Speaking of lack of availability, since when did NOA start selling the standard new 3DS on their refurbished online store? The Black Friday model is available too. So that's.. something...

@Maxz About the smoothies, what Nintendo is doing is forcing you to have certain fruits and vegetables at certain times per day, instead of letting you create your own flavour. That certainly can have its advantages but whether that prevents it from being boring or.not is opinion based.

This blue themed Nintendo Life is already nostalgic.

I keep accidentally letting my gold coins expire due to lack of interest grabbing rewards. Ugh.

@Grumblevolcano The 3DS and Wii U both use Nintendo Network so I figured they're the same servers. That's how the DS and Wii were.

@OorWullie @Grumblevolcano Pokemon NEEDS internet so it shouldn't be any sooner than the Switch version of Pokemon releases.

Honestly it seems Miiverse was always intended to be more of a Wii U thing

What's the problem exactly, the product doesn't support French? Is it the box? As a Canadian I'm confused. This doesn't seem to affect France either.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE You can't convert on Switch eShop with PayPal as it only allows purchases from one region.

@G_M Actually I kinda agree with them right now with this unveiling, just thought there'd be more positive comments.

@Devlind The difficult curve was changed to be harder. Did you use Pokémon Refresh? I definitely had much more fun with this game difficulty wise.

@Devlind It's not easier than X&Y.

So much negativity huh?

Autumn/Fall? Why not pick one?

Someone should write an article on the new Pokemon distribution.

I thought these were full downloads for a second... nope! Bad as usual. And if it was offered 50% off already gold coins would need to be at least around 70 or 75% off.

Just had 30 Gold Coins expire that I was going to use to buy something but didn't due to lack of interest. My Nintendo is awful. Why do they even expire in such a short time?

The European version now offering games for gold coins is pretty good though. I'd have spent them if they were offering the same here.

@buildz I meant all of them. You just get random costumes on Easy and Normal and the rest are locked behind Expert. I've managed to complete Expert 3 times and Super Expert 0 times. I'm never getting them all. Not to mention the corresponding amiibo are likely nowhere to be found even if I did want to do it that way. They're completely inaccessible to me.

My biggest complaint about Super Mario Maker. Locking costumes behind the extremely unfair, unforgiving, and rather tedious & laborious (skipping bad levels or getting stuck) Expert and Super Expert modes is horrible. For me, torturous, not fun. Takes too long as well.

At least allow them to unlock on Normal. Maybe higher difficulties could unlock multiple at once.

It took almost three years into the 3DS' lifecycle for X & Y to come out. Hopefully they can handle a 2018 release if that's what they choose.

@panthro @AlienX "Colors" is not a mistake but "to" instead of "too" is. It's not the only mistake either, there's also "trough" instead of "through."

Honestly though it may not be professionaI but I didn't notice at first and IMO it's not really a big deal. Mistakes happen.

A slight improvement, yay! Make this available in NA.

@SanderEvers He isn't referring to Splatnet 2.

I'd rather just have it built into the system to be honest. Even Pokemon had built in voice chat.

I like mayo but it's quite a bit more gross than ketchup so I'd have to go with ketchup.

@OrigamiSquirtle Who? The writer of this article is American.

Miiverse shutting down will ruin the WaraWara Plaza. I don't think it's shutting down any time soon though.

Miiverse isn't going anywhere only because of the 3DS, otherwise they'd be in a hurry to disable it.

Why is this article so mean sprited? Not what I expected from another "stability" article but I suppose it makes for a refreshing twist. Appreciate the info though.

-Sent from my Wii U (Yes, really)

@Grudgebearer It is, but it's different if it's an afterthought because it's very new, versus just being treated like an afterthought for its entire lifespan.

@AlphaJaguar @MegaVel91 Just to be clear I was joking.
@AlternateButtons The system had only just come out. The 3DS started similarly and ended up a huge success.

It's been in development for years? Then where's the Wii U version? The Wii U hadn't "failed" yet back then. It was brand new. Could've ported it over to Switch.... /s

But seriously, I hope third parties don't just treat the Switch as an afterthought.

"How do you think Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon will compare to their predecessors?" We still know nearly nothing about them. Not much to say.

This is a redundant statement. It can't have any effect as there were none in production to begin with.

@Samus7Killer @thesilverbrick You're acting like Xbox 360, PS3, PS4, Wii U, Vita, PC and mobile devices haven't existed for years with better, high definition graphics. The 3DS not matching them is nothing new. If you could handle it back then then surely you can tolerate it's existence for another next year or two. The Switch is doing just fine.

I don't think this says much about 3DS production when the NN2DSXL is about to come out. The regular New Nintendo 3DS has NEVER really existed in North America so this is nothing new.

Still stuck on my launch day original model. At least it's still fully supported after 6 years, the DS, Wii, and Wii U didn't get this treatment.

I started with X&Y and they were pretty good but they're way too easy. I've had a lot of fun with Sun & Moon and love all the little improvements and even finished the dex, but seriously, there's no draw to these games when they've given nearly zero information. There is potential, but I'll remain cautious/skeptical for now...

@Meuz Actually there is an affiliate link to pre-order on the side of the screen, on desktop anyway.

It would be easier to get ports if it was more powerful but unlike with the last three systems it has a valid excuse to be "underpowered" as it is part portable.

The gameplay of the classic games is cheap and unfair. As long as they fix this then perhaps it can be well received. The graphics will ruin the attraction to most people though.

The only recent Sonic games I really liked are Generations and Colors and Forces looks similar to those. The rest were rushed/boring/unpolished.

(no, we're not calling him Eggman) Sorry but this line alone is enough to ruin the credibility of the article. It comes off like it's written by a classic fan that hates everything Sega has released past that. The Modern Sonic criticism takes it even further. It is balanced out by the Sonic Colors/Generations etc. remarks though.

Anyway lets at least give Sega a chance to polish up (or share more of) the game, those last months can be crucial, and we know how Sonic Team is with deadlines...

Half the price? The arbitrary Switch markup strikes again.

@DarthFoxMcCloud For the best, you don't want the Canadian stock to be depleted by both countries.

Stationery not stationary. Sorry I couldn't help it. I wish these were available in NA.

...That'll be all, it's 5am and at this point I can't be bothered to complain about My Nintendo.

SNES mini support?

@Ensemen If the thing that made you mad didn't happen in the first place you wouldn't be mad? This goes without saying.

I'm still annoyed about the Black Friday 3DS.

@AlexOlney This is an unboxing, it has to be a video.

When Alex was so excited about finally getting an adapter only to find it was the wrong one, trolled by Nintendo.

@Trikeboy Exactly. Reggie isn't in charge of Nintendo, the CEO in Japan is. Reggie is only in charge of the American branch and even then he can only do what Nintendo in Japan allows. Reggie cannot freely answer anything major about the system that he hasn't been briefed on or doesn't have clearance to talk about.

What if it's like Galaxy's "multiplayer".

@drewber2635 They can't start a generation with a remake though can they... unless Switch starts with Gen 7.

Can't wait for $79.99 Pokemon games.... seriously, owning a Switch vs 3DS, so expensive in Canada.

If this is real not so sure it's accidental.
