No idea why they would change it, having an icon without the title in it looks so odd, the old thumbnail worked just fine. On the other hand, Mr. Shifty changed their pic too, but improved on it instead.
@AlexSora89 Sure compared to Gamecube's 22 million units sold, Wii U sales figures probably topping out at 14 million isn't great, but it's nowhere near the Virtual Boy at 750k sold.
Also the Color TV-Game was the most successful first-generation home console, selling 3 million units. Not exactly a failure.
@DanteSolablood If it's not a 2DS, then it will be the New 3DS with the upclocked CPU, super-stable 3D, and inbuilt amiibo support. The 'old' 3DS has now been discontinued.
Still quite a few big releases coming in 2017, but I suspect that we will see less titles for the 3DS in 2018 as developers shift resources over to the Switch - the same sort of pattern as the DS to 3DS transition went.
One thing to point out - Ikegami Tsushinki isn't a person but a company. In full, Ikegami Tsūshinki kabushiki-kaisha would translate to Ikegami Communications Co, Ltd.
Good to see Nintendo continually tweaking the app, I would've liked to revisit the app, but it taking up 700MB - pretty much all of the spare space on my phone - is too much.
When Yoshi's Woolly World has sold nearly 1.5 million copies, 2 million for the new Zelda will be easily met. Especially with the game getting such positive press at E3. MK8 holds the record at 7.5 million - with it being released simultaneously on the NX, I wonder how close BotW could get to that figure.
Apart from the loading screens, it's a nice app. I've stopped checking up on it regularly as only one friend ended up joining, he's since stopped using it, and I wasn't about to add strangers after some of the abuse I'd seen from doing that. It's an okay effort for Nintendo's first foray into mobile with DeNA, hopefully Pokemon GO will fare better.

Re: Feature: Japanese Dev Legend Tak Fujii On His Switch Music Exclusive Gal Metal
I gather the second video mentioned using HD rumble. Not quite the same as hitting a drum, but I'm curious to see how this one turns out.

Re: Nintendo Switch Won't Be Sold At A Loss, Two Million Units To Ship In Time For March
I can't say for others, but I'd be happy if the Switch were sold at the £250-£300 price range.

Re: Poll: What Other 'Classic Edition' Nintendo Systems Do You Want to be Released?
Logically SNES, but I'd vote for N64 since the controller is so unusual and emulation has proven a challenge.

Re: Trademark Listing Adds Fuel to Talk of Nintendo NX Using Cartridges
@Jolt Well the Wii U discs hold 25GB. 3DS carts hold 8GB, and the tech has progressed a lot since then, so it's possible.
Re: Reminder: Day Two of E3 Brings Multiple Nintendo Games Including a 'New Role-Playing IP'
@Spin It was announced on the Direct back in March, but only that it would be released sometime in 2016.
