I've not played minecraft before so I'm tempted to pick that up. I'm undecided on ARMS — it's not grabbing me so far but all the impressions seem very positive. I'm on the edge of picking it up at launch and making up my own mind, or letting the reviews do that for me
My thoughts are much the same — my mates are asking me what it's like and if they shouldn't get one, and to that im saying... well, why not hold off until later in the year when the library is stronger?
Having said that, three people I know have bought one just because Zelda... which is the total amount of people i know with a WiiU, so I'd say it's off to a pretty alright start
Those users bring baaaaad vibes here, negging and criticising without being constructive. I'm all for opposing points of view, but the poor or void justification of opinion is the real immature thing.
Unfortunately the mods abet this tide of negativity by not discouraging these users to channel their viewpoint in a way that facilitates fair discussion.
It's a shame because it's pretty much the only sticking point about the NintendoLife community.
Either way, I think the best thing to do is carry on and try to create a place of good vibes and good discussion here and ignore the bummers
I really tried to tough it out with this one though, but Noodle feels really heavy and slow, and moving his head up and down is a drag. I appreciate that it's a new approach to a control scheme but I'm not certain the experiment really worked.
I'm also not a fan of the collectables as a means to an end. Think the presentation is great though, it look nice, the characters are cute, and the music is wonderful, but it feels a bit dashed.
All the enemies except for the Hinox have metal weapons, and there are pretty frequent thunderstorms, so I just let nature do the selecting while I casually stood by.
@gcunit perhaps instead, would you mind calling out this particular negative user each time they make a comment? Perhaps some amusing editing will help him or her to step back and think about it. It's quite unfair to go after the users they've harassed as your response
You can add me to the list of people whose eyes roll every time I see the name! Cheers, I look forward to it
I'm sidestepping the issue of double dipping on this one and buying the bundle, then giving the game to my fella... maybe after I've had another quick run through
I really hope they just donate a huge amount to this region and rebuilding and recovery efforts. I'm a terribly struggling DJ / musician in Western Australia and managed to raise $2,400AUD from throwing a gig here and it was so warmly received by the Red Cross
Genius! I hate to correct grammar but it happens in every instance here and always reads so badly. I appreciate the effort put into my favourite Nintendo source!
This silence seems almost outrageous now. Surely the Mini-NES and Super Mario Run isn't all that's coming before the end of the year??! What happened to the Animal Crossing update too?
Can you guys start using the word "fewer" please? I know it's a minor gripe, but liberally spraying "less" in every single instance is poor writing and poorer editing.
I still check in on New Leaf every day - it's the Animal Crossing that finally blew the doors off the franchise after longtime curiosity. I'm trying to collect all the cards too — it's quite tough in Western Australia!
Those are some straaaaaaange names. It took me a while to twig that Type:Null was its name and not a special typing. And UB-01? Hmmmm. There must be something that sets these apart.
Otherwise I really like the Hawaiian extensions to the names. Gives these Pokémon a real sense of place.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE
How do you think Switch has been communicated in comparison to WiiU?
How do you think the incoming games will fare in selling the system?
Re: SuperData Says Nintendo Sold 2.4 Million Switch Consoles Worldwide in March
@SLIGEACH_EIRE I like you when you're happy 😊

Re: Snake Pass Update Improves Rumble on Nintendo Switch
The control scheme is so terrible in this game. I want to love it but I really can't.
Noodle moves sooooo sloooooowly and having to wrap yourself around things to move in space is a real drag.

Re: Feature: Nintendo Switch Countdown - 1-2-Switch Would Have Been Ideal As 'Free-to-Start'
I'm gonna pick it up on the e-Shop so I can play it with mates and for an on-the-go drinking game.
Unfortunately for me I'm dry this month so that last bit will have to wait

Re: Ditto is Out in the Wild in Pokémon GO
I can confirm it's any common Pokémon - I caught three today, one from a Pidgey and two from Rattata
Re: Ditto is Out in the Wild in Pokémon GO
I was gonna send this in before! I'm in Australia so we got it a bit earlier.
Hot tip — if you send your Ditto into battle it gains CP and transforms into the other monster. Should be good for taking out those dragon types!
