Does your Mario voice come to you naturally at first?

Got a code. That was easy.

Good luck guys.

Is it me, or has Europe only got 5 events?

Time to get that White Fatalis LS...

This mon is gonna break the meta.

But he died so young...

It would be cool to see Nintendo go back to its powerhouse roots...

I think Bethesda announcing Fallout Shelter actually built up some hype for their upcoming main series game, and kept momentum. Unlike EA, they didn't dedicate an entire section to it. Also, since it was released right after the conference, it had a very successful launch, overtaking Candy Crush Saga on iTunes. Not saying Nintendo should have done the same thing, but it's something that all companies should take home from E3.

Nintendo aren't even focusing on their original plans for amiibo. Smash Bros is still the only title in 7 months to use amiibo correctly. All they're doing now is "tap it onto the gamepad and you power up" or something like that. A quote from Bill in the E3 2014 amiibo trailer: "Even if both you and your friend have a Link amiibo, they won't be the same". That's a concept Nintendo are failing to approach. If both me and my friend by the Super Mario Maker amiibo, they will be EXACTLY the same. To be honest, it's just like putting £20 worth of DLC into a game for something not worth anything near that amount.

Amiibo is becoming overpriced day 1 DLC hidden behind cute figures. An entire game where you can only play using amiibo? That's the actual price of the game+4 amiibo.

Metroid without Samus? What's next, Zelda without Link?

Starfox looks cool. Nintendo with da barrel roll memes...

Super Mario Maker...Super Mario Maker...Super Mario Maker...seriously, way too much footage of this game. At least make it for 3DS...

Paper Mario x Mario and Luigi? Looks interesting...

Wait, is that it? What about Pokemanz? Pikachu? WHERE ARE YOU PIKACHU!?!!?! Seriously, no new Pokemon game? What are you thinking Nintendo/Game Freak...

Game Freak better make the next pokemon games harder. The lack of an easy/hard mode ruined the story of OR/AS for me. That, and the lack of the Battle Frontier...

Talking about Nintendo UK marketing in general, they need to increase the number of ads they put on TV. And, when they do put ads on, they should be more than 10 seconds long.

Now, compare an American Nintendo Direct to a European one. The American one is clearly more flashy and fun, while the European one just has a white background with Shibata/Somebody else talking. And, while Nintendo UK's ads don't "directly" (see what I did there) reflect their directs, it still gives you an idea of how unimaginative the ads are (not saying UK directs are bad or anything-just less flashy than the NA ones).

tl;dr Nintendo need to up their game and make their advertising more imaginative.

This is Meownster Hunters GX+. Cute palicoes, Animal Crossing DLC. 10/10 Day 1 buy.

ALL ABOARD THE HYPE TRAIN TO YUKOMO!!!

"11pm UK time". This is why the global testfire should be over DAYS, not HOURS.

I think Nintendo should do what other big games companies are doing, and make mobile tie-in games that unlock rewards in the console version, and vice versa. Now THAT would be cool.

Kombat Kore anyone?

Great name. I got confused with FALLblox when I saw this game. Nintendo, once again with the confusing names for their consoles AND games

@allav866 The DS gimmick was awesome, but I was talking about the gamepad more...

To modernise and make this platform successful, Nintendo needs to include one or more of these things:

1. A cloud sync system (like Steam, XBlive, etc)
2. Better online functionality in games like Smash (voice chat, no having to add people to your friend list so you can play with them, etc)
3. A better Youtube program (this will generally increase sales of the new console and Nintendo games- a must!)
4. A less gimmicky controller for their new console...

Double negative in the subtitle...

Phew. I thought we weren't getting the MH HOME menu theme cause America got it before us

@ollietaro It's a high rank quest to get the star rook armour and starlight CB. The G rank version is called star knight and has an SnS to match it. But that won't be coming for a little while :/

If star rook is released this month, then star knight should be released in July. So anybody who doesn't have the set yet should probably just go on reddit and look for people who have the quest if they can't wait 2 months.

@TrueWiiMaster Because kids don't exactly buy stuff from real salesmen...

Way too much paid DLC for a Nintendo game. They were always good with their DLC; they either had free DLC or DLC with great value. £3.60 for one fighter is NOT good value. At this rate, you will be forced to pay so you can keep up with the meta. Smash is gonna become p2w.

They should make their times better for people here in the U.K. Who is expected to stay up till 11pm to watch a Nintendo Direct? The times have been the same for the past 4 or 5 broadcasts, and it's annoying missing live information.

I've been playing for 150 hours+ and can't stop playing. Using Charge Blade and currently at G-Rank.

I've already caught Mewtwo...by cheating of course...

GET YOUR STOCK TOGETHER NINTENDO. YOU STILL DON'T KNOW HOW TO PRODUCE ENOUGH.

Shagaru Magala 2easy4U. 4U? Get it? sarcastic clap.

I caught Mew on my first try. It had less than 50% catchability.

@LasermasterA At least the loading times aren't as bad as Smash...Anyway, I've just clocked 45 hours into MH4U, and I just can't stop playing. I've completed the main story (I assume Shagaru Magala was the 'final boss' right?), but their is so much more. After the main story, you get to do High and later G-rank quests, which provide at least another 500 hours...

@mantez If that is the case, than each amiibo 'pack' should cost about $4/£3, as that is the price of most trading card games. Wait a minute...Trading card games! Nintendo need to make way more amiibo and make it into a TCG. But I don't know how that would work with all the data storage stuff.

Link also seems to be the most played character online in Smash...

Expeditions are so fun; one time I had to hunt both a Great Jaggi and a Kut-cu at the same time! One thing to note is that by default, only 2 different monsters (large/small) will appear on Expeditions. However, if on the Expeditions menu it says that the environment is 'Unstable', then up to 5 different monster types will spawn. You can also find Rusted equipment by mining (but it is very rare), which could be more or less powerful than the one you make yourself! (e.g. Say Hunter's Boots has 10 defence by default, but you can find Rusted Hunter's Boots on Expeditions which could have 21 defence!) Unlike Quests, you don't have a time limit/death limit before you lose. Also, you won't be given things like First-Aid Meds, so be sure to come prepared!

Help! When I searched for dlc in my house, nothing came up! I have the update and everything! I live in UK. EDIT: Forgot to go to Gift Area Whoops!

@Ads3500 You can't forget Galaxy 3D.

Ugh...All the new features are amazing, but I'm still shocked at the fact it's £180. It's really annoying, considering the fact that most of the games coming out this month really rub in your face the fact that they will have better control with the C-Stick, better 3D viewing, etc on the new models. Also, why do Nintendo UK always use that same damn annoying music in every video they make?!

@ikki5 Heard of 80 Days, but the rest just sound like your average mobile game. BAFTA run by IGN confirmed

This is coming to be one of the best eShop games on the 3DS imo. Wasn't a fan of the slow combat from SD:SW, but I think Ironfall will appeal much more to me as a 3rd person shooter.

Nintendo, I think you forgot something with this update...MEWTWOOOOO!!!!

It's been 3000 years...Flipnote Studio 3D

Nintendo 3DS day is Friday 13th. ILLLLUMIN-lol. I don't really want to spend another £130 on a New 3DS XL (and I really don't want the smaller model), so I hope I can get a CPP for all the awesome new games that use the C-Stick. Really wish there was a decent send-in program (GAME's one sucks).

Haven't got one yet, as I don't go out that much. Hopefully they'll distribute it another way.

At least Americans will get thing damn thing. Us Europeans have to wait until the new rewards program is released, which is probably in about 2 months. We don't even get any final rewards to buy. And you don't even have the choice to buy games. Really hope Nintendo up their game in Europe with the new program.

@Gridatttack You have 6 pokemon in a team, not one...Perhaps a Lando-T could fit in well.

@super08mario Flash Fire does not suck at all. Imagine a Choice Specs Flash Fire boosted full HP Eruption. GG.

@Great_Gonzalez ikr, Apparently all we like is CoD and FIFA...
