I guess short term it wouldn't matter keeping 3D All Stars as a permanent release but if Nintendo adds N64 support to the online subscription then they might feel a bit cheeky charging for SM64 when if it's included for 'free' with online. If this isn't the reason and these games aren't available seperately in the future... then yes it's a poor showing for fans unable to get it during the limited release window.

I don't get the negativity around this game... I does exactly what I was expecting from a modern Banjo Kazooie style game. I'm 10 hours in and loving every second. The nostalgia is nice but this game definitely brings a new feel to the genre.

Ordered through Amazon.UK initially gave the 9th... so I really wasn't expecting a launch switch. But they updated the delivery date a few weeks back and delivered it Friday no issue.

I'm remember as a Kid getting a Gameboy Colour with Pocket Bomberman and Tetris DX for my Birthday ... the idea of a New Nintendo Handheld with Super Bomberman R and Puyo Puyo Tertis early in it's lifespan fills me with all kinds of Nostalgia. Can't Wait.

I think the main issue is though it doesn't need any apps it is a bit naïve of Nintendo to not expect demand for them, given that it's kind of the standard for modern tech. Yes you could easily get away with not using them but just as importantly it wouldn't hurt if they were all on there from launch.

My first Gameboy game (with Tetris) on my first Nintendo console and I've been hooked every since. Actually gave this a play through on my Super Gameboy a few weeks ago... love the music and the level designs are still great fun. I remember my older brother had one he told me pressing a,b, start and select would open extra levels... of course it just reset my game... good times.

As much as I'm looking forward to this... It's essentially a reminder of all the games that Rare don't make anymore. The N64 was my first home console and Banjo K/T were a big part of my childhood. That fact that a true Banjo adventure has yet to see the light of day is truly sad... one of the greatest games companies with some truly memorable IP's has just been left to rot for 13 years despite being own by one of the leading names in gaming. During Rare's long Microsoft years, I've never understood why they bought the company if they had no intention of use them to make Rare games??? It's just sad.

Given the time lapse between the PS4 release and NX (whenever it comes) it if doesn't match the PS4 for power... then why bother. The Wii U struggled heavily for third party support. I buy Nintendo for Nintendo games but if they had a better mix of big release I'd happily just buy Nintendo. Nintendo got lucky with the Wii in terms of not competing on power but as the price of making games gets higher Nintendo needs to have a console on par with Xbox and PlayStation so developers can make games without changing/downgrading and cost them more money, especially when they aren't going to sell as much as the other version. The NX would have to be something truly special or the Wii U might be my last punt on a Nintendo home console.

Also... it's still trying to push the Wii U so anyone on the fence about getting one (despite the great games on it) will be unlikely to get one if they know all the bells and whistle of the NX. Why buy a questionable current gen when you already know what's coming... keep it secret and keep the Wii U alive a little longer (just about).

Got all 4 on pre order... lovely set of figures. It's cool that they're back in stock so quickly.

Restocks at last... by the time I checked Little Mac and Shulk were gone... but decided to mop up the rest for my collection of Smash figures... Captain Falcon, Wii Fit and Wario... not bad Amiibo day.

Excited. Day one purchase.

What's to revive... just a Wii U version is all anyone wants. Funny that they never bother to revive Mario Kart, Mario, Zelda, Smash or any other franchise. As long as it's good quality and fun to play... more of the same is fine. Pretty sure fans only get pissed off when they don't get anything... the amount of time between Star Fox games was insane... how long are we going to wait to see F Zero, A true Metroid game and a Mario game that's in the same league as Galaxy???

missed a trick not offering the game and all 4 figures... that would be tempting for a lot of fans who want the figures... just not 4 copies of the game.

Normally I like characters to stay the same out of respect for the characters... but that female link concept artwork looks amazing... I'd play as her. Perhaps the next game should offer the boy/girl choice to keep everyone happy.

If I could find them in the shops... I'd probably buy them all. I've only seen a few amiibo come back in stock on Nintendo UK... 6 months of wave releases and no restocks. It's a joke... stop making new ones until you can meet the demand for the stupid amount that are already out. It's a shame that they don't seem to be learning or care about the fanbase. Nintendo's entire business rests on a loyal fanbase and games aside Nintendo seems to be lagging behind the competition right across the board.

Odd is the right word... as much as I love Nintendo... I just don't understand why is struggles to give fans what they want... Amiibo stock, DS/GBA on 3DS VC, Gamecube games on Wii U VC, User ID's that make it possible to access purchases should the worst happen. Nintendo may be the most unique and creative Video game company out there but it is failing to keep up with the competition where it matters.

Banjo is my all time favourite game, so glad this is being made... just hope it balances new ideas with the ripping off of ideas from the older games... even the background music in the KS video sounded very close to BK style music. Hopefully this kind of hype might end up with Microsoft finally making a true Banjo sequel.

Poor Wallet... thought it would just be the Mario Kart DLC this week for me... but I'll probably get all the Kirby games that I'm missing off VC and Super Circuit too.

Sold out already... not good... at least I got them... wasn't so lucky with yesterday's amiibo

Come on... how has nobody not noticed the massive error in the articles... the 380 exclusives in 2013... that really would have made it a must have console... shouldn't that read a dozen if that?

@VeeFlamesNL Game is taking pre-orders of £89 to £99 on starter packs depending on your console.

This had my interest big time until I saw the price... compared to Infinity and Skylanders... I don't get the justification of charging double just because it's Lego... which I think makes it look cheap and nasty. Add on £30 for the level packs and as much as this probably will be a very enjoyable game... there's no way I'd ever pay that much for this.

@NintendoFanBoy16 Here's hoping... It would be unusual to not restock a product that has been sold out for nearly half a year. Supply and demand... there's plenty of demand... very little supply.

I'd be tempted but this is too expensive for what it is... the starter pack is double what it should be... and the lego figures are just that... lego figures. I know it's meant to be Lego but it just feels keep and nasty to pay so much for so little. At least Amiibo feel like a solid collectable you can display... even the Lego Portal looks tacky. £50 starter pack and £5 a figure is all it's worth.

So bad that they keep releasing new ones when over half the past waves are not in stock... poor show Nintendo.

Toad...FTW. Everyone on the Banjo Kazooie wagon... you're just torturing yourself... as long as Rare is owned by Xbox you will never see another BK game on a Nintendo console... or a decent on an Xbox one for that matter.

Wish they'd stop releasing new ones and replenish the stock of the ones that are already out.

I had... and still have very little interest in Adult themed games... as a kid I was happy to smash around on Mario Kart and Ocarina of Time... I did however get several games that were rating 15 and 18 such as Perfect Dark and the Turok games... essentially because my parents judge that I knew the difference between really live and gaming ... and despite shooting monsters and people neither game felt inappropriate... I actual found the games themselves were too difficult to play at that age. It should be the parents' call but they should perhaps do a little research it the type of games they let their kids play and if possible play it themselves first.

I'm a traditionalist, for me Link is and always should be a guy character, because that's who he is. If Nintendo want to create a Zelda game with a new female lead or have Zelda as a playable character that would be awesome gender swapping seams a bit disrespectful to the character. Would you ask for Sonic, Mario, Samus, Lara Croft etc to mix it up... no because they're icons of gaming as is the Hero Of Time himself.

Loving the DBZ one!

Is it still a micro transaction when it cost more than a full retail game to buy in game content?... I'm really surprised that this even exist as a Nintendo game. I guess you don't have to spend any money but those options are far too steep.

You can't made a bad game and expect good sales. Especially when people expect more from sonic... despite his shaky 3D history.

Hope this is what it says on the tin... a classic old school adventure wuth collectables and character... please please please

I hadn't given the idea of Nintendo themed TV much thought... though as soon as I saw the title of this article I was filled with a longing for a live action F Zero... Need For Speed/Fast and Furious with a futuristic setting... I'm so there.

I've seen a few rare figures recently that haven't interested me, Although it's tempting to buy for resale, I left them on the shelves hopefully for fans or collectors as I'm not liking the stock issues and have no intention of paying over the odds.

@paburrows It's 1 of each figure... I'd be happy with that, just tricky finding them.

I feel very sad for all the consoles on the display that never get played with... and probably never have. Who needs a dozen n64's? That said the collection is pretty wow.

Ouch... at least Charizard's preordered... only him and Wario left of the wave 4 when I checked... got Zelda in though so kinda happy. Would've loved Marth.

How can Nintendo not understand the demand for its products. Surely they must realise that it's the dedicated fan base keeping them going because take Nintendo IP's out of the equation a Nintendo would have died out years ago. I get that they don't want to flood the market, but a Zelda Limited edition of a console upgrade was always going to sell well. I guess if Nintendo don't want my money... nobody's having. Will not fund this kind of gamer exploitation.

Don't see the point of releasing duplicate characters so soon... how about replenishing stock of existing figures... that said Charizard, Pac-Man and Toad look awesome.

Missed it... been checking all day... had the afternoon off... boom sold out.

Been tempted to get a XL for ages... and the New 3DS XL seemed as good a time as any... if I can find a Majora Version... Nintendo has once again taken my money like candy from a baby.

Suppose that's the way things work, just sucks for everyone that would've loved one but didn't get an email (like me) and would've bought one for personal use not resale.

Shouldn't have watched that... I was already excited... is it the 13th yet?

aww was hoping for a Wii U remake... might need to get an 3ds xl to play MM3d on

Quiet news day...

Might have to throw some money Impact Winter way... looks cool.
