Probably the Nintendo IP that actually best fits film, in my opinion. Limitless possibilities for story, and the protagonist isn’t, and never has been, a silent one. Until then, at least we still have A Fox in Space.
@rvcolem1 Far from the only one that knows the answer, but no, 3 and up is the lowest it goes. It’s essentially the same as E for Everyone. I guess PEGI doesn’t recommend that anyone under 3 years old should play video games at all. 🤷🏻♂️
@Deviant-Dork …It’s an article about games on sale on the European eShop. A storefront that doesn’t use USD.
They make completely separate articles for recommendations based on sales on the North American eShop - a storefront that does use USD. Funnily enough, those articles display prices in USD.
Very cool concept. Something to maybe point out to Jonathan unless he’s already noticed it by now - that photograph of the page where the magpie is swooping down to Poca in the alleyway - I believe the titular character’s speech bubble should read “Yeah? That would be great actually!” The ‘be’ is missing from the image featured in the article.
@MegaVel91 No, he probably didn’t miss that. It’s simply just not a fun mechanic for many of us. I skipped Echoes of Wisdom entirely, and prefer BotW over TotK, simply due to mandatory construction mechanics.
@AlanaHagues “To get to the new park, you have to go through the 1Up store”
No you don’t. As someone who has visited USJ’s Super Nintendo World about 6 times in the past year, you have to go past the 1up Store to get to DKC. The entrance has been blocked off for months, and you do not walk through the 1up Store to get to it. That’s why in the Direct, Miyamoto continues to walk past the store’s entrance, instead of into it.
@PokemonDMG To be fair, if you say ‘this’, anyone would assume you are talking about the subject of the article you’re commenting on. Not mistakes from another game on the service.
@Member_the_game Unless they gut the Kremling character, Diddy himself, and any other Donkey Kong references from the game, I can never see Nintendo allowing that on Game Pass.
The post only talks about stopping sales on the My Nintendo Store. I was planning on heading over to the Osaka store in the morning, so hopefully this new lottery system doesn’t apply to the physical shops, too.
@Waa-Laa Nintendo of Europe has uploaded a video about it on their Instagram (I assume X too), and visiting the My Nintendo Store UK home page shows a small black banner at the top stating that the clock will be on sale later this week.
@Zeebor15 I agree that you should be able to take photos, but it’s actually not that uncommon in Japan. I’ve been to a few museums and exhibitions here in which at least some areas do not allow photographs.
@FernandoMachado How is Mario & Wario ‘lost media’? Am I missing something? I’ve seen it for sale here in Japan on multiple occasions. Even Googling it displays multiple listings of it for sale.
@PokemonDMG They didn’t? He’s in the original N64 release of Majora’s Mask, too. The list of his appearances in the article isn’t intended to be exhaustive.
It’s recently had a big marketing push here in Japan too. Towels and blankets at convenience stores, bottle covers, new plushes at Pokémon Centers, it’s really blown up especially in the last few months.
@Arehexes That’s not the only other possible alternative lol.
@Dr_Corndog I disagree that that applies solely to Steve in Ultimate, but I wasn’t only talking about Ultimate anyway. Smash 4 was arguably even worse for it.

Re: Pokémon Almost Became A "Gritty" Baseball-Themed RPG In The West
‘Almost’ seems like a stretch. It reads more like it was just a mere suggestion at some point that was never really going to go anywhere.
@Damo “any attempt to tinker with the formula would comprise localisation efforts”
Should ‘comprise’ be ‘compromise’?

Re: Pokémon Presents Announced For 27th February 2025
“Damn, there's a tune that'll be stuck in our heads for the rest of the day...”
Am I missing something? What tune? The sound of Pikachu’s feet?
Re: Pokémon Presents Announced For 27th February 2025
@Dee123 That is not why.

@tobsesta99 Yeah, that also makes sense.

@Anti-Matter It’s the same on the original Switch.

A heads-up to those of us in Japan - registration here is already open.
Re: 'Nintendo Music' Adds Another Legendary Zelda Soundtrack, Here's Every Song Included
@Coalescence Are you sure you’re clicking on ‘All Tracks’ and not the far more noticeable ‘Top Tracks’?
Re: Rumour: Switch Virtual Console Was Apparently Nintendo's "Original Plan"
@Liam_Doolan “…fans were able to individually buy and download first-party retro titles…”
There were many second- and third-party games available to buy too. Not only first-party, by a long shot.
Re: 126 Games You Should Pick Up In The Nintendo Switch eShop Holiday Sale (Europe)

Strange that, isn’t it…?

Re: Nintendo Considered Giving Up On 'Mario & Luigi' Before Approaching Aquire
@Olliemar28 The correct spelling is ‘Acquire’. A lot of edits to make on this one.
Re: Zelda's Voice Actor Would Love To See The Princess In "More" Playable Roles
@MegaVel91 No, he probably didn’t miss that. It’s simply just not a fun mechanic for many of us. I skipped Echoes of Wisdom entirely, and prefer BotW over TotK, simply due to mandatory construction mechanics.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Kirby: Nightmare In Dream Land (GBA)
“It might not necessarily gel with the title of the game, unlike its Western counterpart”.
Except it does, because the game is called ‘夢の泉 デラックス’ (Fountain of Dreams Deluxe) in Japan, not ‘Nightmare in Dream Land’.
Re: Nintendo's Official Magazine For Winter 2024 Gets English Digital Release
@SwitchplayerJohn They do print physical English editions, but only in Japan, unfortunately. They’re free at all Nintendo Stores.
Re: N64 Controller For Switch Receives A Tasty Black Friday Discount (Europe)
@chardir You can use it for other games, like Smash and Mario Kart, but iirc there’s no button remapping for any of the NSO controllers.

Re: Sonic 3 Director Teases Another Character Reveal At The End Of The Movie
I’ll be surprised if it’s anyone other than Metal Sonic, Amy, or Chaos.
Re: Super Nintendo World's Donkey Kong Country Park Gets Opening Date

Re: Feature: What Pokémon Could Learn From Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom
@Pokemish Contrary to popular opinion, it’s ‘Onix’, not ‘Onyx’.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Balloon Fight (NES)
@JimNorman The term is ‘pared-back’, not “paired-back”.
Re: Xbox Studio Rare Excited About The Return Of Banjo-Tooie Next Week
@Member_the_game Unless they gut the Kremling character, Diddy himself, and any other Donkey Kong references from the game, I can never see Nintendo allowing that on Game Pass.
Re: Dragon Quest HD-2D Remakes Include A "Surprise" If You Play In Chronological Order
@Pat_trick No. The chronological order is III, I, II. That’s the order they’re being released in.

@Ruler-Of-All-Evil And I’ve had many replies TELLING ME THAT ALREADY. Why are the CAPS necessary?
Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Version 13.0.3 Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
I was hoping that this was the update where they made the Event Spirits from the beginning of the year permanently available…
Re: Feature: The Nintendo Museum Goes Hard On Merch & Fun, But Could Dive Deeper Into History

Re: Video: "Keep Your Peaks And Valleys!" - Sakurai Explains Fighter Balance In Smash Bros.
@Arehexes You’ve completely missed the point. The fact they’re DLC isn’t the problem. The fact that half of them are broken is.
Re: Video: "Keep Your Peaks And Valleys!" - Sakurai Explains Fighter Balance In Smash Bros.
@Arehexes That’s not the only other possible alternative lol.

Re: Video: "Keep Your Peaks And Valleys!" - Sakurai Explains Fighter Balance In Smash Bros.
Yeah, a delicate balance… that all goes totally out of the window as soon as DLC characters arrive, and you need to make players want to pay for them.
I guess that guy is me, @IceClimbersMain 😂
