Looks good... Assuming that it comes to the Wii U, I'll definitely keep an interested eye on it and with positive reviews add it to my library

You were like "WHOA!"
And then we were like "Whoa!"
And then you were like "whoa..."

My boss's message notification on a certain fruity smartphone sounds like multiple coin collection pickups one after the other. Think it's actually built-in to the thing - he doesn't strike me as the type to download something personalised... Think I might start playing the NintendoLife videos loudly in the office just to confuse him

Can't deny I'm wondering if I can use this in conjunction with my Rum blog. Wonder if you can pose your Mii in a mildly intoxicated state next to a bottle with a speech bubble review in Miifoto and then post it to Twitter
Forget Wee Dram, it could be Mii Tot

The face of the green box with the headphones reminds me of De Blob... I miss that game and think it would have been a perfect fit for the Wii U...

Jetpack for me anyday of the week. Don't have the balance for a hoverboard and would love to fly through the sky like Cliff Secord...

As much as playing (and losing) Splatoon is frustrating at times, I still love this game. However, considering I still haven't even started Yoshi's Woolly World, yet alone anything else since, because this game is like crack, I've vowed that I'll stop if I either get to S+ or Level 50 which ever comes first. At just over half way through level 47 and having dropped back to A- the other night, never having got past 90 points on rank A+ I suspect it'll be level 50 first... Squid Sisters rule

Looks good enough to spend some of my hard earned eShop cash and like @SuperCharlie78 said I'd be happy to see online leaderboards

Always thought there was more to this game than the E3 trailer and am happy with what I've seen. Yes, I'd have preferred it on Wii U and in a similar style to the main Prime games - imagine HD Prime environments - but I'm certainly not going to hate on it for not including Samus...

@wazlon Agreed, not a big fan of a lot of the smart device games I've seen. Ninty have had a mixed bag in my opinion... Although I'm quite hooked on the stupid 3DS badge game, but only to see if I can get all of the Splatoon and Zelda badges without paying a penny

@OneBagTravel I'd say that Nintendo are hoping to reach more than just the Nintendo converts with their smartphone apps, hence having a new accout system that can be linked with various options (NNID, FB, Twitter, etc.) - Makes sense to me...

@wazlon Pretty sure it's a free to play app with in-app purchases, so no need to buy it...

@Grumblevolcano Been wondering that for a while myself...

@Zoda_Fett Just had the same thing with not being asked for an email or being prompted to login to my Nintendo account which preregistering for Miitomo. As best as I can tell it's not an issue if you went to the Miitomo site while you were still logged into your Nintendo account... At least that's what I'm hoping is the case

@Shirma_Akayaku As much as I understand your concerns, as someone who works in IT, I'm actually impressed with Nintendo's honesty on the subject. Short of unplugging the network cable, the mouse, the keyboard and the monitor there's no way to make a server and its data 100% secure. But most companies don't admit that, so fair play to Ninty for their willingness to be open...

A combination of two of my favourite things - what's not to like. Very well put together

My money's still on a 2017 release with awareness built up in the next fiscal year... But hey what do I know

@Zup As long as you're supporting those that do, I don't think anyone would hold it against you

@Mr_Diabolical Not sure if you're just trolling, not having even played the game or if you're expressing an opinion based on having played it? If the latter I can respect your entitlement to your own opinion, even if I and a lot of other gamers would disagree with it. Personally I've never found another online game that's kept me so engaged and entertained... Splatoon is in my opinion one of the freshest and best games in years and I'd love to see what the development team has up its sleeves for future games

So assuming that Splatoon does overtake MK8 (yes, pun intended) in Japanese sales, how many people would have predicted that when Callie and Marie first started singing?

@Mus1cLov3r Fair to say I think @Kirk is simply stereotyping, as a lot of teenage boys of about 15 do tend to have a reputation for a lot of angst and disrespecting stuff just because...

Pretty sure he wasn't directing it at you - not like he asked your age in his first message

Way to go @Elijah_and_Lisa - Your story reminded me of a chapter in my own life that started in the Kazaa chatroom, but in my case 4700 miles was too much for us to overcome... However I'm really pleased for you both and wish you all the best for your future together...

Merry Christmas everyone and huge thanks to the Nintendolife team for all your efforts throughout the year

@Splatburst What he said...

@gamermole Pizza Express have done / maybe still do one or more pizza's with a Béchamel sauce instead of the traditional tomato sauce. Pretty good to be honest and is still technically a Pizza

@YoshiTails You misspelt Worst mate. You almost got it, you had the s and the t in the right place, but there's no b or e in Worst

@NoEasyBuckets What you said
As it happens I like Pineapple a lot - just not on my Pizza... So I'm with Marie

@ToneDeath Went into a Multimedia store in South Africa last week and saw loads of Nintendo merchandise - but not a single Ninty game or console... Let's hope that your remark doesn't come to fruition worldwide... That would be a sad day...

Me likey likey... Can't wait to play Mahi Mahi Resort - looks awesome, although so does Museum d'Alfonsino with all the moving platforms...
Only drawback, I basically don't play anything else these days :-s

@Operationgamer17 Yeah, I wondered about control schemes. And thank you for the subtle reminder of the name of cross-play Mind had gone blank

For everyone else - is the game any good? Would entertain someone who's spent virtually every gaming moment since May playing Splatoon?

Do we know whether PC users and Wii U users will be able play online against each other or whether the online arenas so-to-speak will be separate? If same could be good for Wii Ugamers as that would surely mean more opponents to play against...

Woohoo

@themightyboost if you concentrate on the head only, then your suggestion may hold water, but if you look at the rest of the body - it's a like for like match (ignoring the colours)... So I don't think any amount of artistic licence would cover that one...
Although in fairness I think Ninty would be more peeved at the political association (especially if the group holds extreme views) rather than the image copying

@RaiRiggs @Raichu Sorry to be so picky guys but as a huge Pixar fan, I'd just like to point out that Planes was a Disney movie, not Pixar... While Planes was inspired by the world of Cars, it didn't have the depth that Pixar's Cars did...

Saying that, Cars wasn't exactly Pixar's best movie... But it was still miles ahead of Disney's Planes...

So from a movie point of view. I'd pick Cars for the Splatfest, but from a real world point of view I'd pick Planes because that's the only way I can get to Hawaii

Having stupidly missed the goodbye coin (my own fault) I spent my 5000 points at weekend on MK8 Soundtrack, the HD Pikmin Shorts and the Lots of Toads theme... Then blew the last couple hundred points on wallpapers and ringtones because I could

Not sure I've always been happy with the decisions I've made for some of the physical rewards (looking at you MK8 pin set) and still a bit sore about losing nearly 10,000 points back in the day because there really was a lack of things to pick up, but overall I've been fairly happy With Club Nintendo so fair well old quirky friend - let's hope your baby brother is more to everyones taste...

Sounds like we need a petition - #SaveJapaneseSquids, although in fairness someone might think we're trying to stop them eating a local delicacy - Maybe #SaveJapanSquidKids instead then...

In all seriousness though, I like having people from all over the world to play against and quite frankly from my experience of playing late in the evening / early hours or first thing on a Sunday morning here in the UK, I need the Japanese Squid/Kids to make up teams...

In terms of better players - not sure, but they certainly appear to put in a lot of hours - most of the Level 40+ / S+ Rank players tend to have Japanese names.... But does that make them better or just have less of a social life - I don't know...

#SaveJapanSquidKids

What @Zyrac said

Silly dilemma time - just logged in to my stars account and got offered the link your accounts thingy (which I thought was already linked, but anyway). So those 750 points have taken me to 5000 (no more points available - everything I have is already registered)... So now, do I just spend the lot on a MK8 trophy (a thing to just sit on a shelf) or do I get several smaller things that will most likely have some degree of interaction... Hmmm, decisions, decisions...

I know that NoE's choices for Splatfest aren't as cool as the NoA Transformers options (Roll out Autobots), but is there any consensus on Singing or Dancing?

Nintendo says "Open your wallet and close your eyes" - I say "Yes please"

Damn stupid little plastic things that I just feel the need to get... At least I got my pre-order in

@Calllack Did I miss a new weapon type and do you have to squeeze the weapon to shoot - "Hooters"

Looking forward to trying this new map out

Finally started winning ranked mode matches on Moray Towers last night, so not as daunted by this news as I would have been before... Great news for another map

@BakaKnight @Nicolai Not sure I'd call it fair sport Besides for those of us who mostly play Ranked mode we're not exactly going to see sudden increase of level 10 players... Pretty sure it would take more than hour of play to get to level 10... I'm also wondering whether they'll fence off those playing the demo, otherwise it'll be be like shooting fish in a barrel...

@stinky_t Subway is an American chain and from experience of both a bit better in the States...
Back on topic I've gotta say that I'm looking forward to this, although I suspect I'll mostly be trying out other people's creations rather than making many myself...

@IceClimbers Nintendo would probably have included download sales... The figure in this article is could be excluding download...
@Grafeaux Same here - despite getting and wanting to play Yoshi Wooly World day 1 - I can't put Splatoon down to play anything else... And hey 16% of Wii U owners are Fresh Squid Kids and the rest are just Smelly Fish

@Zach777 It's not all hate for Moray Towers - It's one of my more favourite maps

Jane Doe Amiibo anyone???

Looks bonkers Bonkers Good...

Despite having bought all weapons below 10,000, I'm still running around with my trusty Tentatek Splattershot... I probably should change it up occasionally... But I do still welcome additional bits of the game being unlocked... Helps things to Stay Fresh

Just in time for Splatfest

@edgedino @GumbyX84 Nothing so complicated - try this:
When you're on the Lobby page (with the appropriately Smoky status), press the HOME Button to open the HOME Menu.
Select the Miiverse icon from the HOME Menu.
From the game's Miiverse community, tap "Post."
Select the screenshot icon located in the upper-right corner.
