@Peace-Boy I would agree with that statement if only.... THE REWARDS/MyNintendo account was a brand new thing for them. This "system" has already been reset 2x in the past. First it was back in the early gba/ds days, then it was reset again for this "new" program. This is their 3rd attempt at an account/rewards system. To me, this is way past the "early stages" excuse. I'm pretty sure they 'be had plenty of time and raw data to figure what their consumers want. Unfortunately common sense is not something Nintendo uses very often...
This new rewards system is a disaster. If I am an avid supporter of Nintendo and purchase a lot of of their games, how do the gold coins benefit me? Everything on that list of gold rewards I already have.... The stuff I want like Zelda picross is miitomo and Silver coins only which I don't get because that game is stupid I don't feel like touching it every single day. I fail to see how this new rewards peogram is better. another disaster from Nintendo. Don't get how every decision they make is always 2 steps backward.
@DTFaux after being a fan for over 30 years and following as closely as I do, I can tell you that I've tried to look on the bright side many, many times only to be let down and disappointed. I see nothing good from all this. As it is, Nintendo is already an underdog. The way things are right now, the best we can hope for is that current hardcore gamers adopt the NX as their second console of choice rather than not adopting it at all. Let's be realistic, there little to no chance that the NX will steal MS and Sony's fan base. The lines have already been drawn on the current console race, Nintendo is not going to catch up. If Xbox one and PS4 release updated consoles with 4K capabilities this year that will only add to Nintendo's woes. The question will be how a "new" console from Nintendo can't even match the power of a current console. I'm sad and I can tell you that nothing good will come from all this. I think it's too little too late.
My only concern with all of this is that the holiday season window will be completely missed by Nintendo. They are essentially giving MS and Sony all the sales this holiday season. Ive been around since the NES days and I can tell you that I see history repeating itself again like the last 3 consoles. I always have some hope that things will be different this time around but usually they aren't. I too am afraid that the NX may be the last of their home consoles. It makes me sad that they don't market their systems and games properly. I see this as a complete PR disaster.
We need a female hero. It only makes sense that the chosen hero for this chapter of the story is a girl. There's no way that it's a male every time. change it up!
I thought this game would be different from "infinity gates" but it isn't. I've played 2 hours and I can't play anymore. There is an excessive amount of stupid dialogue, and its totally unbearable. What a shame, I really wanted to like it but this game is not for me.
@Hy8ogen What a bummer. I was really hoping you could roam around the map with with some friends and play the story. Oh well, theres always a glimmer of hope with NX. Hopefully we will get better hardware and internet infrastructure that will support such options.

Re: Reminder: This is the Final Day for a Number of My Nintendo Rewards
Did I forget to mention that the discounts are non-transferable and that the coins expire within 6 months? That's bull.

Re: Nintendo Life Weekly: Zelda Wii U Rumours Point to Sex Choice in Playable Character
If this happens, Zelda doesn't have to be dude either, It can still be a girl. I honestly hope Linkle is the next hero.

Re: Random: New 3DS Owner Replaces the C-Stick With a PSP Stick
I'm so doing this! I hate that nub! It feels weird.
Re: Pokkén Tournament Modes and Details Emerge
There has to be a story mode. Otherwise why would there even be a "Dark Mewtwo" character? It seems that he is the last boss.
