Re: My Nintendo's New Year Rewards Add Some Fresh Discounts

MyNintendo is a horrible replacement for Club Nintendo. Club Nintendo for all its detractors actually offered decent stuff, including physical. Yeah codes were cumbersome but I don't even bother logging onto MyNintendo anymore though I keep hoping something decent comes along.

Re: Poll: The GameCube is 15 Years Old - Pick Your Favourite Games

Along with the SNES and Wii U it's my favorite console. Chibi-Robo and Gauntlet: Dark Legacy are missing though and they are two of my favorite games. I also went with Pikmin 1/2, Fire Emblem, and Luigi's Mansion but it's like picking a favorite child, extremely hard to do. For Japanese games Nintendo Puzzle Collection and Kuru Kuru Kururin are also very, very good. Lots of great games on this system.

We wants the red heads...

Seriously though some of these look great, Shantae, Stardew Valley, and Hollow Knight. I'm mostly interested in the Wii U stuff, likely my last home based console, but might pick up a 3DS game or two, Gurumin.

Mostly though I want an announcement for a US based Nindies Nintendo Selects retail line.

Re: EA Talks Possible Plans for NX

I haven't bought an EA game since the GameCube and those were the ones that featured Mario characters, SSX and NBA Street 3, plus Fight Night with Super Punch-Out.

As for current EA, they can in the immortal words of The Rock, take their game library, shine it up so it's nice and pretty, turn it sideways, and stick it straight up their candy asses.

@supercreeps stop them from doing what exactly? As long as they don't call it an NES or use any NES logos can do whatever they want. As mentioned the NES patents have run out and it's now open to doing exactly this sort of thing. I'm thankful a quality company who cares about the NES and its users was the one to market and sell this instead of someone just out to make money.

Star Wars Pinball for me but where are the rest of the tables on sale like the UK got? Why is it we sell more consoles but they get better things like Fatal Frame, 2 waves of Selects, SteamWorld and Fast Racing Neo on disc, and now all of these pinball sales. Grr...

Re: NSPCC Believes Pokémon GO is "Susceptible To Being Hijacked" By Those That Could Harm Young Players

Yes, like everything else I'm sure it can and will be used by the criminal element, and already has. Parents be mindful of what your children are doing and where they are. Sure they could put a message on it but most will ignore it. Use common sense like in any other situation and 99 times out of 100 you'll be just fine.

A public service announcement is fine and this can be used to teach kids about dangers and what to do. However to label the app dangerous is disingenuous at best.

Re: Review: 7th Dragon III Code: VFD (3DS)

I'm surprised to hear people actually use the 3D. I never have it on so that doesn't bother me in the least. Game play people, game play. It should always be more important then 3D or a visual, unless it's horrible, and it sounds like this has it in spades.

Re: Someone At Nintendo Expected The Wii U To Shift 100 Million Units

@ArcadeLove exactly, all one needs to do is look at something like Game Informer to realize this is true. I don't Iike that magazine since they have a clear bias and want for Nintendo to fail. If challenged on it they'll say some nice fluffy words but then they're back on the attack again. Or read IGN or any other mainstream video game site. The bias is clear and has been for a very long time. They didn't want to support the Wii but had to when so many consoles were sold. Most of them didn't like the GameCube or N64 either going back even farther. If one didn't know better you'd think a media conglomerate with an axe to gore owned all of the media sites.

I've got the Special Edition of TMS pre-ordered so as long as the new GameStop manager doesn't screw me over, he gave people's pre-ordered copies to others last time, I should be ok. After this purchase I'm boycotting the store since he drove all the great employees away.

There is too much I want coming or just released on retail in the past week to get anything on the eShop right now, nothing great there anyway.
