Ham-n-jam

I'm hoping the Switch turns out like the 3DS by the end of its life, hell the 3DS didn't even have an eshop when it launched, and look at it now. Adding a bunch of features without slowing down the home menu much would be the best outcome!

Was heavily considering getting this on my laptop, but put it off and sorta forgot about it. Definitely getting this now!

Rex/Pyra are surely gonna be in smash, but can we please get the Zekenator in as well?

Also I need Shulk as a returning character!

I like how we don't even get a release date for the release date lol

Been waitin' for this!

60fps will always be the superior option in games like these, but it's really cool that the devs are giving people options!

@singingbrakeman I'm thinking it might have something to do with the Switch having such a small storage capacity, and games having auto-update features? I'd imagine that some people would get pretty upset if 90% of their memory was taken up by an auto update patch for a game.

@BornInNorway81 Check out this article: https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2018/01/everything_you_need_to_know_about_nba_playgrounds_complicated_enhanced_edition

Basically the devs had to re-release their patched game under a new title because patching the original release would've made the file size too big for Ninty's liking.

@gspro15198 Yeah don't worry, the font size is much bigger compared to XCX. You shouldn't have any problems reading it, assuming you aren't half blind

@Melkac Yeah, it looks like I either misread the title or it was amended to say "home console", I was thinking about the 3DS MH games.
On a side note, I think a MH Switch exclusive game has the potential to sell really well. A great-looking portable MH would be amazing!

Huh, I was under the impression that the newer Monster Hunter games had sold 2mil+.
Congrats to Splatoon 2, I think it deserves it!

Thumbnail is pretty bang-on for which games are gonna get the most votes. My top 3 would have to be: Xenoblade 2 #1, Zelda BotW #2 and Splatoon 2 #3, with Mario Odyssey not far behind.

Whatever the GOTY turns out to be, can't deny this year has been awesome for gaming!

Even just the white under Rex's smaller pupils looks much more expressive and angry. I'm really digging the changes.

@Yhdekskymmenen Discord can be pretty great for meeting a bunch of people that play games you like. Just find a server for some of your favourite games and then chat to others about it. I've met some really nice people on there!

Not as many people would have been using the internet to search for preorders back in the Wii days, either.

If Nintendo made the Switch discord compatible, it would be amazing. Voice and text chats, plus they could make some 'official' discord servers that you could join for specific game series.

I've basically given up on the use of other social media now lole

Thank you so much, Monolith!

"The Switch lacks a killer feature"
Remember when that guy removed the console from the dock and played Zelda BotW on the go? No?

3am wake up it is!

@DrDingus The game has recently been released on the Wii U eShop as a Virtual Console game, so I think those games get a re-review.

Haha, looks just like what my cousins and I would do together!

@Rei I think it's a Mambo Number 5 reference

@MagicEmperor Ha, you just reminded me of this! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Vy4hpXh7aI

They always said that Wind Waker was the game that debuted Cat-eyed Link!

An animated movie based on the original Xenoblade Chronicles, please! That would kick ass!

Hmm... At first I was worried that the gameplay won't be like the main series games, but after some thought I think I like this idea more. It will presumably shorten battles for quick bursts and it shouldn't detract from the value of the main series gameplay mechanics, so I won't get burnt out from the turn-based gameplay by the time Sun and Moon comes out.

For those looking for some good dsi ware games I would recommend Photo Dojo and Aura aura climber, they are both really good fun!

Good to see Xenoblade Chronicles and A Link Between Worlds getting spots

Smash Bros. will never get stale!

No Destiny Deoxys .

And when the SA-X appears in that jungle area after defeating the spider boss (Yakuza)...
I remember being super freaked out to the point where I turned my GBA off. The timing and thrilling music used is perfect!

I happened to read this article while listening to an Earthbound Smiles and Tears remix. Very touching.
I am 16 and Iwata has fuelled my inspiration to start learning computer programming and start making my own video game. Without a doubt, I will not forget the impact he has left on my life. Thank you.

Sakurai most certainly deserves a good long break. His team has done miracles with this game!

Awesome! Sceptile is my second favourite Pokemon, after Rayquaza. Though I doubt Rayquaza would actually make it due to size constraints.

I really want Professor Layton, but then again any character approved by Mr. Sakurai is a character approved by me!

... And even less than a Little Mac (amiibo), too!

@cfgk24 Same here, the wait is killing me!
Luckily both of my parents are going out for a whole day tomorrow, I wonder what I'll be doing...

Rest In Peace PAL version.

@c1pher_c0mplet Give it a go! Playing with random people is really fun! The only times it is frustrating is when they have a poor connection, or when you struggle to convey the correct method for the puzzles through the icons. The icons do work very well for the most part, though.

I struggle to quickly find randoms online enough as it is... D: I don't think I really need a quiz to filter others out.

@Gooberfish Yep, Gamexplain has confirmed off TV play.

Just loaded up some eshop funds for a pre-download! Super hyped!

Only things that puts me off in this game are the lyrics in the soundtrack and the lack of the playable character's voice acting during cut scenes. This game looks amazing! Really couldn't care less about the absence of Japanese voice acting and the insignificant censorship changes.

Still using Squid puns for an Octopus game... Noice!

Dammit, this is going to happen during my study leave from school. Now what am I supposed to do all day on Monday without Mario Maker, Smash Bros. For Glory and Monster Hunter 4U online?!

I nearly thought that this meant that SNES games were announced for 3DS virtual console. Dam!

Well, looks like I'll have to get the black New3DS as well. Man, I already put off buying a New3DS from November last year to wait for the black's release, but I couldn't resist when Majora's Mask and MH4U came out so I got the white one. Ah well.

Is there an English version of Shulk or is it only Japanese? (the voice I mean)

@Timvp2120 Don't forget Monster Hunter!

So are any of the levels changed at all or have I just forgotten about the appearance of the section shown off in the second GIF?

Rest in Peace my micro SD card space...

@Whopper744 Convince some friends to buy MH4U and play together! I didn't really like the MH3U demo when I first played it. Then the MH4U demo came out which has online. I played with my cousin which was very fun and convinced me to buy it. The first couple of hours suck (just gathering stuff and hunting annoying small monsters) but the amount of satisfaction that you get from taking down your first Gore Magala, etc. is amazing. So much content and customization. Go for it!
