Are you breeding for IV's? I started doing that not so long ago, it's pretty time consuming but it's worth it if you plan on doing online battles. Let me know if you need anything from Y since that's the version I have.
As a 1up survivor, I too was looking for a new place to call home while frantically trying to save my blogs. I'm just glad I was able to call this place my new internet home. Alot of the people I knew from 1up move here so I was glad I was able to see some familiar faces, but I met some new ones as well. I'll write something about this hopefully today so I'll keep this short. But congrats Pixlbit and congrats everyone!
Nice, let me know your NNID so I can give you mine.
The only reason I'm excited for the new 3DS is because my 3DS may break anytime now, it's pretty old and I've had it since launch. I've been wanting to get a new one cause my Circle Pad doesn't work well which isn't good cause of SSB, the 3D Slider is off but sometimes the 3D is on, it freezes often, sometimes the wireless doesn't work well, there's this scratch on the screen that's because of the design, and the volume, you can hear the game sounds or music despite sometimes the volume being in the off position. I guess I'll have to hold on for a while longer till the new one arrives.
On Xenoblade, I have the Wii one but I'll most likely get it to see if they added anything new. Shulk for SSB, well he was leaked but now that we know he's officially in the game, the leaked roster might have some credibility. As for Mr. Iwata, despite all the hate he get's, you have to admire how much work he puts into the company despite going through that health issue. He definitely needs a rest.
I've heard of Lootcrate, it's really neat but too tight on cash at the moment. I may get on that at some point. Nice stuff, Raph is my favorite turtle too.
Had no idea the blogging and commenting was broken. But yay it's fixed.
I'd join but I'm too tight on money to get it. I'll join when you guys put together a Mario Kart 8 one.
I think it's easy getting gold, you have to play each course at least once to get the feel of the track that way you know which paths to use next time you race. Also, faster parts are a good idea but try using something you can actually handle in terms of turning. As for stamps, you get a new stamp every time you complete one grand prix cup with a new character, every character has at least 1, including your Mii. You can check how many stamps you have in the main menu, it will show your total stamps in the bottom. You can also press the + button to see which ones you'll have, that way you can tell which character stamps you are missing. Each character has 2 stamps, but you'll only have one for each at the start, which is why you need to use a different character to get their other stamp. Gold parts, good luck getting those. There are 3 in total, a gold kart body, a set of golden wheels, and a golden glider. You get the kart for getting gold or getting at leat 1 star on all cups on all classes. The wheels are awarded for beating all ther Nintendo staff ghosts, and the glider is a pain cause you need to have collected 10,000 coins in total. The problem is that you don't know the totla number of coins you'll have, the only way to tell is when you unlock a new part cause it tells you like you've collected 100 coins, here's a new part so you'll have a rough estimate. The last part you'll unlock is at 2600 or 2800 coins, after that you'll have to guesstimate yourself. Good luck getting those parts though.
*Raises hand* I've had it since launch and it's certainly the best one to date. I've been playing it everyday since and I've gotten gold on all cups and all the 3 stars in all the modes. I've also beaten all the staff ghosts with only the standard parts without using any of the mushrooms. I also have all the stamps too and got all the golden parts so in a way I've mastered the game. I've also dabbled in the online stuff with some friends and it's pretty fun, I've used the tournament thing only once during the San Diego Comic Con tournament and it's fun too. As for favorite character to use, Rosalina. I use her in every game she's playable. If anyone wants to race, let me know.
The Gamecube controller is hands down my most favorite controller, the d-pad is what made it suffer, other than another Z button. And that's why I like the 360 controller over the PS3 one since it looks like MS took everything from the GCN controller and made it better, and it feels like one too including all the button placements.
On the new controllers, my opinion is invalid for now since I haven't had a chance to at least use a demo station of the PS4/XB1. But I've had the Wii U for almost 2 years and I love the Gamepad. It's really useful. As someone who only has one tv for gaming, the off tv play is extrememly useful as it is the Wii U's selling point. I can either play or watch a video on the Wii U's gamepad when one of my bros are either watching something or using a different console.
It has it's flaws like the shoulder buttons, I wish they were like a GCN controller's buttons. I think I need to send mine in to Nintendo since one of the analog sticks on mine doesn't function well, sometimes ait works and other times it likes moving my character or kart to one direction by itself.
