Thank you for your kind reply, it means a lot to me.

I wanted to pass along my experience and perspective to hopefully help people understand it a little more. Through my years of counselling, I have learned that one of the most important parts of overcoming and living with it is to talk about it as candidly as possible. Suger coating only serves to lessen the severity of a person's troubles, and makes people think they don't need to help as much.

We need to stand up and say "I am in trouble, I really need some help" and be ready to accept it when it comes. It's difficult, and even now I have days where I shut myself down on everyone, but I try to let that happen as little as possible.

I think you'll find this with most things. Negativity is more publicised than positivity. One man screaming in an empty room would be more noticeable than a temple full of silent monks.

My personal opinions on the whole affair is that I really couldn't care less. There are way too many Pokemon now that this should have happened at each hardware change. I've only ever finished the Gen 1 and 2 Pokedex because it just got too much after that.

As someone who struggles daily with PTSD and has been in the hospital multiple times for suicide attempts, I understand all too well the process behind his thoughts, and the words he is saying. I have these thoughts near enough every day, and it's brutal.

I have written many suicide notes, explained my reasonings so many times, and thought about my choices over and over again. We see things so clearly in these instances, knowing that the choice we're about to make isn't the only one, but it's so difficult to come out of it.

He knows, as do I, that help is available, but pushing it away, refusing it and ignoring it just happens so naturally that we feel suicide is all that is there for us.

I belive that this man has lost that fight, and I feel incredible sorrow for him and his family and friends.

All we can do, as a collective, whether we struggle ourselves, know people that do, or not, is raise awareness and be ready to lend a hand or an ear if ever the situation arises.

I live in the UK and swear by the Samaritans. They will not judge you, interrupt you, or even tell you that you're wrong. They will listen as long as you need them to, offer guidance, or stay silent if that's what you need. I have their number saved on my home screen, so all I have to do is press it to call, or someone else can do it for me if they need help with me.

I implore people to do this if you struggle or care for someone who does.

This just goes to show that the average Pokemon player is 20+ years of age, with Gen 1 still dominating the polls. Either that, or the original 151 are much more appealing than newer Pokemon.

Charizard taking the win is not surprising, but Arcanine is still the best, in my opinion.

The only thing that gets me is that they have all that table and chose to place the Famicom over the edge.

I don't know why, but I have a strong feeling that Specsavers is a sponsor.

There needs to be a boycott on this kind of thing. I love the Switch and I love Nintendo, but this is completely anti-consumer to expect £30 for a remaster. Even if the publishers can decide their pricing, there should be an imposed limit on cost that Nintendo should be setting.

What ever happened to Platinum pricing? A remaster should be £19.99. If it was a remake, built from the ground up, it'd be different.

I do not like the designs of any of the starter Pokemon, but I'm hoping the final evolution look cool. I'll be starting with Scorbunny, because since Pokemon Blue as a kid, I've always picked Fire first.

Awesome, but please proof read. "Not to set to arrive" and "hole in lives".

Pathetic... The internet disappoints me. It's just the way thee shadow has been drawn. There is no bulge.

Just received my order from SimplyGames! Can't wait to get stuck in!

@Incognito_D I used the NES Mini by plugging the USB in to my PC. They take very little to power them.

This is the kind of thing people take issue with? Wow, some people live absolutely trouble-free lives if something like this bothers them.

It still looks like anime, it still sounds like anime, it's still watchable. What's the big deal?

Good, though you still can't get the dark versions, I assume?

I want all of them! I've preordered 2 Shovel Knight amiibo, one to keep sealed with the rest of my collection and one to put next to my monitor. I just received the Splatoon Squid amiibo bundle in the post, so I'm really happy to finally add a difficult amiibo to my collection.

Anything that can cause damage to a person's body, be it vocal chords, physical, hearing, etc. should be taken seriously, and the pay they receive should reflect that. Likewise, if a game sells millions of copies, the cast of the game should also see some of that money. I remember an article once about how much Tom Cruise gets paid per movie, and it was an insane amount, but when you look at how much his movies gross, you can understand the wage he gets. In video games, I can imagine the pay isn't nearly as good for what is essentially the same thing as acting in a movie.

Besides, if the world insists on paying footballers as much as they do, it's not unreasonable for other workers in other areas to expect more.

EDIT: You know the funniest thing about this? If voice actors do go on strike, the only company that would be largely unaffected is Nintendo, as they rarely use voice acting for anything other than the odd noise from their characters.

@Uberchu Someone could quite easily have put the Xbox cardboard cover over the Wii U inner tray.

Awesome! After a few attempts, I beat it with 92 coins, then I kept dying to the stupid spike at the end of the level (even though you could clearly see I was above it), but eventually I got all 100 coins!

I'm giving it a go now, and I've noticed one problem. When you enter the first door to the tree, if you move before the spring is shot out, you can miss the mushroom and then have to awkwardly bounce back past the spring to get it. You may want to move the mushroom or put it near the tree.

EDIT: Wow, pretty awesome! Took me a few attempts, as those leaps of faith a little too tight. Other than that and the mushroom , you've done a superb job!

@ChessboardMan Mine either! Yodel said they tried and left a card, but that's a complete lie, someone was in all day and we received nothing!

I wish I was joining you guys on this but YODEL didn't deliver my parcel. Do they often lie and say they've attempted delivery?

@FLUX_CAPACITOR F-Zero and Project Zero are two different series of games.

Banks will pay back charges if you can prove the activity was not meant to happen.

Glad I picked this up then. I also ordered the Luigi's Mansion 2 diorama, because my hope of them ever adding the Mario characters figure the woman on the main page is holding was looking pretty weak.

I think Black Shadow from F-Zero would be a good fit, he certainly looks like he could kick ass.

@night Their comments were hardly hateful, but yours definitely is. There is absolutely no need to speak of these people like that. All they said is that they don't know these YouTubers, and you just flew off the handle. These YouTubers are not going to thank you for defending their "honour", as much as you may think they are, so attacking people for them is uncalled for.

If Nintendo is using stuff like Metroid Prime Federation Force to reach out to new fans and bring them to shore, those fans are going to drown. Not only that, their current fans are going to jump in to the water with them.

While the controller looks interesting to play, and will take a nice amount of practise, the stuff on the screen just annoys me. The whole thing looks tacky, cheap and boring, from the fretboard, to the notes, to the backgrounds. It looks horrible!

It's a shame because I used to be a Guitar Hero master, and played them about 99% of each day for years. Oh well, I still have Rock Band 4, which looks incredible!

2017? Kick starter is awesome, but it also sucks because you have to learn about cool games waaaaaaay before they come out.

I think RegalSin just doesn't understand entertainment. This isn't the first time I've seen him go off like that. It's all for fun, you silly fool.

@Ichiban It's coming out this Thursday!

@Megumi I think it's because that cover art says Super Mario World: Super Mario Bros 4. on it. Yoshi's Island was just named Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island.

Well, unless I get any older games that still have CN Stars, I've ended with 15200 still in my account. I'm still holding out for a last big update of the catalogue, but I would imagine this is it now. :/

I fail to see why the title needs to be changed. Like Mario & Luigi Dream Team having the word "Bros" added to the end of it, or Sly Cooper being changed to Sly Racoon due to a slang swear word that I'd never even heard of living in the UK, this is a pretty pointless change.

As for the game, I'll certainly be picking it up as it looks like a lot of fun, and I've been wanting a game that I can just play with the GamePad for a while, as I only really look at it for VC games at the moment.

OK, it's a decent game, but it's nothing special. It's critically acclaimed because it's a story about sexuality; a girl falling in love with another girl. If the game was about opposite sexes falling in love, it would be a run-of-the-mill puzzle adventure, with no exciting features, and nothing to write home about. The game was not reviewed on its merits as a game, but on its subject matter, which - let's face it - has been the subject of choice over the last couple of years. I'm not knocking it, not at all, but it's become one of those "Oh, a story about sexuality, again. Happy days." moments.

I bought both versions on the day of release, but forgot to redeem the Wii U version's code. When I finally did it, I was 2 days past the cut off date.

Luckily the webpage didn't set on fire after watching that video.

It was awesome to watch, but looks like it would only be possible by TAS, which makes it infinitely less appealing.

Nintendo really ballsed up my order. Pre-ordered on the 15/01, then had to change my card due to a security check, and Nintendo would not let me edit the details of my order until the billing date. I changed it and they didn't take any money until yesterday but I got an email saying it would be delivered by release date. Just got another email saying it's coming on Monday! Screw the UK store!

@deKay She has a 2DS, so that's a bummer. I guess I'll give her the cartridge and I'll just have the DC. Why couldn't it just be a code like with ALBW...

I'm getting the MM N3DS XL Edition, with MM3D pre-installed. I'm also getting the MM3D SE physical copy, so I don't actually want the digital version. Is there any way I can just give the digital copy to my girlfriend for her 3DS, or will I be stuck with it?

For someone that apparently isn't bothered about MM3D, Ben_AV sure has posted an awful lot. Can't allow your views to be second best, can we?

I don't mind remakes at all, especially as they don't utilise all of a company's resources to do. Sometimes a remake can draw a new audience that has never played a game before in to the point that they become a fan of the series. For example, how many people knew of Scarface before the Al Pacino version? A small number, I'm sure.

Remaking MM is a good thing for Nintendo, as it's always pushed to the side and ignored so as to place more emphasis on OoT, when MM is an incredible game in it's own right. Nintendo survive through the love of their characters and worlds, and in an industry where flashy effects and big set-pieces are the order of the day, they struggle to compete. These remakes are needed because they can induce nostalgia in their long-time fans or old fans that have since moved away from Nintendo, and they can draw in new ones that will become attached to their games, and hopefully stick around for more. Obviously they'll also put effort in to new IPs, but a company needs to make money to do so. Games only make money for so long, and when new consoles replace old ones, you need to find some other way of sustaining that income.

You can't possibly get angry at a company for doing this, because it is such a small thing that needn't even bother you. Making this game does not mean that suddenly Nintendo put every division they have on hold until it's complete. It's incredibly naive to even think that.

As for people asking for this game over new ones, that's just the nature of human beings. When you go to a shop, you don't always try something new. More often than not, you'll go with that same flavour of crisps that you always eat, or that same pack of chocolate Hobnobs you've been gorging yourself on, even though Blue Ribands are on offer. We'll all try something new now and again, but we become comfortable and confident in the familiar. It's hard to spend money on something you don't know.

Use the Inverted Song of Time and the 3 day limit is barely even an issue.

Metroid Prime Trilogy and Gunman Clive 2 are my picks this week.

I used to hate Game Theory because I thought MatPat was completely up his own... Ho-oh, but I've grown to love it and him! His theories are always incredibly entertaining and enlightening. I especially enjoyed the one about Majora's Mask being Link's limbo after he died.

We have a customer at work called Mario and his name is pronounced Marry-o. That's how it has alway been for me, I've never liked the way most Americans pronounce it.

That trailer ended so abruptly. Very shoddy editing. The game itself looks incredible, and I can't wait to have my MM3D N3DSXL in my hands come Friday 13th.

Come on, Nintendo. Your UK store has a bloody promotional page telling you about the MM3D LE N3DS XL, and a link to the store page, yet you don't even have the damn thing available to order. Get in gear.

I'd rather people spend a load of money on this, than something that could ruin themselves or people around them.

@Nanamine - Bi-annualy means every it happens twice a year. The article writer was mostly correct, except it's Summer Games Done Quick in the Summer and Awesome Games Done Quick in January. There's 1 of each, though they are basically the same thing. SGDQ raises money for MSF (or Doctor's Without Borders), while AGDQ raises money for PCF (Prevent Cancer Foundation).

It was a fantastic event, with some very memorable moments! To add on to the 2 that you mentioned, I would also recommend people to watch the Battleblock Theater run with the developers present(these developers are some of the funniest people in gaming), the Tetris Grandmaster run, Kaizo Mario World, Kingdom Hearts 2, and there is just so much more!
