@chardir Apologies, you're absolutely right. For some reason I can't access that link and therefore assumed the terms site was down, but it seems to work for others and explains the rules clearly.
Thanks for the heads up, I've changed the text above 😊
@chardir Yep, but as I said, they are the rules posted for the North American event. The European event has been revealed under a different name 'Grand Prix' and that description hasn't been posted anywhere on Nintendo of Europe's official channels.
It could well be the same rules as the North American one, but we can't know for sure yet.
Glad you're finding this useful guys - cheers @beazlen1! 🙂
@OorWullie The shapes are just an indicator of your level. You'll notice that people level 1-10 have the little green thing, then once you break out of that it turns blue. It'll keep changing as you level up.
@ALinkttPresent It looks like you can have your chosen design covering the whole shirt or just the pocket. Again, it's unclear at the minute whether there's more to it than that - the official site is intentionally vague at the mo - but it talks about shipping times taking longer than usual thanks to individual customisation.
@GrailUK With it just being about one game, it was pretty hard to know whether there'd be enough interest. Don't worry though - the chat will always come out for Directs and E3 and stuff
@Mogster Well yeah, it's kind of undebatable at this point that he's helped to create some of the most-loved and highest quality games on Nintendo systems over the years.
It's just a general, sign off statement that recognises his hard work and talent. We're not saying that we feel in awe of him because he plays his own video game.
@Mogster We haven't praised him for playing a game, we're just sharing his comments that he does play it in his spare time.
Actually, many creative people don't enjoy watching/playing/reading/listening to their own work, as they prefer to make a firm split between work and home life. Different people think differently 🙂
Edit: @MajorasLapdog, kinda beat me to it there! 😅
Yeah, I wouldn't dispute the fact that the game being free is a huge part of its success. My comment was aimed more at those who think that that is the only reason it's popular, rather than accepting the fact that many enjoy its gameplay, too. 🙂
@TF-Warrior Our trusted sources tell us that Ivysaur and Squirtle refused to fight without Charizard unless they received significant salary boosts. The Smash gods refused to meet their demands, and so Pokémon Trainer had no choice but to sit out for the entire game.
@Mamabear Yeah, it's actually my most-played game of 2018 too, which really surprised me. I thought I'd give it a go to see what the fuss was about and then ended up putting in somewhere around 130 hours...
@sikthvash Hey 🙂The Resident Evil Revelations price mentioned is actually for the 3DS and Wii U versions of the game - not the Switch which is £9.59 as you said.
Apologies if this wasn't clear (I've added more info above) and thanks for the kind words!
@Dayshader Just as a heads up - with any of our reviews, you can view the price of the game in its info box on the right-hand side of the page on desktop, or by clicking the 'Overview' tab at the top of the page on mobile. 🙂
Yeah, no idea on that one. The name translates to 'Omega' as you pointed out, but that doesn't really get us any further. Perhaps it was scrapped entirely?

Re: Nintendo Teased The Zelda Remake Earlier In The Direct And We Never Even Noticed
@JackEatsSparrows Hey, it seems pretty suspicious to me I genuinely think it was done on purpose - to fit the Easter theme and the Zelda reveal.
