@Akropolon I think I was making an assumption considering our phone IS one of the new USB Type-C devices. So I definitely have some hopes that it will be available to us!
@jswhitfield8 I wish that was the case, but one retailer said to me that dropping the price is not going to happen because the product costs them to buy it from Nintendo whereas Nintendo can price it lower as they aren't buying it from themselves.
I would like to say that I am interested in that console and I will purchase it at some point, but it is releasing on the 28th of July and the 12 final Super Smash Bros. amiibo will take precedence over this only due to the fact that it is not going to become a sought-after item like amiibo figures.
@memoryman3 I absolutely LOVE how the name of that particular department of Nintendo spells out NERD. The little things like that in life are amazing. xD
I am really looking forward to this should it become true as I can play it on a 55" TV as I doubt I would play this on a handheld when I have got handheld versions that suffice.
I think there should be a Miyamoto-themed amiibo figure made to celebrate the occasion and it would unlock him as a playable character in Super Smash Bros.. I am sure everyone would buy it. However I would probably buy two of them.
@8itmap_k1d Yes. Oh my GOD yes!!! I totally agree. xD GAME love their premium prices so that they can rip people off and so I bet that the official RRP is precisely £150.00.
@sjredo I would take what GAME says very lightly in all honesty. They seemed far too quick to back pedal their legal action threat against Laura Kate Dale. I think these prices are correct just due to the fact that GAME wouldn't have threatened anything if they were incorrect.
I could still be incorrect, but hey, GAME wouldn't have cared if the price leak didn't hold any weight to it.
@MadameSpuki I believe you should be fine as they only ran out of figures within the last month or so.
If you ordered in store, check with staff. If you ordered online, I would recommend going with Nintendo UK Official Store for the item.
My friend ordered from GAME and has recently moved his preorder over to the Nintendo UK Official Store due to them not knowing if he would get the figures.
My local GAME said they would make sure I got the figures regardless somehow.
@MadameSpuki Depending on when you ordered it, the figures are all gone as they were Phase 1.
The Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon Alola Region Art Cards are Phase 2. I know as I have contacted GAME HQ and Nintendo as I know people there, don't I @DoctorOverbuild?
@G0dlike That is quite odd... My pre-order was delivered to me on Wednesday the 9th of November from Nintendo UK Official Store along with a second controller and 8-Bit Mario soft toy.
@sleepinglion I would have politely MADE them promise to put one behind the counter for me as I would have been absolutely livid if I had wasted a trip down to a store.
I am incredibly happy with the 31 titles that I have purchased for my Nintendo Wii U as well.
New Super Mario Bros. U Sonic and All-Stars Racing Transformed Disney’s Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Nintendo Land New Super Luigi U Pikmin 3 Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD Sonic Lost World Super Mario 3D World Scribblenaut’s Unlimited Rayman Legends Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze Mario Kart 8 Hyrule Warriors Super Smash Bros. Wii U Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker Mario Party 10 Kirby and the Rainbow Paintbrush Splatoon Yoshi's Woolly World Legend of Kay – Anniversary Super Mario Maker Rodea the Sky Soldier Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival Xenoblade Chronicles X Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD Pokkén Tournament Star Fox Zero Star Fox Guard Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Skylanders Superchargers
I will just post now that I will respect all opinions of members here about Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival, but your opinions simply WILL NOT change the fact that I like the game.
I don't care about official 'statistics' whatsoever. I have loved my Nintendo Wii U from the day that I purchased it in November 2012 and it has pride of place on my TV stand.
These are the consoles that are currently on my TV stand.
-Nintendo Wii U -Nintendo Gamecube -Sony PlayStation 3 (60GB)
I have space for the Nintendo Switch (which I have pre-ordered already) and the Sony PlayStation 4 Pro as well.
@Tsurii They have already done the Retailer Exclusive DLC as they decided it would be absolutely AMAZING to give costume codes to three separate retailers for Hyrule Warriors back when it released.
Nintendo UK Official Store received the first costume pack. GAME received the second costume pack. Amazon received the third costume pack.
I managed to get the Nintendo UK Official Store costume pack with my pre-order and someone at GAME HQ gave me a spare code for the GAME exclusive costume pack. 2/3 isn't bad.
I have just had my town valued up by Tom Nook just to see how much it is actually worth.
Tom Nook just appraised London as worth 368,018,066 Bells. ...The look on his face was absolutely priceless when he added it up to nearly 400,000,000 Bells. Hehe.
I actually used to be quite the loyal customer with nearly £70.00 on my GAME Reward Card, but now I am starting to come away from GAME as I am totally sick and tired of being charged more than necessary for games. (I saw a Nintendo DS game still priced at £24.99 in one of their stores)
The Super Mario Maker incident has completely put me off for any future purchases at their online store.
A retailer that I regularly shop with now has got GAME beaten by £7.13 per Pokémon Sun or Pokémon Moon Fan Edition, however they do not get the figures because GAME hog all the exclusives which is not really fair.
That is basically it... My summary of modern GAME.

Re: PQube Is Bringing The Hyperkin SmartBoy To Europe
@Akropolon I think I was making an assumption considering our phone IS one of the new USB Type-C devices.
So I definitely have some hopes that it will be available to us!
Re: PQube Is Bringing The Hyperkin SmartBoy To Europe
I see this will work on the Sony Xperia XZ Premium. Excellent!
I know GameBoy games are not overly complex, but that phone is equipped with the latest SnapDragon 835 processor and 4GB of RAM to boot.
Re: Guide: Where to Pre-Order Your Super NES Classic Edition

I have helped six people including you get a preorder for this item today.

Re: Be Quick And Snag A SNES Classic, Nintendo Official UK Store's Listing Is Live
I managed to get my preorder in for this device at 3.34pm.
That was merely TWO minutes after the availability email arrived in my email inbox. xD
Re: Guide: Where to Pre-Order Your Super NES Classic Edition
@Jack_Goetz LOL I thought so...
Thanks! I am quite satisfied with that price.
Re: Guide: Where to Pre-Order Your Super NES Classic Edition
@Jack_Goetz I assume "swivel" means what I think it means and is just a more polite word? xD
Re: Guide: Where to Pre-Order Your Super NES Classic Edition
@Jack_Goetz No problem. I just did not believe that to be what it would eventually be and my luck has done it again. xD
A preorder for £4.14 cheaper than retail price at £75.85.

@Filth_Element Yes. EBGames

@legendwaker Peach and Bowser also did this same thing in Super Paper Mario.
Re: Official Nintendo UK Store Offers a Free Soft Pouch With New 2DS XL Pre-Orders
I would like to say that I am interested in that console and I will purchase it at some point, but it is releasing on the 28th of July and the 12 final Super Smash Bros. amiibo will take precedence over this only due to the fact that it is not going to become a sought-after item like amiibo figures.
Re: Nintendo Switch UK Tour Confirmed, Starting in June
I will attend my local events just to be there to support Nintendo.
I don't ALWAYS agree with them, but I am a fan through and through.
Re: The Pokémon GO Adventure Week / Rock Event Starts 18th May
@RupeeClock That was merely just a pun to be fair.

Well, that event announcement was certainly Onix-pected.

Re: Poll: The Wii U is Four Years Old, But What Is Its Legacy?
@HefHughner I will still care about all of my consoles regardless of any results.
I have my Nintendo Gamecube.
I have my Nintendo Wii U.
I have my Sony PlayStation 3 (60GB)
These three consoles are specifically in my room for backwards compatibility.
I have a reasonably large library of video games spanning many consoles.
Re: Rumour: New Version of Pokémon Sun And Moon, Pokémon Stars, Is Coming to the Nintendo Switch
I am really looking forward to this should it become true as I can play it on a 55" TV as I doubt I would play this on a handheld when I have got handheld versions that suffice.
Re: Shigeru Miyamoto is Now 64 Years Old
Happy 64th Birthday Miyamoto-san!
I think there should be a Miyamoto-themed amiibo figure made to celebrate the occasion and it would unlock him as a playable character in Super Smash Bros.. I am sure everyone would buy it.
However I would probably buy two of them.

Re: Rumour: Nintendo Switch Game Cards Limited To 16GB Size
@Menchi187 Lol yes it's understandable.
It has always been harder to interpret text compared to speaking in person after all.
I would never want to start ANY type of conflict whatsoever after all.
I am the sort of laid back person who is at their happiest simply chilling on YouTube after all.
