It was decent but not amazing. The highlight was the Odyssey trailer which was incredible. Other than that the next best footage was Ubisoft's Rabbids..
All well and good for Nintendo fans and dedicated gamers to express their opinion here but the broader market will want these apps accessible on switch. Especially as it can be used like a tablet - it's nonsensical not to include a few.
I think he's talking about a subscription service - so there won't be a discount just a typical Reggie PR spin "pay this small amount each month and get access to ALL our retro software"
Tried demo, feels like a blatant cash-in to me. Very simple, short levels. There's nothing wrong with it but it's not groundbreaking and probably get as much fun out of jetpack joyride.
Well in a sense you can call it a "swift decline", it feels more like a long, drawn out death, that started some time in 2015. The day the NX was announced was probably the beginning of the end and as a Nintendo fan this year has felt anything but swift!
Imagine if the Switch had been released instead of the Wii u. It would have been killer. Today with tablets less fresh, it feels like a risk. But a calculated one at least, Nintendo are determined to make a controller with a screen work - hopefully they shift at least 5 times more Switches than they did Wii Us.
I don't understand. E3 is a wider audience, that can help Nintendo boost its reach. Nintendo Directs keep things in an exclusive Nintendo fan club. So why announce it to the in-crowd?
10 years ago everyone would have lost their s*** over this game- it's a proper lylat wars sequel, maybe Nintendo left it too long but I really hope it's awesome.

Re: Review: I and Me (Switch eShop)
Sleeper by name, sleeper by nature - the reviewer took a full week after release to publish this review!
Anyway, I bought it cos I'm a sucker for anything cat related. It's relaxing and pleasant, a touch repetitive so a 7/10 I think.

@FX102A with the value of the pound tanking, perhaps it will end up closer to parity with US price

Maybe the 15 placeholders include 5 versions of Breath of the Wild with a different amiibo packed with each one.

The Switch is not an innovation. It's a Wii U with a severed umbilical chord.

The Wii U (and Wii brand) has long sunk into a swamp of irrelevance. So this is a simple, effective way for Nintendo to become relevant again.

Re: Nintendo 64 Anthology Aims To Be The Ultimate Resource For Fans
Good idea, wish I'd had the idea- looks great, the N64 holds a fond place in my heart - wish I had kept all the games I bought back in the day.

Re: Were It Not For Rare's Tim Stamper, Wave Race Would Have Featured Boats
I liked the look of the boats! Never played Blue Storm, still curious to try it.
That was an intriguing video- Blast Dozer, Excuse me princess Link, Kirby Snowboarding...
Also interesting goldeneye was in given that Grant Kirkhope once revealed Nintendo withdrew funding but rare kept it in development.
Such an amazing period of new games and experimentation, the Wii U makes the N64 look like a treasure trove of software support.
