I bought the game day one. The special edition with the steel book and Star Fox Guard... I'm yet to give it a go. Both games are sitting on my shelf sealed.
I'm sold. Even though I stopped playing Splatoon months ago and my amiibo spend 99% of their time sat on a shelf doing nothing. I NEED these! Because I'm a sucker.
My only thoughts are, if there won't be any NX news at E3, they must be showing more than Zelda. Right? I mean, what is coming to the Wii U this year? There is literally nothing I'm interested in.
And so this is the life of a Nintendo fan for the next couple of months. Sifting through rumours, leaks and half-truths until Nintendo finally spill the beans... I love video games
What strikes me as odd is, we've known about this game for about two years. There are all these rumours and tidbits of info flying around. But, we don't even know the full title of this game yet.
It's a shame the image of this game has plummeted. As it does look like a fun game, and I will be buying it when (if?) it gets released. But bloody hell, am I glad I didn't back the Kickstarter.
I'm still holding out for rewards for physical purchases. I don't spend much on the eShop. The odd VC game or something isn't going to get me many points.
As retro seem to have made it their mission to revive neglected Nintendo franchises, I'd love to see them have a crack at making an F-Zero game. Whatever they're working on, it'll probably be great. I just hope we hear about it sooner rather than later.
I went with Links Awakening and Wind Waker because they're my absolute favourites. I also went with Minish Cap because it never gets the love it deserves.
I only just realised I had an Amazon order when they just sent me an email about the delay. I just cancelled my GAME order. How did I order it twice without knowing? Must be because I'm a forgetful moron, lol.
Oh these take me back to the early nineties. Mario sucks! SNES < Megadrive! Who needs Zelda when you've got Gunstar heroes! Man, I was such a raging fanboy. I'm buying the lot.
I'm really liking Zip Lash. It's far from perfect, but I have barley put it down since I got it. It's one of those games that's fun to go through and complete 100%.
This is exactly the sort of oddball unexpected thing I expected (oxymoron). Trust Nintendo to do something weird that no one asked for. I'll look forward to giving it a try.
I was just looking at this the other day. I'd like to know how invasive the mod is. I'm handy with a soldering iron, but I'm no wizard. If there was a way for the RGB mod to remove that awful aliasing, I'd go for that in a heart beat.

Re: Random: Store Shelves Appear To Be Filling With Pre-Owned Copies Of Star Fox Zero
I bought the game day one. The special edition with the steel book and Star Fox Guard... I'm yet to give it a go. Both games are sitting on my shelf sealed.
Re: Video: Latest Mighty No. 9 Trailer Dials Up The Ridiculousness
Looks fun. I'll look forward to trying it.
Re: A Tetris Movie is in the Making
I hope this one is super dumb and turns out to be ironically enjoyable. I love dumb movies like that.

Re: SEGA 3D Classics Collection is Confirmed for Europe
I hope they don't do a Megaman legacy collection and make it download only over here. It's an instabuy if it's physical.
Re: Random: A Nintendo Themed Line of Vans Sneakers Will Debut This Summer
Those NES controller high tops will be mine. All mine.
Re: Nintendo Download: 5th May (Europe)
Pocket Card Jockey demo had me hooked. It's an instabuy for me
Re: Callie and Marie Join a New Splatoon amiibo Range on 8th July
I'm sold. Even though I stopped playing Splatoon months ago and my amiibo spend 99% of their time sat on a shelf doing nothing. I NEED these! Because I'm a sucker.
Re: Nintendo Download: 28th April (North America)
If that Sega collection got a physical release in the UK I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
Re: Pocket Card Jockey Comes to North America on 5th May
I had absolutely no interest in this. Then I played the demo. I'm getting it, day one.
Re: Humble Friends of Nintendo Bundle Offers Games at a Huge Discount
I've already got Shantae. But I threw them $10 and got the rest. I was interested in Retro City Rampage anyway.
Re: Nintendo NX Will Be Launched Globally in March 2017
My only thoughts are, if there won't be any NX news at E3, they must be showing more than Zelda. Right? I mean, what is coming to the Wii U this year? There is literally nothing I'm interested in.
Re: You Can Now Pre-Order The Most Gorgeous New Nintendo 3DS XL Console Ever Made
So much want. But I already have a New 3DS XL and a Super Famicom, so they'll have to do.
Re: The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses Tour Adds Extra Dates in the UK
I've got two tickets to the Manchester show. I can't freaking wait. All I need to do now is find a hot date to invite ;p

Re: Talking Point: My Nintendo's Pros, Cons and Areas for Improvement
Points for physical purchases is my number one request.
Re: Mighty No. 9's Release Date Remains A Mighty Mystery
It's a shame the image of this game has plummeted. As it does look like a fun game, and I will be buying it when (if?) it gets released. But bloody hell, am I glad I didn't back the Kickstarter.

Re: Nintendo's Gold Coin Prices Point the Way to Freebies
I'm still holding out for rewards for physical purchases. I don't spend much on the eShop. The odd VC game or something isn't going to get me many points.
Re: My Nintendo and Its Rewards Are Live
I found a section for entering points codes (like club Nintendo). So there's hope for people like me who buy all games physically.
Re: Feature: Ten Game Boy Advance Games You Should Play
Yeah, Golden Sun is a quintessential GBA game. And that's coming from a guy who doesn't really like RPGs.
Re: Review: EarthBound (New 3DS / SNES)
I remember playing this on an emulator back in the day and thinking, WTF is this? Might have to pick this one up.
Re: Nintendo's Official UK Store Opens Up Star Fox Zero Pre-Orders
That t-shirt is about the fugliest thing I've ever seen. The hat is pretty cool though.
Re: Nintendo Download: 10th March (Europe)
Super Metroid on 3DS for me. Truly one of the greatest games ever made.
Re: Nintendo Download: 3rd March (North America)
Why does North America always get discounts on the games I want. While here in the UK I have to pay full price? Oh well.
Re: A Wii U and 3DS Nintendo Direct Is On the Way
Mother 3 confirmed!
Seriously though, I'd like to hear more about Federation Force.
Re: Retro Studios Finally Modernises and Relaunches Its Website
As retro seem to have made it their mission to revive neglected Nintendo franchises, I'd love to see them have a crack at making an F-Zero game. Whatever they're working on, it'll probably be great. I just hope we hear about it sooner rather than later.
Re: Poll: Vote for Your Favourite Legend of Zelda Games - 30th Anniversary Edition
I went with Links Awakening and Wind Waker because they're my absolute favourites. I also went with Minish Cap because it never gets the love it deserves.
Re: Mighty No. 9 Has Been Delayed Once Again as Keiji Inafune Offers Sincere Apologies
Lol. This had better be the best "Megaman" game ever, or there'll be hell to pay.
Re: Nintendo Download: 7th January (Europe)
Everyone needs to check out Drill Dozer. Such an awesome action platformer.
Re: GAME and Official Nintendo Store Delay Shovel Knight amiibo Pre-Orders in the UK
I only just realised I had an Amazon order when they just sent me an email about the delay. I just cancelled my GAME order. How did I order it twice without knowing? Must be because I'm a forgetful moron, lol.
Re: A 'Big' Nintendo Announcement is Coming on Monday
Could be Nintendo account related. But I'm guessing smash.
Re: Official Nintendo UK Store Launches 3DS Hardware and Merchandise Price Drops
I got an Animal Crossing CD for £2.50. Because why the fudge not?
Re: Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival and Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash Fail to Chart in the UK
I bought Tom Nook and KK Slider amiibo. Thats about as close as I will get to owning amiibo festival.
Re: Nintendo Download: 26th November (Europe)
I'll never understand why an NES VC game gets released on Wii U but not 3DS.
Re: Live In The UK? You Could Find A Sega Mega Drive In Your Stocking Come Christmas Morning
"According to UK newspaper The Daily Mail" is where I stopped reading.
Re: Mega Man Legacy Collection Gets a Budget Price as a Download-Only Release in Europe
That's a bummer, I much prefer a physical release. Still, it's gonna be a lot cheaper than tracking down all the original carts.
Re: Random: Check Out This Saxophone Cover of the Link's Awakening Overworld Theme
My favourite Zelda game. And a fun cover too.
Re: Final Fantasy's Cloud Is Set To Cause Some Strife In Super Smash Bros. On Wii U And 3DS
Even I'm pumped about this and I'm not a final fantasy fan in the slightest.
Re: Feature: What We Expect from Nintendo Direct - 12th November
I expect the world on a plate and nothing less. ;P
Or a fun new eShop game à la boxboy, whatever.
Re: Photos With Mario Arrives in Europe With Special eShop Cards
My local Sainsburys recently got rid of all their Nintendo stock, including eShop cards. I'm confused.
Re: The Next Nintendo Direct is on 12th November
The hype train is back on the rails
Re: 3DS Firmware Update Now Available, Stability Remains The Focus
Just in time. Chibi Robo Zip Lash froze on me last night. This additional stability is welcome.
Re: Sega Themes Are Coming To Your 3DS This Week
Oh these take me back to the early nineties. Mario sucks! SNES < Megadrive! Who needs Zelda when you've got Gunstar heroes! Man, I was such a raging fanboy. I'm buying the lot.
Re: Chibi-Robo!: Zip Lash Endures Awful UK Launch as Mario Kart 7 Bundle Deals Drive It Up the Charts
I'm really liking Zip Lash. It's far from perfect, but I have barley put it down since I got it. It's one of those games that's fun to go through and complete 100%.
Re: Nintendo Download: 12th November (Europe)
Those Sega themes look awesome. I'll get them all. But where are the Saturn and Dreamcast themes?
Re: Nintendo Download: 6th November (Europe)
Where are those Sega console themes? I really want them. Oh well, Chibi Robo will keep me occupied until they show up.
Re: More Details Emerge on How Miitomo Will Work
This is exactly the sort of oddball unexpected thing I expected (oxymoron). Trust Nintendo to do something weird that no one asked for. I'll look forward to giving it a try.
