@JoeSooper I've heard some people are having issues but it might be people with modded 3DS's. Personally I don't think I've had any issues so far but I've been only playing Fire Emblem so the issue can be with other games.
Okami will likely come back in some form because it's a best seller. However nobody has seen Viewtiful Joe in a while so it might be a really good idea to bring new life into the franchise.
@jsty3105 I wasn't saying it needed to be hosted, however there is a blurred line when something is not even available for legal purchase for years and an archiver just happens to have it. Why punish people for the lack of consideration and action to make it legally available. There's some things that didn't get re-released until 3DS.
@jsty3105 they're not as much about preservation as you think, a lot of the stuff was actually lost and they punish archivers just to take the preserved games. Which is why people have actually found code of emulators for PC. I kind of wish they just would pay the archivers and emulator programmers.
@Willo567 honestly that doesn't really excuse not making a section section in the eShop where you could purchase from Nintendo Switch. They migrated most of the DSI games, why not?
So worried that I actually called Nintendo about it a few days ago... I can see so many errors they have made with the 3DS. I suspect Nintendo is struggling with finding security specialist to deal with 3DS eShop. Honestly the idea people have had lately where they allow purchase from Nintendo switch or PC, and let you download it on your console. That's their security option.
@Bondi_Surfer he is a reader and they're not Nintendo. It's not solely up to them to encourage or discouraged someone to buy something but rather for people to make the decision for themselves. While NL staff can react better, and maybe understand that he is reacting based on what everyone else besides Nintendo life is rating and reviewing the game. There is a thing to overhyping, also I think people might be a little worried since Polygon is among the ones that are giving this game a high score and a "positive" review. However, I think people are going to enjoy the game in general but that doesn't mean everyone's going to enjoy it so that's why you probably shouldn't take another's opinion seriously all time.
@Mr_Muscle Nintendo life is usually pretty good about decent reviews and honesty, however they are in the UK and games vary in taste between the UK and the US. Like UK liked ZombieU more than the US.
You could have probably just put the Seattle times link. Also whatever happened to the idea of archive links if you're going to post any sourcelink from kotaku.
I see this as more of a post on a meme blog or image board. Also you've got to admit, as much as I understand that I wouldn't have some of my friends that I have without Twitter. This girl obviously did something to deserve this.
I would have probably taken more time to rate more of the games but the selection was quite expansive and difficult to navigate.
@Knighty_IX if this makes sense to you, most kids who played with the DS like 9 years ago had their parents choosing based on rating. They probably at some point put down their DS and never explored their more mature offerings.
@Enigminator yup, especially regarding certain things that are often banned from discussion here because no one can talk about it all in a responsible mature manner. A lot muddied by politics, etc.
Expensive but I was hoping there would actually be a holder for the switch in portable mode. It makes more sense if you're playing on the go. Securing your switch in place on the arcade stick.
@HappyMaskedGuy well, some mental health conditions do effect actions. (Although asperger syndrome is not a mental illness.) I know a mentally ill person that manipulated a single mother into legally signing a child away. She has that mental illness brought on by inability to have children and intense desire to have children. The family of the child is heavily concerned for the mental health and safety, especially since the situation is already looking abusive. The mentally ill person wants to keep the facade of her being the mother and the family. No one can do anything.
Honestly, I find it odd that there are actually less bulk bundle of any console, although they should probably have it down to a choice of 10-50 units too. If you have the money to shell out, you would have a closet of presents. For the next few years for strangers, family and friends.
It's probably going to heat up like an average cellphone while running a mobile game. The Switch actually has a cooling. While phones often are made to be light and thin, they greatest flaw is lack of temperature regulation.
Also does Huawei realise, on a trip people have several hours of gaming with a New3DS and Switch. As well, as PS Vita.

Re: Pac-Man World Re-PAC Is A Welcome Surprise, Launching This August
Yes! This is what I wanted and it's a nice surprise. I wasn't expecting it to actually come true, I thought it would never or would be years.
Re: Poll: Which Dormant Capcom Franchise Would You Like To See Return?
@Screen a successor too Battle Network would be great too.
Re: Poll: Which Dormant Capcom Franchise Would You Like To See Return?
@polkeroo I think Mega Man's always going to be having new games but I think games like Battle Network deserve a little bit more.

@tendonerd then there is the party that tried a redneck spinout with a smoke bomb.
Re: Video: Watch As A Father Uses Super Mario Maker 2 To Reveal Baby's Gender
It's adorable and at least it wasn't boring or dangerous.
@Dezzy definitely!
@tendonerd Hahaha, I wasn't the only one who thought about those incidents where they had the gender release parties and they were using fireworks.
@tr573 it's not that bad. Maybe the ones saying "icky" or ranting about social constructs... That might be the more toxic part.

Re: Gallery: Capcom Shares First Batch Of Devil May Cry Nintendo Switch Screenshots

@Trajan It's not the successor to the 3DS.
Re: Random: Leave Cardboard Behind With This 3D-Printed Labo VR Headset
@Nicolai I am pretty sure that Nintendo probably has those sold separately for people who have damaged theirs?

@SakuraHaruka it is very likely. Maybe a Miitomo hybrid? Which would be nice.
Re: Nintendo Will Replace Your Dead Switch Battery, At A Cost
People in the comments forgetting that NES, Gameboy and SNES games have an internal battery that eventually dies.

Re: Nintendo Says 3DS Will Keep Being Sold Unless Switch Becomes A "One-Per-Person System"

Re: Nintendo Outlines Black Friday Deals, With A "Link Green" Zelda 2DS Leading The Charge
@Hikingguy I meant, for a future bundle. A limited/Black Friday edition Kid Icarus Uprising Nintendo 2DS would be cool honestly.
Re: Nintendo Outlines Black Friday Deals, With A "Link Green" Zelda 2DS Leading The Charge
@Hikingguy maybe, but there was never a Kid Icarus Uprising bundle ever. So why not bundle older games on 2DS?
