It was really average till the last section, where they dropped a lot of unannounced games
All the Final Fantasy ports, Cities Skylines, Civ VI show that the 3rd party support is looking really promising. Nintendo has missed out on basically all mainline FF games since FF VI on SNES, and are finally getting not 1, not 2, but 4 mainline games and their remasters.
Also the the Animal Crossing section was pretty funny with the double twist.
Did anyone have issues with the Voice Acting DLC after the update to add in the Champions DLC?
I didn't get the Champions DLC yet, but I was unable to use the VA DLC since it said I needed to update the DLC, but was unable to when I tried. Don't really want to redownload the whole VA DLC pack again, so I wonder if this update fixes that
To be honest, I'm not really a big fan of the new layout. Colour is fine, but trying to navigate older news posts that I missed would be a bit more difficult. The organization in days is nice to have, but having 2 large, 4 medium and the rest small makes it feel really clustered and unorganized.. had to look at it a few times to get how it works
But like with all redesigns, I'll be able to get used to it eventually!
Definitely looks a lot better than the Switch in terms of design and screen resolution
I just think that the 2nd analogue stick being right below the ABXY would be a bit weird and could accidentally bump into it. I like how it's placed on top for the Wii U
That's really disappointing.. definitely did this to prevent hacking and pirated versions, but requiring online connection all the time means it's a lot harder to play this game on the go :/
Really want to get discounted Xenoblade X, but not sure if I want the digital version, as I don't have enough space and don't want to buy a hard drive or memory card just for this game :/
I'm like what I'm seeing.. I've always preferred handheld gaming over console gaming, so now that I can play console games on the go is a great feature to have
I'm not completely sold yet, since there are still key information that we are missing.. price, what the 3rd party games are, and how powerful this is
What they need is to reward those who buy physical copies of games.. since digital and physical games are worth the same price, I will choose the physical version, but am not awarded for that, so is disappointing
@TheWPCTraveler I don't see it doing well honestly.. It has been released for basically every other platform beforehand, and it is quite expensive.. Wonder if the Nintendo content is just skins and more NPCs/mobs because those can easily be modded or added in with texture packs :/

Re: Poll: What's The Best Final Fantasy Game On Nintendo Consoles?
After Final Fantasy finally was released from the PlayStation exclusivity, I was able to play 12, 10, 9, and 7 in that order on the Switch.
Additionally, I have previously played 3 and 4 remakes on the NDS.
Final Fantasy 7 has definitely impressed me the most, though I have yet to play FF6 which is a pretty significant omission.
Re: The Wireless NES Controller For Switch Has A Few Surprises But Still Lacks Compatibility
Is a neat idea, but with super limited functions and that price point, it really isn't worth it
Using GameCube controllers with the adapter for other Switch games is the better option

Re: Check Out All These New Discounts on My Nintendo in North America
We're almost one year since the Switch launch, and still no Switch rewards D:

Zelda BotW
Splatoon 2
Mario Kart 8 DX
Mario Odyssey
3DS:
FE Echoes
Pokemon USUM
Re: The First Hat Wearing Pikachu Giveaway Has Started in Pokémon Sun and Moon
Annoying that you can only get one version of it, so I'll go with Sinnoh, despite the hat not looking the nicest
Re: Fighter Kirby Announced for First 4 Figures Range
Looks great, but with that price, I could get a Switch instead :/
Re: Video: NBA Jam Fans Might Like the Look of NBA Playgrounds, Coming to Nintendo Switch
The big heads makes it look really weird
Not a big fan of sport games, unfortunately but still nice to see it coming to the Switch
Re: A New Patch Is Available for Breath of the Wild on Switch
Can't say no to stability!
But frame fixes are good especially in towns and forest areas
Re: Atlus Launches a Teaser Site Hinting at a New Radiant Historia
Pretty excited for this!
Really liked the original, despite it being pretty difficult. Hopefully this sequel will still have its charm and uniqueness

Re: Nintendo Download: 16th February (North America)
Interested in the themes
BotW and Rune Factory 4 themes!
Re: Video: A Good Look at Why the Nintendo Switch Isn't Comparable to the Wii U GamePad
Definitely looks a lot better than the Switch in terms of design and screen resolution
I just think that the 2nd analogue stick being right below the ABXY would be a bit weird and could accidentally bump into it. I like how it's placed on top for the Wii U
Re: Feature: It's Time to Vote for Your Nintendo Life Overall Game of the Year
Fire Emblem Fates, Pokemon Sun/Moon and #FE are my votes, in that order
Re: Super Mario Run's My Nintendo Rewards Are Live
To be expected, still nothing physical so more 3DS themes I guess
Re: Random: Shigeru Miyamoto's Samurai Mario Shirt Gets Excitable Speculation Up and Running
My goodness, I never thought of anything really when I saw the shirt, except that it was hard to see..
Definitely could hint at something..
Re: Super Mario Run Will Require a Constant Online Connection
That's really disappointing.. definitely did this to prevent hacking and pirated versions, but requiring online connection all the time means it's a lot harder to play this game on the go :/
Re: Analyst Firm Notes Hype For Switch, But Worries Nintendo Is "Not Prepared" To Take Advantage
I agree, those are my main worries as well especially how Nintendo handled with Amiibos and the NES mini
With the Wii U, people could be hesitant on getting the Switch, so they really need to launch the Switch with a bang
Re: Nintendo To Hold Special eShop Sale During The Game Awards 2016
Really want to get discounted Xenoblade X, but not sure if I want the digital version, as I don't have enough space and don't want to buy a hard drive or memory card just for this game :/
Re: eBay Reports an Average NES Mini Sale Price of Over $200
Amiibo all over again..
Nintendo really wants to keep the demand high by shipping too few consoles D:
Re: Video: Check Out How Etika's 'Nintendo Switch' Was Produced
It looks pretty good overall, except for a few details that are pretty glaringly off
But is a bit surprising to see that people actually thought it was real..
Re: Rumour: Nintendo Switch Game Cards Limited To 16GB Size
Standard is not maximum size
And I doubt it, since Smash filesize is 15.6GB whereas Xenoblade X is 22.7GB
Re: Poll: What Do You Think of the Nintendo Switch?
I'm like what I'm seeing.. I've always preferred handheld gaming over console gaming, so now that I can play console games on the go is a great feature to have
I'm not completely sold yet, since there are still key information that we are missing.. price, what the 3rd party games are, and how powerful this is
Re: Random: We Explore What the NES Classic Edition Will Fit Inside, in the Name of Science
Darn, I was pretty sure it could fit inside a DVD player..
Good thing we have science!
Re: Oceanhorn, A Game Inspired by The Wind Waker, Confirmed for 'A Nintendo Console'
Really heavily inspired by Wind Waker, no doubt
It does look pretty good though
Re: Poll: Six Months On - How Do You Feel About My Nintendo?
What they need is to reward those who buy physical copies of games.. since digital and physical games are worth the same price, I will choose the physical version, but am not awarded for that, so is disappointing
They really need better rewards
Re: Story of Seasons and Rune Factory 4 Get Price Cuts in North America to Celebrate Sales Landmarks
I got Rune Factory 4 near launch at full price, but I don't mind paying the extra since I've logged a lot of hours in the game already
Price cut for Story of Seasons is pretty tempting, but I may skip and go for Trio of Towns
Re: Nintendo is Reportedly Taking 'Final Orders' on Wii U Consoles From Retailers
Nintendo really abandoned ship if this is true
Lifeline is completely cut :/
Re: We Almost Got A Pokémon And Fire Emblem Crossover Game
As much as I like the Pokemon and Fire Emblem franchises, I don't think a crossover would end up that well
Glad we got the Atlus crossover instead
Re: Video: Enjoy More Star Fox Zero Puppet Shenanigans in These Trailers
The first 2 aren't good but the last one xD
Re: Reaction: Star Fox Zero: The Battle Begins Had Humour, Weirdness, Teases and Lots of Potential
Was very good! Enjoyed watching it
Re: Rumour: The Pokémon Company Plans to Make a Big-Budget Live-Action Pokémon Movie
Don't like live action movies in general..
Re: May Issue of CoroCoro Magazine to Bring Huge Scoop on Pokémon Sun and Moon
That boxart looks AMAZING
The Legendaries on them look good as well, you know, besides all the white
Re: Natsume Talks About its Future Plans for the 3DS
That's good to hear...
Except that the 3DS isn't really missing out with Seeds of Memories, in my opinion
Re: Splatoon Update to 2.7.0 Will Bring Us The First Volume of Sheldon's Picks Next Week
Charger + Splash Wall is nice.. except that they nerfed the Wall again
Re: Talking Point: My Nintendo's Pros, Cons and Areas for Improvement
Overall is pretty good, though my 2 biggest gripes are
Re: Random: We Show You How to Make a "Fake NX Leak", For No Real Reason
I think you added just a little too much salt..
Re: The North American eShop Winter Warm-Up Sale Concludes With 15 More Discounts
Nice to see Fantasy Life finally go on sale..
Already bought the game, but would definitely get it if I hadn't
Re: Video: Watch The Epic Pokémon Super Bowl Commercial Right Here
Pretty good commercial!
Re: FreezeME Has Been Approved for a Wii U Release by Nintendo of America
Looks pretty interesting... will keep my out for this game
Re: European Zelda Fans Are Getting A Shiny "Hyrule Edition" New 3DS XL Console In March
@ROBLOGNICK
Definitely agree that they should flip the image around..
Makes a lot more sense when you are actually playing a game to see it upright
Re: Ichiro Hazama Would Like to Keep Making More Theatrhythm Games
Would love to see a Zelda or Pokemon one!
Even Fire Emblem or Mario would be great!
Re: Return to PopoloCrois: A Story of Seasons Fairytale Will Feature Dual Audio
Oh, nice! I've been on the fence for this game, but I probably will get it since I really enjoyed Fantasy Life
Re: Talking Point: Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS Set a Standard That'll Be Tough to Follow
This game will definitely be hard to top..
They should ad 100 characters in the next one!
But just like Pokemon, Smash has reached the point where the mechanics are all solid, and there isn't much more needed to change..
Re: Video: Soothe Your Soul With Some of the Calmer Music from Xenoblade Chronicles X

I don't see it doing well honestly..

Re: Video: Soothe Your Soul With Some of the Calmer Music from Xenoblade Chronicles X
Wow, I can't believe that these songs got pulled down too! D:
Re: Minecraft: Wii U Edition Will Support the Wii U Pro Controller, Voice Chat, and USB Keyboards
..and yet, they miss the most a really obvious inclusion.
The gamepad for inventory and crafting
Oh well, still nice to see these additions
Re: Video: Santa Is Ready For Insane Levels Of Monster Strike 3DS Demand In Japan
Weird that they left in the English Audio in the commercial
