Re: Another Nintendo Switch Online Seven-Day Free Trial Is Now Available

Possibly-fingers crossed here! This could be sign of the Zelda TOTK Direct. Possibly there will be online play in the game and people on the free trial will decide to keep it after playing what is already offered especially when they see it’s required for the online play in the new Zelda game? I know it a reach but it’s exactly what I thought as soon as I read the headline. Fingers crossed!-Especially for TOFK online!

Re: Review: Hey! Pikmin (3DS)

It looks like something fun and different for a couple of decent plays. I'm not shocked though, shaken up and downscaled from the usual formula. They did an impressive job with the textures, but the gameplay and ideas look like short fun. Still might pick it up.

Re: Fan-Made "Mega Maker" is Releasing Next Week

I never hear anyone mention how you could enter a cheat code in the beginning of the Sega Genesis Sonic the Hedgehog and have very limited access to the in game set pieces. The mode would allow you change Sonic's character into many different objects like swinging platforms, enemies, springs, rings, ect. It would then let you place them anywhere you wanted. Another cool feature is that you could move the character anywhere on the screen. This made getting the chaos emeralds a joke. I'm not one for cheating, I've played the game through free on beginning to end more than any other game I've ever played. But something about being able to do that in that game was so much fun. I don't know why more developers don't implement this idea more often. Anyway, anyone that's never had the opportunity should look up the code(because I forgot) and give it a shot. You'll spend the rest the playing the game and will come back to it every day for the next couple of weeks.

Re: Amazon UK Reduces SNES Mini Orders to One Per Customer

@SLIGEACH_EIRE
I completely agree. As soon as I saw this article I figured either Amazon UK realized they sold more than they were allotted, or Nintendo told them they weren't getting as many as expected. Either way, they could have had this stance from the get go in for they wanted to.

Re: Editorial: The Frustrating Quest for a SNES Mini is Bad Business for Nintendo

Stop sucking Nintendo. They damaged their brand with me time and time again. They wrote the the book on controlling inventory and creating stock shortages. They've caught lightning in a bottle so many times with the hype and they're horny as hell for more. This is exactly what they want. They are the experts. Bad Customer in the long run. Stop sucking Nintendo.

Re: Video: Check Out This Nintendo Switch Joy-Con Mod for Those With Grown-Up Hands

I'm waiting out for Switch XL. You know it's happening. That's the Nintendo way. They have done it forever with portables. Let's be honest. A bigger screen along with bigger Joy Con is inevitable. I figure Nintendo might have considered making sure this edition wasn't too big that way current Switch owners would even consider pickup up a a second one or trade in for one. Seriously, Nintendo is absolutely going to release an XL.

Re: Poll: Are You Excited About Nintendo at E3 2017?

remlapgamer

I don't do tattoos but if I did it would definitely involve Nintendo. With that being said, I am strangely excited about Microsoft revealing Scorpio. I love it when a company gets somewhat shown up and responds the way they seem to have. I believe the fact that to the PS4 what slightly more powerful than XboxOne really had a negative impact. Microsoft is probably building a monster, and not that I'm interested in buying one. Just like to see what they have come up with.

Re: Poll: Nintendo is Keen on 'Social Competitive Gaming' on Switch - Are You Game?

@SLIGEACH_EIRE
It's hilarious how many people complain about not having voice chat while online gaming, but I think it's almost impossible to find anyone that's​ glad they don't. I'm sure they are out there but the exposure kids have to awful language and God knows what else is at an all time high. Parents would probably applaud that there child actually socializes by speaking at some point of the day instead of texting or messaging for once. If they are too young or worried about them talking to predators and not handling appropriately, then turn off voice settings. Problem solved.
This issue really holds Nintendo back because tons of children would rather play Xbox/PS4 just so they can socialize.

Re: New Nintendo 2DS XL Announced, Releases 28th July

remlapgamer

@Nintendoforlife
Switch Mini will happen and also probably an XL. Nintendo practically prints money every time they release a handheld and don't even shocked if they eventually release a NEW 2ds XL.
Edit. I just realized this is New 2ds XL.
Oh well. Still printing money.

Re: Talking Point: Defining a Sequel and How It Affects Games Like Splatoon 2

remlapgamer

Sonic changed their games too much and we still haven't stopped slamming them. Now they appear to be going back to some of their traditional gameplay ideas and things are definitely looking better. I've never even played Splatoon even though I have it and I don't have a Switch, but if the game was so loved the first time, I wouldn't change much the second time. Hell, they have barely changed Mariokart in four generations and are constantly giving track repaints and we stand in line to buy those. Keep doing your thing Nintendo.

Re: Super Mario Run Is Finally Coming To Android Next Week

remlapgamer

Poor move to give this to IOS users for 3 months in advance. They've given the game such a negative perception and maybe for a good reason, but I don't even want to try it and have made up my mind it's not worth$10. Would have been a day one purchase. I hope Apple paid you really well.

Re: Nintendo Switch Chip X-Ray Suggests The Console Is Running A Stock Nvidia Tegra X1

remlapgamer

It'll be a while before I pick up a Switch, but the way I see it is that Nintendo knew as they were designing this Switch that they would have different versions throughout the lifespan. They've done this with practically every handheld and have a great opportunity to pull it off with Switch.
I think it's obvious. I expect there to be a Switch Mini, a Switch XL, New Switch, ect. This has been there financial slugfest juggernaut money printing strategy for many years now.
Back to the system, there is bound to be an enhanced version not too far away. Oh yeah, the future handhelds will be discounted because the dock will be universal with all future Switch consoles. Everyone take a screenshot and keep it and look back 5 years from now and tell me I didn't nail it.
