@Mr_Pepperami There's a time and plaice for puns

@Curlynob

I agree with each part of that statement. Kudos.

Man, Nintendo will never fail to surprise me. You lovely, weird people.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Hopefully not in the same way BOTW was a 2015 title 😄

@OnBeingHuman For me that game was Turok 😂

@frogopus ah thank you! Never got into The Who and missed the reference. Must go educate myself.

Nice Offspring reference. Gonna give this game a miss though.

20 quid for a mediocre party game for three months? You can get a good game or two to keep for that price.

In fact I got 80's Overdrive and Pokemon Gold on VC just this weekend for €20.

It's pretty good Great look and soundtrack. Loving it so far.

@MsJubilee This made me laugh and is possibly the only thing that could save this film from being absolutely terrible.

@thesilverbrick
No you're right, it was this article here: https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2017/09/rumour_netflix_app_ready_for_switch_all_it_needs_is_nintendos_go-ahead

However comicbook.com quoted Reggie last month as saying "You’d have to ask the folks at Netflix".

So who knows?

Netflix app, twitch app and a decent (third party) browser.

That's my wishlist.

Pumped for this game but I hope this direct is more interesting than the last Xenoblade bit

@FTPinkRabbit @Rika_Yoshitake This gets me every time too. I used to work as a localisation tester and it was the same deal every time a big release rolled around. Some day one patches were so substantial that they included entire portions of the game. The builds barely had to be playable to pass final submission, they just had to reach basic functionality and legal standards.

@Kalmaro It's incredibly charming.

It's really frustrating having these workarounds and semi-functionalities. Full Bluetooth functionality isn't a big ask for a portable device in 2017.

Also, only @AlexOlney could be responsible for such beautiful phrases like "horrible nasties" and "oh-so-convenient lovelies". Wordsmith!

@SLIGEACH_EIRE

Port or not, BotW was optimised to the point where it played like a home built game.

Plus having a game of that scale portable is a selling point in itself, I see no problem with them having it as a launch title, us Wii U owners still got an uncompromised version.

At least we don't have to shell out for it.

If Crash remastered performs to their expectations, which it will, I see them sticking with that and leaving Skylanders to die.

@JHDK

Fast RMX is well worth a shot if you haven't picked it up already. Lots of content and pretty cheap to boot.

I've put almost 200 hours into Rebirth on 3DS alone. Absolutely getting this.

Now just to wait until the European release of Afterbirth+ ...

@Julien

This always gets me. Bad British accents are only made worse how many available British actors there actually are. I'm from Ireland and I find it hard to stomach American media with terrible Irish accents.

I worked as a QA tester with a big video game publisher and always got free copies of main releases. Everyone there did. Kinda odd that Nintendo's voice actors don't.

I liked GHL. I have it for 360, and it's still a nice party game. The new button config on the guitar is pretty nice, feels a little more like a real neck with the ability to simulate chords and so on.

That being said, they have very annoying microtransactions in it which makes the online versus mode a bit unfair, and the library of songs limited. You need tokens to choose a song, which are slow to earn but sold in the store.

I like the gameplay though. Maybe Ubisoft will be nicer to us than Activision.

I see them shutting it down. If they let every aspiring dev out there release updated versions of NES games, where's the incentive to 'rent' them for a month?

It looks class though. Definitely going to try this one out.

They have been loyal, but that loyalty has only been enough to keep the line open with Nintendo. Maybe it seems exaggerated due to the fact that most other publishers left the Wii U like a sinking ship.

We want an exclusive. BG&E 2 please

Read: The Wii U version is the best version because ignore the exaggerated price tag and buy it anyway.

The leaderboard is a nice touch, but the mark-up is mad compared to PS4. I'll get this on the Wii U, but I am an unapologetic fanboy. Not too much reason for people with two consoles to go for this.

I got my hopes up for gamepad functionality..again That's what it would take to make me buy a third version of Minecraft.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE
They should use that as an honest tagline when it's pasted up on every bus in the country

I read this in work and audibly laughed. Out of joy.

hah

I find it weird that Mutant Mudds is only well known among gamers. Super fun game and great to replay. would've been a mainstay had it been on the SNES.

But this: "and it's getting harder and harder for people to let a game to sink in and enjoy leisurely." This hit home with me. The trials of being an adult gamer! Affording all the games you wanted when you were younger, except now we have no time to enjoy them all. I love video games, work with them now and still feel like that.

NL isn't clickbaity at all. Sometimes a lil slow on reporting certain things but always great coverage and good writing. Even the rumour articles which would be the easiest clickbait articles ssay it pretty clearly in the title that they're just rumours.

Keep up the good work, I say!

On topic, smartphone knockoffs are almost unavoidable, but usually sub-par. No worries here for Nintendo

The problem as mentioned above was never with the fact that they're using generic Simplified Chinese, but that fans are used to legacy terminology. You'd be pretty annoyed too if 'Fire' as a type suddenly changed to 'Heat' etc. The inidividual differences would most likely be context sensitive to that region, not a linguistic difference.

That being said, it's not Nintendo's
localisation department at fault either, localising into Simplified Chinese alone will be a massive step for them, let alone a massive cost. The mistake was making the previous media so tailored

@BulbasaurusRex Came here to say the same thing, no way they'll miss the chance to try to establish Fairy type this gen.

@GravyThief Agreed. I also got that terrible Pokebox, but found out later that those Mew cards actually sell for a price close to the box's value. Maybe a few years down the line we'll get the last laugh

I was emailed a 13 digit code after purchasing the 1$ or more bundle and the eshop won't accept anything other than 16 digit codes. What am I missing here?

Tbh they could still have a strong E3 with Zelda, Pokemon if they wanted to, the new Dragonball Fusions game..

I'm ok with the 2017 launch. The most important thing is that devs have enough time to build up a solid release lineup for the NX rather than it launching at Christmas with a couple of big exlusives and a shallow pool otherwise - that's gonna lead down the same commercial route Nintendo needs to avoid.

And as far as E3 goes, there is currently a number of publishers and studios moving away from it, Nintendo could always handle it online via a direct. Let's see what happens.

Props for the lovecraft reference!

@alasdair91 Yeah, completely agree. Graphical fidelity isn't everything, but smooth visuals and/or a nice art style is expected. The game feels kinda cheap at this point, doesn't seem to be a whole lot of depth to it.

@elekid
Ah cheers. Amazing how we get bundled in with the UK in most international stores but miss out on so much -.-

Does anybody know how they'll handle the Irish release? Game has closed in Ireland, so we won't be getting the codes along with the UK. We do have Gamestop, but it wasn't mentioned in the article or on their website..

Historically Nintendo have always been the most generous in terms of content and replay value in their games. DLC isn't necessarily a bad thing, so long as it isn't an inherent part of the story that players have to fork out extra for. Nowadays the games industry thrives on releasing a thin campaign and some MP options, only to release the same amount of content again as DLC. At least the Amiibo itself has some inherent value, unlike a €20 invoice for MP maps.

As for it being in the game and unlockable as opposed to add-on - I think people are making a big deal out of it. The end product is the same. At least with Nintendo's original titles, you're generally getting better value than multi-platform releases.

Looks like a nice line-up, but I would've loved to see Mario Kart 64 on the 3DS VC.
