The thing is though... is that most of the retail game eShop discounts (e.g. 30% off full RRP price) is still not even cheaper than the price you can find it online!
Anyway, I was never expecting 3d on mario game styles that never were 3d so I'm not fussed about that... but what I am fussed about is the lack of features, I'm not getting it because I have the much better Wii U version.
@BLPs It may be Nintendo's smallest market, but there's a lot of Nintendo fans that attend EGX every year. Many Nintendo fans that go to EGX every year is disappointed to see that Nintendo is not gonna be there this year. Nintendo UK attended hyper japan this year so why not EGX as well?
@Grumblevolcano I was looking around on twitter, and some tweets said they emailed EGX and they confirmed that Nintendo isn't gonna be there... and apparantly people working EGX has confirmed it as well.
The games they would have to show may be a bit low at the moment, but they have zelda breath of the wild and paper mario colour splash on Wii U... and on 3ds they have games such as pokemon sun/moon and more! Nintendo UK attended hyper japan expo this year so why not EGX as well!?
Sony is able to price the PS4 slim at £259. So really Nintendo has no excuse for making the NX less powerfull! And this writer said HDR is not a big difference compared to normal HD... wrong, it is a massive difference! look at the comparisons... the difference is amazing! and I watched the playstation meeting on my 1080p TV... just because your monitor isn't 4K, that doesn't mean you can't see the difference in the stream! But yeah obviously you can only truly tell if you look at a real 4k monitor. Overall I thought the playstation meeting was good.
Even if you don't have a 4k tv, the games will look better and run at a better frame rate and it will run better. You said there is a split between pro owners and original ps4 owners... how? There will never be exclusives on the pro (as Sony is not allowing it). There is no segregation online either.
Lol I've been thinking about this for days and days! It's great that you made an article and poll about this! Yeah... I really want a conference, that would be the best option!
@Wonder_Boy The difference is, is that we got an awesome Pikmin game recently (Pikmin 3). So really we're not overdue for another proper Pikmin game at the moment anyway
Clearly Nintendo isn't happy with Wii U's sales! I really wasn't expecting this on 3ds... I'm not getting it because I have the Wii U version, and the Wii U version is better anyway
That £4.49 for streetpass premium is finally worthwile! I just brought it! I've been waiting for them to increase the character limit for ages and it finally happened, I'm so happy! The other premium features are nice as well. Thanks to streetpass relay points, I get lots of hits, it's now rare for me to get someone walking by but now it's hard to tell if I got someone from a relay point or by walking past... would have been good if there was a symbol to tell.
I chose to get racers for free. The others I will buy it in the bundle but not yet, because I am busy with puzzle swap, battle, garden and fishing!
I gave up on mansion because I got stuck on a hard enemy (I might restart it) and zombies I can't be asked for that.
Mario Kart 8 is £49.99 on the eShop and the My Nintendo discount is 15% off. So 49.99/100 = 0.49
0.49 × 15 = 7.45 (£7.45 discounted)
So the discounted price is £42.54. That's still waaay more than the price you get it for at retail!! I can find a copy for £35 on Amazon! Also, I can buy the download code at game.co.uk for £39.99. NOE seriously needs to sort out their digital pricing!
It's absolutely ridiculous that you cannot earn points from physical games, bring back the redemption codes Nintendo!! And physical rewards too! It's even funnier that they increased it to 12 months because they recognise there's nothing much to redeem it on.
@rjejr lol the bit about them bringing it to EGX wasn't a prediction, but a statement of hope, obviously someone who's gonna be going to this expo is gonna hope for that 😉 and who knows, maybe it will come to TGS.
I can't wait to see the real information from Nintendo!! I think October would be too late, so I think the NX will be revealed sometime in September at least a week after Sony's conference.

Re: Nintendo Appears at Apple Conference to Announce Super Mario Run
@rjejr Maybe it's pointing to DLC? For example, you can buy DLC within a game on console but does that make it free-to-play? Nope.
Re: Nintendo Appears at Apple Conference to Announce Super Mario Run
Hope it comes to android because if not... I can't play it. Android is better anyway

Re: A New Pikmin Game is Coming to 3DS

Re: A New Pikmin Game is Coming to 3DS
I like it! I doubt this is Pikmin 4, if it was then it would have been called that in the direct. I wonder if Miyamoto is directing this one?
Re: Yoshi's Woolly World Will Soften Up Your 3DS In 2017, Poochy amiibo Also Incoming

Re: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword is Out Today on the Wii U eShop

Re: Nindies and DLC Included Among New My Nintendo Rewards in Europe
@Commie I brought it for £60 at launch because I got the blue shell limited edition.
Re: Nindies and DLC Included Among New My Nintendo Rewards in Europe
We need more than just discounts and 3ds themes!!
Mario Kart 8 is £49.99 on the eShop and the My Nintendo discount is 15% off. So 49.99/100 = 0.49
0.49 × 15 = 7.45 (£7.45 discounted)

Re: Feature: What We Expect From the 3DS Nintendo Direct - 1st September
@Grumblevolcano yh it's something being released soon so they will probably talk about it or at least mention that it's releasing October 7th!
But Nintendo has something else that they are releasing soon in March, this needs to be talked about too! cough cough NX cough cough
Re: Feature: We Learn More About Atooi, Chicken Wiggle and Future Plans
Chicken Wiggle looks really good! I can't wait to see what Atooi produces in the future!
Re: Jools Watsham Unveils Chicken Wiggle - A Platformer and Level Creation Tool Coming to 3DS
Looks good! The graphics looks similar to his other games including mutant mudds
Re: Feature: What We Expect From the 3DS Nintendo Direct - 1st September
@ThomasBW84 On Nintendo UK's website, they said they aren't discussing mobile. Here: http://www.nintendo.co.uk/Misc-/Nintendo-Direct/Latest-Nintendo-Direct/Nintendo-Direct-698557.html
Re: Yooka-Laylee To Make Playable Debut At EGX 2016
@rjejr Or there's always the possibility of Nintendo doing their own event?
and the 3ds was revealed by Satoru Iwata at E3 2010!
Re: Random: Apparently the 'New Galaxy Style New Nintendo 3DS XL' is Perfect for Style Savvy Fans
lol is it just me... I think this design looks really nice! Better than my metallic blue New 3ds XL
Re: My Nintendo Extends Validity Period for Gold Points
It's absolutely ridiculous that you cannot earn points from physical games, bring back the redemption codes Nintendo!! And physical rewards too! It's even funnier that they increased it to 12 months because they recognise there's nothing much to redeem it on.
Re: 3DS Nintendo Direct Confirmed for 1st September
@rjejr Or maybe Nintendo will do their own event and conference.
Re: 3DS Nintendo Direct Confirmed for 1st September
lol this got me for a second 😂 as soon as I saw the words "Nintendo Direct" I thought it was the NX reveal... ahh when is it gonna happen 😣
when it does, I think it will be at a conference because that's more suited to a console reveal
Re: Sources Indicate That the Nintendo NX Will Feature a Social 'Share' Button
@LandOfZeldtir yh that would be great, I hope they bring back codes in physical games as well!!
Re: Sources Indicate That the Nintendo NX Will Feature a Social 'Share' Button
@SmashbrosFtw1306 Yes! I completely agree! The NX needs achievements!!

Re: Yooka-Laylee To Make Playable Debut At EGX 2016
Cool! It doesn't matter what version is playable, as long as I can play it then that's fine
I predict that the NX will be revealed after Sony's conference but before the end of September, so hopefully Nintendo will bring it to EGX!
Re: Reggie Fils-Aime Reveals 'New Galaxy Style' New Nintendo 3DS XL, Out in North America This Week
