The whole point of Nintendo's mobile program is to get more people to get dedicated Nintendo consoles right? Therefore, I think 3DS and Wii U owners will get some sort of benefit such as being able to earn the 'premium currency' by playing on their dedicated consoles. The premium currency might be platinum points.
This is a bit off topic, but I don't understand why people want an AC game for Wii U. After playing New Leaf it feels like AC is a series that's meant to be played on the go.
@Moon Yeah, the fact that they're rotating confuses me.
Also, they better add achievements to 3DS and Wii U games that give you platinum points on completion. I assume they'll announce that in the next Direct.
For some reason, all my friends simply refuse to even download this game. It's getting boring really quickly, especially since I can't use My Nintendo.
I hope they bring back physical rewards. There was some really cool stuff you could get on Club Nintendo, but at the moment My Nintendo is completely digital-only. Physical rewards in my opinion is far better than measly discounts.
This is closer to Ingress than I was hoping...Seems to be focused around defending port-uh I mean gyms and not on training and establishing bonds with your Pokemon.
@DoctorOverbuild Yup. I knew that they would do that to get people to sign up to the service thinking that they'll get a head start over everyone else. Wow, I'm so jealous of the people who got 1 extra point
I destroyed my save trying to do the box change cloning glitch. They really do mimic the originals don't they -_- (except you can't do the trade method cloning glitch because of the way the multiplayer works)

Strange, injecting a Pokemon Red rom I found on the internet into a VC game via homebrew gives me a way better picture than the official Nintendo version.

@cyrus_zuo Do you have spare codes for any of the games you already had? I would greatly appreciate one!
Re: Humble Friends of Nintendo Bundle Offers Games at a Huge Discount
@PewnyPL It's not Humble's fault, Nintendo don't make any of their games region free. Luckily the bundle itself is for both EU and NA!
Re: Humble Friends of Nintendo Bundle Offers Games at a Huge Discount
@RainbowGazelle You're a nice guy!

Re: Video: This New 3DS Hack Allows You to Wirelessly Stream Video to PC
@andrew20 The hack that is used for this is unpatchable. Can't say much more than that due to community guidelines, so yeah.

Re: Three Legendary Pokémon Birds to Take Flight in the US in May
@Peace-Boy It's the May newsletter, so I assume May 1st (at least that's what the UK article says).

Re: Nintendo Is Ending DS Phat Repairs In Japan
This makes me want to repair my DS Lite (my first console) before it's too late. The shoulder buttons+mic have been broken for quite some time.
Re: Editorial: Miitomo is Surprisingly Strange and Compelling
For some reason, all my friends simply refuse to even download this game. It's getting boring really quickly, especially since I can't use My Nintendo.
Re: Junichi Masuda Reassures Fans on New Pocket Monsters for Pokémon Sun and Moon
@Krisi @Kirk It's MORE than 10. Junichi Masuda also said it jokingly, implying that there will probably be MANY more.
Re: Junichi Masuda Reassures Fans on New Pocket Monsters for Pokémon Sun and Moon
@HyrulianOfHyrule More like Gen 7 confirmed. Gen 6.5 has been deconfirmed.
Re: Feature: Breaking Down the My Nintendo Loyalty Economy, Again
I hope they bring back physical rewards. There was some really cool stuff you could get on Club Nintendo, but at the moment My Nintendo is completely digital-only. Physical rewards in my opinion is far better than measly discounts.
Re: Poll: What Do You Think of My Nintendo and Miitomo?
@crimsontadpoles Yeah, I hope they add game achievements that give you platinum points.

Re: Pokémon Go Field Test is Underway in Japan, Though Leakers Are Getting Removed
@Drache_Kaiser It's not the gamers' fault. It's whoever made the trailer's fault for misleading people.

Also, where's Flipnote Studio 3D -_-
Re: Feature: Breaking Down the My Nintendo Loyalty Economy
So people who buy physical instead of digital games aren't loyal? Because that's what this new "loyalty" system is suggesting.

Re: Review: Pokémon Red and Blue (3DS / GB)
I destroyed my save trying to do the box change cloning glitch. They really do mimic the originals don't they -_- (except you can't do the trade method cloning glitch because of the way the multiplayer works)
Re: My Nintendo Rewards Start on 17th March in Japan, Alongside Miitomo Launch
I only buy physical games, so if I won't get points for them I may as well forget about this reward system. Paying £10 more on digital just for some lame discounts isn't gonna be worth it.

Re: Talking Point: The New 3DS Can Revive the Portable Family With Help From Pokémon and amiibo
@Dankykong All I hope is that they don't use it as disguised DLC like most other games that use Amiibo.
Pokemon already has cards, and if some special cards have Amiibo NFC chips in them that would be cool. What could be even cooler is that they could also be used for the Pokemon TCG, which could get a lot more people into it.
