Please, can you stop forcing us to go to stores when you can just distribute it over wifi. I don't recall any ORAS event so far except for Diancie that wasn't distributed by code. I thought the code feature would be used to give specific people event pokemon, e.g. when they win a competition. The fact that they're using it as their main way of distributing pokemon is dumb.
Amiibo here, amiibo there...Why are people excited about having to pay extra for content that should be in the game anyway...Nintendo haven't had a single game except Smash where they've actually used amiibo in a unique and cool way.
My 3ds XL is definitely beginning to show its age. I think in 2016, it will become too slow to have anywhere near decent loading times for most games and I'll have to invest in a New 3ds XL.
Man, I remember when this thing was announced at E3. You saw HD Animal Crossing graphics and you were like "Yay! AC for Wii U!". And then you saw the board game tiles and you were like "okay..." and then you realised that it was just a board game spinoff to AC. But lets face it, the 3DS is a much better platform for games like AC. I guess it would be cool if you could play on your 3DS and then when you come home put it on the TV screen in HD. But anyway, that moment in E3 was the worst. In general, the chat was better than the stuff being shown.
It is kinda dumb though, what's the point of having 2 consoles with similar specs, and the only reason you'd want to buy one over the other is the exclusives! (PC Masterrace)
Don't worry, the NX is bound to be totally innovative after the grand minds at Nintendo patent a Wii U mini and a full touch based controller. I'm so excited to see if actual console's massive innovations and spec will have 3rd party developers drooling for it! (Please no, Nintendo. Please.)
It's great that Nintendo often give this game away for free at Christmas. It means everybody can enjoy this masterpiece! It also shows of the 3D effect very well (sorry 2DS owners).

More confirmation of SMM for 3ds? Probably not, but there is hope!
Re: Red Fly Studio is Trying to Resurrect the Cancelled Nintendo Exclusive Darth Maul Game
@Senate_Guard Hey, Battlefront's not a Battlefield clone just because they're both made by DICE.
Re: Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate Passes Four Million Global Sales
Not to be an elitist, but with many sales comes many noobs, which really ruins the online for me.

Re: Nintendo Drops Out of Interbrand 'Best Global Brands' Top 100
It's simple, really. How to Nintendo:
1. Cloud gaming platform
2. More AAA 3rd party support
3. More powerful, less innovative consoles.
That being said, if they did just that then it would literally be a PS4 with a Nintendo logo on it lol.

Re: Talking Point: Star Fox Zero's Delay Could Be The Final Nail In The Wii U's Coffin
Don't worry, the NX is bound to be totally innovative after the grand minds at Nintendo patent a Wii U mini and a full touch based controller. I'm so excited to see if actual console's massive innovations and spec will have 3rd party developers drooling for it! (Please no, Nintendo. Please.)
