So..

I dunno if alot of you guys saw, I watched the Nintendo Direct today but sadly not on livestream, since I woke up at 11 AM CST. OTL

I think my wallet is gonna have a heart attack on February 13th and onward. Since I probably have to trade in my Smash Bros. 3DS XL to get the New 3DS. Too bad I can't get the Majora's Mask version, since they sold out pretty much everywhere about 45 minutes to an hour after the Nintendo Direct. I may get the Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate version, but according to Gamestop, people have to only order it in full pay, and online. So while I was at Gamestop, I decided to preorder Code Name STEAM instead, since I couldn't preorder Robin and Lucina amiibo's yet. But who knows if they'll release more versions of the New 3DS soon to the USA? Maybe I can get a Smash Bros. themed New 3DS XL, so that the only difference is the New 3DS XL and the 3DS XL parts. Doubt it though.

But the games are where it was at, especially the new upcoming Fire Emblem game that was announced at the beginning too! I was a huge fan since it first came out to the Americas, and eventually played the first six games when they we're English patched. I know, I'm such a nerd am I? XD They even have announcements of new amiibo wave four which will have Lucina, Robin, Wario, Pac-Man, Ness and Charizard. Now, I kinda knew Ness and Charizard would be in wave four, since those two we're one of the two amiibo's shown at E3 2014 that we're still in development at the time. But I know I'm automatically sold on Robin and Lucina. XD on the subject of Fire Emblem, Code Name STEAM also announced that they'll have compatibility with the Fire Emblem based amiibo's! Okay, at first I was a bit skeptical about Code Name STEAM at the time, but with THIS, now I have to get it. XD

Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, Splatoon and Xenoblade Chronicles X really got to me for the Wii U segment. I played Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate on my Wii U, and it's alot of fun! So this should be alot of fun too, while I wait patiently for Monster Hunter Frontier G to come to North America. I did love Xenoblade Chronicles and the Xeno games before Xenoblade(Xenosaga was the first I played I think, that game was fun) and the story was overall exhilarating! Xenoblade Chronicles X will be amazing too, just the graphics and gameplay alone got me sold to it! I'm planning on getting Xenoblade Chronicles for the New 3DS soon too. Splatoon looked alot of fun, as a friend of mine was at E3 last year and he spent hours and hours playing Splatoon. XD

So games reading, prepare your wallets for February 13th, but try not to give them heart attacks. XD

Also, on the subject of my own Deviantart, I noticed a growth in faves and other means of feedback on here and it really makes me happy to see that you guys like what I do. So thank you to my watchers new and old. The most recent ones that took alot of attention was the Chrom sprite(s) I made, and it really got alot of positive feedback when I first uploaded it. It was actually my first attempt to making "advanced" sprites like Chrom's. I may plan an actual sprite sheet for him based on attacks and poses based on Fire Emblem: Awakening, so look forward to that soon! Also, people actually asked me if I want him to be on Super Smash Flash 2. While I am a fan of the franchise(love you Mcleod!), it all depends if they want me to. Plus, it would be a long process to do this myself. Though if they do ever consider it and grant him a character, I may have to recruit some fellow spritists to help me out with it. Back before the Lucina/Robin trailer for Smash for Wii U/3DS in July, I did plan out a moveset for him, but I scrapped the idea after the trailer. But until then(if it ever comes up at all), there's nothing going on with Chrom and Super Smash Flash 2.

I also have more cosplay photos planned soon, especially my recently announced Roy cosplay too! Recently, I did consider cospaying as Robin from Fire Emblem: Awakening too, but was scrapped due to Roy being back in process. I may have him as an official cosplay soon, the question is when, and how big will the budget to make him be? That goes the same with the rest of my planned future cosplays. My last convention, Anime North Texas, back in 2014 was my last convention of 2014(those who haven't seen my Anime North Texas 2014 CMV, click here! )from there, since my planned trip to IKKICON was cancelled due to personal and budget reasons, same goes for PAX South 2015. My next convention will be Dallas Fan Days 2015 in February, my cosplay will be Roy from Fire Emblem, so if you're going feel free to say hi! ^_^
