@Bluerangervegeta when exactly was I “a d!** about it” or call anyone “stupid”? With or without the affiliate links (that are clearly labelled) we’d run this content and it would be just as useful for our audience. Sorry if you can’t see that.
@Sean161 most people are discussing the topic of the article. Ignoring my previous explanation of the existence of the article and then continuing to argue with people about that is disruptive and breaks this rule: "Do not post - unless you have something useful to say;".
@Sean161 okay, leave it there. You've been very disruptive on this article, if you don't understand why we cover these consoles then maybe Nintendo Life isn't for you.
@Ardisan yeah, obviously there is still a debate around how much work actually goes into the model - we just wanted to try and clear up what the guy said in the first place
@Blister no problem and I share the feeling! I probably won't end up getting one of these as my brain tells me I'll never end up playing it... but my heart says 'just order it anyway'
@ClassSonicSatAm @sanderev correct, we'll continue to cover everything retro as it's relevant to our readers. We started the site covering virtual console, which featured TG16 etc, so of course, we're going to cover this you're welcome. If you aren't interested in every single article, don't worry - they aren't all specifically for you.
@sanderev not really, breaking out the individual topics into their own articles so they can be considered and discussed on their own merits, otherwise comments would be all over the shop.
@EmmatheBest we could manage that during the Wii U days because there were much fewer releases. On Switch there are so many it just isn’t possible in a useful timeframe!
@Stocksy there's no suggestion it is an E3 announcement, so we're still going to report on it. Closer to E3, we might try and be a bit more spoiler free, sure, but we're still a few weeks away. If you 100% don't want any spoilers for E3, you better stay off the internet for the next few weeks
@MeatSauce umm, why not? It's interesting seeing the change of pop culture references to Switch. We don't expect every reader to read every article, if you're not interested in the subject of the article then just skip it, as others might find it more interesting than you.
The original design is super ugly, but the warning message does need to be clear. However, they could just make it mandatory to have a reversible sleeve without the warning, then once you've bought it you can just swap it around problem solved!
@illmatic20xx new interview, new questions, new answers. Even if they are the same it’s an update on the situation which rules out speculation from others.
@johnvboy slow comment day too, eh? Not every article we post needs to be hard-hitting breaking news. Nintendo Life covers all kinds of Nintendo related news, including interesting little articles like this. If you're not interested, that's fine, but there's no need to be like that.
@Haywired maybe we'll do another where we pick out the staff highlights, but this article is to decide what the general opinion of the best games on this platform - everyone's vote counts
@Ooyah @Matthew010 it’s possible, yeah, but we’ve deliberately hidden how many downvotes you get as we feel some people will use that as motivation to be as controversial as possible to try and game the system and get a ‘high score’.
For those asking, sure, we’ll look into subscribing once more information is available. However, it’s highly unlikely we’d be allowed to publish the information as we have in the past. It’s useful information for consumers, but realistically is aimed at the industry.

@Bluerangervegeta no, you can read it however you want, but that’s not the intention at all.
Re: Guide: Where To Pre-order PC Engine / TurboGrafx-16 Mini
@Gamer707b time - so many games these days it’s hard to justify for me when I know I won’t prioritise it over my current backlog of games.

Re: Guide: Where To Pre-order PC Engine / TurboGrafx-16 Mini
@Sean161 you'll never agree with everyone, nobody does, but that doesn't mean it requires an argument about it

@gcunit interesting, I can see activity from a Google Proxy for your account. Thanks for the info anyway
Re: Deals: Grab A Bargain With These Nintendo Switch Console Bundles On Prime Day In The UK
@gcunit that would suggest you are accessing it via a US IP address, are you using a VPN or Proxy in the US? (I know you are UK based)

@Nintendofan83 @gcunit working fine for us (and many others), what seems to be the problem?

Re: Talking Point: Could We See Mario Kart Tour At Apple's Event Today?
