@Tempestryke I guess I meant more from the perspective that people are feeling ripped off for buying "just cardboard" and aren't considering the game as a whole, not so much the fact that it could be flimsy. Yes it can break easily but you take that risk with almost any type of toy.
I don't understand the buying "just cardboard" argument. You're actually making stuff here not to mention a actual game cartridge comes with it. It's like buying a puzzle and saying what a waste of money for a board of cardboard. Or buying legos and arguing it's just a bunch of plastic.
I still play some of the newer NBA Jam on xbox so I don't know if it's worth getting for me but it does look cool and portability is a plus. Also the "new" NBA Jam (2010?) released on Wii as well for any of you with a Wii and no PS3 or 360 looking for some NBA Jam action.
@Ogbert I didn't notice any HD rumble either. I would really like to try it. Its too bad there's no demo for 1-2 Switch or even a free game/app that lets you test out the hd rumble.
I wonder if the free NES/SNES games will be "permantly owned" like how xbox does there free 360 games or if it'll be like PS+ and only let you "own" it if you have a current subsription.
I wish theyd make a video game version of the different monopoly themed boards. would be really cool to play vs a cpu with a zelda theme when you cant always get another person. be cool to play a little and come back later too without taking up space.
Does it really matter that its smaller compared to the official one? Its not like the real one's huge to begin with. How small do things need to be nowadays?
Wait. Why are the screenshots in this review in color? Aren't the VC releases just black and white?(besides Yellow) Might be kind of deceiving to people who might buy the game based on this review.
I know for a fact that the older 3ds can play snes games because I own one on it (and no it's not homebrew.) When I pre ordered Dragon Ball Ultimate Butoden for 3ds I got the japanese snes game Dragon Ball Z Super Butoden 2.
I also played Red on a game boy color so its a little weird to see it only black and white. Thats why I might get yellow even though id prefer the story and setup of red or blue. Its too bad all VC game boy games dont have an option for the slight color the GBC gave most of the older B&W games.

Why is the Detective Pikachu amiibo so expensive? It's almost as much as the game itself.

Re: Guide: All The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild amiibo Unlocks

Re: Rayman 3 and Rayman Advance Arrive on the North American Wii U VC Tomorrow
when I saw rayman 3 I thought gamecube. Both are awsome gba games though.
Re: Video: NBA Jam Fans Might Like the Look of NBA Playgrounds, Coming to Nintendo Switch
Do we know who the developer is? At the end of the video I saw a logo for SABER but im not sure if thats a developer or engine or something else?
Edit: Nvm it is Saber Interactive. Although there is also a Saber engine.
Re: Feature: The Best Nintendo April Fools' Day Gags of 2017
The majoras mask thing would have been cool. The switching of clothes in BoTW reminded me of majoras mask's masks.
Re: The Yooka-Laylee Rap Tries to be the Best and Worst Thing All at Once
that was a long 3 minutes... but still cool.
Re: First Impressions: Splatoon 2 - What We Learned About Weapons, Visuals and Controls

Re: Mr. Shifty is Another Early eShop Treat Coming to Nintendo Switch
This game has a beta going on on PC right now if anyone wants to demo it. It's pretty fun, although it runs slow on my older computer.
Re: Nintendo Unleashes a Nintendo Switch Infographic of Confirmed Nindie Games
curious about the nba playgrounds game, hope its like nba jam. Also perception seems cool they should have shown that one off in the presentation.
Re: Exclusive: RIVE Delayed for Wii U and Could Switch to NX, Two Tribes Tells Us Why
kind of ironic the article uses the word "switch" before the name was revealed.
Re: Breaking Down the Nintendo Switch Online Service Details
So you can't set up chats from the system itself? You need a smart device in order to invite friends to games? I'm a little confused.
Re: Guide: Where To Pre-Order The Nintendo Switch, Games And Accessories
thanks NL. Able to preorder from bestbuy.
Re: Nintendo Switch to Introduce Paid Online Service in Autumn / Fall
I wonder if the free NES/SNES games will be "permantly owned" like how xbox does there free 360 games or if it'll be like PS+ and only let you "own" it if you have a current subsription.
Re: Guide: Where To Pre-Order The Nintendo Switch, Games And Accessories
how do you know which color options your getting? BestBuy dosen't even have pictures.
Re: Minecraft, Sonic, Street Fighter And Bomberman Are All Coming To Switch
So I guess no Virtual Console in the presentation after all if SFII is a new game.
Re: Nintendo Life's 12 Days of Christmas - Day Six

Re: Nintendo Life's 12 Days of Christmas - Day Two
the game boy one's are cool too.
Re: Nintendo Life's 12 Days of Christmas - Day One
never heard the word jumper used for sweater, was really confused at first. Is that a UK term?
Re: Gallery: Check Out Blaster Master Zero, The Inti Creates Revival of a Classic
graphics remind me of shovel knight a lot.
Re: Gallery: Take a Look At These Classic Nintendo Switch Joy-Con Grip Designs
These controllers remind me of the 2DS but without a screen.
Re: Feature: Ten of Our Favourite DSiWare Games
In case anyone wanted to know what DSiWare games are NOT available on the 3DS eshop heres a list from Nintendo:
http://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/438/~/what-dsiware-games-can-be-transferred-to-the-nintendo-3ds-family-system-or-are
I recommend Asphalt IV, it's pretty fun, maybe not as good by today's standards for a portable racing game but its not bad.
Re: Poll: The GameCube is 15 Years Old - Pick Your Favourite Games
besides the obvious ones I played a lot of nba live 2003. Luigis Mansion is probably my favorite though, and Animal Crossing.
Re: Nintendo of America Expands Nintendo Selects Range and Unveils Small New 3DS Bundle
Nintendogs is already $15 on the eShop so its kind of weird their releasing it for $20.

Re: Video: This Raspberry Pi-Powered, 3D Printed NES Mini Puts Nintendo's Effort To Shame

Re: Nintendo Download: 21st July (North America)
@ThomasBW84 Humanitarian Helcopter is showing up as $10.00 for me, not free.
Re: Poll: What Other 'Classic Edition' Nintendo Systems Do You Want to be Released?
there already is a game boy mini, the game boy micro.
Re: Nintendo Download: 23rd June (North America)
Was hoping for a Sonic sale since today's the 25th anniversary of its release in North America. Oh well.
Re: Legend of Zelda 3DS HOME Theme and Miitomo My Nintendo Rewards Go Live
would have been cool to have the theme based on the new Zelda game.
Re: Nintendo Download: 19th May (North America)
Still no Sssnakes in NA?
Re: Sssnakes Aims to Add a Modern Touch to the Original Mobile Gaming Hit
actually looks kind of cool. I hope the "8-bit version" will be gameplay like the original.
Re: Guide: Getting Started With My Nintendo
Just as a note, I live in North America but I was still offered Flipnote Studio 3D for free (even though I already got a copy from club nintendo.)
I also got 30 platinum points for signing into my account on the official nintendo website, not sure if that was mentioned.
Re: LEGO Marvel's Avengers Season Ticket Goes Big With New Levels and Characters
There's an actual Radioactiveman? Always thought that was just a Simpsons character.
Re: Shigeru Miyamoto on the Development of Yoshi's Island
@Nintendian would be nice but doubt it, It hasn't been released on any virtual console yet, including Wii's. Not sure why. Star Fox hasn't either.
Re: Review: Pokémon Red and Blue (3DS / GB)
Wait. Why are the screenshots in this review in color? Aren't the VC releases just black and white?(besides Yellow) Might be kind of deceiving to people who might buy the game based on this review.
Re: Konami and Capcom Are Bringing Some SNES Classics to New 3DS

Re: Rumour: SEGA Teases More Information for Sonic's 25th Anniversary
looks like to me that the 4, 1, and 16 are a little bolder font than the 3 and 21. Maybe meaning april 1, 2016 and the 3 and 21 being something else.
