@NinjaWaddleDee @GreatPlayer Fade out? Switch around the corner? Guys, 3DS isn't getting replaced by the Switch, it will get it's own successor in due time.

And honestly, the New 3DS absolutely kills the Switch as a portable in every way.

"No more second screen gaming"

You mean, except on the 3DS and it's successors?

Well, the next DS family iteration will play 3DS games, so why would I care? Shame about WiiU though.

Technical issues six months before the game's launch? Goddammit that is unacceptable! /s

Am I right in assuming that the dock provides extra graphics processing to enable a higher resolution for the TV output?

"A clear cooling vent / fan at the top."

No way it has a fan. Just because something has vents doesn't mean there's a fan.

@Eksarahn I noticed the trailer was shot with a camera.

Looks better than expected. A decent WiiU replacement, though still inferior.

Of course this is no 3DS replacement, not unless you want to die of laughter. Considering the utter perfection of the latest iteration of that portable, I see it being in play for a long time still (decades even) with slight improvements.

@rjejr "That $500 24" 3D display Sony made never sold, no matter how many times they kept dropping the price."

OMG yeah, it actually became a best buy recommendation for a TV it's size, regardless of 3D and gaming.

Summer 2018? Should have been released Summer 2008!

I like what I read though, hope the graphics are more cartoony than in that picture.

@Hey-Cha-La "I'm steering clear of Project Zero, that ultra creepy ghost stuff will haunt your dreams for weeks afterwards."

C'mon, admit it, you're peeved there's no sexy lingerie. (I know I am)

@kincl4

From your website:
"UPDATE: Better still, the first 100 copies of Issue 2 will also receive a glossy double-sided Terranigma poster (seen on this webpage) created exclusively for HyperPlay RPG by Anna Vuong!!!

PRIORITY FOR ISSUE 2 WILL GO TO BUYERS OF ISSUES 0 & 1.

So if you haven't got Issues 0 and 1 already, get them quick!"

You said you already sold 1,000 copies of each 'zine. Not a very good chance then of getting the poster even for those who already bought issues 0 and 1. I would implore you to make a notice immediately once you've shipped all the posters. Thanks.

@Equinox I gave you a like because hey, it's true.

@oats-81 You make lemon slices, right?

I approve.

Where's the video?

@Jeronan Input lag and response time are two completely different things. Input lag is how much time it takes from when the TV receives the frame to when it is displayed on the screen. It depends on how fast the TV processes the images. When it's significant, you can miss jumps, dodges, turns, have trouble aiming and the like. Generally the lesser the input lag, the better your gaming performance. This has no bearing on watching TV, movies, anime and the like, outside of having to synchronize audio with video when using external speakers.

Response time is how much time it takes for pixels to change color. In general the less difference in color and luminance the faster they change (hence why lowering contrast on a TV improves response time). Black shapes traveling over a white background, for instance, are a challenge for every HDTV, since pixels have to change all the way from one extreme to the other. This is where the term ghosting comes from, it's when the response time is so bad, in motion everything looks like a blur. Response time can be measured in milliseconds, but also in motion resolution. The greater the motion resolution, the faster you can move pixels across the screen while they maintain their sharpness and color.

@rushiosan Are you running latest firmware on the TV?

@rushiosan Well as i said my LG smart TV from 2013 has but two frames of lag, and as far as I know with Sony you should never have problems. Maybe in lieu with switching to game mode you could try going further in the menu and switching off everything there is to switch off, but indeed there are still problems with input lag in many TVs. Before purchase you should always scour the web for available info on input lag for the set in question.

@Pj1 "As an adult I don't really wanna sit on the floor playing this."

Thing is, it's not really a distance thing, TVs have gotten much bigger. When I was a little kid, I played games on either a tiny monitor or a small TV. A video game, especially a NES game doesn't need to take up your entire viewing area; in fact it's detrimental to the gameplay.

@rushiosan I thought smart TVs were supposed to be getting better with input lag. Heck, my LG from 2013 only has two frames of it. You should have gotten a Sony, apparently they're the best as far as input lag is concerned.

Very disappointed with the price. I want it to be a lot more expensive dammit! Would normally mean bigger game, but this could potentially be a sign of decently paced episodic releases, which wouldn't be bad either. Regardless, I will be all over it.

@AmyGrrl 100% sure it's using the old, less expensive hardware.

@AlexSora89 I'm fine with Thanos not being a jerk as long as you don't say that I'm not a jerk. Cause that would really hurt my self-image as the world's biggest jerk.

Yes, I watched the US presidential debate. Call me egotistical but they don't compare.

@Meowpheel Where the fee is 99.9%

@Jumpman What's up with "Crowdfarter"?

@ThanosReXXX I can sleep peacefully knowing that I am, so I see no reason why you should be lying to yourself. Also, the way you give yourself compliments makes you look a bit self-involved. I would be scared if I thought of myself as not having faults, since I wouldn't be much of a human being if so.

@XyVoX With tax it translates to 47UKP, which isn't that big of a difference. Oh, how many times will people have to keep reminding others that US prices are pre-tax (since each US state has a different tax)

@ThanosReXXX "Removing a comment here doesn't remove it from my inbox... "

But it is made clear that the person changed their mind about making the post, which everyone is entitled to do. What was that supposed to be, public shaming of PorllM? Cause it failed.

Take this from another jerk: you sure can be a jerk sometimes, Thanos.

@ThanosReXXX They picked all those papers right up, right? Endangering their lives in process. And right after being bruised from the fall. It's not something that deserves a good spanking, almost every businessman has had their papers fly off with the wind in a public place at least once.

Is there something that can charge a 3DS?

@WiltonRoots Then look forward to Colossal Cave Adventure 4K, with next generation font rendering!

@WiltonRoots That should be doable, but I don't know about standard power. How about Nintendo power, would that be okay?

@Vincent294 Ah yes, the Sony Xperia Play. It was featured quite prominently in the recent movie Eye in the Sky, in which it was used by the guy who antagonized captain Phillips to control some kind of miniature drone.

Great idea!

@YoshiTails That abomination of a movie doesn't have any sort of relevance to the world of Super Mario. It's a disgrace not just to Nintendo, but to mankind at large.

Very nice song in the trailer. Cute visuals too.

@ULTRA-64 The discount is on the "Just for You" subpage of the eShop after you touch yourself (press the icon with your Mii, that is), and it's valid for four weeks.

@Wolfgabe More on the spot? I read the newsletter Nintendo sends me, and there was no notice about "A whole lot of your platinum points are going to suddenly expire, trolololololololololol". Now how am I going to ever get the TP Picross game if the points continue to expire every month?

@Wolfgabe Is it entitled to suddenly realize that two days ago I could have had the Twilight Princess Picross and now I can't?

Hmmmm, I'm missing Bayonetta 1 since I had to make do with just the Bayo 2 single when the specials were sold out. 17.5GBP with the discount makes for a decent offer.

@invictus4000 Um, how is the NES emulation on the PS1? If it's good, is there a particular reason for that, like, some similarity in hardware?

@BranJ0 The Shipshape Aquarium DLC case was the best of the lot in Dual Destinies. It was also a lot better translated, but SoJ doesn't have that problem with the main game. Hope this DLC will be just as whimsical and wild!

Overall an awesome week.

Can this project clothes onto my body while I walk around naked?

@Ryu_Niiyama Oh no they gave in.

"We here at BBC wish to thank SLIPPY_ICE for the heads up that CNN was reporting on this development."

@Ryu_Niiyama I don't read Japanese, but even the smaller pink text looks readable to me. Open in new tab, then zoom. Or drag and drop to a folder and use image viewing software to zoom in. As I recall, I already found the best available images which were on a Japanese web site by first finding lower quality images then using Search by Image function on Google Images: https://images.google.com (click the camera icon)

@Kmno That would depend on if they shot anything on film (even 16mm looks loads better than video did around that time), which is doubtful. Best we can hope for is a deeper look into their photographic and video archives, which would be awesome enough.

@killuaxgod It kind of does. (:

@SmaMan Freeze framing Simpsons DVDs I saw all kinds of weird ****.

High animation quality to my eyes.

@kupo I agree.
