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.
Why censor poo? Are we going to have to censor Earthbound posts on Miiverse because of the character Poo? I guess we can count him out as being a costume.
I actually got round to finishing this on VC the other day. Really glad it and Gargoyle's Quest I and II got VC releases, otherwise I might not ever have found those gems.
Honestly, I never looked at the map on the gamepad. I found leaving the item menu up at all times more useful so I just looked at the map on the TV. Wii remote controls would have been good for me. My gamepad started playing up awhile ago, so it loses connection to the console whenever it's more than 2 metres away and whenever it's moved a lot. Sure I could still use the gyro controls but it kept dropping out.
Oh man, this would be amazing. As a massive Final Fantasy and Nintendo fan, I'd be ecstatic just to see either game on the NX. Though it is just a rumour at this point and the, "Definitive version" thing seems really wishful.
I got my old DS out yesterday to finally finish Blue Rescue Team and now it's releasing on VC. I'll pass on double dipping, the sequels are much better and my copy of Darkness still works.
I can't understand the hate this has generated. I like when Nintendo puts memes like this in. It makes me chuckle and its not like they're oversaturated in the game. The only thing I hate about it, is that people find the need to complain about it online and make it seem like a massive problem. People were fine when Pokemon X and Y used memes. SSB4 used memes. But when Zelda uses them, Nintendo's crossed the line?
Sounds disappointing. I saw a fair amount of people displaying interest in the game for the purposefully silly action it offered. It's just a shame any fun with switching between mindless melee combat and intense firefights is hindered by the fact nothing in the game operates smoothly or functionally.
Damn, this just feels really sudden. I knew he had health problems but Iwata always appeared happy and the way he handled it made him seem fine. I feel really upset now. RIP Iwata. Your Direct presentations have given me some cherished memories.
I don't have much patience for creating things but I see myself having a lot of fun with this just messing around with friends, riding ostriches, drilliing tunnels and blowing stuff up.
Man I loved this game. I spent a lot of hours playing it because of how difficult it can be (like the bonus and secret levels, and then getting 100% on all levels) and how fun I found it. I still ocasionally go back and play through it! I also like this a lot more than the first game audible gasps. I don't think I'll get the VC version though. My DS version still works fine.
There's some really childish hate for those characters. It was painful to read. Like comments about the trophy section being tainted by CommanderVideo. WTF is up with that? Bit.Trip was almost synonymous with WiiWare. All his games are available on Nintendo consoles as well. I really like Bit.Trip and CommanderVideo, so I'd love to see him playable in Smash. Shovel Knight on the other hand, he has one game. It might be good but still, Bit.Trip is at least a more prolific series.
Anyway this was a nice interview to read. It's cool to see an indie developer try publishing other's games. Normally you see developers talk about jumping into game design, you hardly see them talk about jumping into publishing.
I got Toki Tori 2+ when it was on sale. I've enjoyed it but I haven't gotten round to finishing it. Not sure if I'll get Rive as there are a lot of games I'm planning on buying.
I honestly find numbered scores really insightful. I don't see the point in moving to labels because all that really does is change the number to a word and limit the space you have to rate games. I know what a 10/10 game is and I can see how it is different to a 9/10, whereas just saying it is 'vital' or some other synonym gives me less indication. At least with numbers I have a scale to compare games to.
Another thing is, amongst my friends we always ask each other what would we rate things out of 10. It's something I'm use to. I never have trouble gaining meaning from the number.
I personally wouldn't like a buy/try/ignore system because the 'try' label I feel defeats the point of a review. It's essentially the reviewer saying they can't help me in informing my decision. Plus the smaller scale makes it a lot harder to compare games.

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.
Re: Video: Check Out This Unbeatable Combo Recently Discovered in Pokkén Tournament
Well hopefully this gets patched soon.
Also you might want to put a language warning for the video. He swears towards the end of it.
Re: Scribblenauts Studio 5th Cell Is Closing Its Doors
Such a shame. Drawn to Life and Scribblenauts were superb. I hope everyone can find jobs quickly.

Re: This Massive Snorlax Plush Doubles As The Perfect Pokémon Bed
I so want that. Snorlax is my favourite Pokemon!
If only it wasn't so expensive.
Re: Masahiro Sakurai Wanted Geno to be a Playable Smash Bros. Fighter
I more of a Mallow fan but I'm sure his inclusion would have been cool and made a bunch of people happy.
Re: Video: Check Out the Chitoge Kirisaki Costume in Super Mario Maker
Totally didn't expect this. Could we see other manga characters? I'd be pretty happy to see more.
Re: Rumour: Final Fantasy VII Remake And XV Headed To NX, Could Be Definitive Versions
Oh man, this would be amazing. As a massive Final Fantasy and Nintendo fan, I'd be ecstatic just to see either game on the NX. Though it is just a rumour at this point and the, "Definitive version" thing seems really wishful.
Re: You Can Now Register for a Nintendo Account
Well signing up certainly was quick. I just used my NNID.
Re: Nintendo Download: 11th February (Europe)

Re: Catch Your Valentine With These Official Pokémon Cards
That Slowpoke one, I think I might have found it a little too funny.
Re: The Game Lineup for EVO 2016 Has Been Announced
Sweet! Can't wait. Pokken is kind of a suprise though.
Re: Random: Looks Like Ratchet & Clank Have Been Taking Tips From The Star Fox Team
Not the first Nintendo reference they've thrown in the series, nor the first time they've mentioned the barrel roll meme IIRC.

Re: Book Review: Before Mario
Oh man, I would love to have this. I was mesmerised reading the original blog.
Re: Review: Dig Dug II (Wii U eShop / NES)
I loved playing this in one of the Namco Museum games.
I enjoyed it more than the first game.
Re: The Current Final Fantasy Director Would Like A Chance To Work With The Zelda Series
"Here lies Link"
First thing that popped into my head.
Sure is interesting to think of though, a Zelda game like FFXV. I wonder how large a game it would be.
Re: Dragon Quest XI Is Coming To The Nintendo 3DS
But will it be localised?
Re: Nintendo Download: 30th July (Europe)
I've been looking forward to BADLAND. It's intrigued me since I saw the trailer.

I feel really upset now. RIP Iwata. Your Direct presentations have given me some cherished memories.
Re: Video: Take A Drip Down Memory Lane With Game Freak's Second Game, Jerry Boy
Wait, shouldn't the title say trip down memory lane?
Re: Star Fox Zero's Co-Op Mode to Offer Accessibility, and the Arwing's Robot Transformation "Is Not a Chicken"
Birds and dinosaurs share many similarities. It's easy to see why there's confusion with the walker.
Re: Gunman Clive's 3DS Outings Are Dashing To Wii U In Rootin'-Tootin' HD
I laready have and finsihed both games on the 3DS. Don't think I'll buy the collection. Besides, I think 3D>HD for Gunman Clive.
Re: Poll: What Did You Think of Nintendo's E3 Digital Event?
The Smash presentation and Mario Maker at NWC were singlehandedly better than the Digital Event. At least Nintendo provided me hype there.
Re: Rumour: Could Female Link Be In Hyrule Warriors On 3DS?
What if Zelda was a girl?
In all seriousness, I prefer Link being male, Zelda being female, etc.

Re: Nintendo Announces Best Buy Locations and Details for Nintendo World Championships 2015 Qualifiers
Kind of a let down for the World Championships. I hope the actual finals will at least be exciting.

I knew this existed. I feel like a bit of a nerd now.
Re: Unseen64 Digs Up Some Screens of Brimstone, a Cancelled SNES JRPG From Taito
Those are some really cool looking screens.
Re: Review: Yoshi's Island DS (Wii U eShop / DS)

I don't think I'll get the VC version though. My DS version still works fine.

It's about damn time.
Re: Nintendo Working on Patch for Mewtwo Glitch That Blocks Online Play, Confirms 3DS Modes to Avoid
I've already done Classic, All-Star and Trophy Rush with Mewtwo. I haven't had any problems though.

Re: Review: Super Mario 64 (Wii U eShop / Nintendo 64)
I might have to get the VC release soon. My original copy recently started freezing randomly. It's not regularly freezing, just every now and then.
SM64 is one heck of a game. Age has barely touched this gem.
Re: Digital Foundry Puts Splatoon's 60fps Promise to the Test
Good. Too many games go for 30fps and just miss out on looking and playing truly spectacular.
Re: Exclusive: Theatre Musical 'The Legend of Zelda: Harmony of Hyrule' to Tread the Boards of Broadway
Hehe, nice read.
This is definitely one musical I'd see

Happy birthday to the Reggienator
Re: Mobile Developers Extremely Positive About Nintendo's Move Into The Smart Device Space
Some real positive comments there.
I'm a little suprised, I thought some might have feared having more competition.
Re: Two Tribes Co-Founder Doesn't Think He Would Have Bought His Own Game
I got Toki Tori 2+ when it was on sale. I've enjoyed it but I haven't gotten round to finishing it.
Not sure if I'll get Rive as there are a lot of games I'm planning on buying.
Re: Complete First Season Of Donkey Kong Country TV Series Coming To DVD This May
that singing from DK was godly
Re: Super Smash Bros. Soundtrack Release Has Been Delayed Until April In Australia Due To Production Troubles
Well that's annoying. I just hope there's no more delays.
Re: Nintendo Download: 19th February (Europe)
No discount for Kirby? I hadn't topped up my eShop balance assuming it would be discounted.

Waiting for it to come for the Wii U version so I can get a bunch of custom stages.
