It won't be the last either. Gold Points gone, too. Hmm. Can't say I'm feeling enthusiastic right now. Could you prove me wrong, Nintendo? Or, well, I'll move on.
I wouldn't personally call the show 'garbage'—it's far better and more skilfully produced than that—but I get your point about it being light entertainment!
As usual Tom, an excellent read that highlights some key points. I agree that the 3DS has little to worry about at this stage. However, the Wii U has a far more difficult battle ahead. It's a challenge that Nintendo can meet though, they just need to make all the right moves.
Massive fan of the Castlevania series but never played Rondo! Just one thing, the game has a built-in save option doesn't it? Could someone just confirm this for me.
Personally I would like to see Nintendo take another crack at the new Disaster Day of Crisis IP. They really didn't help themselves with that game with little to no advertising. With a bit more polish that could be a great series. The first one while not mind blowing was quite a solid game in my opinion.
I don't really like the idea of no saving, then again Castlevania always was a hardcore affair. Konami the European release date better be soon, I'm hungry for more!

Re: Opinion: Honestly, I'm So Glad We Had To Wait For Donkey Kong Bananza
Slow and steady allows you to appreciate what you have. The veritable buffet of games we have today isn't always a good thing. Great article.
Re: Miyamoto Views Games As 'Products', Not 'Works Of Art', Says Ex-Nintendo Dev
Nintendo has always focused on fun and appealing broadly, rather than chasing trends and trying to impress. One reason why they're so successful!
Re: "One Of The Slowest Modern LCDs I've Ever Seen" - Digital Foundry's John Linneman On Switch 2's Display
And here I am thinking the games look excellent on handheld. I don't get it.
Re: Nintendo Shares New Image Of Switch 2 Ahead Of The Big Day
Lots of grey and black.

It won't be the last either. Gold Points gone, too. Hmm. Can't say I'm feeling enthusiastic right now. Could you prove me wrong, Nintendo? Or, well, I'll move on.
Re: Konami Adds Incredibly Rare Slice Of GBA Ninja History To The Switch eShop
Cool, but that price... I'll pass!
Re: Opinion: Scrapping Gold Points Makes Sense For Nintendo, But It's A Bitter Pill For Loyal Fans
'Nintendo knows you'll swallow it makes it worse'. I won't. If there's no replacement, I'll buy fewer games. Nice and simple.
Re: Nintendo Is Discontinuing Gold Points, One Of The Switch's Best Incentives
This is genuinely a terrible move. Has arrogant Nintendo returned?
Re: Bananas Donkey Kong Country Returns HD Platforming Problem Is Ruining The Co-Op Fun
Come on, Nintendo, this is just lazy. It doesn't suit you, either. Glad I skipped.
Re: Soapbox: 'Switch 2' Doesn't Really Need Backwards Compatibility
Never expected it to have BC myself. You avoid disappointment that way. If it does, great.
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp?
An excellent remake of some true classics. Advance Wars 3+4 next, please.
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp
Now we're talking. One of the best Nintendo franchises of all time.
Re: Metroid Prime Engineer "Let Down" By Exclusion Of Original Credits In Remaster
It seems a tad whiny and overly bitter, but I agree full credits would have been even better.

Re: Sega: Nintendo Should Support Mature Gamers

Re: Feature: For Your Consideration - LostWinds: Winter of the Melodias
Cheers for that Prosody, the smaller games still have a good chance guys.
Re: Feature: For Your Consideration - LostWinds: Winter of the Melodias
It's not my GOTY, however its easily in the top contenders for Wiiware GOTY. Maybe categorising them would be better so Wii GOTY and so on.
Re: Review: Planet 51 (Wii)
Thanks a lot everyone.

Great stuff, can feel the increase in speed already, or maybe that's the few numbers on here at the moment due to what WW's said.
