squashie commented on Feature: 3DS - A Report Card Ahead of Its Bigg...:
I love my 3DS! I always thought it had great potential, and this year alone has completely proven that. I think that with time, the Wii U will take the same path.

squashie commented on Review: Solomon's Key (Wii U eShop / NES):
It's been years since I played this one, I should give it another go!

Shovel?

Awesome games from Hugo! I have spoke to him many times, a very nice guy aswell!

Yay! You can never have enough Harvest Moon!

squashie commented on Talking Point: Why Nintendo Life is a Part of ...:
Can I ask, is this program for US journalists only?
#7
squashie commented on Crash City Mayhem Hits the 3DS eShop in Europe...:
@skyluigi2 Absolutely! The free-roaming was my favourite part of LEGO City Undercover, so I may take a look at this!
#8
squashie commented on This Mega Man 25th Anniversary 3DS Case Sure I...:
I've never tried Mega Man (does that make me a bad person) but nonetheless, this case looks truly awesome!
#9
squashie commented on Rumour: SpeedX 3D Sequel Driving Its Way to 3DS:
@DePapier No problem! I'm a huge fan, so I had to find out!

#10
squashie commented on Rumour: SpeedX 3D Sequel Driving Its Way to 3DS:
I loved the first game, so I reached out to Gamelion and they have infact confirmed the game! http://www.nintendofeed.com/2013/04/news-speedx-3d-hyper-edition-is-coming.html

squashie commented on Nintendo of Europe Offers Free Game in "So Man...:
Wait... I have three of those games from the eShop! Free game for me! Which one...
#12
squashie commented on Talking Point: The Arrival of eShop Download C...:
At first, I was extremely against the idea of going digital, but now I'm actually really loving it - plus with these being cheaper, it's brilliant all round!
#13
squashie commented on Talking Point: Fire Emblem: Awakening - The Bi...:
If I'm honest, I'm actually playing through it in Casual at the moment and It's really good fun!
#14
squashie commented on Nintendo And GAME Hosting Multiplayer Mayhem E...:
Hmm, I may be able to attend, still they're all a little bit out the way for me!
#15
squashie commented on First Impressions: The Legend of Zelda 3DS:
So James is purely an "unscrupulous Nintendo employee now"?
#16
squashie commented on Review: Dillon's Rolling Western: The Last Ran...:
I never even tried the first game, it just didn't look like my cup of tea really!
#17
squashie commented on Nintendo To Deliver New Homes To Animal Crossi...:
Gosh, getting very excited now...
#18
squashie commented on Europe Receives Fire Emblem: Awakening Puzzle ...:
I already have my review copy and I'm quite enjoying it to be fair, it's not everything I expected though.
#19
squashie commented on Review: NAM-1975 (Wii Virtual Console / Neo Geo):
I had never heard of this before, but that's quite a strong review!
#20
squashie commented on Hardware Review: 3DS Circle Pad Pro XL:
It certainly looks more stylish than the original, but I don't feel that I need it yet. Otherwise, a great review!
#21
squashie commented on Rumour: Ni no Kuni Could Yet See A Western Rel...:
I do like the look of the series, and I'd like to give it a try - so a 3DS release would be super awesome!
#22
squashie commented on Nintendo to Pull the Plug on Several Online Wi...:
It's a good while since I've used any of those channels, so it doesn't make much difference to me!
#23
squashie commented on Ubisoft's E3 2013 Conference Dated:
@Sony_70 Hopefully dates should follow for the big three, but Nintendo are usually last with their dates.
#24
squashie commented on Ace Attorney 5 Release Date Accidentally Revea...:
@skyluigi2 Everyone loves Professor Layton over here, so I'm pretty sure that any game with him in is guaranteed a western release.
#25
squashie commented on Skylanders Giants Toys Munching Their Way Into...:
I'm in the UK, and I don't play Skylanders, however, that's quite a good promotion really!
#26
squashie commented on LulzSec Members Who Hacked Nintendo Plead Guil...:
They didn't mean any harm for Nintendo? Even hackers love Nintendo! Still, I don't like what they do, and it gives a bad name to people who have a real passion for the internet.
#27
squashie commented on KORG M01D Music Workstation Hitting 3DS eShop ...:
I am not musically talented in the slightest, but I do enjoy messing round with things like this. However, if the price is too high, I'll be avoiding!
#28
squashie commented on Interview: Michael Pachter On Wii U, 3DS And T...:
Meh. Call me old fashioned, but I still down't like him!
#29
squashie commented on Video: This Animal Crossing: New Leaf Trailer ...:
Enough with the trailers Nintendo, I'm ready for this now!
#30
squashie commented on EnjoyUp Shows Abyss Running On The Wii U:
I never tried Abyss, but this does look interesting...
#31
squashie commented on Rumour: Dr Kawashima's 3DS Prescription Delaye...:
I enjoyed the DS Brain Training games, but the delay doesn't make a huge difference to me because I will wait until it's reduced slightly anyway.
#32
squashie commented on Review: Harvest Moon (3DS eShop / Game Boy Color):
I love the Animal Crossing series, so I'll be picking this up as soon as my eShop card arrives!
#33
squashie commented on New 3DS System Update Now Available:
I hadn't suffered from any of the issues, but I will update soonish anyway.
#34
squashie commented on Former Nintendo President Hiroshi Yamauchi Slu...:
Nintendo's shares have dropped but I'd imagine the amount that Yamauchi owns also has.
#35
squashie commented on Nintendo Set To Host Mysterious 3DS Event In A...:
Yum! I hope there will be more New Leaf news! Unbelievably excited for that one!
#36
squashie commented on UK Retailer GAME to Sell Tablet Devices:
Archos make quite cheap rubbish and many people know that. I don't think this should cause great concern for Nintendo. Myself, I'm a huge Tablet user, but that more aids my Nintendo gaming than hinders it.
#37
squashie commented on Feature: A Short History of Luigi:
Luigi, he's quite a guy!
#38
squashie commented on Feature: Nintendo Life's Staff Favourites - NES:
It's great to see Bubble Bobble on there! It's a great game, still, SMB. 3 deserves it's top spot.
#39
squashie commented on Review: Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate (3DS):
@Geonjaha Still, it's worth it for the online play!
#40
squashie commented on Review: Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon (3DS):
I have been playing this for a good while now, I personally awarded it a 10/10, it is a spectacular game and puts Mario to shame!
#41
squashie commented on Review: The King of Fighters '98 (Wii Virtual ...:
I have played some King of Fighters in the past and I actually quite enjoyed it. However, I doubt I will pick this one up.
#42
squashie commented on Review: Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate (3DS):
Hmm, I think the Wii U version is considerably better really.
#43
squashie commented on Hardware Review: Oyen Digital MiniPro 1TB Hard...:
I doubt a TB is really necessary, but it does look very nice...
#44
squashie commented on Talking Point: Review Scores and Unwinnable Ar...:
Admittedly, I always check the score first. But as a game reviewer myself, I do try and avoid looking at any scores before writing my review, as I don't want anyone else's score to influence mine.
#45
squashie commented on Terra Incognita Could Come To The Wii U If Kic...:
@Kohaku I can't really even see why that much is needed to develop a game quite small like this!
#46
squashie commented on Terra Incognita Could Come To The Wii U If Kic...:
Looking at that video, the game doesn't strike me as anything unique. It looks fun(ish) I suppose...
#47
squashie commented on Daisuke "Pixel" Amaya's New Title, Gero Blaste...:
The graphics look gorgeous, however, Nicalis games like this haven't had much luck in the past making it to Europe. Which is a real shame. Hopefully, we get it though!
#48
squashie commented on Review: Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge (Game ...:
Doesn't look like a bad game, however, I think it has really slipped through the net!
#49
squashie commented on Legend of the River King:
@AyeHaley I am also a huge fan of both Animal Crossing and Harvest Moon, so much like you, I decided to pick this one up. Whilst, it isn't Animal Crossing, nor is it Harvest Moon, it is great fun if you like either series. Do give it a try!

Is there anywhere where your Hardware collection stops Damien?
