Bought this on Wii U. Didn't like it enough to double dip but happy for those that want to, or didn't get to play the first time around. Don't mind Wii U ports one bit - if they can make some money back or entice fans to towards these games then I'm that's awesome in my eyes

3DS is fine for me. Looking forward to playing it this year.

MIA: Pikmin 4. I'm hoping Miyamoto's comments to the game weren't a mistranslation and that 'Hey! Pikmin' wasn't 'a forth Pikmin game'

The koopa is pretty cute.

I would rather the first Yoshi game made with the Unreal engine be a first person shooter but looks good. Damn good

@WaveBoy Nintendo logic: happy to essentially re-hash 2D Kirby again and again but won't make a new F-Zero because they apparently can't provide anything new.

They've really injected something special into Mario here. Didn't think it would work at first but they knocked this out of the park.

Is the second pack post game?

@mikegamer well there's been one on every home console Nintendo has released so...

I'll be honest: not sold on this. It looks beautiful and looks to be a proper 2D Kirby, but I was expecting the Kirby Switch debut to be a proper 3D title - and I think the developers sort of alluded to that in an interview a while ago. More of the same is good sometimes but I was expecting a new direction for this series.

This game looks absolutely insane.

I'll take it. Looks good.

Everyone and their grandmother has a Wii somewhere in a cupboard, or in their public bar or social club. This makes total sense to me...

I am a chicken. I give zero clucks about this...

Looks fantastic.

If it looks good, I'll consider buying it. If it doesn't interest me, I won't.

What is completely counter productive is taking time out to hit message boards and news story comments, dispairing that it shouldn't exist, or using expert judgement to decide it'll be rubbish, despite having not really ever seen any gameplay images.

I don't know how anyone else could feasibly market Skyrim for Switch. Skyrim on the go or 'here's another port of a 2011 game on a home console'. Switch is a hybrid console. It can be whatever you want it to be, and marketed whatever way. AAA titles taken anywhere is fair enough

Sine Mora costs £24.99 from Amazon U.K. and had been up for preorder for a while. If you purchase now then they'll have to honour that price

Inb4 someone comments on 'another port'.

Seriously though, these needs to be localised. Skip a Europe release for all I care. - I'll import

@SLIGEACH_EIRE please specify why you don't think so; if all of the Stars are aligned I can't for any reason see why not.

Hardly surprusing, this one. Revealing it at E3 adds to the 'too many ports' patter. Announcing it in a pokemon direct adds to the hype

They're sitting on the biggest game library of any of the three main hardware platform holders. They need to get over the idea of underselling it and make games the games like running water, always on tap. Charging like $10 for NES games is kind of ridiculous, as is making people pay thee or four times for the same game. It needs to be fluid and it needs to be constant

16,404 Japanese have more money than sense

It's not a problem for me. But scratches to my hardware are.

This is a bit of a missed opportunity for Switch. A Pokemon Rumble type game with dedicated amiibo support would likely be a pretty big seller

@Anti-Matter oh I definitely have an interest in any new Nintendo IP. I love the game's aesthetic and colourful palette. I'll persist and give it another go when the next TestPunch happens

didnt enjoy my 20 minutes of ARMS. I believe there was supposed to be a short tutorial at the beginning. Somehow I skipped through it. The description of the controls really didn't help with movement of your player. So I couldn't really move around and therefore kept getting beaten.
I couldn't do the tutorial so as said after less than half an hour I turned it off and didn't go back.
I might give the Test Punch one last try next week. I really want to like this, and support a new IP, but I don't fair (fare?) too well with competitive titles anyway because I'm usually a bit rubbish!

I don't know this series beyond the NES stuff but I'm struggling with this article - the link to a westernised version of said game seems a bit tenuous based on the tweet - sorry I don't follow.

All I got from my line manager is as a Switch... In role

Monster Hunter: Generation X. Calling it now.

The two games showcased are probably 'evergreen titles' since the tour goes on until December. There'll be a lot more games out by then. They're probably trying to capture the causal family gamer fan using these two titles. Other games will be promoted another way

I would very much like Nintendo to adopt this model for the Virtual Console/paid online. I think they will.

Another financial article, another use of that Kimishima/Mario horde picture.
Not complaining it's an awesome image. Someone funny needs to turn it into a meme

People see artwork and speculate 'maybe it'll be a good game'
Well from the promotional art and accompanying press release - seems like a 6 out of 10 to me. Be sure to read my hypothetical review policy.

People need to calm the f down. And I didn't really take to the overly negative bias in the article.
If people don't want to own this thus far hypothetical video game, vote with your wallet

I'm surprised this article didn't contain affiliate links; they usually do nowadays

Not played Echoes just yet as wanted to beat BOTW first which I finally did last night.
Still so much of Hyrule to explore but finally beat the boss.

when people understood the concept - and they were taken in by the much sexier DS Lite - Nintendo were into a winner

I'm a bit annoyed that the Starfox one is for kids only.

I loved Jet Force Gemini back in the day, but found the XBone port virtually unplayable. We have been spoilt by modern gaming, it seems, and some of those 64-bit games haven't really stood the test of time, unfortunately.

Colour me interested in this. But those non Sega games make this a slightly more tacky machine. I could just never play them but it sort of puts a blemish on proceedings.
I'm interested in playing the Phantasy Star titles though, which the previously iterations of the Megadrive lacked.

I can see it being free to play with micro transactions. They won't touch the Run model again.
As long as it's not 2D Zelda-like with awful touch screen controls I could get behind it.

Not tried this yet. What an ideal opportunity!

On the subject of the VC, I reckon this time they'll go for a two tier online play model, the higher of which giving users access to a full, growing library of VC titles; a similar model to Netflix, if you will. That's what I'm hoping, anyway.

Forgive my ignorance but is this an EA published title?

This really didn't look great when they showed it on Nintendo Minute.

I backed on Wii u and changed my reward to the Switch version quite blindly. Was going to pick it up for another format but the reviews put paid to that. I'm happy to wait on the Switch version knowing that it wasn't quite technically sound.

Interesting that there's the random Etrian Odyssey discount. Seems out of place

An excellent week all round for Ninty

@Moshugan have a read of the article again: it states Hero's Path will track the player's last 200 hours of gameplay
