What a ridiculous price point, seriously either they greatly undershowed the functionality of the thing, Pokémon Go went way over budget and they have to make back money or are crazy. Even if this thing was £10 I'd have to think about getting it let alone over £30 for what little it does and how much of a wild card Pokémon Go feels like.
@Nintendude789 I don't particularly agree with you that most techs are glitches (would actually like a list if you are going to use words like most) a lot of Melee and Smash tech in general transfers over to 4 it's just nowhere near as useful on average like dash dancing and shield dropping.
I mean at least they look nice I guess but the content unlocked is pretty naff. @Grumblevolcano The only thing I can see happening is Octalings and that's a maybe.
Not surprised or annoyed by this, actually a logical decision they need big games for NX otherwise it will sink like Wii U did. @FX102A Your comment made me lol, I'll be doing the same though.
I guess this is good incentive for non-Wii U owners but personally this won't help convince me to buy especially if it hinders the time it takes for other new games to be made.
Do I think Bayo is ridiculous from a mechanical aspect yes because Witch twist being frame four and having a hitbox on both sides a well as dive kick bouncing off shields and of cause Witch time but it's only been 2 months and a Bayonetta has won a major in a strong region like the US. Basically in my opinion it's far to early for these decisions to be made and I think it's a knee jerk reaction to the fact Bayonetta forces you to play Sm4sh completely different then the rest of the cast.
I love these games but just like Earthbound this is a rather cheeky tactic on Nintendo's part using nostalgia to charge us more then the standard rate of a GB VC game.
I quite enjoyed the original 2008 game but the formula never changed enough to convince me on picking up a sequel as the original still keeps me satisfied if I ever feel like playing such a game.
@Senario Pokken has LAN which will most likely be used for tournaments as I'm sure I read local multiplayer runs at a lower framerate (30fps) where as LAN runs at 60fps.
@rjejr And that's a bad thing considering the Xbox One will be 3yrs old or so by that point and both the Xbone and PS4 have proven to be slightly too weak with games being scaled back to run on them.

Re: The Legend of Zelda for Wii U Will Be The Only Playable Nintendo Game at E3
Even if Zelda is amazing this is a crazy move by Nintendo.
Re: The Legend of Zelda Wii U Has Been Pushed Back to 2017, Will Release On NX As Well
Not surprised or annoyed by this, actually a logical decision they need big games for NX otherwise it will sink like Wii U did.
@FX102A Your comment made me lol, I'll be doing the same though.
Re: Video: Fans Mod Goku Into Super Smash Bros. For Wii U
@Detective_TeeJay Let's be real for a sec the game basically has a bunch of anime styled characters, don't see how one more tips the scale.
Re: Rumour: Nintendo Is Planning A Series Of Wii U Remasters For NX
@roboshort Hence the first part of my comment stating that.

Re: Rumour: More Claims Made For New Legend of Zelda on Wii U and NX, Gender Choice For Playable Character
@WireWare She was right about Paper Mario and countless other things no reason to doubt her.
Re: Rumour: More Claims Made For New Legend of Zelda on Wii U and NX, Gender Choice For Playable Character
"I heard from multiple sources that you can choose between a male or female as your playable character in Zelda"
This doesn't bother me but I know many will moan about this if true.
Re: Splatoon Update to 2.7.0 Will Bring Us The First Volume of Sheldon's Picks Next Week
Non of these particularly intrest me much if only Wasabi Splattershot had Kraken.
Re: International Game Developers Association Issues Critical Statement Over Nintendo and Alison Rapp
@LexKitteh Please try to keep the conversation about the subject at hand, her gender is not one of them.
Re: Competitive Super Smash Bros. Scene in Spain Prepares to Ban Bayonetta
@RainbowGazelle How so? What are you even on about?

Re: Competitive Super Smash Bros. Scene in Spain Prepares to Ban Bayonetta
@shaneoh Sorry but that is a seriously silly idea.
Re: Soapbox: No, Star Fox Zero's Controls Are not Bad or Broken
Not the most promising compliment tbh.
Re: Pokkén Tournament Holds Steady in UK Charts as Monster Hunter Enjoys an Unlikely Boost
@Achoo http://www.shopto.net/video-games/wiiu/WIIUMO01-monster-hunter-3-ultimate
Not £8 but this is why it had a huge sales boost.

Re: Nintendo's Official UK Store Opens Pre-Orders For Fire Emblem Fates: Limited Edition - Rapidly Sells Out
So very very annoying.
Re: Guide: Getting Started With My Nintendo
I miss the physical rewards to be perfectly honest, they felt far more special.
Re: Nintendo's Gold Coin Prices Point the Way to Freebies
Welp I only buy non retail games on the eshop like indies etc so won't be expecting much gold.
Re: Digital Foundry Breaks Down the Resolution and Framerate in Pokkén Tournament
Kind of disappointing but the framerate is the most important aspect anyway.
@liveswired Sm4sh Runs off a modified version of Brawls engine not Melee.
Re: Pokémon Go Field Test is Underway in Japan, Though Leakers Are Getting Removed
Well its to be expected otherwise it would effect the number of people buying the next entries on 3DS.
Re: Rumour: New Nintendo NX Controller Images Surface and Set the Web Alight
I don't think I want anything like that as a controller, say what you will about the gamepad it had every button needed to play games.
Re: Editorial: Nintendo's Virtual Console Revolution Must Wait as We Pay Once More for SNES Games
If it wasn't so expensive this wouldn't be as much of a problem, but paying over £7 for a 20+ year old ROM is a bit ridiculous.
Re: Live Blog: Watch the European March 2016 Nintendo Direct - Live!
On mobile and not home so missing stream hype
Re: A Wii U and 3DS Nintendo Direct Is On the Way
I feel this will focus a lot on My Nintendo accounts (flipnote release EU maybe) and Star Fox amiibo.
Re: Digital Foundry Gives a Thumbs Up to Twilight Princess HD, Though There Are Framerate Dips
@zool hotukdeals.com/gaming/deals/new
There now I've saved you paying ridiculous prices.

Only thing doing Rare justice is KI.
Re: Video: METAGAME Is A Movie About The Wild World Of Competitive Smash Bros. Players
@Uberchu Because players actually have fairly interesting life stories like most people just someone was there to document it ie Samox.
Re: Trademarks And Logos For The Next Pokémon Game Surface Online Ahead Of Tomorrow's Nintendo Direct
And I was right no Z.
Re: Zavvi's 20th Anniversary Pokémon Pokébox Is Now Available For Preorder
Well I don't know what is inside so how do I know whether or not I'm being ripped off.
Re: Pokémon Red, Blue And Yellow European Pricing Is Confirmed
I love these games but just like Earthbound this is a rather cheeky tactic on Nintendo's part using nostalgia to charge us more then the standard rate of a GB VC game.
Re: First 4 Figures Opens Pre-Orders on Awesome Star Fox Arwing Collectible
For $300 I'd need a mini Fox/Falco pilot.
Re: Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games Gets Dated for Europe
I quite enjoyed the original 2008 game but the formula never changed enough to convince me on picking up a sequel as the original still keeps me satisfied if I ever feel like playing such a game.
Re: Site News: Welcome To The Brand New Nintendo Life!
Absolutely amazing work @antdickens sites is looking great.
Re: The Game Lineup for EVO 2016 Has Been Announced
@shingi_70 Seeing as its more popular then ever your wish has a slim chance of coming true.
Re: The Game Lineup for EVO 2016 Has Been Announced
@Senario Pokken has LAN which will most likely be used for tournaments as I'm sure I read local multiplayer runs at a lower framerate (30fps) where as LAN runs at 60fps.
Re: The Game Lineup for EVO 2016 Has Been Announced
@Hachiko Thank you for derailing the comments section.

Very tempted now can't decide between this and the American one for Fates.
Re: Rumour: Online Survey Mentions NX's 4K Video Streaming, 900p Gameplay And Hybrid Hardware
@rjejr And that's a bad thing considering the Xbox One will be 3yrs old or so by that point and both the Xbone and PS4 have proven to be slightly too weak with games being scaled back to run on them.
Re: Fire Emblem Fates New Nintendo 3DS XL Model Confirmed, Along With DLC Details
And not upgrading to New 3DS XL paid off if this comes to the UK I will be buying it.
Re: Nintendo Download: 21st January (Europe)
Come on Nintendo just release Smash Bros 64 already, after Genesis 3 would of been perfect.
Re: Pokkén Tournament Modes and Details Emerge
@Tsurii LAN basically exist for tournaments otherwise the game would fail to create a scene.
