I was in 9th grade when I got my 3ds on launch day. I think I'm already getting old... I was so excited, but I didn't even get a game at first. I just played the built-in AR games. Now I've played many, many hours of amazing games!
Animal Crossing, Pokemon, Metroid, maybe a new RPG for the Switch, I'd be happy with one of those. We'll probably just get SwitchFit, but at least I get some exercise that way.
My brother and I share a Switch. He has had problems with the Joycons, but I haven't. The only time I had a problem is when I was sitting with my legs in front of the Joycons. I think the difference is how we hold the controllers.
I got an email from Bestbuy saying my preorder was cancelled. They said it's happening to everyone, and that it should be fixed within the next couple days. That's cutting it close. Has anyone else experienced this?
My mom took me to see this a long time ago, I don't remember much about it. She says I got a promo card, but I don't know which one, it's long gone anyway. It'd be fun to see this in theater again!
Once we know what NX is, as long as it's something good, we'll all probably forget most of the time we spent wondering what it is. It will turn into wanting to get it, then wanting a game that's coming on it, etc.
@AlexSora89 Well... the first thing the Professor says is: "sateto!". I googled it, and it has no meaning. Maybe it's the players name? The next bit I don't know because I can't read katakana yet.
@BetterThanVegas That's what I was thinking too. Either she transforms into it, or she's mentally linked to it in some way. Maybe as a result of some horrible experiment that the Aether Foundation did or something.
Here's part of her description: "she's working as Professor Kukui’s assistant for personal reasons. She's not fond of making Pokémon fight in battles, but she loves reading and has devoured many books."
@filterclay XD Well, the smiley face from gravitational lensing on my profile picture is purple. There's plenty of purple things for them to choose from that are actually galaxies. I am tempted by this 3ds, nonetheless.
@PlywoodStick Beautiful. Who needs to pay $200, when you can create an even better piece of art. And that looks more like an emission nebula than a galaxy anyway! But I can still hear it calling for me.

Re: Deals: You've Gotta Catch All Of This Pokémon Merchandise
I'd like either a Blaziken or Torchic plushie. Too bad I'm out of money. 😑
Re: "No Widespread Technical Problems" With Switch Joy-Cons, Claims Nintendo

Re: Random: You Can Use Cuccos To Beat Tough Enemies In Zelda: Breath Of The Wild
Are the cucco's more powerful than Ganon?
Re: Site News: Nintendo Life is Red, Nintendo Life was Blue
My only suggestion is to make the gray in the logo just slightly lighter, because the saturation and value in the red and gray is too similar.
Re: Site News: Nintendo Life is Red, Nintendo Life was Blue
It will take some getting used to, but I think I'm going to like it!

Re: Video: Let's Put the Original 3DS Through its Paces with Pokémon Sun & Moon
My original 3ds has trouble starting and closing the game. The screen usually goes black for a minute.
Re: Video: This Pokémon Picture Book Showcases the IP's Cute Appeal
@GeminiSaint I think Piplup stole Meowth's ice cream, and placed Aipom's tail there before Meowth could realize it.
Re: Video: Pokémon Generations Episode 8: The Cavern is Full of Apocalyptic Scenes and Impressive Over-Acting
The part where Archie was "talking" to Kyogre made me laugh. He is insane.
Re: Gallery: Let's Take a Look at the Nintendo Switch
It's hard to tell if it's necessary to get multiple consoles for a family.
Re: Preview Trailer of the Nintendo NX Confirmed for 20th October
On the Nintendo website it says, "Watch the preview trailer for Nintendo's next home gaming system."
Re: Preview Trailer of the Nintendo NX Confirmed for 20th October
YES! I'm very excited! Maybe it will be three minutes of a black screen, then at the end we'll hear a voice say, "You'll never know! Mwahahaha!"
Re: Pokémon: The First Movie Confirmed for Special Showings in the US
My mom took me to see this a long time ago, I don't remember much about it. She says I got a promo card, but I don't know which one, it's long gone anyway. It'd be fun to see this in theater again!
Re: Talking Point: The Problems With My Nintendo So Far, and Why All's Not Lost
I really do miss the physical rewards from Club Nintendo. But hopefully My Nintendo will get better.
Re: Future Pokémon GO Update Will Make Gym Training Easier
That'll be nice. Especially since I only have two Pokemon that can sort of fight gyms.
Re: A New Fighter Announcement for Pokkén Tournament Comes on 13th October
Maybe one of the new Alolan version Pokemon.

How old is Luigi then?

The success really was a huge surprise for them, then.
Re: Guillemot Praises NX Again as Ubisoft Shareholder Meeting Ends Without Vivendi Intervention
Once we know what NX is, as long as it's something good, we'll all probably forget most of the time we spent wondering what it is. It will turn into wanting to get it, then wanting a game that's coming on it, etc.
Re: Reminder: Darkrai is Now Being Distributed in North America
I think I already got Darkrai, but I'm going to check just in case.
Re: My Nintendo Picross: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess Now Available 'Indefinitely'
Yay! I've be working on finishing Pokemon Picross before I get this, so now I don't have to worry about it disappearing.

Can't wait to play Pokemon on the NX!
Re: Video: Take a Look at the Nintendo Game Counsellor Guide
It's nice to get a history lesson every once in a while. Now my dream job is to be a Nintendo Game Counselor.
Re: Animal Crossing: New Leaf's Fall Update Will Handle The Weeding So You Don't Have To
I tend to play it off and on. I recently had a burst of playing it, so unfortunately I probably won't have too many weeds for it to clean up.
Re: Buddy Pokémon Arrive in GO Update as Niantic Continues to Target "Bots and Scrapers"
Still nothing...
Re: Video: A Modder Has Made Super Mario Run 64
They work quickly. I guess they couldn't wait.
Re: Snazzy Japanese Pokémon Sun and Moon Trailer Showcases Fresh Footage
@Maxz Thank you! I'll probably use that site in the future.
Re: Snazzy Japanese Pokémon Sun and Moon Trailer Showcases Fresh Footage
@AlexSora89 Well... the first thing the Professor says is: "sateto!". I googled it, and it has no meaning. Maybe it's the players name? The next bit I don't know because I can't read katakana yet.
Re: Gallery: A Closer Look At The Aether Foundation, Ultra Beasts and More in Pokémon Sun and Moon
@Ed_Fairway Maybe! Type: Null almost seems like the Mewtwo of Arceus. It even has a mask to help it control its powers!
Re: Gallery: A Closer Look At The Aether Foundation, Ultra Beasts and More in Pokémon Sun and Moon
@BetterThanVegas That's what I was thinking too. Either she transforms into it, or she's mentally linked to it in some way. Maybe as a result of some horrible experiment that the Aether Foundation did or something.
Here's part of her description: "she's working as Professor Kukui’s assistant for personal reasons. She's not fond of making Pokémon fight in battles, but she loves reading and has devoured many books."
Interesting.
Re: Gallery: A Closer Look At The Aether Foundation, Ultra Beasts and More in Pokémon Sun and Moon
UB-01 reminds me of that "mysterious girl" that assists the Professor, Lillie.
Re: Talking Point: What Approach Should Nintendo Take With Its NX Reveal?
I think they should do a Press Conference, with a Direct as part of it or right after it. And if things go well, it WILL go viral on the internet too.
Re: Buddy Pokémon Confirmed by Niantic for Pokémon GO
Can't wait for this! I'm going to walk my Bulbasaur around so that it isn't useless anymore, we're friends anyway though.
Re: Wall Street Journal Reports That Nintendo NX Will Indeed Use Flash-Based Game Cards
Whatever the NX is, I'm looking forward to it. But right now I'm mostly looking forward to knowing what it actually is.
Re: Random: Spot the Difference Between the 'New Galaxy Style' New 3DS XL and a Third-Party Accessory
@filterclay XD Well, the smiley face from gravitational lensing on my profile picture is purple. There's plenty of purple things for them to choose from that are actually galaxies. I am tempted by this 3ds, nonetheless.
Re: Random: Spot the Difference Between the 'New Galaxy Style' New 3DS XL and a Third-Party Accessory
@filterclay That always bothers me. If they want to truly call it galaxy print, they should put an image of Hubble Deep Field or something.
Re: GameStop Opens Pre-Orders on 'New Galaxy Style' New Nintendo 3DS XL
Must resist....
Re: Reggie Fils-Aime Reveals 'New Galaxy Style' New Nintendo 3DS XL, Out in North America This Week
