Every match I go in brings up a "internet connection lost" message exactly 2 minutes in. Every match for the last few days, I have not been able to play splatoon. I have fibre optic broadband and I play mmo's and other major online games with no issues but splatoon is unplayable for me right now. Please look into this!

@AlexOlney I haven't been able to do an online match for days. It keeps saying internet connection lost, 2 minutes into a ranked match. Please please please could you look into this as no one seems to be acknowledging the issue. I cant play my favourite game

IS KNOWONE GOING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DO AN ONLINE MATCH FOR DAYS! Please look into this Nintendo Life!!!

After the update every single match has booted me out due to "unstable connection". Any news on this Nintendo life?

Im.losing connection on every match and its classing as a loss in ranked battle. Anyone else getting this???

And in other news the sky is blue, the grass is green and splatoon is amazing shocker!!!!

@FX102A Oh man the U.K is an awful place to be a nintendo fan! I have actually seen staff in game stiores guffaw in someones face over them speaking positively about nintendo, no joke. Its like the entire country wants nintendo to die. It was the same when snes was about. If you didnt like sega yyou wasnt cool. I wasnt a cool kid...

Its weird. In the poll I put "fairly disapointing" for content because it IS ridiculously low on content. But with that content I am having the most fun ive had with the wiiu for months! And I think its nintendos plan to get us hooked to this one simple mode before renewing freshness and hypewitb additional content like ranked battles and new stages. I for one am VERY excited at playing ranked battles. Ive seen this drip feed of content before with Destiny and it WORKS

what was the reason for the delay? there isnt anything special here that warrents a delay

What gives with the lack of e shop releases for the week ahead guys?

@Damo I know this is a change of subject. But ive just bought and downloaded Pandora's Tower and there is a horrible audio bug where the sound cuts out every 30 seconds(literally) and it causes delays with the voices in the cutscenes. This is the only game that does this and i see nothing on the internet regarding this. Does ANYONE have a similar problem with Pandora's Tower and Damo could you please please look into this? I love the game but the audio delay has made it practically unplayable.

Great week this. Going to be picking up Pandora's Tower solely in the fools hope Ninty will bring The Last Story to Wii vc too! It is an incredible jrpg by the father of Final Fantasy and its stupidly hard to find a copy nowadays. My pet peeve with this week is that Nintendoseems content with having several weeks of nothing then one week where a whole bunch of stuff is released. Why dont they spread it out?

@Quorthon I have an xbox one, ps3, ps4 and ps vita thank you very much. And on all those platforms there is not one indy game at £16.99. There is Ori and the blind forest at £15.99 but that is quite frankly worth every penny with production values far exceding that of Afordable space adventures. Perhaps it would be wise to not assume everyone is a fan boy.

@luke88 Thats because the game isnt affordable. For an indy game this is daylight robbery no matter how good the game is.

@Grumblevolcano Yeah i am mate. Says i need to accept ts and cs but then says online functions unavailable?

Nintendolife could you please reply to this. My wii u is saying i need to accept the terms and conditions of the nnid,yet when i say okay it says online services are unavailable? Its tuesday the 30th sept and its currently 10 30 am. This extended maintainence or am i in trouble as its past the scheduled maintainence and i cant play mk8 anymore!

@stanleecroup It is the original "so bad that its good" movie

Damnit just release a new metroid primealready nintendo! Stop teasing us with these brilliant figures! Metroid prime trilogy hd remaster while you're at it!

Sorry to sound thick but does this mean i can get on miiverse with a new nintendo network id AND keep all my games ive purchased on the old wii u? My console is banned through no fault of mine and id like to get back on miiverse for my son and the art academy communities. Will buying a new wii u enable me to transfer all software and create a new id? Someone please answer

@Desy64 Totally second this! Hopefully more devs realise some games are worth a rerelease. Bayonetta 1 on wii u will be a god send. Hopefully more devs also realise some wii games are more rare than unicorn poop. Xenoblade chronicles,the last story, pandoras jower, metroid prime trilogy, a shadows tale all need to see a hd update!

Cant see it being rayman. I think it will be captain falcon

Oh why does this not surprise me? I really wish these idiot devs would just say that the wii u version is cancelled. Im sorry I will not except these excuses of "oh we didnt realise development would take so long for all platforms". These devs and publishers are paid ridculous sums of money to plan for things like this. Unaceptable

Jazzy Jeff was amazing. The ginger dude not so much. Was no rythm unless he used a short sample

@smikey Hey Smikey,hows mario kart? Yeah I totally agree. I find it kinda ridiculous that people constantly complain there are nothing but "nintendo games" for the wiiu,yet when something diferent turns up people complain that the game "isnt nintendo'y enough!". It happened with killer 7, it happened with madworld and I guarantee it will happen with devils third and the game will sell poorly resulting in less support for the wii u. And we only have ourselves to blame

IF THAT SCARF ISNT WITH THE UK GAME I WILL FLIP OUT! I wants me a Link Scarf!

Glad to hear he is on the mend. The bile duct...isnt that his rear end? Ouch.

Wish him all the best. Please understand Iwata-san that this will not affect my love of Nintendo and the wii u at all!

@DefHalan Was thinking that too. Would be awesome to have some hd jet ski with new tracks,and mountain biking and ofcourse, frisbee throwing!

@unrandomsam Hmmm maybe its just rose tinted goggles at work then. I just remember the ps3 ver being nigh on impossible to play due to some horrendous lag

All I wana know is if bayonetta 1 is a good port. The ps3 ver of bayo was appalling with really bad lag making achieving any combo's practically impossible. The 360 ver was a smooth 60fps with no lag so im going to be expecting the same. Can anyone confirm what the port is like?

@Peach64 Why are you even frequenting a site thats full of "childish" nintendo fans?

Translation: Wiiu's better sell more or you cant have our games anymore. And you want them dont you? Yes you do. I got a special one with your name on it but-ah ah ah-not unless you sell more! Come on I know you can do it! You want this special game dont you? What? Well yes I know youd sell more if you had the game but I asked first!

Theres plenty there to keep folks going methinks. But there is a rather large gap between now and. And september. A perfect oportunity for something nintendo can do...like gamecube vc? Come on nintendo make it happen!

@LEGENDnoONE Dude im just guna be blunt here. Grow up

If we keep getting weeks like we have been doing recently im going to be a very happy but broke guy! Just hurry and announce gamecube vc nintendo,we all know its coming

Best.person.ever. The man. The legend. The...cucco? This right here is why I love nintendo man. Sheer unadulterated fun. Video games disney indeed

@Ichiban I wouldnt call the ps4 a peace of junk but I actually agree with your other points. It is overhyped,it does feel cheap and yes the pads batteries are crap. But,same as with the wiiu, I will keep the ps4 for the awesome games coming to it. No mans sky, infamous, drive club, destiny and uncharted are worth the gripes to me. Same as a shoddy battery and no 3rd party support are easily ignored when I have mario kart 8, w10,bayo 2 and smash to play!

@theblackdragon Well said. This aint youtube folks

@theBluntKnight I actually agree with this so much. I cannot comprehend how someone can look at the wiiu gamepad,something that has been repeatedly refered to as integral to the whole wiiu archetecture(sp) can buy one and then do nothing but go on a website to moan constantly about it. If you buy it and dont like it,fair does. But seriously,get rid of the wiiu. Its clearly not for you and let the rest of us who enjoy the gamepad in peace

@Peach64 Ah peach, you really are a glass half empty kinda guy arent you

@HaNks I do find it rude. Imagine going to a restaurant and when your meal comes the waiter says "as compliments from the chef,heres some chips". Now would you graciously thank the chef? Or would you say "ugh thats stupid give me mash instead"?

Look guys for me as long as we actually get the original game it dosnt matter how we get it. To moan about how we are getting the game is spoilt unthankful and downright rude

@LEGENDnoONE Really? You are literally the only person ive seen give critisism to nintendo this e3. I thought they were great with some amazing games in the pipeline. Seriously mate if games like Hyrule warriors, Yoshis wooly world, Bayonetta 2, mario maker and splatoon dont entice you,i think you've bought the wrong console!

And this is why I only buy pre owned EA games. I refuse to give a penny to this company. I dont give a flying hoot if this is a good business decision or not (i actually think it is a good move NOW), the point remains that EA are bitter and very very childish. 1: They have thrown their teddy out of the pram because of the whole origin on wiiu debacle. And 2: The reason fifa 13 didnt sell is because it was a gimped version and why would anyone buy an inferior version of a game when you can get the full version on any other system you may own.

EA discust me

@Action51 Am I the only greedy guy who wants remakes/reboots AND new ip's?

@KingMike It mas released in 1992 and this is the console version of the 20th aniversary remake that was released on ios 2 years ago

@Yorumi I was about to write something similar. Yeah mario maker dosnt interest me at all right now. But if they add a full mario game (mario U 2?) along with a much more extensive use of the editor,including a super mario world style (moving goal post finish included!) then id be interested

@MinecraftGreek Yeah thats one thing id love for nintendo to do. And I may be wrong,but I cant see it being hard to put a wii game on e shop seeing as the wiiu has a wii built into it. Yes I know there is wii mode and all wii games work on wii u. But has anyone tried finding a copy of metroid prime trilogy? The last story? Xenoblade chronicles? A shadows tale? They are rarer than rare making a rare game they rarely make!

Who "won" e3 is such a narrow minded and absolutely subjective question. I own all 3 systems now. Halo 1-4 announced for xbox one,next day I buy an xbox one and im actually loving it more than my ps4 right now,so clearly I loved the microsoft press conference. But then uncharted 4 was announced at the playstation press conference,and no mans sky looks incredible. So ofcourse I enjoyed playstations presence. And who can forget the most amazing 30 seconds of e3? That unbelievable and jaw dropping zelda u teaser. Bayo 1 coming with bayo 2. Splatoon. Mario maker etc etc. Yep, nintendo were incredible this year. But saying who "won" is like making you choose your fave child. Or your fave part of xmas. There isnt a clear choice,it depends on the person you ask

@Blue-Thunder Damn meant to reply to you earlier and forgot. Sorry! Anyway I was going to say no offence taken at all mate. And if you dont like the gamepad? Totally fine! My problem is with people constantly hating on it. I mean if I disliked something enough to want to voice my opinion on a website I would get rid of it and buy something else! Saying "im not a fan of the gamepad" is fine,thats your opinion mate I respect that. But some people will plague this website with nintendo doom mongering,usually using the gamepad as some kind of proof that nintendo have insulted their mother and crapped in their toilet without flushing. It just gets tiresome

@XFsWorld I must admit ive always been a playstation and nintendo guy. But the other day I bought an xbox one,and I was actually blown away. Wii u is still my fave console this gen. But right now I feel there are better games on xbox one,i never in a million years thought id say that but im loving forza 5,dead rising 3,ryse and titanfall and being a massive halo fan made me squeee with delight at the prospect of playing halo 1-4 on xbox one. And the kinect,while not as brilliant as the gamepad is actually great and adds little moments of smile inducing joy from time to time ( saying "xbox on" and head tracking on forza is really cool) so yeah,get an xbox one dude. Just keep your wii u. When zelda comes it'll knock everything this gen out of the water!
