Nice article Tom, you have good taste. I too will miss the 3D era somewhat...
Both sizes are good for me but the smaller one is my personal preference. I have too many DS and GBA games that look much better unstretched as opposed to the XL screen.
Whew, glad I was able to get one here in NA for Black Friday. I really love this version--looks sleek, colored buttons, faceplates, etc. XL screen always looked funny to me, the pixels stretch and the colors looked off to me. Plus it would never fit in my pocket.
@Neon_Blues Yeah, how dare he wish to make a dark Metroid series! After all, Metroid has always been known for its bubbly attitude, comical characters, and peppy musical numbers.
The funniest thing about this is the people who faked the votes for Krystal made it so obvious it was rigged by giving her such an absurd amount of votes lol
I like puzzle-action games like this. Looks the gameplay is there, but seems a bit bland--this seems like an eShop game. But I'm sure it'll be a good game nonetheless.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE I for one think you're totally correct. It's an exciting reveal, but showing even just an ounce of information on the story, gameplay, etc, something, even a tease to get us speculating, would have been SO much better. We don't even know the developer, except that it isn't Retro, so fans better not get their hopes up too high only to find that Prime 4 is completely different than what they expected. Same goes for Pokemon on Switch, they could have given just a snippet of info to speculate on.
And what the hell people? Who cares if he posts negative comments? He just doesn't want Prime 4. He probably loves Nintendo just as much as me or you. I hate how the people on this website have to attack anybody who isn't 100% happy with Nintendo.

This is gibberish, not a "translation". If you're going to quickly run a tweet through Google Translate, you could at least make it grammatically correct first.
@aaronsullivan I'm not sure if there were any Metroid references in these particular videos, but in his past videos on Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, he replaced Boba Fett with Samus.
Anyway I'm so used to seeing Toon Link as Luke, it's a bit strange to see an old, grown up Link now.
lol. That is sad. It would have been a huge hit and made them lots of $$ if they just made it f2p. What else can I expect from the out of touch Nintendo, though.
Looks sick! My favorite thing about these Samus Figmas is that because of her suit, you don't even notice the puppetlike look of the figure's joints (though Figma usually does a good job of concealing them in the first place)
This mount is the best mount. The best. Absolutely. There are no other mounts like it. You couldn't find a better mount, let me tell you folks. We're gonna get this mount, people. We're gonna get it because it's the best, and we're gonna make Hyrule great again!

Re: Kirby Classics Get 25th Anniversary Discounts in North America
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Strange, as my birthday coupon came from Nintendo literally two weeks late, lol. I didn't even bother using it.

Re: Ultra Street Fighter II Was A "Smash Hit" On Switch, Says Capcom
Here's what this sounds like:
"Ultra Street Fighter II (for Nintendo Switch), which was released in May 2017, made an excellent start and proved to be a smash hit. Period."

Re: Review: Hey! Pikmin (3DS)
The demo was so boring, I couldn't even finish it. This is unsurprising.
However, I could still see people enjoying it if they don't mind the pace and ease of the game. A 6 isn't such a bad score.
Re: Sonic Mania's Special Stages Take Inspiration From Sonic CD
Neat, but it looks like Sonic is a 3d model here, whereas he should be a 2d sprite like in Sonic CD.
Re: Pokémon GO's Legendary Pokémon Are Arriving Very Soon
Sorry boss, gonna be late to work--it's a Lugia, motherf**ka!

Re: Random: Mega64 Gives Its Unique Spin on Super Mario Odyssey
I didn't think it was that funny, until the trash can came out, then I lost it lol
I remember their Parappa and Elite Beat Agents videos. Those were pretty funny.

Re: The Latest Pokémon Movie Is Ditching Two Of The Franchise's Most Famous Characters
It's weird decision, but I've already made a point to watch all the Pokemon movies (which I have) so this one won't stop my 'streak'.
Re: Random: McDonald's Japan Thinks You Might Like A Broccoli-Flavoured Pokémon McFlurry
I'm too curious when it comes to weird flavors in things like this, so I would probably give all of them a try.
Re: Music: Check Out Sonic Forces' Opening Theme, Featuring Hoobastank's Douglas Robb
It's a poor man's Crush 40
...I take that back, cause that would insult Crush 40
But it could be worse--it's better than the bubblegum electropop song from Colors, for example.

Re: Chrom and Tiki amiibo on the Way With Support for Fire Emblem Warriors
Chrom amiibo looks great, but unfortunately it's probably the only amiibo announced today that I'm interested in.
Re: New Trailer for Skyrim on Switch Showcases Motion Controls and Link amiibo Support
That's cool, but no matter what amiibo bonuses they try to add, there's already a mod for it.

Re: Random: Mario Kart 8 Mod Adds Everyone's Favourite Pink Blob To The Starting Grid
Kirby looks a little bumpy here. But it's cool that they added his voice, unlike the Sonic mod.
Now I'd love to see someone mod in Captain Falcon, but that might be difficult.

You can put all your hopes and dreams of ever buying a Switch into it.

It seems people on both sides of this "PC issue" like to complain about nothing.

Re: Soapbox: ARMS is the New Splatoon for the Nintendo Switch Generation
But I don't want a new Splatoon, I want more Splatoon.
Thankfully, the Switch has that and convinced me to buy one later in the year.
But not Arms. Arms looks like garbage.
