Re: Guide: How To Buy Nintendo Switch Games From The Japanese eShop - Region Free Accounts

NintoRich

My UK visa Debit did not work when trying to buy Japanese games as the Post Codes didn't match, Instead I went through a complicated process of linking a Japanese PayPal address to Nintendo which after a while it accepted it but took many tries as the post codes still didn't match,

Anyway now I can buy from the eshop from Japan with PayPal but I cannot from the UK shop so for that I have to use my Debit card which works out fine for me

Re: Nintendo Celebrates The First Anniversary Of Super Mario Odyssey

Personally I felt as they were going open worldish with this game, I thought the levels were too small, the city felt tiny to me, I loved running around it but it came to an end too soon, I think I just prefer the more linear type of levels as in Mario Galaxy and 3D World

I would like an Odyssey 2 with larger Worlds and all the stupidly simple moons replaced with something like a special coin in order to make it feel more worthwhile when you actually find a difficult moon so you feel rewarded for your effort - (Imagine if the blue coins in Mario Sunshine were actually shine stars, not that they were easy to collect but there was a differentiation between the two)

Re: Virtua Racing Joins The Sega AGES Line On Nintendo Switch

@Lone_Beagle It didn't look like crap but I remember seeing it at the time and thinking of it being more of a tech demo, but it gave an insight into what could be possible in future for 3d graphics in games, however what's most important is how well it played and I do think this is a good game on that level

Re: Excitebike Joins The Hamster Arcade Archives Collection On Switch Tomorrow

NintoRich

It's quite simple, the game will be the arcade version originally known as vs. Excitebike, the reason it will be launched just as Excitebike without the vs. Is because it was never a versus game to begin with! It is single player only, It was released for the vs. system arcade as a kit, it is not going to be the Famicom Disk System version which truly is a versus game, as in 2 player simultaneously

Here's some other '"mind blowing facts" from yesteryear that you all should know or your Nintendo fun club card will be revoked:

Name your character "Zelda" in Legend of Zelda Nes to start the game on the second quest. In Super Mario bros hit the flagpole with either a 1,3 or 6 as the last timer digit for the corresponding amount of fireworks to go off. In Contra, pause the game and press, up, up, down, down... well I shouldn't have to finish this one!
