@LuigiBlood What I find most interesting is where this comes from. Brazil. Known for having some of if not the largest piracy rates.

If I recall correctly the switch is the only generation to not get an official price drop. All other systems went down in price as the generation went on. I got my 32GB WiiU in 2015 for 199 of I remember correctly. I guess the New 3DS XL also counts as it was always 199. But that is just one model.

When I first saw the trailer, I thought that might be a new antagonist similar to dark samus. But it probably is just a new suit.

I’ll just go alphabetical.

Living in a place that has temps between 35C and 39C for about half of the year, that's some tough advice to follow.

Not in the poll: A track builder.

“ A Link To The Past came out on November 21st, 1991.
Twilight Princess came out on November 19th, 2006.
When Twilight Princess came out, ALTTP was 5,477 days old (or 14 years, 11 months, and 29 days).
On Wednesday, Twilight Princess was exactly 5,477 days old.”

I like how you think.

The first three Prime games were labeled as the “Phazon Trilogy”. I would like Prime 4 to be the start of another trilogy with a new threat/antagonist.

1000 days since they announced that development had restarted. It had probably restarted some time before.

As far as DREAD is concerned, I’m about 7 and a half hours in according to the in game timer. Probably going to complete the first run in around 10 at 45-55%. As a parent it’s taken me about 8 sessions in 12 days to get that far. So to me that is what I would call a complete experience. Not too short, not too long.
Considering I have a lot less free time than I did ten years ago (when I could get through a 15-20 hour game in a few days) I certainly feel I get my money’s worth.

Similar thing happens with LED lighting which is more ubiquitous every day. If you’re sensitive to it it sucks. I for one am not really bothered by it. I am sensitive to the rainbow effect from DLP. It’s just something you live with.

What controller is the EU/UK getting? Three button but with MegaDrive branding?

What controller will be released along with this? I’d go for a full size DMG with Bluetooth

Super Metroid. The only metroid game that does not need a remake or update.

My daily commute involves crossing the border. 30 minutes on a good day, 2+ hours on a bad day. The extra battery life in V2 was a welcome upgrade. This larger and potentially brighter screen is a welcome upgrade as well. It all depends how you use your switch.

eBay should be happy. That 1.7 million in gross sales means about 221,000 for them. Best way to deal with scalpers is not to buy from them.

New super mario bros u. 2D. $60 (plus its a rehash)
Super mario maker 2. 2D. $60
Super smash bros ultimate. 2D $60
Tropical freeze. 2D. $60
Just a small sample. If you’re really bothered by 60 and live in the US, just buy it at Walmart and pay 50.

It is a full game and will sell at a full price.

@The_New_Butler Exactly. And even then they will look different to everybody.

I can so relate to this. Have done this many many times. Including BOTW. This policy means the windfish still sleeps.

@JasmineDragon Exactly. Even just looking at the picture you can tell the quality is really bad.

The premise might be a ripoff, but the tv designs are pretty interesting. Capturing different eras.

The “level” designs though, those need work. I’ve seen other builders make better ones with the official set.

Just got mine last week. Took my son for a locomotive, 500 dlls later we each came out with a big yellow bag. Had to choose between the NES and ECTO-1. Mario won.

Something similar happened to me. I seldom used discs in my wiiU and so when I recently tried to play Wind Waker HD I noticed discs could not be read. They would spin just fine but then show “disc cannot be read”. I originally had it in my entertainment center from late 2015 til about mid 2016. Since then The wiiU had been relegated to video streaming duty in my son’s room so I figured dirty lens as it was at the top of a cabinet that was seldom dusted. I decided to open it up to see what I could do. Turns out there was a coin in the drive. Right over the laser assembly. It was probably there since 2016 when he was a toddler. Coin gone, works perfectly.

@SpiderSquid I believe that was fixed as well.

So they were able to put in 662 out of 896. Not that bad considering all the rumors and such before launch. Still it sucks for those left out.

@roboshort I believe passing the Wii is almost a given at this point. If handled right it might surpass the DS. If it does that it would only be 1 million away from being the best selling console of all time.

@StevenG
Exactly. And assuming an actual consumer retail cost of 40 USD to replace a single joycon, 5 million only covers 125,000 joycons of the minimum 60 million that must be in the US alone. Most likely a lot more.
Even if it cost nintendo 5 dollars to replace one joycon. That would only cover 1 million. The 5 million figure is starting to look low.

Hey. We could 100% then, I don’t see what the problem is. Yes it can be hard. That’s why you tray again. As for the clipping, never had that happen in many playthroghs on the cube.

@Anti-Matter You don't. Hence the speculation that this would be for a TV-Only (and probably screenless) Switch (Pro). Or as suggested for use with the switch lite (no rails).

it's a decent deal if you are in the I need a pro controller and don't have Mario Odyssey camp. Unfortunately I am not in that camp.

Gonna work on moons 800-900 in Super Mario Odyssey. Stopped a few months ago around 627. Picked it up again this week.

A ratings board leak would hold more water (pardon the pun). Considering I never played it on the wiiU, I'd definitely give it a spin.

I got this image in an email from nintendo on my Japanese MyNintendo account on thursday the 6th of august. Didn't think anything of it then, don't think anything of it now.

I've never agreed with counting pokemon titles together by generation. Each game has its own SKU. And not everyone buys them all. Congrats to animal crossing!

As someone who skipped the wiiU I don’t mind this so much. I can see the price complaint as valid. However, some games included all DLC. I’m unaware of the cost but in some cases the port is a good value and others not.
DKC TF, as I understand little was added and it was actually more expensive than on wiiU.
MK8DX, all DLC was included, the game was technically superior, and had pretty substantial additions. That’s an example of a port done right.
NSMB U DX: not worth the price.
We’ll see how pikmin 3 fares once all is revealed.

As an adult, the play aspect is not very entertaining, but as a lifelong fan of both LEGO and MARIO, collecting all the set pieces and characters even if only for display is very attractive. Unfortunately I'm already over 225 dlls in and not even halfway there.

It's a great game. Of course everyone's tastes are different. I for one have tried to get into Ocarina and Majora's Mask and just can't. Tried on the 64, gamecube, 3DS and after two or three hours I just stop. The only thing I really dislike about Yoshi's Island is the perfect completion mechanic to unlock the extra stages. Makes it feel grindy. Whenever I replay it I try to get each stage perfect the first time through so I don't have to do it again.

I have always been a fan of both LEGO and SUPER MARIO since childhood (now, 41 with a 5 year old son very into LEGO). If Mario had a built in camera they would have nailed mi trifecta of hobbies right there. Now that i actually own the some sets I can say that the course building aspect is best fun for kids.
The models are actually pretty nice considering you are limited to the lego elements. Pirhana plants are pretty neat.
As far as mario, you need to get used to his look. From playing with him I see there is quite a bit of tech in him, the optical sensor and apparently accelerometers as well (he seems to detect impacts as well as speed).
Price: Licensed LEGO is never cheap.
Playability: so far seems a bit limited but maybe we will get the hang of it later.
Overall: I would give it a 7 out of 10.

I suppose as long as it passed rating (PEGI, ESRB, CERO) and doesn’t infringe on their properties then it passes. Although that las one did slip by.

@NintendoWiiDS I believe, but not 100% sure, that remaining stock is all that is out there. In the US walmart sold/sells it for 100 dollars. I was lucky enough to get one a couple of weeks ago along with a lone copy of ring fit. But I believe once stock is gone that is it.

Maybe I could see this being used to protect a special dock like the animal crossing one during transit or from clumsy hands. But given how few special docks there are compared to the normal ones, it would seem a really specialized product.

I have played every day for 57 days straight. Now not as much as the start. Still look forward to it but now i spend at most an hour a day when the first weeks was 2-4 hours a day. Still enjoyable though but I feel eventually I'll only check in occasionally.

I always found it funny that Leif comes to my island looking to score some weeds.
Anyway, bots will always take everything out of context. Some human should look at the warnings before they go out.

@Damo Totally agree. I’ve been a reader of the site only relatively recently (last 18 months) but I really love articles like this. So much so that It finally compelled me to create an account to comment. This article may not have gotten the traffic of others but it was meaningful traffic. All positive and many people learned something.

I had heard about Uemura but I also learned a lot. I really like that he considers the super nintendo to be a complete system that is lacking nothing and can serve as a basis for other consoles moving forward. I completely agree. So much so that the controller design has been pretty much the standard with only slight additions.

Keep this content coming guys. Excellent work!

PS: also from texas (south texas) and we rarely get below 80% humidity. Indoors we’re lucky to get it down to 60%. But I understand north texas is a different story.
