Still waiting on those Switch rewards six months later. With what's been added and what I have to use or lose this month, I'll currently be losing a little over 1,100 coins.
Its just not on. Bring back Club Nintendo - it should never have been shut down.
Then make more of them to stop the scalpers. Bloody hell it's not rocket science.
Yes other retro consoles might not have done as well but other makers don't really have the pedigree behind them like you do - of course your stuff is going to sell like hotcakes. Have you learned nothing from the continual amiibo debacle and last year's NED Classic issues?
I love you guys I really do but there's an increasing amount of times I'm wondering what on Earth you're doing. What muppets do you have that think it's a good idea to make 20 pieces of something and think that it will do?
Its just beautiful. I was very jealous of the Japanese when it launched there in what feels like an eternity ago and pretty much gave up hope that it'd appear over here.
So once the Americans are allowed to pre-order in their own country does that mean they'll cancel the orders they've made over here to allow us UK folk to buy from our UK shops?
Ahhh Game, always everybody else's fault except your own.
I do see your point about supply and demand for Switch, valid but its not only in this country, but 99% of your problems are your own. Vastly overpriced and arrogant staff. You nearly went bankrupt a few years ago because of all of this but have learned? Of course not. This time I don't think you'll be as lucky.
And also, why don't you push Nintendo anymore? Having masses of space allocated to PS and XB with a tiny section for Nintendo when both 3DS and Switch are still in their prime and selling like hot cakes respectively is like commiting retail suicide.
I really wish they'd give proper rewards like the old Club Nintendo program used to give. Redeeming coins for discounts on games that have been out for so long which the world and his wife will probably have is a giant let down.
The new rewards program could have and should been so much more. I miss the old days
I love this game and still holds its own against, and betters, many more 'modern' games made today. And that's doubly impressive when you think it was a WiiU launch title. I'll definitely be picking this up but I do hope TT have done something about those awful load times which hark back to the ZX Spectrum days.
Nope. I'm cutting my WiiU spending right back since Switch is pretty much around the corner. Not that there's anything worth buying on WiiU now anyway.
There maybe new offers but they're still utter rubbish. Discounting stuff WiiU and 3DS users already own and that have been out ages, (Mario 3D Land, Super Mrio World etc) is utterly pointless.
Well if they'd put some decent stuff in their catalogue that I don't already have or make those offer A LOT more earlier then I'd gladly use them. As it is, their catalogue is very poor.
I'd like to see a return of soundtrack and statues etc. that the old Club Nintendo had to offer - my points would be spent straight away then!
I'd really like them to so something about the file size of the app, at present its consuming a whopping 994MB of my iPhone's memory and with the incoming update I shudder to think just how much more memory I'll lose. Can't they make it a bit more memory friendly?
Its not like we're really missing much without EA, I mean all the really do is churn out yearly updates of Fifa, Madden etc and close down or destroy amazingly talented studios - Criterion, Bullfrog etc.
The day they fully support a Nintendo machine again is the day I'll eat my hat.
That looks like a tremendous pack! If I played Minecraft I'd have it in a heat beat. As it happens, I've never owned a copy of it nor played it before.
There's no way I'm paying £13 (or £10 for that matter) for a 6 year old game even if Super Meat Boy is new to Nintendo systems. That's an utter disgrace. I did think about giving it a look but only as long as the price was right, as it happens the price is very, very wrong.
Bloody hell man Namco. Port it to the WiiU already! I've recently come back from Japan and me and my brother had several goes on Mario Kart GP 2 and it was excellent, gives us that too. And if you're reading this Nintendo, give us the Luigi's Mansion arcade too - that was amazing as well!
Why do people continue to do pointless things like this? Are they that starved for attention? It drives me nuts. I think everyone knew this'd turn out to be fake from the minute it was 'announced'.
You could argue that Nintendo have been sloppy of late with all of these leaks of new game releases (which I'll admit is strange behaviour by them) but considering NX is still in the development phase there's no way they'd let details of anything slip out let alone a photo.
While I do agree that Nintendo do need EA on its platform to an extent, that's a very arrogant and bullish set of demands EA has - but lets face it, they're not totally unexpected either.
And pardon me for saying but I'll believe what EA says about an 'unprecedented relationship with Nintendo' and throwing their support behind it when I see it - and I'm not going to hold my breath for that, ever.
Its amazing to see him being recognised for what he's done to transform the games industry, how far his influence has been spread and just how much impact he's had on everybody - players and developers alike.
I can't help but think though that he should have been honoured far earlier for his services than this. Its a crying shame that he'll never be able to pick up this award in person like he should have and he'll never know just how much he means to all of us.
Get 50% off either 1080° Snowboarding or Wave Race 64 when you buy the other on the same Wii U system, a reduction to €4.99 - it'll therefore cost €14.98 to buy both.
Well since I already own Wave Race 64 on Wii's Virtual Console and have done the system transfer I'll qualify for WR at £1.49. Apply that offer to 1080 and I should have both games for a fiver? Count me in!
I really wish Nintendo would extend the same offers/discounts to those of us who've bought the game at retail, after all we've also supported and bought their title. It just seems unfair that we're never considered.

It should be but y'know, scalpers...
Re: Guns, Gore & Cannoli is Bringing Its Brand of Mayhem to Nintendo Switch
