Weird that the article didn’t even mention fuze4 or smile basic though..

@Retron I was the same back when it was 30 quid or so, but it’s basically on permanent sale now since they dropped the price earlier on in the year. Looks like someone at fuze hq hit the wrong button on their eshop price settings, and now it’s impossible to go back

I’m busy doing a 3d zelda type game. It’s going pretty well!

Bags are great. I've got a big one, and it goes with me everywhere. It's also full of crud in the bottom, just like a real handbag!

Don't worry, guys. It'll get a browser eventually.

Very disappointing.

If techs at Nintendo can replace the battery, then we can. It'll probably just need a special screwdriver, a spudger, and a steady nerve. Expect to see vids on YouTube and step-by-step guides on sites like ifixit.com within hours of launch...

This is great news! You can also disable the anti-epilepsy screen darkening effect if you want to

This section of the show was odd and disturbing. They probably have his kids held hostage somewhere, and forced him to add that ridiculous 'Luigi' story just for cruel laughs...

I hope it's just too fiddly that Nintendo never bothers to fix it. The current lineup is good, but would be better with a few tweaks...

@dizzy_boy "Let's not forget that this is the muppet that claimed to have Switch, which turned out to be a 3D printed model."

No it's not. Arlo is the only Muppet Nintendo youtuber, afaik. And you're thinking of someone else entirely.

Definitely VVVVVV. An oldie now, but excellent. And that soundtrack!

Mirii kurisumasuuu!!

@nintykid It worked out really well for the original Wii, and the Gameboy. I think where Wii u went wrong was that it's overpriced, it launched with Nintendoland and nsmbu, and everyone knew the ps4 was coming out soon...

The recent patent says that there's a displayport to HDMI converter in the dock...

KEEP YOUR FAN PROJECTS A SECRET UNTIL RELEASE, PEOPLE!

Jeez, will they never learn..

I don't mind it being low-powered, just as long as the price reflects that - just like the original Wii, and not like the Wii U and 3DS...

Reminds me of Troma.

VR headsets for this are going to be insanely cheap. Like the Wii wheel pack-in with mariokart style cheap. I hope it comes to pass...

@iamserious I couldn't disagree more.

I hope the main game feels nice to play. That fractal effect is really cool. Only 2.99? I'm in.

I'd be interested if they have an option to render them in HD. Otherwise, dolphin emulator is the way to go. Super Mario Sunshine on dolphin at 1080p with the 60 fps mod is glorious!

Lot of haters in here, huh? Especially nice to see mental health issues being joked about so casually.

Track listing looks interesting. I agree with that one poster in that they're probably just referencing the stuff being sampled, and aren't finalised song titles. Glad it's modern stuff instead of just retro chiptunes, which I like but has become pretty cliché...

I just want to say that original 1970s TV Pong consoles are still awesome. Smooth, 60fps, perfect controls, great sound.

Play the 'football' game mode, with ball speed set to high, and the acute angles switched on. 2-player perfection.

VC prices are too damn high.

@CharlieSmile I think it's just literally inconceivable, unfortunately...

@Braneman "Now LED's are cheap and having just two lines of LED's to make a VR headset screen would be INCREDIBLE for keeping costs down. Any headset that could use the screen tech in the virtual boy successfully would blow all the other VR headsets out of the water."

That's kind of an interesting idea, actually.

“The Triforce is made up of Princess Zelda, Ganon and Link. Princess Zelda is obviously female. If we made Link a female we thought that would mess with the balance of the Triforce. That’s why we decided not to do it.”

“...if we have princess Zelda as the main character who fights, then what is Link going to do?"

Makes undeniable sense. Also, Zelda is intended to be the medieval folk-tale archetype of the maiden/princess, and we all want our 2016 media to stick close to medieval times archetypes, right? Especially high-profile, top-quality stuff like this.

Finally, most importantly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMdYZG_gdwI

Super-hyped for this game, btw. I hope the switch version has a better framerate, but I really think it looks great as it is

30 or 40% off is a good deal. Why are people so salty? :S

This sounds pretty cool, and might even get me to enjoy strategy RPGs...

Something in the "Capcom Vs. ..." Series would do me, if SFV really is 100% iron-clad Sony exclusive...

The controls felt off in Starfox 64, too. That, and the dimmed screen makes it pretty much unplayable for me. I seriously thought my monitor was broken.

Does this have those same 'darkened' visuals?

Haircuts and pants for splatoon? Yes pls.

@ThanosReXXX I'm talking about the wireless controller. I bet it has a dongle. Either that, or it uses actual magic...

I bet you can use this on Wii/ Wii u virtual console games. It no doubt comes with a dongle that plugs into the bottom of a wiimote...

@PlywoodStick Nice nuanced perspective there. I wish more people would think like that.

@HappyMaskedGuy "it only plays games that a Pi can run"

That's a pi 3 in there. It can play more games than you could ever play in your lifetime. It can play NES and N64 games without the awful dull anti-epilepsy filter that the official Wii U VC adds. It can even emulate Dreamcast at a decent rate. I'm pretty sure you can stream your steam games to it from your PC, too.

This is a really cool mod. The gamepad looks almost stock. It'd be nice if they could squeeze a gyro/accelerometer module in there for mouse emulation, and as an added tribute to one of the original gamepad's best features...

Edit: if you could also squeeze in a Bluetooth module and a couple of IR LEDs behind the 'sensor bar' part, you could also re-enable one of the gamepad's dumbest features, too.

@kingdomharms Thanks for sharing this. It /is/ kinda cool and funny. I swear, the commenters on this site are so negative. Remember that hoax nx controller? The 3d printed one with the oval screen? Well on neogaf, the reaction was 'woah, what a wild ride! Ya got us good, fella, nice one.', and here it was 'what kind of idiot would waste our time like this? He should be sacked for using the company equipment!' etc etc.

I like hearing about little details like this. Please don't be discouraged from making another video if you come across anything else interesting while file exploring

The spawn point in splatoon is different, and the positions the inklings start off at is different too. The way they're standing, there's room for another 2 players per team...

Don't be silly, of course it has a touchscreen...

Just came to say that Akira is one of the greatest sci-fi movies ever, and if you haven't seen it for a while, it deserves a rewatch. Way ahead of it's time.

On the plus side, it's something you'll only do once. It wouldn't be a big deal if it went unpatched...

November 31st reveal, guys. Count on it.

yeeah, it does look nice in stills, but disappointing in motion. It looks like a flash game.. :/

I hope the other two have a bit more effort and originality.

I'd just like to say that 'freeloading' old ROMs to play on emulators is awesome. That's what PCs, hacked Wiis and other open hardware is for though, not standard console ecosystems. I'm getting a new PC this Christmas, and one of the things I'm most looking forward to doing is running Super Mario Sunshine in glorious HD, with the 60fps hack applied, and possibly even with stereoscopic 3D. Even though I no longer own the disk!

Come and get me, coppers!

This is an excellent idea, for one-eyed people who play alone in a dark room...

Severed and noitu love look pretty good. Noitu love looks as if it'd be best with wiimote+nunchuck.

2 stars seems a bit generous for this...

Called up to ask about how to get out of the forest of illusion in super Mario world. I was tearing my hair out, trying every pipe, and even jumping down every hole and dying, out of pure desperation. Turns out it was just down one yellow pipe I'd forgotten, towards the end of the level. Called a couple of other times too, but I forget what for. They were always ready with an answer, quick, concise, and no messing about, unlike every other premium rate number ever.

Nintendo Helpline. I'm sad it's gone, even if it is unnecessary nowadays...

UK here, by the way.

I enjoyed the writing in this review.

Gurumin looks really cool.
