I once had Star Letter in both ONM and NGamer in the same month, what an achievement..
Long for the days of print mags again. I'll be sorting subscriptions for Nintendo Force and Switch Player when I get home.
Got complete collections of ONM, NGamer and nRevolution - hunting down the remaining ONMs (I have 1, 2, 3, 4, two odd ones and then 89-the final one, with the exception of 128).
Any help tracking them down would be much appreciated!
Also, my background is in writing, and I edited a magazine for a year last year, so if anyone from the above magazines is reading, feel free to get in touch if you need contributions!
Got Yo-Kai Watch for Xmas but not had the chance to play it yet. Have been watching the series and collecting the medals, medal moments and other merch though. Looking forward to these.
As I'm currently collecting every game on every Nintendo console, plus all amiibo, Animal Crossing amiibo cards, Kid Icarus cards and Yo-Kai Watch medals, why not add these in too...
@electrolite77 Yeah, but EA bringing out fully-fledged games would have helped the Wii and Wii U to no end, as casuals wouldn't need to buy the more expensive other formats to play FIFA, which is a system-seller to the majority of console buyers.
The third parties ARE to blame - a console won't do well if they don't bring their games to it!
@djtwenty9 Physical. Occasionally crashes on the load screen, but very very rarely once I'm beyond that. I've found that has happened with FIFA going back as far as the Gamecube.
Want it from the Nintendo UK Store. Bit disappointed that there's been nothing like the New 3DS Ambassador Edition announced that can go to their most loyal customers.
It's been good when it's worked. Sadly my phone just isn't strong enough internet wise to be able to maintain the connection. Getting a new phone soon - hopefully that'll have more success.
We also had confirmation of RISE: Race to the Future months back from IronFall. How many times does Dragon Quest XI need to be confirmed?!!
List I've been keeping:
The Legend Of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Just Dance 2017 RISE: Race To The Future Dragon Quest X Dragon Quest XI Unnamed Zoink Game Mario Kart 8 Switch (Working Title) Elder Scrolls: Skyrim Switch (Working Title) Super Mario Switch (Working Title) Splatoon Switch (Working Title) Basketball Switch (Working Title) Unnamed Blizzard Game Unnamed Image & Form Game
As long as GAME doesn't contribute to the console's failure or putting stumbling blocks in front of it like they did with Gamecube, Wii and Wii U. Stop hiding the Nintendo section in a tiny corner of the store, use more kiosks, and try some more competitive pricing!
@impurekind Please stop going on. You just want something for free. You don't want to pay. You can pull all kinds of long winded excuses about legality out of the cupboard, but at the end of the day, you and other emulator users are freeloaders who will never experience games in their original forms.

Re: Isaiah TriForce Johnson and Captain Nintendo Dude Get in Line for the Nintendo Switch Launch
I've watched a few "Captain Nintendo Dude" videos in recent months and find him a really annoying bloke.
That being said, I have a hefty Nintendo collection myself and wouldnt mind doing my own channel!
I stick to NintendoCade and CinnamonBoni so far for my YouTube Nintendo fix, alongside AVGN, MetalJesusRocks and of course, Nintendo Life.

Re: Nintendo Forces Us To Think Differently, Says EA's Patrick Söderlund
@Lilith93 It's that sort of crappy attitude which results in us getting crappy games.
Re: Nintendo Forces Us To Think Differently, Says EA's Patrick Söderlund
I say this every year, but as a Nintendo-only player, it's been shocking how we've been dismissed by EA.
I used to love growing up with the N64 and Gamecube FIFAs, with FIFA 07 the last one that matched the other console's efforts.
FIFA 13 on Wii U was great, but anything in-between (ie, on Wii) was a disgrace.
Please EA, please, just give us the same as the other consoles: Manager Mode, all the teams and players, and Ultimate Team.
To have that on the go, you'd make millions.
Respect the Nintendo fanbase!
Re: Here's How Dragon Quest Heroes II On Switch Shapes Up Against The PS4 Version
Doesn't matter, I'll be getting it on Switch and not Playstation.
Re: Constructor Will Be Building Up Hype On Nintendo Switch Launch Day
Good! Another title for my Switch collection.

@nab1 Nope, won't til it's on the Nintendo site.

Re: EA's Peter Moore Insists FIFA Switch Is "Custom Built" Following Last-Gen Engine Rumour
So, so important that we get a full version this time around. FIFA is a system seller for so many casual gamers.
Re: EA's Peter Moore Insists FIFA Switch Is "Custom Built" Following Last-Gen Engine Rumour
@djtwenty9 I also have the Wii U FIFA, and it's actually rather good. Just a shame they abandoned the console.
Re: Guide: Deals and Pre-Orders for The Nintendo Switch, Games And Accessories
Not sure I'll switch my pre-orders to Argos just for a combined £10 saving on the console and Zelda. Happy to keep my place in the Nintendo UK queue.
Re: Zelda and Bokoblin Added to Breath of the Wild amiibo Range
Relax people, no way it'll be £70 by launch day...
Re: Guide: Where To Pre-Order The Nintendo Switch, Games And Accessories
Not live on Amazon just yet by the looks of it...

@DanteSolablood Nintendo UK confirmed it on twitter.

Still play every day. Not got a bad word to say.
Re: Feature: Ten Classic Games Which Would Be Great To Play On The NES Mini
Had a chance to buy a mint boxed copy of Duck Tales in a nearby retro game store a few weeks back and stupidly turned it down.
Did go back to get Solar Jetman the following week, though.
Re: Nintendo Download: 12th January (Europe)
For someone who's trying to collect as many of these games as possible, it's nice to have a more manageable amount of games to pick up, I guess...
Re: Three New Nintendo 3DS Bundles Heading to Europe on 26th June
As a Nintendo collector, I've started going after every New 3DS (standard size) bundle since the Christmas eShop sale.
The Pokemon Alpha Sapphire one here wasn't even in the sale, and the Xenoblade one sold out quickly, so I missed it.
Can't find them anywhere now!
I was lucky enough to get the Monster Hunter one, though.

Re: Nintendo UK Has Begun Contacting Switch Hands-On Event Winners
Wonder if there was a criteria for choosing people, or if it was just totally random...
Re: Nintendo UK Has Begun Contacting Switch Hands-On Event Winners
@G0dlike I'm in the same boat. Mega Nintendo collection. Gutted!

@ULTRA-64 Never ever had a problem with them.
Meanwhile, I ordered the Dragon Ball Z New 3DS today, which Ive had my eye on for a while.
Due to be delivered tomorrow!
I've really gotten into collecting Nintendo consoles and variants this year, but I havent got any of the five (apart from Dragon Ball now!)
Gonna be expensive but I'll get em! Just hope they don't sell out before I can...

Re: Pokémon Sun and Moon Magearna Distribution and Movie Screening Details are Confirmed
Just to clarify what could be confusing in the UK section:
Volcanion Movie Saturday 12:30pm on CITV
Eps 1 and 2 Sunday 12-1pm on CITV. These are the full episodes, not just sneak peaks!
Set those Sky+ HD boxes/Virgin Media boxes!

Re: Nintendo 64 Emulator Unceremoniously Yanked From Xbox One Store
@Lucina Lucina absolutely nailed it on the head. It's about a lack of a moral compass. A blight on the gaming industry. A sense of entitlement.
