@BlackenedHalo It could work like how the Dark Souls games do, where one player is summoned into the game of another player as a red spirit to fight the "owner" of that world. Except instead of a red spirit it would be an E.M.M.I. If no one shows up the game takes control of the E.M.M.I.

On this list I think Ikana Valley is the creepiest song.

@Pirate1 The original was intended to be played daily but the minigames became repetitive quickly.

Pikmin 2 is my favorite, so much content and the treasure hoard logs are fun to read. I didn't like Pikmin 3 that much but I still think it's better than 1 because of how glitch ridden it is. Hey! Pikmin was also really fun, really liked the level design in that one.

I just think the availability period for these items expired. I think everything was going to be removed on October 25th at 2 a.m. Eastern Time like it said on all of the item pages and they don't have new items yet.

Read up on it here, https://testflight.apple.com/

Pikmin Bloom might be a closed beta sort of deal, so you might not get to play it but it's worth looking into.

@Desrever The issue here is that he lied about what he was going to use the money for, he said it was to help his business but instead he spent it on a Pokemon card. Had he spent his own money on the card no one would care, but this money came from his fellow citizens.

Guess Nintendo would have rejected the final voice work for the male Chosen Undead in Dark Souls.

@oconnoclast I don't think they're hard to earn, they just accumulate slowly. If you have a smart device Super Mario Run and Animal Crossing Pocket Camp are the quickest way to get platinum points and you only need to play each game a few minutes a day.

I don't think this really fixes anything, like throwing a single cup of water on a burning building... Also there are thousands of streams, videos and merch where the original name is present, it's already immortalized.

@faint TL;DR Puerto Rico would lose some of its freedoms if it became a state, and for the people of Puerto Rico that might not be a worthwhile trade off just to vote for the President. Also, cooperation is needed to make Puerto Rico a state, meaning Puerto Rico would need to vote weather or not they want statehood, the U.S. can't just make them a state if they don't want to be one.

The U.S. doesn't treat Puerto Rico like a foreign country that is to be conquered, the U.S. already owns Puerto Rico and they're allowed to govern themselves, China doesn't own Taiwan. Taiwan broke off from China in a war and are independent now, China is salty about that and wants to regain control of them. Taiwan wants to remain independent and it doesn't want to rejoin with China so they're enemies.

The U.S. fought Spain in the Caribbean and took Puerto Rico in the process, the U.S. wanted to make Puerto Rico a state but the Popular Democratic party of Puerto Rico opposed U.S. assimilation around the 1930s and voted to refuse statehood and instead become an autonomous territory. They're owned by the U.S. but they have more freedoms of self governance, if they became a proper state they'd lose some of that self governance and would be subjected to federal U.S. law. If Puerto Rico wants to become a proper state, they need to vote on that themselves, then the U.S. would need to do the same. There are talks in the U.S. about making Puerto Rico a state but again, Puerto Rico needs to participate on that project so it's not like the U.S. is oppressing them.

@impurekind That part wasn't there when I initially responded and I was talking about light and color not how a computer processes color.

"I mean, black and white aren't even technically proper colours." Is the bit I was focusing on.

@faint What does Puerto Rico have to do with my post...? Also, Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory, not a state. Only states can vote in presidential elections. Whether or not it should be turned into a state is a whole other debate, and I don't know the arguments for and against it.

@impurekind Not true, in the light spectrum, black isn't a color because it is the absence of light, and white is all of the colors put together. It's why you see a myriad of colors when you shine white light through a prism or lens.

@Longondo With how censorious the CCP is, China will not become a creative power house. Can't even state simple, noncontroversial facts like how Taiwan is an independent country.

@Ventilator Yup, that's DRM and Anti-piracy in a nutshell. Nintendo is improving though, Switch isn't region locked like previous consoles. You can also update games if your friends have the newer version of game which will be useful in the future when/if the Switch eShop closes down and you want the bug fixes or newer features a physical game might lack.

Hopefully one day Nintendo and other companies will do away with strict DRM and Anti-piracy.

@Ventilator Oh yeah I do the same, I back up my 3DS SD card whenever I beat a game or if I make a good deal of progress in one just in case the SD card fails one day.

I do wish Nintendo wasn't so strict with digital ownership of games. I think things got better with the Switch though since games are tied to your account and you can put your account on multiple Switches. Doing what you said with the Xbox would be better since it would save time not having to download a lost game again.

@Ventilator 3DS games only work with the system they were downloaded on or transferred to (Via system transfer in the settings, not by copying content on a PC). I can't copy my games to my old 3DS, they won't show up on the home menu so the backups are useless if I don't have the original system. I have no idea about the Switch though.

@IronMan30 It's the last major free update, which means everything afterward will be paid DLC or very minor things like new clothing or furniture. It might as well be considered to be the final update since nothing substantial is coming in the future.

@Snatcher Once the update comes out it'll be more like New Leaf but there are still a few features missing from that game. If you liked New Leaf then you'll appreciate the quality of life improvements New Horizons added like bigger inventory and terraforming, it was one of the few things they got correct at launch.

@Ventilator Well I was speaking more generally when it comes to digital games, not just on Switch.

Nah, DRM games from Steam can stop working, Nier Automata had a problem with the Mac version where it required an online check with a server, the company that hosted that server shutdown and as a result Nier Automata for Mac became unplayable. I don't know if the problem was ever fixed though...

@Snatcher To me, it felt incomplete at launch, things are better now though but a lot of the things they have added were just from New Leaf. If you like life-sims you might like this.

@Ventilator When it comes to buying digital games that have DRM yeah, they're just licenses. If you buy games from GOG or Humble Bundle however, you can create backups of the game files or download them to multiple computers so even if they're servers shutdown one day, as long as I created and kept my backups, I'll forever have those games.

I pretty much buy physical every chance I get though when it comes to games, only buying digital when it's the only format a game I want is sold in.

@GregZPL81 I don't think so, and no doubt they added the price of this DLC into the subscription price, and I think getting the licenses from SEGA to use their games and system also boosted the price.

@ItsOKToBeOK It's like a rental DLC I suppose.

Didn't think I'd ever see or hear anyone call Kyle a himbo...

Also I think his house is fine, the only reason why I'd want to have a feature like this is to remove horribly placed clothing or fossils. They completely ruin rooms sometimes.

Gyroids and unbreakable tools.

Tools breaking is the worst addition to Animal Crossing, it does nothing but make you stop what you were doing to get another tool.

@Ryu_Niiyama I've never played Kingdom Hearts games but can't the Keyblade only be wielded by a select few people like how the Master Sword can only be wielded by Link?

Not mad with Sora but I really thought a Dark Souls rep was coming when the single dwindling flame was on screen.

@NoLife Are you talking about DLC characters? They're yours to play forever once you buy them or the corresponding Fighters Pass.

@hypercoyote Given how the E.M.M.I. are meant to collect DNA they're probably built with extreme durability in mind since they'd probably at one point need to extract DNA from large and powerful life forms with thick skin or shells.

I'd also think near the end of the game Samus will get strong enough to destroy the E.M.M.I. with ease.

@Anti-Matter Disagree, while I find it moronic to buy a single cookie at this price, if someone else is willing to buy it at said price they should be able to.

@Tasuki The Walmart I shop at still has a huge stack of them, surprised they aren't discounted yet to sell them.

Why'd Tangy get different eyes? Now she doesn't look like herself.

Some of my favorite games of all time were on the GameCube, this is definitely one of my favorite home consoles!

@MrGrim I just redeemed for this set now, it was also 500 platinum points.

@ThomasBW84 The video embedded here says it's unavailable for me, other users are talking about the same issue.

@chardir Huh, I assumed they used the same redemption system everywhere. The UK version sounds more convenient.

@Ks123 I've done it a few times now, I did it with the Pokemon Snap items and I saved some stuff for when I got the Mario 35th anniversary pins. So long as it's listed on the My Nintendo rewards page, the Nintendo store, the item hasn't been restocked on the My Nintendo rewards page and the code you're using isn't expired it should work. Be sure to check both the date for the the item's availability and the expiration date for the code, if either date passes your points will go to waste. Codes still work even after the item goes out of stock. It also might be safer if you redeem the code for the item and then you leave it in your cart.

As a side note, you can order an item you got in the past a second time after it is restocked since a new code is generated.

"The North American cover artwork for the first Mega Man game has become the stuff of legend."

It was always legendary!

@Yosher I have a phone case with a ring built in, really helps out for when I've only got one free hand to use and hold my phone with. It doubling as a kickstand is nice too.

@Gahdrii Different countries get different rewards. Sometimes those rewards become available in new countries after awhile, I suppose it depends on what Nintendo is trying to promote at the time.

@riChchestM Don't Pokemon cards have a MSRP? As long as you're paying at that or below it you aren't really being ripped off. Unless you're talking about buying individual rare cards...

I'd love if Nintendo had a store where they sold their old games on computers and smartphones. One thing that I hate about new console generations with Nintendo is that their old game collection is reset and they spend time releasing the same old games for the new system, never really digging deeper than their hit titles.

@Markiemania95 Once you redeem your points for the code, your item, in this case the key ring, will be locked in and won't be sent to anyone else, allowing you to order it when you're ready so long as you do so before the item's availability period and code's expiration date have not passed yet. Even if all the others codes have been claimed yours will still work.

SO basically if you want you can wait and see if the controllers come back in stock and order them along with other My Nintendo items for free shipping. I've done this multiple times just to save on shipping and it hasn't failed for me.

The freezing sound from Metroid Zero mission and the combat sounds from the Mario & Luigi RPGs are great. The sound you hear when picking up a mushroom in Animal Crossing: New Leaf is also nice.

$39.99 is a higher price than I expected this game to have, but I'm not in a rush to buy it so hopefully it'll be discounted by the time I'm ready to buy it.

Weird thing is I was just thinking about these demos Brawl had and wondering if they had the full games in them and then this article comes up.

For some reason it reminds me of Dillon from the Dillon's Rolling Western games.

Also Fire Steel is better typing for a gun Pokemon.

Voted for the North American one, the action shot is nice compared to the characters just standing there on the Japanese one.

@DK-Fan Terraforming was a welcome addition, DIYs on the other hand should be scrapped in the new game. Buying furniture is so much more convenient than scrounging up resources and then building things. I say it's bare bones because it has a severe lack of furniture and clothing. Previous entries had way more items to decorate with not to mention how dull the animals have become. I remember they used to comment on things near by in New Leaf, like when you stood near an animals house they would ask if you were going to visit the owner. Or how they noticed things like if you had plants in your home. Now they just talk about the walk they're on, all day every day. Tortimer Island also being absent means far less to do with friends online. Terraforming and the QoL improvements this game has are wonderful but I can't find any reason to revisit this game, there's nothing to do.
