I'm sure the Switch I'll buy this Christmas, bundled in a pretty colourful box with Mario, will be perfect. Every time I buy something, I pay with 100% flawless money so I expect 100% flawless products.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE Just found out that "arugula" is the funny and ugly americanization of the italian "rucola"; it's a very common spontaneous herb here in Italy. Cheap and tasty, pseudo-chefs turned it into an exotic and expensive thing for the rich ignorants. This makes me believe the games will still be full price...
@jimi I soloed the three DS and Bloodborne and I loved them all for what they offered, online is a plus. Then I read the post where you say one should not play Bloodborne...
The Witcher has a mediocre combat system compared to Dark Souls 3 or Bloodborne but it has a better story; Skyrim and Fallout 4 have a huge open world to explore but the story is a bit weak if compared to Uncharted; the upcoming Deus Ex and Dishonored 2 looks very interesting; in the new Zelda you can choose your sex and climb walls. Thank god there's a PS4 next to my WiiU...
I was a stupid to think that Nintendo needed a new Metroid, a new F-Zero, a proper Fire Emblem to sell more consoles...
I can already imagine hordes of PS4 gamers spending their money on the almighty NX to finally play Splatoon, Mario Maker and Smash Bros. in glorious 1080p 60fps!
@kyuubikid213 The Last Of Us was a success on PS4 because many gamers (me included) had a 360 as last gen console and switched to Sony for current gen.
I've never played the original or the 3ds port and I'm loving this. Restore point function is surely welcome and this is I remapped the controls: ZR = Fire Laser, ZL = Bomb, Right Stick Up = Turbo.
@MitchVogel @DarthNocturnal I hate to be that guy, but being italian I was a bit surprised to read Fichina in a Nintendo game because in my language it means "little c***", where the first * is a "u", the second a "n" and the third a "t". I hope I'm not violating rules by posting this. It's just a bit of grammar...
The T-Shirt looks good if you consider it as a pijama from the 80's.
The Star Fox Guard disc box contains a download voucher. Let's plant plastic all over the world!
The Wii U, a japanese home console, has no RPGs. And Nintendo think it's a good idea to create another non-RPG Paper Mario after stinkin' Sticker Stars. Once Nintendo was Gameplay > Graphics...
So I can buy for my old 3DS those Sega games cleverly remade by M2 with audio and video options, autostereoscopic 3D and other extras for € 5 while I need a New 3DS to buy a Snes rom for € 8...
@MrGawain Wow. As much as I love my Wii U I doubt I'd exchange Paper Mario (meh), Starfox (fingers crossed) and Zelda (does it really exist?) with Dark Souls 3, Uncharted 4, Horizon: Zero Dawn, Rathcet & Clank, Doom, No man's sky, Star Ocean 5, the new Deus Ex, NiER, God Eater, the 2 Valkyria games...
Recently I increasingly rarely visit this site because news about my Wii U were always more depressing. Than I come because of the Direct and this is what I see... Oh dear!
Loved FE Awekening, but I'm so tired now of the tiny 3ds screens and I wasn't going to buy this anyway... Thanks for ignoring the Wii U, dear Nintendo; it seems you are too busy in important things lik this. Meanwhile games like Divinity, Disgaea 5 and Wasteland 2 say "Hi".
@sleepinglion It's the good old Nintendo difference... Mario $ 42 and Rayman $28 (both 2013); Bloodborne Goty for € 35 and Tales of Zestiria for € 30 (both 2015).
@Kirk You mean the NX won't be the definitive home console? Think about: it will run Nintendo games in glorious HD and even those PS4/XBOX third parties games!!! Oh wait, this is what we thought of the Wii U... Sorry for my pessimism about Nintendo, but my Wii U is collecting a lot of dust lately. And I'm forcing myself to finish XCX which sadly went from Goty to Doty; it's hard to dedicate it some hours when my PS4 backlog is full of great games that one can easily find for half the money the big N asks. My six months old PS4 already has 6 games; my bought-on-Day-One Wii U has 13.
VR means first person-only games, so Nintendo is automatically cut off this business. Or maybe the reason we didn't have a Metroid or a F-Zero on the Wii U is because we'll play them on the powerful NX with a VR set! Yeah, for sure!
There must be a reason if my XCX character looks like Sam Gideon in his ARS suit. Vanquish is the best shooter I've ever played and I'll never forget the moment I used Sam's super-fast-knees-sliding-bullet-time move for the first time!
This article reminded me that I have a 3DS somewhere in my house. Once I bought a PS4 I had too many games to play on my home consoles and the crazy 3DS games prices just killed any interest in the handheld.
Both WaveRace and 1080° will surely look great on Wii U thanks to its perfect emulation! Nintendo choosed the Dark Side for N64 games and it seems they don't give a s**t about it...
I've been stupid enough to buy 3DS and WiiU at launch, but I won't be so stupid to do the same with whatever NX will be. The WiiU has all the power it needs to live other 2 years if only they release the games people want to play on it: F-Zero, Metroid, Zelda, Paper Mario ecc. but they prefer to support 3DS.
Maybe they already know the problem but if you mail them too it could help.
The only email I found is: [email protected]
I'll let you know ASAP if they answer me...
@B3ND3R I know. I was just wondering how these crazy WR were possible, and found out that one can do this in many other tracks... I'll never try this as I don't use exploits in Fallout 4 because I know it will ruin my experience, but at least the latter is offline-only. Hope they fix it, otherwise I will just enjoy cup and time attack thinking only at my records.
I hope they add invisible walls around the tracks and reset all the online records so online will have a sense.

Artist's Shit (Italian: Merda d'artista) is a 1961 artwork by the Italian artist Piero Manzoni. The work consists of 90 tin cans, each filled with 30 grams (1.1 oz) of faeces, and measuring 4.8 by 6.5 centimetres (1.9 in × 2.6 in), with a label in Italian, English, French, and German. On October 16, 2015, tin 54 was sold at Christies for the astonishing sum of £182,500.
Those Curve Digital discounts are crazy! Time to give The Swapper and Lone Survivor a chance!
@Tiefseemiez "Disappointing week. A lot of discounts now that I already have XCX and Fast Racing Neo drowning all my spare time!"
@abbyhitter It seems that XCX and FRN are very good examples of different products. A huge open world action RPG is surely different from an arcade futuristic racer, as a € 60 five-course lunch is different from a € 15 pizza, but if both are very good they'll still get 9/10 by gastronomic critic.
Talking about Squad missions... Am I the only one who consider them as spoilers? The best part of the game is exploration and the two missions I tried send me to a new contintet fighting new monsters... I think I'll skip these until I actually discover the continent they are set.

Re: Gallery: Go On, Feast Your Eyes On The Nintendo Switch Packaging
@Maheen713 Looks like the case could hold 18 cards, as 3ds cases did. There's surely a lot of free space for custom covers lovers.

Re: Gallery: Go On, Feast Your Eyes On The Nintendo Switch Packaging
I wonder if the Switch will get some limited edition like 3DS did.
Any rumors at least about different colors?
