Emperor-Palpsy

9/15. The second half really tricked me.

I still remember when Waluigi first arrived on the scene back in 2000, though we first knew about him in 1999 when the game was previewed. And before that, he was profiled in a Nintendo magazine (which I believed was a misprint at first).

Honestly, I think just about every Nintendo fan thought this was a big joke. The name sounded completely goofy, he had no backstory and no obvious reason to exist in the game at all. We all just laughed about it.

But if you had asked me back then whether Waluigi would become as widely known/'memed' as he is today, I wouldn't have given him a chance. It's quite incredible that the character has, literally, become a satire of itself.

This used to be a lot of fun, particularly the corny scripts. Like the Undertaker...

"You may have defeated [opponent], but now it's my time. I'm gonna kick your ass!... Next week."

Did anyone here ever own a TV Boy back in the early Nineties? The graphics on this game remind me a lot of it!

No Walbunigi, no download.

And y’all thought Nintendo Online was bad...

"travel from region to region seamlessly in an open-world".

@Ladasta The headline literally answers your question - not that there should have been one in the first place.

Well... they could always give us free tickets to a conference. Very effective!

As nice as the physical editions are, this is a game that honestly hasn't aged that well.

If this is the result of Wario having an affair with Waluigi, then I personally cannot wait for the twin to arrive...

EA the kinda company that waits until share prices tumble, then says "We've got a sure-fire winner here"

"Various issues are now resolved.

Except for that crucial one; the app is bad.

There you have it that’s ‘E3’ wrapped up folks

ALL HAIL CRAB!

Trademarks are renewed every 10 years.
Nothing to see here.

I would take a Wii Sports, Party, Play super-pack any day!

The one franchise that was made for Labo... and they give us stickers.

And yet EA still hasn’t put any effort into FIFA

They'll need an awful lot of good fortune and merchandising to get this to work.

But I wish them the best of luck!

It's no wonder - the guy was practically designed to take a bullet

I stopped reading at "...I overheard at the Nintendo party from some drunk Rare executives..."

You had me at the thumbnail

The likeness is uncanny... 😅

In all seriousness it's a wonderful feat. Not that much larger than a Game Boy Advance!

@electrolite77 If you’re honestly saying that £19 a year for dozens of NES, SNES, Tetris 100 and online matchmaking isn’t good value, then I suggest you try a different fishing shop?

I can’t really understand the complaints about NSO (apart from online matchmaking quality...) when it’s such ridiculous value for money.

Seriously, it’s equivalent to roughly £1.50 a month - and even FREE for 12 months with many games.

If any of the complainers here are grown adults with responsibilities, that’s a drop in the ocean. I spend £20 on petrol alone every week!

Virtual Console had worse emulation, only one save state per game, cost considerably more (£3.49 for NES one title? £5.99 for one NES game?) and still took a long time to fill the back-catalogue over the years.

Furthermore - at the time Virtual Console was around, people would incessantly complain. Every. Single. Week... about the prices and selection. So nothing has changed in that regard; Nintendo merely acted upon these complaints.

Not everything was rosy ‘back in the day’, but was a novelty as there were few other options. Could Nintendo add a high paid tier? Yes. But by having this extremely affordable option, there’s really excuse to not buy into it.

@Bret I haven't denied that.

Yep, this was a cancelled Wii U game lol

@JohnyHalo Spare me the ‘hero’ nonsense...

I can’t for the life of me think of why they picked Danny DeVito and not Rick Astley 😂

Villagers are so slick, they can kill a man with charm alone

The time to improvement ratio is astoundingly bad

It's chilled, but I'm finding the U.I a bit hard to read.

Smart move! Wish they did this more often.

It’s frustrating that SNES versions of several of these games are absent - and they were so much better, too.

Wario’s Woods, for instance, or SMB 1-3 - all have better graphics and audio.

Well... You know what they say about a man with a big master sword.

...or you could download a free piano app for your phone/tablet.

Try spinning; that's a good trick!

I'm a simple man (Sith).

I see an image of Samus; I click.

And people are worried that Nintendo isn't announcing anything new? Haha, they haven't need to! They knew this game was going to drop like a megaton..

Please just give us Wii Sports

@NoTinderLife It is 'full' of ports and remasters because many audiences haven't had the chance to play them on a Nintendo platform, since developers in question often skipped over previous consoles.

To be fair, you only have to input the code once for each friend.

Also, you can add near-by friends using the 'symbol' feature, where one Switch features a set of Clubs, Spades, Diamonds or Hearts, and the other Switch user just needs to match them on their console.

Reggie doesn't have time to finish the podcasts.

He has get back and play Animal Crossing: New Leaf, on his Nintendo 3DS.

Demo? Well there goes my theory of Splatoon 3 this year.

100% a dropped Wii U title. The graphics and physics give it away themselves!

Not sure if it's worth £35...

If Animal Crossing is a farce, then I imagine the author hasn't watched young children play Fortnite.

Please understand
