Honestly it's not like Miis were gonna go anytime soon anyway. They need to be on switch 2 to maintain backwards compatibility with the few switch 1 games that use them.
@Moonwatcher Fair enough. Wasn't doubting you but just seemed a bit weird to hear that. Doubt it'll affect Pokémon though. Haven't watched horizons but I can't imagine any reason to censor it.
@johnjohnjohnjohnjohn Game Freak has 169 employees and started developing Scarlet and Violet in 2019, while developing Legends Arceus. And sure, many other companies and individuals helped out. I'm not sure if you know how much effort it takes to develop a game like this, but to put it in perspective, Nintendo EPD has around 900 employees and started developing Breath Of The Wild right after Skyward Sword, in 2011. I'm not trying to stick up for this bad practice because The Pokemon Company shouldn't let this happen but keep in mind they are only human.
Haven't looked at the results yet but I'm certain after yesterday one option will be the most popular. Y'know, that Ganondorf.
EDIT: Oh. Didn't realise the results weren't gonna be shown yet. Now I want to know!
8/10. Absolutely loved being able to see my favourite characters finally on the big screen (I've never seen the live action one and plan to avoid doing so at all costs). If I had to view it critically, I'd complain about there not being much plot. That and how fast-paced it all felt. But since when did Mario have plot? Because I want to avoid spoilers, I'll just say that this film is a weird baby created by Nintendo and Illumination, and I love it!
I've got my aqua OG 3DS which is still in somewhat decent condition. I had a metallic blue New 3DS XL, but that broke through wear and tear (and sand). And now I've got my SNES edition New 3DS XL.
Be honest, in general the 3DS XL got the best special designs overall. But ignoring that the Blue Xerneas and Yvetal design is perfect. Special, but not in your and everyone else's faces about it.
It's the most recent one I've bought, but the Super Smash Bros Theme 3. I like the way the red and silver stand out, along with the Smash 4 background music. Before that I would've said the Black and Gold Stars. Just like the music that comes with it.
Usually my switch. My New 3DS XL is definitely more portable, but I feel a bit conscious if I'm playing an older-gen console in public. I don't know why.
This is where I WOULD say they'll release the next N64 game, but Goldeneye released not long ago, so probably not.
Maybe some news on Mario Kart DLC?
Just please tell us SOMETHING about Pikmin 4, though!
As a NSO subscriber and a Pokémon violet player, I'm spoilt for choice this weekend. Want to try and get Greninja first try, but I guess I've always got next time too if I (likely) fail. I'm also enjoying Snipperclips so will also play that some more. And of course I'll fit in some Goldeneye too.
@Olliemar28 The first two images are the wrong way round.
EDIT: Picked Japan. The NA one is just too bland and says nothing at all. The EU one is fine, but clearly just a downgrade to the Japan one.
Just bought Adventure Bar Story and Just Shapes and Beats yesterday, so most likely just be playing those. Both seem fun and the music in beats and shapes is outstanding!
Wow. Must've been a heavy decision to make for them to just drop ash and Pikachu like that. Granted, he's achieved his goal of becoming a Pokémon master now, but still. And this is coming from a person who doesn't even watch the anime.
Let's see... 1. Minecraft 144hrs 2. RPG Maker MV 139hrs 3. Pokémon Shining Pearl 88hrs 4. Super Mario Maker 2 85hrs 5. Pokémon Shield 85hrs So... Not too dissimilar to last year then. (Says alot about my gaming habits tbh) But honestly, I enjoy being able to look back on what I've played and hope Nintendo continue to do this.
Close call between Japan and America honestly. The japan one has a typical horror feeling. The American one makes the monsters look scary. Had to pick Japan because it all goes together so well, but the American one still looks impressive.
@WaltherP99 You think? Knowing apple, they'll probably copy the flip phone in a few year's time and sell it off as new technology. And still somehow make it more successful than Samsung's.

Re: Random: The New Denpa Men Is Getting Roasted For Its Translation Issues
@Olrun It hasn't even been translated to any other language, just gives you an option of Japanese and Engrish.

Re: Pokémon Horizons Anime Is Coming To BBC iPlayer Next Month (UK)
@Moonwatcher Never heard of anything like this. Do you have any examples?
Re: Random: Place Your Bets On How Long This Super Mario-Sampling Rap Track Stays Live
It's already gone 😆

Sakurai and The Infographics Show.
Re: 3DS And Wii U Online Play Ends In "Early April" 2024
Why is no one asking the serious questions? Like will everyone's favourite internet browser still work after this?
Re: Charles Martinet Will No Longer Be The Voice Of Mario
@Tempestryke True. But not one as globally recognisable as Martinet's.
Re: Charles Martinet Will No Longer Be The Voice Of Mario
I feel sorry for whoever has to replace him. They have one hell of a legacy to match with.

Re: Poll: How Many Of You Have Actually Visited 'Minus World' In Super Mario Bros.?
I actually did it for the first time a few weeks ago. Really felt satisfying to pull off.
Re: Nintendo Japan To End Repairs For Wii U When Current Parts Inventory Runs Out
Good on them for keeping it up this long. Had to happen eventually.
Re: Zelda Boss Wanted Certain Tears Of The Kingdom Areas In BOTW, Prevented By Wii U's Limitations
I always wondered how they'd improve on BOTW, I only just remembered it was actually a Wii U game.
Re: Random: Sega And Uncanny Brands Team Up To Reveal A Sonic Waffle Maker
Sega's really making the news today...

Re: Nintendo Expands Its Switch Online N64 Library With Another Game Next Week
@Liam_Doolan Just letting you know the video you linked is set under private.
Great! Can't wait to finally try out this game, even though the entire selling point of it is now gone.
Re: Poll: How Many 3DS Consoles Have You Owned?
I've got my aqua OG 3DS which is still in somewhat decent condition. I had a metallic blue New 3DS XL, but that broke through wear and tear (and sand). And now I've got my SNES edition New 3DS XL.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - Super Mario Bros. 2
Would go for the Japanese one but the pink border ruins it for me.
Re: Switch Online NES And SNES Controllers Are Back In Stock (UK)
I'm sure they'll be there for a while, don't worry guys!
...
Oh look! A scalper.
Re: Talking Point: Which Pokémon-Themed Nintendo Console Has The Best Design?
Be honest, in general the 3DS XL got the best special designs overall.
But ignoring that the Blue Xerneas and Yvetal design is perfect. Special, but not in your and everyone else's faces about it.
Re: Nintendo Switch Online's Next Free Game Trial Is Ready To Kick-Off Next Week (UK)
Should've been free to begin with.
Re: Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Version 1.2.0 Bug Supposedly Corrupting Save Files
Didn't this happen in X and Y? Not trying to defend them, it's horrible they've let this happen, but just saying.
Re: Talking Point: Which Is Your Favourite 3DS Theme?
It's the most recent one I've bought, but the Super Smash Bros Theme 3. I like the way the red and silver stand out, along with the Smash 4 background music.
Before that I would've said the Black and Gold Stars. Just like the music that comes with it.
Re: Pokémon Scarlet And Violet Tera Raid Bug Replaces Paradox Pokémon With Eggs
I've also noticed that raids end before the timer finishes. I don't think this happened before the update.
Re: Pokémon Sleep Will Help You Get A Good Night's Rest, Coming This Year
I genuinely can't use that app. My phone needs to charge overnight.
Re: Nintendo Switch System Update 16.0.0 Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
Y'know, I kinda fancy some stability right about now. Sure wish I knew where to find some.
Re: Soapbox: Switch Is Great, But The GBA SP Was The Pinnacle Of Public Transport Gaming
Usually my switch. My New 3DS XL is definitely more portable, but I feel a bit conscious if I'm playing an older-gen console in public. I don't know why.
Re: Feature: Our Predictions For The February 2023 Nintendo Direct
This is where I WOULD say they'll release the next N64 game, but Goldeneye released not long ago, so probably not.
Maybe some news on Mario Kart DLC?
Just please tell us SOMETHING about Pikmin 4, though!
Re: Nintendo Improves Switch eShop's Search Function With Small QoL Update
@Serpenterror What confuses me is that they've already kinda got the functionality for it when you buy multiple DLCs. Just Nintendo I guess.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 28th)
As a NSO subscriber and a Pokémon violet player, I'm spoilt for choice this weekend.
Want to try and get Greninja first try, but I guess I've always got next time too if I (likely) fail. I'm also enjoying Snipperclips so will also play that some more. And of course I'll fit in some Goldeneye too.
Re: Random: Did You Know That Pokémon's HM 'Cut' Could Be Used On Tall Grass?
I knew you could cut grass, but I didn't know hyper cutter extended the range. There again, I haven't had much experience with emerald.
Re: Fantastic Co-op Puzzler 'Snipperclips' Is The Next Nintendo Switch Online Game Trial (Europe)
Yet another game I've been meaning to try out. I'll definitely be taking advantage of this.
Re: Random: YouTuber Speedruns Touching Grass (In Every Mario Game)
@Tober On an OG game boy screen everything is green. So technically no?
Re: Talking Point: What Game Do You Replay Every Year?

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes
As much as the EU/JP one is cool, it's so hard to look at! Pretty much had to pick the US one.
Re: Editorial: Happy Holidays From Nintendo Life
Hope everyone has a great Christmas and happy holidays! Here's to a good new year (hopefully...)
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (December 24th)
Can say without a doubt that my family will want to play Quiplash at some point this weekend.
Merry Christmas, all!
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Prince Of Persia

Re: Ash Ketchum's Time In The Pokémon Anime Is Coming To An End
Wow. Must've been a heavy decision to make for them to just drop ash and Pikachu like that. Granted, he's achieved his goal of becoming a Pokémon master now, but still.
And this is coming from a person who doesn't even watch the anime.
Re: Poll: Rate Your Favourite Switch Games Of The Year 2022
Forgot how many games were released this year. Can't really think what would be GOTY this year. There were lots of good games.
Re: Mario Kart 7 Gets Its First Update In Over A Decade, Here's What's Included

Re: You Can Get Your 'Year In Review' Nintendo Switch Stats Now For 2022

1. Minecraft 144hrs
2. RPG Maker MV 139hrs

Re: Sonic Prime's First Episode To Premiere In Roblox 5 Days Before The Netflix Release
Roblox?! Of all the things they could think of, why?
Re: Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Ranked Battle: Series 1 Gets Underway
Haven't got ScarVi yet. Is the image just misleading, or have triple battles silently returned?
Re: Random: More Kong Cameos Spotted In The Super Mario Bros. Movie
Kinda ironic that Funky's return is in a kart.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Castlevania: Bloodlines
Close call between Japan and America honestly. The japan one has a typical horror feeling. The American one makes the monsters look scary. Had to pick Japan because it all goes together so well, but the American one still looks impressive.
