"And it’s not strategy that we’re going to be using widely..."
Lies. Having 3D All-Stars sell 2.6 million copies in just the U.S. tells Nintendo one thing; that limited releases sell and making money is a plus in their eyes.
While we don't exactly know why NIntendo decided to pull the plug on the tournament, if it truly is over the whole Melee situation then that's pretty low of them.
I think Valve and Sega are some of the best companies with regards to how they handle fan games and the people that make them i.e. hire them so they'll work with them.
Y'know, I expected this kind of stuff with the PS5's release, but not for pins. Thought Nintendo would've just manufactured an absolute ton of them but I guess not.
It's too bad a lot of Nintendo games never drop in price until they're released on the "Nintendo Select" name. I wouldn't mind getting this if it was like $25 or so.
Hell, I'm still waiting for Xenoblade Chronicles 2 to drop on price, but it never does.
Since NL decided to pick a re-release box art for Europe's release, than we should have included OoT 3D's box arts in the polls since we're counting re-releases and remakes.
I kinda wish we had an option to make the icons a tad bit smaller and have the way the games are sorted in the folder as a default i.e. more vertical then horizontal.
I swear the only time I've played with a racing wheel like this (Mario Kart Wii's wheel doesn't count lol) was when my brother bought one for Mario Kart 64. Or maybe it was for another N64 racer?
But I'm all CTR over Mario Kart. Whether it's NF and 8, or CTR and MK64, I'll always love CTR more. Doesn't mean I don't have a soft spot for Mario Kart.

Re: Nintendo Cancels Splatoon 2 NA Open Livestream, "Free Melee" Believed To Have Played A Part
While we don't exactly know why NIntendo decided to pull the plug on the tournament, if it truly is over the whole Melee situation then that's pretty low of them.
Re: Twitch Streamers Banned For Playing Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity
Nintendo? More like uhhh No-fun-tendo.
Got 'em.
Re: Sega Yakuza Producer Would Make A "Completely Different" Sonic Game, If Given The Opportunity
They did try a different Sonic with Boom and I remember the initial reactions to the Boom redesigns were pretty negative.
Re: Poll: Which Will Be Your Second Console - PS5 Or Xbox Series X?
PS5, Switch and PC.
Re: Random: New Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Mod Aims To Restore Hyrule Age Of Calamity Style
BotW mods are super cool and I'm all here for it. Been wanting to give them a try for the longest time on PC.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel #67 - F-Zero
I find the floating heads in the Japanese cover art kinda corny. Art style is nice though.
America/Europe for me.
Re: Random: Move Over, Nintendo Labo, And Get Ready For... PlayStation Labo?
Labo is short for laboratory. I don't want to sound cynical, but this is kind of a reach. Nintendo doesn't own the word "Labo" lmao.
Re: Review: Pikmin 3 Deluxe - Perhaps Not Worth A Double Dip, But The Choice Pick For New Players
I love Pikmin 2 and still own my copy of Pikmin 3 for the Wii U but I may wait on the Switch port in hopes of a potential price drop.
Sadly first party Nintendo games never drop on price until they're added to a "Nintendo Select" lineup.
Re: Switch Has Now Been The Best-Selling Console In The US For 22 Consecutive Months - That's A New Record
Not surprising since the console seems to sell out within hours after it goes back in-stock at various retailers.
Re: Nintendo Lawyers Hit Fan-Made Zelda Game With Fatal Copyright Claim
I think Valve and Sega are some of the best companies with regards to how they handle fan games and the people that make them i.e. hire them so they'll work with them.
Re: Random: Someone Made A Manual For Super Mario 3D All-Stars To "Complete The Physical Set"
I think the mini manuals are adorable and for $14 it's not a bad price.
Re: Mini Review: Macbat 64 - A Pitifully Weak Clone Of Those N64 Platformers You Know And Love
For $2 on Steam for an hour of gameplay, it's not that bad of a deal. Looks like a fun little romp through N64 fun.
Re: Fangamer's Talking Conker Plush Comes With Brand New Voice Lines, Pre-Orders Now Open
I still have the original Conker plushes that released when the Xbox remake released. In both regular and army outfits!
Re: Review: Giraffe And Annika - A Laid-Back Adventure That Might Be Too Chill For Some
The protagonist looks like Evan from Ni No Kuni 2.
Re: Did You Miss Out On The Super Mario Anniversary Pin Set? You're Not Alone
Y'know, I expected this kind of stuff with the PS5's release, but not for pins. Thought Nintendo would've just manufactured an absolute ton of them but I guess not.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel #60 - Metroid: Other M
All the bells and whistles packed into the Japan box art makes it so much better.
Re: Review: Super Mario 3D All-Stars - Three Of Mario's Greatest Adventures Come To Switch
I agree, Galaxy 2 would've given this collection the cherry on top.
But I'm still looking forward to playing Sunshine and Galaxy again.
Re: Random: At One Point, The Triforce May Have Been Collectable In Zelda: Ocarina Of Time
Whether you're for or against all of this data mining, you have to admit it's really interesting.
Re: Random: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Mod Swaps Snake For Ninja
You have to pay 3000 Twitch bits to use the skin every match.
Re: Review: Paper Mario: The Origami King - A Puzzling Battle System Can't Kill This Funny Adventure
It's too bad a lot of Nintendo games never drop in price until they're released on the "Nintendo Select" name. I wouldn't mind getting this if it was like $25 or so.
Hell, I'm still waiting for Xenoblade Chronicles 2 to drop on price, but it never does.
Re: Captain Falcon's Famous Voice Actor Recorded New Audio For The Latest Smash Bros. Ultimate Fighter Reveal
I didn't know Captain Falcon and Vegeta share the same VA. That blew my mind during the stream lmao.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #48 - Wild Guns
NA and Europe's covers feel like a Fallout New Vegas expansion.
Re: Pokémon Smile Is A New Free App Designed To Provide A "Fun Toothbrushing Experience"
How about the people that don't have teeth? Way to be inclusive Nintendo!
I'm kidding. Nothing wrong with encouraging kids to grow up with good dental habits.
Re: Poll: Which Remastered Mario Games Would You Pick For A 'Super Mario All-Stars 2'?
Personally? 64, Sunshine, Galaxy 1+2 and 3D Land/World.
Re: Review: BioShock: The Collection - Three Of The Best Single-Player Shooters Ever, All In One Place
Glad to see first timers are enjoying the trilogy and the port is good. Bioshock 2 was always my favorite out of the three.
Re: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Player Recreates Entire Smash Bros. Ultimate Roster
Very impressive. They all look pretty good.
Re: Nintendo 3DS Emulator Citra Comes To Android Smartphones
Took roughly 5-7 comments before people started arguing about the rights and wrongs of emulators. Is that a record?
Jokes aside, I've seen peeps run 3DS games in a higher resolution and they look phenomenal.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #43 - Super Turrican
The Japanese cover art just looks like a screenshot from an anime.
Re: Super Mario 64 PC Port Shows The Game Running At 4K And With Ultra Widescreen Support
That ultra wide screen support is just chef kiss.
Re: Final Super Mario Maker 2 Update Arrives April 22nd, Adds World Maker Mode, Frog Suit, And Koopalings
Super hyped for the World Maker Mode and SMB 2 mushroom.
Re: Nintendo Tells Customers To Stop Using Alcohol-Based Products To Clean The Switch
@patbacknitro18 If you break it in half, dumping the alcohol directly onto the Switch will mend it together.
Re: Team17 Is Publishing Hokko Life On PC, And It Sure Gives Us Animal Crossing Vibes
Looking at the screenshots, this feels like a mobile bootleg made to make a quick buck.
Weird that Team17 would publish something like this.
Re: PC Jedi Knights Are Destroying Star Wars Players On Nintendo Switch
Every one wants cross-play until a PC player plays really good, then they're called cheaters.
Re: Amazon Is Delaying Shipments Of Animal Crossing: New Horizons
I've had the game on PO since last June along with Doom Eternal.
I'll still get Doom tomorrow so that'll have my attention. AC will arrive when it arrives.
Re: Random: Sorry, The Froggy Chair Doesn’t Seem To Be In Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Time for Alex to drop the score down to a 9 with a con being a lack of the froggy chair.
Re: Bounty Battle Is Smash Bros. For Indies, And It's Coming To Switch This Summer
The game looks neat but man, those frame drops in the trailer were rough.
But it's releasing in the summer so they'll most likely get it ironed out by release.
Re: Mario Makes For An Excellent First-Person Shooter, And You Can Play It For Free
Reminds me of old conversion mods for games like Quake 3 and Unreal Tournament 2004.
Re: Random: The Latest Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Craze Is Seeing How High You Can Flip A Guardian
The second video is absolutely top tier.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #28 - Mario Bros.
Since NL decided to pick a re-release box art for Europe's release, than we should have included OoT 3D's box arts in the polls since we're counting re-releases and remakes.
Re: Random: Record-Breaking Speedrun Trick Makes Star Fox's Arwings Spawn In Zelda: Ocarina Of Time
I always love seeing the little arwings fly around in OoT.
They're kinda adorable as they fly around blasting Link to death.
Re: Random: This Skyrim Mod Makes The Game Look Like The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild
Feels like The Witness but without the highly saturated colors.
Re: Joker Costume Spotted On The Back Of Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore Box Art
I'm about 35 hours into Persona 5 and I wish it would release on the Switch so more people can play the game. It's so good.
Phantom Strikers looks like one of the best Musou spinoff games since Hyrule Warriors.
Re: You're Not Dreaming, This N64-Style Platformer Really Is Coming To Wii U
The fact that this game is only available on PC through Itch.io tells me all I really need to know.
Well, that and watching the trailer. The trailer solidifies it.
Re: Hideki Kamiya Thinks The Switch Home Menu Is A "Piece Of Crap"
I kinda wish we had an option to make the icons a tad bit smaller and have the way the games are sorted in the folder as a default i.e. more vertical then horizontal.
Re: Feature: The Worst Nintendo Switch Games Of 2019
Guess Garfield won't be the Mario Kart/CTR killer that the masses were waiting for.
Oh wait, people weren't saying that? I didn't hear over the sound of enjoying Mario Kart and CTR. Huh.
Re: Random: Is Nintendo UK Getting Cheekily Political With This Animal Crossing Poster?
I mean, if this was plastered all over subway stations, then I could see it?
They've been using the whole "get away and live on our island" since earlier this year.
Re: Hardware Review: Race Away With Mario Kart Pro Mini & Deluxe Racing Wheels
I swear the only time I've played with a racing wheel like this (Mario Kart Wii's wheel doesn't count lol) was when my brother bought one for Mario Kart 64. Or maybe it was for another N64 racer?
I don't remember.
Re: Nyan Cat: Lost In Space Brings Rainbows, Pop-Tarts And Memes To Switch Next Week
Feels like a Newgrounds game.
Re: Feature: Best Nintendo Switch Kart Racing Games
I respect NL's opinion in this list
But I'm all CTR over Mario Kart. Whether it's NF and 8, or CTR and MK64, I'll always love CTR more. Doesn't mean I don't have a soft spot for Mario Kart.
