RedShell

Man, Nintendo are starting to go nuts with DLC.

Loving that.

Yes, yes and Hell yes. I always try not to get too hyped for E3, but it never works out. And this year is going to be excitement overload. The combo of playing MK8 + Nintendo's E3 goodness is gonna be awesome. Not really thought about predictions. It's pointless anyway, Nintendo simply can't be predicted. I will say this though, with Mario, Pikmin and DK already out, plus MK and Smash pretty much done and dusted, it means mucho surprises must be heading our way.

Hahaha! Check out 1:43 on that vid. Looks like my awesome hammer skills will actually be useful in MH4. That's pretty damn sweet how you can now attack after being launched like that, rather than just slamming into the ground. :awesome: Still really hoping a Wii U version gets revealed. If it doesn't happen I'll still get MH4 on 3DS, but there's no doubt that I'd rather play it on Wii U.

R. Lampkin is now at RedShell FC. But I renamed him Mokong.

I can confirm that this is very much the case. Outside of choosing when to make a substitution, the only thing you can do during a match is watch the game, switch between various pages of stats and alter player positions. And when playing team data online there's even less interaction, as even substitutions become automated. As boring as that sounds, for some reason I'm still enjoying it. @Mokong, just beat your team 2-0. Here's my ID: 2B4C66D88 Online profile pages are up now too, here's mine: http://microsite.nintendo-europe.com/NPFC/enGB/team.php?team_code=2B4C66D88 Seems to be a delay though. In-game my European Ranking is 207, and on the website it's 309.

Still a bit early to tell really.In some ways it does seem too simple, but in others it's pretty damn confusing. It's definitely going to take some time to properly get into this I reckon, things are moving at a pretty slow pace so far, and leveling up individual player attributes appears to be a very slow process indeed. I've found the games are getting increasingly enjoyable though the more I play. And I'm actually starting to celebrate goals and get annoyed with my players when they do stupid stuff. One of them got a direct red in a match once! I was livid.

Seems like it's only possible to make those changes at half time or during a substitution, yeah. Nope. The only way you can play more in less time is to do the "45 min" practice games.It's a shame they didn't add the fast forward feature of the video replay mode to the live matches.

My team is RedShell FC (couldn't come up with anything creative ) didn't make a note of my ID either but will grab it next time I go online. This game is pretty confusing. Loving the presentation though, the player sprites are so cute. One of my strikers tried to hit the ball on the volley earlier, but missed completely. The way he spun around was hilarious!

... Great minds.

You're forgiven. And cheers for reminding me of this classic:

Coins as a usable item (i.e. obtainable from a [?] on the racetrack) have only been in SMK and now MK8, trust me.

Interesting, that's the first one I've noticed.Probably killed the other ones before even realising they were 'different'.

Ooh... A 14 page booklet with gorgeous artwork, descriptions for every single track and a few words from Mahito Yokota & Koji Kondo is included.

I reckon it will be, yeah. Seems like a lot of peeps on Gaf got it today as well.

Wowzers! SM3DW soundtrack GET! Gone are the days when stuff would take months to arrive from the Stars Catalogue. Nice one, Nintendo!

Some off-screen pics of the UI appeared, one from the character select screen and another of the cup selection screen. Have added them to the first post. Gonna be interesting to see if 30 characters will actually be the final amount, or if we can expect even more! If it does end up being 30 though, the likelihood is that only 2 will be from the Mario universe, and the remaining character slot is to select your Mii. Who are people expecting/wanting to be included? I'm hoping Birdo is back, purely to torment people when playing online.

Nope: Nintendogs + cats and New Style Boutique got demos too.

A demo for this is hitting the eShop on Thursday.

Spaaaaaaace Channel 5! :awesome:

LOL @ that Fuzzy-Felt tunic.

@Dcubed, you definitely don't need to type before and after. *EDIT* I think it's a bit unfair how the original DS versions are so blownup. If you scale these down to 256 × 192 (the actual resolution of the NDS screens) the difference is a little less insane:
