@Silly_G Sounds like you need to look into gog.com all drm free. If you want to burn it to a disc then go ahead. they're a really great alternative to steam.
@NoxAeturnus it also affects people who play in vehicles since aiming while bouncing down a road in a bus or winding through tunnels on a tube through central london makes aiming with the gyro annoying at best and frustratingly difficult at worst. You do not want to know how many skyrim arrows i've missed simply because i couldn't keep a steady aim on the tube.
Well this just put me off the game. Last time I had to deal with motion controls was trying to do a BotW dungeon puzzle while on the tube (you know the one where you roll a ball through a maze). 20 minutes of frustration I saved until I was off the tube and then did it in about a minute once sitting still. I'd much rather it were optional so I could use it when I want, and still be able to play on the tube (where I spend most of my handheld time).
@PtM it’s really not worth the email. i don’t care about the wallpaper but the business practice is anti-consumer.
they basically rereleased the wallpaper and blocked access to the old one. i bought the new one (because platinum coins are worthless) and compared it to an old copy i had of the original and they’re identical.
so we have lacklustre rewards for platinum coins and they’re not even secure, with big N removing them for no good reason. It just makes platinum coins even more pointless
So I just noticed that some of the new wallpapers (like the splatoon ones) are identical to some from before, and yet I am able to purchase them again. So I went back in the logs to find the old downloads page (Horrible horrible user experience. we need a "my rewards" page that simply lists our purchased rewards).
The old wallpaper HAS EXPIRED! - "This reward is no longer available." it says. No download options available.
I mean it was only 50 platinum coins that would have expired which is the only reason why I bothered, but still. Wow Ninty, that's some EA level bull you're pulling. Effectively taking away a wallpaper I've purchased so you can sell it to me again.
Would it be too much to ask for them to give away in-game items for platinum coins? How about a mario themed tshirt in splatoon 2 for a couple hundred platinum coins? A unique reskin weapon in the rabbids / mario crossover for 500 platinum coins? etc etc.
That's the sort of thing that would make this reward program engaging.
More wallpapers? You can grab loads of good wallpapers simply by doing an image search in your favourite search engine, or simply grab the promo art off the official websites and use those.
Is there a point to the platinum coins? after a couple of wallpapers that i only got to prevent points expiring, i find they're just not even worth thinking about.
the discount on the gold coins is fine. i'd rather have more unique rewards, but i'm ok with a discount. but those platinum coins just seem like a complete waste
Action games are very sensitive to wifi hiccups and lag. When playing multiplayer the information passed back and forth is streamlined as much as possible for the best games. Adding visual info to that would be like streaming a movie from netflix while expecting the response times of a locally downloaded console game.
If they can pull it off then awesome, but we'll have to wait and see...
difficult to imagine playing without touch controls (ie: docked). would like to see how they handle this because it may mean the future of the series on switch
Happy this got funded. It'd be nice if it wormed onto switch at some point in the future, but I'm just glad it's getting made in the first place. Swery is a creative oddball with some unique ideas.
@Nincompoop Yeah, I know D4 didn't do well and the chances of a continuation are pretty non-existant, but I can still wish. (Someone has to avenge Little Peggy).
I backed the project simply because of Swery. I'd love a switch version, but funding is still a little way off with only a week left so we'll have to see if this actually gets even a PC version.
Go to kickstarter if you love Swery and throw a few $s into the pot.
Currently it's Tales From The Sea Of Thieves because, well, pirates are cool and Rare have put a lot of work into building up the lore behind the game. That and the style and artwork in the book is just spot on.
@Rhaoulos I don't believe the incidence of left handedness is any greater in japan. They only write right-to-left when the script goes vertically, top-to-bottom. When writing on a single line the text still goes left-to-right.
the UK eshop has a link in the online eshop (at the co.uk site) with right to cancel that seems to lead to a wii-u page about the nintendo network that has rights to cancel within 14 days.
"RIGHT TO CANCEL (Digital content)
You have the right to cancel this contract within 14 days without giving any reason. The cancellation period will expire after 14 days from the day of the conclusion of the contract."
you have to send in a form, and i have no idea what the pre-order limit is (i just went to a random game i didn't own and scrolled down to find it).
not sure if this is the same thing (i guess some preorders are longer than a 14 day period?)
@Galenmereth as an english speaking customer it may not bring you any real benefit because you can import an american version and put up with minor localization differences... however losing the english speaking market may make it not worth it to localize into the other EU languages (what is it: german, spanish, french usually?) and so those customers definitely DO get something out of it.
BUT having said that: how many people actually ever import instead of buying from a local store? I don't have the numbers but i bet it's a tiny percentage. and if it is a tiny percentage then there is no real defense for region locking. what cuts deeper into publisher profits is the 2nd hand market. but that is a whole other kettle of fish.
if region-free would kill a game company then xbox and playstation would probably have died off already. technically the publishers there can region lock games, but i think there's been a total of maybe 3 games that actually ever got region locked.
but this is all opinion. i don't have numbers to back any of this up. just musing and throwing out some counterpoints for discussion's sake.
After they screwed up my last preorder I stopped using them completely and moved the last preorder I did have onto Amazon. It's a pity because some of the guys in the stores are cool. But I'm not supporting their inept online bull. It's given me way too many hassles before. Try changing the delivery address of a preorder >.< nope.. cancel it and re-preorder it. Seriously? That system needs some work.

@FeedingTheWheel I don't know.. I definitely see some Prime in it. And Prime was a big change from the real original games, but it worked and people liked it (not everyone sure).

@Nintendo_Ninja And yet it's getting 91% from critics and 7.8/10 from users on metacritic.

Maybe they should just release an HD version of the first metroid. Sharpen up the sprites, make it widescreen. Never actually make a new game. Fans HATE new games.
I am only being slightly sarcastic. Without actually seeing much about the game people are signing petitions to have it cancelled? Those are NOT fans. Those are nihilistic whiners who don't want to take a chance on anything.
If you don't like it, don't buy it. But don't be surprised when the rest of the world pick it up and you get left behind mumbling into your beer, alone at the bar about how game X was the death of the franchise.
At least wait and see if it's a bad game. Then complain it erodes the Metroid universe. Premature complaints are just... sad.
Halo: Reach didn't star Master Chief but I really enjoyed it. Let's judge this game on its own merits. If we're lucky it'll expand the Metroid universe with richer background and history which can only be good for the series. If we're unlucky then it'll be a minor glitch that everyone will forget.
Sure I'd like a new Samus title too, but I also like new IP and different takes on old IP. If you don't ever want innovation then just pick up the VC games and replay them.

When I started reading I thought it was going to be because the bunny reflects the standard high-street store employee. But then I guess he'd also have to ignore you until you practically tug on his sleeve for attention That's what you get for hiring at minimum wage though I guess. Poor bunny has a large family to feed.
Love these little streetpass games. Will definitely be picking them up tonight. Now hopefully a few more people will be wandering around with their DSs on so I can get closer to 10 hits a day. Need to figure out what travel times get me the most hits on the tube. Had a couple of late days with fewer visitors recently.
Buy a £10 smash bros Yoshi. Buy a Yoshi plushy. Practice your surgery skills. Custom Yoshi amiibo ^_^ I'm probably still going to get one of these though. I'd just hurt myself playing with scissors and needles. Plus they are darn cute (darn.. heehee).
If you're keeping them for collector purposes then they stay in their original packaging. If you're using them to play with then I don't see the point of the display case. It's nice, but not really worth it IMO. But to each their own I guess.
@Charlosa I guess you'll just need to wear your best Ninty T-shirt and hope other 3DS users are attracted to it? Most of my hits are on the underground. I do pass through Victoria and Earl's Court which normally have a lot of people on it so even a low % of users can still give me a few hits. It was better when I was going to King's Cross. That normally got me a lot of hits.
@MoonKnight7 I'm in London and I get quite a few hits. It depends on when and where you go. At my old job i'd get 10 hits a day commuting to and from work. At my current job I don't rack up 10, but I still get a few a day. Just a different route / different time. If I go out on the weekend with it though I tend to get a lot of hits.
Wow. That's a lot of stuff I didn't see watching the EU version of Ninty Direct. Still, there always seem to be more games than I have time for so I'm not complaining too much. The ultimate quandary: Work more so you can afford games you don't have time to play, or work less so you have time to play the games you can no longer afford.
@Konda no. They mean they will print out a receipt with the code on it. You don't need to have bought the game there or show them anything. All you do is go to the counter and ask for the pokemon and the will print out a code for you. It's just a way of building community with the store, it's a free give away.
"Get your very own free Shiny Charizard, exclusively at GAME. Simply visit your local GAME store as of 3rd April 2015 to pick up your free Pokémon for Pokémon Omega Ruby, Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, Pokémon X and Pokémon Y. No purchase is necessary, simply pop down to your nearest store to receive a code via receipt and follow the instructions below!" followed by instructions on how to receive a pokemon using a code.
@ikki5 hah. I don't hide the fact i play pokemon. I'm too old to care what other people think of my hobbies. My 3DS is the Pikachu limited edition and I play it openly on the tube. The only reason I haven't gotten a new 3DS yet is because I expect a Pokemon limited edition soon and I'd rather have that than a plain one.
I was more suggesting for @kupocake who is 28 and could feasibly have a younger brother at the (so-called) "right" age.

The ultimate quandary: Work more so you can afford games you don't have time to play, or work less so you have time to play the games you can no longer afford.

@Konda no. They mean they will print out a receipt with the code on it.
You don't need to have bought the game there or show them anything.
All you do is go to the counter and ask for the pokemon and the will print out a code for you.
It's just a way of building community with the store, it's a free give away.

Re: Shiny Charizard Distribution Coming to GAME in the UK
@ikki5 hah. I don't hide the fact i play pokemon. I'm too old to care what other people think of my hobbies. My 3DS is the Pikachu limited edition and I play it openly on the tube. The only reason I haven't gotten a new 3DS yet is because I expect a Pokemon limited edition soon and I'd rather have that than a plain one.
I was more suggesting for @kupocake who is 28 and could feasibly have a younger brother at the (so-called) "right" age.
