Lol, “Ubisoft has very high standards”. Of course they do mate, of course they do.

I have one word; sold.

I’m so buying this. It sounds like a port of the 3DS version. Which is fine by me, I poured dozens of hours into that game and I’ll probably do it again in the big screen. Hype

I’ll be keeping an eye out for this. I love me some futuristic racing games. I just got Grip, and it’s not bad, but it’s just totally broken in parts. I hope Redout ends up being better

Once it drops down to £20-30, I’ll be making a purchase. Because it looks kinda fun, just not £40 fun.

I got the same email. But I’m wondering if this applies to the bundle pack that includes the game, the adapter and a controller. Because I’ve preordered that too :/

Exactly how can a system exclusive possible be cross-platform? Surely one implys the other can’t be, right?

tl;dr they’re all great. Except Other M, screw Other M.

“Welcome the this Super Smash Bros. Ultimate direct. The game is delayed summer until 2019. Goodbye”.

Piracy of retro games is piracy all the same. I can understand it if the original cart is prohibitively expensive and the game isn’t available on a modern download service. But aside from that, shut it down.

Got, got and double got. I’ve ordered two of the controllers, mainly to use with my Gamecube, my original ones are knackered.

I like the directs, but my favourite part of Nintendo’s E3 coverage is the treehouse. It’s always in depth and informative stuff and they occasionally throw a sneaky announcement in there. No other publisher does this and I think that’s a shame.

I laugh, LAUGH at Animal Crossing fans eagerly awaiting a new game in their favourite franchise.

Sincerely,
An F-Zero fan

I downloaded it last night. Never played it before, but it’s quite fun. Not entirely my cup of tea, but I’ll probably play it some more tonight.

As for the port, the only thing that bugged me about it, is distant players move at a massively reduced frame rate. Not sure if this happens with other versions, but it makes it hard to aim from a distance.

@Jack_Goetz that could be about to change

Wow, this looks cheap. It reminds me of those pre Toy Story CG short films, which would be amazing if it were 1992.

I just imported the North American version because Europe doesn’t exist I guess. I’m enjoying it, but I can’t update manually because I’m playing on a European 3DS. Is this the update that makes the game run at 60 FPS too?

I’d like to see Retro take on the F-Zero series, since they seem to be dedicated to reviving neglected Nintendo franchises.

This is painful for me. I hardly play online at all, but I do enjoy a few matches of splatoon every now and then. The NES games hold no interest for me, because I have an NES. Basically, this is going to be £18 a year for a few splatoon matches every now and then. I’m really not seeing the value in that.

Something that always makes me laugh about stories like this. “We’ve hacked into this new console and now we can make it do ANYTHING!!”. “Cool, what are you going to do with it?”, “run a SNES emulator and play Super Mario World mwahahahaha!”....

Christ. At least Lance Armstrong came out and admitted it when he was caught.

Good to know. I liked the look of it when it was first announced. I’ll keep an eye on it.

Sold. I remember playing and loving it back in the day on my Megadrive. Great game

That’s detestating for all those people who are now looking for a new job. I really feel for them.

👍

I’m leaning heavily towards it being Smash 5. Based purely on the idea that if it was an enhanced port, they’d have just shown it off, rather than given us a super vague teaser.

I want more 3DS announcements because that system is awesome and it deserves to live forever.

Retail. Listings. Mean. Nothing.

I bought his game on 3DS like 2 years ago, I really should fire it up some time :/

What an age we live in... a pointless, ridiculous and totally awesome age we live in.

This is actually a pretty bad deal when you add it up. I hope they continue with the special discounts and rewards as well as turning it into a basic loyalty scheme. I suppose it’s not too bad if you buy all digital, but for everyone else it’s not so great.

I'm playing Densha De Go 2, because I'm odd like that.

You guys do know the Atari of today has absolutely nothing to do with the guys who made the 2600 and the Lynx, right?

Cool. I love my 3DS, it’s one of my favourite systems ever. The longer it lives the better I hope they come out with a few more gems before it does inevitably die.

I’m going to jump on the bandwagon and declare my Nintendo to be rubbish, while at the same time eyeing up that Chibi Robo discount... I think I might go for that.

I’d love a Metroid 5. Switch or 3DS, I don’t care. Just give me Metroid

I’m still waiting for DKC Returns 3D to make the selects range over her in PAL land.

Despite not liking Bloodborne, I minght give Dark Souls a go. I’ll keep my eye on Mario Tennis and maybe I’ll go for Kirby? I dunno. TWEWY and Ys VIII have got my interest though, I’ll probably end up grabbing those two.

Personally, I hope it has a multiplayer focus and lots of micro transactions and loot boxes.

This is my game of the year. It’s rare that I restart a game immediately after finishing it.... twice.

Wow. This is big. I remember the DS-10 coming out and I couldn’t quite believe you could get a Korg synth on a Nintendo handheld, I loved it. I’m going to keep an eye on this

I just find it hard to believe that a guy with such bushy mustache doesn't have a grotesquely hairy chest.

So this is the 'other people ruin everything' version then? I'm in.

I'll be hacking mine, if only to enable the down select button combo to get back to the menu.

I really want this for some reason.

I predict I'll be far too tired to pay much attention/be conscious by 11pm this evening.

@Demigod1451 Oh god I'd love a Prime Trilogy port in HD with GameCube style controls! I'd be on that like jam on toast!

My predictions: Xenoblade Chrinicles 2 release date, Bayo 1&2 collection, a brief Prime 4 teaser (but more than we got at E3), BotW DLC details, Ultra Sun/Moon, an unannounced 3DS title that no one but me will care about and an unannounced Switch port that everyone except me will care about.

My wish list: F F***ING ZERO ON SWITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm soooooo looking forward to this game. It's this and Super Mario Oddyssey that are going to consume the end of my year

That 3DS theme will be mine
