I'm surprised that nobody comment on Mii since sound like you only make one which is for your profile picture in the settings option. That's can't be right since Mario Kart 8 deluxe use Mii.
At least I can use Nintendo characters as my profile picture.
First two games are actually pretty fun if you got a bunch of people with smartphones. We usually play it every time if more than five people come over.
A warning for everyone that planning to get this game, this game required internet connection as well all your smartphone users. I recommend them to get on your guest wireless network so they won't waste their bandwidth to play this game. The reason behind this is that your smartphone users can connect to your game and use their screen to answer or draw. Its depend on the games and the most is hundred players (but that's game suck in my opinion) then eight players. Most common games are usually 4 or 6 players.
@NEStalgia @jswhitfield8 I can't explains it either. It is heavy but not too heavy. Its doesn't feel warm at all when I was at the event. Did you feel anything warm assuming you are not in the pool. ;P
@jswhitfield8 And I see your point on the controller. XD
@jswhitfield8 Yea I think its mostly metal for Nintendo Switch. Its hard and durable. But I disagreed with you on Joy-con sideway. I feel Wiimote sideway is better than Joy-con sideway but Joy-con did have extra two shoulder buttons if you don't count the extra minus or plus button on the wiimote.
Oh by the way guys, the plus and minus on the Nintendo Switch are actually buttons. I didn't know that until I tried it out.
@rjejr 1) I am not sure if you are talking about handheld mode or only one joy-con controller but I answer for both. The weight of handheld mode is a bit heavier than iPad in generally. As for joy-con controller, I feel awkward with two hand since the controller is literally in the palm of your hand. I was playing Bomberman R and Sonic Mania and its not bad since you only need one button. I don't know about more complex game that required more than one buttons. But I tried the demo of ARMS and its actually work pretty good in one hand. Only issue, I have with ARMS is that sometimes its hard to press the ZR and R or ZL and L button since the buttons are small. You use L to dash and R to jump. One of the ZR or ZL is to use special.
2) I tried doing this myself and its pretty easy once you get hang of it. First time, I wasn't lining up then I got the hand of it. Pulling it out of the dock is the easiest part in my opinion.
By the way, you might have to press ZL and ZR buttons if you pull it out of the dock or put it in since you can change controller. For example, I put it in the dock then I can press ZL and ZR buttons on the Pro controller to use the Pro controller.
@Lebon14 Oh boy! I already pre-order since the price seem fine for vinyl except for the shipping but whatever. I took noted of what you said and... there is a lot of people complains on iam8bit facebook and a lot of people appraised the company. But yeah... recent seem bad news.
@Damo You do have a point but I still agreed with Play-Doh_25 but it is a good poll regardless. Most of the gamers don't usually hang around in "Nintendo", "Microsoft", and "Sony" fan sites. But unfortunately for me that I do not have an evidence to back up my claim though.
Umm… I'm not sure if folders might solve my problem or its already solved before I reached the limit. My problem isn't about organizing the games but it is the fact that I'm running out of slots on my Wii U.
@theblackdragon: Since you are an girl or I assume so. Do you think the complaints are from the women or the men? I know some women in real life enjoys those kind of stuffs.
@Pinecallado: I getting Bidoof, Dunsparce, Zigzagoon, and Pidgey lately. I don't mind getting Scatterbug but I never got any from wonder trade. So I guess I'm an unlucky one?
@Pixel-Perfect Which is why Pokemon Transfer is transferring Pokemon directly from Black, White, Black 2, or White 2 to Pokemon Bank. Apparently Pokemon Bank will check if the Pokemon are legit or not.
@theblackdragon I totally agree with you and maybe other agree with you as well. (The comment selection is too big for me to find out.) I was wondering what is community manager's job? If she just monitoring forums or etc then why everyone else have this problem?
@tripunktoj: I think you are right since I check all my games and I have them all in my download list. I think I did download Hulu Plus in the past so that may be an N/A title in my download list. If so then what are the other two? The world may never know! XD
I got no Demo in my download list which is no big deal for me.
@tripunktoj: I haven't change region at all with my 3DS but I did linked a NNID and still have those games and it is included in my download list BUT I got an message that say "This software is currently unavailable." and its included Pokedex 3D as well. I don't know if this is important but I created an NNID on Wii U first a while ago then link the 3DS to NNID today.
I can play them but I don't know if I can redownload them since I have that message in my download list. (I still have all those games in my 3DS menu.) I don't want to take a chance to delete them and try to download them again. I don't know if this help you at all.
I noticed there are 3 N/A title in my download list. I going find out what they are.
@tripunktoj: What you mean by any problem with GBA Ambassador? I still have NES, GBA, Ambassador App, and Donkey Kong Original Edition on my 3DS menu and eShop download list.
@ledreppe: On miiverse you just click on the post but if you mean here in "Nintendo Life" then you have to use an "@" symbol beside the username to reply.
@EpicSkeletor: Yea I can see that as well. What if your 3DS broke as well? How are you going transfer a broken 3DS games to the new 3DS? I think Nintendo still missing the point of Nintendo ID right now.
@EpicSkeletor: Well they lifted the limit of transferring your data and games between 3DS models so the reason is still there. But I do understand your point and Nintendo are not the only one have this rule. PSN only allowed up to two PS3 to have the same ID.
@theblackdragon: Well I have no fuss about this update but I do have an fuss about spoilers in generally by Miiverse. It is not simple as "don't just read the posts" since those posts can happened in-game. Sure I can disable the Miiverse feature for that game but I will be missing out extra items, pictures, and features in some games such as Sonic Lost World and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.
Give it some time since the server couldn't handle all these requests. I used to have this problem earlier. I don't have an problem with eShop because I already "transfer", "merge", or whatever the term you use for the connectivity between 3DS and the Wii U account.
@rjejr: Well there are two options: neither disable Miiverse completely or cross your finger and hoping that you will not be spoiled.
The problem is that some games such as Sonic Lost World and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker use items and pictures. You can get tingle bottle and get an picture and put it in the Nintendo Gallery. You can get items from a lot of people for free in Sonic Lost World. If you disabled the Miiverse then you will miss out those features. There are some tingle bottles that INCLUDED spoilers WITHOUT spoiler tag attached. I haven't got spoiled by Sonic Lost World from items sharing yet.
I thinking about disabling Miiverse for Super Mario 3D World since there are a lot of "stamp only" posts and spoilers. I don't see any extra features requiring Miiverse unlike The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and Sonic Lost World for Super Mario 3D World.
@DestinyMan: Don't you get annoyed by people posting stamp only messages on Miiverse? Might as well called this game "Drawing tools for kids" since there are so many of them.
@QBertFarnsworth: You can redeem those points for eShop credit and use it for 3DS even before the Nintendo ID update. But buying 3DS downloads would not count towards the DDP points at all.
I think it is hardware related since Nintendo Wii U Basics should do the DDP if 3DS can do DDP after the update.
@Unit_DTH: You are not an only one so far. Look at previous comments by other users.
@Thomas WhiteHead: I know you stated it in the article but if you pick 3DS Mii then not only Wii Sport Club is affected but also Nintendo Land as well. I lost all "personal" data for that Mii. Other Mii in the game are not affected.
In other word, you going lose all the stamps and trophies for that Mii but you won't lose stars or prizes since it is part of the game data.
@SirQuincealot: That may be possible. Sound cool and maybe other players got power to help you.I don't mind ghost run and Super Mario 3D Land speed run records doesn't count as ghost run since you can't see how they did it.
PS: One guy somehow beat every level in 5 seconds according to my Streetpass record... Kinda lame and ruins the fun for me.
What is the streetpass feature for this single player game?
Only thing I can think of is that you can get gems similar to PokeMiles for Pokemon X and Y. Could this game use the same way as Samurai Warriors for 3DS handle streetpass?
