I noticed the frame rate dip once in that video and only upon rewatching it while actively seeking framerate dips. Really confused as to what the heck people are complaining about. Anyway, got really excited watching this. Can't wait to be able to play it.
I must have been living under a rock since I had no idea it's been 15 years since the Xbox released. Can't say I've had many fond memories of Xbox consoles with the exception of the amazing Halo series. Anyway, nice to see stuff like this hapenning.
Purple transparent like my N64 controller of choice. I normally wouldn't have been interested in getting joycons like this but that might be the exception.
I preordered Moon awhile back and when I did, the clerk told me it looked like it was gonna be the biggest game of the year. I assumed he was judging this off the number of preorders for it.
Disappointing but an ommission I can live with. Even if it just would have been used for maps or inventory, it's handy. Now I'll have to look a maps, and menu screens like a cave man On the plus side, I guess it makes conveying what the Switch can do easier. There aren't a million different functionalities being shown off, like what happened with the Wii U.
It would be no big loss for me to see it gone. I hardly ever got streetpass hits, in fact it wasn't until last year that I managed to beat streetpass quest 1, even though I got a 3DS at launch. Meanwhile my friend wouldn't shut up about completing all the puzzles.
Even if Pokemon had new moves, you could just go to a move deleter, which was the solution thrown in for Gen II. It seriosuly annoys me that Pokemon can't be transferred back. Especially since I've been replaying Gold and used the Time Capsule recently to trade between generations.
I had an SP but never even noticed the lack of a headphone/earphone socket. Though I didn't use any back then. Now though, I do occasionally use headphones when playing my 3DS, so a lack of socket for them would be quite annoying.
As a massive Snorlax fan, seeing it get a Z move has me stoked. Also happy about the Munchlax distribution, since it means getting Snorlax will be easy and I can playthrough another game with one in my party. That was one of the best parts about X and Y, you could catch a Snorlax really early in the game.
When I first saw images/patents/concepts of detachable controllers, I pretty much imagined they could also function like Wii remotes. I'd honestly be suprised if there was no form of motion control.
Still haven't gotten my hands on a copy, hopefully I can fix that soon. Just not sure it could get me away from playing Smash but there's no reason why I can't play two fighters on my Wii U.
Nice. Can't say I've contributed to any of those records though. Wonder if the next Guinness Book of Records Gamer Edition will just have a section dedicated to Pokemon Go.
My dogs share a birthday with Metroid. Cool. I recently continued playing Metroid Prime 2 after leaving it alone for ages. Should hurry up and finish it and start Metroid Prime 3. The Prime games are great and I've enjoyed the other Metroid titles I've played, so Happy 30th Metroid!
I swear everyday the news has been reporting problems with Pokemon Go players. Today the story I saw was people requesting Niantic remove a Pokestop from the Sydney War Memorial. I guess it'll probably happen soon, giving this one got removed.
I made a crap ton of miis back when I first got my Wii and 3DS. Haven't made any on my Wii U, just transferred my 3DS Mii over. I like them but I guess more options would be good. Outfit options like in Miitomo are nice to have.
I watched a video from IGN where the guy said he found a blue rupee but his camera had stopped filming. Glad someone managed to get a rupee on film this time.
@rjejr I think as for stealing the demo, just because something is free, doesn't necessarily mean it's free for you to distribute. I doubt the demos had a license detailing exactly what attendents were free to do with the game but it's stuff like that makes it possible to steal free stuff.
In an email I got from EB Games Australia, it detialed features in Sun and Moon. It mentions using QR codes to add Pokemon to the dex so you can find them later.
Pretty sure I heard about a Tetris movie being in development awhile back. So filming is going to start next year huh. Also, should be 4 movies. Tetris, teronimo, tetra, 4. Well, 1 movie is already probably too much. Just what is the plot meant to be anyway?
I hope more questions are added. The app seems to have run out of things to ask me, which is a shame because I find it addicting to just sit there answering them.

It came out yesterday in Australia and even though I got to the store before it opened, they sold out while I was waiting in line.
Re: Junichi Masuda Didn't Expect Pokémon GO to Be a Big Deal
I remember when there were signups for fieldtesting it. No one I knew was interested. Yet when it released, everyone I knew downloaded it.

All of my yes. Can't wait for this!

Re: Review: Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky (DS)
Explorers of Darkness never felt like a grind to me. If I get an eshop card any time soon, I'll pick this up.

Dragon Quest VII if I don't get it physically.

So Bookworm Adventures for Wii U?
I don't mind, it was one of the few enjoyable educational games.

All hail the virtual boy!
I always get a little smile seeing the VB in a Nintendo game. Just nice to see Nintendo reference or joke about it.
Re: Mario Makes an Appearance in the Rio Olympics Closing Ceremony
This is amazing. Brought a massive smile to my face. Kinda sad I didn't see it live, would have be even better.

Re: Nintendo Download: 18th August (Europe)
Hmm, tempted by explorers of sky. Actually got back round to Darkness earlier this year to finish up the post game. Absolutely loved playing it again.
Re: Dragon Quest X Confirmed for Nintendo NX, Again
@Radbot42 It's for X.
Second last sentence says this doesn't confirm XI for NX for real this time.

Re: Poll: Will You Still Be Playing Pokémon GO at the End of 2016?
I haven't even gotten the app and don't ever plan to. Sun and Moon will be what I'm playing at the year's end.
Re: Weirdness: Pokémon GO Has Inspired Parents in the US to Name Their Children After Pokémon
At least Ivy, Ash and Shay are actual names. I've also met an Eevee before, though she was born before Pokemon was a thing.

That's some adorable looking food.

Mortal Kombat Chess anyone?

I want to see just how spicy the super spicy curry is.
Re: Faux-Retro Survival Horror Back In 1995 64 Shuffles Menacingly Towards The Nintendo 3DS
I really like retro 3D graphics like this. My N64 and PSone games still look fine to me
I wish more people made throwbacks like this.

Re: Seven New Pokémon Revealed for Pokémon Sun and Moon
I quite like these new Pokemon, except for the fish but I guess it's meant to be ugly.

Unfortunately, I remember the movie.
It also seems the music from this game will be remembered. Arg, stuck in my head.

Re: Pokémon GO Field Testing is Heading to Australia and New Zealand
I haven't been all that excited for Go tbh but a few of my friends have. I better let them know.
Re: My Nintendo and Its Rewards Are Live
Just checked it out. Got points for doing the first couple of missions. About to get Flipnote Studio. Everything seems to be going smoothly so far.
