@Asaki and anyone else trying to complete the horse breeding, there are qr codes if you search for them. Only last month i finally got the last horse breed after i found a qr code and bred it. After all this time i'd finally 100% the game haha. Just a warning the kings gate is THE hardest race and will take a lot of goes and breeding to win. It's maddening but euphoria when you win. It really deserves to come to switch as it'll gain a much bigger audience. Also whoever gave it 7/10 i hope it was because they mispressed the number 😏. It is truly a game of beauty and brain power. Please grab it.
Lovely stuff but a little expensive plus i already have a ton of Nintendo tshirts in my wardrobe (close to 30 between official and qwertee designs haha). If the long sleeve tops were cheaper i'd have gotten them as i only have plain long tops and one green mushroom jumper. Still looks great though!
Common sense has prevailed at last. Never should have stopped them in the first place. I managed to get mine first time round and i love mine so great news for those who missed out
Those complaining don't forget this is the first part of the dlc. The next part will be the additional story which will be worth it. I'm more reassured now about it.
@kingc8 No it's one cart per console as essentially it's a "home console" release. I'm going digital only because i won eshop credit and mk8 is on ebay right now. Should be enough to cover most of it.
I ordered two myself- one for me and one for the founders of my local streetpass group as they're in work. Amazon have three ways they can deal with this-
1) Stick by the t and c's saying it was a pricing error so it doesn't come under the pre-order price drop guarantee and cancel all of the orders made. This would make them extremely unpopular and sales of the game would plummit which Nintendo wouldn't like. On Amazon's part though they wouldn't lose money.
2) Amazon admits it's an error and follow in game seeks's footsteps and honour the price. It will mean a loss for them but it will look favourable for them and sales of the game will be up which makes Nintendo happy even if they also take a hit moneywise.
3) Honour the price but for one code only with any extra ordered being cancelled. Amazon and Nintendo would still lose money but people would be more accepting since the copy they have for themself will be super cheap. Amazon would look good and Nintendo shifts some units which is good for figures.
I really hope they go for number three as if i lose the other copy, i still have one i can show off at our switch event in March and it'll save me £32 by cancelling it on Argos (doing a pay monthly thing for the Switch). If they do the first i won't be upset as it was clearly a mistake and at least i tried haha. Option two would be nice but it'll be too much money lost so not expecting that at all.
I think we all knew one was coming but it happening in launch month is a surprise and excellent. It could even push splatoon purchases up for those who never picked it up on Wii U. I think it'll be the stage from the Nintendo hands on event but it was a great stage and it'll be nice to play it for more than one three minutes match!
He says "at lease not at launch" so it could still be coming at some point. They're probably looking for a way to have one without it allowing hacks. Youtube, bbc iplayer, netflix and twitch are the ones i really want.
Love it if Nintendo would release this and their gaming soundtracks too. I got some with club nintendo and they're wonderful. Most recent one was i imported the Kid Icarus Uprising one and it's fantastic.
Typoman is looking at me now even more which is nice. Also recomment pocket card jockey as it's just wonderful. Takes a little to get used to it but once you got it, bam! I do agree though Nintendo need to have more games on offer. Either that or digital OSTs.
My local Game didn't sell it. Big shame as it's a great game and a ton of fun in multiplayer but not surprising especially going up against Battlefield. Next no.1 spot will probably be pokemon sun and moon.
As a big splatoon lover, i'm wondering how they'll do the gyro part for the remix/new version we saw. I tried twin sticks so much but i could never play it right. Got more questions as well. Next year seems so far away....
@plug313 You can indeed. The only plus of playing the first one is that you'll get two bonus items which are probably found later on (just got sticket 19 so not sure myself yet). It improves a lot on the first one already so go for it! Base.com has it for £28 i think which will be worth it. I loved the first one so this will go down well
@shani Going to have to agree to disagree here. From a streetpass group point of view, it would have been better to have had local over online and has actually put off the ones who were going to get it with us, especially since we can't always have a wii u running at certain venues we use for events and we use games which have single cart download play too so everyone can join in. Also having online comps on the 3ds as part of the group has been frustrating- some key examples are MK7 where people kept disconnecting, Blast Ball which has no way to play with friends (had to be abandoned sadly) and triforce heroes is nigh on unplayable online. Even Monster Hunter has had it's fair share of problems. So while it may suit others better, for myself and others in SPSW, we have changed our minds about buying it. A big shame indeed
Removal of local multiplayer means a lot of lost sales. Would have been a must buy but now it's a no buy. Maybe try saying how disappointed you are on twitter and with enough people could be readded. Remove streetpass if you must but leave the local multiplayer alone!
As someone who really enjoyed sticker star, i can't wait to pick it up. Sadly with Disney Magical World 2 and Rhythm Paradise it'll have to wait :/ Likely a christmas treat for me.
@UK-Nintendo I did as with Sky you need to download the program first before watching it. Still have it on my tablet but prefer it to be on the tv instead. Seems like the Wii U support isn't going to be around long after the NX is released then....
NX reveal is said to be coming in October. Good back up for (if all is to be believed) it is that- *Developers have talked about the system *Trial period for constructing console *Wii U orders are finishing very soon *Ton of handheld and home console divisions have merged together *Nintendo have censored interviews recently where NX is mentioned besides those mentioned above *Not appearing at any recent gaming expos
They have things to show off except for Pokemon Sun and Moon as the demo is still not ready yet according to sources. Ridiculous i know but there we go. If it's not revealed by the end of next month, the March launch date is highly unlikely. They need to announce something though. Been going on long enough.
Fine by me. I haven't played the second one yet so i'll wait for this then play it in sequence. As long as it runs well i'm happy. Landed it's coming to the Wii U without missing anything from the other versions bar the framerate of course. It'll be on my christmas list no doubt about it!
It all comes down to what is being worked on. Could be it wasn't for them and decided to move on which is fair enough. Last thing you want is to work on something your heart isn't in and it ending up being rubbish. Good luck to them anyway wherever they end up.
Like most, i use it just to gain platinum points. Sad really as it could have become something but it's been left to die out. Also no use for sweets bar questions is ridiculous. Let us use them for something useful like tickets 😧
Ordered mine with Game then Nintendo store. For some reason i couldn't cancel the Game order but luckily a friend of mine wanted it so i've kept it for them instead of them trying to find one at scalper prices. Not too worried about the Nintendo order as i had the xl bundle but the Game one i'm really worried about as i don't want to let my friend down. Please get this right Game. Please do not let me down last minute.....
Off screen play is wonderful. It has helped during many periods of illness and recovery. I hope on the NX it will be supported more. Shame more wasn't done with it but to me it's been wonderful.
Only reason i'm getting yellow is because i won an eshop voucher otherwise it would be a big fat no from me. £6.99 yes but theprice is just greed. This will be my first pokemon game so nostalgia doesn't affect me. I understand the cartridges are more expensive but sometimes no wonder people go down the non-legal route
This is why i never buy any calendars until well after new year. Shared the code with my streetpass group as they've been great with me. Got one coming for myself. For £1.99 postage, it's worth it. Wouldn't be surprised if the other ones are done like this too.
@CHET_SWINGLINE Certain weapons can only be obtained by finding scrolls in the single player levels (27 altogether but there are plenty of videos if you have any trouble finding them. You theb give them to Sheldon who makes weapons from them). Others unlock as you level up while free dlc is automatically updated when you switch the game on next time. Enjoy!
Streetpass South Wales is holding an event on Saturday at The Little Man Coffee shop in Cardiff from 10AM to 5PM. They'll be playing many games including Triforce heroes. Could you please add it? Thanks!
