Anyone know when the review embargoes will lift?

I caved and pre-ordered at my local Gamestop today. €400 for the console and Zelda but I had €160 on my account from trade-ins so not as painful as I'd expected.

The Wii U has officially ceased production today, RIP. http://www.usgamer.net/articles/wii-u-production-closed-in-japan-with-13-million-in-lifetime-sales

This is the first Pokemon game I've played since Gold/Silver with Pokemon Go really bringing me back into the fold in a big way. I don't think I've ever put so much time into a game but after 108 hours I've finally completed my Pokedex 100%. A bit disappointed there wasn't a bit more fanfare over this, do I get anything for completing it?

Can anyone recommend the cheapest place to order the Special Edition from? Is there a special edition of the Wii U version?

Splatwoon would have been the obvious name but nothing is ever simple for Nintendo.

I was going to hold off on getting Skyrim for Switch but by the time the Switch version is released it'll be over a year old (and it's already a 5 year old game!) and available much cheaper on PS4. Is Yooka-Laylee not coming to Switch this year?

Not sure it's been posted but here's the first image of the UI:

Anyone have a link handy for this?

I was planning on pre-ordering after the presentation but sadly feeling a bit deflated having watched the full thing. I'm going to pick up the Wii U version of Zelda on March 3rd and hold off until later in the year to get the Switch, likely when Mario releases.

Will the Wii U have the same collector's edition? I'm thinking I may just pick this up on March 3rd for Wii U and get the Switch at a later date given the disappointing games lineup and steep pricing.

Can anyone offer me any tips on how to get Lunala in Pokemon Sun? I just want to get it registered in Pokedex so I can search on the GTS for it. However, there's no QR code available so I'm not sure how I can search for it in trade

So Yoshi is a bottom?

This guy looks epic, where did you catch him?

Do Shiny Pokemon have any additional abilities beyond their look? I've caught a Shiny Pincer (and another whose name escapes me) and have no idea if they're of value. Are there shiny versions of all Pokemon to be caught?

Yup, the middle button is just a handy shortcut!

I use Spotify while playing the game and you can get around it by pressing the "play" button on the newer earphones after you've opened Pokemon Go. On a side note the full tracking system is now in place in Ireland as of this morning, presume it's rolled out to the UK as well?

If it can run Skyrim HD it can't be too under-powered?

I'm shocked (but delighted) to see this going for pre-order at less than £200. Bare in mind that website also offers a pre-order price guarantee this all bodes very nicely for a fantastic starting price.

How can Nintendo even "blacklist" someone? Send Bowser to kidnap her?

Anyone seen any early Black Friday deals about? Wii U software discounts seem to be pretty sparse.

Thanks for all the tips, think this has sold me on the 2DS! I'll probably get the Switch 6 months after release when Nintendo drop the price

Apologies if this doesn't warrant a new thread but I'm thinking of buying a 3DS and was hoping people could offer some help on which model to get. I mostly just want it to play Pokemon Sun/Moon (Go has reignited my love of the franchise). Is there that much of a difference between the 2DS and New 3DS XL besides 3D? Is it worth splashing out the extra and getting the New 3DS? It seems to be almost a £100 difference between the two and for just £75 the 2DS seems pretty good value but I don't want a poor gaming experience either. Help appreciated as I'm very on the fence

The woman behind him appears to be praying he won't die! Maybe I imagined it but didn't Nintendo say Super Mario Run would be free to play but you'd have to pay to unlock certain features? I was sure this was announced at the time of the reveal...

I've now bought this based on your glowing recommendation and will hopefully get to around to playing it this side of Christmas! On a side note, shopping in Euro at the moment is insanely cheap, €25 for a new copy to be delivered from 365Games.
