@JoeDiddley Yeah I saw them too. I'm just sick of seeing the tripe that always seems to be on while the more decent stuff hardly gets a look in. The same thing has been happening to the WiiU too.
Getting real tired of tripe constantly being on sale in the 3DS eShop. At least there's the Gunman Clive exceptions this week which is a surprising change.
@SwitchForce Well its not a dumb idea at all. If you read the comment I made I said about using one for storage to be able to transfer games to and from a HDD to save the costs of continually buying micro SD cards that can very easily be filled. Thus the element of portability is retained. And so is the choice of playing docked mode like a home console does with memory that can accommodate everything the user needs.
So you can take your ill judged comment right back to the stone age and stay there with it.
And you're also aware that you contradicted yourself in your insult, right?
"What kinda dumb idea is that to make ext HDD support it was made for portable on the go and docked."
I really wish Nintendo would allow storing onto external HDD's. I'm not bothered about transferring data to it and from the console, I'll gladly put up with it if it means I don't have to continually spend money on new micro SD cards.
I have a 2TB external HDD just sitting collecting dust here!
So the US gets a choice of physical or digital. We get digital or nothing.
Yeah, thanks Capcom.
You won't be at all bothered how much we have to spend on the huge cost of memory cards while you're sitting up there in your ivory towers are you? And even importing them will cost a vastly larger amount than it should.
No thanks, I'd rather keep my money and spend it on something else.
I actually really appreciate their honesty over this. I'd rather they done this than release some half-hearted attempt for the sole purpose of a cash in on the Metroid name.
These are really good games, I have loads of the on my phone. I'd probably double dip on a few for Switch too but not at the £8 asking price, that's way too much
So where are these Switch rewards that still haven't appeared a year and a half later? Every month I have a shed load of coins expiring because there's nothing to spend them on. And the odd things that are worth it, I've already bought long, long ago.
Not mentioned in your questions but I'd really like to see a retro section; whether that's features of old school games or guides, retro reviews (has it stood the test of time? etc ), or trailers, mini play throughs for past Nintendo systems.
I realise that's a massive undertaking but nurtured slowly it could become something epic. Nintendo past and present.
I don't have that but I do get what seems to be my screen peeling off on the top right side every so often. You can see where its coming away from the unit. I keep having to press it down and rub a little (the way you would with a plaster) for it to go back down only for it to pop back up a little while later.
I'm monitoring this and if it gets worse I'll be contacting them
This is actually very sad news. A criminally under used feature (only eclipsed by the blatant ignoring of the AR features which Kid Icarus used to my knowledge besides the pack in software) that never really got the attention it deserved from developers and the general public alike.
The odd game did use it in a fairly decent way but more often than not, it felt like something that was tacked on to check a box. I will miss it, I used to enjoy seeing my green light come on, but sadly that hasn't happened in ages, especially when there was an event and you'd get loads from overseas.
I can at least say I'm fortunate enough to have collected every purple piece of the StreetPass puzzles so while "random", it is technically possible to finish my last couple completely.
If they keep doing what they're doing now, along with what else they have/yet to announce for the year, then I can easily see them making and possibly exceeding this target.
I half expected this but after the length of time that we've all waited, the pricing should have been adjusted accordingly to something more reasonable.
Me though, I've already paid for it - I'm a backer.
One of my favourite consoles ever. Those sprite visuals and that sound it pumped out. Unmistakable and an amazing piece of hardware that I still treasure to this day.
I'm getting increasingly frustrated and annoyed at the lack of info about the Switch release of WMD. Yes we know you've said its coming and yes, its been playable at pretty much every expo Switch has been to but for the love of God people, WHEN WILL YOU RELEASE IT??

Frustrating.

"Rewards" they say...
Re: European Nintendo Online Stores Rebranded As 'My Nintendo' Stores, New Stock Incoming
Could this mean that soon these currently worthless platinum coins could be redeemed in these stores against actual physical goods?
Re: Super Mario Land And Sushi Striker Feature In The Latest European My Nintendo Rewards
And these "rewards" are still as pointless as ever. The amount of coins I'm losing per month is shocking.

Re: Rumour: Retro Studios Is Working On A Secret Star Fox: Grand Prix Title For Switch
Hmmmm, personally I'm not sure about this one. I'd prefer a pure F-Zero over this - that's if it is indeed true.
