THIS!!!!

@Other_Dave Nice one - that typo could cost GAME dearly!!

@Other_Dave I don't see it - you have a link please?

@Dazza I believe BotW SE is actually £89.99 (£87.99 for Prime members) for UK.

Help required from UK customers!

GAME doesn't have BotW Special Edition, and I can't find a Switch Pro Controller on Amazon. So I've ordered the console and controller from GAME (for GAME points), and BotW Special Edition from Amazon.

Anyone have any better suggestions please? Thanks in advance!

EDIT: I've now bought the game from GAME too. Search "Vreath" instead of "Breath". That typo may have cost GAME lots

@Tyranexx Agreed! That poster was huge, and I bought it despite knowing at the time I had no space for it.

There was the ceiling, however, which it now gracefully lies...

@Tyranexx I saw that Midna costume too! I was tempted to go as Dark Link which I've cosplayed before, but it would've been uncomfortable sitting their with a sword and shield!

Going to play it on Saturday. I can't wait!!

Super stoked. It's about damn time!!

@Piersen This! I'm refraining from looking up things on Serebii/Bulbapedia etc. as I want to explore things entirely for myself and have the adventure spoiler-free (although leaks and inconsiderate YouTube thumbnails have hindered that). With that in mind, I was curious to see what Salandit's hidden ability was, and thank goodness my eye caught glimpse of the whole male/female evolution part. I only raised my male by one level, so not all was lost - feel it for you though buddy, unlucky!

This is absolutely PHENOMENAL. Maybe there's hope for Nintendo in the movie industry after all, if handled like this at least.

@BrianFrobey Notice the term "arguably". It's all opinion

Amazing news.

My hero. Happy Birthday Miyamoto-san.

As a pro wrestling enthusiast, Inceneroar's Z-Move ticked every box.

Too little too late I'm afraid...

Anyone know how to add images here directly from Instagram? I have a few I'd like to share and they don't seem to work here!

@ThanosReXXX You like it?!

@SLIGEACH_EIRE That's actually a mad coincidence!

I love the lack of linearity this has compared to other 3D Sonic games like Heroes. You can go as fast as you like while freeroaming in vast and open lands. This is perfect!

This....this is....AMAZING!!

Now we just need a Link Charmander!

Goosebumps :'-)

So many chills watching some of these. Really solidifies just how much Iwata was an all-important presence at Nintendo, not that it wasn't already clear to begin with. That SSBM reveal - goosebumps!!

Awesome feature, Tom!

@Naisho Oh of course, I know that. I've always said it'll be a port, containing some neat bonuses such as all the 3DS content and perhaps even a few new fighters.

It's too soon to go from Sm4sh to Sma5h just yet!!

I'm STOKED. Who knows, will they announce their launch titles in further detail? Smash NX? Breath of the Wild (although that's already been done)? Galaxy 3?!

@Shepdawg1 Couldn't agree more. It's like a claim-to-fame for them. No respect in my opinion.

My YouTube and Twitter feeds were spammed yesterday. It's a shame, as the more people that find out about it, the more it's easily exposed to those who don't want to know.

I saw the final evolutions, by complete accident, of Rowlet, Litten, and Popplio. Devastated. It's almost as bad as the leaked Ryu trailer for Smash Bros. Let's hope something similar doesn't happen for BotW. I can imagine finding out about its final boss/ending/plot twist before it even graces a UK shelf.

Tough choice, but I got the coasters in the end. Great wall decor for my Super Mario section!

@Mega_Yarn_Poochy I hear you, but I guess I'm just comparing this to some of the earlier gen launches. The internet was obviously nowhere near as dense as it is now, and if you really wanted to know the inside scoop of the games before they came out, you'd have to look to magazines etc.

Now though, anything and everything found out about an upcoming game is blasted on the web, regardless of intention. Early playthroughs are covered by popular YouTubers, and even Nintendo and The Pokémon Company themselves just reveal way too much for my liking. Keep most of it under wraps, and you'll still generate enough interest as well as yield more organic playthroughs. It's common sense that there will be more features and new Pokémon in an upcoming game at this point, so there's no need to show us so much. Hoping Breath of the Wild doesn't receive a similar treatment, though I already feel I've seen enough

RIP playground rumours - boy I loved that era

Love the hype and all, but a large proportion of the game's content being revealed just makes me feel that my upcoming playthrough will be that much less enjoyable.

Yeah, I guess you could say if I don't want spoilers, I shouldn't look. But let's be realistic, how can you avoid such things in this day and age (especially when you're in the industry too)?

I dunno, I guess I just miss the era of having a game as a complete surprise. Imagine finding Alolan Grimer organically, only to feel excited while waiting to see what Alolan Muk would look like.

I understand the concept of marketing etc., but there's other ways to promote the game and increase interest rather than simply revealing loads of its content...

Great, I'm loving it - much more than I thought I would anyway!

Though when you've coloured 99% of a level and can't find that last percent for the life of you, it's really mentally taxing - I can't move on until it's done!! :/

It's funny, to this day I have people looking at me with the most confused of faces when I mention the words "Wii U". I often get told "You mean the Wii, right?"

It's amazing how poorly the Wii U has been marketed. I'd put it right up there with the GameCube - another amazing console but just unfairly disregarded by many. The Wii U has some amazing titles and in my opinion out-trumps the Wii's core library entirely (not from a business-standpoint obviously).

Man, I'm longing for that next Mario Party that captivated me like 1-3 did. And this ain't nostalgia talking - we still play them to this day!

Although to be fair, Mario Party 10 proved to be a decent game for us as time went on. It has its quirks, but still fails to deliver an overall experience akin to what the series used to be so famous for.

My soapbox here if you're interested! https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2016/06/soapbox_can_mario_party_return_to_its_former_glory

@BlatantlyHeroic I'm talking about the 90s. Sure, you had your Bulba enthusiasts, but if we're being real it was more or less all about Team Red vs Team Blue. I think both time and the evolution of the competitive scene has shown more love to the Saur family

I've expressed my concern for Pokémon's overkill in this new Gen in the past, but something I'm loving are the expressions and character being integrated into some of these newer Pokémon designs. Dartrix is the latest example, and ticks every box!

And is it me or will Popplio be this generation's Bulbasaur (sorry to all the Bulba lovers out there!)?

I'm disappointed that Pokkén Tournament didn't grab me as much as I thought it would on paper. When you have Smash, no other Nintendo fighter/brawler really matters

@Neurotic_Biotic Completely agree.

Aaand..... skint!!

This episode right here hits right in the feels! As a child, this was the sort of action I visualised as the little pixelated sprites and chiptune music carried out the story of G/S/C. Man, I love these shorts!

@BionicDodo This changed me.

Amazon UK made the save last month

Lol

Sick. My bro (30) and I (24) watched this like a couple of excited kids, just as we did in the 90s with the anime. So much nostalgia - especially the word for word trainer quotes from RBY!

Awesome.

As long as there's some form of Mushroom Mixup/Hexagon Heat involved, I'm sold.

Thankfully we found Lapras from the comfort of our seats in the office

Good.

These...are awful.

I'm sorry but as someone who rocks video game wear on almost a daily basis, I find these yucky personally. Yeah I used the word "yucky".

Insert Coin's range are a lot nicer I reckon, and they didn't have their logo branded all over their tees...

What is it with insensitive people neglecting matters such as this one just because "it's got nothing to do with Nintendo"?! First yesterday's Pokémon GO article, and now this (yes, I know some offenders have apologised since).

Yeah, I understand that many come here for Nintendo news, but it just so happens that with all the great comes the not so good too, so you're gonna get your real stories directly or indirectly related to Nintendo one way or another. If you're not interested or don't have anything pleasant to say regarding a sensitive story, feel free not to read or comment - it's that simple.

Opinions on whether a news piece belongs on the site or not is no excuse for a lack of sensitivity, compassion, or disregard of any moral whatsoever. I've seen some toxic comments over the past few days, real shocking ones at that.

Course, I can't force anyone to do anything, but let's try and keep this a clean and friendly communal environment like it's been for so many years

@FengLong Agreed.
