Just waffle from Mr. Bowser. Business language that doesn't mean anything. To me, this is just a way to push customers to digital and to kill the resale market. He also starts with "immediate future", meaning in the near future they'd like to stop continuing physical cards.
I am once again screaming into the void but this is a great chance to give Chibi-Robo what he deserves. It would be great to get the Sonic Adventure ports on here as well, among other games of course.
Not going to bother. I love BK and i backed Yooka on kickstarter. I appreciate they've taken on feedback but I'm not paying double for finally what looks like a more finished product. I always felt like it just didn't scratch the same itch either, I don't know if it was the art style, character designs, the fact it's a unity game, who knows? Something felt off. Maybe the lack of Gregg Mayles.
The library and form factor (plus the pro controller) do it for me. Sometimes I'm annoyed by the experience, or lack of previous features (Virtual Console, Street Pass, Themes, the Wii U menu to view games) but overall it's one of the best things Nintendo has put out. They really hit a home run, and then kept the success going for 8 years.
$112 for a vinyl (before taxes and shipping). I get this is somewhat of a niche product (although the game sold well), but come on. I hate getting milked as a retro game fan.
Not really sure this is enough for me to rush out and get one, unless they go crazy with the software. Bring back 3DS features like streetpass and themes, add Wii and GC to the virtual consoles (I can't believe they haven't utilized the Joycons for Wii emulation. I thought they worked great for the Mario Galaxy port), and add more native communication features to bring Switch online more in line with other online services. Nobody wants to use the phone app to talk with friends, and maybe add in achievements that tie into platinum points or something like that.
@PokemonDMG On that theme, I think it would be cool if Nintendo switched up these series in that way. Paper Luigi, Wario and Waluigi, Yoshi Microgames etc.
Arguably one of the biggest ever fumblings of a bag. Imagine A unified Playstation/Nintendo PS1N64, PS2GC, PS3WII etc. And the combined library of the 2, or having Nintendo made games at Playstation specs.
This is getting really unfair. I really wanted the N64 and GC keychains too. They've shipped gacha machines to the west for decades, why keep us out now?
This is a new low for milking BK fans. This is how far they'll go all while not signing off on a new game or remaster. I love BK and the mumbo transformations but give me a break.
One of the all-time greats. The games lineup was incredible, backwards compatibility with the GBA, wireless local and wifi play, microphone, touch screen, innovative design etc. The best Pokemon games are on it too.
I will get one but based on the leaks I don't see how it's that different from the switch. I'm hoping Nintendo will surprise me like they always do, unless this will be an upgrade like the Gameboy to the Gameboy Color
I'd buy most of this. It's really annoying the stuff I would actually buy as a longtime fan is only available in the Center in Japan. I don't want most of the stuff they have internationally, I like the retro stuff.

@JohnnyMind Found it - thanks!
Re: Nintendo Download: 23rd October (North America)
@JohnnyMind You're in EU right? Where did you pre-order a physical copy of Katamari? I couldn't see any physical pre-orders anywhere for EU.
Re: Gallery: Here's A Closer Look At The London Pop-Up Nintendo Store's Sweet Merch
Was really hoping they'd stock the gacha of the gamecube/N64 controller keychains but sadly it doesn't look like the case.
Re: Poll: Do You Think Nintendo's New Animated Short 'Close To You' Is Pikmin Related?
The movie studio called Dynamo that Nintendo acquired (now Nintendo Pictures) made those really nice looking Pikmin shorts.
Re: London's Nintendo Store Pop-Up Tickets Are Now Live
@SwitchplayerJohn Thanks for this. How did you find out? Is there a list of the products?
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Drag x Drive
I don't get why Nintendo made this. It looks like an Xbox live arcade game from 2009
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch 2's GameCube Library Next Week
Truly one of my favourite game experiences. I'm glad this is on the NSO and Korobo is in production. Very sad how this franchise was treated.
Re: Anniversary: Paper Mario First Unfolded On N64 25 Years Ago
One of my all time favourites. Perfect at what it is.

Re: Feature: Limited Run Talks Switch 2 Game-Key Cards, Huge Carts & Difficult Pitches
Unrelated but I preordered Penny's Big Break Away and Yakuza Kiwami from LRG and they've delayed the delivery 3 times

Re: Capcom Provides Update On Game Changes In 'Fighting Collection 2'
I still don't get how I can preorder this physically in the UK

Re: Gallery: New Pokémon Legends: Z-A Screenshots Give A Closer Look At The Upcoming Adventure
I wonder if we'll get Mega Feraligatr. Also the new battle style is something I've always hoped they'd implement.
Re: Gallery: Here's A Closer Look At The London Pop-Up Pokémon Center's Exclusive Merch
Pretty glad i didn't end up getting a ticket now. I went in 2022 and the London themed merch was great. This isn't bad, it's just a bit boring

Re: 'Sonic Jam' Skin Is Now Free For All Owners Of Sonic X Shadow Generations
This is great, I'd like to see more of this. I hate seeing really cool stuff like this locked away from late-comers.
Re: Surprise! Another 'Switch 2' Accessory Has Been Revealed
I wonder how Nintendo is feeling about all of these companies revealing their console?
Re: Physical Game Sales Took A Nosedive In The UK Last Year
I only buy physical. Times are hard though and I don't have as much cash as I'd like to buy games.

Re: Nintendo Store Tokyo's Latest Gacha Goodies Are A Range Of Zelda: TOTK Zonai Devices

@Zaruboggan You're lucky you have a copy. I lost mine years ago
Re: Mailbox: The Death Of GameCube, Mario Party Matchmaking, Tariffs - Nintendo Life Letters
Ribbit King and Chibi Robo from GameCube should be brought back from the dead
Re: Banjo-Kazooie "Washer Banjo" Revealed, Here's A Sneak Peek

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (23rd November)

Re: Pokémon Gold And Silver Celebrates 25 Years With Commemorative Plush
Are they bringing the other items from the Gold and Silver anniversary set to the west?
Re: Poll: Was The Nintendo DS Prototype Really So Ugly?
The launch version and subsequent models much better hit the overall clean aesthetic Nintendo had during the late 00's
Re: Rollercoaster Tycoon Classic Is Making Its Way To Switch Next Month
Physical release? Very pleased to see this classic on switch
Re: Feature: It's 20 Years Since The Launch Of Nintendo's Most Important Console
One of the all-time greats. The games lineup was incredible, backwards compatibility with the GBA, wireless local and wifi play, microphone, touch screen, innovative design etc. The best Pokemon games are on it too.
Re: Latest 'Switch 2' Rumour Suggests Nintendo Is Preparing For An Enormous Launch

Good chance I'll get this. I loved Chibi-Robo. I wish this game had a more expressive art style but it looks great nonetheless.
