Well I have no Alexa or any of those fancy things, but I can talk to Pikachu using the stock Amazon app on my Android phone. Just click the mic in the top of the app and ask to talk to Pikachu.
With the 13th being the 32rd anniversary of SMB, how about some more Mario? I could go for another console Mario Golf game like TT. Or how about getting this virtual console going with a rerelease of Mario Party 3?
If Nintendo refuses to bring back the Kremlings, this will have to do. Looks awesome. Can't wait for an Android version. (It IS coming. They are just testing an early version of it on iOS for now.)
Guess I'll have to boot up the game to see whether tower control is on or not then. With this and Miiverse in November, it is about time I pick up Splatoon 2.
Anyone remember Fatboy from Unreal Tournament 99? That was the first thing that came to my mind. The more you killed, the fatter you got and the more you died, the skinnier.
So many games used Miiverse in clever ways. Can't believe they are pulling the plug so soon.
It is going to make some games look so empty. Then of course there is the plaza. You know that place you see every time you turn your Wii U on. It will be so empty now.
Not sure how many people realize this, but you will still be able to take screenshots. Just open up the web browser and go to any file uploading website. I use Flickr. (You have to click on the "old uploadr", though.) I know this works on Wii U, but not sure about 3DS.
That was pretty funny that one year Teennick hyped up an unreleased Rocko's Modern Life episode for April Fools and aired a jar of mayo for half an hour. Good times.
At least you can upload screenshots through the web browser. So that should still work after the Miiverse closure, whenever that is. Just go to your favorite photo sharing site and hit upload.
I got that message due to my connection dropping out so much. Did they not fix the netcode or was it me? I had no issues with the first Splatoon 2 demo. This time I timed out like every 4-5 games.
After Ganon? Guess I'll need to get around to fighting him before getting this.
I know it doesn't make much difference, but I like to get everything before taking on the final boss. Along with the shrines and memories, I'm going for all the seeds and chests before stepping foot in the castle. Only like 700 seeds and who knows how many chests left. I'll use a map for chests once they become too sparse to find with the sensor.

I love the puns, but that game looks awful.

You can't have a Bedrock edition without the Flintstones.
Re: Rumour: A Second Toy Maker Says A New Sonic Racing Game Really Is Revving Its Engines
Blue marsupial? Who exactly would that be?
Either way, if Sumo is involved, I will likely be getting this on day one.
Re: Hands On: The Future Of Gaming Is Cardboard, Thanks To Nintendo Labo
Such an imagination those Nintendo engineers have. This is brilliant!
Re: Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze And Hyrule Warriors Are Coming To Switch
Now Tropical Freeze is the kind of game I'd buy twice. Especially for Funky!

I enjoyed it. Too bad there was no Chibi-Robo, though!

Motion controls, please! I need my tennis fix.
Re: Video: Yooka Laylee Runs Surprisingly Well on Switch Compared to the Xbox One Version
Can't wait! I am constantly refreshing my inbox waiting for my backer code to arrive.
Re: Feature: Yooka-Laylee Jumps Onto Switch in December - We Learn All About It
I beat it on Steam already, but I'm ready for round 2 on the Switch. Now how about that planned DLC?

I remember renting this because of the boxart. lol. Good game though.
Re: There's a Sonic Forces Demo on the Japanese eShop, But It Has a Strange Limitation
I like it. I'll be keeping my preorder.
Re: SEGA's Shun Nakamura 'Really' Wants to Make Samba de Amigo for the Switch
I love Samba de Amigo! Enjoyed it on the Dreamcast and also loved the Wii one.
If SEGA doesn't want to, maybe Gearbox would be willing to make it?
Re: Three More 3DS Games Are Joining the European Nintendo Selects Range
That music does not fit the video at all.
I will definitely look into picking up LM2, though! Maybe 3D Land as well. (I already have Kirby!)
Re: Nintendo Aims to Flush Out the Best Players in the Next Splatoon 2 Splatfest
Most people I know don't even put it on the roller. They just put it on the counter and wait for me to do it. lol
Re: Nintendo Has Announced the End of the Wii Shop Channel
Nice to have such long notice, but it still makes me sad. I better start looking into any WiiWare titles I missed or held off on.
Re: Spelunker Party! is Digging Its Way to the Switch eShop on 19th October
I loved the demo. Now I'm more tempted to buy it since I'll be able to read the menus. lol.
Re: You Can Now Enable Two-Step Authentication For Your Nintendo Account
@Thierry Backup codes. You are given a list of codes you can use if you don't have your device with you. (Each code can only be used once.)
Re: Dillon's Rolling Western Is Coming Back For A Third Helping Of Armadillo-Rolling Action
I must get this!
Re: Get Ready for a Nintendo Direct on 13th September
With the 13th being the 32rd anniversary of SMB, how about some more Mario? I could go for another console Mario Golf game like TT. Or how about getting this virtual console going with a rerelease of Mario Party 3?
Re: The Latest Game From The Stamper Brothers Feels Like A Donkey Kong Country Sequel
If Nintendo refuses to bring back the Kremlings, this will have to do. Looks awesome. Can't wait for an Android version. (It IS coming. They are just testing an early version of it on iOS for now.)
Re: Oceanhorn Is Getting a Demo on the Switch eShop
Demo? Must get. This one I've been on the fence about, so this may result in a purchase.
Re: Nintendo Is Ending SplatNet for Splatoon Next Month
Guess I'll have to boot up the game to see whether tower control is on or not then. With this and Miiverse in November, it is about time I pick up Splatoon 2.
Re: Competitive Shooter Morphies Law to be a Switch Console Exclusive This Winter
Got me interested in this.
Anyone remember Fatboy from Unreal Tournament 99? That was the first thing that came to my mind. The more you killed, the fatter you got and the more you died, the skinnier.

Re: Nintendo Happy To "Leave Door Open" For More Rhythm Heaven Games
Stretch out your neck!
Re: Telltale Games Says We Can Expect Guardians of the Galaxy and Batman on Switch
Nice! I'd consider picking up Guardians.
Re: MXGP 3 Bringing Motocross Madness To Switch Later This Year
Title sure took me back to 1998. Motocross Madness returns for the Switch? Then I remembered that is owned by Microsoft, so that'd never happen.
Too bad this game doesn't look free roam, but I'll still give it a shot.
Re: It'll Be a Battle of Super Powers in the Next Splatoon 2 Splatfest
Flight! So I can overcome my fear of heights.
Re: Splatoon 2 is Getting a Special Range of Summer Outfits Starting This Weekend
Flip-flops sure do divide people. lol.
Re: Random: GameCube Listings on Nintendo Websites Raise Hopes for Switch, But Don't Get Too Excited
I miss THUG2. Maybe I'll dig mine out and see if I can get into it again. That Eric Sparrow is pure evil.
Re: Piczle Lines DX to Bring Its Own Spin on Artistic Puzzles to Switch
Looks like it is free on iOS with microtransactions for more stages. Nice to see the Switch one have free stage packs instead.
Re: The ALL Controller Aims To Work Across All Your Game Consoles and Devices
Quite a big promise. I will play the 'wait and see' game on this.
Re: Batman: The Telltale Series is Listed for Nintendo Switch by Spanish Retailer
@MsJubilee Yep. I have those. What I meant was how we missed out on Season 3.
Re: Batman: The Telltale Series is Listed for Nintendo Switch by Spanish Retailer
Got it just last week on the Humble Bundle. Oh well. Still sweet to see TellTale supporting the Switch.
Now if we ever get another Sam & Max, maybe it won't skip the Nintendo console this time?
Re: New LEGO Marvel Super Heroes 2 Trailer Confirms 'Deluxe Edition' for Switch
Definitely getting this. Not until a decent price drop, though. I just now got LEGO City, so I'll be busy for a while.
Re: Rayman Legends: Definitive Edition Set for 12th September, Demo Live in Europe
Time for me to make a EU Nintendo account. lol.
Re: Splatoon 2's Next Splatfest Tackles A Challenging Choice Of Condiments
That was pretty funny that one year Teennick hyped up an unreleased Rocko's Modern Life episode for April Fools and aired a jar of mayo for half an hour. Good times.
Wacky deli aside, I hate mayo.
Re: Beach Buggy Racing Screeches Onto Switch Next Week
Could be interesting. I'll check out the (likely) ad-ridden mobile version to try it out first.
Re: The Nintendo Switch Online App Is Now Available for Download
I'm too shy to use voice chat, but I'll still try this out for the other features.
Re: Gallery: A Look Back At Some Of Miiverse's Craziest And Most Beautiful Moments
At least you can upload screenshots through the web browser. So that should still work after the Miiverse closure, whenever that is. Just go to your favorite photo sharing site and hit upload.
Re: Splatoon 2 Has A Nasty Surprise In Store For Rage Quitters
I got that message due to my connection dropping out so much. Did they not fix the netcode or was it me? I had no issues with the first Splatoon 2 demo. This time I timed out like every 4-5 games.
Re: Epic Mickey Was One Of The High Points Of My Career, Says Warren Spector
I love those games and wish there could be another one.
Re: You'll Still Be Playing As Link In Zelda: Breath Of The Wild's Next DLC Pack
After Ganon? Guess I'll need to get around to fighting him before getting this.

Re: Splatoon 2's First Splatfest To Take Place Before The Game Launches
Demo is up in the US! I just got done messing around in the JP one. You can do a tutorial and stroll around the plaza, and even post drawings.
Re: Guide: How To Beat Zelda: Breath Of The Wild's Trial Of The Sword: Final Trials
It took me a few tries, and 4 hours total, but I finally beat the final! I used bombs a lot, so that slowed things down. lol.
