This Nintendo Direct drama is getting WAY out of hand. The Switch is awesome and I’m sure really good games and features are to be announced but all this suspense is ridiculous.
I love how the world is just waiting for the big N to announce it. Just hope there are no disappointments WHEN it happens
In Seattle at the moment and its hard to get a copy. Could download it as I made an American account but a physical copy would be better to be honest. Nicalis give us a release date already!
@jimi It's the developers making the games at the end of the day mate. The WiiU will be known as one of Nintendo's least selling consoles but the developers that saw potential made amazing games. It was a hard console to make games for on a coding level. The Seitch seems to be more indie friendly and its convenient that they make the platform more creative friendly to developers
I think there are some very valid points here. Great article.
I think there is a lot of negative comments about the Switch and the information we know about it. Ubisoft has made games on Nintendo systems and its great to hear their point of view. I don't play Rayman nor I play Just Dance but they are games that do appeal to a large market.
I think there's more to see from the big N in the coming weeks. I doubt Nintendo will just go ahead with just what they mentioned at the presentation after how they faired with the WiiU.
It would be great to get more opinions from guys in the industry
Good video. There is a lot to consider here. I pre ordered mine but set in two minds about it. I think there needs to be more info released in the coming weeks about the online services and it would been great if at least Mario Kart 8 or Skyrim were day one releases as well; since they are pretty much straight ports.
I think they definitely need to address how they are going to market this console since the WiiU was very badly advertised.
Nintendo is an amazing company and always revolutionised gaming as we know it. I do feel a sense of dread however and sometimes think they would be better off doing a SEGA and get it over and done with. I hope I'm proved wrong because the Switch is a dream come true. Only time will tell and Nintendo really needs to up it's game (no punt intended).
1. Different starter types; instead of fire, water and grass. Maybe rock, fighting and flying? Also mix the dual types a bit.
2. Instead of having new Pokemon why not have more alternative evolutions of old Pokemon the way you can evolve Gloom and Slowbro for example. Speaking g of which, Eevee needs a dragon, flying, rock, poison and fighting evolution.
3. Different story formula and definitely MORE post Elite Four. The best thing about Gold/Silver/Crystal was that after beating the Elite Four you had a whole other region to venture as well as more badges to collect. It would be fantastic if they did the same thing here.
4. Make Pokemon fuse or make the mega evolutions permanent.
We need more amiibo that unlock exclusive gear as well as more single player content. It would be cool to have the final boss amiibo that unlocks a new single player campaign
XBOX ONE is backward compatible!...I mean come on. To be fair, Nintendo do their own Direct feeds with news every now and again but did little to impress at E3 this year. As much as I love Nintendo, not everyone wants Mario Maker. I think I was pleased to see Starfox announced. They could at least officially update the world on the amiibo shortages but hey.
does anyone know how to get the free Majora's Mask theme? I Got the MM New 3DS XL with the game but don't know how to redeem the free theme. I know its a code but I don't know where it is or what.
It is a bit annoying how Nintendo have tackled this promotion as many Members will miss out. This is only helping some people make more money on Ebay really, where some will pay twice as much for it.
If anything, and I hope I'm right on this one, it serves as a good indication that the New 3DS is literally round the corner. Expect a Nintendo Direct very soon guys. For those who got the email, hats off guys and enjoy it as you see fit.
Platinum Games are the best! Glad that they are focusing on Nintendo consoles. They truly specialise in beat'em ups (Bayonetta, Mad World, Wonderful 101) and they do a great job. I just wish they had the rights to at least finish off the Viewtiful Joe trilogy….
Guys I know the people who organise these events and they do and amazing job. Its definitely worth going to every single one of them and this one in particular is their biggest one yet!
Just downloaded it for £39.99 when I already downloaded Pikmin 3 so the offer hasn't worked. Maybe it will get reimbursed or I'll get the remainder as a voucher. Anyone experienced the same thing?
By far, the best online Wii game if not the best Wii game altogether. Its been a rollercoaster with Tri; met really cool people, had arguments with others and all the damn Deviljhos in between.

Re: Talking Point: What Would You Like to See From Pokémon Sun and Moon?
Things I would change:
1. Different starter types; instead of fire, water and grass. Maybe rock, fighting and flying? Also mix the dual types a bit.
2. Instead of having new Pokemon why not have more alternative evolutions of old Pokemon the way you can evolve Gloom and Slowbro for example. Speaking g of which, Eevee needs a dragon, flying, rock, poison and fighting evolution.
