@Markiemania95 I think I must have written 'Regi' so many times I couldn't see this obvious mistake! Corrected and thanks!

@Dizzymario I guess Yamask is a death mask, Cofagrigus is a sarcophagus - both are burial items associated with ancient Egypt, and the smaller of the two evolves into the later. To be fair, all elements of the Yamask design (shadowy hands, face, red eyes) are reused in Cofagrigus and both are overtly Ancient Egyptian in design.

It is one of those designs that you could see having a cut middle stage though, it's quite a dramatic change!

@linkover47 "those on the left and bottom of the room are essentially pointless (you must clear each one of enemies to be rewarded with a replacement key)"

So if you head back into the left door and kill all of the enemies there, you should get a new key.

@Lime2K Thanks for the feedback - I've added a note next to shell #6 and tweaked the wording on #14 (I think I must have blown the skull up much earlier than I thought to dig under it!)

@Bolt_Strike I believe the Witch actually encourages you to light the torch in her hut if you talk to her after she's handed over the powder... but I was about 5 dungeons in before I found this out

@Heavyarms55 Better late than never! We're trying to improve our provision for GO content in general as well as updating some of the lapsed guides.

I feel like Whismur spawns are an unfortunate casualty of the recent special events. Hopefully they'll be back to normal when the regional hatching event ends in a few hours = though of course, Gen 5 will be in the mix too!

Unnecessarily put out by the way they've got the Toki Tori collection aligned with the RIVE spine in the render (and vice versa).

These colour combinations really aren't doing it for me. Not that I need more than four Joycon

I have the BOTW Link Nendoroid and he needs a buddy. Hopefully, unlike him, she'll use those triforce privileges to get through customs without bringing a massive bill with her.

The 3DS version says I've played Space Harrier for nearly 34 hours since 2013. Honestly, I probably won't pick this version up - I can't imagine playing without the 3D effect, which was mesmerising (though perhaps they could have some kind of mode for the Labo VR?)

@stevedh Hey - I think I understand this and it helps out a little with replication. But I think it also doesn't easily solve the problem of tweaking items you've already placed in the world (as you have to place a second version of everything then delete the original?)

Nintendo ends Anti-Antipodean Animal Crossing policy.

@nofriendo Haha, amazing. Though I suppose I wasn't in that headspace because it's not really enough of a "new spin"

@Starcakes I think you're missing the big picture here: it was too hard to think of an adequately tortured pun using 'Order of Ecclesia' as a starting point.

@Kingrat Honestly, the conversation in question didn't register as particularly notable to me.

Bizarrely, 28 May was the exact date my current Pokemon Bank subscription expired. When I saw there was a new service announced this morning got a little worried I'd just renewed for no reason - remains to be seen whether that's the case.

Got to say, whether you call it Home or Bank, the service should 100% be a Nintendo Switch Online bonus going forward. It's cloud saving with a fancy name.

"Roy's our toy" is an open goal, surely

@EvrgrnCmln For me it was 20 hours to the point the credits rolled and the story finished - as stated in the review, there's more beyond this.

@Aneira @pbb76 Hi guys - this is the intention of saying "worst excesses". The game is undeniably repetitive by design, but it is my opinion (and honestly, not without some surprise considering that my reaction to pre-release media was similar to your own) that this repetition is not detrimental to the overall experience. "Looks repetitive in video" doesn't have a lot of bearing on how a game feels to play, basically.

Furthermore, layouts are reused for maybe 4 or 5 of the 15 exploration floors in a quest level. I mention this as feeling like a problem in the early game - though the proportion of reuse is technically the same, it becomes less noticeable because when you've seen hundreds of floors, older ones start to become less easy to recall.

i will say, I am anticipating some takes being harsher than this when they emerge from other outlets. I had the luxury of playing the game over about 2 weeks and it starts to get less fun the more you try to burn through quest levels to just get things done. May be more difficult to have fun and evaluate the full game on a tighter deadline.

Game deserves better

Face Erasure? PFFF. Give a little respect ToOooOOo me.

Something something facial animations, something something inferior graphical capabilities.

Superb stealth game. Shame it isn't a sequel, but if there are people who are yet to play it I'm happy for them.

Curious - why would a keyboard be enough of a selling point in the Japanese market to feature on the box? Is there some popular MMO we don't have?

If this was about just the tracks, maybe I could get behind it. Not to say that the tracks in the last game were terrible - in many cases they were excellent - but as a product it did feel a little bit of a jumble sale of old stuff. Furthermore, there's plenty of interesting material in the Sonic back catalogue to build interesting tracks out of.

But character wise... I'm less sure that I want to be stuck in a game with that lot. And I bet any group of four people gathered around a TV will struggle to find four Sonic characters they particularly feel strongly about.

Was there some kind of deal on Mario Kart 8 that's made it out-sell the other two?

Still can't justify another £50 for a battle mode :/

Kids love chocolate bars, so I'm assuming this is some kind Milky Way you can slot into where the joycons go.

@Mijzelffan The 'browser = hackers' explanation seems clever at first glance, but doesn't make an ounce of sense. The browser is effectively already in there in such a way that anyone with an agenda is going to be able to exploit it if it can be exploited. It's not like hackers are booting up their switches and going "oh fiddlesticks, there's no browser icon! Better go back to getting Doom to run on a thermostat!"

Wait, when did GBA Virtual Console on 3DS happen?

Makes sense but, moving it over to a coin cost per death mechanic is not necessarily a winner. Could make the game very grindy for certain players if not handled correctly (p.s. it will be handled correctly, it's Mario).

There's no way RH won't become a mobile game at some point.

Knowing not a lot about this series, I read this to mean that there's going to be an Apollo Justice game set in Korea, which I assume would be awesome, but then I have no frame of reference in the first place.

A boost up to four players going online would have been nice, though not a must-have.

FREE PUYO PUYO TETR--

Oh wait.

@FiveDigitLP The idea of Nintendo "stooping" to work with LEGO imitators is kind of amusing when you consider that they once manufactured their own rip-offs.

You don't just sell that many consoles like it's nothing. I'm going to guess there's some nuance of what he actually said that's not being reported.

"C-Tier 3DS Mario spin-off artwork gaffe" is my new favourite Nintendo genre.

@rjejr Wait for someone who actually does the legwork to find a source, but I'm pretty sure it was said that when external storage is added, the on-board NAND storage is just used for saves.

I can live with the console price - the pricing of software and accessories is what has kept me from pre-ordering. Especially the accessories: building a halfway workable collection of Wii U accessories was excessively expensive, and honestly a little confusing (fun fact: the full Wii U controller compatibility chart was the fourth language on the Rosetta Stone). I'm not ready to slap down similar money to get even less.

Knowing how inflexible Nintendo is with software pricing, I just don't know whether I have the will to constantly price watch to get games at something approaching the £30 I'm comfortable with paying for games. £50 to £60 isn't just competing with other game pricing, or nights out or entertainment. It's competing with the train fare to go and see friends and family for the weekend, for instance. So it's come to this Nintendo: you've made me feel old af.

Nintendo Switch's photogenic men are confirming something important: nobody looks attractive when sitting in an aeroplane seat.

Kid Icarus Uprising were all about the fancy guns...

"the company appears to be soldering on in the domestic arena"
Not sure if typo or vague hardware manufacturing pun...

Good old Nintendo, remembering the true meaning of Christmas had something or rather to do with stables or something.

Are any of these new information? I thought the pre-release videos already covered all of these?

I went in yesterday and our local GAME hadn't yet received codes. Now waiting a full week to go back so I don't look too keen

UK wise - Base.com £31.49

Regarding GB/GBC compatability: Track down Goomba Color. It's an extra layer of inconvenience on a flashcart you're specifically buying for convenience's sake, but it's better than nothing. Means you can play on the GB Micro too.

Chikorita, you and I know
How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they're leaving...

Hmm. Sounds like a good player 3 and 4 controller option then.
