Rexx

Doesn't seem to be available on the eShop in Australia

Now I want vines added - passionfruit! grapes! tomatoes!

Kiwi fruit grow on vines, not trees!

Yeah, it would be NICE to receive more fragments, but not every item should be common either.

@thesilverbrick I am, which another commenter also pointed out. I didn't say he was a Nintendo property, more that he was representative of Nintendo.

To my knowledge, the character has only ever appeared on Nintendo platforms (excluding mobile). The same can be said for Phoenix Wright.

I shouldn't have assumed others would be able to read between the lines of what I was saying there. I'll be terrifically clear in the future!

@woodenbard and fencing is as much about defence and agility too. I think he would be awesome!

@Galarian_Lassie

I was wondering if someone would be pedantic enough to point this out. It should be obvious by context that I was referring to characters most would see as identifiably belonging to Nintendo platforms or properties.

I for one think of Phoenix Wright and Professor Layton on my DS, for example.

I'm glad I was able to satisfy your urge 😜

I'm still up for more Nintendo representation over niche characters from other publishers.

Give me Captain Toad! Professor Layton (as a fencer!) and Katrielle! Phoenix Wright! Chibi-Robo! Waluigi! Box-Boy and Box-Girl!

It's hard not to think a big reason.for these gradual changes is because of the demand to keep up with the expectation of a new game every year or so.

I wonder - if Game Freak took a few years between games to make these big changes - would the community be OK with that wait?

I suppose they could pad the time between with "remixed" versions of other games in he series in the meantime?

@KingBowser another homo reporting for duty here 😘

@NImH i dont have a wife, because i’m a big musclebound homosexual

You have a good one mate.

@NImH being shocked that you would label queer inclusion as a marketing ploy and not for the excellent, surprising, heartfelt gesture it was isn't toxic. It's sincere and human.

Your comment absolutely read as a slight, so was it? Be real or take your games back to 8chan.

@NImH this is a really disgusting attitude. Grow up and meet some interesting people, or stop consuming culture if you don't wanna get a look into a perspective different from your own. Ugh.

I hope you're either joking (in which case, be smart AND funny next time) or somehow misspoke. I'm pretty sure the developer is queer so there's no way his gesture was anything but sincere.

@Liam_Doolan I suppose that makes sense. News like this will be picked up everywhere, but more personal stories/curios are what tips are for, got it!

Hope you're staying cool today mate. It's a billion degrees over here in the West.

Are you guys not crediting/reviewing news tips any more? @Liam_Doolan

Someone should design a summer Christmas themed level to recognise us plebs in the southern hemisphere haha

That Frankie Goes to Hollywood reference GIVING ME LIFE

I found a shiny Jigglypuff just hanging out in the wild! I got lucky

I can weigh in here since not only did I do something aligned to this as my minor, but I’m also a queer person of colour (not Native American), so I have an idea of how to respond.

It’s... less appropriate the remove the figure. There’s very little in the way of “stereotyping” going on with the depiction, and really is nothing more than cosplaying rather than something perpetuating the suppression of a culture. Think of something how blackface mocks people of colour whilst simultaneously removing their voice from the media. Or, more appropriately, how the Redskins have a racist slur embedded into their team name. This isn’t that.

What this leads to is a phenomenon called a structuring absence, where for whatever reason, a representation is removed from a text. This means diverse representation is overturned and creates a vacuum in which only the dominant culture (in this case: straight white men) is given prominent representation.

It’s proven that diversity in media has led to greater equality in society. I’m not sure this was the right decision on Nintendo’s part. I wonder if they consulted with Native American councils on this decision? If there are any Native American people here I’d love to hear your perpective!

Sorry for the long post! Hopefully it doesn’t get buried in the comments

Here’s my 5 picks — still close to my ballot entry way back when!

Banjo-Kazooie
Captain Toad
Phoenix Wright w/ Apollo Justice
Professor Layton w/ Katriel
Waluigi

I’m just waiting for a price drop on his one before I pick it up! Korg things are great but they occasionally hit 50% off on iOS so I’m hoping for something similar here

Do you guys not credit news tips any more or just not check for them?

I really dig the idea that the three corners of the Triforce - courage, wisdom, and power - need to come together to fend off a greater threat.

Hopefully we’ll see that sometime in the future!

Yayyy my mates made this game!

Well what do ya know?

Hello fellow Aussie

Hi NLifers! Please take a moment to add me if you’re so inclined : 06922055902

@OneArmedGiant oh I meant I got the JoyCon. I have a feeling the ProCon is an EB exclusive but I think they'll be relatively easy to find.

@OneArmedGiant slightly pricier than here because of the postage

@OneArmedGiant

I live in Perth and imported from Japan. They arrived yesterday!

@Rontanamo_Bay
This is an enormous bugbear of mine too, and one I have commented on at this site many times previously.

It's really poor writing form to mix these terms up and I cringe every single time.

BEYOND 👏🏾 GOOD 👏🏾 AND 👏🏾 EVIL

my mate in Japan pre-ordered the pink/green JoyCon for me so I'm looking forward to those! I can't WAIT for Splatoon 2, the first was my most played WiiU title by miles

The local mystic gang I see speculating that gyms will be set up on a first come first served basis - eliminating the need for really powerful Pokémon to occupy the gyms.

I hope this is the case because the most powerful aren't necessarily my favourite

New E3 predictions :

Super Mario 3D World Ultra DX
Captain Toad Treasure Tracker DX with Knuckles
Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival HD Rumble Dice DX ~ with limited edition amiibo for EVERY villager!!!1!!!1!1!
The Legend of Zelda : Wind Waker HD x Minions for 3DS mini cheese galaxy edition

I lol'd at the "Ammo Knights" pun hahaha

Ummm Professor Layton, Phoenix Wright, and Captain Toad need to be on that list!

Still devastated that the Animal Crossing shirt doesn't come in a big boy's size

Hoping they bring that sick Lickitung sushi-go-round mini game then

Rude

I'll wait for reviews of NBA Playgrounds, I've already got Tumbleseed - extremely difficult but charming nonetheless, and I'll check out the Master Blaster demo as I've read good things

@samuelvictor

"... if they produce enough units in time, they will shift a metric tonne of consoles."

A metric tonne of Switch is 3,367 units. Let's hope Nintendo aim somewhat higher, shall we? 😜

@samuelvictor legend. Thank you!

Which are the best ones?

Dammit it's only in kids size 😭 😭 😭

That Animal Crossing shirt WILL BE MINE!
