Xbox and Playstation did the same thing with their old-gen consoles right before the new-gen consoles released. In this case I find it a lot more reasonable since the Switch doesn't look like it'll have backwards compatibility unlike previous consoles like the Wii and 3DS. People have been asking for a new-gen DS that can play the 3DS library, not have that stupid ass "3D" feature and have that clamshell hinge for better portability for quite some time now and seems like Nintendo intends to deliver on those features which is pretty cool. My only gripe is that they chose now of all times to develop and release something like this. The 3DS didn't sell nearly as well as the original DS Lite due to a lot of totally redundant features like 3D. In the end people just want something they can play the new games on without having to buy some expensive as hell console with a bunch of features they will probably never use. I've only recently purchased a 3DS from a friend for just 100 bucks so I can play the new Fire Emblem game and the Pokemon games which is pretty weird considering I paid like 75 bucks for my PS3 about 3 years ago. Refurbished 3DS go for around 200 some dollars still so you can image the consumer's problems with finding the right console at the right price. They don't want to buy the dumb looking 2DS that can't fold up but doesn't have that stupid 3D feature but they also don't want to drop 200+ dollars for a 3DS which can fold up but has that stupid 3D feature.

You and me both. My friend who pulled Azura and Ryoma pulled another Ryoma... Wasn't Xander supposed to have Vantage or something? I'm thoroughly disappointed that he doesn't.

Naw Robin is gonna clean house. Even the creepy tsundere doesn't stand a chance against him.

Yeah this is nothing compared to what I did as a kid. I used to be so paranoid about people finding out my personal information, I'd cover my IPod Touch's front-facing camera with a piece of masking tape because I thought they could spy on me through it. I mean they technically can if they have the right tools but... Oh shit...

Ohhhhh shiiiiit new Voting Gauntlet is coming up and my boy Robin is gonna win. Those other features look pretty neat too especially that weird permadeath(?) mode.

Honestly amazed of how often this subject is ignored. The US has one of the largest incarceration rates in the entire world it its costing us a metric shit ton of money. Prisons are being filled to the brim with small time offenders getting mixed in with the real hardened individuals. Since when was that ever a good idea? Not to mention it costs even more money to expand and build entirely new prisons to house more criminals. I'm with Chase on improving the education system. There's a pretty big reason why crime is so prevalent in inner cities like downtown Chicago. As somebody who grew up near that area I can tell you the school systems aren't worth shit there. Meanwhile the area gets turned into a full blown war zone with the amount of illegal firearms, gang violence and other stuff that would probably land a person in jail for the rest of their lives. I sorta disagree with pop-culture influencing criminal activity though. I mean plenty of people play violent video games but you don't see all of them exhibiting violent tendencies that would get them in trouble. Most people are bright enough to keep that stuff to pop-culture and carry on as productive citizens. I think the real influence comes from the individuals who commit crimes and aren't punished accordingly for them. They end up getting others mixed up in their shit and cause even more damage. We need to focus more on redefining how our justice system "rehabilitates" people. If they don't get any help they'll definitely end up starting shit again and going back to prison. At this rate we're creating more criminals than we are incarcerating them.

This fuckin banner, man... One of my friends pulled Hector and another pulled Azura AND Ryoma in their first go. Meanwhile I wasted all my orbs on the Ike banner and pulled dogshit.

*Sigh* First pull and didn't get any of the new banner characters. I got a 5* Cordelia which would be cool IF I DIDN'T ALREADY HAVE ONE THAT HAS BETTER IVS.

God fuckin damn it I blew all my orbs on this last banner and ended up with pure shit now Ike is getting featured in the new banner? Some rotten luck.

Yeah Naverre isn't super great, I tried building him into glass cannon with Life and Death but he's really not that impressive. I scrapped him for his Threaten Speed and Desperation.

Not to mention un-modded Fem-Robin is a total pain in the ass to use.

Nah keep Fem-Robin. IMO it'd be pretty pointless for your anti-Takumi/every colorless unit be super weak against Takumi and archers. Both Robins are fairly bulky with no huge weaknesses.

Defense mode and enemy reinforcements will be introduced soon. But permatdeath will never be a thing in this game. I can guarantee it.

@Hukuna the Undying Well 29 is pretty damn low for an armored unit. Some infantry units even manage to surpass 29 defense. She's going to get picked off by green units and even some archers without being able to catch up with them.

Probably the easiest GHB by far. Beat both difficulties in one try.

LIQUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIID white out is great for correcting mistakes.

Honestly don't see how people consider Rein such a huge threat. Just have a green unit and play defensively. Bait him in then crush him with your green unit. Of the units I currently possess here's how I'd rank them. 1. M-Robin: The ultimate deterrent against Takumi. This guy has swept so many teams I honestly get bored of using him sometimes. Still need to give him Bowbreaker but even without it he completely destroys any colorless and red unit and blue unit with relatively low res. 2. Lucina: An interesting alternative to a healer if you give her Reciprocal Aid which makes her super handy in the Arena since healers are kinda lame. Also does tons of damage against most units. 3. Olivia: Pretty self explanatory. Dance and Hone Attack easily makes her one of the best support units of all time. I plan on giving her Seal Def or Seal Spd as a sort of suicidal debuffer if shit really hits the fan. 4. Cherche: Currently my go-to green unit. Pretty much invulnerable against any lance unit but on the contrary is pretty weak against Blue Mages. She is pretty versatile as a damage dealer/tank and can provide some minor support with Draw Back and Threaten Def. 5. Cordelia: I don't actually use her that often but I think if I make her sort of a super mobile support/damage dealer she can find a place on my team. Probably will ditch Triangle Adept for either Darting Blow or Death Blow and give her Hone Spd as support. 6. Setsuna: Doesn't really have a very practical use as of yet but she's super fun to play with especially if you got units with Rally Speed and Hone Speed. Really wish I pulled a Klein or a Gordin so then I could give her Brave Bow+. She is really fun to use against armored units granted she won't always kill them in one turn but its hilarious just watching her just pepper them with arrows. 7. Spring Lucina: Also have trouble finding a reason to use her over M-Robin. Since she doesn't have Triangle Adept she is slightly better at taking down green units with relatively low res. I think I'll set her up as a speed buffer and pair her with Setsuna. Also super funny to see her dunk on enemies with that egg.

Give S Camilla Triange Adept and Gronnraven+ and boom, you got a fuckin flying anti-meta death machine. The -spd is more reason to give her something else as an A skill.

First pull of the new banner annnnd I got didn't get any of the new characters... But hey I got a new Setsuna so its not a total loss.
