Yay Dreamcast!

Scores aren't needed. We all know reviews are opinions so you're best off finding a site which generally agrees with your views.
A review could be summed up in two points.
1) Is a game is worth playing/buying?
2) Give it a comment: spiffing, mediocre or horrendous.

I can't remember if I cried,
When I read about Nintendo's brand new bride,
But something touched me deep inside,
The day the Wii U died.

*Actually I didn't buy one but Don can't be turned down.

@booker_steve Not sure I would have found it quickly enough on the main page. I can see myself enjoying the rampage a lot! Thanks again

@booker_steve
Thank you! It's downloading as I type! Very exciting! Thanks again!

@booker_steve

Not to worry. Please could you post up the code and I'll just copy it down? Thank you for being so generous!

@booker_steve

Oh yes please! How do I send you a PM? Or could you send me one? Sorry to be ignorant!?

@booker_steve

do you still have that code available, by any chance?

Calling it now:

Link will be a Mii wearing green and you'll get to choose which size of pointy ears you want.

Imagine if Ninty deleted everything with low plays. I wonder how much software would be left out there this gen...

This is incredible! Nice work, wermy

I can certainly see where Hyro Thunder came from. The none existent water effects and environments in this clip really remind me of Hydro. Nintendo must have done a ton of work on it to make this into WaveRace!

I enjoyed Spiderman 2 (I think) on Gamecube.

games should be rated 0/10 if that's what someone thought they were worth.

So glad I didn't jump in and buy this. I was thrilled at the thought of getting hold of a version of the original kart. But lack of multiplay makes it unappealing. Shame.

If this report is true, I am confident that shops have plenty of unsold wiiu s sitting around in their stock rooms. I'm sure that if there is a run to get the console before it's discontinued, the market can handle it.

I agree with everyone who is irritated with games being tied to 1 system. It's the single biggest factor in my lack of enthusiasm for download games. If N can sort this I will possibly download more but I don't think they want to since it encourages multiple purchases.

Getting towards worst case scenario for me. I don't download much at all (certainly not often enough for the points to not have expired) and always try to choose physical. But having said, that I appreciate that nintendo is at least trying to run a rewards scheme (even if it's not a very good one.)

Not interested. I don't have a smart phone so there's no point.

Does anyone know if Mario Kart supports 2 players?

I wanted to love this game but it was just too flawed. The AI is awful, shunting you off the driving line (which they never, ever deviate from). I resorted to plenty of ramming since that was what happened to me so much. It was fun to sometimes get an enemy car to crash because then it would spend the rest of the race not being able to reverse.

Download is rubbish. It means there will never be a chance of coming across a cheap second hand copy in a shop. And I'm sure that's Ninty's point.

Nothing in it to make me want to buy a wiiu. 3ds metroid looks like the metroid game I have for ds. not a lot of stuff to impress me in that direct.

@NintendoFan64 I've never seen that link before but you are soooo right! I've been chuckling all afternoon.

so this time it's Pokemon Go-ne then?

I've been saved by Fox, how swell.

I didn't bother downloading this. The other Pokemon free to play games I've tried but they are pretty tedious. Another one, albeit on different lines, was a step too far for me.

I am very dubious about this product. The press release reads like it's trying to hype the un-hypeable. It just sounds so boring.

Great thanks to that stupid banner which doesn't disappear any more I can't get the whole of the video without it being cropped by nintylife gunk.

@ikki5

Completely agree. I have a few eshop games but I try not to buy many because I disapprove of them being tied down.

I feel sad my 3ds doesn't have that much headed for it (unless I want another RPG). Having said that, I was disappointed to see that when my son played Mario Paper Jam over Christmas the game kept telling him how much greater it would be if he owned amiibos. Those sorts of games I can do without.

Is there any way to stop the header bar appearing every time I scroll upwards?

whatever

Your website. Do what you want. It is certainly nice and sparse with adblock running so in that sense gets the thumbs up.

No amiibo. How about a physical game release instead?

@manu0

Totally agree with you. Really fed up with this news. I like having something to resell.

@tux_peng
If that's the case, at least Nintendo can save themselves a fortune on in-store advertising!...

er... wait a minute...

Nooooo! I find out about those prices now!

This makes me feel so old fashioned. I don't even like downloading games since I have no way of getting rid of them if I don't like them. As for amiboo I can't wait for the toys to life bubble to shatter. I know they'll just think of some alternative dlc but when I buy a game I expect the price to reflect the game. If its got locked content I want a reduced price not made to feel I have to purchase some plastic tat to get the whole experience.

I am not shocked. I am in a state of none shockedness.

"It may simply just continue to make the games it thinks are the most fun and see what happens" but did it really, honesty think that Amiibo Festival was the most fun? I can't help but wonder if it didn't just smack of desperation to get something onto the shelves.

I have a lot of sympathy for the Codename Steam team. I bought it and loved it. It made me laugh and had me gripped. I would love to see the series continued although I expect that it is dead.

Free download content for Ultra Smash Tennis to, you know, give it some content. And a new mince pie amiibo or 'piibo'.

I wonder how things would have turned out if those 3 long years ago they had ditched the Wii U name and instead decided on something which indicated this was a new console, not a Wii add on.

Jurassic World is fun. I liked it a lot.

@RadioShadow
I thought the n64 was fine for its time. 2 unlockable characters and a few courts (can't recall how many). Admittedly, there were no upgrades as such but being able to level up the characters, who came across via the gameboy adaptor thingy, was fun.

I'd buy, if it came bundled with something, say... Super Star Wars...?

It's ok, I suppose. I know Ninty is, just like all companies, there to make money. However, this effort feels a lot more cynical than most. Apparently, I am the only one who finds the rabbit really irritating. I don't want a manipulative, pink rabbit trying to befriend me and then telling me to spend real money.

2/10 on the hype-o-meter. I can't help feeling that I may be disappointed so deliberately keeping the anticipation low (although a reason to buy a wiiu in time for Christmas would be fabulous).

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I don't have any of those 3ds games and don't own a wii u so it's not for me. I've tried Miiverse a few times and tried really hard to enjoy it but I still don't really see any point to it.

It's that first one which is the biggie. Their greatest challenge will be to prove they are relevant.
