How did Japan win with a rainbow outline? 🤣
I had to go with NA despite Europe being my recognisable console. I just think the fonts catch your attention and visual marketing is just more eye catching
Edit: and yes this is even though I really dislike the NA SNES design and dislike the button colours even more.
Well it’s too late for prime 2 and 3 now. Missed opportunity. Even if they released them on switch virtual console game cube emulator who is going to play once prime 4 drops?
Nerd-gasm. Still super sceptical that this will work. I just don’t think link as a silent protagonist will translate well to the big screen. But the casting and costumes look great
I’d probably shuffle the top 25 around a little but mostly agree. The tough thing is the games I totally missed on my journey. I have a bit more snes love too with contra IV and Castlevania IV being up there
Not that I’ve bought a new TV yet, but are people thinking 1080p 120fps or 4K 60fps?
Seems like this one will depart from the series a little, which isn’t always a bad thing. I would still love to play 2 & 3 first too. Don’t know if I will be able to go back after the quality leap 4 will bring
That will entertain my kids for about 7 views of the trailer. But yeah, as others have said… calling this a Nintendo direct feels disappointing somehow.
I only joined in 2008. Late adopter, my apologies.
But happy birthday NL team
EDIT: yes I arrived to help figure out the Wii virtual console, which was amazing. And to help figure out which GC games I should try because the GC was to only Nintendo console I skipped.
Unrelated but I think Nintendo should make NES and/or SNES content free as a sign of good will seeing how well they’re doing right now. Then get rid of the second tier of their virtual subscription service.
It bothers me that you pay so much money to buy the console and there is no token content. I know there are a handful of free downloadable games. If they had included welcome tour that would be different.
But yeah. Own your success Nintendo and reward the customers rather than your shareholders for once.
Don’t really care about any games etc. I really just want to experience the enigma that was virtual boy. It never came to my country and was well ahead of its time. It’s like a museum piece to the weird and whacky stuff that Nintendo does
Is that tagline a nod to an old Ferrero Rocher ad? Always wanted to play ghost and goblins apart from getting brutally destroyed back in 80/90s for my 40c in the arcade I don’t think I ever went back.

I haven’t played dark ages… maybe there is more talking. But as of eternal all he says is “must kill them all” right?
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Bionic Commando (NES)
I love that Japan has a bit more of a sinister vibe. It got my vote the European cover is actually quite comical by comparison
Re: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Difficulty Settings Revealed By Nintendo
I reckon I’m going to struggle after getting used to doom combat loops and having to go back to defensive gameplay
Re: Super Mario Run Scores A Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 Event

Re: 40 Switch 1 & 2 Games You Should Check Out In The 'Cyber Deals' eShop Sale (North America)
Finally picked up split fiction. And my girls love playing it together but do a lot of screaming at the tv and each other.
Might get wolfenstein 2 as well. It’s so cheap
Re: 50 Best Super Nintendo (SNES) Games Of All Time
Good list. I would shuffle some of the top 20, and super Mario all stars is just too much Mario and technically just NES games right?
Also love that SNES Prince of Persia made it in. I reckon it’s the definitive version
Re: Nintendo Debuts Two Metroid Prime 4 Ads As Eight-Year Wait Nears Its End

Re: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Finally Gets The Trailer We've Been Waiting For
I’m waiting for memes about how a girl on a deserted planet still has some creep show up trying to chat her up
Re: Round Up: The Final Previews Are In For Metroid Prime 4: Beyond
Also the ‘isolation’ fans should watch the 7 minute trailer. There’s at least 3 other NPCs who sporadically join in.
I’m secretly giggling at the outrage

Boom. Money gone.

Re: Feature: Now Samus Is Doing It - What Is It About The 'Akira Slide' That's So Great?
The bike animation in MP4 is hopefully going to get more polish. I feel it just needs a little more finesse

PlayStation 2 is quickly finding another 10 million sales no doubt

I have to go for Europe. The tilt of the head in the Japanese version doesn’t sit right with me
Re: Xbox Reiterates Its Support For Switch 2
More keen for dark ages. But I suppose if any classic comes out I’ll have a crack. Was so awesome playing portal back on the switch.

Re: Rumour: Nintendo Patent Supposedly Points To Return Of DS Games
I played the heck out of my 3DS. It would be worth bringing to switch2

Re: Terminator 2D: No Fate Trailer Dives Into How You Can Change Key Movie Scenes
I’ll just enjoy the retro visuals unless this is the definitive run and gun game. Has to be better than super contra/probotector 4 to get my $$
Re: It's Official, Minecraft Is Getting A Second Live-Action Movie
The video game industry is worth more than the film and music industries combined. Shameless attempts to get on the video game bandwagon
Re: Nintendo Goes Full Pixar In Strange New Animated Short Film, 'Close To You'
What would feel more Nintendo? Mario jumping on the child?
Re: Nintendo's Out To Get $4,500,000 In Damages From Ongoing Switch Piracy Case
Seems more about destroying the guy than anything. Would he even have 4.5M?
Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Super Mario Galaxy + Galaxy 2?
Haven’t picked up Galaxy 2 yet. Time is far kinder to these games and I feel it shows the iterative leaps in games are getting smaller.

Re: Nintendo Of America President Doug Bowser Announces Retirement
I mean he only got the job because of his name and meme potential obviously….
Also very disappointed they didn’t hire someone called Mario.
