Glad to see the "CRABS" tag is living up to its name.

Be wary, thought, because there's just so much crab articles you can make before you crab out.

This could be really fun for kids. I am surprised how many people in the comments seem to lack imagination.

The only issue I have is that they talk about sending an invisible beam. But the Joy-Con has an IR camera and, as cameras are wont to do, it doesn't emit light, it receives it.

Nice that they've decided to condense and make one main event. Last year was pretty fun, but then there were some events people had completely no interest in. This time we could still get a short announcement in the show, and for those wanting more they could organise longer presentations later in the summer.

What do you call Phoenix Wright with no eyes? Phoenx Wrght!

@CheekyZelda what if he doesn't run that fast. He just runs like usual and loses every time. That would be hilarious.

As long as they make it at least remotely challenging, I'm in!

@redpanda0310 Can't wait for the British version, Autumn Blokes.

"We are also conducting a variety of studies, which include investigating ways to enhance our digital business, and future services that will help maintain long-term relationships with our consumers".

Studies like "Do NSO users want N64 and GC games on there?", I bet. Well, Nintendo, finish up your study already! Do the users want it or don't they?! Don't keep me in the dark!

Sounds cool, I'm in.

Next: Does Apple think its logo is a symbol of sin? What if it's dressed in a tuxedo?

So if I get both games as a package, it's a 16/10! NOICE!

Wow, that's really impressive, isn't it. It looked lovely, but for some reason I feared the game wouldn't do so well. Glad that the marketing push did well (I was surprised to hear ads for it on, like, a pretty obscure podcast about Japanese ghosts).

Will definitely get a the game in the future.

Nintendo Switch - THE BIGGEST pocket calculator in the world!

Whatever you say, nothing beats a blast of news like E3. Several days of new trailers and demos is an endorphin high few video game events can reproduce.

Plus, I always loved Treehouse demos with their gameplay footage and interviews with game creators. Nintendo rarely does this outside E3, so I welcome it for this as well!

Too bad there's no easy way to transfer Miis from the Wii to the Switch. I never had a 3DS, so all of my friends' Miis are stuck on the old Wii.

I think they could easily make a smartphone app that would scan your Mii onscreen and add them to your Nintendo ID.

Grandted, there's little need for that now, but I'm really hoping for more games that use the Miis (make Swiitch Party already!) and that would really come in handy.

"You are what the hipsters think they are." is a line for the ages.

But I'm definitely a Bugchild. I'm childlike and I have, like, SO many legs. Like, two. Not one, not zero. TWO, I say!

@carlos82 spot on. I'm thinking of starting a website BecauseNintendo.com that would list all the things Nintendon't... because Nintendo, lol.

@HotGoomba You wish. Nintendo's being Nintendo again, so I doubt anything besides sharing codes will be included. Otherwise your children might find a Jiggly Boobs Game on that trending games page, omigosh!

(yet a simple moderation staff could solve that problem in a second, without costing that much for Nintendo, I'm sure)

I hope Apple wins this one. Arguing that App Store's 30% cut somehow hurts Epic, while it's less that 10% of Fortnites revenue, with all those other platforms available as an alternative, is just ridiculous. Apple is in their own right to do as they please as a private company.

It's like complaining that paying taxes reduces your income. Yet we all do it, because its beneficial for us. The security of the App Store is one of iPhone's selling points. Allowing anyone to install any app they want will greatly compromise the security of the system, which in turn would drive people away from the platform, thus reducing the revenue Epic gets from iPhone users in the long run.

At least Apple has a clear motive (i.e. security & safety) behind them, instead of Epic's "WE WANT MOAR MONEYY" reasoning.

@nessisonett @Octane I would really urge you to give it a try. It felt really fresh when I watched it. It's like an old-school 70s/80s kids anime with its "lets go on an adventure!" vibe, but with some darker (okay, really dark) moments mixed in. Yet they all serve a purpose, and the emotional climax of Season 1 left me bawling my eyes out. It is an unforgettable experience.

Okay Kate, you seem to know things. So I gotta ask, the "PS Business Park" is where Sony execs meet to discuss release dates of TLoU 3 and Uncharted 5, right?

@Joeynator3000 @mariomaster96 With your comments side by side, I love watching your profile pics dance together, haha.

Honestly though, as someone who's messed with their fair share of node-based programming environments, this is the way to go, and a really intuitive method to teach young ones about the concepts of programming. With that fair price tag I my get this as well!

The Storming of Bastille in AC universe was probably just, like, a fishing tournament on the bridge. The rebels wore the funny hats and they won the tournament.

Then they all had tea and cake afterwards.

You're the man now, dog!

Whod'ha thunk a story about a boy choosing to spend time with his family doing a thing he loves would make the family-friendly Nintendo gamers spew so much hate and bile.

Diane, remind me to get this game.

It would be cool if they added Wii charm via Themes. Like, let me set Wii as my OS theme so that I'd have a Channel-like grid of games, music in the E-Shop and main menu, etc.

They could make 3DS and Wii U-styled themes as well.

But number one on my wishlist is definitely the Miis. Bring it all back: Mii Channel with all its weird creations, Everybody Votes, and of course some new games like Mii Party and Wii Sports. I get that Nintendo tried to distance themselves from it, maybe to seem less casual. But there's definitely a lot of Wii nostalgia brewing lately.

I'm, too, disappointed with the updates, yet I can't but find if funny. It is such a Nintendo move it's almost ridiculous. Make something almost great, and then... never deliver on the obvious. Forlders & themes? Nope. VC on Switch? Nope. Mario Kart or Mario Party DLC? Nope.

With the amount of money it's made them — both in ACNH and Switch sales — I find it incredibly hard to believe they couldn't just hire a bunch of talent to work on expanding the world. Never mind the huge updates. Just having a steady stream of content without much fanfare would be so, so beneficial. Just small background updates.

Like, why not hire a writer to write new lines for the characters? A couple people working on new clothes daily would mean at least several hundred new designs a year. Some items are interactive, while others are not. Why not keep adding? Give me the ability to ride a scooter one week, then kick a ball next week, then something else, like an animation to drink tea.

A years work like this would've made the the game 10 times better. But Nintendo is being Nintendo again, alas!

The Legend of Zelda: Dearth of the Wild

('cause it's all gonna be underground, haha)

No cheesing. Every time you lose, you'll get feta and feta.

Besides, being half mushroom and half man, he is a truly liminal being.

No love for Mr. Chapman, eh?

I will... TAKE THAT!

@Azuris Oh, man, I remember me and my friend getting REALLY scared when we saw heard the Butcher's "FRESH MEAT" for the first time and instantly got killed! (Granted, we were, like, 10 years old, haha).

But later I finished Diablo 1 fair and square, no cheesing!

There's a few shrines I still have no clue how to solve "correctly". There's one with two see-saws at the end. I think you have to use something other than Stasis on one of them, but I just fumbled through, hehe.

Really stoked, looks amazing. The NES games along with the 80s cartoons were huge with me and my friends.

I'm gonna give you some more food for thought with the following important piece of information. Russian search engine Yandex's colour picker places your hex value somewhere between "blue-gray" and "the coulor of VKontakte" (The latter being like the Russian version of Facebook blue, hah, clever.)

So there you have it. Or don't.

SILKSONG GET HYPE

Pros: You just drive a train.
Cons: You just drive a train.

10/10

Twist: her dating life is like Mario. (Dead.)

That tagline shows the might of the pen.

The nicknames make it sound like a host of eldritch terrors, the Great Old Ones praising a video game. Lol.

But when will NL get folders?? How long can you keep us waiting, guys!

Every time I see an article about MK Tour, I just get sad we don't get something like this in MK8 Deluxe. I would gladly buy a DLC pass to get regular updates like this.

Looks complex. To get good at this game one surely has to... train a lot.

If you own many consoles, you'll have to deal with ... SEVEN. DEADLY. Xs.

Objection! That is too darn expensive. But if we got the second trilogy on Switch for that price, I would... TAKE THAT!

I'm up for renewal soon. But I dearly wish it had some monthly freebies like PS Plus does, or at least a steady stream of older games. How long can they delay the inevitable N64/GC games, jeez...

@KateGray Really love your pieces, Kate! After I started reading this one I was like "wait, I bet it's Kate's, this one is gooood!"

The rumour I remember from my youth about Russian knock off Game & Watch units (styled after a popular Soviet cartoon) where you were collecting falling eggs, was that if you got like 1000 eggs, it would show you an episode of that cartoon. No doubt, I had many friends that tried to get to that cartoon! (That magic thinking... we were to young to realise that the capabilities of a Game & Watch would never be enough to show you a real cartoon, haha.)
