A really fantastic, insightful and well put together video here, some of it you may already know about but it's worth watching.
It just hit home again for me just how much we should be thankful for from within Nintendo.
Hiroshi Yamauchi - Satoru Iwata - Gunpei Yokoi
Gone but not forgotten.
Ah man, right in the feels

No Nintendo Voice Chat this week.... NX presumably being announced next week...
COINCIDENCE??? I think not
In other news, looking forward to sinking my teeth (ears) into 13 hours of RFN goodness this coming week.

I could have played tonight but comepletely forgot... :/

All 6 series of Still Game are now on Netflix. I would highly recommend you watch this BBC Scotland sitcom. It's about 2 pensioners living in Glasgow and their daily antics.
I realise it's not for everyone and some people might struggle with the accents and the sense of humour but if you have half an hour to kill give the first episode a go and see what you think. Most people in Scotland rate it as one of the best sitcoms ever made.
There's also a new series after a very long break starting this Friday at 9:30pm on BBC 1, broadcast across the whole of the UK.
One of the best comedies produced on these fair isles. Being half Scottish I absolutely love it, but I'm not sure how well it would translate to the other nations of the U.K if the viewer has little knowledge of Scottish culture and language.

Absolutely no way it's going to be called Duo after Google just released a facetime rival with the same name. As fake as fake can be.

Whooo-hoo, glad to see you're enjoying it. But how did you get 2017 for £15? (or did you get 2016?).
It really is like the old days for me Pro Evo > Fifa.
Because I have a Russian bank card from when I lived there, prices in roubles are generally half the price of those in Pounds or Euros.

Had a quick go last night, played an 'International Cup' - those naming rights
Must say I'm very impressed, love the way this plays. I haven't dove too deeply into the tactics or anything, but last night reminded me why PES > FIFA every day of the week. I had Australia, USA and Iceland (oh god) in my group playing as England. I was one up against Australia at half time and dominating them on the wings. They rallied mid-way throught the second half and I couldn't get into the final third. They ended up winning 2-1. I demolished the US in the second game 4-0 by changing up my system from wingers with pace to a more technical, patient approach using passing and finding space. Switched out Dele Alli, Stirling and Lallana for Rooney, Milner and Wilshire. The third game was a cracker, I opted for the same system I'd used against the USA. Iceland hit me with a ball over the top in the 5th minute and then I went all out attack for the rest of the game, but they kept closing me down and I couldn't find any space. They put everyone behind the ball playing counter-attack and their keeper was on fire (guess they finally improved them!). I ended up scoring around the 70th minute with a header from a cross after making 3 subs at half time and then it was completely end-to-end for the final 20 mins. Defenders on both sides all over the place. It finished 1-1 and I went out of the tournament.
3 completely different games, a variety of goals scored - headers, shooting from distance, free-kicks, through balls. This is why I love PES over FIFA, because no two games are the same. There is no tried and tested method of scoring a goal, it's about sizing up your opponent and playing to your strengths and their weaknesses.
Now I haven't played FIFA since 2015, but as I remember, the series had barely changed from the PS2 days, if we speak exclusively about the techinal side of simulating a game of football, the physics. Sure it's got the bells and whistles and the presentation really is out of this world, but as a pure football simulator it pales in comparison to PES. The majority of goals tended, at least for me, to come from one-on-one situations with the keeper and it was always a chore to take people on, rarely coming off. Now I may be wrong, seeing as how I haven't played for a couple of years, but the king of football games is definitely PES in my opinion. Feels just as good as it did in the PS2 days, if not better.

Took the plunge on PC as it was only £15 on steam (can still pay for things in rubles with my old Russian mastercard, yay!). It has been years since I played this and I have never loved FIFA. I couldn't care less about the graphics despite them getting slated in the steam reviews. If this plays well, then I can see many sessions lasting until 3 or 4am on the master league
Can anyone also recommend a good site for option files? Love having all the offical kits and players

@Pestneb - Yeah Im not to clued up on specs and really dont want to be. But after buying my beloved Surface Pro 3 i7 I realised its one of the few fairly capable laptops Ive owned. But I downloaded Sonic 3 only to be met with unplayable lag, yet Pro evo 17 and AC4 work a charm.
Anyway... Steam and Pokemon may just tide me over until NX arrives.
Sorry to go off topic everyone but I really want PES 17 on PC, but I've heard it's not as good as the console versions. What says you King V, would you recommend it? I've not played since '11 or '12

@are1981@The Mole@Kounan@Nicktendo@Nigel and anyone else happening to read this.. interested in turf wars/squad/private battle??
Not today or this weekend I'm afraid. Busy with work :/

What an aboslute pillock. £3 million a year, dream job and he still couldn't resist pure greed. Deserved to go.
The press in this country though, absolute scum. Cost a man his job for no reason other than to sell a story. It's disgusting the amount of power they have.
-
I'm also happy to chip in where needed in terms of organizing the event, or helping out with something on the day / night. I've put a request in at work for the Fri and Sat off and can't see why I'd be made to work it.
-
I'm also interested in this.
-
@Ike I was on the other side of the road Thanks though, I'll check it out next time I'm home!

I went to York yesterday so I went to check out the retro store there. It's a pretty decent sized store, a mix of PAL and Japanese games & consoles mostly.
I was in back home in York last weekend and I looked EVERYWHERE for this shop and couldn't find it. I was stood outside it according to Google Maps but it was just an empty retail unit with workmen redecorating the interior. Is it actually on Gillygate or has it moved?
-
I live about 6 miles from Bury and provided I'm not working (I'll try and book it off) I can potentially make it to the marathon and take part

This is related to the Wii as opposed to the Wii U, but anyway, my new monitor obviously doesn't have a component input and I want to hook my original Wii up to it. Has anyone had any experience using one of these before:
Obviously there are loads of good reviews on there, but I'd rather get the opinion from someone in our respected community before biting the bullet, if any of you have used one

I'm out this week. Waiting on BT to connect my Internet. Probably not going to make it next week either, considering the dates I've been offered for an install :/
-
Final few hours before the reset, Are, DuD and Nicktendo currently hold the top 3 positions.
How are you working out the results Pestneb? Is there some kind of formula or simply the scores from Ranked and Turf Wars from SplatNet? What's the weighting etc.?
I had a horrible night last night. Played 9 games and lost 8. Absolutely shocking and a number of disconnects...
-
GP2 though! So close, and right to the end of rainbow road. Didn't have a great time in GP3 but it was an awesome night! Cheers guys.
Edit: About GP3. Bloody Baby Park... For six laps I led by miles. Blue shell, red shell, red shell, pirahna, some t*** with a star. Last place. I both love and hate Mario Kart 8 in equal amounts, and you guys, obviously.
-
I can play tonight, 8pm UK time, right?
-
A small part of me has just died inside. We are truly witnessing the end times
-
I tired listening to the Nintendo Direct episode of If We Ran Nintendo but couldn't make it through the whole thing. The main guy just annoys me too much.
I also switched off halfway through, if I wanted to hear this much nonsense I'd go to the NX thread
-
I just put the game disc in for the first time since May and I am absolutely terrified to play Ranked Battle because I know I'll lose my A- ranking almost immediately. What has happened in this game? Almost everyone is level 50 and the population of Japanese playings has grown even MORE, it's ridiculous! I am getting absolutely slaughtered
Still, 1000 points for a victory is nice, when did that happen? Gonna keep playing and hopefully get my game back before taking on Ranked Battle.

As far as I know they've only skipped one show this year, while Jose was in Japan a couple of weeks ago. Usually they would just let Kallie bore us to tears instead of cancelling with no explanation
