I haven't seen a good face plate or a good theme. Hopefully in the future they do a better job.

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile




Well, if I decdide to get a New 3ds or not, I won't get any of those because they are not compatible with NN3DS XL lol.


I can be easily satisfied with my Zelda XL and the Amiibo peripheral.

Considering Zelda = good, but I'm open also to Metroid face plates.

“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
