/t/amiibo is still waiting for me to reach level 6 before I can start adding a banner and making it super fun, although I do plan on updating it once I am back home from work and can take a picture of my collection.

I don't know how I feel about this. On one hand I don't feel like spending another $40 on the game. On the other, Hyrule Warriors on the go sounds like a great idea.

Either way, I'm buying it...

There exists a Biography of Peter the Great that is stellar. I just finished reading that and it is really quite good.

If you are interested in certain countries or time periods I can help you out as well. I have quite a library developing and can suggest books on stuff you are interested in based on that.

If you have ever played the Zelda CDI games Link speaks in those. He also speaks in the animated series which, though not a good series, is really funny to watch as a Legend of Zelda fan.

Smash 4 is crazy because I have been playing random, however I have had great success with DeDeDe, Megaman, and Robin. Smash 64 I main Fox, his cartwheel kick is too good in that game. Melee I main Link. Melee was my first Smash game and Link was my favorite character. Me and my best friend would one on one Link vs. Marth until we both were in a trance. Brawl I didn't play much once PM came out. I enjoyed Snake in Brawl, and played a lot of Ness as well. If we include PM, then Ivysaur.

Sm4sh has a lot of good options to main, as far as I can tell.

"Old Man Grants His Wisdom"

Attacks can include magic teleporting powers, fireballs, gifting swords that stab his enemy, shoddy Japanese translations, and his final smash could have him shooting 8bit fireballs out of lanterns at other players (who, in turn, would become 8bit sprites of themselves)

I can understand all the reasons why not to put him in, considering he has only had one game and it isn't nintendo exclusive and he is not really an icon of any sort, but... Shovel Knight. (I know, how original). Although I do believe DK needs some more love. A new Zelda character would be cool as well.

Also, Yes to Simon Belmont.

I've been super excited for No Man's Sky. Seems like it has a lot of options open for how you can play the game. I'll be going for a more Star Trek style of exploration as opposed to getting into constant fights and battles.
