To me games are like films; every now and then I always revisit my favourites (perhaps even getting a big feed in and making a night of it!). Because of that I hope the VC aspect is retained at the least and expanded to the nines in the best case.
This seems reasonable for a game-oriented Nintendo mobile game; pay once, you have the game. Done!
The internet requisite is kind of a non-issue; if you're in a situation where you can't use/afford the internet then you're probably not too concerned about some mobile game.
Sadly I'll have no interest in using the creature after I've cleared the story. Am I supposed to just keep it on the off chance that I use it on a future playthrough.
My only niggle with Xenoblade X is that the main story only focused on a small handful of the playable characters, making the others appear unimportant outside their own storylines. I understand that being a rather tight, normal community is the point of it all.
For the most part it seems like a refreshing game and I can't wait to play it. But I'm still not sold on replacing Gym Leaders with Totem Pokémon; to me it's like replacing Bowser with a generic 'big' Goomba and saying they're an equivalent. They're not.
Other than that, bring on Tuesday! (coz I'm in Ireland like a saddo).
In this day of the internet there are little worries to come from 'version exclusives' unless it refers to the narrative. If it doesn't then just GTS to your hearts desire!
There are times in the recent years I've felt shafted by Nintendo for having supported them (Ultra Smash and Amiibo Festival to name a couple). But what I have bought I have enjoyed immensely and still do when time permits.
Wii U at the very least should have highlighted, very brightly, elements that Nintendo could improve upon. Let's just hope that the Switch era can achieve that which Wii U could not.
We shall both gather dust playing Smash 4 forever!
I'm a little disappointed that you don't seem to fight the trial captains themselves. A big Pokémon with an aura who calls on duplicates of its evolution tree isn't a substitute for a good trainer on trainer boss battle.
Still really excited to play the game though. The story seems like it's shaping up to be as good as B&W series, which is no bad thing.
Anything that could potentially expand the user base right out of the launch gate would be fine. A myriad of first party titles (remasters and new games) and a smattering of great third party games would be a winning combo.
Club Nintendo and the Deluxe Digital Promotion felt like they were giving you worthwhile rewards for your patronage. The fact that we only have Miitomo items to buy with Platinum Points (a rather boring app btw) is a complete joke.
I always thought the man was in his late 30's. Like someone above said the Super Mario Bros Super Show probably embedded that idea in my head in my youth.

Re: Random: Shigeru Miyamoto's Samurai Mario Shirt Gets Excitable Speculation Up and Running
Put a Super Mario Warriors in my hands and I will play the hell out of it! In a manner befitting a gentleman of course.

Re: Rumour: Koei Tecmo Pitched a Star Fox Game, But it Was Rejected
Exploring the Star Fox world through the lens of the nutty Musou games could have been a fun experience. Shame.
Re: Feature: Xenoblade Chronicles X - One Year Later
My only niggle with Xenoblade X is that the main story only focused on a small handful of the playable characters, making the others appear unimportant outside their own storylines. I understand that being a rather tight, normal community is the point of it all.
Still a truly wonderful game!
Re: EA Reconfirms That A "Major Game" Is In Development For Nintendo Switch
Mass Effect Trilogy plus Andromeda?
Heh heh, not likely but I'll gladly say so if they prove me wrong.
Re: Rumour: The Skylanders Franchise Might Be Facing Cancellation
I'd prefer a return to classic Spyro style of games. Leave me with my dreams!
Re: Stardew Valley is Cancelled for Wii U, But It's Heading to Nintendo Switch
This won't be the last. Certainly makes logical sense to move futures onto the Switch.
Re: Nintendo To Hold Special eShop Sale During The Game Awards 2016
Yay, 5% off everything I already own. You've done it again Nintendo!
Re: Pokkén Tournament to Get Another New Fighter in Arcades
I'd have loved for Ampharos to be playable in Pokken. Maybe the sequel.
Re: Development on Shantae: Half-Genie Hero Has Been Completed
I want this and Yooka Laylee so bad I'd kill for them. Please let me kill for them!
Re: Talking Point: What We'd Like To See In Super Smash Bros. For Nintendo Switch
To be realistic, give us back Ice Climbers.
To dream a little, give me Isaac from Golden Sun!
Re: Rumour: Super Mario And Rabbids Crossover In Development For Nintendo Switch
Very, very strange indeed. But I'll certainly give it a chance. I could always use more Rpgs, of any kind, in my life.
Re: Project CARS Isn't Planned to Appear on the Nintendo Switch
If the Switch manages to do well I hope Slightly Mad don't expect anyone slighted to support their future efforts. That would be, well, blind.
Re: Tomonobu Itagaki on Why Devil's Third Underperformed
I never bought it because I'm an objective consumer who saw no long-term possibility of enjoyment or replayability. That and it looked poop!
Re: Beat the Beat: Rhythm Paradise Coming to Wii U eShop in Europe
A game? On Wii U?! Lies!!
Re: Tekken 7 Producer "Surprised" By Nintendo Switch, Won't Confirm Or Deny Possible Port
@PanurgeJr Playing Link in SCII in the day was so much fun; spamming the pegasus boots and juggling sword combos.
Re: Random: Scarlett Johansson's Favourite Game Is Mario Kart, But She Didn't Say Which One
She says that Mission Mode should return to the series.
Re: Darksiders: Warmastered Edition Now Coming to Wii U "At a Later Stage", Delaying eShop Release
@HappyMaskedGuy Cuddly rabbit style move
We've been hugged to death by disappointment!
Re: Editorial: Cutting Edge Visual Splendour vs. 60 Frames-Per-Second - Between a Rock and a Hard Place
Stable frame rate first, glitter on the rocks second!
Re: Review: Pokémon Sun and Moon (3DS)
For the most part it seems like a refreshing game and I can't wait to play it. But I'm still not sold on replacing Gym Leaders with Totem Pokémon; to me it's like replacing Bowser with a generic 'big' Goomba and saying they're an equivalent. They're not.

Re: EA Executive Clarifies Scope of Nintendo Switch Support, but is Cautious of Its Prospects
@SLIGEACH_EIRE
EA are dirt. They can start by giving Switch owners the Mass Effect Trilogy for free. We should have got it on Wii U.
That would be a good start.
Re: Nintendo Download: 17th November (Europe)
Ugh, is it going to be like this until March? Why am I asking such an obvious question. Darksiders and Yooka Laylee can't come soon enough!
Re: Looks Like That Bravely Default Tease Was For A Smartphone Game
Eff off mundane mobile gaming!
Re: Pokémon Sun and Moon Version Exclusives Leaked Online
In this day of the internet there are little worries to come from 'version exclusives' unless it refers to the narrative. If it doesn't then just GTS to your hearts desire!
Re: Video: This Nintendo Switch 'Anime Opening' Is Pure Retro Cool
Brilliant!

Re: Short Hyrule Warriors Video Signals the End of a DLC Era
Now onto other pastures Koei. That Super Mario Warriors won't make itself!
Re: Nintendo Download: 10th November (Europe)
I could save a whole €1.30 on Elliot Quest. Huzzahn't!
Re: Capcom "Researching" Viability Of PS4 And Xbox One Ports On Nintendo Switch
Sounds like an excuse to give Switch the experimental spin-off games and leave the 'safe' games in the hands of Sony and Microsoft.
I'm having déjá-vu.
Re: Ubisoft CEO Praises "True Innovation" Of Switch, Teases "Surprise" Game In Development
Some Rayman, some Prince of Persia, some Child of Light or some BG&E would be a lovely thing.
Re: Take-Two Interactive Reiterates Support of Nintendo Switch, But Won't Confirm Games Yet
I'm sure Jan 12 will shed some much needed light on many developers intentions to support the Switch.

Re: Here Are Your New My Nintendo Rewards
I'd rather let my points expire than spend it on this poop.
Re: Rumour: Nintendo Switch Game Cards Limited To 16GB Size
So an 8, 10 or 12gb game will have to be on a 16gb cart. Meaning a 29gb game will have to be on a 32gb cart.
I see no problems here.
Re: Gallery: Take a Look At These Classic Nintendo Switch Joy-Con Grip Designs
I'd eat up that SNES design. Nom.
Re: Preview Trailer of the Nintendo NX Confirmed for 20th October
Ooooooohhhhhhh Yeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaahhhh!
Re: Data Miners Find More New Monsters In Pokémon Sun And Moon Demo
That Alolan Persian is absolutely hilarious!
Re: Timing of NX Reveal Remains Up for Debate, as Insight Emerges On Super Mario Run Development
The NX is a mysterious and powerful device, and it's mystery is only exceeded by its power.
But has anyone said what it looks like?
Re: Editorial: Some Context on the Nintendo NX 'This Week' Claims
We're at hype alert orange, which means something will be revealed somewhere, at some time, in some way. So look sharp!
Re: Thanks to My Nintendo You Can Now Get That Miitomo Lemon Hat That You Always Wanted
The two people who want this must be elated!
Re: Ice Station Z Is Bringing Open World Zombie Horror To The 3DS This November
Ice Station Zebra the game? What a neat idea!
Re: 13AM Games Reveals More Information About Runbow
More Shantae is never a bad thing.
Re: Weirdness: Desperation for NX Details Even Makes an Old Forum Post Interesting
@aaronsullivan But having that excess of unnecessary stuff is what makes life grand!
Re: Talking Point: The Problems With My Nintendo So Far, and Why All's Not Lost
Slogging through a rubbish AC or FE game on mobile for Platinum Points would be better than the tedium that is Miitomo.
Re: Poll: Six Months On - How Do You Feel About My Nintendo?
Club Nintendo and the Deluxe Digital Promotion felt like they were giving you worthwhile rewards for your patronage. The fact that we only have Miitomo items to buy with Platinum Points (a rather boring app btw) is a complete joke.
Re: Koji Igarashi on the Wii U Port of Bloodstained
Just push it to the NX and I'm a happy camper.

I always thought the man was in his late 30's. Like someone above said the Super Mario Bros Super Show probably embedded that idea in my head in my youth.
