We didn't get QR codes at our screening, only the card and poster-magazine. Are they available online or are they unique?
As for the movie itself, I liked it! The criticism about the plot is warranted: random heavy scenes, pointless Team Rocket appearances, not showing the battle with Ho-oh (the entire point of the Rainbow Wing!). But it's an enjoyable story.
The Pikachu scene caught me completely off guard but I thought it was touching!
If I change the region in the Play store to Australia, will it mess with my Google account? And will the game be overwritten by the UK official release?
@Hughesy It says volumes that you're enjoying Gold more haha. GSC was the last major revamp the series got and the gameplay still holds up today. I agree they're overdue another big overhaul
I was going to praise the open world until I remembered the first time I played Mario 64. The freedom of movement and variety of environments still blows my mind today. BotW did that until I realised every area in the game is exactly the same deep down
@Nintendoforlife I also wonder why she didn't join initially: I think it was because she simply wasn't interested! (I don't know what the committee environment is like so I can't comment on that). What is disheartening is how everyone thinks she's only joining now for the publicity: it was Lindgren who brought up the issue of gender diversity, and I think she's seen his point and decided to take the post. A person is allowed to change their mind!
This has nothing to do with SJWs taking over the world or PC gone mad. Lindgren took the decision to step down so that people including Sun took notice of the underrepresentation. I don't know why she is getting the flak for joining the panel when it was his action that made her rethink her position.
Limiting Salmon Run is understandable because it's so addictive, but the time frame to play it should be wider. People have lives, you know!
Random weapons are a joke, too. SR is hard enough without having to waste time getting used to a weapon class you hate.
Still only having 2 maps in rotation at a time for Turf War is ridiculous and should have ended with the first game. Even if they doubled the number to 4, it would still offer more variety than playing one map 90% of the time.
I gave up on this at first after the hasty intro because I didn't know what was going on, but I gave it another chance. For a game made virtually by one person, it's good!
I remember thinking when MK64 came out that as excellent as it is, it lost a certain charm Super Mario Kart had and hasn't been recaptured since. MK8 is okay but it's very "flashy" (jazz music is for posers) and feels rushed (because it was, to get Wii U sales up). I can understand why SMK won the poll.
I love love love this game but rain slowed everything down for no reason.
Beautiful world but the only rewards for exploring are Korok seeds. I wanted to stumble upon lore and characters with interesting stories instead of them saying "get me this thing".
More towns and villages, and more single homes in the wild.
I hated MK8 on Wii U. It was the biggest disappointment of the year for me: bland base game tracks that felt like the first drafts, Coins in the item boxes, preference for heavy characters, boring additions to the roster, no Battle Mode, unable to hold spare items. Will the new balancing and mechanics in Deluxe make it worthwhile?
I haven't got a Switch yet (waiting for a gold Zelda edition) but I think they should offer a discount for owners of the Wii U version for being loyal to a failed console!

Why didn't they get rid of the plaza altogether?

Super Mario 64's haunted house
Re: Video: Nintendo Shows It's A Piece of Cake To Transfer Your Data To A New Switch
Why did they not include the carry case like the USA bundle? Or do they just regard the UK as that sucker country that likes getting ripped off
Re: Feature: Our First Steps in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp
If I change the region in the Play store to Australia, will it mess with my Google account? And will the game be overwritten by the UK official release?
Re: Miyamoto on Bringing Back the “Old” Style of Mario, Exploring New Art Styles
SMW, SMW2 and Super Mario Allstars still have the best 2D graphic style. New is horrible and plastic looking.
Re: Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Will Arrive on Mobile in Late November
The setting makes no sense. Who puts electric instruments and cupboards out in the open on a campsite?

Re: Game Freak Says Its Younger Devs Have Created Pokémon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon
I thought Sun and moon were made by amateurs...
Re: A New Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon Trailer Arrives, Along With Famitsu Details
They SAY that, but will it actually be stuffed with substantial content?

Re: Review: Stardew Valley (Switch eShop)
Am I the only one who doesn't like the art style? It feels likes indies are having a competition on who can make the tiniest sprites.
Re: Sonic 3D Blast Developer Explains Bizarre In-Game Easter Egg
What about when you smacked it in frustration because it was a horrible game?
Re: Feature: 20 Games That Aren't On The SNES Classic Mini, But Really Should Be
@BulkSlash I loved Buster Busts Loose! And Mickey's Magical Quest
Re: Review: Arcade Archives Mario Bros. (Switch eShop)
I HATE this game. So boring, even when it first released

@Jamaal121 Good job I'm young then lol 😂

The Queen of the genre.
Re: Here, Have A Generous Helping Of Pokémon Ultra Sun And Ultra Moon News
I've only just realised this is a copy of BW2, only that Necrozma replaces Kyurem.
Re: Feature: The Big Nintendo Direct Summary - 13th September
Good: More 3rd party support
Bad: No Zelda DLC
No decent Switch bundles

Re: Random: Cringe-Inducing Diddy Kong Racing VHS Promo From 1997 Gets Restored
MK64 multiplayer was better but DKR single player (or 'Jointventure' 2-player) was brilliant!
Re: Show Off Your 16-Bit Style With This Adorable SNES Classic Hoodie
The cap is disappointing. Slapping a snes controller on the front is boring
Re: Game Freak Director Discusses Evolution of Pokémon Designs
So going from 2 cool four-legged cats to an ugly bipedal wrestler still makes no sense using their own process.

The only freebie you've had and it rolls off a cliff lol

Re: Nintendo Download: 29th June (Europe)
Should I get Steamworld Dig or go straight to Heist?

Re: Pokémon GO Cheaters Get A Nasty Surprise In The Latest Update
It makes me laugh how the countryside has fewer Pokemon when it's teeming with wildlife.
Re: Deals: Fresh Splatoon 2 Merchandise Floods The Nintendo UK Store
@Zyrac Trust them to not put the green and pink Joy-Cons in the Limited Edition Switch console bundle!
Re: Deals: Fresh Splatoon 2 Merchandise Floods The Nintendo UK Store
@chardir They are tiny. I'd order 2 sizes up from what you need. I'm a tall girl and I needed to order the L Men's sizes for some shirts :/
Re: Zelda: Breath of the Wild Director Says the Game’s Design Could Become the New Standard
NO MORE RAIN
I love love love this game but rain slowed everything down for no reason.
Beautiful world but the only rewards for exploring are Korok seeds. I wanted to stumble upon lore and characters with interesting stories instead of them saying "get me this thing".
More towns and villages, and more single homes in the wild.
Bigger variety of enemies.
Re: Review: Cooking Mama: Sweet Shop (3DS)
Order Up!! is still the best cooking/restaurant management game. It's a shame it didn't even get one sequel yet this overrated series has loads.
Re: Poll: What Do You Think of the Zelda: Breath of the Wild - The Master Trials DLC?
I'm underwhelmed by the first part - I wouldn't pay £9.99 for it. I hope the second part is more substantial.
Re: Nintendo UK Followers Choose Their Favourite Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Track
These people have horrible taste! 8's Rainbow Road is the worst in the series. Bland, just like most of the base game tracks.
Re: Talking Point: Weighing Up the Logic Behind the New Nintendo 2DS XL
@Xaessya What's that, Zelda amiibo are sold out? Let's make more 2DSs!
Re: Reggie Explains the Reasoning Behind the New 2DS XL
Why they chose to make these over more Zelda amiibo is baffling and stupid...
Re: Brace Your Wallets For Maximum Impact, UNIQLO's Nintendo Shirts Are Coming This Month
@Shinnos The Koopa Kids one is my favourite!
Re: Brace Your Wallets For Maximum Impact, UNIQLO's Nintendo Shirts Are Coming This Month
The winner is awful. The Splatoon one should have won. The rest are meh.
Re: New Nintendo 2DS XL Announced, Releases 28th July
Nintendo could make a killing by producing more Zelda series amiibo but they make this instead????
