I assume the 3D All-Stars version of Galaxy won't get the upgrades or bonus content.

Surely these can be played without buying the official accessories. Given the way the cardboard version works, you likely can play using the LABO headset, a homemade version or even just a 3D TV. I'll likely try the latter when they become available.

I thought A was jump in Mario games. That's what I've always used.

@MathByThePixel I assumed we'd get this, given they did it for the first two Splatoon games and for ARMS;

I don't understand why so many people are freaking out over this when it already exists on the original Switch.

This isn't exactly new. Look at LA Noire on the Switch.

I am so hyped for this.

How are they releasing a larger one? The current one is massive already. It's a fun and useful device though.

@Ooyah Whatever you named the cat, this is what you would have called it when it was naughty anyway.

I first discovered the game in 2011 thanks to an Australian YouTuber I was watching at the time. I absolutely loved the game. Since then I've managed to get hold of a copy of the PlayStation version, but I also have fond memories of being in school and downloading a DOSbox GUI app to play LBA. I bought the Android version when that became available and I bought both games on GOG years ago. I also backed the symphonic suite soundtrack at the level to own it on vinyl. I've been eagerly anticipating this remake for a while aand I was counting down the days until release. I was not disappointed. The game has improved upon some of the bits that I always felt were off about it (mainly the controls) and it just plays like any game I normally would play. Everything just feels how I'd expect it to feel and some things have been made less cumbersome (looking at you, Temple of Bu). I like the little change to the Grobo that is waiting for the 4th Star Wars film, due to there being a lot more Star Wars films. I won't spoil why though, so others can enjoy it too. I've even ended up making my partner interested in the game, due to my excitement and anticipation in the lead up to release and my enjoyment of the game. I can't wait to see the second game's remake now.

Across the US and Glasgow.

This reminds me of that time it was discovered that Nintendo likely downloaded a rom of Super Mario Bros to use for the Wii VC version.

A YouTuber I watched during my teens (also called Tyler) had a similar story for Super Mario 64. His father got him an N64 with SM64, but Tyler couldn't figure lut how to beat King Bob-omb. He just kept trying to throw him off the mountain and King Bob-omb would just come back up. Tyler's father couldn't figure it out either, so he returned the game.

A sequel would be pretty cool.

I loved this on the Vita. I'll definitely pick up the remaster.

This is a series I have a lot of interest in trying out. However, official copies are so pricey. But InsideGadgets has done some light sensitive carts for it, which I've been tempted to buy just to play these games as intended, rather than using the fan patch for emulators. Maybe one day I will get to play it.

@JohnnyMind Yeah, I miss the mystery mushroom outfits. When Link was announced for SMM2 it made it seem like they removed the ability to have those outfits so they could create multiple different characters that used those assets and then no others happened. It was like how 3D World is categorised as if there would have been even more themes. SMM2 has a lot of areas where it feels like more was planned then ultimitely dropped.

@SGE2000 Those were what I meant by third party tools.

@JohnnyMind I have spent a lot of time over the years (especially during the pandemic) watching SMM YouTubers and I recall them discovering you couldn't edit downloaded levels in the second game and being disappointed because a lot of the YouTubers who did some of the Super Expert No Skip videos used to like to look through any difficult levels that ended their runs so they could work out where they went wrong and then try to beat it afterwards, so it would be marked as cleared by them.

@JohnnyMind In Super Mario Maker 2, that's possible to do without people knowing (unless they use third party tools), but the original on Wii U allows you to download and edit levels other people have made, meaning it's possible to go through each part of the level and check for stuff like that.
Although as people say, there have been questions recently about the legitimacy of the original upload.

@Wolfleaf Interesting to know. I got them when they first came out and would have an active subscription only when I needed to transfer stuff, which hasn't been all too often, so I didn't remember that. I assume installing Bank and Transporter through other means would work fine though.

@Wolfleaf Bank and Transporter were free downloads. If you only downloaded them back before the eShop closed, then first booted them up after the eShop closed, you would have had them for free. However, whilst the eShop was still around, you had to pay to use Bank because the subscription for it was still around.

@ESC71 I believe they were talking about what can be done from just owning a 3DS. The do the Gen 3 games and the Gen 1 remakes, you need a DS or DS Lite too. Although once you have a DS or DS Lite, it can act as the second system for the Gen 4 and Gen 2 remake - Gen 5 transfer method too.

@DiamondCore Why do you think that hShop wouldn't work? Nintendo isn't making it so that the 3DS and Wii U can't access the internet, they're just closing the servers that the games run on.

Are there even 6 UK stores remaning?

@DaniPooo Your final paragraph does sound like it could be describing those.

As for a point in the future when all devices are connected online, that still seems unlikely for people in less affluent areas, especially with handheld consoles.The last time I recall a console manufacturer including the ability to go online on the go was the 3G model of the Vita, which was an optional extra and was a feature dropped in later models. The point when that would be likely is very far off. Even mobile phones struggle to get mobile signal in a lot of areas and they're made for doing that. I know the exact places on my work commute where my signal will drop completely for certain amounts of time. One is just an area where there's no mobile signal whatsoever, another is a tunnel, the last is when I'm actually where I work, where mobile signal seems to drop. So even if I was to try and use my phone to make a wifi hotspot for my other devices to connect to in order to go online, I know for a fact which places the signal would drop. Again though, that's under the assumption that people have the ability to pay for those online connections. It's not exactly cheap to get internet access. You're clearly advocating for something that stops poorer people from being able to play their games.

@DaniPooo But that wouldn't work on a game that famously is released on handheld consoles. How would you continue playing when on the bus or train? What if you did manage to play on the bus or train and then you got home and tried to play and your save no longer matches the one on the server due to playing whilst offline? This sort of thing only works for games and devices that can have a constant online connection, which doesn't work for handhelds.

Also, your final paragraph basically describes the way the cloud versions of games on Switch works, like Kingdom Hearts. Not everyone has a connection strong enough to stream those games. It just adds an extra cost barrier to stop those who are less affluent from being able to have fun with what little spare money they may have, by making them spend extra on faster internet connections, which in less affluent areas are also less likely to be available.

I had this happen with a Vita game once.

I've gotten a Pokémon one of these from a seller on etsy. Ended up having a Silcoon inside it. However, I got to use it in the bridal suite of a hotel, due to getting upgraded to a better room. The seller I got mine from does all sorts.

I remember when IGN slated the Wii U for being a tablet add on for the Wii, not realising it's a whole new console and the GamePad was a controller that only worked on the Wii U. This gives off vibes of what IGN thought the Wii U was.

I'm still waiting on the SplatFest ones to go live.

I know they're annoying, but anytime I come across one of these backpack Koroks, I go ahead and talk to him and reunite him with his fried. Almost always by foot as well. I can't be mean to the little fellas.

Another one for the list of keyrings we're waiting for on My Nintendo outside of the US.

@Axl_abe People do say Nintendo of Japan, to differentiate the Japanese headquarters of Nintendo from Nintendo of America and Nintendo of Europe. Yes, it technically isn't called Nintendo of Japan, but NoA and NoE are official names, so it makes sense.

@Serpenterror Yeah, the quality isn't very good. I was just mentioning there was a convention last year with an exclusive GBA Video Cartridge released for the charity auction.

@Serpenterror @dimi You should have been at UKPonyCon 2022. They had an exclusive Game Boy Video release of their own at the charity auction, My Little Pony Rescue At Midnight Castle. Only 2 copies exist, one of which was bought for £85 at that convention's auction (all money was for charity).

I had hoped we'd still have the free ones because there's be no way to buy plays after the eShop closure. Sad to hear.

Ah, Free Comic Book Day, the day that means that spending time with my family on the weekend nearest my birthday always involves popping to a comic book shop at some point.

I loved using this. Made a Splatoon drawing on my 3DS in 2015. Not the most arty of people, but it was a starting point for me.

If their customer service is even a fraction of how bad the customer service is on the online store in the UK, then it wouldn't surprise me that it's been shut down. The customer support team at the UK store is so rude and unhelpful and they like to blame the customer for problems caused by a courier.

@rjejr Yeah, it's just a case of them wording things in a way that makes it seem like it's something else. I think they're implying that because drinks lead to getting more likely odds of certain chunks, with the chunks allowong you to get abilities, then the tokens give you extra abilities.

@rjejr Igt's not exactly pay to win. These are items that are completely free to get hold of in game you're just getting offered a few extra if you pre-order the DLC.

Just watch Ecstasy of Order if you want to watch a good Tetris film.

I wish that Sonic Anniversary collections were this thorough with the versions of games they include. Like why aren't the Master System versions ever available to play? I know the 3DS had VC releases of the Game Gear versions, which were technically the same game, but they had the tiny boxed in screen rather than the full screen glory of 8-bit Sonic.

@Bass_X0 Again, this isn't "Twitter transh", this is a creator profiting off a product and amassing an army of hate and NintendoLife staff literally saying people are welcome to say that's the reason they aren't buying the game, then you saying that they shouldn't say that, despite the owners of the site allowing it. Their quote, which I will paste for you again says that people are allowed to say that that is the reason for them not buying the game. Learn how to read.

"You're welcome to state that you won't be buying the game for these reasons, but otherwise remain on topic of the game itself."

@Bass_X0 It's not controversial Twitter drama, but again, I will quote what NintendoLife put in the first comment:

"You're welcome to state that you won't be buying the game for these reasons, but otherwise remain on topic of the game itself."

@Bass_X0 Did you even read NintendoLife's own initial comment that said people are welcome to say that?

"You're welcome to state that you won't be buying the game for these reasons, but otherwise remain on topic of the game itself."

@rjejr No worries. Glad you found it. I thought describing it as the "orange place" would be the easiest description for it. I'm still trying to figure out the lay of the land and I did play Splatoon 2 a lot, so you're not alone in getting lost in Splatsville.

@rjejr Salmon Run is the orange place next to the Lobby. You can teleport directly there by pressing X in the Lobby, Square or shops and going to the GrizzCo option.

@jirizarr1231 There are some cool 3D printable ones, if you c=an access a 3D printer. Definitely worth a try. I was able to access one at a place where I volunteer, so went in after my hand surgery with the files downloaded and printed them. Definitely worth it to keep up with gaming.
