Buy for Captain Toad

One of my favorite Amiibo unlocks so far. This adds a new mode in Captain Toad Treasure Tracker (a game I had already completed and shelved) where you can hunt for an 8-bit Toad in the levels. Gained a bunch of new time with a game I thought I was done with.

The Skylanders games are fun... but know that you aren't getting a full game when you buy it. You need to buy multiple figures beyond what's included to get through the game and the $ adds up fast

It's Crosswords... what more do you want?

This is one of those games where the reviews can't really decide for you if you want to buy it or not. It's exactly what it advertises... a giant collection of digital crossword puzzles. If that's appealing to you, then grab this because the interface is smooth and it's probably cheap. You can't really ask for much more than that.

Great... if you like this style of game

Think Animal Crossing in a swords & sorcery world... or more accurately Rune Factory but with a fleshed out job system. It's an RPG with some elements from The Sims. If any of that sounds appealing to you, you'll dig this game.

The delicate balance of the Triforce has once more been rattled and the Hyrule Kingdom has been plunged into disarray thanks to a dark, menacing power led by the evil Sorceress Cia. The beautiful, innocent Princess Zelda has been cruelly captured and is being held prisoner against her will. It is up to you — as the brave and daring Link — to come to her rescue, battling large armies and ravaging entire legions in your pursuit to free Princess Zelda.Hyrule Warriors combines the intense, exhilarating gameplay and action of Dynasty Warriors with the well-loved characters and worlds of The Legend of Zelda series, allowing you to play as your favorite character from The Legend of Zelda, including Link, Zelda, Impa or Midna. Perform flashy moves to carve your way through huge groups of powerful enemies. Push back classic enemies and newly introduced enemies alone or play alongside a friend in local co-op mode, facing approaching armies together. Defend and recover recognizable landmarks from multiple games in The Legend of Zelda series, such as Hyrule Field and the Palace of Twilight. Progress through the epic storyline to unlock new playable characters that each feature their own unique moves and weapons. Rescue the captive Princess Zelda and showcase your warrior skills in the legendary Hyrule Warriors.

Unexpectedly good

I'm a HUGE LoZelda fan. I still remember begging my dad to buy me the first one after reading about it in the Nintendo Fun Club magazine. However, I've never once played a Dynasty Warriors game... which is really what this is. Now, I can't imagine this game would be as fun with generic overpowered warriors battling a generic enemy army, but with the Zelda skin on it, I'm enjoying it a lot more than I originally thought I would.
Important note - Don't go into this expecting the usual exploration / puzzle solving of the Zelda series. This is all about large scale battles, and if you're into that then you'll have a blast.

Not perfect, but better than expected

I originally planned to only get the game on Wii U, but a Club Nintendo promotion for a soundtrack and Best Buy promotion for a collector coin, plus the fact that the 3DS version was releasing first, convinced me to just get both. When I tried the demo a week before release I panicked. The controls made the game almost completely unplayable for me. I kept my preorder anyway (REALLY want that soundtrack) but expected I would probably trade the game in shortly after release. After spending about 4 hours on my first night with the game, I've decided to keep it.
The full version of the game allows you to customize the controls, which helps a lot... but any long-time Smash player will tell you that the GameCube controller is still the best setup for this game. There's a reason Nintendo is releasing a GameCube>Wii U controller adapter that works with JUST THIS GAME. Even for new players, the controls are much easier to learn that way - the giant round button in the middle is for your main attacks, the smaller round button next to it is for your special attacks and the kidney shaped buttons above are for jumps. The identical round buttons in a diamond arrangement have become a standard setup on controllers now, but the GameCube controller just feels like it was designed perfectly for this series.
Beyond that, the game has everything the old ones did and more - more characters, more options, more customizations, more game modes - and all of it makes the game feel wonderfully fresh while still also being perfectly familiar and easy for long time players to jump into and feel right at home.
The only other gripe I would add is one I've heard from many other people... when the action spreads out too much (common in 4 player match-ups) the characters get way too tiny, and identifying items becomes nearly impossible. I'm playing on an XL... I can't imagine how bad it must be on an original 3DS or 2DS.
All that being said, it's still an amazingly fun game and definitely a success for the first portable outing of the series. A couple minor gripes but they're small sacrifices to make in order to be able to SMASH on the go.

Step into games and movies with this Samsung Gear VR Innovator Edition 60-3446-05-XP, which is designed for use with Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 edge cell phones and delivers brilliant 3D, 360° visuals that immerse you in entertainment.
a vr headset for my Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5?
Is there a virtual reality headset that's compatible with my tablet, a Samsung Galaxy tab S, 10.5?
No, and I doubt they'll make one. Wearing a full sized tablet in front of your face in a device like this would be heavy and awkward

Bluetooth Controller required?
Can this be used without a bluetooth controller or is it required to buy one separately in order to use this VR headset?
Depends on the game. There are a few in the shop that require a controller. Most can be played with the buttons on the side of the headset, but it's a lot easier and more fun if you do have a controller.

Will this work with the Samsung Avant?
Will it work with the Samsung Avant and will it affect my cellphone bill?
I have tmobile pay as you go and ATT WiFi at home?

No, this product works ONLY with the Galaxy Note 4.
Only thing on it that affects your bill is the software you purchase and the data for any download time that goes with it.
