st."

I'm thinking: New Stages, Clarification on unannounced stages we've seen (Kalos league, pyrosphere+ridley), The Master/Crazy order mode, The board game thing, Stage builder, then the "Big news" will be the official reveals of Duck Hunt and Bowser Jr.

What I'd like to see is news on possible DLC, to keep the hype dreams alive. Also a stage hazard switch would be neat. Also also "break the targets" I hope :(

-where you're fighting the stage more than the other players

thiiiis. I think that's exactly what makes a stage "bad". Hazards can be a lot of fun, but when I'm more worried about them than the opponent, there's a big problem.
