The point of computer games is that they're fun. If restore points can make a game more enjoyable or let a person who otherwise might never be able to complete a game to do so, what's the harm? If someone however uses them and tries to pass themselves off as being some sort of gaming expert but not admitting that they've used them then that's a bit sad.

Splatoon doesn’t allow any customisation match types online with friends like in Smash Bros. or MK8. More regression. http://ie.ign.com/articles/2015/04/21/splatoon-hands-on-impressions-of-1v1-battle-dojo-amiibo-and-more

There is another big difference, there's also no pre installed copy of NintendoLand, you instead get the P.O.S that is Wii Karaoke U and only a trial of it. Yippee! This bundle comes 3 weeks after the games release which is another bizarre decision. Don't even try to work out Nintendo's logic because very often there is none.

Famitsu have reviewed Xenoblade Chronicles X and scored it 9/9/8/8, 34/40 or 85%. I know it's good but I still expected better, it is Famitsu after all. Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: China got the same numbers in this weeks reviews section.

Mario Kart 8 Analysis - Neo Bowser City 3DS DLC Track (Secrets & Hidden Details)

Reconfirmation of what we know is coming this Thursday. [TWEET]590198355084599296[/TWEET] I don't know about ye but this will be a first ever for me. Never in general play have I had to use the brake button. It'll shake things up substantially.

It doesn't always auto update. I had to download the Smash Bros. update patch last week.

I voted for Metroid: Other M. It had some bad bits like the pixel hunts, using the Wii remote only was a bad decision and some of the story was pants. But I really liked it and it has a solid foundation. It's how Metroid should be played, I'd take an Other M style game over a Prime game. She's fast, nimble and agile, the way Samus should be and it allows for better gameplay possibilities. I loved some of the CGI trailers, the Mother Brain trailer gave me goosebumps.

There's no public holiday in Germany. If you watch the 19:30 minute mark of the NVC I posted here yesterday, what's up with Splatoon Boy and Girl? DLC characters in Smash or MK8?

Those are my favourite too. Here's some more of the back of his head.

Nintendo will be holding 2 streams during NicoNico Chokaigi on April 25 and 26. They're on pretty late for us, 2:15 a.m. UK time. They're said to be using a near-final build of the game.

With no news yet of what's releasing this week on the eShop, maybe we're getting a mini Direct for MK8?

The delay may be tied into the Mario Kart 8 DLC. Imagine if there's real Battle Mode courses and they've been keeping it under wraps. Keep dreaming!

It's the last day to register them but you can still use them up until September in the Stars catalogue.

The eShop weekly press release is unusually late this morning. It should have been out a couple of hours ago. I hope there's some big surprises. Wild prediction. Splatoon demo this Thursday.

Remember today is your last day to register your points cards. Just can't get enough of these surveys.
