Yes, please! That would be awesome!

I would prefer not to have the option.
I would much rather developers make the game the best they can, with the best performance and the best graphical quality they can get without the performance dropping off.

I hate being given the option because it just leaves me feeling I am missing out. If I play in performance mode I know that the game could look better but if I play in quality mode I know that the game could run better and more smoothly, so it is the worst of both worlds!
Far better in my opinion to not have the option and let the devs do the best they can with the hardware.

I genuinely was not a big fan of either, but I found BotW at least pretty enjoyable, whereas I absolutely hated TotK to the extent that I persisted with it for a few hours, but the had to stop as I was just not having any fun at all.
Perhaps I am just the wrong sort of person for that sort of game, but I really hated the overly open nature of it all, with dozens of different ways to accomplish every task. I like it when there is one (or a small number) of solutions to a problem, a specific item I need to use or a certain skill I need to do in order to get last an obstacle rather than just a load of possibilities, none of which feels like the "right way" to do it.

I am sure for someone who loves getting a big box of random Lego pieces and putting them together into some random design, the game is an absolute treat, but for someone like me, who enjoys following the instructions to make a specific Lego model, the game is borderline unplayable as it just feels like everything I do is wrong!

Also, I really do despise limited use weapons, especially when they have such low durability!

Personally, I am really not enjoying TotK.
I liked BotW, but it was by no means my favourite in the series, but TotK pretty much takes everything I did not like about BotW and either leaves them the same or amplifies them.
The weapon durability I absolutely hate and always have.
The horse-riding I really hate too. Just feels like I have very little control over the horse and calling it to you is annoying compared to just calling it from anywhere (like in Ocarina by using Epona's song).
Fusing weapons is annoying, because you cannot unfuse weapons and refuse them to new things and the aforementioned durability makes it extra frustrating when you fuse yourself a good weapon, only to have it break shortly after!
I hate all the building stuff. I loved the Zelda series and I have no interest in playing Minecraft, so I really am not a fan of all the sticking bits together mechanics.
The combat feels really off to me for some reason as well. Indo not know if it is because I have become a bit more used to more "Souls-like" combat in the past few years ( it played BotW since it first released), but the combat in TotK feels really clunky and dull to me.

Yeah, generally just really struggling to get into the game and I do not find myself at all compelled to carry on playing, whereas even BotW, despite not loving it as much as some others, I still always wanted to get back to playing whenever I was not playing it!

Maybe Zelda has just evolved into a series I do not love (or even really like) anymore like I used to... Sad for me, but if more people are enjoying it then I supposed it is good for them (and Nintendo).

Yes, yes, yes!
Day one purchase for me. I love the GBA Castlevania games.

I have no interest in the WarioWare games. I would love a new Wario Land game though. Maybe something in the style of New Super Mario Bros, but with Wario, or Super Mario 3D Land/World style game.

Personally I would really like to see a Breath of the Wild style over world, but combined with more traditional Zelda dungeons and progression with specific items (e.g. Hook shot) unlocking access to certain areas.
I really liked BotW, but I definitely missed the proper dungeons and item unlocks from traditional Zelda games.

Hopefully Nintendo are issuing a take-down notice, then hiring the team behind AM2R and then having them release an official Metroid 2 remake. After that the same team can start work on a new 2D Metroid game!
Am I being too optimistic?

I actually struggled quite a bit with this game when I was a kid (I was 5 or 6 when the game came out) and I gave up playing it until a few years later when I finally completed it , so I would never have thought of it as being "Too easy."

It is a really great game in my opinion, definitely up there with some of the best 2D Mario games, and it introduced Wario, who then went on to star in another great series of platformers!

Actually...
Hey Nintendo, bring back the Wario Land series!!

Awesome news that Fire Emblem will be coming to smartphones.
I could not really care less about Anima Crossing, but I am happy that Nintendo are going to be putting some actual games on mobile.

Great that it is available in Europe this time!
I thought the last bundle was slightly better, but this still has some good games and I am going to support it just on principle to encourage more of this sort of thing from Nintendo!

I find it a bit ridiculous that the points expire after only six months. I would have thought that at least a year would be more appropriate. That is how long the star points used to last on Club Nintendo.

Wow! The UK version really is pretty crap compared with the US one.

On a positive note, I like that you receive the number of gold reward points based on a title's original price, not its discounted price (e.g. I bought Star Fox 64 yesterday for £1.50, or something like that, as I already had the game on the Wii and I still received the 10 gold points for it!).

Why are these not available in the EU?!

More importantly why are the Wii U Nintendo Selects that are available in the EU not discounted at all?
Wind Waker HD and Pikmin 3, for example, are both still £49.99, despite being listed as Nintendo Selects titles. That is how much they were originally; where is the discount?!

I would hardly call Twilight Princess in any way unique being released on three consecutive consoles. Ocarina of time released on four consecutive consoles and also on a handheld (N64, GameCube, Wii VC, Wii U VC and 3DS). A re-release of Twilight Princess would be nothing new for a Zelda game!

Why does Nintendo hate Europe so much?!
First the Humble Nindie Bundle region lock fiasco and now the eShop sale that sees Europe get about five games discounted while America has about 40!

I certainly hope that more eShop bundles come in future and I hope that this current bundle and any future ones are distributed globally.
I do understand that there are different licensing deals in place in the various territories, but it seems like it should not be an insurmountable challenge to have the bundles be as widely available as possible. Surely the clear demand for this bundle in regions outside of America is proof enough that people want it so it is clearly worthwhile making the effort!

I think releasing Star Fox 2 on the Wii U virtual console would be the perfect lead-in to Star Fox Wii U's release.
Release Star Fox 2, then release Star Fox U a month or so later; maybe even have a whol month of Star Fox releases and discounts, starting with Star Fox 2 and culminating in Star Fox U.

I do not mind if Nintendo does not bring any new SNES games to the Wii U VC, but I do hope that they at least continue to re-release SNES games that are available on the Wii VC for the Wii U VC. There is still a large number of SNES games that I can play by going into Wii mode on the Wii U, but I would much rather pay the £1.50 to instead play them on the Wii U.

Some really great stuff on offer. Quite pricey (in stars), but still great.
More stuff like this in Club Nintendo's successor would be very welcome!

If Nintendo are going to go down the route of tiered pricing based on past purchases, I hope that it take past Club Nintendo activity into account. I have been using Club Nintendo since 2002 and I would hate for all of that loyalty to count for nothing in a new system.
