The update to use the Pro controller wired made me lol, not that it might not be useful, but just that they didn't think to include that in the first place when you actually connect the thing to the dock to charge in the first place.

Outsold by 1-2 Switch? Probably only because of clueless scalpers that bought up anything at launch. I'm sure this game will do better in the long run unless 1-2 Switch becomes a free pack-in.

Love my NES30 Pro, so I'll definitely grab the SNES30 Pro too.

Bought Warioware. Was thinking of Link to the Past on n3DS, but the screenshots look microscopic, and I already have it on Wii U.

Really surprised Nintendo didn't just do this themselves rather than leaving the door open to third parties.

These are so ugly! Would rather have just about any amiibo over these.

Steep interests me most because of the wingsuit flying and cool scenery. Might get Rayman Definitive depending on how many extras there are over Wii U. Mario + Rabbids has an amusing trailer but I'm not really interested in the game quite honestly.

I didn't have any problem understanding the Wii U was a new system, but I was massively disappointed by the Gamepad being the gimmick for the system. The one thing from the presentation I'll never forget is still hoping for one great final announcement and Reggie sending us off with the embarrassingly lame fireworks for Nintendo Land.

Highlight was beating a level 6 Hedlok in the final hour! The more I played, the more the game grew on me, and I'm so much more excited for it now.

I'd be willing to pay more for their subscription if they expanded beyond NES, although I guess they want to keep it affordable for people that just want modern online, but it would be cool if you could pay separately for subscriptions to catalogs for each of their systems.

I guess I'll pay for the first year and see how much I actually use it to decide whether it's worth continuing with it or not.

Way to get everyone excited to try to earn gold coins to be able to redeem for an amazing 10% discount, Nintendo!

I'll get the Pikmin DLC packs I don't have and the discount on the original Pikmin, assuming there's no better use for my gold coins by August. They keep promising Switch rewards soon, but it's been almost 3 months, lol.

So excited! I ordered a nes30 pro and it's supposed to arrive next week on my birthday. Finally I will be able to play Puyo Puyo Tetris with a proper D-pad, instead of the directional buttons on the Joy-Con or the defective joke of a D-pad on the Switch Pro controller.

No single player means it wouldn't be worth it for the few minutes I'd spend playing this with friends instead of something more fun like Puyo Tetris or Mario Kart, and I probably wouldn't pay more than $5 for this even if it did have single player.

Woah, I need to get one of these. I'm on my 4th defective Pro controller, and all I want is a working D-pad.

I like these times for NA at least. No middle of the night nonsense.

Considering packaging becomes garbage the moment it is no longer protecting the contents of the package, they're actually just selling garbage (or best case: recycling).

Facepalm.

This person bought the game and two Wii U systems, uses the game as it is without hacking it, and then Nintendo punishes the customer for glitches that are Nintendo's fault. I already gave up bothering to make levels for this game and traded it in, because it was too disheartening to hear of people having their levels removed. Gave up bothering with Miiverse too after hearing too many stories of people getting banned for no reason. Sometimes Nintendo really doesn't have a clue about how to treat their customers.

A lot of people have complained about the 3DS being hard to find in recent months. I wonder if this new 2DS will primarily be what Nintendo is stocking for the 3DS going forward. It makes sense to kill the 3D so the 3DS line has no advantage over Switch.

I'd buy that.

That number seems so low. I'm surprised they haven't sold closer to the number of Switch systems sold if not more, considering the number of great games they've released. I've already bought 4 myself.

If they're not going to include manuals, I guess at least explaining the controls is better than nothing.

I don't think the Tetris Company would ever allow them to re-release Tetris Attack because they don't want the Tetris name being used for anything that isn't Tetris.

I thought the NES Classic was just to fill the void between Wii U and Switch. Seems pretty dumb to move onto a SNES Classic so soon when they couldn't even meet demand for the NES Classic, and I'm not too sure why they'd want any cheaper new product stealing the limelight from Switch its first x-mas.

@Jaredfrogman I was using it in handheld mode already, but I tried putting it in the dock just in case that would magically work, but it doesn't work either way. I did dig out my old WEP router and it will connect to that, but obviously I don't want to be using WEP. Also, having weird issues with one Joy-Con suddenly refusing to work when it is attached to the Switch. I take it off, hit the sync button and it syncs, then I reattach it and it stops working again. Not too happy with this update.

@vgakvd Me too! I've tried restarting the system, deleting my wifi connection and setting it up again, and I simply can't connect to wifi even though all my other devices are still working.

Yeah, I'll buy that!

I seriously just want to finally know what's going on with Switch VC.

It's good, but I'm already getting sick of seeing the same 2 enemies too often, so 9 seems a little too generous.

The commercial made me laugh, as I've yet to run out of battery life on my Switch, and they made it seem like it was such a major issue. Product seems like overkill. I'm sure a few people will find this useful, but most of us don't game that long or don't mind using a charging cable.

Sweet! Just bought it from the Japanese eShop.

I wonder if warped systems could lead to scratched screens when docking; otherwise, it doesn't seem too major. Mine seems to be okay so far.

I love Punch-Out!! It must be time for the next one per decade release, especially after they've increased Little Mac's profile by putting him in Smash. Long live Little Mac!

What? It's not April 1st yet.

Got Metal Slug from the Japanese eShop yesterday and already beat it. With the price being slightly cheaper there and the games coming out earlier, I barely even bother shopping in my local eShop.

Lol, I've purchased 12 3DS systems in 6 years, so I guess that's one every 6 months.

It took me till the 4th hour before I stopped instinctively hitting the X button. I actually found it impossible to use the analog stick on the right Joy-Con while having my index finger up on the shoulder buttons, so I was forced to either play with motion controls on the handheld standing up so I could turn my body in circles instead of using the stick or use the more ergonomic Pro controller. I liked the Splashdown and it was fun to use it against groups of enemies camping out on one of my teammates trying to Super jump to me by pretending to run away and then come back just in time to splat the lot of them all crowded together.

My favourite way to play was handheld with motion controls, because I could stand and spin around and never have to worry about using the right analog or Y button. That way I could keep my thumb on the B button and not make the mistake of instinctively jumping with the X button. Plus, I never got confused whether I was facing my home base or the enemy base based on which way I was standing in my living room. Oh, and I loved sporting the hockey helmet with visor, lol.

@b_willers I played it on just the tablet with no Joy-Cons attached at all. I think I had to hit the power button to reach the home menu but it was workable.

@Dark-Link73 Yeah, it's annoying when you get the program to do its job and then the game admonishes you, but it's not that it wants a specific program, but a more general one that can handle various inputs. One person's solution should work for anyone unless they've changed the game from previous versions.

@Equinox I would just get him World of Goo for starters. It's the best of the bunch and has great replay value. Little Inferno is fun but doesn't last long, so I'd wait to get it on sale. This game would probably be too frustrating for an 8-year-old.

I have some programming experience, and I found the first half of the game pretty trivial. Usually I knew exactly what I needed to do but two levels towards the end gave me a headache trying to figure out how to go about them. The game doesn't really teach you so much as hand you the tools and expect you to figure out how to use them, and I feel like this game would probably be too hard for children that haven't learned certain mathematical concepts yet. I think the average non-nerd person that tries to play this game would probably be horrified by having to think as much as you do. It doesn't really feel like a game quite, but it is quite compelling wanting to figure out solutions. I did also like that I could just play this on the tablet with no controllers whatsoever for a different Switch experience.

Just measured the tablet, and it's 17.2 cm x 10.1 cm x 1.4 cm. Two of those dimensions fall outside of the parameters, so maybe those dimensions only apply to phones, and video game handhelds just aren't meant to be included in the ban.

I was hoping Arms would release earlier in May so June 23 could be more like the day Splatoon 2 launches.

Maybe your mum can play Zelda, but I can't imagine my mum handling a game with such complicated controls. She can play Minesweeper with a mouse and Wii Sports, and actually I was surprised I got her to play Bit.Trip Beat and like it, but even for me a game with this many buttons confuses me at times. Sadly, I think my mum would find 1-2 Switch more accessible than this.

Bought this from the Japanese eShop day 1 for 823 yen tax included (not sure why this page says 900 yen), and I don't remember any slowdown issues, but I also never played the original, so there may have been slowdowns that I assumed were normal and just didn't really pay attention to.

Third party support isn't as crucial as Nintendo actually having a good lineup rather than letting the system flounder like they did with all the game delays for Wii U. I'm actually quite satisfied with the number of companies making games for Switch so far though.

Soon we'll have more Neo Geo games for Switch than actual Switch games. Makes up for Nintendo dropping the ball on VC so far.
