@Cotillion Wish I still had all my old Nintendo Official Magazines since the NES/SNES days and then N64 Magazines, which Wil Overton was involved with!
Fantastic, can't wait! Every time I go to WH Smith's at the train station I find myself looking for a Nintendo magazine, even though I know I won't find one! And the only multi-format they've got now is boring Edge! Total gamechanger!
Just hope they can delay the release a bit during this current crisis so it actually gets some sales.
Miitomo was so much fun as an actual positive social media app. I loved reading my then girlfriend's answers to Nintendo's well designed questions and trying to make her laugh with my own. In that way it reminded me of the early days of Facebook back when Walls were a thing and silly apps were rare enough that all your mates would use the same ones and you could learn a lot of fun things about each other and enjoy each other's sense of humour.
I don't think the "game" was well built for longevity though. Also, I don't think it was Nintendo's best game of the decade and I don't think you do either - this is just one final troll in your Miitomo career of trolling isn't it!
They remind me of self-appointed Victorian theorists who espouse swallowing a tapeworm to eat your body's food for you or claimed that bald people were bald due to their diet - the commonality being unsubstantiated claims based on shoddy guesswork. And, as with the Victorian theorists, people discuss their views as if they have anything worth saying when most of them are clueless!
@Quarth Let's face it, Carlton would think videogames are beneath him, or he would finally discover Pac-Man as his first videogame this year and get addicted as if it was crack.
This looks like a lot of fun and I like hearing from a team who aren't ashamed to recognise the classics and put their faith in the fact there is still a market for platform titles (as DKC, Mario and Spyro and Crash remakes prove).
I also like the wacky idea of the alien race turning up in the prehistoric era and the caveman getting his hands on their jetpack technology - a charming gimmick and setting that I haven't come across before.
Looking forward to hearing more about this - I hope Nintendolife will do a review.
@BANJO It does suck but I was also having a little word-based joke with you. The word you're looking for is "roster" so the main point of my message was to make a "rooster" "cocked up" pun 😀

Re: Switch Could Enjoy An Extended Lifespan And Even Outsell The Nintendo Wii, Claim Analysts
@SBandy It's amazing how often they're wrong, such as in this article from T3 last winter: https://www.t3.com/news/this-is-why-you-shouldnt-buy-a-nintendo-switch-for-christmas

Re: Future Versions Of FIFA On Switch Could Be Legacy Editions, Just Like FIFA 20

Re: FIFA 20 On Switch Will Be A Scaled-Back "Legacy Edition"
@BANJO With merely said "rooster" update for 2020, one might even say they "cocked" it up 😎
