RealGamingExpert said: I'll write down my first impressions with Skylanders Swap Force! Maybe someone cares! Its a really fun game actually! It has a lot of cool ideas and some puzzles which are really easy. The battle system isn't really challenging yet, but its fun! The story is also ok i guess. However, one thing really annoys me. Every few minutes you get to an area where you need a specific skylander to even enter the zone... They are really rubbing that into your face and nearly forcing you to buy the damn figurines! I feel like im missing out on a lot of content just because i don't have any additional skylanders. I mean its a full price game! Why don't i have access to all the areas in the game? They are really trying hard to cash in on the skylanders... Pretty sad.

I'm mostly loving what I'm hearing.

I got Skylander's Adventure & Giants for 3DS, but haven't played it yet. Plus I still have to get a non-3DS version of the game, because both the 3DS version, and non-3DS version, are 2 different games.

You can check out the 3D effect in Nintendo Show 3D in the eShop on the 3DS, just type in:

Show 3D

And you get all 40 or so episodes.

Im not gonna bother to get any extra toys, because I don't have that kind of cash without sacrificing not buying other games, and the user made it sound like its not as important as they are trying to make you think it is.

You should definitely use Action Replay to unlock those areas without no stinken toy, LOL but true.

Woah! Vgchartz was down for me for a few hours...
However, Ghirahim will be an assist trophy in Smash!

Also amazon revealed, that after gamescom the wii u was the console who picked up the most in pre orders!

Especially Hyrule Warriors and Smash for 3DS have gotten a lot of new pre orders after gamescom!

Just how did Gamescom help Nintendo the most? Doesn't make a lot of sense.

Wii U (console, not games) pre orders went up the most, atleast thats how I understand it!

Games like Smash, Splatoon and Captain Toad probably convinced a lot of people to buy the console!

Wasn't Smash Bros. also voted 'Most Wanted' game at Gamescom? I feel like I remember hearing about that a few days ago.

Yeah it was!

Seems like people are really hyped for it!

Says he will share more over the next few days, so we'll have to be patient...  http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2014/08/reggie_fils_aime_accepts_ice_bucket_challenge

I heard that you had to wait 4 hours to play Smash Bros. Wii U or Hyrule Warriors. As already pointed out, Smash got the Most Wanted Consumer Award.

There was also a Mario Kart 8 tournament with some of the most popular German YouTubers. 3 of them have over 1 million subscribers and they featured the tournament on their channels.

That might be why Bayonetta got 1000 preorders this week. That would be quite the feat if the preorder charts were accurate.

I sure hope so... If its accurate, then it has already more pre orders than Bayonetta on Xbox 360 / PS3.

Lets see how far it can get!
