Re: Pokémon GO Creator Niantic Taken To Court Over Beach Mobs

I mentioned this on Twitter, but could I politely request for this picture to be changed as soon as possible? It shows two Pokémon from unreleased games, for which I (and others) have been trying to go spoiler-free. Nintendo Life has, up until now, been very good at this sort of thing, which is why I still check them out in this season. There are thousands of beach-related Poképics out there that don't spoil upcoming games.

@syrupdash I was a fellow N64/NGC/NGamer reader, and I feel that ONM got a lot better when (a) it stopped being NOM and (b) Matthew Castle took over, bringing his NGamer lack of reverence with him. What Kate says about the atmosphere in the office was exactly how I imagined NGamer's atmosphere being - a bunch of guys throwing stupid jokes around and making funny features with (towards the end) limited material.

Miss 'em both.

Re: Seven New Pokémon Revealed for Pokémon Sun and Moon

Appreciate the headline and pictures that let us remain unspoiled if we so choose, thanks gents.

I chose not to, which is good because it means I won't be disappointed. Quite like the elefairy, but there are some shockers there (and I'm not just talking about the electric types).

Re: E3 2016: Hideki Kamiya Has "Spent A Lot Of Time" Thinking About Bayonetta 3

Okami 2! Okami 2! Okami 2!!!

Or possibly 3, since Okamiden was actually pretty good considering its hardware. Not as magical, you understand, but pretty good. Pretty and good.

Oh to hell with it. Okami 2! Would have been brilliant on the Wii U, with gamepad drawing for the Celestial Brush, but I'll take it in any form that doesn't require wrist-wanging in combat.

Re: Leaked Legend of Zelda Image Shows Link Scaling New Heights

Chaps, it'd be really really nice if, in the future, you could avoid posting ANYTHING leaked as a thumbnail. Leak culture has heavily damaged the sense of wonder and surprise that E3 has previously expired, and while this is a relatively benign example (two days), I'd still liked to have found it out through its natural source. Title of "New Zelda Picture Leaked" and a past screenshot, and you'd still have had thousands of hits because it's bloomin' Zelda without slightly spoiling stuff for people such as myself.

Zelda still looking grand, hope that Nintendo can pull it out of the bag and make me excited for things to come. I could do with a bit of a Nintendo pick-me-up at the moment.
