So, it`s not just Nintendo we dislike, its colour too. Hahahahaha……. Yeah, we are known across the World for our dislike of colourful things........
Does get very boring with the same old comments on here each week about the UK and it`s dislike of Nintendo. I always really enjoy reading this article each week.
@TheGZeus A social contact is contacting a person by any means like the 3DS and saying hello. So that would be a contact you are being social with. The 3DS is still a form of communication even if it`s in a basic form.
@TheGZeus It does not say "Networking is sharing information ... so you can KEEP IN CONTACT" in any dictionary I have seen. It does say -[no object] (often as noun networking) interact with others to exchange information and develop professional or social contacts.
There is no mention of getting in touch in the future. It`s as simple as sharing information and that may mean gaining a contact.
So, interaction with others is passing someone in the street with your 3DS and exchanging data, by doing so gaining a virtual social contact that you can say hello too and race against in a game like Mario Kart.
Yes, words do mean something and by definition of the dictionary. As I said before they are not my words.
@PinkSpider
Do like a new Mii hat. I got myself a cool Zelda costume the other day for my Mii. Anyone else got any unsual costumes? I have never come across that many.
No, you dont` have to speak to someone face to face to nextwork and share information and you don`t have to have a conversation with that person for it to be defined as networking. Networking is sharing information, no matter what information is shared or by what means. So, saying hello is social and you agree with that, yes? So, do you not agree that the definition of networking is sharing information by any means?
One thing we do agree with is streetpass is great and is fun.
@FutureAlphaMale That`s right a ball or a bike could be used as a tool for social networking.
1. You don`t have to know a person to share information. 2. It`s still a communication regardless of the content. 3. You may have mentioned the first ever type of social networking. A message in a bottle to share and communicate information to someone else.
Networking is about sharing infomation regardless of the type of information shared and how it`s shared. Don`t take my word for it look it up in the English dictionary.
It fits streetpass because
1. Streetpass allows personal information and game content to be collected and shared.
2. Streetpass in a Community with common interests ie playing mario kart or puzzle swap. So I can share puzzle pieces or gain ghost data that I can race against.
3. Streetpass is a online service created by Nintendo to facilitates these types of communication.
"Strong social networks can encourage healthy behaviours" - Could be making money as an example
@TheGZeus What is social networking? 1. A network of friends, colleagues, and other personal contacts: Strong social networks can encourage healthy behaviors. 2. An online community of people with a common interest who use a Web site or other technologies to communicate with each other and share information, resources, etc.: a business-oriented social network. 3. A web site or online service that facilitates this communication.
So streetpass is still a social network and by going out and actually being social that makes streetpass the most social of social networks. Would you not agree?
@PinkSpider Second-hand mario games hold a lot of value here. As Wii U sales increase with the release of titles like Mario Kart 8, so will the sales for Super Mario 3D World.
@PinkSpider Yep, I expect to see this in the top 40 for the next 2 years. If it does dip, I`m sure it will bouce right back in. Just look at mario kart
@Boukman
As this is a UK based website, I would hope we would see articles on the UK charts. I like to see whats selling Nintendo wise in the British charts, as I do in all countries.
Wouldn`t even give that to my dog... Are GAME giving them away with every Vita sold this christmas? I need a new door stop and the can would be nice too!
Seeing the review and screen shots bought back some wicked memories. I won`t be getting this as I played it to death but would recommend this to anyone.
Missed this review last week for some reason. Just read it the review and expected nothing less tha a 9/10 based on the demo. The review mentions nothing about spotpass/streetpass and/or abilinks/friends feature. Like the demo is this still part of the game?
I have a love/hate relationship with FIFA 14 but it`s still the reason why everyone has purchased a new gen console in the UK. I really believe Mario Kart 8 will be the hit that shifts Wii U units here in the UK.
Out of all the classic games out there, SPACE HARRIER is one that`s perfect for a 3D remake. Really good to read what`s involved in a project like this.
THIS IS A REAL GEM OF A GAME. Have to disagree with the review score with this one Nintendolife. Yeah, it`s not the most orginal of platform games but that`s why I liked it. I feel this takes what is good from classic platforms like Alex the Kid, Wonderboy, Sonic, Megaman, Mario and Donkey Kong. The 3D levels are at first are a bit slow on the take up with some pointless free roaming. However, they do provide a welcome change of pace from the other and more intense one`s and do get better the further you go in the game. The 2D levels are fantastic with spot on controls and they offer a fun, yet challenging experience. This is miles better for the price of something like Sonic Lost World, which I was really disappointed with. One more thing to mention is the Cloud Assault level. Wow, I would like to see a spin off game with all levels like this. JETT ROCKET III - CLOUD ASSAULT?
Streetpass weapons please to include: sword, chainsaw, baseball bat, spear and pitch fork. Is that a fishing rod I can see in one of the screen shots? I do love a fishing mini game
