Re: Reminder: The Current-Gen Mew Special Distribution is Underway

The_BAAD_Man

I'll hopefully be getting one code from a friend of mine who lives in the UK. GAME stopped trading in Ireland a few years ago so I have no way of obtaining the in-store events :-/ The only exception was last year when Smyth's ran the shiny Rayquaza event. Why they can't deal with all these events here is beyond me!

Re: Nintendo Profits Dip as amiibo Hits Over 40 Million Sales in Nine Months

The_BAAD_Man

Interesting, mixed results. I'm surprised at the drop in 3DS software sales. There are a lot of big releases scheduled for 3DS this year so I wonder how things will look by the next report?

Also, I really like Amiibo. I treat them as a collectible figure as opposed to anything else, but when I get an Amiibo reader for my standard 3DS I might open my Fire Emblem characters for use with Codename S.T.E.A.M and FE: Fates.

I'll get Bayonetta for Smash on both platforms. Paying the extra €1 is a no brainer when already willing to pay for her in the first place. Smash Bros. really has cost an absolute fortune in the end though. Oh well!

As for Super Mario Galaxy, I feel that the Wii v-console titles are way too pricey. This is why I keep my consoles and all games!

Re: Macronix Will Be Providing Memory Products for the NX

The_BAAD_Man

I've been thinking for a long time now that the NX would combine portable and console play. If two separate devices are launched with linked functionality or full use as stand-alone devices, then that sounds really good!

I really hope Nintendo decides on a more "traditional" E3 conference. The NX is causing ripples and should be revealed in a big way, I feel!

Re: Hardware Classics: Sega Game Gear

The_BAAD_Man

I used to play my friend's Game Gear. We would sit in his house or mine and I would let him play my Game Boy while I had a "shot" on his GG. Mortal Kombat and Sonic were great fun. I'd certainly like to get one with a power-supply and a modded screen!

Re: Slain! Wii U Release Date Has Been Delayed to Summer

The_BAAD_Man

Looks good! I don't mind very difficult games but one thing that does irk me is too many cheap deaths in a game. If that is one of the issues then it will only end up being a better experience.

I'd never heard of this until now but I'll definitely consider getting it!

Re: Nintendo Further Explains Fire Emblem Fates Localisation, With Same-Sex Marriages In Each Version

The_BAAD_Man

This whole thing is odd. I'm glad that the same-sex marriages are still possible as it is a nice nod to our more socially-accepting world today (despite all of the horrible things which still happen on a daily basis, but let's not go there).

Personally, I'd prefer if all characters could attain an S rank with each other, regardless of sexual orientation. On the battlefield, what if you just REALLY enjoyed battling alongside your best friend? Surely that would be the equivalent to an S class relationship

Re: Editorial: Nintendo and Virtual Reality Aren't a Good Fit in 2016

The_BAAD_Man

As a person who needs glasses, VR headsets don't appeal to me. I wouldn't be able to enjoy it without the aid of my glasses and the headset wouldn't fit comfortably on top of them...so that's my reason for not really being excited!

If Nintendo were to dip into VR again, I think it would becloser to the end of this decade.
