You're welcome.

Pretty excited to see what this is. I love me some Kirby games.

There's this interesting picture as well that could tie in to the announcement.

Translating the tweet reads:

“Er …. I am testing the camera now. #Kirby’s 25th birthday”

Interesting...

Oh yeah, and its not just the Kirby Twitter page, its the special Kirby 25th Aniversary Twitter page.

Here's to Kirby and his 25 years of greatness!

@giwayume "Technical issues" will probably be the cause of the Wii U version's cancellation, just like Yooka-Laylee.

@Browny That might explain things. My team was mid-high 40's with a level 51 Alolan Raichu.

@Browny Huh, that's interesting. What were their levels by the end?

@Browny You really never had trouble with the game? What was your ending team.

I honestly found it to be pretty difficult, especially versus the champion. I loved the game all in all.

But hey, different coats for different folks or however that saying goes.

Isn't this game not currently coming to any Nintendo platform? Yeah, technically it's still in production for Wii U, but let's be honest here, it's not coming to the Wii U.

@Browny I'm guessing you never made it past the second island?

@khaosklub I would love some FE costumes- an Ike costume in particular would be amazing.

While I'm at it, where's our Yarn Poochy costumes? I want to dress like Yarn Poochy in different colors (the colors of my profile pic in particular would be great).

@Browny Huh. Birthright was actually my first Fire Emblem game, so I guess I don't have the perspective of playing the previous ones. ¯\(ツ)/¯

Now how did Pokémon disappoint?

@Tasuki Yeah, I gave them my money to make a "gem" and they didn't, so I'm disappointed.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE Agreed. I had the luck to have the first two (and only two) games I have ever backed by this game and Mighty No. 9.

Its safe to say I'm probably not going to be a backer again for a long time.

This is really cherry-picking from all of the images found together. My guess is that it's for Miitomo wallpaper.

@Browny Why did you think Fates was awful? I thought it was quite good.

Plot twist: It was originally coming to the Wii U, but was canceled for the Switch.

In all seriousness though, this is good news.

@PlywoodStick Okay then. You and me must have different standards.

Playtonic promised this on their Kickstarter page.

"If our initial Kickstarter funding goal is reached, backers can be assured that the Playtonic team will deliver a complete and satisfying game package. However, given the opportunity and additional resources required, we have a list of ‘dream’ additional extras – and release structures - that we’d love to deliver in order to make Yooka-Laylee an even better game.

If funded, Yooka-Laylee will be released for Windows, Mac, Linux, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Wii U. However, the exact release timing and scope of each version will be determined by the success of this Kickstarter campaign and specifically, our stretch goals."

Not being able to play the game on the Wii U, to me, is not a "satisfying game package". Thus, Playtonic broke their own promise and I have every right to be angry at them.

@AlexOlney Oops. I completely misread your comment. Don't mind me...

@Tasuki @PlywoodStick I gave Playtonic money for a product- a digital code for the game Yooka-Laylee on Wii U. Now I won't gwt that.

Let's say you bought a vacuum cleaner from Amazon, a specialized one that can do things very few other vaccum cleaners can. Now let's say that they send you a version that only works in New Zealand and the version you ordered, the one that works in the US, has been discontinued without telling you.

You'd be angry, wouldn't you? Yeah, could return it and get a full refund, but that doesn't really soften the blow. That's how I feel.

@Lewieboy124 Wow. Just wow.

@Tasuki I put $15 towards this game with the promise of getting a Wii U version of Yooka-Laylee. That promise was broken and I have every right to be angry.

Sure.

If Zelda's still coming to the Wii U, then I don't see what "issues" could be big enough to cancel the most-wanted version of Yooka-Laylee.

Is there anyway to get a refund from them?

@PotatoTheGreat All the "understanding" people would be hateful about it and swear to never buy another Nintendo product.

But no, this is an indie developer, and they can do no wrong.

Isn't it like a stream for the event in Japan. If so, it would make sense why its at that time.

@BLP_Software But I have no faith in crowdfunding because games aren't being made/made shoddily. Its a paradox put in place by liers.

Oh look, now that doesn't matter.

Thanks Playtonic.

Not cool, Playtonic.

After Mighty No. 9 and now I'm his, I don't think I'll be investing into Kickstarter again anytime soon.

So... just like every time a new a new console is released? Gotcha.

So all 8 babies are reported to have been added? That's cool, pun not intended.

Some people (not necessarily here) need to chill out... -_-

Anyway, some people need to calm down, the other will be added in due time. This is good. Alas, anything Pokémon GO will always be followed by a flurry... I swear I'm doing this on accident.

Ahem, will always be followed by a shower of hate.

That Pikachu's pretty nice too. Hope we get another x2 rewards event next week or something.

EDIT: Yep. The hailstorm's (okay, I meant this one this time) is upon us. All the gen II baby's confirmed!

What can be said about 2016 that hasn't been said before? In terms of Nintendo and in general, it was quite the wild ride.

But, for Nintendo, 2016 was the year of build-up for the next few years.

Look at what's coming up. The Switch, Breath of the Wild, Super Nintendo World, Janurary 12th, Pokémon GO Gen II, possible anime, movie deals, and much, much more.

Now, more than ever, is the best time to be a Nintendo fan.

I wonder what place Sun & Moon would place if they were combined.

"RF:HF was born from research I was doing into raymarching fractal structures on the Wii U's GPU. I found that very complex fractals could be rendered in real time at decent speeds. Using spacial folding techniques the basic fractal structures could be morphed into a number of interesting symmetrical animated forms."

What in the world does that mean?

Missed opportunity to call it Nintendo Land though.

Simply amazing.

I love that 3D World-inspired diorama in the top right.

They better have something Poochy in Super Nintendo World.

@hieveryone Ha, I wish.

Some people just won't let anything positive happen in this world.

That's great! Let the Christmas spirit consume all, and all have Merry Christmas!

Of course, there's going the be a cynical comment about them gifting him a Wii U.

I swear there's been a Talking Point about this before.

But can Miyamoto make a 5-course dinner while playing Super Mario Run? Preferably at my house?

@Zanark Because people have learn to check, double check, and then check again ad infinitum for a deeper meaning within these tweets.

@SanderEvers I wonder what the meaning behind "Awesome" is on the Pokémon Generations post.

To anyone thing this is just a coincidence, let me tell you it's not.

These guys have sent players on real-life wild goose chases to figure out how to unlock characters.

Looks nice, but the background just annoys me. That purple background just makes the entire thing look [i]really[i] small. Probably won't get it.

@James_mussell98 Of course not. There's still Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World, Pikmin 3DS, Mario Sports Superstars, Tank Troopers, The Boxboy Collection, Ever Oasis, and a myriad of third-party and indie releases.

@Handy_Man That was the Pirate's Curse.

:/ The concept sounds like a cool one- I mean, who wouldn't want a 3D-Printed Toys to Life game.

But the game itself... It looks a N64 game with a blur filter and just looks shallow gameplay-wise.

@ottospooky There probably won't be purple or black coins then I'd guess.

I never got the appeal of Monster Hunter, but this seems to me to be Monster Hunter Generations + Super Saiyn Cats.

@rjejr "while also embodying the idea of being a 'switch' that will flip, and change the way people experience entertainment in their daily lives."

I think you're misunderstanding that line. Its saying that the Switch name represents the idea that the Switch hybrid will change how people experience entertainment.

@rjejr I was never talking about the name, I was talking about the philosophy behind the Switch.

This just kind of screams "Generic JRPG" to me.

#WeWantMiitopia

I give this week a:

Going to get Shadow Dragon for sure!

Wow. Are here I though Excitebike was a one-off ala Ice Climber.

Nintendo finally got a marketing team it looks like. Maybe the Switch will indeed be a "Switch" for Nintendo.

In about a minute or two of play-time, Nintendo was able to answer and deflect a surprising amount of criticism.

Also, is it me, or the triggers look like analog one? That's a whole 'nother rabbit while to slide down.

And because I obviously haven't posted in this section enough already, I'll leave behind this Super Mario Run trailer.
