Well, this is still on every game box: Seriously though, I don't think the quality has gone, just that they seem to be much less focused these days. The huge success of Wii and DS appears to have left Nintendo in a state of confusion, and it's as if they don't know who they're targeting anymore. Is it the casual market? Is it the hardcore/old-school Nintendo fans? They're not really doing a good job of catering for either at the moment. And then there's stuff like amiibo and the QoL projects, plus the upcoming foray into the mobile gaming space. It's not surprising everything has gone a bit wonky, with so much different stuff going on. I kind of wish they would just drop everything else and focus 100% on traditional gaming. An unrealistic idea as they're obviously struggling in that area at the moment, hence the expansion into new areas of business. But yeah, I definitely don't think there's any problem with the quality of their games, but rather the quantity. The droughts on 3DS and Wii U have been horrendous and incredibly damaging to the image of both of those systems. But at the same time, there isn't really anything that Nintendo can do to rectify that now. Just have to hope they've learnt from what went down with the 3DS and Wii U and have managed to sort it out for the next systems.

Urge to buy... fading...

Good games last night. Hadn't played Mirror Mode in ages, forgot how much it could mess you up.

Seriously, how the fuck is that even possible? Creating 3D models is difficult enough with a mouse/tablet, but building something like that... from scratch... with nothing but a DS4?! One thing's for certain, they picked the perfect name for this title, because it really doesn't seem like it can be real.

Nope. But having just seen what type of game it is, I don't reckon it'll be my cup of tea anyway.

Huh, just 2 games? Oh right! They're just the PS4 titles. Not really clued-up on either of those though, they any good?

You're right (I hope ), and The Tomorrow Children (I hope once again ).Man, whether I get Mario Tennis or not, November/December is going to be crazy! Nothing new there though, ey?

Yeah, and that stuff is going to mix things up quite a bit.I'm still not even used to the standard game! Just the distance trophy to go?

Ah, of course! I was just thinking about this purely as a game and so couldn't understand why it'd take so long to be ready. :p

Yeah, I imagine you'll be well into Battlefront by then. And I'm also thinking that if Simply Games are on the ball, I could be rocking JC3 at the end of November! Which would make playing this game very difficult indeed.

So how many peeps are definitely planning to pick this game up at launch? Just wondering how active the online play will be, because it's obviously not looking good on the single player front. I'm still very much undecided.

Interesting first project. Not exactly what I was expecting or hoping for, but I do recon it could be quite successful, especially in Japan. Very surprised that it's delayed until March though. Doesn't seem like the most ambitious thing ever, and obviously reuses pre-existing assets from Tomodachi Life...

Ok, but what about Flipnote Studio 3D? Not that anyone probably cares, besides @M_rock and myself.

Yeah, I've just played through the first few chapters.Not massively impressed so far though, if I had to sum this game up in one word at the moment, it'd be slow. I know the idea is to create atmosphere, build tension and what have you, but seriously, who the hell opens doors or picks stuff up like that? It's actually creating the opposite of the desired effect, and just making me laugh instead. Game is also very old-school both visually and control-wise, got a bit of a fifth-generation vibe to it. I don't really mind that though (quite like it actually ) but I imagine some people will find it unbearable. But yeah, pretty sure this will grow on me, already has a little bit. I just hope the pace picks up slightly.

Amazing! I just cannot get my head around this, I really can't. Simply will not believe this game is real until I get to play it for myself.

Adding The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes to my list too. Wasn't expecting to see the credits roll on this one yet, as I was just checking out the final stage in single player to familiarise myself with it, before either attempting to find some randoms or hooking up with N-E peeps to properly play through it. But...

Apparently. But if it's out so soon, then why not feature it at all in yesterday's conference? Yeah, there was like a few seconds of footage from it in that montage at the start, but that doesn't count. As a PS4 exclusive I was totally expecting them to at least mention it.

Wow, that was super disappointing. Apart from the segment on Dreams that is. That looks phenomenal! I actually can't believe that's for real. Absolutely gutted there was nothing on the Tomorrow Children though. What the hell is going on with that game? No Rime either.

Having seen the way you play a few games now, that doesn't really surprise me. We can't all be such pros though. You ever play it on Mario Paint? It's been a while since I have, but I'm pretty sure it was way easier than the SMM version.

Awesome update! Hopefully they'll add Star Coins at some point too. Did they really have to make a more challenging version of Gnat Attack though? It's already pretty damn challenging.

Possibly. I also plan to watch that conference, so as long as there's no surprise post-conference download, I'll jump on after that.

Just tried that. So many Rupees! Managed to get 5 new outfits made tonight as a result. It wouldn't be the same without me doing something stupid. But yeah, that was the first time I'd ever played some of those stages/challenge types, so I'll just use that as my excuse. I did find it funny how you decided to carry me about for the majority of one stage, and while Glen-i took on the boss. At least I managed to make myself useful right at the end with the Hookshot. Yeah, the game is so rad when you've got the right setup going. Just a shame that Nintendo implemented such piss-poor online functionality for it though. The fact that friends are completely invisible in the search unless they're currently waiting in a lobby they've created, is just unbelievably stupid! You should always be able to see who's online, what they're currently up to, and be able to message them. Oh well, good job we can arrange games on here, ey?

@Hero\-of\-Time & @Glen\-i, a huge thanks to both of you for the help. Those challenges are pretty tough! Great fun though. Can't wait to make the Rupee outfit! Yeah man, seems luck was on my side today.

Have created a game.

OK, so I really want to get that Rupee outfit made, but still need the Antique Coin and a Royal Ring. Anyone else after these items and up for some games in the Fortress area at around 6pm today?
