I wish the very best for everyone affected by the invasion as well. This is really, really depressing for sure.
@Tyranexx Oh I see, I guess you've ordered from Nintendo's online store? I recently got a couple My Nintendo rewards from there, I finally got my hands on the platinum and gold coin pin set. I got the Switch game card case too. Ah yeah I recall you saying something like that. It's ok, we all gotta deal with personal space and everything.
Ah I see, so the touch screen at least displayed properly. Yeah, I wouldn't use screen protectors back in those days, and the touch screen on my original DS pretty much got broken. I think my brother had that Guitar Hero game as well. Ahhh, I'm sorry to hear, so the pick stylus must have caused it huh? Didn't know it came with that.
I've had a couple of games from Nintendo's online store & those came from Ireland for whatever reasons.... Not like it really makes much difference to anything, they both arrived with the post on release days
Yeah, it's merely somewhat curious that was where the games came from, @CactusMan .... As long as the stuff gets to me, I don't mind where it comes from! I just wonder why they have some depot there & not anywhere in the rest of the UK
@Tyranexx You know Galea being the infernal guldo is indeed a popular fan theory. It makes a lot of sense to me personally...I mean why else would they show that scene of Rex holding the ID y'know? I wonder if we'll get more insight somehow in Xenoblade 3
I am attempting a triple shiny hunt across SwSh, BDSP and Legends over the next few days: Shelmet in SwSh through Shiny Charm Masuda Method, Tyrogue in BDSP through chaining and Qwilfish in Legends through perfecting the dex entry. Pray for me.

Apologies for being a bit late with responses, having too much fun playing Pokemon X.
@Tyranexx I'll say, and I don't even have pirated or fake carts either. The few times I order online, I'm usually careful to avoid fake carts too. Closest I get to emulation are official releases, like the Sega Classics on Steam or the few SNK games I have on GOG, both include files that can even work with their respective emulators (had to do this as DotEmu's own Neo-Geo emulator was choppy for King of Fighters 2002).
@MarioLover92 Yup, that's the developer I remember seeing when I rented the game. Usually I just enter the code into Movies Anywhere, and the movie shows up on my Movies Anywhere app to download or stream, I can also watch it on linked accounts such as YouTube and Vudu. For example, I registered Trolls on Movies Anywhere, and was watching it on my TV using YouTube on Switch, and I also have it downloaded on my phone. It's pretty cool, you can stream or download.
Yeah, that's why I actually want to get it for that e-Reader stuff too. That's why it's a must have on my list. Nice to hear the 8-bit Sonic 1 is one of your favorites, I have Triple Trouble on my 3DS as well, and Sonic Blast and Tails Adventure (both I had as a kid for my actual Game Gear).
The resident Trolls superfan! Saw Trolls Band Together via early access and absolutely loved it!

Update: 450 eggs in for Shelmet, still no shiny even with the Shiny Charm. 1/512 odds aren't looking in my favour at the moment.

@Sunsy No worries. Glad you're having a good time with it. Oh that's awesome to hear. I saw that you can download movies from Disney+ to your device as well. That'd especially come in handy for stuff like plane trips.
That's cool. I have most of the Game Boy games from my childhood right on my 3DS, those being Super Mario Land 1 and 2, Donkey Kong '94, and the Game & Watch Gallery games. Plus stuff like the first Wario Land, which I never had until it came out on the 3DS VC. I have Tails Adventure on my 3DS as well, that's the only Game Gear game I have for it.
@MarioLover92 Lmao, who's really good at shine thief anyway.. phooey 🤪 But yea, it'd be great fun to play some battle mode together!!
@WoomyNNYes Ahh.. I actually like the one you now have currently. I know you do like your extreme sports ^^! I mean cmon... we play RL together XD.
@Sunsy OH heck yea. Let's gooo.. FENNEKIN. That's wild. I wish I still had a GBA sp, oh sweet childhood. Yea, I mean I'm just thinking as a Nintendo fanatic and how we would LOVE to have DS or even 3DS games directly supported on Switch. And... DOH! Totally misunderstood, I thought you still had it. I do have clothes from literally a decade ago, so I feel it lol. Oh and do have fun with X, I'd be blasting that 3D
@Tyranexx Yes yes, I hope you had a splendid time And LMAO. "Tsk tsk, too many Core Crystals" That gave me a good laugh. You had a bit of a difficult time with Amalthus? I kinda stomped thru him XD. I do love the whole Amalthus and Jin death scene. Something about Amalthus reaching up asking why he was forsaken and how he misses his mother, really just gives you feels. I know you connected a bit more to Jin's death, which was yea really sad. (Especially once you go through Torna) Again, oppositely, I was surprised by the wasteland that I kinda thought would be the evergreen Elysium they we looking for. YUP. YUP. Crazy cutscene, eh! This cutscene was one of my favorites, the whole concept of a connected world and Klaus' story was a wild ride. At the Finale! Forward to Elysium.. Enjoy Tyra ^^!!
@TheJGG Wow! I quite like it, I enjoy that it has a bit of a different feel to the original. It feels more guitar-y and synthetic. Really cool rendition man, keep the tracks burning(sword?)!
@MarioLover92 I've ordered the occasional physical award over the years, though it isn't common. I also ordered Age of Calamity directly from Nintendo's site when they were running it at a slight discount awhile back. Kinda wish I'd waited since Amazon and Walmart caught wind of that particular sale, so I could've avoided paying for shipping. Oh well. Glad that you finally got your hands on those pin sets! I considered the case but don't need it yet...Maybe once I start collecting secondhand loose carts.
I didn't really like or want to use screen protectors back then, and to an extent I'm still that way; I do use them, but only on touch screens. I don't like how gummy they make the screen look and feel. The first Guitar Hero: On Tour came with that pick stylus and a guitar grip for the GBA slot. Unfortunately, needing that peripheral is why the games can't be played on anything after the DS Lite.
@VortexeoI have seen that theory floating around since viewing that scene; it's certainly plausible, but nothing explicitly confirms it either. I do hope that XC3 provides more insight. Not only on that tidbit, but other details I'm noticing now that I've practically beaten 2.
@Sunsy When I briefly got into retro GB/GBC/GBA collecting, I was very careful with online orders too. Thankfully, my acquisitions all appear to be legit. Same here on emulation, though once I get a better PC I'll probably emulate a few titles that will likely never make it here (CoughMother3Cough) and a couple of those insane Pokemon ROM hacks out there, like Vietnamese Crystal, TRE, and Prism.
@tekoii Heh, you might wanna wrap some of your reply to me in spoilers since I know another user is playing through the game right now. I was a bit underleveled when it came to Amalthus, but I still think some of his moves are meant to just troll the player. The dude either kept HEALING himself if I couldn't get off Blade combos just right, or killing a member of my party and causing me to deplete some of my gauge to revive them. But that scene full of death really hit home. It was certainly powerful. As for Elysium, this isn't my first JRPG rodeo, so I suspected not all was as it was talked up to be. I went back and rewatched that cutscene with Klaus/The Architect, which definitely helped with mental processing lol. And thanks! Hoping to reach the end credits today.

@Tyranexx GAH! EVERYTIME. lol.. Spoiler tag you won't get me this TIME!.. Anywho, that's interesting that Amalthus is a bit more difficult at a relative level and has such a robust move-set. I didn't know cause I was over-leveled and obliterated him lol. I mean... he has been quite the troll the whole game so the move-set suites XD. A lot of these scenes are why I'd say XC2 is backloaded with some of the more interesting things here at the end. Have a blast with the end It'll be interesting seeing your next reply!
560 eggs deep for Shelmet and I'm starting to think this maaaaaaaaaaaaaaay have been a mistake.

@tekoii That'd be rad. I just played MK8D with a friend of mine tonight. Maybe we could play tomorrow night or so!
@Tyranexx Yeah. There's not nearly as much physical rewards as Club Nintendo, and I think they sell out quickly. Ah I see, that is good you still got it on a discount, at least. I'm glad I got them too - especially the pins!
The only time I used a screen protector was on my Switch, it's one of those glass-tempered ones I think. They're surprisingly really hard to put on. One of the DS games I have, Mega Man ZX, lets you insert either Mega Man Zero 3 or 4 into the GBA slot so you could fight some of those games' bosses in MMZX itself. That's the one feature I lost since I only have my 3DS. I think Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection brought that feature back, if memory serves me correctly.
@MarioLover92 Ayy. I'll see if I can tomorrow.. got a few things to do, specially that big ole Calculus test coming on Monday. But hey if not, we'll find a good time. Be nice if anyone else here wants to join us Some racing and battling sounds like a (bob-omb) blast.
@MarioLover92
I need some suggestion for Megaman Network GBA games that I found from Wii U eshop before they will get removed on next year. I didn't grow up by that series but I was curious with the games recently. To see a lot of version on GBA with Pokemon style (multiple version) I was wondering which version should I get for the easiest and better features.
I cannot take all the Megaman Network GBA games as I only used the eshop fund leftover (probably US$ 10) to buy 1 Megaman Network GBA any version after I will purchase Yokai Watch 3 3DS USA version from 3DS eshop.
@tekoii Ah...your test's after the weekend, huh? It's ok if you're unavailable tomorrow. No pressure whatsoever. Yes, I'd be glad to play Mario Kart with others here, I have quite a few people from the NL boards on my friend list. Best of luck on your calculus test - you got this!
@Anti-Matter I like the Mega Man Battle Network series, it's a pretty solid series overall. I like the cyberspace theme and the battle system. I would recommend playing the games in order since all the games have interconnecting stories. MMBN1 and 2 are standalone games, it wasn't until 3 where they started having two different versions. For MMBN3, I think the blue version is the more polished of the two. For 4, 5, and 6, they have different navis you could use for the Double Souls/Crosses, as well as a different Beast Out form for 6. I'd recommend looking those up to see what they are. Other than that, it ultimately doesn't matter.
@MarioLover92
Okay, I will check the gameplay of Megaman Network GBA version from series 1 until 6 on YouTube and I only can pick one game since I have never played that game before and I have to make sure I can enjoy the game from the version I can choose.
@Tyranexx I completely forgot about this but writing a note reminded me. It's from almost a year ago, I saved this bit of text for when you got around to playing Xenoblade 2. It's about a particular character design, so here it is... And of course when you combine the two designs you get their ascended state, which has a green and black colour scheme, which is the opposite of red and white. Plus, Pneuma is completely covered, because of the contrasting nature of Pyra and Mythra's armour.
Food for thought... maybe. I kept it for a year so... surely!

I can't believe they put Pokemon into Breath of the Wild 2! First Sonic and now Pokemon! What's next, Mario?
Joke aside, Pokemon Scarlet/Violet reveal left a smile on my face.
@MarioLover92 Yeah, it's not exclusively streaming, but it is a cool system since I have my movie linked on all my accounts. Didn't know Disney+ did that. It is handy, I keep both Trolls movies and one of the holiday specials on my phone because of it.
Cool, I got reminded of Super Mario Land yesterday too. Was humming the tune to World 1-1 as I left home yesterday. This closure is really reminding me of games I haven't thought of in some time. I use to play Super Mario Land a lot as it was my first Game Boy Game.
@Tyranexx Same, the few games I ordered online were legit. Neat, I pretty much only emulate those PC versions. As mentioned DotEmu's official emulator was really choppy. Thing with SNK PC games, it's hit or miss. Twinkle Star Sprites (my favorite Neo-Geo game, wish more would play it) ran properly, King of Fighters 2002 didn't, so taking the files from King of Fighters 2002 to a different emulator helped the game perform properly.
@tekoii Even playing some Pokemon X right now, played a bit while waiting for the Pokemon Presents. Definitely, it's sad to see the Wii U eShop go since DS was possible on that due to the gamepad touch screen. Sometimes that does happen with me too, I have some old shirts from when I was regularly watching My Little Pony. I still like it, and did watch the more recent Netflix movie. I've always wore characters I like, actually I have on a shirt with Poppy from Trolls on as I type this. Should have wore my Pokemon one, but it's too cold for short sleeve.
