That translates to like 4 stars, or a 77.5. That’s a good score.

I bought the Majora’s Mask pin here in Osaka. They’re more than double the price on the EU Nintendo Store than they are in Japan 💀

The Western cover makes it look as if he has breasts. Voting Japan.

@Olliemar28 “All Nippon Airways has collaborated with The Pokémon Company on numerous occasions, with perhaps one of the more famous examples being the ANA Puzzle Swap panel that was made available via SpotPass on 3DS in 2012.”

Wasn’t that a collab with Nintendo? Not TPC?

Clearly ‘Nintendeal’ didn’t play The Missing Heir, as that same swear word appears at the climax of that game, too.

@Sethdedun Unless it’s been added since you made your comment, it’s sourced at the bottom of the article.

“Remember that mostly useless 'TV Remote mode' that would turn your GamePad into... well... a TV remote?”

I used to use that all the time. It’s very useful if the original remote has been lost or broken.

@JimNorman “The Mega Gold Points Promotion runs from 5th-8th August, offering additional Gold Points on all eShop purchases”

The link you provided at the bottom states that this runs from the 5th to the 18th, not the 8th. Additionally, it says ‘selected’ eShop purchases, not ‘all’.

“Then there's the Mega Free Games Trial period from 18th-25th”

Again, the link states that this begins on the 19th, not the 18th.

Went today and paid for 3 entries, got 2 N64 buttons and an NA SNES button. Fortunately, soon after, I managed to trade one of the former for a GC C-stick, and the latter for an N64 stick with other customers.

@dew12333 So you’re saying that the punishment of only 1 year in prison is too severe? For multiple death threats against potentially thousands of people? Especially after the Kyoto Animation arson attack?

‘Sticks & stones may *break my bones’ only applies to insults and name-calling. Serious threats against life are in absolutely no way similar to calling someone a stinky poo-poo head

@Zeebor15 I have the European version. What’s the difference between that and the North American version? Afaik, there are only two versions: the digital-only NA/PAL English versions, and the Asian Japanese/Chinese versions.

@Zeebor15 ??? The remakes were released in Europe and Australia too.

@JohnnyMind @Vyacheslav333 iirc, the Japanese versions of the remakes only have Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese subtitles available, so as long as you can understand one of those languages, you should be fine.

@Coalescence Project M is a mod for Brawl.

@Not_Soos As @YunoboCo said, if you’re ever running low, just use the FE, AC and Mario Run apps to top up. The one-time achievements for doing basic stuff like linking your SNS or even My Nintendo account usually give quite a few Platinum Points. FE is particularly great as you don’t even have to actually play it lol, I’ve had 1000s of points from that game just by auto-playing every single battle.

A new DKC, or something in the vein of Donkey Kong ‘94/GB.

I’m not getting it purely for the fact that yeah, the art gallery and sound test isn’t enough new content for me to get it again, but it’s a great game. Hope all those playing it for the first time really enjoy it.

@AlanaHagues It launches in 1014? 😅

@PedroMatos I also voted NA/PAL like you, but the Japanese box art of Yellow is just as consistent with the JP versions of Red, Green and Blue. Unless you mean the rest of the series after Gen I too?

…all this time? That was meant to be an armadillo!? TIL

I live 35 mins away and have my annual pass. Just waiting for the opening date announcement now

Still pretty inconvenient for those of us that live in Japan. Fukuoka is nice, but I’m not gonna go all that way just for this.

@Dm9982 Yeah, in the Western versions of HeartGold & SoulSilver, they replaced the slots with Voltorb Flip, a minesweeper-esque game. You may be thinking of that.

@Dm9982 Any link to that article? Any screenshots? Any video evidence? Because I am almost certain that you are confusing those releases with the Let’s GO remakes on Switch. I can’t find anything on Serebii, Bulbapedia, YouTube, Wikipedia, Reddit, this website, etc about it.

@Dm9982 ? The slots were not disabled in the Game Corners of the Virtual Console ports of Gen I & II afaik. Can you find any evidence of this online? I know that’s the reason why the games received higher age ratings, but I have not seen any proof that the Game Corners were edited in any way for those releases whatsoever.

@Kyloctopus It’s still there. Look carefully at the green banner towards the bottom of the box.

The official Nintendo account misspelt ‘receive’ in its own infographic. Embarrassing.

Also that this game is a 6/10 at best. The later Zones suck, and the bosses are the worst in the franchise’s history.

@Serpenterror This game wasn’t on Wii U.

@the_beaver https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/47524/~/how-to-play-your-games-across-multiple-nintendo-switch-systems

https://www.nintendo.com.au/nintendo-switch-family/compare (Doesn’t feature in the page itself, but the title of the page in your browser uses the phrase ‘Compare - Nintendo Switch Systems’)

https://switch.nintendo.com/kids/ “Create your checklist! You can check off Nintendo Switch systems…”

I’m sure it’s featured in other trailers and adverts too, but I’m not about to trawl through YouTube videos to prove the point more.

@the_beaver It’s referring to Switch, Switch OLED, and Switch Lite. Not the first time ‘Switch systems’ has been used like that by a long stretch.

@Rockboy247 No it doesn’t. It screams one, internationally, on the same day.

@Rockboy247 Launching simultaneously worldwide in 2025, yeah.

@Gryffin That may be true in the US, but the price here in Japan is ¥5,400, which is like $35/£28, compared to $50/£40. Even if that’s the same price I paid for Pokémon Scarlet, Mario Wonder, etc, that’s still low enough for it to be worth it for me, and apparently 61,929 other people in Japan.

I agree that Marble Garden has possibly the best music in the franchise, but yeah gameplay-wise it sucks. Sonic 2 is still the superior title 😎

@AlanaHagues “Alyla Browne joins the caste, too”

I would hope you mean *cast 😅

@Shade_Koopa I thought that’s what you meant. Incorrect. It couldn’t play GameCube games or connect online. It could play Wii discs. How else would it officially be able to play games?

So in fact, it was the complete opposite of what you said it was. It was a physical-only system.

@Shade_Koopa When did Nintendo do that with the Wii?

Only care about one of those games. Seriously no Mario Wonder?

Super Metroid, Undertale, Breath of the Wild and Pokémon Legends: Arceus. All four of those games were such refreshing experiences the first time through, and are of course still great subsequently, but I think those are the ones that replays will never quite capture the magic of again.

@Serpenterror No, the closest we got was Yoshi’s Safari.

EDIT: Ditto to the comment above 😂

@Poodlestargenerica That’s why you capitalise the ‘R’ in ‘Retro’, a proper noun 😉

@Handy_Man Ditto, but unfortunately I doubt it. Seems they’re going the Retro route.

@thesilverbrick I would personally disagree, I felt that much of the music from both the base game and the DLC was annoyingly repetitive. Although I think that the Gen V battle themes were remade decently, I feel that the various BW tracks shoehorned into the Terrarium BGM were mixed in poorly - it feels forced and really unnatural, like yes, I get it, this is in Unova. Legends Arceus was a much better example of subtly remixing Gen IV tracks (granted, I’m sure development of that game had a much higher budget and definitely had a longer time cycle than Indigo Disk). I’m actually unsure if Toby Fox was responsible for the Terrarium’s music, but I’ve felt ever since the Battle Tower theme he composed for Sword and Shield that his compositions for Pokémon do not fit, and I am really not a fan. His Undertale and Deltarune OSTs are fantastic, but I personally wish Game Freak would drop him. I understand I’m in the minority with that opinion, though.

With that said, the Academy music is also a rare banger in Scarlet & Violet. If that’s a Fox track, then that’s a redeeming quality.

@Truegamer79 Keep trying man, you’ll get there. The only thing I have left to do in the game is get all 100 possible coins on Midas River, which I am hating. One thing that they should have patched in is the ability to restart a minigame, rather than have to leave the area entirely, reselect that area on the world map, and then go through the whole process of beginning the minigame again, only to be asked if you want the rules read to you for the billionth time…

@Olliemar28 “The Western release of Donkey Konga contained a mix of covers and Nintendo music, with artists like Blink-182, Kylie Minogue, Willie Nelson, and Queen all making an appearance”

None of Kylie’s songs appeared in either the North American or European editions of Donkey Konga 1 or 2 🤔 also the Willie Nelson track is exclusive to the North American version. It was replaced in Europe.

EDIT: I assume you’re referring to ‘The Loco-Motion’ for Kylie, but that was first performed by Little Eva.

No shade on anyone that prefers traditional Zelda, but I personally hope they’ll continue in the same vein as the Switch instalments. I’ve played most games in the series, and the only one I could actually see through to the end before getting bored is Majora’s Mask. I agree with others above that Aonuma’s comments regarding more restrictive gameplay only being a bad thing are just flat-out wrong (if said comments are translated correctly), but in this particular case, I think the open-world freedom is fantastic and I welcome more of it.

@canaryfarmer Origins released on Wii U along with the other consoles at launch. It would absolutely work on Switch

@_fatto_katto_ As stated above this comment by Liam, it originates from Tropical Freeze, where Dixie and Cranky were similarly denoted by DX and CK respectively.

As long as Asylum and City work well, I’m fine. I never liked Knight anyway.

The article doesn’t need a ‘(North America)’ mark. Mystery Gift codes are universal.
