@steely_pete @Ooccoo_Jr It says on the NSO+ video uploaded by Nintendo UK; "Active NSO + Expansion Pack membership required to access DLC at no additional cost" So you need an active subscription to access the DLC. You don't keep it after your subscription ends.
@KingMike Yellow is definitely the nicest-looking Gen 1 game on VC, in terms of both the colour and the actual sprite work (though I still think Red/Blue Squirtle is the cutest). Shame they aren't releasing Crystal (for now anyway).
I wasn't a fan of it when it was in Steam early access and there didn't seem to be much more added to change my mind. I'll just bear the wait for Dragon Quest Builders 2 instead I think.
fyi for anyone interested in this pad, you can get the original Wii U controller for £16, or a special Pikachu themed version for £20, both on Amazon. It's a pretty good deal if you just want a controller for classic games on the Switch, and I imagine the Switch rerelease of the controller will be sold for more than this.
@Fandabidozi the Switch "d-pad" has worked well enough for Sonic Mania, Mighty Gunvolt, and Puyo Puyo for me, though that might be because I don't roll my thumb around the d-pad like some people do.
"HURRDURR ONLY PEOPLE WHO WANT TO GIVE HER BIG TITS WANTED THIS, CENSOR AWAY NINTENDO!" What if I wanted to make a female character that doesn't have the same sized breasts as every other female character in the game? What if I wanted a character with small boobs? You can have a muscle slider for guys but can't change something on a woman's body that changes from person to person? Yikes.
The major concern isn't even the character customisation and outfits because I could deal with those, but they've removed/changed references to previous works by Takahashi. You don't change someone else's work like that. It's like if Miyamoto released Zelda U with a Pikmin easter egg and they changed it to be a set of flowers for literally no reason.
All these people saying the censored version is better when NoA have also removed all fictitious religious references, as well as renamed references to previous games that Takahashi has worked on just goes to show the people who actually care about this game.
This is why translations are better than localisations. A good translation doesn't change any of the content, just text to make it playable in a different language; you know, what literally everybody wants. Localisation changes the script, character names, content and other things to make it appealing to dumb Americans who can't handle somebody in a mildly revealing outfit. It annoys me so much that NoA's garbage Treehouse team got this game when NoE did such a fantastic and faithful job with the first game. If NoA had localised the first game, Shulk would be named Steve and he'd be wearing a full body undersuit.
I bought a Wii U day one and while I regret buying it too soon, I don't mind another console coming out next year (probably because I won't buy it unless there's a big hype game in 2016 for it). I especially don't mind if it's a handheld/home console hybrid because that would solve all of the drought both the 3DS and Wii U have seen, since Japanese third parties are far more prominent on the handheld side.
Probably should have clarified that this is a model kit, meaning you have to build it yourself (not that that's a bad thing). Hopefully they can get the final product to transform without extensive parts forming.
I would have bought it if they'd cut the Fecal matter and made classic style Mario Party again. They were close this time too, but they split up the classic gameplay from the boards that were made with effort and locked it behind Amiibos.
Call me if Mario Party 11 gets it right.
@Einherjar nope, which is why I'm not getting it. I can't be bothered to charge a Wii remote to play a game that should be playable with a pro controller.
@NintyMan They don't have character-specific weapons. Only Link adds the spinner while every other Amiibo gives random material, items or weapons for scanning them.
Yeah, don't discount the game or even put it on a week one sale or anything. 33% the second time you buy the game doesn't make up for the half a year delay.

Mario Kart 8 DLC which is already paid for and probably Nightmare in Dreamland.
Re: Mario Kart Super Circuit Arrives on the Wii U eShop This Week in Europe

I'm sure they'll release it when they announce Mario Kart 8 DLC Packs 3+4 at E3 :^)
Re: Mario Kart Super Circuit Arrives on the Wii U eShop This Week in Europe
@Dolphin64 the original DS served me well from 2005 to 2011.
Re: Nintendo Download: 16th April (Europe)
Probably Pandora's Tower since it's the first game that can be played with the Gamepad/Pro Controller and of course the Mewtwo DLC/Smash update.
