Re: Study Suggests Rising Smartphone Ownership Among Kids Is Hitting Nintendo Hard

JosieC84

So true! I gave my 8 year old niece my old 3ds XL because I got a New 3ds XL but she hardly ever uses it because of the damn iPad. Her parents spoil her with too much iPad playtime. She plays the ipad most of the time when getting back from school. She's got a brother but he's even worse. I'm seriously thinking about taking it (old 3ds) back. I don't like using mobile touchscreen for controls very much.

Re: PokkΓ©n Tournament Beats Digimon to Number One in Japan and Boosts Wii U Sales

JosieC84

Great news about the Wii u sales but still didn't surpass the mighty PS4 and PS Vita. Talking about ps vita - I was in Japan a couple of weeks ago, I spotted two passengers on the train playing their ps vitas. One of them was playing minecraft and the other was playing dragon quest builders. They really dig building games there. Didn't see anyone playing on 3ds but I managed to get 10 street passes πŸ˜πŸ‘in 2 days where as I only get at least 1 in two weeks in AustraliaπŸ˜’

Re: Twilight Princess HD Holds Top 10 Place in UK Charts

Apparently the biggest selling title is The Division which is unsurprising since they're HUGE fans of shooters and overhyped games over there. I watched it on Twitch and in my opinion it looks boring. It's sort of like Destiny and Rainbow Six mashed together.

Re: Reaction: Nintendo Titles Miss the UK Top 40 Once Again

@arnoldlayne83 I said IN A WAY they are carbon copies. I didn't mean they are exact replicas. And what do you expect on a Nintendo forum? You'll be expecting the same on a PS4 and Xbox one forum. As a owner of all three consoles I've seen three sides of fanboyism. It's terrible!

Call of Duty Black Ops 3 is the best selling game of 2015 worldwide, even after ALL those great games like Witcher 3 Splatoon and MGSV released. This explains the arrogance of the gaming community. I just wish COD would disappear (although it would make a huge impact in the gaming industry) so people can experience what other great games there are out there. Gamers really need to open their minds.

@Boxmonkey In a way they are right about those being carbon copies - GTA v is the same as IV except with massive space to explore and you play three characters. You do the usual missions like drive from A to B, killing certain people, annoying car chases etc. The characters you play are always tough criminals. The Witcher 3 has the same gameplay mechanics as the others but world is huge to explore and same character that you can't customise his appearance.. Fallout 4 is the same as Fallout New Vegas except it became more of FPS focused game and has audio talking. Bloodbourne is a different game altogether but has same idea as Dark Souls series. COD Black Ops 3 is exactly the same as others, just with different skins and weapons.

Re: Nintendo Games Absent from UK Top 40 to Kick Off 2016

@Mario_Fart Yes, that is a shame. I totally agree it's Nintendo's own fault for not trying hard enough for marketing in the UK. We've got a reasonable amount of shelves of Wii U games here in Australia. Not as many as the PS4 and Xbox One but noticeable enough. Maybe Nintendo had a bad history with the Brits'. Oh well, fingers crossed for the future.
