@SLIGEACH_EIRE with relation to the addition of an amiibo scan function causing you to fault the pro controller, please bear in mind that the fragmentation of controllers for the WiiU was one of it's downfalls.
If Nintendo had omitted it from the Switch pro controller, they would be getting off to a similarly bad foot with the Switch accessories.
@Mario-Man-Child PS. I'm Irish and I live in England. I'd be more than happy to post anything you want over to the Emerald isle if it works out more cost effective.
Do you have any information regarding what these new reskinned Amiibo unlock? Or do they just provide the same functionality as their previous versions?
I bought the games. I couldn't be happier to have SMW on my 3DS and the prospect of Super Metroid this week has me buzzing.
But yes, it is a bitter pill to swallow. I bought two wii u consoles on release and it has pained me for years that I can't even play my games on both my consoles (or even copy my saves!!!)
I always pay the money, like a idiot. But someday... My nostalgia will wear off and Nintendo are going to lose a valuable customer due to these kind of policies.
The time really has come for Nintendo to sort this out and get with the times. I've already bought these games when they came out. I've bought Mario world for the GB advance physically. I've bought it for the SNES. I've bought it for the Wii. I've bought it for Wii U.
If I didn't waste a hell of a lot of money on games I'd have quit Nintendo ages ago despite my love for their games.
I suspect that this is why so many people didn't buy Wii U and now hate Nintendo.
(I do think loads of people actually HATE Nintendo now and avoid their stuff out of principle)
They may have the cheapest console on the market. But by the time you factor in the games and all the bloody accessories you need, it really is a lot more expensive than Xbox one or PS4 in general (and that's including the subscription services on those devices)
Nintendo need to sort it out. They've needed to sort it out for years. But this 3DS virtual console is bound to be the last straw for many. Especially when I've been really hopeful of a turnaround, since they announced their new Nintendo accounts.
They need to wake up. God I wish I ran Nintendo for a week. I'd sort that place out. My directs would rock.
My opinion is that a six was an awfully low score for a game of this quality. Certainly now that some improvements have been implemented a "re-review" would be worthwhile.
@Rockmin I like the site generally. Its just a mistake. I'm pointing it out. I also wouldn't have been able to see the artwork until I opened the page, therefore your point is also invalid.
These things are stupid. I just want the game. Why dont they drop the price instead of bundling nonsense? I do not see the appeal of any of the crap they bundle with games.
New Mario. New Zelda. New Metroid. New FZero. New Mariokart. New Animal Crossing. New Advance Wars. New Fire Emblem. New Smash Bros. New Donkey Kong. New Pikmin. New kid icarus. New Mario and Luigi. New Pokemon. New Pokemon rumble. New Mario and sonic at olympic games. New Kirby. New Paper Mario. New Dr Mario. New New Super Mario Bros. New Stunt Race FX.

Bought the ravpower for Glastonbury last year and easily made the cost of the battery back by selling charges. Great battery pack.

Re: Poll: What Are Your Nintendo Switch Pre-Order and Launch Day Plans?
So you're talking nonsense. I bought a Switch from Game but bought accessories elsewhere.
Overall I agree that Game is a rip off.
With reference to this article's title youve went way off the programme.
Re: Poll: What Are Your Nintendo Switch Pre-Order and Launch Day Plans?
@Marshi the switch? Not mentioned.
Re: Hardware Review: Nintendo Switch Pro Controller
@SLIGEACH_EIRE why deduct marks for amiibo functionality?
Re: Nintendo Addresses the Question of Link's Green Tunic in Breath of the Wild
The green has to be in the game. The hero is always dressed in Green.
Re: Amazon UK Offers Nintendo Switch Downloads, Cost More Than Boxed Equivalents
I'm going digital and physical.
Collect physical, use digital.
Re: Miitomo Version 2.2.0 Can Now Be Downloaded
I quite like Miitomo. I hope the outfits can be brought across to the Switch.
Re: Poll: What Are Your Nintendo Switch Pre-Order and Launch Day Plans?
@Marshi please tell me one store that is doing the Switch much cheaper than Games price.
By much cheaper I think it would have to be more than £4.
Re: Capcom Has No Plans To Infect The Nintendo Switch With Resident Evil "At The Moment"
@SLIGEACH_EIRE I wasnt aware that pricing for Street fighter had been formally announced.
Re: Video: Digital Foundry Puts Breath of the Wild, MK8 Deluxe and Splatoon 2 to the Test
@joealejos maybe you don't notice them.
If you knew what you were looking for you would see these things everytime.
Re: Video: Super Mario Land Gets the Super Mario Maker Treatment
@AlexSora89 same problem here lad. Theyre two seperate save files, no way to merge them.

Re: You Can Now Pre-Register for Super Mario Run on Android
I cannot wait for it to come to Android. I bought an iPod touch in order to play the game over the past few weeks and I have really enjoyed it.
I will double drop. I guess Ive already spend £185 just to play it over Christmas, so another £8 won't hurt.

Re: Rumour: Nintendo Switch Dock Helps Boost Performance, But Not in the Way You Think
@DrRandle to be in the master race, you need to be accurate. The Nexus 6P uses USB type C.
The Nexus 6 does not.
Re: Video: Get Comfy for this Hour-Long Pokémon Sun & Moon Discussion with GameXplain
@MegaVel91 you talk nonsense. Absolute nonsense.
Look at the controller in this video at 50 seconds.
Absolute state of it.
https://youtu.be/ZUz_xskqzyM
If your career is based on playing videogames, you should keep your tools clean and organised. Like any good worker does.
If this is similar to your own work ethic, I'd suggest you implement a few changes. May help you afford that Switch without having to sell the Wii U.
Re: Rumour: New Version of Pokémon Sun And Moon, Pokémon Stars, Is Coming to the Nintendo Switch
@MegaVel91 please post a link to your official designation by Nintendo, in full, that doesn't also state the the console is portable.
Funnily enough I thought this was Nintendo's statement
https://www.nintendo.com/whatsnew/detail/first-look-at-nintendos-new-home-gaming-system
I don't see anywhere in that article that says "portability is this new system's gimmick"
Or maybe you are referring to this statement, where Nintendo didn't actually say anything that backs up your viewpoint....

Re: Rumour: New Version of Pokémon Sun And Moon, Pokémon Stars, Is Coming to the Nintendo Switch
@MegaVel91 that's your view. Which I would consider wrong tbh.
I can't see Nintendo developing seperate portable games beyond 2017, unless they announce something to the contrary.
Re: Rumour: New Version of Pokémon Sun And Moon, Pokémon Stars, Is Coming to the Nintendo Switch
@MegaVel91 it is pretty much a certainty that mainline Pokemon games will come to Switch.
It's Nintendo's new portable.
Re: Feature: 25 Essential Wii U Retail Games
@nodesfornoids you've been reviewing games since 2004.
Lol.
Glad to hear you'll be helping Sega with their next console. I'm sure their share price has tripled since you graced this page with your wisdom.
Re: Video: Get Comfy for this Hour-Long Pokémon Sun & Moon Discussion with GameXplain
@MegaVel91 don't have time to clean and look after their things?
No such thing as not having time to keep a place clean and tidy.
Especially if they are putting stuff on youtube.
How would you feel if a shop or leisure centre was too busy to clean?
Re: Video: Get Comfy for this Hour-Long Pokémon Sun & Moon Discussion with GameXplain
@alexolney I hope you didn't have the misfortune of having to go to their house. You ever see how dirty their house looks on their videos?
You think he wiped his ass with his controllers... and all the discs lying around, not in the covers.
Honestly stopped watching the channel after I seen that.
Its a sad fact that a lot of gamers are dirty, lazy and untidy.
Amount of money they must get from their site, you think they'd hire a cleaner.
Re: Rumour: Super Mario And Rabbids Crossover In Development For Nintendo Switch
I hope this turns out to be untrue.
Re: Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise Coming to Wii U eShop in Europe
A good game. They should not charge full price for it though.
I love the series, although I do think it suits handheld a little better.
Re: Ubisoft CEO: "Nintendo Has Learned from the Wii U"
I couldn't give a toss about Ubisoft or Yves.
Ubisoft bringing their shovelware to NX doesn't appeal to me at all.
Re: EA Had Plans To Create Its Own Pokémon Competitor
@AlexSora89 you obviously didn't own a copy of Mariokart until 2000. If you think CTR is as good as Mariokart (expletive)

Re: Platinum Hopes to Bring "More From Bayonetta" in 2015
@DiscoGentleman I do worry that you may be correct. For all they know this could be a Bayonetta game for the PS4.

And I'm a pretty big Nintendo fan.

Re: Platinum Games’ Producer Thanks Wii U Owners Who Bought Bayonetta 2 on Release
Great games. FInished them both.
Bayo1 was always one of my favourites on Xbox 360, great to see the Nintendo exclusivity.
Looking forward to Bayonetta 3.

YET?
Re: Nintendo Aiming To Create A Stronger Bond With Consumers Via Mii Smartphone Application
@rjejr I think Miis are great. Their simplicity and charm propel them way above any similar avatar nonsense available elsewhere.
If you think the Xbox versions are superior you're crazy.
Re: The Wonderful 101 Gets a Wonderful Soundtrack Release
I have supported the game.
Re: Ubisoft's Latest UK Release Schedule Still Shows Watch Dogs Wii U As "TBC"
@Grumblevolcano Yeah I see that, unfortunately I'm in the UK.
Would really like some info soon.
Re: Ubisoft's Latest UK Release Schedule Still Shows Watch Dogs Wii U As "TBC"
@gspro15198 fingers crossed? Are you for real?
I can't see this being much good.
Re: Ubisoft's Latest UK Release Schedule Still Shows Watch Dogs Wii U As "TBC"
It is a disgrace that Nintendo haven't revealed release dates for remainder of the year.
No release dates for Bayonetta or Smash Bros Wii U.
Which I want to book some time off work for, but of course I cannot do so until dates are announced!!!
Ps. I couldn't care less about Watch_Dogs.
