Lazy is as lazy does

Make sense. Nintendo is currently using mobile as a gateway to their I.P, not a sustainable revenue stream.

MA BOI’S BACK BABY

The tweet - I get how it may be misinterpreted.

But the fruit at Gamescom? That was curious to say the least.

They should have gone for Super Puyo Puyo instead. Far superior in every regard - and who cares if it wasn’t the ‘first’.

We already know Waluigi has nipples as he was painted in Sistine Chapel

This game just went from a maybe to a definitely for me.

If only they sold this separately, though...

@Xelha Not if you use the ‘voucher’ scheme.

£84 for 2 vouchers = £42 per game.

Gold points for vouchers purchase = £4.20 back; now £40 per game.

Links Awakening double points reward = up to £6 back; now £34.

Can’t think of a reason why that’s not a good deal, unless physical is just your thing.

At least he didn’t get Link’s voice actor. All he would have written is “Hoh... Ha... Hu-yAAAHH... Nooh... Gurr-urrgh!”

Only two issues:

• a NES that had the blinking light (lock-out) fault
• N64 controllers with loose sticks.

I’ve owned ever Nintendo console since the NES, and have had no issues with their engineering in the past. Yes, Switch has some minor design flaws, but for a first gen product of a radically new concept, I think they did terrifically well in the short space of time following Wii U’s failure.

Puyo Puyo Tetris? Hello??

Wow, it looks super effective!

Nah, I'm all about link. Just imagine him pointing to things and going "GuyyYAH!... Ha... Huhh... Gu-ohh... (whistle)"

@Ooyah Rippled glass, placed over the cels and moved left to right slowly between each photograph

@Kalmaro In a nutshell... The animators drew the action on paper with pencil, frame by frame. The drawings were then sent to be inked and painted on a separate celluloid (transparent plastic) sheet by tracing. Finally, the 'cels' were sent to the camera, where they were placed on top of a background painting and one picture was taken. Repeat the process thousands of times and you have a cartoon.

(Back in the day, Disney animated films had around 150,000 separate drawings/paintings)

There was one on the original SMM too

The way I see it is this; if I'm set on purchasing evergreen titles (Zelda, Mario Odyssey etc.) then the vouchers are a bargain.

For series entries that tend to be replaced (Splatoon, Mario Kart), I would go physical so I can sell the previous game to fund the new one.

Can't wait to have me some Tsum Tsum!

And if they do Nintendo-themed ones... mwahaha

Too many special edition... too little moneys...

Don't fall for it!

RE1 and RE4 are already down to £20 in the eShop sale right now. How long will it be before 5 and 6 do the same?

One of the most stubborn video game corporations refuses to add a well-requested feature? Well call me shocked.

Holyyy Molyyyy! Don’t shadow drop on me like that Nintendo!!

Don’t need physical... but want physical...

They're bullish; and my wallet is peckish.

This is the kind of game that I'll regularly dip in and out of, so it has to be digital for me (especially at 2.8gb).

The steelbook is great - but as with anything collectible, it's best not to start collecting or you start making irrational choices!

He has the trunks, but will he have the nipples?

@BacklogBlues I respect your point, but I think you might have missed where I’m coming from. Where the information has come from is the concern; for example if someone intercepted a confidential email, or a server that contained the said information, that is a criminal offence.

@apoqalypse Because the information in question is confidential, and obviously for the content in question will be legally bound. We don’t know how the leaker gets their information, but even if they were passed on the information by another parter, they are one disclosing that information.

I can’t stop saying information...

This is great news - not because I’m a big Pokemon fan, but that it virtually rules out big coverage of it at E3. With Mario Maker out of the way too, I’m expecting big things...

Take my rupees.

I thought it was a sticker/screen effect that the user had placed on screen, similar to the sound effects and visual effects.

I would have thought there were two obvious reasons why; Nintendo would rather you buy a second Switch, and that most Docks will be manufactured for the main Switch bundle, where they are needed most.

I dunno, I quite enjoyed the ‘Climax’ stage

Jeez, Reggie’s hand could crush my head!

The three trilogies, remastered as one product?

Take my rupees...

Should have just released the original; I'd buy that in a heartbeat.

It'll be through the app, obviously?

Makes a lot of sense. Convenient, easier and more up-to-date than Miiverse.

I have only one thing to say, in a deep lo-if samples voice...

“Laziness - WINS.”

Well... we all know how THAT fable ended!

@SlippingBack Bah! Stop ‘slipping back’ and GET back to work!! Numbskull...

Nintendo changed the moment the Switch trailer was released. It has reinvented itself in a manner that many never thought was possible.

Held out for a price drop and just bought a Sandisk Extreme 128gb for £23, Amazon. Absolutely chuffed to bits! That’s cheaper than the licensed Nintendo card haha.

Disney Afternoon Collection

(In my dreams)

@Medic_alert They have separate icons because the Xbox firmware supports it, but the two games are still compiled into the same software. The icons you speak of are akin to the shortcuts on a Windows desktop.

Here is Origins on the PS4; note the boot screen at the beginning for an example.

The fact that they've confirmed the physical release is 'Origins' all but confirms that it won't feature a download code.

On all other platforms, Origins isn't a merchandising phrase but the title for the software itself. RE Zero and One are actually compiled into a single software package, where the user selects which game they wish to play upon booting. In other words, the titles do not execute separately on the format.

This is great news, and shouldn't come as a surprise. I'm a little bummed that 4 won't have a physical release to complete the collection, but I'll take the original two physical any day.

This is one of the few demos that actually put me off the game.

Compared to Wooly World, I'm unsure if the toy aesthetic really pays off. It feels very artificial to me, and the Gaussian effect they've applied (typical UE4) looks like someone has smeared Vaseline over the screen, a lá Snake Pass.

The gameplay itself is a little too slow for me, but I get there are some who will be fine with it.

Tis a great weekend. Ma boi Waluigi FINALLY gets his Valentine Day recognition, and the waffles have beaten the pancakes fair and square.

The Animal Crossing cards were probably a testing bed for Pokemon. I'd be shocked if the new game doesn't incorporate amiibo functionality.

When Michangello painted the hand of God, few would realise that Waluigi was, in fact, the son of Adam

This must all be so confusing to the non-gamer.

A theme park in which the mascot is an American-Italian plumber from Brooklyn, running around grassy blocks with coins, jumping up a flag pole to observe a pink castle and pipes everywhere.
