@sleepinglion why on earth would you repay twice? I bought the wii u day one, transferred all my wii virtual games to it and was on my way. I did pay the 30 cents to enable wii u tablet mode but beyond that there was no repaying

@BensonUii Benson is correct! That's a short sale.

The guy sold Nintendo stock he doesn't own yet.

Its kinda like if you heard from a friend that Bestbuy was going to start selling the Nintendo Switch for $150 on Sunday, and it currently sells for $300 in store.

So on Saturday you list one on ebay for $250, it sells immediately. You laugh that you're about to make $100. You don't own a switch, but you're confident they are about to go down in price.

You go to bestbuy the next day and find the value of a switch rose, they now cost $400. You already owe someone a switch, so you buy it for 400, ship it to the guy who paid you 250, and you lose $150.

That;s short-selling. Done RIGHT, its an incredibly unethical and really-should-be-illegal way to make money on a collapsing company.

If they mess up, they're out a billion dollars, and suddenly YOUR retirement account they manage isn't doing so hot.

I'm calling out of work for 2 days.

Maybe 3.

@DarthNocturnal i see them in toys r us until last week as well as walmart still

they need to come out with an actual date so i can take off work

@danielman9 i use my wavebird to play switch games now

@N64SNESU yeah man the $38 i paid for my first switch after trading in my wii and the $230 i paid for my second sure are awful compared to the 5 hours a day i get out of it.
so premium.

@cyrus_zuo i wish you could do all of fantasy life co-op- but it kicks player two out for the main story missions. i played it and loved it to death and would have looooved to play with my wife, but always getting booted out of her game made it hard

@rjejr i have i think that same lineup on steam for like $3. i know that if i'm ever dead broke and cant buy any new games for awhile, ill be set for a year or 5...

this just popped up on my feed despite there being no updates.
2014 was 150 years ago.

WHY IS THE KIRBY DEMO UK ONLY

I HAVE SO MANY ESHOP ACCOUNTS NOW

@KayFiOS But you don't have opinions, you just whine and pout and shriek of "OMG WHO WANTS TO HEAR ABOUT VIDEOGAMES ON A VIDEO GAME SITE. WHO CARES WHO LIKES GAME AND WHO DOESN'T OMG VIDEOGAMES AREN'T NEWS".

Don't reply. Don't talk. Just leave this site and grow an actual opinion.

@KayFiOS hmm , i appreciate your half dozen comments over 5 hours talking about how unimportant this is to you.

I sure hope NintendoLife stops showing us cute, amusing videos of world famous multimillionares discussing their favorite Nintendo products to a reporter who's also a fan, and goes back to posting youtube links from some random 17 year old's rambling review of Zelda. Or better yet, reviews of 99 cent endless runners no one was ever going to buy anyway.

Truly, that's what the world needs.
Maybe you could post on here another 40 times, to make this breaking news article the highest-trending Nintendo article online?

@KayFiOS customer feedback: two whiney children confused that people are talking about videogames, vs 30 happy commenters
Analytics: dozens of replies and page refreshes per minute

either way, they're clearly doing something right

@Ogbert I'm actually more okay with that, although anyone giving $10 for a $6 guide reformat should definitely get a copy.

@Ogbert its also to get a kindle version!

We can already buy the guide on his site so I'm not sure what backing the kickstarter does

You linked to the wrong harvest moon

it said the dragon quest builders demo was out now, but i'm not seeing it. can anyone else?

OoOoOOo

@kevinlo9 co-op mode is available the moment you start the game. talk to the purple mage. he can revive player 1 once as a spell, and if either of you dies, all treasure chests contain a revive instead of guns.

@fox_mattcloud gasp! now you'll have to click buy on iTunes, then drag and drop the file into Google Play to add and listen to it there! Seconds will be wasted!

@dazzlerJJD their next two questions will be "is it about sony games" and "this is some kinda tv show, right?"

@Kobeskillz by "not on apple", did you miss all the words in this article talking about getting it on itunes?

A separate post on the official Niantic website says later this week

HMMMMMmmm

i LOVE games like 9 parchments so i will try the demo on break. i have enough free eshop credit from amazon to get both games for free i think

Calling it "video streaming" makes it sound like only the video itself is being sent, and you would still need a PC controller hooked to your PC to play. Right now I use a steam link and my mac to stream from my PC if i need to be in another room, but the Switch is sooo much nicer

@frogopus do you have issues with no audio from the steam link, and white screens when your hosting PC monitor goes to sleep, even if the game itself is still running? ive only had my steam link a week but i've had a lot of issues with it

@HopeNForever its been available in "australia" for a month, but everyone i know in the states already has it. its worldwide for anyone that wants it

@DarthFoxMcCloud the My Nintendo rewards for syncing your account is more money than i make in my first 4 days, and more materials for building then my first two weeks.

@rjejr i cant imagine a better time to release a mobile game then the day when everyones sitting in car seats and on buses for the next 4 hours

no discounts, or did ya just run out of room?

ahh i see the italics part now. thanks everybody!

I love how Apple wants to keep me secure and not downloading shady aps, but oh man
it took 9 seconds to tell Google Play i was in australia so its okay to download the game on a $30 bargain bin phone.

Took 90 minutes to trick iTunes into letting me do the same.

@patbacknitro18 as we saw with Konami and Capcom in general, once the producers and shareholders see that Animal Crossing Mobile was downloaded 55,000,000 times and brought in an average of $100 per player, they'll NEVER okay devoting millions of dollars to sell 3,000,000 copies on switch. New Leaf is huge, having sold 7,000,000 copies in 5 years.
Pokemon GO made that in an hour. I'm sure they're still making the Animal Crossing version, however, since it seems to already be in development.

@607jf i bought my remade/relaunch controllers for $20 a year or so ago- now theyre $90 on amazon and sold out of every other store.

well then..

@RadioShadow which adapter do you have exactly? i have the 4 port mayflash one that doesnt look like its been updated in a long time.

@rjejr any portable battery works
any $5-7 USBC cable will charge it when it is plugged in, but depending what you have it plugged into, it might still drain the Switch battery. Apple wall plugs and wall adapters are best, but other ones are also fine.

Overall i spent a total of $12 on Switch accessories and i play it in the car, walking the city and waiting in line at conventions.

@Lalivero physical purchases are far cheaper than digital now. I used to go all digital for every game, but got sick of the 20% price jump

@retro_player_22 all 25 vita owners really love that feature!

@TrixieSparkle copy paste SD card to PC before you begin.
Every few months copy paste SD card to PC and keep one copy there or on Google Drive.

With 5-10 mins of effort a year, it is literally 100% impossible to ever lose more than a few weeks of digital saves.

Nintendo World at Times Square is honestly the only thing I really enjoy about NYC

@RedMageLanakyn my only comment was on the framerate being half of ARMS. Its extremely noticeable.

But yeah, focus on the jeans !

@crackafreeze i just block by blocking with motion controls

@RedMageLanakyn true, Uncharted is pretty unremarkable- guy wearing jeans! Hey look a CAR! Nothing I haven't seen in 500 other games. While ARMS stands out, and looks great.
Also, Uncharted runs at 27-30 FPS, while ARMS runs at 60 FPS.

That really is a bit of an exaggeration- maybe Uncharted 5 playing on the PS4 Pro or something would look almost as good as ARMS.

@Juma009 i don't even know when they started doing the directs, but sometime about 5 years ago i started paying more attention to them. I think i got more of my news from nintendo power back in the day.

now in my early 30s, ill take off work or schedule my day around a Direct. its a small but simple and exciting thing some days!

I normally get bored with RType/Gradius style games, but the equippable items, loot drops, item progression ala Diablo and even Dragon Age has me interested...

@manu0 oh balls! i got ... ....errr...23 euro off of mario kart and Zelda total, and then 3 euro off of an eshop game.

@Whopper744 when you have Prime and choose 3-5 Super Saver Shipping, you get $1 off your next digital order. That's easy, that's on the bottom of every order when you pick shipping speed. The idea is rather than Amazon two-day shipping you a pencil one day and soap another day, they hold everything a couple days, then do it all at once. If you order ten things in one order, you pick super saver and get $1 off.

If you order all 10 items within 3 days of each other, even within seconds of each other, you get $1 back for each item- $10 total.

If you have a house of 4 people and get random $4 kitchen tools and video games and prepaid cards and socks and cereal off Amazon...

well then.

$22 in assorted credits right now. Do an amazon search for "eshop" or "eshop credit" and the top hit is a digital code.

@Whopper744 bestbuy has lucina for $10, and i picked up the valencia ones for $18 for both of em.

As for the DLC, remember that Amazon Prime Super Saving Digital codes apply on eShop credits- i got maybe 60$ worth last year.

I just picked up a digital switch game for half off, and next i'll be saving up for the season pass half off i hope.
