Anyone visiting Tokyo should also check out Nakano Broadway. It's an old shopping mall a little bit out from central Tokyo (but easily reached by train, it's right by the station) You'll find a few floors there packed with stores selling games, figures, anime stuff etc.
Nice article. I've been to Super Potato a few times now, but always struggle to find the place; those Akihabara back streets are so confusing. I highly recommend a trip to Nakano Broadway too, for anyone visiting the Tokyo area. Its like a mini Akihabara across a few floors of a shopping mall.
I've haven't had any issue with the card popping out yet. But I do find my little finger rests across the card slot (especially while playing monster hunter), which is quite uncomfortable. This might actually be useful.
I sent emails to Nintendo customer services, PR and Satoru Shibata (if [email protected] is correct) this morning.
I explained how I head been left out of the promotion, despite being a very loyal fan, having owned every console since the NES, being an ambassador of the original 3DS and buying a Wii U on day 1.
This evening I received the email from Nintendo, and was able to buy an ambassador bundle.
I love mine. Totally agree with Zodiak13 about it feeling like an old school handheld.....totally takes me back to my gameboy days. Its so comfortable to hold too. Also, is it just me, or do DS games look better on it than they do on either the 3ds or XL?
I like the art style, but i'm a bit concerned about the emphasis on 3D in the dungeons. I always play with the 3D off, as I find it very uncomfortable.
@xkaj0x I do! Kudos to Dave Cox for offering up this lame excuse. Though since Konami have already published PS Vita titles, I suspect he fears the their backlash, if he were to state the grim truth that the PS Vita is dead in the water. The Vita is a fantastic piece of hardware. Beautifully made, and sporting the kind of power that I always dreamed a handheld would. Ultimately though, it is the software that makes a system. Which is why my Vita is gathering dust, whilst my lovely Pikachu 3ds I cant put down......well except for when i'm playing my wii U

I cannot believe the article didn’t mention Astro Boy Omega factor! Easily one of my favourite games on the gba.
Re: Where To Pre-Order Nintendo Switch OLED Model
Might pay to keep refreshing Smyths page. I did and one came in to stock to collect near me. Out of stock again after I preordered it.

Re: Reminder: Club Nintendo New 3DS Ambassador Promotion Final Invites Sent, Deadline at Midnight
To all those who did not receive an email !!!.

Might still be worth a try for others.

My mates and I still play Goldeneye quite regularly. License to kill, pistols only.
Re: This Amazing Luigi's Mansion 2 Diorama Is Now Available From Club Nintendo Australia
I'd have plenty of stars, if Nintendo didn't keep expiring them before I'm able to save for anything good.

Is it strange that I now want to download this out of some sick curiosity?

@ShanaUnite
I've been thinking the same thing. Crimson shroud is still £7.19, even though it is in the sale section.

Re: Rayman Legends Boss and Dev Team Protest Wii U Release Delay
I was planning to buy rayman eventually. However this will be a day one purchase for me now if Ubisoft stick to the original release date.
