@rockodoodle The sequel is better than the first game, getting 100% completion is really hard to do in both games. I own the third but haven't played it.
I like the NES: Samus Aran one, Samus is animated on the bottom screen, she shoots and runs!
The others I like that I own are the Mario Hanafuda, Zelda 30th Anniversary, Zelda: Gold Edition, The seasonal and holiday Animal Crossing themes, Famicom Memories and the regular Hanafuda theme. The rarest theme I own is the Retro City Rampage Humble Bundle theme.
@Angelic_Lapras_King This is why I find the closure to be kinda dumb, the entire eShop will still exist but for whatever reason you can't buy new games. I could see Nintendo not wanting new games being published there anymore so they don't have to monitor it all but the rest just seems odd to me.
@Whalehome I too have most of the games I want, but I've still got a bunch on my wish list and I'm holding out until close to closure just on the chance there'll be a sale.
One of the main components of metroidvania is platforming, this looks like it doesn't have any because the protagonist swims everywhere. Still looks like a cool game however.
@MH4 It's a horror game. It plays similar to Resident Evil 4 so if you like that game you'll like Dead Space and Dead Space 2. If you got a modern PC (doesn't have to be a gaming PC) you should be able to run the first game without performance issues because it's an older game.
@sixrings It's an online event so probably not. You can set up rooms for friends for online however, just press right on the D-Pad and a "with friends" bubble will appear on the mode selection.
@JimNorman As others have pointed out, that's a picture of the boss of the Forest Temple in Ocarina of Time, although that's still a spooky place with its music and ghosts.
@NotSBlurgo I actually agree with @thesilverbrick the game is getting stale with no new content, we need new weapons and stages. Hopefully November will bring new content.
@Linker2A03 I'm guessing the artist was told to draw a "futuristic" design, so the huge planets probably represent advancements in space travel. That or the solar system shrunk.
@KayFiOS There were certain instructions to follow to be unblocked, it was different from what was on the Kickstarter survey and it had a short time frame to be submitted it's why many didn't get unblocked. It's been so long so I forgot what they were.
@Sequel You can still get the cap, it appears randomly inside the capsules you get, I have no idea how rare it is though but I've gotten 2 (I think) so far. Only problem is they only seem to have 1 to 2 ability slots, so you'd have to upgrade it to get a third.

Re: Video: Splatoon 3's Inkopolis Side-By-Side Graphics Comparison (Switch & Wii U)
@BoyfriendOfDeath Probably wasn't shown but they might still do it.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel: Golden Sun
North American/European wins for me, it being centered and the blade overlaying the GBA logo looks neat.
Re: Pikmin Bloom Sprouts Clover Decor In Upcoming St. Patrick's Day Event
That's a lot of missions, never knew they go on for that long...
Re: 3DS Tactical Adventure 'Fragrant Story' Releasing Free DLC Expansion Before eShop Closure
@garfreek It looks like an alpha or early access game on Steam, and with the closure coming it'll never be finished on 3DS. It's a shame really.

Re: 3DS Tactical Adventure 'Fragrant Story' Releasing Free DLC Expansion Before eShop Closure
We're so close to the closure I wonder if most publisher's will do one final "Farewell" sale.
Re: Random: Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Gummies Will Let You Eat Chuchus
@AstroTheGamosian Slime molds are the closest thing to a living slime creature. No idea if you can raise them or if that's a good idea.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel: Metroid Fusion
North America has a better pose for Samus but the Japanese one has a better background, I voted for the NA one since Samus is the focus.
Re: Best Metroid Games Of All Time
@Rich_Uncle_Skeleton Yeah it's redundant when they have the individual games on the list.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - Metroid Prime Remastered
The European and North American one is more atmospheric. Samus taking in her environment looks better than her just in a void.
Re: Feature: Zelda Companions, Ranked - Who Was Link's Best Sidekick?
I like Linebeck and Midna best. Kinda disappointed Linebeck isn't in at least second place on the poll.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Killer7
North America has a neat way to display the characters, the others are lame by comparison.
Re: Pronty, A Metroidvania With Echoes Of BioShock, Swims Onto Switch This March
One of the main components of metroidvania is platforming, this looks like it doesn't have any because the protagonist swims everywhere. Still looks like a cool game however.
Re: Random: These Upcoming 'Mario-Themed' Pizzas Are Little To Do With Nintendo's Prize Plumber
"Wario's Ham and Pineapple?" Nah man, a proper Wario pizza would have a garlic bread crust.
I would like to see a Super Mario themed pizza at one of the new Nintendo theme parks.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Viewtiful Joe
Voted for the North American one, but the Japanese cover is a close second.
Re: Splatoon 3's Next Splatfest Is On The Way, Which Team Will You Pick?
None of these are a bad choice for me, but milk chocolate is the best.
Re: Dead Space's Isaac Clarke Blasts Into Fortnite
@MH4 It's a horror game. It plays similar to Resident Evil 4 so if you like that game you'll like Dead Space and Dead Space 2. If you got a modern PC (doesn't have to be a gaming PC) you should be able to run the first game without performance issues because it's an older game.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel: Panic Bomber (Virtual Boy)
They're kinda the same, the U.S. cover just seems like a zoomed in version of the Japanese cover with some of the characters moved around.
Re: Epic Games Might Be Bringing A Free-To-Play "Brawler Royale" To Switch
It's going to be littered with micro transactions so I don't care for it.
Re: Random: These AI Images Of The Super Mario Bros. Movie Cast Are Terrifying
@MsJubilee They're probably giving it attention because it's a trendy topic, (gotta have them clicks!) but like with NFTs I'm sure it'll fade away.
Re: Random: These AI Images Of The Super Mario Bros. Movie Cast Are Terrifying
It looks like someone smeared some poo on Jack Black's head.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Prince Of Persia
This isn't even a fair competition. Japan by a long shot.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes
Both of these are bad, but at least the North American one isn't over saturated.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - Mario Kart: Super Circuit
The text covering Mario and his kart kinda ruin the Japanese one so I voted for the North American one.
Re: PSA: Splatoon 3's First Big Run Event Kicks Off Today (North America)
@sixrings It's an online event so probably not. You can set up rooms for friends for online however, just press right on the D-Pad and a "with friends" bubble will appear on the mode selection.
Re: Nintendo's Official Magazine For Winter 2022 Gets English Digital Release
Kinda disappointed they only translated portions of the magazine, I was hoping for the full thing.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Castlevania: Bloodlines
Japan and North America are nearly tied for me, but I voted for the Japanese art.
Re: Site News: Got A Moment? Would You Kindly Fill Out Our Reader Survey?
I don't see the survey link, I even tried looking with a different web browser. Can someone please paste the link in the comments?
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Sonic CD
North America looks the best to me. The others aren't bad however.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - Silent Hill: Shattered Memories
Japanese box art looks better, the darker lighting fits the horror genre better.
Re: Feature: The Spookiest Levels In Non-Spooky Games
@JimNorman As others have pointed out, that's a picture of the boss of the Forest Temple in Ocarina of Time, although that's still a spooky place with its music and ghosts.
Re: Splatoon 3 Version 1.2.0 Announced, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
@NotSBlurgo I actually agree with @thesilverbrick the game is getting stale with no new content, we need new weapons and stages. Hopefully November will bring new content.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - Timesplitters 2
Voted for Europe, it has a very 2000s vibe to it.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Mega Man 4
@Linker2A03 I'm guessing the artist was told to draw a "futuristic" design, so the huge planets probably represent advancements in space travel. That or the solar system shrunk.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Mega Man 4
Japan wins by a long shot, it's just so much better than the other two.
Re: Bellibolt The Electric Frog Is The Newest Addition To Pokémon Scarlet And Violet
...It looks like a Fisher Price toy...
Re: New Bayonetta 3 Trailer Reveals 2D Infiltration Gameplay
I wonder if Luka's First and Second Mission DLCs for The Wonderful 101 Remastered will play similarly to the 2D segments briefly shown here.
I thought the short haired woman was wearing Serious Sam's bomb tee for a moment.
Re: The Real-Life Splatoon X Pokémon T-Shirts Are Also Coming To Nintendo Australia
These are really lame...
Re: Random: Hideki Kamiya Echoes Every Nintendo Fan's Wishes For The Switch Successor
@KayFiOS There were certain instructions to follow to be unblocked, it was different from what was on the Kickstarter survey and it had a short time frame to be submitted it's why many didn't get unblocked. It's been so long so I forgot what they were.

@WreckitRyan Some of the QR codes have been also posted here, so you can bookmark this page and check it from time to time.

Re: Random: Great Scott! These Splatoon 3 Rewards Sure Look Familiar
@Sequel You can still get the cap, it appears randomly inside the capsules you get, I have no idea how rare it is though but I've gotten 2 (I think) so far. Only problem is they only seem to have 1 to 2 ability slots, so you'd have to upgrade it to get a third.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D
Voted for Japan for showing more characters, it gives you a better idea of what the game offers in terms of choices. I also think the art is better.
Re: Surprise! Nintendo Has Launched Two New Social Media Accounts
I'm surprised they didn't have a Spanish speaking account before.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life
Voting for NA/Europe for not being so cramped.
Re: 3DS System Update 11.16.0-49 Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes
Nintendo delivers again! This update was what everyone was waiting for!
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel - Mega Man X
Voted for Japan, I like how more characters are represented.
Re: Random: This Splatoon 3 Smallfry Toy Has Stolen Our Squid Kid Hearts
@Dev9417 Or you can put him on a key chain or like a charm.
