There's only so few developers right now that are able to fully make use of X and Pros graphical capabilities, apart from putting up a 4k resolution that is. Think it has to take longer.
It's hard for me to decide on whichever Mario 64 or Odyssey is the better 3D game, especially since its only a week since release. Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Bros 3 has been the games that I always come back to when I need my Mario action.
I'd say Odyssey is better, really missed the openness and exploration from 64 and sunshine (although I was never a fan of how you used fludd in that game).
I liked how you kind of had to search through the levels in Galaxy 2 to find the green starts but having a fixed camera basically everywhere made it feel a lot more linear compared to the older games.
@Kolzig The reason why we have this "mess" Bergsala is because they used to import Nintendo products before there even was a "Nintendo of Europe". While I'll admit they aren't as great as they were years ago, it's mostly because of Nintendo letting NoE take care of Europe as a whole and not giving Bergsala much to say about it (SCN-mark on games disappearing, etc). Understandable since there isn't as many people in Scandinavia when compared to the rest of Europe, but unfortunate.
I remember getting excited about the idea of surfing the web on a game console and buying the useless DS browser with a memory card for the GBA slot. Kind of disappointing, although I don't think I would use it.
Hopefully this means I'll be able to get this thing on release, as I haven't been able to pre-order anywhere since they started taking pre-orders in Japan.
I thought it was pretty funny when the occasional out-of-context/weird post popped up in Smash or Splatoon, but I think you could replace Miiverse with pretty much anything and it's still gonna be fine.
Ok, so I've played the Japanese version since it was released. And sure censorship sucks, but this feature really doesn't provide any depth to the game whatsoever. I mean, even if you find it interesting at first glance, you'll just end up hearing the characters saying the same thing over and over. It's just a silly extra.
Such a great show! It somehow feels strange to see Arino comment stages that I've tried myself.
Also, I don't know if this should be added to the article, but they reviled in the second video that they're gonna do a Mario Maker livestream on Youtube the 12th of December. ^^
I think it's up to Nintendo to approach Mojang, if there ever is to be an Nintendo-port of Minecraft. Since Mojang themselves only worked on the PC/Mac and iOS/Android versions.
It never hit me that Uchikoshi was involved with the Infinity series until I saw those encouragement photos. The more you know. Anyway, I thought that VLR was absolutely brilliant, so would be terrible to see the Zero Escape series being left unfinished.
I don't think that a second circlepad suits the 3DS, and it doesn't look that comfortable either. Will probably get it when I stumble upon a game that really need it.
I liked the controller. The only issue was that the analog stick could get bad after playing games like Mario Party. Ive replaced my stick since then and stayed away from those spinning games, still the N64 controller is awesome.

Re: Review: Final Fantasy VIII Remastered - The Weirdest Entry In The Series Is Still Worth A Look On Switch
I really like the story in FF8, it's all over the place but nevertheless something that I absolutely would not count as a Con..

Re: Review: Resident Evil 4 - An Ageing Masterpiece Which Deserves More Care And Attention
This game was a step in the wrong direction for the series, IMHO.
Not a bad game, but just not what I wanted a Resident Evil game to be like.
Re: Limited Run Games Publishing Dragon's Lair Trilogy Physical Edition
Awesome! I'll wait for the physical release then!
Re: This Wireless Nintendo 64 "Pro-Style" Controller Is Hitting Stores Early Next Year

Re: Retail Version of DOOM on Switch Will Need a Download for Online Multiplayer
I think it's a nice solution to make the game of that size playable from the cart.
The level editor on the other hand is a bummer.

Re: It's Still Quite Easy to Secure a Launch Day Nintendo Switch in the UK
I've stumbled upon one store here in Japan that started taking pre-orders again which hopefully is a good sign regarding stock
Re: Poll: Does Nintendo Switch Need Streaming Apps and a Web Browser, Or Is It All About Games?
Just a decent web browser that can handle youtube videos, soundcloud and the like would do it for me.
Re: Nintendo Switch Lacks A Web Browser Because It's A "Dedicated Video Game Platform"
I remember getting excited about the idea of surfing the web on a game console and buying the useless DS browser with a memory card for the GBA slot. Kind of disappointing, although I don't think I would use it.
Re: Nintendo Is Ramping Up Switch Production Following "Good" Pre-Order Demand
Hopefully this means I'll be able to get this thing on release, as I haven't been able to pre-order anywhere since they started taking pre-orders in Japan.

I thought it was pretty funny when the occasional out-of-context/weird post popped up in Smash or Splatoon, but I think you could replace Miiverse with pretty much anything and it's still gonna be fine.

I never thought I would ever see this, backed it in a heartbeat!
Don Bluth is such an inspirational man to me.

Took them long enough. With that said, I'm extremely excited to finally being able to play this!

I think it's up to Nintendo to approach Mojang, if there ever is to be an Nintendo-port of Minecraft. Since Mojang themselves only worked on the PC/Mac and iOS/Android versions.
Re: Zero Escape Series Creator Considering New Options for Possible Third Game
If Uchikoshi ever launches a Kickstarter, I'll be sure to back it up!

Re: What Do You Make of this Hello Kitty Sonic Crossover?
Slightly awkward...
Re: E3 2012: Wii U Tech Specs Revealed
I'm pretty sure they confirmed support for external hard-drives last year.
Re: Wii U Power Lacks a 'Generational Leap'
Meh, doesn't matter that much to me.
I'll be getting Wii U and I don't even have a TV that can display HD.
Re: Poll: Which Colour Wii U Would You Prefer?
The white feels more Nintendo-ish to me.
Re: Talking Point: Should Zelda Go Episodic?
I think It would be pretty neat if they made something similar to the Satella-Zelda games.

Re: Review: Prince of Persia (3DS Virtual Console / Game Boy Color)
Thought it would get at least a 7, will get this game anyway since I've played the GBC version before, and I love the original Prince of Persia.
Re: Rayman Origins 3DS Leaps the Atlantic on 20th March

It's hard for me to not buy both.
Re: Round Table: Looking Ahead to Nintendo in 2012
I don't think the 3DS really is in need for an extra circlepad..
Re: Expect the Circle Pad Pro Battery to Last for 480 Hours
I don't think that a second circlepad suits the 3DS, and it doesn't look that comfortable either. Will probably get it when I stumble upon a game that really need it.
Re: Nintendo Faces More Calls to Embrace Mobile
I don't want a phone to play games... so, no.
Re: Review: Cave Story 3D (3DS)
Dang it, November will be an expensive month.
Re: Feature: Remembering the Super Game Boy
The thing I loved with this was that it didn't require any batteries.
Re: Feature: Nintendo 64 Let-Downs, Head Scratchers and Conundrums
I liked the controller.
The only issue was that the analog stick could get bad after playing games like Mario Party.
Ive replaced my stick since then and stayed away from those spinning games, still the N64 controller is awesome.
