The A's and C's on top indicate what button was at the bottom of the wiimote. I'm glad they made the right choice with the final design. Like the shiny green color. The Luigi wiimote for WiiU comes closest.
No problem, just upgrade your balance using CC on the Switch and it will show on 3DS and WiiU.
Got no Switch? Shame on you! But you can also upgrade your balance with CC online.
While playing online with friends, you don't want to be disturbed with 'How was your day?', 'Can you take the garbage out?'. 'You never guess what happened to me at the nail salon!'. Best place to play within wifi reach? Exactly. The hall bench.
@larryisanassman Maybe I'm wrong but I didn't notice the New 3DS to improve normal 3DS games. Just on the 'Only for New 3ds' games right? I can't imagine the 'Only for New 3DS' games to be commercially successful. Same goes for the 5 games that where released for DSi. As soon as devs need to work on making their titles compatible for the new hardware, it's a no-go.
Thanks to all the leaks and buildup hype, this reveal is now considered disappointing while providing an upgraded version at the same price is always good news. What did you think, that Nintendo really went for 4K visuals? They make a profit on the hardware because it is their core business, not another column in the total business.
Thinking about this, it's a little bit naive of Goddard to expect that with a team of say 10-20 people, Nintendo would give you the F-Zero IP and take the risk of expanding your team tenfold without having created anything with the expanded team before. Although amazing that the small team created such a realistic effort (!) I feel he should have pitched a project that fitted the smaller team he had at that moment. But it's always easy to look back and see what could have gone better. Looking forward to the VR Snowboarding with super realistic physics!
I would really like to see deviations from the original, like Star Fox Adventures. Planetary exploration for example.
I liked the strategy part of Star Fox Command, but not mixed with action. That's why I loved Starship Patrol on DSi, which took the strategic gameplay from Star Fox Command into its own, excellent game.
If you sat on a million dollar IP and carried the responsibility of your employees and their families, you would have done the same to protect what's yours.
With Lego Mario, you have to make up your own story. Nothing bad about this, but maybe not what you expected it to be. However it could be done; if you could put Mario in a flintstone kart (open bottom) and let it go from a ramp in which the marked tiles are mixed, you can play who collected the most coins.
@Ludovsky The Hyrule world as it is, is somewhat bound to the elements we know from our real life and are already containing a magic touch in the sense that you can control iron, create ice, move earth, teleport, control time, etc. But for real difference in puzzle dynamics you have to come up with different worlds where it feels right in that world. Changing into a wolf, become miniature, become a painting. That also supplies a different society and environment that players can relate to or have to bring together. Alita, Astroboy are examples of that society dynamic.
Advance Wars 1+2 reboot camp: First reaction: Jaw dropping After seeing the game: shame about the art direction After price reveal: glup After developer reveal: as a fan insulted not getting this from Intelligent Systems At dec 3rd: still buying it, playing it, because it will be the only AW available on Switch
Instant buy! In terms of art direction, the units shown in the battle cutscenes are really too much of a single color. Looking at the blue tanks, it's all plastic blue. The yellow army tanks at least have the dark tracks to make up for some contrast. There is no offense in changing this.
@earthinheritor You're right, that's why I'm buying this boxed (if available) and eShop, just to show we care about new stories, new characters and fancy unit capabilities.
Nice looking Amiibos. Estimate them being 29,99 as well skyward sword Amiibos. If you look at the picture and the statue, you see some details missing on Samus's left hand glove and shoulder pads. Let's wait for the final versions. This game looks good as well. Hopefully it plays better than the Wii's Metroid: Other M game.
It blew my mind when the words Orange Star appeared. Then a little bit disappointed about the remaster but very happy Nintendo still knows we are there waiting to be fed. Looking forward to play against the world with online play. That has to be included. Now throw those WiiU eShop Advance Wars games in discount to celebrate!
Not only does the box art looks great but the game visuals itself have been improved upon as well. Less bland, more contrast and lighting improvement. Well done. Instant buy.
Sounds legit. Don't expect to get native 4K games however, but upscaled FullHD. Maybe it could, more in the same way as the 'Only for New 3DS' games. But it would be either VERY costly to produce on cart or take very long to download on your 1TB SD-card.

That's super cute. Even the bottom has a print. Awesome. Fingers crossed this comes to Europe.
Re: Good Smile Is Re-Releasing Its Legend Of Zelda: Skyward Sword Figma Link
Aggressive Link with tummy twist, pass.
1/7th scale thin lips Link, unnecessary as it ended up in bargain sale.

Re: Retro's Cancelled Zelda Game Starring Sheik Resurfaces In Nintendo Gigaleak
Looking at the artwork, this could have been a competitor to Zelda Breath of the Wild, maybe that's why it was axed.

Re: Gabe Newell: Pricing Valve's Switch-Like Steam Deck Was "Painful"
It looks like a cheap retro 300-in-1 handheld that you buy at the Euroshopper. Hardly any s-appeal. Boring color scheme.

Re: Nintendo Won't Say Whether Switch OLED Joy-Con Fixes Drift, So Don't Count On It
No Switch Lite with OLED screen?
Because that system would benefit the most due to the handheld only nature of the system.

Re: Nintendo Switch OLED Model Vs. Standard Switch / Switch Lite: Full Tech Specs Comparison
Did joycons improved on the problems like drift? Did they fixed something? Did joycon battery life improved?
It's not in the comparison.
Re: It Looks Like Metroid's 'Dark Samus' amiibo Is Getting A Reprint
We need more Pikmin Amiibos. Where's Bulborb Amiibo? Probably have to wait for Pikmin 4. Hurry up Miyamoto-san!
Re: It Looks Like Metroid's 'Dark Samus' amiibo Is Getting A Reprint
@link3710 The Samus returns Amiibos are way more expensive than the Dread one.
Re: Rumour: Please Let This Super Monkey Ball amiibo Be Real
And more Pikmin Amiibo! Where is Bulborb?
Re: Rumour: Please Let This Super Monkey Ball amiibo Be Real
Ai ai caramba!
Also a Seaman, Shenmue, House of the dead, Panzer dragoon, Wonderboy Amiibo are welcome.
Re: It Looks Like Metroid's 'Dark Samus' amiibo Is Getting A Reprint
That's not the Metroid Amiibo that needs a reprint. Better do the Samus Returns ones.
Re: We Could Have Had A New "Ultra-Realistic" F-Zero On Switch, But Nintendo Turned It Down

If Wayforward can do something about the plastic one-tone units and contrast of the map:
Anyway Nintendo, we will be mighty fine when this is released both boxed and digital.
