Miitomo is... something. I don't know what to think yet. The focus on questionnaire gameplay is interesting yet kind of boring, and reading your friend's answers is tedious and (if you know each other fairly well) you probably know the answers already!
As for My Nintendo, the download-only focus is disappointing and the other rewards are scarce. I MISS CLUB NINTENDO
There are tons of examples of exclusive content being very rare like this. Hopefully Nintendo continues this and releases VC titles with the exclusive content.
The biggest reason aside from not having the game if my console is wiped is memory. How can we download games when the hard drive is so ridiculously small!?
I was hoping that they would move on to generation 7 instead of another Kalos game, and it seems that these two games will be for the next generation! Great logos as well. The last time they traveled back to a region twice in one gen, we got BW2. Those are probably my least favorite mainline Pokemon games, and I think part of the reason was the return to the same region was way too soon. I think the same would happen with Z (even if it took place in southern Kalos), and I think they should make Z as a remake someday.
Seems to be lacking compared to Club Nintendo based on what I have heard so far. I'm curious to see how easy it will be to register based on how bad Club Nintendo's servers were.
I look forward to playing the game in its final version. It now had plenty of content and it is a really great game. I will miss new maps and weapons, but these updates lasted longer than most season passes. Will Splat Fests still go on?
This is a great game, but the spirit flute RUINS it!!! I still can't beat it due to that horrible instrument. Why did the DS games have to have item based gimmicks like the hourglass and flute?
Something like an Amiibo Dungeon would get me to buy my first Amiibo. Nintendo is finally finding a way to use Amiibo as paid DLC (if the rumor is true), and this is a good thing. It adds more value to Amiibo and with the stock shortage gone, there shouldn't be a problem to find the compatible figures.

Re: Looks Like Nintendo's Familiar Red And White Branding Is Back For Good
They seem to alternate logos often. I like the red one, it's eye catching.
Re: Rumour: Nintendo has Discontinued Production of Nintendo DS Cartridges Around the World
There are very few games in still planning on getting for it. Super Mario 64 DS mainly.
Re: Research Firm Reckons Nintendo's Spent Nearly $527 Million on Research and Development This Fiscal Year
Hopefully some good things come from it.
Re: Poll: What Do You Think of My Nintendo and Miitomo?
Is the Zelda Picross worth it?

Re: Splatoon to Arrive on 3DS Under the Name "Splatoon Legends"
I fell for the VR prank last year, but not this time! Great fake box art btw.
Re: My Nintendo and Its Rewards Are Live
Awesome! Hopefully I can get Super Mario 64 eventually.
Re: Video: See the Super Mario e-Reader Levels You Never Played in Super Mario Advance 4
There are tons of examples of exclusive content being very rare like this. Hopefully Nintendo continues this and releases VC titles with the exclusive content.
Re: Enhanced Digital Store With Over 2,000 Games Launching Alongside My Nintendo This Week
I don't think that I will use it, but it's a great addition.
Re: Popular Super Mario Maker Speedrunner and Streamer Has All His Levels Deleted by Nintendo
Give a reason why. If a level isn't popular then I understand, but these were.
Re: Looks Like The Pokkén Tournament Pro Pad Was Supposed To Have LEDs And Force Feedback
It would have been really neat if it had LEDs.
Re: Video: Learn About the Quirky History of Wii Sports and Its Role in Bringing Us Mii Characters
Maka Wuhu and Wuhu Loop are great Mariokart tracks.
Re: Poll: Are You Ready to Download More of Your Retail Games From the eShop?
The biggest reason aside from not having the game if my console is wiped is memory. How can we download games when the hard drive is so ridiculously small!?
Re: Reggie Fils-Aime Shares Hope That Miitomo and My Nintendo Will Connect Users With Company Brand
It just looks so... boring.
Re: Feature: Breaking Down the My Nintendo Loyalty Economy
Eshop games are still rewards so I'm happy.
Re: Star Fox Zero Will Include An Invincible Mode For Inexperienced Players
I'm ok with this. It helps younger players and those that want to get used to the controls.
Re: Soapbox: It's too Early to Judge Paper Mario: Color Splash
It would be like judging a book based off the first page. Give it a chance.
Re: Weirdness: Minor League Baseball Team Is Making Its Players Wear Game Boy Jerseys
They look awesome. Hopefully they win when they wear them.
Re: Poll: Did the Wii U and 3DS Nintendo Direct Kickstart 2016?
Full of new and interesting info and game announcements, what else could you want out of one?
Re: Pocket Card Jockey Comes to the 3DS This May
It's... Interesting...? I don't know how to play solitaire anyways.
Re: Paper Mario Colour Splash Coming to Wii U
I'm excited. It's an interesting new mechanic for the series.

The secret abilities are what make these valuable.

Maybe that Paper Mario game will be announced?

Tropical Freeze here I come! After I get Twilight Princess HD...
Re: Reaction: The Pokémon Direct Was Short and Slick, But Had a Blunted Impact
It was nice, but the lack of a trailer or footage was a bummer.
Re: Poll: Vote for Your Favourite Main Series Pokémon Games - 20th Anniversary Edition
Heart Gold, White, and Sapphire are my favorites. Platinum is a close 4th for me.
Re: Trademarks And Logos For The Next Pokémon Game Surface Online Ahead Of Tomorrow's Nintendo Direct
I was hoping that they would move on to generation 7 instead of another Kalos game, and it seems that these two games will be for the next generation! Great logos as well. The last time they traveled back to a region twice in one gen, we got BW2.

Re: Nintendo Targets and Blocks Mario Kart Hack Videos From YouTube
If it were shortcuts I would understand, but these are pretty harmless.
Re: Site News: Welcome To The Brand New Nintendo Life!
Nice redesign! Looks sharp and professional. I especially like the up votes and store.
Re: Rumour: Star Fox Zero Facing Development Niggles, Another Delay Could Happen
It will get delayed to the fall probably. It looked good during the recent Direct.
Re: Talking Point: My Nintendo Can Be a Tipping Point in Nintendo's Approach To User Accounts
Seems to be lacking compared to Club Nintendo based on what I have heard so far. I'm curious to see how easy it will be to register based on how bad Club Nintendo's servers were.
Re: Rumour: Super Smash Bros. Planned as NX Launch Title, Bandai Namco Working on "Several" Games
I will believe it when I see it. Nintendo is horrible with launch titles, especially when the Wii U launched.
Re: Random: Someone At Walmart Took Shovel Knight's Name A Little Too Literally
Can it unlock DLC costumes for your flowers?
Re: Detective Pikachu Trailer is Revealed, Arrives as a Download in Japan on 3rd February
I would be ok if this didn't get localized.
Re: Review: Final Fantasy Explorers (3DS)
Sounds like an ok game. I think I will eventually pick it up.
Re: Talking Point: Online Gaming Can't Recreate the Unique Fun of Local Multiplayer, Yet It's Dominant
I feel like local play was one of the few things Splatoon was lacking in.
Re: Rumour: Intelligent Systems Is Working On New Paper Mario For Wii U
I believe it. I will be happy if it is like Super or like TTYD.
Re: Video: Relive the Glorious Madness of The Wonderful 101 With the 60fps Director's Edition Trailer
It's cheap for a first party Wii U game, so I will eventually get it.
Re: Talking Point: Splatoon Began With an Early Access Approach, and Has Provided a Valuable Lesson
It was a weird process done right. I was sceptic at first, but everything Nintendo did with Splatoon has gone well.
Re: Another 17 Games Get North American eShop Discounts in the Winter Warm-Up Sale
I might get wario or DK... Or Toki Tori.
Re: Splatoon's Last Free Update Map Goes Live Tomorrow
I look forward to playing the game in its final version. It now had plenty of content and it is a really great game. I will miss new maps and weapons, but these updates lasted longer than most season passes. Will Splat Fests still go on?
Re: Sega Has Some "Interesting" Sonic News For Us Next Month
I bet it's a compilation announcement. The new game will be at E3.
Re: Dragon Quest VII Set for a Summer Release in North America
Square Enix finally decided that they want my money. I'm buying this, the other one, and I will buy Joker 3 if they localize it.
Re: Review: Bigley's Revenge (Wii U eShop)
I'd play Zelda on CDI before I played this. That isn't a compliment.
Re: Splatoon's Next Update Is On Target For Launch Tomorrow
I wonder what the shortcuts are.
Re: ESPN Plans On Broadcasting Super Smash Bros. Events
Now I can watch college football and smash on the same channel.
Re: Review: The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks (Wii U eShop / DS)
This is a great game, but the spirit flute RUINS it!!! I still can't beat it due to that horrible instrument. Why did the DS games have to have item based gimmicks like the hourglass and flute?
Re: Chandelure Will Be the Next Pokkén Tournament Fighter
How will it fight? It's a cool addition, but how will it fight?
Re: Talking Point: Considering amiibo Features and the Reality of 'Physical DLC'
Something like an Amiibo Dungeon would get me to buy my first Amiibo. Nintendo is finally finding a way to use Amiibo as paid DLC (if the rumor is true), and this is a good thing. It adds more value to Amiibo and with the stock shortage gone, there shouldn't be a problem to find the compatible figures.
