I remember first hearing that Nintendo's handheld and console game development divisions would be fusing into one and thinking, wow that means the Switch will have twice the amount of Nintendo games released! Boy was that a silly thought.
Was really looking forward to this on the Switch but I am so thankful for the open beta because this has confirmed I will be buying the Xbox One version instead. Playing with the joycons felt awful. I hear you can use a Gamecube controller to get access to analog triggers, but if I am going to have to dock it to play with proper controls anyway, I will just use an Xbox controller. Plus the 60fps and graphics.
They look exactly the same to me. I don't get why everyone is making such a big deal about this. We have already been given a female Link and her name is Linkle.
I also like the idea of the F.L.U.D.D. weapon and Isle Delfino integrated into Splatoon with the inclusion of a new game mode where one team lays down ink and the other team has to clean it up.
Here's what I would like (somewhat expect) to see: +Mario Golf World Tour- Wii U (I believe this is why they have left golf out of the new M&S Olympics game for Wii U) +Super Mario Maker- Story Mode and Amiibo Support Details +Star Fox (gamepad accessory bundled with game that allows you to dock the gamepad onto it and use it as a yoke for steering) +Preview of a new Zelda title for 3DS using the existing Link Between World engine +Splatoon for NEW 3DS (with functions that work between WII U and 3DS) +New Club Nintendo name and membership program details. Subscription Service?
and some Pipe Dreams: +Lego Nintendo World! (sandbox style game where you can do anything) +Amiibo Land game using all Amiibo as playable characters +Dr. Mario Miracle Cure for IOS ( I know they stated IOS games won't be revealed at E3, but this one has to be one of the firsts when they do)
I was six years old then and I would have died to be there. Anyone think about how this is going into tie into the news that Universal Studios is going to have Nintendo attractions?
@shani Because the whole framework is there. Why wouldn't the developers create their own levels using the existing development tools already in the game? It wouldn't make sense to just throw you into the game without any levels to play from the start.
No doubt that a new Super Mario Bros. game will be bundled into Mario Maker. I would bet that you will need to advance through the main game to unlock features for the editor.
I cannot wait to see what else Nintendo has up their sleeve.
Going to get DKCTF. Been wanting to play this. Although, all of the money I save getting the game for free will be spent buying a new external hard drive. The file size for DKC is nuts.
This is so lame. I have a couple hundred coins worth of codes and am unable to complete these surveys. Guess I will have to keep checkin in until 12AM. Arrrrggghh.
The Wii U is such a strange/unique console and I love it. I just got the MarioKart bundle last year and look forward to years to come of new games. Not to mention all of the back catalog I have yet to play.
This will only strengthen their brand image. Most of my friends who are 30 somethings grew up loving Nintendo just like I do. Although, most of them will not go out and spend $200-$300 to play a Nintendo IP. But they all carry around iPhones and would love to play some Mario or Zelda games on it. This is a huge nostalgia market Nintendo has been missing out on. I'm excited for what is to come!
It would be great to see some retro Mario style Amiibo for Mario Maker. Is Amiibo plural? Is it Amiibos? Amiibi? Amiibosen? Anyway, a Super Mario World SNES style Mario Amiibo would be rad.
Been looking forward to playing Olli Olli on my 3DS. Bonus I can also play on Wii U. There is a serious lack of skateboarding games nowadays and I hear this one is actually pretty good. Come on indie devs, let's get a T&C Surf Design remake going!!!

Mario Golf for Switch please. That is all.
Re: Ubisoft's Big E3 2018 Keynote Will Be Heading To LA On 11th June
Remember how we were supposed to get Steep for Switch. Perhaps this is the year. With a Super Mario costumes pack of course.

Only a two hour drive from me, yet I have never been. Going to make this happen this Spring!
Re: Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash Details Revealed, Including amiibo Support and Rosalina
Amiibo support looks good. Just wish this was a Mario Golf game instead. Maybe it's coming?

Re: Weirdness: Fred Savage Seems Very Much In Favour Of The Nintendo World Championships 2015
If Jenny Lewis plays a concert there I will buy a ticket and fly there immediately.

Re: Kung Fu Panda: Showdown of Legendary Legends Is Brawling Its Way To Wii U And 3DS
Guess this is why there is that Kung Fu Panda reference in Ribbon Road on the new MK DLC.
Re: Poll: With Races Won and Cups Collected, How Do You Rate Mario Kart 8's DLC Pack 2?
200cc has made me replay and relearn the entire game again. Amazing DLC.
Re: Weirdness: Shigeru Miyamoto Takes on a Shinya Arino Level in Mario Maker, and It's Awesome
That 8-Bit Mario at the beginning of the gameplay in the second video is most definitely an Amiibo!
Re: Official GameCube Controller Adapter for Wii U Available Again on Amazon in the US
Finally got mine at Gamestop a few days ago for $19.99. I saw they had about 10 of them in a drawer.
Re: A Splash of New Details Emerge on Splatoon's Development and Inspiration
@AcridSkull Exactly
Re: A Splash of New Details Emerge on Splatoon's Development and Inspiration
Really looking forward to this game. If you want to voice chat, just call your friend and put it on speaker while you play. It's as simple as that.
Re: Poll: Which Characters Do You Want to Win the Smash Bros. Fighter Ballot?
Toad or Waluigi
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Turns to Classics, DLC and amiibo to Keep Fans Hooked
I really expected some information about Nintendo's new rewards/ membership program which will replace Club Nintendo. (If there will be one at all)
Re: Nintendo Reveals the Final Club Nintendo Elite Rewards
Going to get DKCTF. Been wanting to play this. Although, all of the money I save getting the game for free will be spent buying a new external hard drive. The file size for DKC is nuts.
Re: Reminder: This is Your Last Day to Register Products on Club Nintendo
ELITE STATUS AWARDS ARE UP ON CLUB NINTENDO RIGHT NOW!
Re: Reminder: This is Your Last Day to Register Products on Club Nintendo
This feels like Majoras Mask. The ominous deadline of CN shutting down is coming and I am scrambling to enter these codes on it's horrible website.
Re: Reminder: This is Your Last Day to Register Products on Club Nintendo
This is so lame. I have a couple hundred coins worth of codes and am unable to complete these surveys. Guess I will have to keep checkin in until 12AM. Arrrrggghh.
Re: Reminder: This is Your Last Day to Register Products on Club Nintendo
Chugging along here in NA, but it is working.
Re: Reminder: This is Your Last Day to Register Products on Club Nintendo
Registering a bunch of codes now and the site just went down.

Re: Xeodrifter Currently Being Prepared for European Release
Just finished it. It's a great little game, but could definitely use a bit more content.
Re: Nintendo Download: 19th March (North America)
Elliot quest looks like fun, but I'm gonna grab Xeodrifter while it's on sale.
Re: Nintendo to Lead Design and Development of Smart Device Games, But Shigeru Miyamoto's Priority Remains the Wii U
The Wii U is such a strange/unique console and I love it. I just got the MarioKart bundle last year and look forward to years to come of new games. Not to mention all of the back catalog I have yet to play.

Re: Review: OlliOlli (3DS eShop)
Great game, I am addicted. Although, the daily grind contests on my 3ds are failing to load correctly. Has anyone else had this issue?
Re: Poll: Which 2015 Nintendo Blockbusters Should Have amiibo Support?
It would be great to see some retro Mario style Amiibo for Mario Maker. Is Amiibo plural? Is it Amiibos? Amiibi? Amiibosen? Anyway, a Super Mario World SNES style Mario Amiibo would be rad.

Re: Iwata Doesn't Feel amiibo Has Shown Its Full Potential Yet
Is a Legend of Zelda Wii U line of Amiibo a possibility? I wouldn't be surprised.
Re: Club Nintendo to Close, With Replacement Loyalty Programme Coming Later in the Year
@rushiosan Haha. 18 of them. No way! I just meant one. The Card Cases hold 18 3DS games.
Re: Club Nintendo to Close, With Replacement Loyalty Programme Coming Later in the Year
Sad news. I hope to get 80 more coins so I can grab one more 18 x 3DS Case.
