I don't think the problem with Nintendo's pricing is that Dread will be a full-priced game, it's that Samus Returns is still full-priced on the eShop after almost 4 years and has only been on sale twice since release (in PAL at least)

We like this stock 💎🤲

13/15, Animal Crossing and Tennis tripped me up

Worth noting that the Donkey Kong DLC for Mario + Rabbids is also down to £5.99. Might be time for me to finally grab it

Amazing if true, but I'm going to take this news with 35 pinches of salt until anything is officially announced.

It's being said like 20 times at this point, but bringing up the fact the guy has Aspergers is pretty underhanded and insulting. No other major games news site which I could find raised that point, for the simple reason that it is irrelevant and adds nothing to the story other than making the audience angry or otherwise emotional.

The news is a voice actor in a video game is getting replaced for unacceptable behaviour, and the new voice is coming soon. It should not be an expose on the voice actor's actions or mental condition, which have no value to the general public. If people want to know what he did, they can Google it and find out themselves. This is a news site, not 4Chan.

Episode 2-12, @7:42 is what you're looking for.

Well this pretty much de-confirms any sort of Prime Trilogy HD for Switch anytime soon, but for £11 they are a no-brainer for anyone who hasn't played them before.

@humbucker Most spirits can be obtained in World of Light, but there are quite a few that can only be obtained in Spirit Board as well as the unlockable SP shops in WoL. Also most summonable spirits can only be obtained in the Summon menu.

@nhSnork What is this, a visual novel which uses Nvidia Hairworks, mile-long view distances, 4K shadow quality, and does my taxes in the background? A potato should be able to run any visual novel.

It is worth noting that yesterday Blizzard announced that the next major update for Overwatch would require a full re-installation of the game, bringing "fundamental changes to the game client". People are suspecting (and hoping) that this is will improve problems with performance and fix a number of bugs that have been around for a while. Hopefully, their planned changes will increase stability to the point where a Switch version is feasible for them.

My dream of playing Smash with just a Wii Nunchuck will finally be realised.

If this is real, it would be one of the most bizarre announcements for the Switch so far. UMvC3 realistically was only re-released for PC, PS4 and Xbox One to promote Infinite. To be honest, going by the history of Activision not renewing games from Disney-licenced franchises (I know this could be an Activision-specific issue), I was expecting UMvC3 to be taken off the Steam, PSN and XBL stores within 1 1/2 years after release.

There were even rumours circulating a while ago that Infinite would be taken off the digital stores a year after its release because of its poor sales and reception. Even if that's (most likely) not true, Capcom is already taken Infinite out of the Capcom Pro Tour, its own on-going tournament event.

You would have thought Capcom and Disney would try and distance themselves from the MvC franchise after Infinite as much as possible; and a port of a 2011 game, which got ported to current-gen systems a year ago; with a new game in the same franchise (commercially and financially considered an absolute failure), doesn't really help with that.

It is POSSIBLE, but this deserves a metric ton of salt, and there is just so much going against this being legitimate considering the state of the MvC franchise. Would like to be proved wrong, but I am no way convinced by this currently.

[EDIT] If you saw 7 copies of this massive essay just now, I am very, very sorry. My Internet is acting up a lot this morning.

The animation quality is actually rather impressive, but the whole concept is just way too memey for me. Maybe I'll check out the demo, but there's no chance I would spend money on this, unless by some sort of divine intervention it becomes a competitive, mechanically well-made game.

Guess we're not getting Lanky Kong...

Must have been one of the last people to get it, managed to use it with the Cyber Deals for Black Friday which run out at midnight to get Bravely Default for £15.

This is so stupid...

And I pledged.

@Mush123 The specification page also lists the dock's specs, which is what I was talking about. In the photos only one USB port is shown on the back, but the text says there are two more on the side, which are not shown in the photo. I need to learn to read...

@dazzleshell Well I am dumb, but its still a bit stupid that the photo on the website doesn't show it off the USB ports and instead the side which has nothing to it.

Really don't like the fact there is only one USB port on the dock, basically confirms you won't be able to use external hard drives, and makes it very difficult for Nintendo to add additional peripherals like the GameCube adapter in the future.

Without Kojima's consent, Phantom Pain is the last game in the Metal Gear franchise that will ever exist in my eyes.

Wouldn't the second and third points make some levels impossible to beat?

@Morph Dolphin work extremely well, and plays most games flawlessly. I won't link stuff just in case of site rules, but you can search most notable Wii games in Youtube with "HD" on the end in to see how well they runs. Just make sure your computer can handle it

So Renegade Kid wants to release physical versions of their games, while they're complain that the cost to even have them digitally in Europe is too high?

"Sorry we charged £150 to your credit card and put you into your overdraft 21 days ago, here's a £10 voucher you can only spend at our store where almost anything you want to buy costs at least £30"

Might buy this when it hits £5 just to see how bad it really is, which to be honest won't be too long.

More fuel to the Smash rumour fire, Sakurai's Wild Ride never ends!

So the only real sort of OK aspect of the game is the multiplayer, which is coming to PC in a few months as a free to play game anyway? I'll pass on this and just wait to be disappointed for free.

To people who are saying this should be a NX launch title: we literally know nothing about the NX apart from its name and we'll find out more next year. No launch titles, no specs, nothing. The only reason we know of its existence is so people don't think Nintendo is abandoning dedicated consoles. All of these theories about the NX are extremely premature, and I see no reason why people are so obsessed by it.

Well, I'm not buying Mario Maker day one...

Well, maybe if you didn't make Smash Tour the second biggest button on the menu screen...

@Rhydas ZeRo will advertise SoloMid's sponsors on his stream and wear a jacket advertising the sponsors during tournaments, similar to professional athletes. In return SoloMid will give ZeRo money, how much depends on the agreement they made in their contract. SoloMid will also most likely help ZeRo apply for more permanent Visa so he can stay in the US.

The reason why this may be seen as a big deal is because this is the first major sponsorship of a Smash 4 player, which may lead to Smash growing to gain a more high-profile place in the eSports community. Not to the levels of Starcraft or League of Legends, but maybe this will mean the Smash community will be taken more seriously among members of the fighting game community which do not see Smash as a "real" fighting game.

This a very, very sad day for the gaming industry, we have lost one of its greatest minds, and one of its greatest hearts. Despite the recent issues with Nintendo, Iwata only ever wanted what was best for gaming, and to entertain millions of people around the world, and he has achieved that over and over again.

Grabbed Shulk and Wario!

So this game is a shooter on the New 3DS, but doesn't use the C-stick? Count me out completely. Metroid is supposed to be about feeling isolated in an unknown environment, not sports.

Very quiet week then, must be saving some surprise releases for E3!

Last night was my only time with the demo, and despite the obvious issues in the first hour, the second hour has convinced me to buy the game, the overall game was much better than I had expected.
I will not be preordering though, if those connection issues happen so close to release there is a good chance they will happen again on launch. If the game launches with no issues on Friday, I'll be more than happy to go on Amazon/eShop and get it as soon as I can. But if it doesn't, I can wait for the issues to be sorted without feeling frustrated by owning a product that I can't fully enjoy.

How about a model with enough storage capacity to download more than 3 full priced games? With HDD storage so cheap these days, there's little excuse for Nintendo to use flash storage, especially since Sony and Microsoft have been doing so since 2005.

They should have delayed the game and released it with all the content at once. Every notable online shooter out there has private lobbies, why do we have to wait until July and August, when the hype of this game will inevitably die down, for something any good shooter should have at launch? Unfortunately, I think Spatoon will flop.

And this is why Nintendo's views on fan-made content are draconian and completely backwards compared to the almost every other publisher.

@OorWullie Guess I'm not buying DK 64 then.

Are the European versions of the two N64 games on the Virtual Console the PAL or NTSC versions?

"I am pleased to announce Mother 3 will be released on the Wii U and 3DS Virtual Consoles after this Nintendo Direct is over"
Wow really!?!?
"Nope, April Fools, please understand"

For that price, I really should take the plunge on SMT IV.

Are they being sent out in Europe yet? I haven't had any emails about it since the original confirmation one.

Shame Kirby isn't getting the same discounts the other Wii games got. I definitely would get it for £9, but £18 is a bit expensive for what it is.

@DarkLink95 Yeah, but the video only talks about using the original micro SD card that comes with the system, are there any extra steps I need to take? What about the 'have you used more than one micro SD card' option? What happens if I press that? This is really confusing and unclear to be honest...

So, what do I do if I'm getting the Majora's Mask Edition XL (which has MM pre-installed) and my current 3DS's SD card has more than 4GB of data stored on it?

Praise Helix! This looks surprisingly good
