The thing I don't understand is why they changed from three-on-three to two-on-two. Resort was the former and it's a commonly played style of basketball. It's so weird

@HalBailman forgive me if this hasn't already been suggested (there's literally 90 comments on this thread) but one way to get around the lack of difficulty might be to go through Vs mode instead. Then you can select the difficulty setting along with the cc you want and play a cup with a bit more challenge at original top speed.

As for online, I think it's very affordable and well worth the investment. I think you mentioned you have a few mates with Switches who don't have online, but if all of you went in together for a year-long family membership it'd be peanuts. I don't want to presume anyone's financial situation but I think we're talking less than a dollar/pound a month if there's three of you signed up. Then you'd have access to significantly more competitive races which might scratch that itch.

To be clear, I don't disagree with you that there is room for a higher difficulty level, but I think the default setting for 150cc is sensible. You also have to remember that some people will be playing this game for the first time and are still getting the hang of the game when they reach 150cc.

When I was about 7-8, my sister and I would go over to play with the kids next door. The youngest had a GBA with a copy of Yellow she'd been gotten as a hand-me-down from one of her older brothers. She'd gotten stuck at the very beginning of the game because professor Oak tells the player not to leave Pallet Town, which she didn't. She gave it to me to have a go and I walked out into the tall grass, triggering the encounter with Pikachu. After that she said I could keep the game and the GBA; she'd just gotten a shiny new pink GBA SP. Thus started a lifelong Nintendo obsession. I owe that girl a lot.

The issue for me is more price. I can't afford to buy most games at launch and wait for them to go on sale. This game is never going to go on sale, so I won't be able to afford it. Simple as that

Imma be out here as soon as it comes out with my Jerry Rice #80 SF 49ers jersey

The amount of people bashing Fortnite on here is just toxic, frankly. It might be 'uncool' to like a popular game, but frankly those who do couldn't give less of a flying ****.

Personally I think it's a real shame that they've got rid of video capture, but hopefully they can figure out a way that they can sustain performance with video capture in the future.

Picked up the micro SD card. I have to keep reminding myself to only look for sales on games that I wanted before sales lol. I had to stop myself from buying FIFA 18 and NBA2K...

I'm just not fussed about this game. I thought SM3DW was fine, but not challenging in a way that made me want to continue. I never thought I'd say this, but I feel like I've grown out of Mario...

@Shiryu That was a cracking game

I just ordered mine from Game. The solo consoles are out of stock but it seems like the ones in bundles are not.

I just want BBC iPlayer

Has Nintendo ever praised another company? Just wondering

Just to clear this up, can you buy the season pass at any time?

So can you get the expansion pass well after launch and still get the bonuses?

People seem o forget that the PS4 and Xbox One launched at >£350 and they sold like hotcakes

I can't trust EA but I really hope we get what the other systems have

I really really want the soundtrack for BotW but I couldn't give less of a f*** about the master sword figurine. I thought I'd look at the American special edition since it's cheaper and has the carrying case as well as the CD. However I can't find any retailers that have it in stock and I don't know many american shops that stock video games as it is. I've already looked at Best Buy, ToysRUs, Amazon, Target, Walmart and Gamestop. Anyone have any suggestions of where to look next?

"Congratulation!"

All I want is Madden NFL to come out in the UK. I'm sick of watching other people play draft champions on YouTube

I cycle everywhere and have done so for a while. I would say a 15 mph limit would be just fine as only people going out on proper rides would crack over that sort of speed consistently

When I found out it was being discontinued I cried. I miss the writing of Skrebs, the charm of Kate and the complete lack of gaming aptitude of Matthew

Splatoon arrived at my house literally this morning

@erv I don't know where you're shopping but the only reasons why I ever download a retail game is if there is a special offer or it's free (MK8 deal). Download is HUGELY overpriced. I also quite enjoy hunting around for the best deal online

Whenever anyone says "I bet" it's complete speculation. Also, dude this isn't the noughties any more, we've upgraded from the DS

Man, I was hoping for SM3DW, but I'll probably pick up LC:U

He'll never stop plugging Wii Karaoke U will he... Love that kid. Also get rid of the British guy who can't pronounce Pokémon. It's Pokaymon not Pockemon

This is a big spend week for me, I'll definitely pick up ace attorney trilogy and probably Minecraft and Stealth inc

Microsoft is clearly trying to get this game out before Christmas. However it almost seems like they're trying to get Nintendo fans to hate them by putting out a half arsed port that makes no use of the Wii U's defining features. If it doesn't sell well it looks bad for 3rd parties who want to develop for Nintendo, so this gives companies an excuse for why they're not releasing their big multi-platfom IP's on Nintendo consoles.

I hope I'm being pessimistic but I definitely wouldn't put it past Microsoft.

That said, I'm one of the few people who has never played Minecraft so I'm relatively tempted to get this.

I'm really excited for Miitomo!

Said no one ever

SM3DW is very tempting since its about £8 less than retail although I hate spending more than £25 on a first party game

Still waiting for Ace Attorney Trilogy to go on sale again...

HEY DON'T CELEBRATE THE DEMISE OF ONM. (ps I love Nintendo life, keep up the good work)

I'm just one of the suckers that really wants games like FIFA and Madden to be there even I hate EA with a burning passion. I'd just like those games to be there so I could buy them if I wanted

Could not be any more vague at the moment, I'm still hoping for a PS+ or Xbox live kinda thing

My old 3DS XL is dead. It won't turn on. Can I still do a system transfer to the NN3DSXL?

If this doesn't turn up on the UK store I will be mighty miffed

Anyone tried watching the video with translation? It's truly indecipherable.

I'll probably pick up SI2 but I've already got OlliOlli and TWA

@RupeeClock what criteria do you cite for your dislike of the channel apart from the rather petty reason I pointed out earlier

@RupeeClock In the nicest possible way, get off your scientific high horse and stop picking apart the names of YouTube channels. Does The Game Hypothesists sound as snappy as the Game Theorists? Appreciate it for what it is: a bit of entertainment. Thank you.

I haven't been able to download it at ALL. I've rebooted my 3DS and Wii U, disconnected and reconnected the WiFi, and nothing seems to work. Anyone else have this problem?

POWER GLOVE RETURNS

Parents need to take it upon themselves to learn about the games they are buying for their kids. Too many are too worried that "little Jonny will be upset if I don't get him GTA5". My parents allowed me to buy GoldenEye 007 because they knew what happens in it and they're fine with that. What makes me uncomfortable is that my 15 year old cousin is letting her aged 12 brother play GTA5 without batting an eyelid. For me, that's just wrong

Has anyone in Europe got their Super Smash Bros CDs yet? I know there was an article saying that people were getting theirs, but I was unsure whether this was Europe or the USA. I'm UK by the way

When are club Nintendo Europe members getting theirs

I really think Nintendo needs to make a skylanders- esque game so there is really a reason for owning loads of amiibo. At the moment, all the features are rather good, my favourite so far being smash Bros and MK8, but I feel that they lack a real figure pusher, a game that requires lots of amiibos to fully complete it. Then Ninty would be rolling in it.

I wanna know what's going on with the local multiplayer. Is there any? What controllers can be used? Is it split screen? So many questions...

I wish there was some kind of discount if you already owned the game on Wii...

@tudsworth I loved ONM from my first issue, it's just such a shame that there's nothing we can do about it apart from create one ourselves (which would be hugely costly).
I love Nintendo Life, but it just really isn't the same as having a physical printed magazine delivered to your door which you can keep and refer to at any time with ease ( as I have)

Really hope that the UK gets another Nintendo exclusive magazine because I'm quite disappointed by GamesMaster
