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
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 love miiverse. It's clunky and odd, but that only makes it more endearing somehow. Having said that, it's time has been and gone. I'll miss it, but I think it's right to turn it off now.
When he said the game would never appear on a Nintendo console, wasn't he referring to Mortal Kombat? Which was then released on the SNES the next year.
The NES version was a bit poop. I flicked through it once, never touched it again. Then I got another copy as a gift. It was a struggle to feign gratitude for that one, let me tell you.
$1.7 million was only the cash total. Counting other sources like sponsors and such, they raised about $2.1 million I think. I love GDQ, it totally dominates my week whenever it's on
This is, without doubt, the best thing to come out of E3 for me. Hopefully, this'll sell well and encourage Nintendo to make a proper Metroid 5 and carry the narrative beyond Fusion.
You can't blame CEX for selling things at market value. This whole situation is Nintendos doing. What ever the real reason is for the supply problems and discontinuation, Nintendo is the reason the things sell for so much. They dropped the ball big time.
I can imagine the fact that it has been hacked to bits might have something to do with it. Even I couldn't resist hacking it with an extra 40 or so games, and that's not something I'd normally do. It wouldn't suprise me if they come out with a version 2 for the holidays with all those exploits removed.
Still, this totally sucks for the folks that haven't been able to get one. Nintendo sure did mess this one up.
I think this game is only similar to the SNES game in terms of visuals. It plays and controls much more like the N64 version than anything else. Also, this is my favourite Mario kart by a country mile, partly because it's so damned hard. I've pumped sooooo many hours into this game.
@3MonthBeef just can't do the handheld mode. Don't like the joy-cons at all. Got them out of the box, felt the analogue sticks and immeadiately thought "I'm buying a pro controller".

Re: KORG Gadget is Coming to the Switch in Spring 2018

Re: Weirdness: People Just Can't Stop Talking About Mario's Nipples
I just find it hard to believe that a guy with such bushy mustache doesn't have a grotesquely hairy chest.
Re: Minecraft “Better Together Update” Not Coming To New 3DS Version Of The Game
So this is the 'other people ruin everything' version then? I'm in.
Re: Looks Like The SNES Classic Mini Is Just As Hackable As The NES Classic Mini
I'll be hacking mine, if only to enable the down select button combo to get back to the menu.
Re: Minecraft: New Nintendo 3DS Edition Out Now On The eShop, Packaged Version To Launch At A Later Date
I really want this for some reason.
Re: Feature: What We Expect from the Nintendo Direct - 13th September
I predict I'll be far too tired to pay much attention/be conscious by 11pm this evening.
Re: Get Ready for a Nintendo Direct on 13th September
@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!

Re: First Impressions: Traversing Titans in Xenoblade Chronicles 2
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
Re: Metroid-Themed My Nintendo Rewards Come To North America
That 3DS theme will be mine
Re: This 400GB Micro SD Card Looks Perfect For Switch Owners
@RupeeClock lol, I remember when 64MB was mind blowing! Imagine where we might be in another 20 years
Re: Editorial: Farewell to the Flawed Miiverse, But Thanks for the Memories

Re: Video: Get Hyped For Metroid: Samus Returns With This Overview Trailer
Got my special edish and amiibo on preorder. Three weeks tomorrow can't come fast enough
Re: Here's The Lead Problem With The SNES Classic's Controller
I bought extension cables for the NES mini so I'm covered. Kinda hoped I wouldn't need them though. Oh well.
Re: Soapbox: The SNES Classic Edition Pre-Order Farce Proves Nintendo Hasn't Learned A Thing
I got two
Re: Fast RMX Is Getting A Free REMIX Update Next Month
That's a nice suprise. I haven't played it in a while, this is a good reason to boot it up again.
Re: Fear Effect Is Being Remastered On The Nintendo Switch
This is a suprise. I might check this out if the controls are improved. They always sucked in the PlayStation version.
Re: Nintendo Download: 10th August (Europe)
I'll be grabbing that Monster Hunter Stories demo. I'm super looking forward to that game.
Re: 25 Years Later, And Night Trap Still Isn't Going To Appear On A Nintendo Console
When he said the game would never appear on a Nintendo console, wasn't he referring to Mortal Kombat? Which was then released on the SNES the next year.
Re: First Three Dragon Quest Titles Heading to the 3DS in Japan
Oh man, I'd love the original three games on 3DS. I'd totally buy them. I take it they're eShop only?
Re: 'Twilight Zone' Stage to Give Splatoon 2 a New Twist During Upcoming Splatfest
@NewAdvent HP sauce is clearly in a class of its own and doesn't need a splatfest to confirm its obvious greatness.
Re: Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age Heading to the West in 2018
This makes me happy. I'll probably end up double dipping on this. That is, if the 3DS version comes here as well as the PS4/Switch version.
Re: Nintendo Download: 27th July (Europe)
I might go for Earthbound on 3DS. I've never played it before and the SNES classic is still two months away.
Re: Gallery: We Take a Look at the SNES Mini (With Waluigi)
Looks cool. I'd like to see some close ups of the much nicer looking European version.
Re: Prima Games' Nintendo SNES Classics Book Will Go Nicely With A SNES Mini
The NES version was a bit poop. I flicked through it once, never touched it again. Then I got another copy as a gift. It was a struggle to feign gratitude for that one, let me tell you.
Re: Show Off Your 8-Bit 'Style' With This NES Classic Hoodie
That is the ugliest jacket I've ever seen... I want one.
Re: Summer Games Done Quick Raises an Extraordinary Total for Doctors Without Borders
$1.7 million was only the cash total. Counting other sources like sponsors and such, they raised about $2.1 million I think. I love GDQ, it totally dominates my week whenever it's on
Re: Splatoon 2 Nintendo Direct Announced For 6th July
I'm at work... boo!!
Re: It Seems Argos Is Cancelling Some SNES Classic Mini Pre-Orders In The UK
To be fair, their website was a mess yesterday afternoon. Wouldn't suprise me if they have lots of erroneous orders.
Re: Poll: Are You Excited About the Super NES Classic Edition?
Can't wait to get mine. It's gonna look good next to my NES classic
Re: Extra Nintendo Switch Stock Drives Game Sales in UK, as Ever Oasis Struggles on Debut
That's a shame about Ever Oasis. I bought it on Friday and I'm really enjoying it
Re: Nintendo Infographic Outlines Switch and 3DS Games for 2017
I'm getting...
3DS: Ever Oasis, Pikmin, Metroid: Samus Returns, Monster Hunter Stories.
Switch: Splatoon 2, Sonic Mania, Super Mario Odyssey, Xenoblade Chronicles 2.
Condolences for my bank account. Also, I just remembered I ordered Horizon Zero Dawn the other day. I think I'm well and truly gamed up for the year.
Re: MercurySteam Elaborates On How It Came To Work On Metroid: Samus Returns
This is, without doubt, the best thing to come out of E3 for me. Hopefully, this'll sell well and encourage Nintendo to make a proper Metroid 5 and carry the narrative beyond Fusion.
Re: Rumour: Artwork for Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle Posted Online
When I see it on store shelves.... I'll still refuse to believe it's real.
Re: Mighty Gunvolt Burst Has Been Revealed for Switch and 3DS
Good news for me, because I enjoyed Mighty Gunvolt way more than both Azure Stiker and Mighty No. 9
Re: Nintendo Download: 11th May (Europe)
I'll grab Xeodrifter for that price. I'm always tempted to get Resident Evil Revelations when it goes on sale, but I know I won't play it :/
Re: Minecraft Won't Take Up As Many Blocks On Your Switch As You Might Think
I'm surprised it takes up that much memory. I remember downloading a 2.5 MB file onto my Mac 7 years ago and thinking "is that it!?".
Re: The Official Standalone Switch Dock Arrives In Europe Next Month
If it's £40 or less, I'm getting one. So to summarise, I'm not getting one.
Re: Nintendo Reveals "The Master Trials", the First DLC Pack for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
That's quite underwhelming. Don't think I'll bother with it, not until details of pack 2 show up.
Re: New Nintendo Selects 3DS Games Coming to Australia
Hopefully, these'll come to Blighty so I can get my Donkey Kong on
Re: Gallery: Here's What The New Nintendo 2DS XL Looks Like From Almost Every Angle
Looks pretty rad. Except the placement of the speakers, wtf is that all about?
Re: Surprise, Nintendo Isn't Hosting An E3 Press Conference This Year
Good. I hope they stick with the digital events. Those press conferences are always so cringe worthy.
Re: Rumour: SNES Classic Mini Coming Later This Year
It'd look good next to my NES mini

Re: Hero of Time Orchestral Album Now Available for Pre-Order as Download, CD, or Vinyl
Beware pre orders with iam8bit. They take forever, always being delayed. Good job their vinyl pressings are actually really good quality

@3MonthBeef just can't do the handheld mode. Don't like the joy-cons at all. Got them out of the box, felt the analogue sticks and immeadiately thought "I'm buying a pro controller".
Re: Poll: Merry Switchmas - Has the Nintendo Switch Launch Got You In a Festive Spirit?
I'm a bit disappointed with the hardware to be honest. But I'm far too busy enjoying Zelda to care.
