Was a good run! Would really have liked to win the final Splatfest in "going out with a bang" kinda fashion but no. I will remember it though, was lots and lots of fun!

Good to hear a major AAA third-party game is ACTUALLY heading to Wii U. I hope that means Darksiders 2 sold well enough...

I'm a bit ehhhh on Blast Ball. It's a good idea, and the fps controls are excellent, but it's got its problems:

-Major server problems, at least for me

>It's too hard to guage the impact you're making on the ball's direction

>The health of theplayers is too high so it's hard to kill them.

-When the ball speeds past you and closer to your goal it's really hard to catch up with the ball to turn the tide. Part of the problem is that opponents can shoot the ball into the goal and don't have to be anywhere near the thing. At least in regular football you the only thing propelling the ball into the net is a single person at a time.

@KingofSaiyanZ I'm sure that's what SEGA are thinking too...I think if it is a bust then they should just accept that Sonic perhaps shouldn't be a major franchise for them.

Idk if Sonic honestly suits a darker more epic tone. There's still hope for this though.

Love how it opens with "From the people who brought you the only two good Sonic games of the last ten years..."

That's terrible, I'm really sorry to hear. I can't say Ironfall was great but it gave me a lot of fun and you can truly tell how much passion they put into the product, especially it's amazing engine.

They need that "Now you're playing with power" slogan back

At first my pessimistic self was like "They must have so little faith in the game if they're stealth-releasing Blast Ball for free" but then I got it together. This is actually a great way to invest people in Blast Ball!

Kelp Dome is such an abysmal map. Yas dun goofed.

The fact that it's just some low-poly model in a pre-existing environment makes the whole thing look like some kid's video in Garry's Mod

@CharlieSmile Fact

URGENT BREAKING NEWS

NX is STILL a console with a brand-new concept coming in March 2017.

Mind BLOWN!!11!~!!!!

@Spoony_Tech Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars is that game. Really good antithethis to FE

Hope Monster Hunter can kep up the pace! It says a lot about Uncharted 4's popularity that Monster Hunter lost out to a 2-month-old game.

Thinking of Hana Samurai. Meant to be a pretty good game.

Otherwise, My Nintendo is a load of crap. You have to plough in money to get piffling discounts of games that you could have spent less on just straight-up buying instead of getting gold coins. The final days of Club Nintendo were better, which I never thought I would say.

@Undead_terror Yeah, I found out about this through the RebelTaxi channel. Would have been nice to see another one with online multiplayer, don't care if Pan doesn't mind it.

Not sure exactly what they meant by "We thiught it'd be popular but it clearly ctruck a nerve"

@CharlieSmile It doesn't. Doesn't negate me being curious. If you don't want to tell me, you've no obligation to.

I'm off on holiday during at least one of each date. Also missing out on the splatfest

@CharlieSmile If you can stand to play games on other consoles in 2D, then why not this game? I will admit, I'm getting the Vita version over the 3DS version of ZTD because the 3DS version doesn't have 3D, but in this case it's the only version you can get. I find it hard to understand the mentality of boycotting a game over incremental things like whether or not the voices or dubbed, 3D, that kind of thing.

@darkgamer001 Yeah, it's like Nintendo are saying "Even if it's not perfect, it's better than nothng"

I think it's impressive. Even if the games are already out it's still good that Nintendo UK are willing to push these games so hard considering how small the UK userbase is.

But yeah they should have shown Zelda.

@A01

Couldn't you have linked an apk?

it has very little processing power and cost him £40, so why on earth did he build it??

Funny how SMT4 was download-only but Apocalypse is retail.

I had a dream last night about the NX being a green DS called the "FlipFlop" that could run Breath of the Wild natively. I remember thinking in the dream "'FlipFlop', what a perfect name!"

The dream also contained a massive model GamePad, the sides of which were made of massive AK-47 rifles. Don't judge ;_;

@locky-mavo In the case of the references you mentioned there, they don't use any assets from Nintendo games. You can't patent things like level design or a bunch of words like "It's-a-me, Mario". Because if that were the case Nintendo would be trying to get money from he Fulbright Company simply for using the name "Nintendo". Hence why Nintendo never sued the makers of Giana sisters. Nintendo does get at YouTubers that aren't partnered with them; they claim ad revenue on their videos as opposed tho a DMCA. In the case of the Mickey Mouse cartoon, they have taken sound clips from SMB, but Nintendo is treating them differently because they don't want to have one of the largest media companies on their butts.

@syrupdash Later ONM was much better, less biased. That said, NGamer, throughout the generations, was better

@locky-mavo No, but Nintendo has taken action against similar homages, say, online, by means of cease and desist. A lot of the people who receive these don't have the money to fight Nintendo on the matter.

Nice on Miyamoto's end, but it also tells me that Nintendo's copyright policies are inconsistent and stupid.

The Layton movie? Might double-dip...

Is a ZTD review in the cards NL?

Kinda disappointed tbh. You have to spend money in order to gain the ability to, in some cases, spend a little less money...

No motion controls no go.

Y'know, I bet it's a cool game and all, but at the same time I would have quite lied a direct crossover between mainline SMT and FE

@RandomBlue People keep comparing it to Persona, but no previous Persona game has had the vibe of TMS. In any case the Hee-hoo references and the gameplay are traceable to SMT.

Kinda surprised actually. Good on TMS, I guess. i thought that in the UK its melodies would end on a Devil's Third rimshot

Didnt they say the series is leaving 3DS? I hope this is an exception :/

@Bass_X0 Well how 'bout King Koopa and Princess Toadstool? Nintendo ain't above that either

@ThanosReXXX The whole Brexit thing seemed like some kind of British form of "Make America Great Again!" crap...

@Grumblevolcano That's the problem with voting in Britain right there! Young people don't realise the importance of voting and as such voting is done in the interests of the here and now, not the future.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Yeah, it's an 82 now. Seems to be doing decently though overall

Also I don't ever count MyNintendo News for credibility, if only for the empire of trolls that reside there.

only the home page has been redesigned which is weird :/ would have been nice to have the whole thing given a makeover

NL hasn't reviewed the game yet has it? Why's that?

"Power-wise (that old chestnut) it's being related again to the upcoming PS4K / PlayStation Neo."

"Nintendo wants to avoid the price of the hardware getting too high."

They messed with Spyro, and now Crash I know Crash had some E3 presence, but where are the good old days of Spyro?

Very pleased with Nintendo's E3. Makes you glad that they announced that their E3 would be smaller, eh? And it's great that we got some surprises out of it too! Not their best E3 but a step waaaaaay up over their 2015 one!

I like that they didn't frivolously deny it. Props to you I&F ^-^

I love Humble Bundles but I don't want any of the other games and I get anxious from having too many games
