If this works with the Google Pixel, then you can bet I'll be picking this one up! Seems like a great thing to keep in the car to whip out and play around with while you're waiting around in a parking lot (please do not play around on your phone at a stoplight~).

Unfortunate, but predictable; once the flow of new faceplates started to slow I was more or less expecting a discontinuation.

Now I never want to take mine out of the house for fear it hits the ground and can't get repaired.
🙁

Some pretty cool stuff! Between the weather getting better up here and the new PokéGo event, I can see myself playing a lot more again!

I really enjoyed Fate/EXTRA, so this was a pleasant surprise! Thought for sure I'd have to buy a PS4 to play this one.

The portability factor is huge for me. I really loved Pokkén but I personally prefer to play fighting games at my desk, so I can concentrate. Being able to move my Nintendo Switch from the downstairs couch to the television on my work desk is still remarkably mind blowing and will be served to great effect here.
Really looking forward to giving the online another chance after some sour experiences with input lag. Granted, it was probably my own sodding fault for not using the USB Ethernet adapter but still.

I just really love the graphics and presentation of Pokkén. That live broadcast feel just makes me NGH and the animations make me GRR!! Overall HNG/NGggHhh, gave me a reason to buy this game again.

God bless. I've been on the fence whether I should pick it up for 40, or if it's more important to just wait it out and hope for a rerun.

This is what I get for buying TP:HD used, I suppose

Just bought it last night! Not everything is to my personal taste, but what's there is the frantic reflex-test genre that I adore.

Disgaea 1 is definitely in my top 15 favorite games, but I do have to admit the series itself is a bit niche; I recommend picking up the demo and giving it a go if you're on the fence.
Disgaea as a series has definitely gotten a lot more moe-anime which doesn't always appeal to me, but the core gameplay that I know and love is still there and has had 14 years of refinement.

I heartily agree with the 8/10, and I'm happy to hear that someone who is new to the series could get a kick out if it! 😄

Totally caught off guard; definitely wasn't expecting to start crying. An inspiring and touching reminder why I love Nintendo games so much, it's that personal touch that separates Nintendo from other rank and file companies.

Here's hoping for a sequel on the Switch!

If the Squid Sisters aren't announcing the stage rotation who or what is? While the whole sequence got a little old 200 hours in I still found it to be a neat way to flesh out the character through their banter.

And yeah, it really does sound like a fanfiction I would have wrote when I was 14... 🤔 I think it's the mixture of the sentence structure, the coffee shop trope and name-drop of another NPC.

@YoshiPilot Well, in this particular example, I would assume Reggie was specifically thinking of the 3DS system line when he made the Cadillac comment.

"...the Cadillac of gaming."
Oh Reggie! How I love you!
It would be awesome to pick one up, and doubly awesome if there's a system exploit so I can run GBA and SNES injects on that large screen. 😋

@WitherAway Oh that's right, I vaguely remember it being announced. Thanks for the clarification!

These... weren't in already!? Those are some remarkably important games, you'd think it wouldn't take until 2017 for these cornerstones to get nominated

@Asaki It's probably a lot more comfortable and familiar for people who are used to playing more traditional open world games. The minimap was useful until I decided to play the game like an explorer and chart my way around Hyrule. No regrets on that one.

Arguably my favorite mechanic in the game. It feels like it's own little game, but unlike most tacked on mini-games these days it's just SO damn satisfying to ride down a mountain side, narrowly avoiding cliffs and bokoblins. The aspect of shield-durability degeneration doesn't even bother me when the reward is so much better than the risk.
Stupidly fun little stuff like this in games always jives with me for whatever reason.

How does the Switch version compare in terms of control? I can imagine the split directional pad on the left Joycon being unsavory.

Now's probably a good time to mention that "freedom of speech" as a legal concept only applies to the government and it's representatives. Playtonic is a private company and they have every legal right to withdrawal Jafari's VA.

If somebody wants to make the argument for free speech as a social concept I will absolutely agree with that point at hand, but at the same time Jafari should also be aware that words and intentions carry meaning and have consequences.

The flashcart solutions Sky3DS and Gateway were such a blunder in terms of piracy-execution and actual moral premise. I think both sides of the 3DS-hacking aisle can happily dance on it's grave.

@BLP_Software The point I was trying to make, which seemingly a majority here are, is that it's so incredibly arbitrary for Nintendo to throw away a system that worked well and came as a relief to many. If your theory is correct and Nintendo is wanted to start from square one, which could be correct for all we know (I'm not trying to shut down the discussion), and ape some of the features of their more popular consoles like the Wii and the DS, it would just be asinine on Nintendo's part to include a deprecated system that was panned across the board. The friend code system was not what made those systems great and commercially successful. 😛

Obviously, this is not the only way to add people to your friend's list and Nintendo adding the option to add friends from social media accounts is a welcome improvement, it's just another move from Nintendo that shows a certain amount of willing ignorance in the realm of online gaming.

It's going to be interesting to see how this pans out for the Switch in the long term regardless.

Come on Nintendo.
The one thing, the ONE thing the Wii U did so well, nobody could throw a hissy fit over.
I'm not angry with you son...
I'm just... disappointed...

@ElGrego You can actually display both screens of the Nintendo DS on the Wii U gamepad in the VC's settings. It's how I prefer to play DS VC games with the exception of the Pokémon Ranger games, where I hold the Wii U gamepad vertically.

As puzzling as it initially sounds, I'm actually waiting for either the Virtual Console or the release of Splatoon 2.
Having such a wide library of systems to emulate on the Wii U was a killer feature for me, the only problem was that the gamepad's range died just a few feet short of the hammock outside; true suffering.

While I have no reason to expect that the Switch's eShop will be as robust as the Wii U's currently existing selection within the first 6 months, I hope we'll at least get Nintendo DS games soon!
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon in the hammock sounds pretty good to me c:

EDIT: I also need that Famicom joycon grip is in my life

@Dryden Well, judging by the preview trailer for Splatoon 2, usernames are in all caps! It's something at least!
@ThanosReXXX Honestly, it's just Nintendo being Nintendo; comes with the territory! I'm sure the more reasonable of us will get over it eventually

Do you think they'll be doing Mega Bloks of Mega Pokémon? 😄

Not having my username starting with a capital letter is going to bother me way more than it has any right to

Pretty much what I expected, although the ability to use cellular service and bluetooth headphones on the go would have been nice.
My data plan would be destroyed from constant Splatoon 2 gameplay 😗

Edit: Also no 3DS BC? Kind of a letdown

I played a bit back when it launched last year, but it was pretty tough figuring everything out with my limited Japanese knowledge.
Looks like a good time waster between classes! Love the detail on the figure models too!

@Kroko Ehehe! Anybody who knows the granular specifics of the GameBoy line is a friend of mine! 😊

I still don't actually have a 101 myself, but I was considering moving the screen over into an AGB since that form factor agrees with my big-man-hands a lot better!

@Mega_Yarn_Poochy Somebody probably mentioned this already, but only the AGS-101 is backlit, all other models of the SP are frontlit! The frontlit screen sadly doesn't hold up that well compared to the modern screens of today, although the AGS-101's is still pretty beautiful! 😄

It is still a prototype, so if they fix the aspect ratio, I might pick it up as a Pokémon machine :3c

I personally hoped Pokken ranked higher, but I'm just happy it ranked at all!

I guess that only reason I want the Famicom Mini over the Classic is because I've never seen a famicom, and it'd fit nicely on a desk! (although that could go for both 😛)

Fates, Sun and Moon and Pokkén for me personally. I really hope we see a continuation of Pokkén, having local wireless multiplayer would solve the 30FPS problem during the Wii U's local. (Without a second console plugged in via Ethernet I mean).

I'll admit, I'm curious! Depending performance with PC this might be yet another controller to add to the collection!

It's a pretty fun Wii U game to get lost in, but the characters didn't have the same dynamic as the original. I listen to a few songs off the soundtrack now and then, but even then some tracks sound... well, not really for me 🤔
I much preferred the sweeping rock-orchestra soundtrack of the original, personally! Overall, it's definitely not a bad game and it had its moments, but as a huge fan of the original, it left me a bit confused and upset. It's like everytime the game did something awesome, it did something pretty awful in return. (F*#@ the Ma-Non's voices, it's like a chorus of dog whistles).

Also no cheeky English dub? That like made Reyn's personality for me 😗

@EmmatheBest Somebody might have mentioned this already (Don't have the time to read 50+ comments, hehe) but Nintendo recently revised the way they do console bans. Those guys who were messing around on the Miiverse were using an easily exploitable method in the 3DS' software, but Nintendo has since revised their console banning methods to use either a console-specific file on one of the 3DS' main chips chip (which would be pretty hard to mess with, not to mention less experienced users could dick around too much and break their system entirely) or Ninty could have used those banned console's MAC addresses, which would still be super hard to get around; more research would be needed to actually spoof said address so the banned console could go online again. It's possible they could have used console specific certificates too which are theoretically replaceable, but you'd actually need another hacked 3DS which also isn't currently banned.

TLDR: They're f*#@ed.

(Also if anybody is that stupid to play a leaked game, not only with wireless on, but to actually access the game's online features...? You got what was coming to you smh)

God, I love stories like this! Who knows what else Nintendo has in their vault? Gets me all excited just thinking about it!

Officially dropping kitten as a starter, that final evo is quite the eyesore unfortunately

The PokeGo Plus is such a super helpful little device, and really helps cut down on the grinding! If you're one of those people who is really set on playing Pokemon Go while driving, this seriously is for you, since it's just a one button press and you're done.

I went from level 13-14 to level 19 in the space of a week, so I'm gonna say this little bugger has already paid for itself!

@Stu13 this is the world's most underrated comment

@Yoshi I have the Homebrew Channel with a Rhythm Heaven VC inject and havent noticed any difference between this and my cart... I've been digging into the Taiko no Tatsujin series on Wii U as well, and after some fiddling got the input lag down well into the playable range. Maybe that helps?

Its something that'll change between TV sets and resolution. If there was any input lag introduced by the emulation, I didn't notice it. I also tested Elite Beat Agents and that was damn ace as well...

Its bizarre, but a better alternernative than rebooting the series for the 204th time

You had me at SUPERClicky.

I will never forget the day I beat VVVVVV.
Mostly because of that hole in the wall.

I've waited so long

and it's finally here.

Time to toss the 3DS port in the trash

These are getting a bit absurd now

Just let me off this crazy train

One of my favorite games on the Super Nintendo, but I can understand the critisism. I believe it was Mike Matei of Cinemassace fame who said, "it's one of those games you either get, or you don't."

Was not expecting an 8/10. Even though I don't like this modern Moe anime, I'll have to check it out!

I'll admit I'm disappointed to see football in cars walked away with more than Splatoon.

I don't like football, and I don't like cars so please be gentle when y'all rip apart my comment
