@nintendolife the last part of the article is a bit misleading.. its true that people using the older mobile phones cant access their game, items, pokecoins etc.. but once they log in to their Pokemon Go account with another supported phone, they can access their Pokemon Go data once again.
The best Panel de Pon version will still be the Pokemon Puzzle League / Challenge for N64 and GB Color. Both of them have better story and play modes (the gym leader challenge), giving additional depth to the game.
With so many kinds of animal crossings amiibos being released, i’m surprised that they did not offer free amiibos for preorders... or mention what kind of amiibo features present in the game.
@LaytonPuzzle27 Yes i hope there’s a model 2 release that have games not included in this model 1 version. A great way to milk additional revenue for Sega too!😆
It looks like a fun party game, hope it will have an English localisation to cater to international gamers.
Also, the title, Rabbids: Adventure Party seems too literal in translation. As the storyline is based on the famous Chinese novel Journey to the West, it sounds better to rename it as Rabbids: Party to the West.
The D pad returns is always welcome, but TV out removal, however they position it, is a bummer... if you remember the Nintendo DS Lite, there are no downgrades in comparison to the original DS.
Morevover, since they mention its still possible to play in multiplayer table-top mode on the Switch Lite with additional joycons, having people to squint their eyes on an even smaller screen doesnt make any sense.
the first thing I thought of Milo is a chocolate malt drink brand from Nestle super popular in South East Asia and some parts of the world. The green theme of the Gym even fits totally to the brand design!!!
@duffmmann definitely have!! Like what someone mentioned previously, you can get quite a number critically acclaimed games (with some Japan only releases) Saturn was also a powerhouse for almost perfect port of arcade classics, with its expandable ram option bringing fluidity to many 2D fighting games.

There was a displeasure among South East Asian (SEA) Switch gamers on how Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Torna - The Golden Country release was handled. The root cause of the problem is that as SEA region dont have an official Switch Eshop (for me, i need to use USA or Jap region to download/ purchase games), there is no way that the XB2’s DLC download code can be redeemed in the region, so Nintendo left the download code out in the game. More info below.
It is highly possible Bandai Namco wants to avoid all the outrage that happened for XB2, that they include 2 games on the card for this HD remaster, without the need for DL codes. And for those who are wondering, SEA region games will be fully in English.
Btw can anyone confirm with me about the NSMBUD game, when u control using the directional stick on the Joycon, does it gives u 2 speeds of movement for the character? Eg. moving the D stick slightly right makes Mario walk, while moving the D stick more right makes Mario run..
“The ability to claim your gift of Mew may be discontinued at some point after the initial sales period of the Poké Ball Plus.”

Here's a documentary produced by Channel Newsasia on Nintendo, on how it makes a comeback from some of its failures (including the Virtual Boy). It does state at the end of the video that it is researching on VR technologies, which is in line with what Reggie says. Though its not all correct in its facts, its quite an informative video with insightful interviews with ex-employee of Nintendo.
If u notice carefully, the Joy-cons are the tails of Eevee and Pikachu respectively.. Now i'll be printing out stickers of Chamander and Totodile to match the Neon Red and Blue Joy-cons of my Switch! Thanks for the idea Nintendo!
It could well be possible that Mr Iwata requested for the axing of these prototype Pokemon, in order to make room for Kanto to be squeezed into Gold and Silver versions.
It will not be emulation, but a full chinese port of Wii/Gamecube games on the Nvidia Shield. Looking at the video in the official website below, you can see that for Zelda Twilight Princess, the controls are mapped onto the shield's controllers.
Finally, a long drawn but fulfilling conclusion for the whole StarFox 2 saga! A game 22 years in the making.
"Cuthbert is keen to point out that this version is far superior to the numerous leaked prototype ROMs which are currently doing the rounds on the web - the leaking of which has been erroneously attributed to himself. "There are a few ROMs on the net in various conditions," he states. "But the ones I checked out are all old and they don't have the randomizing Rogue-like stuff working or all the encounters in place, so you don't really get the feel of the game we were making.""
Can't wait to try the final release version with everything cool mentioned by Cuthbert. His team's hardwork has fortunately not put to waste.
One of the buggiest game I've ever played. On my old 3ds, the load times are horrible. many instances as I enter into the game, it will say file corrupted and need to re-download my game info from server. However, just recently it has stopped working altogether, even when I tried to delete and reinstall the game, it refused to start... and there goes my 1000 over badges -_-
Pokémon GO, and other upcoming Nintendo smart devices games should support amiibo if the smartphone have NFC capability! That will definitely increases amiibo's appeal!
@Stu13 yeah, I think Level 5 can really take a leaf out of Pokemon Go if it is to create a Yo-kai Watch smartphone game!! Imagine we can see n catch lazy/hungry Yo-kais when we look at our friend's head through our smartphone AR.. LOL
@Maxz China has a few phonics based writing system, one of them is Pinyin (拼音). Using romanized aalphabets, it is used in many street names in China (together with its Chinese names) and teaching purposes. However, its application is mostly limited to those mentioned uses. Moreover, it can only be used in Mandarin, while Cantonese dialect requires a whole new phonics system as of the greater variation of the tonal voice.
@coolaggro Totally agree. The spoken Chinese language has many dialects, more than 10 including Cantonese, Hokkien, Teochew, Hakka... (I live in Singapore, which has Singaporean Chinese from these dialect groups.. and even more in Mainland China). However reasonable (or politically motivated) the Hong Kong people's desire of a proper Cantonese translation, they should consider the general goodwill that Nintendo is doing for its Chinese consumers (simplified and traditional Chinese is good enough), and not demanding something too absurd. Imagine Nintendo has to do translation for 10 different Chinese dialect because of it.. It is truely an overkill!!!
Biggest news from this Pokemon direct is actually for the Chinese speaking regions. They finally not just have their own localised version of pokemon games, title standardised as 精灵宝可梦，they also got their own customised version of Pokemon direct!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWSCYwGkCkY
With Nintendo finally creating smartphone games and apps, I think they should make Amiibos work with certain smartphones and tablets that have NFC connectivity. Use it for the functions similar to what New 3DS and Wii U is doing right now, but on smartphone games. It'll definitely broaden amiibo's usage and appeal.
It really feels similar to the development story of Dinosaur Planet which was then revised to be Starfox Adventures. Both games are developed in the transitioning of the console generation (SNES to N64, N64 to GC) and had a heavily altered game content.
However, Banjo is more of a refinement from Rare itself, while Starfox Adventures is caused by Miyamoto's inputs which Rare has to unwillingly follow.

Re: Talking Point: Come In Nintendo 3DS, Your Time Is Up
With the 3DS winding down it also burys some of Nintendo’s baffling decisions on the system.
1) Region locking (a infamous first for Nintendo’s handheld)
2) Some SKUs not (widely) available for some regions (Eg. Standard size New 3DS for North America)
3) Resistive touchscreen (3DS was released at the point where almost all phones, Vita had a more sensitive capacitive screen)
But... still i loved my 3DS, and it will be missed!
