HEY ALEX. 1. Keep making those jokes about American politics. Only whinny Americans get offended and who really cares. Our whole political system is one big joke anyway.
@NEStalgia I tried playing on PC and thought the same thing. I tried it again when the Wii U version came out and had a blast playing co op with my son. I think it helped playing with someone that knew what they where doing instead of someone watching you play and trying to explain it to you.
I feel these kinds of ports give Nintendo a bad reputation. The developers could have done a better job with this if they wanted to, but it seems that they are willing to put out a sub par product to get it out the door quickly to capitalize on the lack of games. Now we have a four year old game that is pushing the limits of the new Nintendo hardware. I played through the Wii U version and enjoyed it a lot. It seems like they made a really good version for the PS4 and then quickly tried to down port it to the Switch.
Being a Nintendo fan, I always check out the Nintendo section when I'm shopping and I've noticed a lot a bare shelves in the Nintendo console sections at Target Walmart and Best Buy.
@Bflury I don't see why the Wii U game pad couldn't be synced to the switch. Obviously they want to distance themselves from the Wii U and not show this feature but they could also sell a controller with a touchscreen similar to the game pad.
Does anyone with an Amazon preorder in NA have a ship date yet. My orders page says delivered but the order details page says we'll email you when your order is ready.
I will probably try homebrew on one of my 3 3ds's after N stops supporting it. I just feel it's wrong to do something that N is actively trying to stop on their platform.
Good luck finding machines that just cost a quarter. There is a Mrs Pacman machine near me that is 50 cents a play and the Dave and Busters and Brunswick Zones make you put credits on cards and charge weird amounts like 7.2 credits per play. That is what has turned me off arcades.
Is this game out in any region? I don't think it is and I'm a little surprised that there isn't an embargo on reviewers releasing video of review copies.
This game is broken. Between the voting on dungeons, the lag, players dropping out, and losing connection, I'm barely progressing at all. Then when you play the single player and you fail it takes forever to get back in the game. It's a lot of replaying levels and wasting time.
@Deviant_Mugen I agree. I averaged about 800 - 1100 per match before the update. Played about 10 matches after the update and was averaging about 400 - 600 per match. I don't know if it was unfamiliarity of the maps or the new weapons were overpowered. I guess I'll have to relearn the game.
I went to my GameStop today to inquire about my pre order and they had no idea when they would be getting them. Then they "convinced" me to put $5 down on a Toad amiibo.
I don't understand this... Do I have to buy a whole new starter kit to play or will the Marvel characters work with with the old software? My kids love this game but it's been a pretty big investment so far and I don't know if it's worth buying.

Is there an update on the physical release date?
Re: Soapbox: The SNES Classic Edition Pre-Order Farce Proves Nintendo Hasn't Learned A Thing
Had one in the cart at Best Buy, then Walmart and then Target and was unable to complete checkout for each one. What a joke.

@Alikan There is also a .us domain. Why don't all American sites use that?

Retro is going to surprise everyone with a new Luigi's Mansion.

Re: Poll: What Wii U Ports Would You Like to Play on Nintendo Switch?
I've never bought a new system and thought "Boy, I would really like to rebuy some old games"
Re: SteamWorld Dig 2 May Get a Physical Release on Switch
Holding out for a physical copy of Shovel Knight. I would definitely prefer physical over digital in most cases on this system.
Re: Nintendo of America's Store Opens Orders on Individual Nintendo Switch Docks
It would be cheaper to buy the $30 ac adapter and just move the dock since you'll need to buy it anyway and the dock is not that hard to move.

@Luna_110 you'll play by strapping the joycons to your feet.

Did they give them chargers as well?

Re: NES Classic Mini Demand "Greater Than We Anticipated," Admits Reggie Fils-Aime
I will take a lesson I learned from Amiibo and wait till they flood the market and start selling them at half price.
Re: Retro Fighters is Releasing a NES to NES Classic Edition Controller Adapter
I can't see why third parties are making accessories for systems that nobody owns.
Re: Nintendo Switch Will Be a Single-Screen Experience
@Bflury I don't see why the Wii U game pad couldn't be synced to the switch. Obviously they want to distance themselves from the Wii U and not show this feature but they could also sell a controller with a touchscreen similar to the game pad.
Re: GameStop Won't Offer Pre-Orders for the NES Classic Edition
Talked to the Best Buy person that worked at the store pickup counter about this and she said Best Buy also would not be putting this up for preorders
Re: Nintendo Download: 6th October (North America)
I look forward to this article every week. Most weeks are like this week, disappointing.
Re: Hardware Review: Pokémon GO Plus
Does anyone with an Amazon preorder in NA have a ship date yet. My orders page says delivered but the order details page says we'll email you when your order is ready.
Re: Metroid Prime: Federation Force
I buy most first party games from N on launch day. I'm gonna wait on this one till it's the right price.
Re: Talking Point: 3DS Homebrew Development Causes Another Game Takedown as Nintendo Maintains Its Tight Grip
I will probably try homebrew on one of my 3 3ds's after N stops supporting it. I just feel it's wrong to do something that N is actively trying to stop on their platform.
Re: Harvest Moon: Skytree Village Is Ploughing A Furrow Towards The Nintendo 3DS
I'll buy it.
Re: Feature: A Night at the Arcade
Good luck finding machines that just cost a quarter. There is a Mrs Pacman machine near me that is 50 cents a play and the Dave and Busters and Brunswick Zones make you put credits on cards and charge weird amounts like 7.2 credits per play. That is what has turned me off arcades.
Re: Minecraft: Wii U Edition is Getting a Retail Release Soon
I would have bought the disk if it came out first
Re: Guide: Which Nintendo 3DS or 2DS System Should I Buy?
Is there anyone reading this article that doesn't have at least one of these systems yet? If so, did it convince you to buy one?
Re: SNES Games Finally Arriving on the New Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console
If it's anything like previous VC's, after these games are released they'll trickle out one release about every other month.

Re: Australian Rating Confirms That ZombiU is Shuffling Its Way to Xbox One
This was probably my favorite launch title and I think more people should play it but I can't see the experience being as good without the game pad.
Re: Reggie Fils-Aime Acknowledges the Need to Improve amiibo Stock Availability
@MasterGraveheart I saw a bunch of Meta Knights at my local Best Buy today.
Re: Poll: What Did You Think of Nintendo's E3 Digital Event?
@TheHumbleFellow a lot of these games were revealed at the last E3 and the rest we either already knew about or were underwhelming.
Re: Launch of The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask New Nintendo 3DS XL Bundle Brings Inevitable eBay Listings
Target has them in their ad next week. I wonder if they will be getting more.
Re: GameStop Pushes Back Some Wave 3 amiibo Pre-Orders
I went to my GameStop today to inquire about my pre order and they had no idea when they would be getting them. Then they "convinced" me to put $5 down on a Toad amiibo.
Re: Poll: Have You Been Able to Buy the Super Smash Bros. Controller, GameCube Adapter and amiibo You Want?
I need Lucario and Rosalina. I hope Target and Toys R Us have them in the stores since the pre orders are sold out.
Re: Talking Point: The Time Is Right For A Nintendo Phone
Would I buy it? Yes. Do I know anyone else who would? No.
Re: Reggie Fils-Aime Emphasizes the Nintendo Difference and Considers Competitors Such as Steam and Amazon
MS and Sony should be worried about Steam. Only their few exclusives will not be on it.
Re: Poll: Buying Bayonetta 2 - eShop Convenience or Battling for Copies in Stores?
@Peach64 I have only had problems with preorders on Amazon here in the US so if I want something on launch day I go to a "real" store.
Re: Poll: Buying Bayonetta 2 - eShop Convenience or Battling for Copies in Stores?
I think I got the last copy at a Best Buy and it was hidden behind another game.
Re: More Minecraft Mania Looks Set for Wii U With Stone Shire
@Patchouli I think Mojang had their chance. If they even hinted that they had plans to make Minecraft for the wii u or 3ds I would agree with you.
Re: Talking Point: The Wii U May be Best as One of Two Consoles, Just Like Wii
I don't have enough time to play all the wii u games I would like to. Another system would just collect dust.
Re: Poll: Which Is The Best Super Mario Platformer?
Sunshine would be up there if they released a new play control version for the Wii U. Fludd was a good idea but would be better with a Wii mote.
Re: Majora's Mask Fan Project Gets a New Trailer, Even Showing a Scene on 3DS
Another clue from nintendo was the Majora's mask hanging on the wall in Link's house in A Link Between Worlds.
Re: Developer Hints At How Minecraft Could Shape Up On 3DS
My kids barely play the iOS version on the iPad so I doubt they would play a downscaled version on the 3ds. I would buy the wii u version though.
Re: Disney Infinity 2.0
I don't understand this... Do I have to buy a whole new starter kit to play or will the Marvel characters work with with the old software? My kids love this game but it's been a pretty big investment so far and I don't know if it's worth buying.
