JUNKER

My favourite is the hanafuda theme to go with my 3ds hanafuda cover plates.

Shame the discount is now only 5%, was going to top up with store credit but I guess I’ll wait.

I’ll buy an N64 controller but seems wrong to charge more for a service that might be cheaper than Sony’s & Microsoft’s online fees, but it woefully under supported for a few more old games & to endure the drip feeding of additional titles. This should have been included in the standard online service.

Why is it only a three button Megadrive controller? Are they either not going to release any six button Megadrive games or expect you to buy a new controller when they eventually do?

@2ukaskew I too ordered if from Shopto, hasn't arrived today either, Royal Mail tracking states they are going to delivered tomorrow, no idea where the Joy Cons I ordered from them are either. Amazon though won't deliver my Loftwing amiibo because it was damaged before being sent & they dont have anymore.

I wonder what you won?

Mine is the gold Twilight Princess Link on Epona statue. I was able to get quite a few rewards over the years, Pokemon Box on Gamecube, Game & Watch Ball, Game & Watch collection on DS, a ton of soundtracks, Luigis's Mansion statue. Recently I got the Japanese gold Mario platinum member reward.

More than an hour later & pre-orders are still available so either the one per household has stemmed the bulk orders or Nintendo has a lot of stock, both are a good thing.

What I always found strange is that you can't have Hello Kitty as a villager

Got my pre-order in, didn't think we were going to get them in the UK, I didn't think end of March literally meant the end of March.

@TheFrenchiestFry You should see the themes you can use when using custom firmware, they use smaller game icons.

@Bunkerneath I still play Badge Arcade everyday too, I don't use the badges, just like collecting them

They should do a wearable, light up PVC model & they could do a line of variations such as Dark Samus & Light Suit. Seems a bit of a missed opportunity if its just a solid resin helmet. Still tempted as I own the standing Varia Suit, Light Suit , Zero Suit & original Varia Suit statues.

Disappointed, but every time a Direct is announced everyone makes wild assumptions to what is going to be announced. I'm excited for Skyward Sword, a game I already own & was hoping for Metroid prime another game I already own.

Nintendo should be exciting us with new games & new ip’s & the rereleases should be the filling in the months whilst we wait, instead we wait for rereleases (that we can play now, just not on Switch) & don’t get any new games or ip’s.

100%, like the same journalists that said 100% Metroid Prime Trilogy HD was ready to be released.

@TheFrenchiestFry & Starfox

I dont expect anything for Zelda in this Direct buy we might get a Zelda Direct next week to tie in win its anniversary.

I wonder how much will be taken up with going over content recently released for Animal Crossing?

Still want a HD Skyward Sword for Switch

Fingers crossed for Metroid prime Trilogy HD

Does that mean there is a chance stuff will drop on the eshop on Thursday?????

The SNES edition is long out of print & commands a high price on Ebay.

@Beatrice WOW, I forgot I have this, still sealed with the lanyard

@NinjaWaddleDee Try getting a boxed copy with the lenticular cover

Its crazy to see physical retro game prices continue to rise when access to emulators, everdrives, SD console mods, compilations, re releases & digital makes playing those games easier & cheaper, but I guess people aren't satisfied until they own the original artifact.

Nintendo UK has just confirmed we are getting these in Europe too. Great news as a pack of these sell for well over a 100GBP.

You know its going to be another Fire Emblem character to tie in with Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light

Shopto does have the same pre order swag as the Nintendo store!

@blueocean is this because there isn't anything to talk about?

I hope a real first party Direct is due soon, this year looks bleaker for Nintendo fans as weeks pass & speculation gets desperate & grasps at any chance for something.

Seriously looking like Nintendo doesn't have much coming this year & is desperate for content, the year when both Sony & Microsoft have new consoles & new games.

Pre-orders up on the Official UK Nintendo Store, released on 25th September.

Physical copy of Paper Mario, I might get Monsterboy.

@slowdive I really hope so, every Nintendo Direct/Mini I've been expecting its announcement & is disappointed everytime it isn't.

@bobzbulder as much as I want to believe, I think alot of these "leakers" are guessing/speculating. It would be the same as me saying theres a Zelda HD Trilogy due because Breath of the Wild 2 has been delayed. If the Metroid Prime Trilogy was done, i speculate Nintendo would've released it as planned as it would've been factored into their fiscal earnings.

Part of me feels the Mario Collection is like the long rumored Metroid Prime HD Collection. Something that sounds feasible, with lots of "insiders" saying its ready to be announced during the next Direct & where is my Metroid Prime collection?

@RareFan I forgot about Banjo

Fingers crossed Sakurai shows the next wave of Smash amiibos's, Joker, Dragon Quest Hero (all four) & Terry.

Fingers crossed for a demo after the direct & show amiibos for Dark Samus, Pokemon Trainer etc.
