It's better than nothing, but I'd prefer to have a website option for viewing the SplatNet info like they did with Splatoon 1. Plus, Voice Chat through a mobile app is pointlessly convoluted.
Hopefully things improve for them. It's good to still have a major video game store on the high street. However, GAME has a lot of issues, especially with pricing.
This isn't filling me up with hype. Raids just seem like too much hassle. With only 1 raid pass a day, only 5 minutes to beat the boss, and the tougher bosses being almost impossible unless you're lucky to have other players turn up, it's going to be really awkward to get the good pokemon.
That raid system sounds too complex to pull off. With only a 5 minute time limit and with it allowing up to 20 people at once, I can't imagine it'll be very likely to take down the monster unless you happen to be with a group of other players.
There's a few great games on that list, but most of them aren't doing it for me. Ever Oasis, Super Mario Odyssey, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, and Pokemon Ultra S&M are my main highlights.
It was a little disappointing. We didn't get any gameplay for the two big surprises: Pokemon Switch and Metroid Prime 4. Most of the other games shown were ones we already knew about.
This is a big blow for the Switch. Lack of a Western Monster Hunter release for it is going to make me more hesitant to get a Switch.
I'm probably still going to get Monster Hunter World and have lots of fun with it. However, XX looks great too and I would have loved to play that if and when I get a Switch. But there's no way I'm going to play XX in Japanese.
It was a bit disappointing, since the Spotlight was so underwhelming. I'd probably be a lot more positive now if the Spotlight was longer and had the Treehouse reveals, such as more Xenoblade gameplay, Metroid 3DS, and Mario and Luigi.
The main highlight for me was the Pokemon Switch announcement, but there was no gameplay footage as well so even that was a letdown.
I'm nowhere as hyped now as I was a week ago. With Pokemon coming to the 3DS and Monster Hunter coming to PS4, I'm not expecting too much that'll particularly excite me.
Things I wanna see most are Monster Hunter XX Western releases for 3DS and Switch, along with more Ultra Sun and Moon info. Plus, some previously unannounced Switch games would be brilliant.
I wonder whether it's Microsoft to blame for this feature not being on PS4, or Sony? Guess we'll never know, but it's great that Nintendo is allowing the cross platform update.
I just want to see some new games. More info on the likes of Super Mario Odyssey would be sweet, but it's the surprises that'll get me excited.
Also, I'm hoping that'll Nintendo will be able to convince me to grab a Switch, but realistically I'm not expecting to get one until a year or two down the road once the game library is much bigger.
I'm excited, but I'm also staying cautious. Nintendo is unpredictable in these events, sometimes they do something brilliant and sometimes they're being awful. Hopefully they'll do something that'll convince me to grab a Switch.
I'm getting more and more hyped for this. I've been a bit reluctant to want to get this since there's lots of other games that I want to play, but I'll probably grab this.
So glad that Europe isn't going to be waiting years after the US release for them. I'll probably grab Etrian Odyssey V, dunno about the other two games.
This might be concerning. If they make it so that buying a ticket and attending the Chicago event is required to catch certain Pokemon, then I'll never get back into Pokemon Go.
Just a heads up, the link in the article to the Chicago event's official website is broken. It just takes you to a NintendoLife 404 page.

Re: Online Co-Op in Splatoon 2's Salmon Run Will Be Limited to Specific Times
That time-based limitation is frustrating.
Re: Nintendo Switch Online App to Launch on 21st July Alongside SplatNet 2
It's better than nothing, but I'd prefer to have a website option for viewing the SplatNet info like they did with Splatoon 1. Plus, Voice Chat through a mobile app is pointlessly convoluted.
Re: Splatoon 2's First Splatfest To Take Place Before The Game Launches
Ice Cream is much better than cake. But I'll have to keep out of this fight and hope the correct team wins, since I'm still Switchless.
Re: Pokémon GO Celebrates First Birthday With Special Hat-Wearing Pikachu
It took me a long time to find a hat Pikachu last time a special one was available, so I'm not going to bother with this one.
Re: Random: Internet Reacts Badly To The New Snake Pass Menu Icon
I agree, the old one looks way better.
Re: Feature: The Biggest Nintendo Switch Retail Games of 2017 - Summer Edition
Super Mario Odyssey, Xenoblade and Splatoon 2 are the main 3 here that interest me.
Re: Nintendo UK Reiterates That Switch Demand Has "Surpassed" Global Estimates
The Switch is doing a lot better than expected, so lack of stock isn't surprising.
Re: Beleaguered UK Retailer GAME Blames Lack Of Switch Stock For Profit Warning
Hopefully things improve for them. It's good to still have a major video game store on the high street. However, GAME has a lot of issues, especially with pricing.
Re: Nintendo Announces Super NES Classic Edition
Cools, but I've already got most of the games I'm interested in on Virtual Console, so I doubt I'll get it.
Re: Star Fox 2 Will Finally Be Released Thanks To Super NES Classic Edition
It's not something I'd buy a SNES Classic just to play, but maybe I'd get it if it was released on Virtual Console.
Re: Guide: Pokémon Go Raids, Raid Bosses, Raid Rewards And Much More Besides
This isn't filling me up with hype. Raids just seem like too much hassle. With only 1 raid pass a day, only 5 minutes to beat the boss, and the tougher bosses being almost impossible unless you're lucky to have other players turn up, it's going to be really awkward to get the good pokemon.
Re: Review: Ever Oasis (3DS)
Looks decent, but I'm going to skip it. There's plenty of other games I'm eyeing up.
Re: Feature: The (Sadly Fictional) Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo Switch Fighter Ballot - Results!
Sigh, no Rayman in the top 10.
Re: Nintendo Download: 22nd June (Europe)
Ever Oasis is very tempting for me. I might hold off on getting it though, as there's other games keeping me busy right now.
Re: Monster Hunter Stories Will Roar Onto 3DS in Europe on 8th September
Great, it's something I'm looking forward to. Not sure whether I'll get it or not, as there's lots of other games I'm also wanting to play.
Re: Layton's Mystery Journey: Katrielle and the Millionaires' Conspiracy Due This Fall in North America
Is that date for the 3DS version, or for the mobile version, or both?
I'm excited for this. Once the 3DS version releases in Europe, I'll happily buy it.
Re: Pokémon GO's Biggest Update Yet Brings Gym Badges, New Items And Raid Battles
That raid system sounds too complex to pull off. With only a 5 minute time limit and with it allowing up to 20 people at once, I can't imagine it'll be very likely to take down the monster unless you happen to be with a group of other players.
Re: Nintendo Infographic Outlines Switch and 3DS Games for 2017
There's a few great games on that list, but most of them aren't doing it for me. Ever Oasis, Super Mario Odyssey, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, and Pokemon Ultra S&M are my main highlights.
Re: Something Big Is About To Happen To Pokémon GO's Gyms
I barely did any of the gyms stuffs. Finding and capturing Pokemon was the most interesting part of the game for me.
Re: Poll: What Did You Think of Nintendo at E3 2017?
It was a little disappointing. We didn't get any gameplay for the two big surprises: Pokemon Switch and Metroid Prime 4. Most of the other games shown were ones we already knew about.
Re: First Impressions: Leaving Crumbs And Felling FOEs In Etrian Odyssey V On 3DS
That's disappointing that they removed the overworld from IV and went back to having a huge dungeon. I'm still hyped for this game.
Re: Max Brass Will Be Added To The ARMS Roster Next Month, Spectator Mode Also Incoming
10 fighters is a bit on the low side, so it's good that this game will eventually get more characters.
Re: Amazon Lists Pokémon Stars For Nintendo Switch
Give it up, Pokemon Stars is not happening.
Re: The Hybrid Nature Of Switch Is Causing Level-5 Headaches With Its Next Layton Adventure
Layton games are great. If they start releasing Layton exclusively for the Switch, then I'm going to be more tempted to pick up a Switch.
Re: Mighty No. 9 Dev Comcept Acquired By Level-5, 3DS Version Is Still Coming
As long as Comcept doesn't mess things up with Level 5, I'm not bothered either way.
Re: Capcom Has No Plans to Bring Monster Hunter XX for Nintendo Switch to the West
This is a big blow for the Switch. Lack of a Western Monster Hunter release for it is going to make me more hesitant to get a Switch.
I'm probably still going to get Monster Hunter World and have lots of fun with it. However, XX looks great too and I would have loved to play that if and when I get a Switch. But there's no way I'm going to play XX in Japanese.
Re: Nintendo Download: 15th June (Europe)
Just the Devilish Brain Training demo for me this week.
Re: Switch Owners Won't Be Able To Play Minecraft Or Rocket League Against PS4 Owners, And Here's Why
Yeah, I'm not convinced with that argument. No way to defend Sony this time.
Re: Poll: What Did You Think of Nintendo's Big Switch and 3DS Reveals at E3 on Day One?
It was a bit disappointing, since the Spotlight was so underwhelming. I'd probably be a lot more positive now if the Spotlight was longer and had the Treehouse reveals, such as more Xenoblade gameplay, Metroid 3DS, and Mario and Luigi.
The main highlight for me was the Pokemon Switch announcement, but there was no gameplay footage as well so even that was a letdown.
Re: Koopa Troopa and Goomba amiibo Figures Are on the Way
Sigh, it would be nice if they explained the functionality of new amiibo.
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Confirmed for Holiday 2017
This trailer didn't do anything for me, it had too little gameplay. Maybe I'll get excited once they show off more of the gameplay.
Re: A New Pokémon RPG Has Been Confirmed For Development For Nintendo Switch
Awesome news. Guess it means that I still have a year before I need to worry about getting a Switch.
Re: Feature: What We Expect from the Nintendo Spotlight and Treehouse at E3 2017
I'm nowhere as hyped now as I was a week ago. With Pokemon coming to the 3DS and Monster Hunter coming to PS4, I'm not expecting too much that'll particularly excite me.
Things I wanna see most are Monster Hunter XX Western releases for 3DS and Switch, along with more Ultra Sun and Moon info. Plus, some previously unannounced Switch games would be brilliant.
Re: Random: Xbox Wishes Nintendo Well for E3 2017, "Hope you all SMASH it"
A brand new Smash might be the thing that finally gets me hyped for the Switch. A Wii U port with a few new characters won't excite me that much.
I'm keeping my expectations low, but we'll see. Hopefully we'll be pleasantly surprised in the Nintendo Spotlight.
Re: Monster Hunter: World Confirmed for Rival Platforms, is Skipping Nintendo Switch
I'm excited, can't wait for this.
Re: Minecraft's Cross-Platform Update Is Coming To Nintendo Switch This August
I wonder whether it's Microsoft to blame for this feature not being on PS4, or Sony? Guess we'll never know, but it's great that Nintendo is allowing the cross platform update.
Re: Feature: Our Nintendo Hopes and Dreams for E3 2017
I just want to see some new games. More info on the likes of Super Mario Odyssey would be sweet, but it's the surprises that'll get me excited.
Also, I'm hoping that'll Nintendo will be able to convince me to grab a Switch, but realistically I'm not expecting to get one until a year or two down the road once the game library is much bigger.
Re: Poll: Are You Excited About Nintendo at E3 2017?
I'm excited, but I'm also staying cautious. Nintendo is unpredictable in these events, sometimes they do something brilliant and sometimes they're being awful. Hopefully they'll do something that'll convince me to grab a Switch.
Re: Video: Get Ready For The Launch Of Ever Oasis With This Lovely Trailer
I'm getting more and more hyped for this. I've been a bit reluctant to want to get this since there's lots of other games that I want to play, but I'll probably grab this.
Re: Deep Silver Bringing Etrian Odyssey V, Radiant Historia Perfect: Chronology And SMT: Strange Journey Redux To Europe
So glad that Europe isn't going to be waiting years after the US release for them. I'll probably grab Etrian Odyssey V, dunno about the other two games.
Re: Video: What We Think Could be Announced at E3, and What Definitely Won't
Pokemon Stars!
Re: Pokémon GO Fest Chicago Takes Place This Summer, Solstice Event Also Revealed
This might be concerning. If they make it so that buying a ticket and attending the Chicago event is required to catch certain Pokemon, then I'll never get back into Pokemon Go.
Just a heads up, the link in the article to the Chicago event's official website is broken. It just takes you to a NintendoLife 404 page.
Re: Binding Of Isaac Creator Edmund McMillen Is Bringing The End Is Nigh To Switch
Reminds me of Super Meat Boy, which I enjoyed. I'll probably pass on this game, but I might be tempted to pick it up on Steam eventually.
Re: Go On A Mystery Journey To Find The Layton Café At E3 This Year
Complimentary tea? Now I'm hyped... and the souvenirs sound good too
Re: Feature: Pokémon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon - What We Know So Far...
Sounds like it's going to be significantly different from Sun and Moon. If so, then I'll be sure to pick up one of the Ultra games.
New pokemon is likely just referring to forms. I'm hoping that they'll give Alolan forms to more than just 1st gen Pokemon.
Re: Review: ARMS (Switch)
Could be fun, but 9/10 seems slightly too high for it. It's not something I'd ever buy unless I tried it out first.
Re: Etrian Odyssey V And SMT: Strange Journey Redux Confirmed For Western 3DS Release
Well, my 3DS isn't going to be able to retire any time soon. With Pokemon and now Etrian Odyssey, it's still got life left in it.
Re: Poll: What Did You Think of the Pokémon Direct and Its Big Reveals?
We didn't see enough of Ultra Sun/Moon to get me hyped just yet, but I'll get really excited for it if it's significantly different.
Now that Direct is over, I'm still going to wait before buying a Switch. That Direct unfortunately didn't convince me to rush off and buy a Switch.
Re: Pop On Some Headphones for This Sonic Forces Park Avenue Track
Catchy tune. Lyrics don't bother me either way, as I never pay attention to lyrics in songs.
Re: Press Release Suggests E3 Nintendo Spotlight Will be About 30 Minutes
30 minutes seems short. However, that's still plenty of time for a lot of announcements.
