I want a feature that allows us to play dress up with James Newton's avatar, a la Mr. Potato Head.

I'd like if the site had a robotic voice that could read off news stories for me, since I hate reading.

I just skim-read this topic and the overwhelming reaction I came away with is "we want more features for Nintendo Life."

Is this a fair summary?

Features that would be useful, yes. I mean, even Search Tools, PMs, and maybe Friends lists would be a perfect start. Those are common forum tools that promote community growth, and right now, people have to jump through hoops just to get the same results.

I can confirm some of these features will be available in a future update for the Nintendo Life forums.

@ChickenBrutus I would also like this feature.

That's very good to hear. Personally, I'm satisfied, but I'd love to hear what other people would seriously like to see.

Didn't care about more options when I first joined but since I live here now I wouldn't mind exploring more options.

Those will be released in the updated, and much groovier partner site: Kinectaku. NL will get them.

I hate when sites give you a blog as part of signing up, as if you're actually going to use their feature-void ad-supported blog, instead of Blogger, Wordpress or Tumblr.

I don't mind them since I only use them to make personal lists that I can easily access with the click of a button without anyone else seeing them.

You realise you'll only be funding his operation to have his skin dyed blue and have spines attached to his back, right? Don't do it D:

Also I'm totally calling him Mr. Potato Head from now on.

Here's how I like it: set your icon, create your own threads, post comments (pictures and videos too) on whatever you want, and occasionally, use a chat room.

No user blogs, user reviews, user galleries , user video galleries, or, dare I say it, clubs.
I absolutely cannot stand user blogs (or admin blogs) considering that all they have to say is "Guess how many sandwiches I found in my couch today!!!!!!".

But they're always put in out-of-the-way areas so you don't have to bother using or viewing them. I don't see why having them available is a problem.

The "search" feature on Destructoid disagrees with you. The last time I used it (about one year ago), it listed the user blogs and user reviews along with the official reviews. Also, it didn't say whether a review was user-made or mod-made, so I didn't find out until I read about half way through the article, and realized how horrible the review was. (please note that I was just stating my opinion, not asking the Heads to never add these features)

I don't really mind it either way, if there's extra stuff I'll use some of it, but at the same time I don't really need it.
