I have Nova-111 on Wii U and enjoyed it. So I would be interested to see what else they have to offer. I signed up for the newsletter but haven't received the code yet. Thinking of getting Sorcery to get in on the discounts. Seems like you can see exactly what games they will be giving away as they say there will be going on discount after they are given away, and there are exactly 12 games of theirs not on sale
With all the issues I am hearing about PTCGL, I am glad there is no mention of a Full Release. The Pokemon Company International bit off more than they could chew and have a long way to go until it is ready. At least we still have PTCGO
@SwitchplayerJohn just to let you know, it is not The Pokemon Company making this app. It is The Pokemon Company International, who did not have a software development team before making this app. The previous Pokemon TCG Online app was made and maintained by Dire Wolf Digital. Which is why they are not targeting the Switch as a platform yet. They have new developers trying to make a new game for the first time. Hopefully, in the future they will port it to Switch
I have seen 1 place that shows part of the press release saying there will be no in app purchases... But sadly everywhere else that reports this news seems to not mention it. Is that not actually part of the press release?
@leo13 I haven't bought the game yet (finances are a little tight) it was @Zorox88 who said he was hooked up. I am also wondering how they "hooked you up"
I hate to be that guy but did you make a guide with best guesses for evolutions? The candy counts are speculation. Saying what items will be needed to evolve while other item based evolutions don't require the item in Go, seems off. Sorry to be that guy
@Dogorilla there are some budget decks out there that aren't too bad. I don't use Tapu Lele GX. I may not have the most competitive deck but I take down some big decks a lot of the time. I don't spend more than $50 on each deck
@Jaredfrogman "need" is a strong word. They use every button on a standard controller, doesn't mean everyone uses every button. Single Joy Con would definitely be for casual players. Want to get more competitive, move to a more standard controller. Single Joy Con could work
I was able to pre-order two and cancelled one because it had the wrong billing address. I wonder if that cancellation on my account kept me from being hit
@Alshain01 I believe both versions will be available but the Red/Blue JoyCons are the default. To get the Black ones you have to buy a certain version.
Lack of Major Online Features at Launch. Lack of Software at launch. (there is still software, just not very much) It may not be a technical soft launch, but it sure feels like it. Viewing it as a Soft Launch actually makes me more hopeful for the console this holiday. If I view this as a full launch and what I should expect for the system throughout its life cycle... I am disappointed. (obviously plans can change and maybe later the system will get better, like the 3DS did, but there is also a chance for things to get worst, like the Wii U) This is a soft launch because the system sounds like it won't be fully functional at launch. I believe the Xb1 and PS4 had similar launches but features were fully functional a lot sooner.
GameStop doesn't get advance information early a lot of time. They just speculate. I wouldn't take this to mean amything. Even if someone at GameStoo got advance info, I doubt the person that created that page would be able to have that information...
I am surprised by how many people are in love with the console already. I am not sure yet, I need to see software and I need to see it in action (not just a promotional video)
This is kinda disappointing. I got Zelda Picross and really enjoyed it. I highly recommend it. The disappointing part is, I thought when it would be removed from My Nintendo, a different game would take its place. Now that this won't ever expire, they probably won't have another game like this available on my Nintendo, and this will just stay the only unique My Nintendo offer.
Nintendo makes quality games, games that stick with people longer, so awards aren't that strange in my opinion. I just wish it translated to better sales numbers lol
But in Japan, from what I have seen, Nintendo is doing well.
Looking forward to Super Mario Run on Android, but because it is Apple first and this Winter, I think delaying the other two into next year will be too many Android releases too quickly. Especially without so many releases for other platforms, it really makes it look like Nintendo is going completely Mobile
@spizzamarozzi The thread was locked because people, including yourself, were getting into types of arguments that aren't allowed. Example: The whole American vs European thing. This article is actually what I suggested Nintendo Life to do instead of not reviewing games you deem as "not good"... Just saying
I am thinking Rebirth. I am not a big fan of the verauin of Binding of Issac I have on Steam but I have heard such good things about Rebirth, I might give it another shot... if I buy it on Wii U do I get it on 3DS for free?
@3MonthBeef Well, in a lot of interviews they say how Blast Ball is a good way to get use to the fantastic controls they have. So the probably released that early (and have a small "Pilot Training" part that is more like a tutorial for single-player) to counter the "I don't understand these controls" arguments people will be throwing at the game, like they did for Star Fox.
@3MonthBeef I believe Rocket League released after Blast Ball was first shown. At the very least development would have been started on Blast Ball before Rocket League had become popular
I really enjoy Blast Ball. I also wonder if people that aren't enjoying it mainly play single player games? The Ball feels heavy and difficult to move, which makes teamwork important on both offense and defense. Some of the items are a little OP but overall it is a very enjoyable experience

Pokemon TCG actually has a bigger competitive scene than the Video Games.

Re: My Nintendo Picross: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess Now Available 'Indefinitely'
@spider-manatee more games
Re: My Nintendo Picross: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess Now Available 'Indefinitely'
@spider-manatee seems unlikely. If Zelda Picross was going to expire, it would feel more likely to happen. With this change, it seems unlikely
Re: My Nintendo Picross: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess Now Available 'Indefinitely'
This is kinda disappointing. I got Zelda Picross and really enjoyed it. I highly recommend it.

Also, since this is just a slice of the full product, does that mean if the rest of Federation Force gets a 5/10 it would come out to a 10/10 Game???
