Adding Paypal as a payment option was huge for me (and my wallet). It is so much easier to buy a game now, rather than buying those stupid eshop cards.
I had a preorder at amazon.de, but the price stayed above €100 and it's just not worth it to me, so I canceled it. Maybe I''ll get one sometime in the future, I dunno.
Gotta give some props to Microsoft not blaming it on their competitor's console, which would have been fairly easy and perhaps even advantageous for them to do.
@BLP_Software I can't even remember my own friendcode, let alone someone else's. It's so much easier to remember a user id. I can't believe Nintendo is still stuck in the past like this, especially after acting like they changed for the better.
@BLP_Software Yeah, now if only they had the option to add people by username. The other options don't cut it for me and friendcodes are so annoying, hard to believe they're actually going back to it.
@Jeronan Well, they could just say the truth and explain it was way more popular than they ever expected (explaining the load on the servers and why steps aren't working etc.). Can't fault them for that, this thing is yuge.
@Jeronan That's great and all, but why can't Niantic just say that instead of essentially lying and saying it was confusing. It wasn't confusing, it just stopped working.They're just dancing around the issues, not addressing them.

Re: Nintendo Opens Super Mario Odyssey Photo Contest, But There's A Catch
I totally thought the catch was gonna be 'UK only'.

Re: Guide: How to Download Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp Early on iOS and Android
"You'll be asked for payment information, but because you tried to download a free app 'None' should be highlighted automatically."
I can sadly only choose between a credit card and paypal, there is no 'none' option.
Edit: I derped there, I tried to use an Aus. account I made on PC.
Re: Review: Picross S (Switch eShop)
Just finished the last puzzle today, bring on the next Picross installment please.
Re: Poll: A Retro Quest - Were You Able to Buy a Super NES Classic Edition / SNES Mini?
I had a preorder at amazon.de, but the price stayed above €100 and it's just not worth it to me, so I canceled it. Maybe I''ll get one sometime in the future, I dunno.
Re: Nintendo Download: 28th September (Europe)
Gonna wait for reviews on Golf Story and Pankapu, but immediately bought Picross S.
Re: Review: PAN-PAN (Switch eShop)
@pigeon For me 1 hour 40 minutes
@zingo I'd say the score is spot on, but you have to make the decision if the price is worth it for you considering how short it is.
Re: Review: PAN-PAN (Switch eShop)
Fun and cute, but oh so short. Wish it had more content.
Re: Nintendo Download: 21st September (Europe)
I still don't understand why the European eShop update comes after the US one (and I dislike so much that they moved it from monday to thursday).
Re: Review: Thimbleweed Park (Switch eShop)
Aww, the European pricing on this is actually €19,99, not €14,99 like it says on NintendoLife.
Re: Review: Kingdom: New Lands (Switch eShop)
So, are there any plans to stop putting a score at the end of reviews? Because this number really does not correspond with what I just read.
Re: PAN-PAN Is Bringing A Tiny Big Adventure To Switch eShop Today
Looks cute. Yeah, I'll probably buy it.
Re: Review: Slime-san (Switch eShop)
Nice, getting this game as soon as I can.
Re: Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Will Make Its Case on 3DS in November
Thanks Capcom!
Re: Feature: Just How Hard Is It To Buy A Nintendo Switch In Japan?
Wow, that is an enormous wasted opportunity by Nintendo. I expected them to drop a whole load of Switches on Splatoon 2 release in Japan.
Re: 2064: Read Only Memories Bringing Mature Adventure Fun To Switch eShop Next Year
Oh, looks pretty sweet.
Re: Random: Xbox Wishes Nintendo Well for E3 2017, "Hope you all SMASH it"
Microsoft seems like it's having fun, I like it.
Re: Sony Thinks You'll Buy A PlayStation 4 Alongside Your Nintendo Switch
Mmm, no thanks.
Re: Get Ready for a Pokémon Direct on 6th June
Magikarp Jump for the Nintendo Switch.
Re: Nintendo Download: 1st June (Europe)
Oh man, we're finally getting the Shovel Knight update, can't wait.
Re: PlatinumGames Has An "Interesting" Switch Title In Development
I'm getting my hopes way up and no one can stop me.
Re: Minecraft Running At 720p Docked Isn't Due To A Lack Of Switch Power, Says Microsoft
Gotta give some props to Microsoft not blaming it on their competitor's console, which would have been fairly easy and perhaps even advantageous for them to do.
Re: Feature: 30 Games We Might Get On The SNES Mini Classic Edition
Is it really too much to want all three DKC games? Cause I want all three DKC games.
Re: The Switch Mini Isn't Real Yet, But These Mock-Ups Sure Are Convincing
@daveh30 Somehow the 2DS looks better though.
Re: The Switch Mini Isn't Real Yet, But These Mock-Ups Sure Are Convincing
It's a good mockup, but this doesn't look nearly as appealing as the regular sized Switch. It looks like a cheap toy.
Re: Square Enix is Considering More Nintendo Switch Releases
I really want Nier Automata, the game looks great, but not getting a PS4 for it.
Re: Nintendo Download: 30th March (North America)
It's really starting to bum me out that Europe gets the download notices so late, how come we even get it after the US? I want them back on monday.
Re: Reggie Fils-Aimé Promises "A Big E3" For Nintendo This Year
Didn't he also say the Switch wouldn't use friendcodes?
Re: Nintendo Fixes the Left Joy-Con Problem with a Small Piece of Foam
This is one of those pictures where I actually could have used a big red circle, lol.
Re: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Runs At 60fps In 1080p When Docked
Nice, the only other thing I can imagine would make MK8 look better is some anti-aliasing, but even without it the game already looks great on Wii U.
Re: Friend Codes Are Back on Nintendo Switch, But There Are Other Options
@BLP_Software I can't even remember my own friendcode, let alone someone else's. It's so much easier to remember a user id. I can't believe Nintendo is still stuck in the past like this, especially after acting like they changed for the better.
Re: Friend Codes Are Back on Nintendo Switch, But There Are Other Options
@BLP_Software In what way is a random sequence of twelve numbers better than a username? And is it really that hard to add both options?
Re: Friend Codes Are Back on Nintendo Switch, But There Are Other Options
@BLP_Software Yeah, now if only they had the option to add people by username. The other options don't cut it for me and friendcodes are so annoying, hard to believe they're actually going back to it.
Re: Pokémon Sun And Moon's Next Global Mission Is Now Live
Yay, I can finally log in to the global link and register my game sync ID.
Re: Sumo Digital Reveals Price Of Snake Pass On Nintendo Switch
Seems good to me, definitely a title to buy when I get the Switch (end of the year hopefully).
Re: Guide: Nintendo Switch Launch Games: The Complete List
Huh Snake Pass looks pretty interesting actually. Keep my eye on that.
Re: The Third Pokèmon Sun and Moon Global Mission is Now Live
I want to join, but it seems like their site is actively working against me. It's annoying.
Re: Capcom Admits Monster Hunter Stories Performed Below Expecations
I actually thought the change in playstyle would make MH Stories more suited to succeed in the West, I'll be sad if they don't release it here.
Re: Animal Crossing Mobile Game Delayed Until Later In The Year
I just hope it will be good.
Re: Super Mario Run Now Costs £9.99 To Unlock In The UK
As someone in mainland Europe all I can do is shrug.
Re: Japanese My Nintendo Store Goes Live For Switch Pre-Orders, Promptly Crashes
Please give them money for online, they need it lol.
Re: Reggie Fils-Aime Briefly Addresses Topic Of Carrying Over Online Purchases To Switch
I know this might not be true, but dodging the question like this to me implies it won't be good news.
Re: Nintendo Switch Won't Have Miiverse Or StreetPass
A loss in my book, both of them.
Re: Random: Scarlett Johansson's Favourite Game Is Mario Kart, But She Didn't Say Which One
She told me she prefers Mario Kart DS.
Re: Nintendo Download: 27th October (Europe)
Getting Gurumin 3D, not entirely sure I'll like it, but it seems just the sort of colourful and quirky game that I love the 3DS for.
Re: Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Makes the Jump from DS to Smart Devices
Hi Capcom, I'd buy this on the 3DS eShop, just sayin'.
Re: Niantic Addresses Pokémon GO's Removal of 3-step Display and Third-Party App Access
@Jeronan Well, they could just say the truth and explain it was way more popular than they ever expected (explaining the load on the servers and why steps aren't working etc.). Can't fault them for that, this thing is yuge.
Re: Niantic Addresses Pokémon GO's Removal of 3-step Display and Third-Party App Access
@Jeronan That's great and all, but why can't Niantic just say that instead of essentially lying and saying it was confusing. It wasn't confusing, it just stopped working.They're just dancing around the issues, not addressing them.
Re: Niantic Addresses Pokémon GO's Removal of 3-step Display and Third-Party App Access
I don't get what they're saying about the steps feature, they're not even addressing the fact that it was broken? It wasn't confusing when it worked.
Re: Pokémon GO Cyclists Aren't Thrilled About Being Penalised By Speed Limit
"However for any reasonably capable cyclist, 10mph is ridiculously slow."
Are you talking about regular cyclists (like most people in the Netherlands) or the ones pretending they can ride in the Tour de France?
