@JamesR Same, I shop online in shops which haven't lost there minds

Game hides Nintendo products in a corner of a shop like they are bargain bin items then blames them for profit issues.

I think they will find the issues are of there own making, pricing for example is higher than most retailers in sector.

LOL at those who thought Nintendo was dead

I never use 3D so I may pick this up, looks really nice

@LegendOfPokemon I think the confirmation is games like I am Setsuna being a day 1 download game.

In all my gaming years I have used a console browser once, I for one would be glade to see it go

@FragRed Our Game is only small but has a scrolling screen with the info on, boards outside and a few other bits. They are also tweeting about it a lot, but most of the employees are Nintendo die hards which probably helps.

Have to agree that this is a massive step up in marketing efforts!

GI month long reveal for BOTW, multiple adverts running on youtube, hands on experiences, lots of in store marketing at places like Game, much better!

@Tempestryke I cant speak for anyone else but my kids are generally good with things like that, so yeh in my case it will certainly help.

Recently got into the series with Generations being my first game (just started the level 2 quests), really enjoying it so far and I hope we either get double cross of they announce a MH game for the Switch.

As a dad of 2 I always found it difficult to get them off a game without them feeling like I was the bad guy. This app is a game changer for me as it takes away the confrontation when they need to come off.

I don't feel the marketing has been muddled, the message has always been clear from the start.

The Switch is a home console that has the option of being taken on the go.

I am Setsuna and RiME look interesting, I will probably pick these 2 up.

@TsunamiSensei Ditto's cannot pass down balls

What a great gesture from the store employees, this must have made the lads year.

Remember not every household can afford gaming consoles, they are a luxury and one a lot of us take for granted.

@jimi I am the target audience, no one else just me! So Nintendo, does that mean I can have it early?

Been trying all day, but cannot for the life of me find enough Rattata 's to test it out.

We can only hope, I would love for it to be a launch game!

@Mogster, wow that's very surprising

How the hell did this end up on a Nintendo console, do they not quality check?

@AugustusOxy Well said

Good on them I say, they are protecting brand identity and letting these be nominated for awards would set precedence for others to be able to do the same!

@Toadsfriend I have to agree, I played it through 100 completion, I hope the series continues as it was one of the best games to grace the Wii U!

Nintendo are masters of getting the most out of there own hardware.

Just look at games like, Captain Toad, Mario Kart 8, Windwaker HD they are all gorgeous games to name a few.

I have no doubts that 1st party games will look amazing from the get go!

I personally didn't like how this game looked.

It seemed very dated and under developed, I doubt it would have preformed well regardless of platform.

Nintendo leaked the launch month (March 2017) on the European press site, so I'm pretty sure that launch window was accurate as it tied in to a few leaked dates for the amiibo's.

Splatoon, Mario and Elder Scrolls will be good enough launch titles alone if we dont get BOTW.

What a plank, I doubt Nintendo would be giving anyone other than developers consoles at present.

I cant see it happening again, but saying that this was suppose to be a 2015 game.

Lets hope its false, I cant take the wait any longer!

The switch trailer's Mario game was very Galaxy like with the camera angles but it could be something completely different.

I would love to see another 3D World game, I played the heck out of it!

Fantastic new if true, I was budgeting around £300 for the system alone but £250 with a game or a better version sounds really good.

Thats exactly how my childhood was, great ad to bring lapsed players back.

Pikmin as confirmed? Can you show me more information on this as it wasn't in the trailer.

Surly it can only be confirmed it Nintendo says it is coming to the system.

It's a logical move, new console incoming which they may be integral to the success of. We also have some of the most famous IP in history making there way to mobile, which will be massive cash cows for DeNa.

I felt the demo was about right for what it should be, not to short or long and was able to give you an idea of what the final product would be like.

I've noticed a few people have had issues with frame rate dips, personally I have not experienced this, I can only assume it's because I am running it on a New 3DS so has a bit more power to keep up.

I only had 2 issues with the game:

1, I don't enjoy the music, not sure why, it just doesn't appeal to me.

2, In XY/ ORAS we had great arwork of rival trainers when loading into and out of a battle, this has now gone and been replaced with an in engine sequence which doesn't look so nice.

I love my New 3DS, imported an Australian model before it made its way over here.

Even with the NX on it's way I am still tempted to go to a XL as it's way easier on the eyes.

Really looking forward to the full release of Sun/ Moon!

This is shaping up well, I like almost everything I have seen so far!

I played the hell out of Splatoon for 8-12 months when it launched.

The only setback for me was not having any retain-able rewards from splatfest.

I feel you should have been able to keep the team shirt if you won and had an additional prize of like a new gun skin if you hit the highest rank through the festival to give you an intensive to play.

Other than that, it's one of the best shooter games I have ever played, I really hope we get a squeal.

This looks awful, surly there should be some quality control around what can be released on the system.

The developer has also made a minecraft rip off, someone please stop this insanity!

I feel they do need to start providing dates so gamers can start getting excited for this thing, even if its just "our launch direct will be on xx"

Some people have no sense, blaming an app for this is silly.

I am sure they wouldn't appreciate it if randomly walked into his living room and made myself comfy.

This argument is interesting as Nintendo's art lends well to 60fps.

If you look at games on other consoles, Halo 5 (PVP mode) for example, you can tell the art style has been sacrificed to hold the 60fps and is not very visually appealing.

I play a lot of Destiny which runs at 30fps but offers fantastic environments so either way there is a trade off.

Personally I would like the developers to be able to build the games to how they see fit and not be locked into either or.

Great article, I still play most of the above.

Super Mario 3D World is still a hit in our household and Captain Toad Treasure Tracker is one of Nintendo's best puzzle games in my opinion.

I am quietly hoping for squeals to both games!

@CB85 absolutly agree with what you have said!

Would be cool if true, however I am not fussed either way.

Sorry but this makes no sense!

@dekuthered damn, its only £12.99 for physical copy here in the UK

@dekuthered you know its on 3DS right?

Stunning

Whilst it looks great, it doesn't have that Zelda feel to it.

I would fine with them bringing titles over to NX and would pay for them again if they had additional content or something unique.
