They need to start adding "Rewards." We need the physical objects and full game downloads rather than discounts. It's not a rewards program, it's a semi rewards program. Come on Nintendo, give us those cool physical rewards!
This is exactly the bigger problem in the world. People do something nice, they upload it, and then people start saying that it was to stroke their ego, etc. Why not give them the benefit of the doubt and be nice enough to say: That's really nice! But no, instead there is a lot of hate for something really nice.
I feel as if Nintendo is getting better though with their strategies. Of course, it will not be as good as the Wii launch, but eventually we should get to a point where they can make solid launches.
@Anti-Matter Basically the United States doesn't necessarily have the Soccer craze, but the accessibility is what makes it a bit more scary considering that a lot of young people(Under 17) play games with inappropriate content. The country is full of young CoD gamers. At this point, the games aimed towards younger audiences are more mature than the ones aimed towards older gamers. There is also the problem that a lot of young people think that the only way you are a "gamer" is if you play the games aimed towards older audiences because they are "more mature."
Great game, hate how it crashes sometimes. The game crashed for me several times before but then they patched it and I've only gotten crashes occasionally. I like that they fixed it but would like it to be even more fixed.
Great game. Wonder what they'll do in place of the second screen as that was a great part of the game. The load times hopefully will be reduced, but the music there was great! Hopefully my friends who don't have a Wii U can now experience this game.
It's just a really underrated system. It's got great games, and that's all that matters. It's ultimately the people's choice that it died so quickly because they decide to buy a lot of the same old games except with reskins rather than games with new features.

Re: Feature: It's Time to Vote for Your Nintendo Life Overall Game of the Year
Twilight Princess 3D was easily the best port Nintendo has ever done.
Those diminished graphics were the best.

Sorry, didn't notice that Toad was a playable character, thought he was an ornament for the kingdom or something like that.

Re: Fresh Download Discounts Come To My Nintendo In North America
@Mr_Zurkon
That's actually probably the worst considering that Club Nintendo did points for digital and physical copies.
So disappointing.

Re: Random: Shigeru Miyamoto's Samurai Mario Shirt Gets Excitable Speculation Up and Running
I guess Mario Warriors could make sense... But possibly just a new Mario skin? Mario Takamura Castle?

Wow... I wish this could happen to me.

Question is, if no touch screen, how will you play Splatoon?

Re: Rumour: GameCube Virtual Console Coming To Nintendo Switch
Melee? So I can finally play Roy in his home game! Oh, and learn some cool tech, but Melee!
Pikmin 2 anyone? Because I would love to have that on VC.

@electrolite77
Agree with you on that.
Re: Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS Makes Modest UK Debut as Pokémon Stays in Top 10
@electrolite77
Yeah, I agree. But some things just aren't the same, like playing a music game isn't the same as actually playing that instrument.

Re: Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS Makes Modest UK Debut as Pokémon Stays in Top 10
Why don't people actually go and do the sport rather than staying home and playing FIFA?
Re: Pokémon GO Plus Back in Stock at Nintendo's UK Store
Would be cool. If I had the app. Or data.
Re: App Annie Outlines Super Mario Run's Chances of Being a Major Global Hit
Free to Download, hmm, I like that. The app purchases shouldn't be needed.

Love the game! I'm about 89.90% through it and am getting close to getting it done!

Re: Ubisoft Director Says Nintendo Switch May Unite the Casual and Hardcore Gaming Audiences
Personally I think people should just learn to get along no matter what style of gaming they have.
Re: Rumour: The Skylanders Franchise Might Be Facing Cancellation
Personally, even though these things can be very annoying to see in stores, it's genuinely sad to see it die out, anything dying out is sad really.

Re: Lego City Undercover Is Coming To Nintendo Switch And Other Platforms Next Year

The load times hopefully will be reduced, but the music there was great!

Re: Rumour: Nintendo Switch Release Date and Key Games Outlined
Please not Xenoblade Chronicles X. I spent so much time on that game and haven't even finished it yet. I don't need a port.

I meant in comparison to other mobile games. The only mobile games I have ever gotten were free.
Re: Super Mario Run Jumps Onto iOS on 15th December, Priced $9.99 for Full Unlock
@DrRandle
$10 is a lot for me, I don't do these other micro-transactions that are in other games, etc.
Re: Super Mario Run Jumps Onto iOS on 15th December, Priced $9.99 for Full Unlock
10 dollars.... Wow, that's actually a lot.
