@japongt What the hell are you expecting? To get physical bonuses with your digital games? Keep your expectations in line with reality and you might not get so upset.

@cleveland124 I didn't say you said that, and I agree with you, I was just talking about the problems with implementing cross-buy within the current infrastructure...I think. It's hard to track what has been said in the comments on this site because there are no comment threads to refer to.

@cleveland124 But you don't have to own the other systems, you don't even need to have bought the game! Surely that comes under exploitation?

@JaxonH That's kind of the point I was making anyway, but thanks for backing me up I suppose.

@ZenTurtle What isn't cross-buy? Olli Olli sure was cross-buy, and it definitely wasn't a one-off, though examples are few, there are more to speak of. Sorry I feel like I've missed something here.

@electrolite77 They won't do it across NNID because of the exploitation of that system which Nintendo apparently overlooked and either can't or won't fix: https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2015/03/nintendos_implementation_of_cross-buy_is_surprisingly_generous

Nintendo is not idiotic enough to think that SNES games on VC is a selling point to get people to upgrade to New 3DS. If it were possible on old 3DS, it definitely would have happened.

@Peach64 That's a really dumb thing to say considering the upcoming release of Nintendo's brand-new account system.

Comparing the New 3DS to the DSi XL completely destroys any credibility this article had at putting across a point.

@maceng Momentum is the product of mass and velocity. It's a vector quantity, and thus can be negative. Personally I think its use in this article is appropriate.

@Xenocity It died out because all rage dies out, it's a very difficult thing to keep going, and people still want to play the favourite instalment in their franchise of choice, despite one thing that might piss them off. I'm certain some people won't have bought a copy due to no splitscreen though.

I find it extremely surprising to hear that people are anti-local multiplayer. I see the opinions of and interact with many gamers on a somewhat frequent basis and I have never seen in my entire life a single person who thought that local multiplayer was a bad thing in any sense.

@Xenocity That's not the case. Did you see the backlash when Halo 5 was revealed to have no offline splitscreen co-op? Nobody is ready to leave local multiplayer behind entirely.

@chardir no the quadruple nothing bit

@chardir For this to be a good joke you kind of don't have to be immediately and blatantly incorrect with what you're saying. How much money Nintendo makes is pretty cut and dry.

@rushiosan Amiibo was never, nor will it be ever, either of those things.

@electrolite77 it's not the same or worse, you can't possibly compare Amiibo to conventional DLC. To treat them as the same is to fundamentally misunderstand the very concept of Amiibo and bonus content in gaming.

@renaryuugufan92 Did you read the bit in the article where it said that producing Amiibo is less cost-effective than regular DLC, thereby rendering your entire comment invalid?

@sonicmeerkat You have some messed up priorities.

@rjejr jesus christ do you ever do anything except look at the pictures?

@Wouwter That one made me laugh out loud, well done sir.

No point looking back and saying "what if" because nobody knows at all what might have happened. A Rare bought out by Nintendo might have been just as bad as one bought out by Microsoft, or any other company.

@Peach64 Yeah, shame on Nintendo for firing an employee who openly badmouthed the company. What were they thinking?

@Koapa I don't t think Nintendo are in any way responsible for this stuff. I seem to remember that publishing in Germany was extra expensive for some reason which led some developers to the conclusion that the extra sales weren't worth releasing in Germany.

@Peach64 Untrue. There are two methods of doing Cross-buy on Nintendo systems, which is chosen by the developer.

Method 1 is account-based, if you've bought the game on one system, you can download on any other system with the same account. This is open to a little exploitation since you can link multiple 3DSs to the same NNID and other people can download a free copy of a game (I think that's what the exploit was at least...).

Method 2 appears to be the method that Renegade Kid is taking. It basically amounts to receiving a 3DS code when you buy on Wii U and vice-versa. This method not only can't be exploited, it allows games to be gifted if you only want one version. That means this method is not account-based whatsoever and is reliant on the code found in the receipt. I can only assume that it is impossible to add a code onto the receipt after the purchase, hence the "technical difficulties".

@TSB What a moronic thing to say, I feel like you can't be serious.

@mjc0961 I want the Special Edition on the day of release, such is my confidence in the game. It's ink-redibly unlikely I can achieve this goal without pre-ordering. Because of this, I've pre-ordered and have no intention of cancelling. There is a point to pre-orders, especially when few of the downsides apply to Splatoon.

Look at Pac-Man's shoes in that second to last screenshot. They look a little different, don't they? Perhaps an alternate costume? Or at least one of his colour swaps.

My Caruba!

Really wanted to go to one of their UK shows but it's already sold out in London

Haha, brilliant. Live but a few miles away from Ipswich so it's nice to see the town get some love!

I really hate EA but I have a penchant for the Fifa series so I'd hope it comes back to WiiU in the future, but EA are really moronic.

It seems more fit for purpose but the new analogue stick and the placing of the start button makes it look all unsymmetrical and ugly.
