My copy of Pokken DX arrived today. I'm also getting Pokemon Silver, as that's the version I played as a kid because I thought Lugia was so much cooler looking than Ho-oh.

@jadeyez80 Articles like this, moreso come from the fact that in the run up to Switch's launch, people where all shouting about how game cards would be so much better than discs, because the game could be played right off the card, WITHOUT the need to install hefty day one updates like on other systems.
It would have been true too, if Nintendo didn't charge so much to developers for the larger ones.

@Dev Depends when it would release. If they said a port of Smash 4 was coming out next February, that would give Pokken a fair amount of time to shine.

Come on Nintendo, it's time to drop that Smash Bros bomb.

I'm actually in the process of playing Mario 64 for the first time, and boy is it tough. Not the game itself, but the controls and camera feel like they do nothing but fight against me. Haven't played Sunshine in a while, but I don't remember it been anywhere near as bad as this.
Another issue I have is that many of the missions are just boring and confusing.

Grabbing this on Switch. Already played it on "other" platforms, and loved it. There's just so much content in the game, that it'll be great to have on the go.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Wait, what? No plug? What the hell are we supposed to use to power it then? Is it compatible with 3DS or Switch's power supplies? How the hell are they able to ship a product that requires a plug to even function without one?

Trying to decided on if I should just buy the American Digital version of Mario + Rabbids, or wait for the physical UK release next Tuesday.
EDIT: Never mind. I thought that it meant the game was out today.

Might finally be the right time for me to pick up I am Setsuna. Been interested in it for a while, but not for it's initial price, at least not digital. Seems a lot more tempting now.

Seems pretty unfair on people like myself who don't even have the option of good internet.
I have the best plan available in my area, but even that is absolute trash. I've brought it up multiple times to my provider, but they don't care, if you don't live in a major city it's 3rd world quality internet or nothing.
Why should I have to miss out on Splatoon 2 when the fault is on a company to lazy to fix it?

@Anti-Matter That's what the Joy Con are for. The system is too small for any decal or color to really be worth it, and it'd only be on the back anyway. I will say it's strange that we've not been getting themed docks, that seems like such a glaring omission.

@Lina-MG And, what might I ask, are you going to be remembered for? Been "the StarFox guy" is a far bigger accomplishment than been a random nobody who insults others for been proud of there work.

What I'm more interested in knowing is why SEGA updated my Sonic 1 app, that I paid for, just to include ads, and then tell me I have to pay them again to remove them.

I think that E3, at least from Nintendo's side, will be disappointing. Not 2015 disappointing, but still pretty bad.
They've told us that this E3 will be all about 2017 titles, and they've already told us we're getting Fire Emblem Warriors, Super Mario Odyssey, Pokkén Tournament DX, Splatoon 2, ARMS and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 this year, that's 6 games already that we know are supposed to be coming this year, that's one game per month for the rest of the year just from Nintendo themselves.
Add onto that the two Zelda DLC packs, and the known existence of Mario + Rabbids, and Nintendo has a pretty jam packed year, and that's before factoring in any third party, or indie titles. There just doesn't seem like there's room for a big surprise. At most, I could see Virtual Console been revealed, with the first games been available after the direct, but even that feels like a stretch.

It's a weird feeling because as a Nintendo fan, I'm excited for 2017, it's one of the best line-ups we've had in years, but as an E3 fan, I'm incredibly disappointed because Nintendo has already had two very low-key E3's in a row. With so few announcements in both 2015 and 2016, you'd think after that they'd be ready to go all out, showing that the Switch isn't going to be another Wii U, and that it's not only got a strong 2017, but will also continue that strength into 2018 and beyond.

I really hope we get a surprise announcement at E3 for an English release later this year. Seiken Densetsu 3 is up there with Mother 3 for games I'm still upset about not getting an English release.

I know NES Mini did well, but SNES Mini seems poorly timed if true. Nintendo should instead be investing in the Switch's virtual console, trying to get classic 3rd party titles that didn't make it over to the service on past systems, as well as adding consoles beyond Nintendo's.

I totally read this as "King Kong is been adapted into a stage musical".
I don't know how it would work, but now I want it.

I put my vote in for Impa, specifically I want her Hyrule Warriors incarnation, with the huge ass sword.

My second choice would have been Krystal. I know people aren't fans of SFA, but Star Fox could do with some unique characters.
Giving Krystal her staff would offer some amazing possibility's, her main attack would be the traditional staff moves, while the alts can be the staff's magic, rocket for recovery, fire for ranged, down could be earthquake.

I enjoyed the first, though a game breaking bug did ruin it for me. I might pick this one up at some point, but I'm not sure for which system yet.

I mostly play on the TV, but unlike any of there dedicated handhelds, I do take the Switch out with me. Been having a lot of fun with it in work, especially with Mario Kart.

I want the two Men's Pikachu ones, the Metroid one, and the first of the Donkey Kong ones.

Well crap. It felt like it was never gonna come here, and certainly not at retail, so I got it from the US eShop. Would have loved a physical copy, but I can't justify buying it again.

There are two that I mainly want.

Super Mario Maker, is the first. I want everything from the first game, but with the addition of more game pallets (Mario Land, Yoshi's Island, Wario Land), unique stage themes for each pallet, new items and new enemies. Really, I want SMM2.

Super Smash Bros, is second. I want everything from the Wii U, 3DS and DLC. Plus a minimum of Ice Climbers, Wolf and Inkling, and stages for each, as well as more music for stages like Midgar (One Winged Angel please), additional trophies would be nice too, but not a deal breaker.
I'd also like them to just support this version for the life of the Switch. Instead of making an all new Smash a few years down the line, give me a constant flow of extra characters, stages, and other content to keep this game feeling fresh, and let Sakurai have a break.

I also voted for Pokken Tournament as my 3rd option. Not as bothered about this one, but it'd still be nice to see, especially as the Arcade version has been updated with a bunch of new characters since the Wii U versions release.

I got both my Switch and BotW Special Edition from Amazon yesterday without issue.

GAH!!!!!!! I really wanna try HM64, but I've sworn to not buy anymore Wii U VC games due to the Switch releasing soon. I'm so torn.

Hope I can finally get Chansey then.

Breath of the Wild and Bomberman at retail.
I Am Setsuna and Binding of Issac digital.
200 GB Micro SD Card.
Carry Case.

Had holidays owing from work, which I need to use up by March 31st, so I'm taking the week off. The Friday and weekend will be exclusively Switch, do have other stuff planned for the rest of it though.

TBH, Miiverse is probably the thing I'll miss most about the Wii U. The art on there, especially from the Splatoon community, is ink-credible

Personally, I'm really hoping they can come up with a way to make it so the Switch is consistently online, even when you're out and about.
If I can play online Mario Kart while on my lunch break at work, then the price of admission becomes far more worthwhile.

I'm going physical for most games, mainly because I love the design of the game cases for Switch. However I'm still gonna get myself a pretty decent sized Micro SD, as i'm hoping we'll get good a good amount of digital only and Virtual Console games.

I'd love to know what's actually coming out at launch, it seems to just be Zelda and that weird party game they showed at the start.

Not sure how to feel about this. On one hand, it sucks, but on the other Wii U's online is terrible compared to PS4 and X1, I personally don't pay for either of those, but I might have to for Switch for Mario Kart, Smash and Splatoon.

Hey, at least this time we don't need to by a home console and handheld. So the higher price is kinda offset by that.

So... we're getting a movie retelling of the original series, with what appears to be the XYZ art style? Sounds awesome, I just wish they'd get the original voice cast back for it, I can't stand the replacements they got for Gen 4 and onwards, especially for Team Rocket.

Awesome. Thursday and Friday are my days off work, so I can easily catch up on sleep at other points. 4 AM also feels like it'll make it more reasonable for actual fans to get there pre-orders in before scalpers.

You just know that in March, someone is gonna start going in every day and play the Switch demo unit, hoping that they'll buy them one.

I was already getting Sun, but this confirms it even more. I want Alolan Ninetails on my party.

I never actually stopped play, I just play it less.

Most of what I need now comes from either 10k eggs, or evolution's, as such I usually turn the game on for my walks to and from work, and just leave it in my pocket to do it's thing, and only pull it out if I feel it buzz, or when I know I'm by a PokeSpot or my local Dratini spawn point.

Once I finish my Kanto dex, or at least, what can be finished of it, then I'll probably give the game a break until Gen 2 is added.

Nice, should be useful to get those last few evolution's I need to finish up my Pokedex.

I want the gamecube one so bad.

Color Splash is actually a really fun game. I wasn't going to buy it, as I hated Sticker Star, but I recieved it as a gift, and It's been a blast. I'd actually place it as my second favorite in the series, above PM64, but below TTYD.

FPS is the only correct answer. Graphics are nice, but meaningless if the game doesn't run at a steady, consistent pace, which sadly is the case with so many big games on PS4/X1 these days.

I'm calling BS, just based on Mario. Miyamoto said at E3 2016 that he was working on the next big Mario game, and that it was a brand new take on the formula, but he wouldn't be ready to talk about it until E3 2017 at the earliest.

Now sure, this rumor could instead be talking about Mario Maker, Mario Kart, or some other spin-off, or even a HD remake of 64, Sunshine or Galaxy. Still, As one of just four launch titles. It'd be a terrible move if the Launch titles for NX where Zelda (a Wii U game), Smash (a Wii U+3DS game), Mario (a port or remake of an older game), and then one final game that's an actual NX exclusive.

@Grumblevolcano Why? The promotion for this is handled by GameFreak and Pokemon Company, nothing to do with NX.

So question, if I downloaded this could I legally play a rom of Banjo Tooie, as I own it digitally via X360 and Rare Replay? Because the XBLA version of Tooie screwed up the music pretty badly, and makes the game far less enjoyable.

Can we scrap the original anime, and just have this turned into a full series?

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Surprisingly, no. He's correct to say seasons.

Each generation was meant to be it's own season (with the side seasons like Orange Islands and Battle frontier been part of the season that came before it).

However, because of the lengths of the later regions, they decided to split them up for the English releases, and now also split them for the original Japaneses versions too.

Wind Waker is still to this day, my favorite game of all time

@Nintenbomba64
I doubt it. They still need to be targeting March. If they miss March, they'd need an incredibly good reason as they've confirmed to there investors to expect it before the next fiscal year (April 1st), and if they miss that, it could cause them some serious legal backlash.

So it begins...
