@mariomaster96 thought they were second party, not entirely whole but Nintendo has a vested interest in. Looked it up, and yeah, I am dated.....it's been a while!
@Martijn87 I am with you both! Breath of the Wild was game changing. I hate the Depths, but I am starting to like them for what they are....resources for energy cells.

@smithyo I share a similar sentiment. Its not as ground breaking as BotW was, bit I am enjoying TotK. 10/10 game it is not, but 9-9.5/10 most certainly.
I try to do as little as possible with the builds, but sometimes you are at the mercy. I just love figuring out ways to do things not using the intended methods.
We got my mom and stepdad a Wii for Christmas in 2007 when they were impossible to find. Family bowling tournament that Christmas Day. My grandma hustled everyone. Apparently they had one at her 55 and over apartment complex since launch and they had leagues, competed with other neighboring apartments. Over cocktails that evening she spilled the beans about her having “some familiarity, but not much” on the system.
@mykblo116 TAKE MY MONEY!!! I just don't get Smash, Ive tried, believe me I want to love this game but I just can't figure it out or get the concept of it.
Let me guess…these are my issues with it. 1) Small D Pad 2) Drift in a few months of Smash playing (I never got into it so my launch Wavebirds are still just fine. 3) Octagonal stick guides 4) One shoulder button on the left. 5) Too long of a throw for the triggers.
@Anti-Matter I’m an Xbox guy just because of the controller layout, but have been replaying Horizon and God of War before I jump into the new ones and I’m starting to get comfortable w the PS controllers.
GameCube however, man, that thing melted in your hand for Nintendo first party games!!
I’m impressed they got it to run as smooth as it is in that video. It’s not too much of a difference but you can tell more in these videos since we’re not playing and we can focus on the backgrounds and pop-in etc.
@Bunkerneath add these to your wishlist, set up a notification in your mail app like Gmail to get notified with a Nintendo email. You should get an email when stock hits. That’s how I scored mine. I wish I got two. Best of luck!
@WiltonRoots this is a great game! Also on the demo side of what the N64 could do, but so much fun! Similar to the one on the 3DS if you’ve ever played that, but this one was the ultimate chill game on N64 until 007, Zelda, NBA Hangtime, and Smash Brothers came out….then there was zero chill…all action!
@AgentGuapo I am enjoying the single player campaign more than I did on 2…but I Feel I’m forced to play it since I 1) hardly ever sink full retail on a game due to my back log and Gamepass 2) constant disconnects from the server even w baller ISP speed 3) my online stats didn’t transfer despite me confirming it on the load up…there was a network disconnect…shocker.
Playing Prime at a Gamestop during the Christmas rush buying my sister N64 and Goldeneye/Mario Kart for college got me to drop coin on the Sunshine bundle, Prime, a Wavebird and Prime....as a grand "welcome back to Nintendo" moment.
The only other time I played my PS2 that generation was for Katamari
I haven't spent money nor traded in to a Game Stop in over 10 years and I don't intend to. Even if I can score a PS5 from them, I will pass. I have been screwed over countless times by them with online shipping and receiving horrible quality goods (discs not playable, scratched to the point of not booting).
No more, I hope they get investigated for their stock split when they knew for years they had more shares shorted than available.
Thanks everyone for their comments back to me!! I spaced out since it was early for me in the US and didnt realize the capture was played back and the original video is online as well.
I tried this a few times with sticks and common items before I had the guts to use Ancient parts.....but you never lose them, you just drop them! HAHA....but I did this a bunch to load out all of my armor sets all the way!
@AhabSpampurse well....the Wii was strong and kicking and most games were on VIrtual Console I had gotten rid of....but not all of them!!

Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Direct Predictions - What Do You Hope To See?
Metroid Prime 2 and 3 sudden drops.....an announcement on Prime 4 as it's with Retro Studios now.
Re: Talking Point: Does Zelda: Ocarina Of Time Need A Full Remake?
Only if we first get on Switch Windwaker, a new F-Zero with a remake of the GameCube version, and Prime Trilogy.
That game was amazing but I think a remake will diminish it’s initial impact
Re: Nintendo Expands Its Switch Online N64 Library With Another Game Next Week

Re: Konami Is Releasing Another Baseball Game On Nintendo Switch (Japan)
I grabbed an old iPod Touch to keep playing Power Pro Baseball! Such a fun little game to play. There’s a version like this on Switch too!
WBSC eBaseball: Power Pros is the name. Lots of fun for a quick game and some RBI Baseball nostalgia
Re: Nintendo Aims To Reduce Scalping Of "New Hardware"
Unless they sell direct for the first 2 years, I don’t see that happening.
You can preorder at different retailers.
They won’t keep systems sales from their retail partners if they want a retail partner.

I wish this update would have added cross save…would be super cool to travel and have your account follow you…then pick up at home.

Re: Rumour: Immortals Fenyx Rising Spin-Off Will Be "Less Of A Copy Of Breath Of The Wild"
I loved this game. So much fun! The first DLC was great too! The second and third parts lost me a bit but still a must play for the main game.
Re: Random: "Die-Hard Nintendo Fan" Reportedly Forked Out Over $40K To Ask For A New F-Zero
I recall someone at Nintendo saying, “We’ve done F Zero and no new ideas have come up” so at least let us play the old catalog then!!
Ugh, best /worst company in gaming.
Re: Feature: 10 3DS Retail Games That Might Be Cheaper To Buy Digitally While You Can
Recently I purchased Super Mario 3D Land for $11.99 US, Zelda, Link Between Worlds for $13, NES Remix for $10, and a few others.
As long as you are cool with not owning the case or manual, you can find a score for $15 or less, usually shipped as well on eBay.

Re: Mythical Virtual Boy F-Zero Spin-Off Was 100% Complete, According To Former NOA Staffer
@AhabSpampurse $86 US for a complete used copy for GameCube is what I just paid for FZero GX
I HATE Nintendo’s “we already did this philosophy” with older IPs.
Yeah, we’ll Zelda, Mario…Mario Kart, Mario Party…those teats are pretty chapped…give us some different games!
