How safe is it to buy a second hand pro controller? I know the guy, he won't lie to me, but as he played Bayonetta on it and himself said that he had to use it a lot in that game I am not sure is there a risk for the thing to break down? .
This is Nintendo we're talkin' about. That thing would survive a nuclear holocaust :wink:. If it's an official pro controller, you should be fine.

Sorry everyone, out tonight, need to work late

Think I can make it tomorrow, will confirm sometime in the afternoon.

Got this in the sales, finally bit the bullet, after hearing NWR praising it for 2+ years. It's my first ever Fire Emblem game, fancied a challenge and I'm instantly regretting starting on hard mode. Can't get past chapter 2... Thank God I didn't switch on permadeath...

I played Starwing (lol) as a kid and didn't like it. Maybe I was too young to appreciate it at the time, but Lylatwars (really, so weird to refer to these games by there orginal EU names) absolutely blew my 11-year-old socks off! The story was fantastic, touching, especially after discovering the secret exit on Venom, the graphics were great, as were the controls and the sense of maneuverablity.
My lasting memory however, is of course the rumble pack. Hitting the eight switches on MacBeth triggered the train explosion at the end of the level. My and my friend used to sit the controller on the table and see how far it would move during the explosion. I think the record was 25cm or something like that. Watching it move, freak out even, of it's own accord was brilliant fun. Simpler times.

It kind of lacks soul. It's like an art student that has studied the exam requirements and made sure they nailed all of them, but at the expense of expressing any independent thought.
You've absolutely nailed it. The feeling between the NES / SNES era games and the modern "new" series are night and day and this is exactly why. The originals were all a labour of love, unique and innovative, where as the new ones were a paint-by-numbers cash-in.
I rate Banjo Kazooie higher than Mario 64. Far more character, hilarious writing and innuendo, amazing soundtrack all made for a better game, IMO.Still, the release of a 3D Mario game is always a special time.
Even though I've never owned Mario 64, I've played it to the end more times than I care to remember and this is spot on. Banjo was better in every way. Took the formula and perfected it. Hell, I even rate Sunshine more highly than 64.

Just thinking about the value of the service. If you spend £50 you get 80 gold coins. Punch Out is 70 an costs £5.49 so the value of 80 gold coins is £6.27. Which is 12.5% cash back.
That's actually pretty good. I guess the catch is you can't choose whatever game you want but its still pretty nice.
I'm still undecided about this system in comparison to the earlier one they had on the WiiU, where £50 would net you £5 eshop credit, a clean 10% back. Of course I like that we're essentially getting more, and 40% off Splatoon, for example, is a smashing deal for 80 gold coins or whatever it is, but there is much, much less choice this way. I spent all my previous discounts on indie games, or putting money towards indie games, all of which have been superb though probably wouldn't have paid full price for. So far they only have discounts on retail releases, which are expensive anyway, or VC games which I'm not interested in until crossbuy becomes a thing.
I suppose in a couple of months we'll have a clearer idea of how things will work out, though for now I'm still on the fence.
-
Has there been any word on how often the deals on My Nintendo will be changing or updating. I got Fire Emblem Awakening today in the e-shop deal and now have 70 gold coins, but none of the current offers really appeal to me. Also the coins apparently expire after six months, right?
-
:laughing: Those are amazing!

Anyone think we'll see platinum points in other games before NX then? Maybe in Starfox, Zelda? Something on the 3DS, Pokemon Sun/Moon?
-
I've just hit 1000 points, but I am still in doubt if I'm going to spend it on this game. Picross is all right but I'm not the biggest fan, and it is difficult to guess when something else interesting is going to pop up in the rewards. How are your experiences with the actual game?
There is a lot of content in the game, a surprising amount actually. I'm much happier with this than I was with Pokemon Picross. Would probably be decent to whip out on a short commute.
-
I'm sat in a bar on my fourth beer, just changed my outfit on Miitomo and earned 5 platinum points. I got to a thousand points and downloaded Twilight Princess Picross to my 3DS, for free, all from my smartphone.
Welcome to the future, Nintendo! (at last)
-
I'm also gonna have to be out tonight.. I didn't realise the clocks had gone back in the UK and I'll still be working at 8pm. Hopefully next week.
-
With Miitomo launching this Thursday and seeing as how we cannot add each other using our Nintendo IDs, I thought it would good to have a place where people could leave there Facebook and / or Twitter information so we can all appear in each other's game.... Or app (sorry!). Anyone willing to share their details, please do so below and make sure you check friends requests / follow people back so you become friends in Miitomo.
I'll get the ball rolling. Looking forward to answering questions on you all.

I think it'd be a real shame to lose the gamepad, or at least the 2nd screen. Although I don't have a working TV and play games through a monitor, I still often use the gamepad in bed etc, or if my girlfriend is surfing the net. I think it's added more to Nintendo games than the Wiimote did, and coupled with the DS I think losing the touchscreen would be a step backwards, even if not all games use it.
-
Yeah, the full version seems to run much better than the demo. Feels totally different.
I gave the demo version a shot last night on an original 3DS and thought the framerate really wasn't that bad... Certainly much better than when 3D is switched on on new 3DS. Definitely playable. If the retail version runs even better then that's great news.

Wow... awesome level, loved it! haha.. I've got the world record but I'm sure that won't stand for much longer!
Very entertaining, the only bit I didn't like was that bit where you go above ground and have those 3 single block landing areas? I managed the first 2, but was over cautious on my first attempt so came to a stand still on each block.. but I needed momentum to reach the 3rd >< second run through I found your check point, expected to need it but actually got through without any problems
Ok.. with problems but without dying! :P
Level was actually a near perfect balance of unpredictable but with a clear and fair path to follow.. well perfect for my low skill level :P Loved the boss fight too
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it
The outside section is supposed to provide a little bit of respite from the cramped caves in favour of a bit of pure (albeit short) platforming. Took me a while to perfect the jumps but it is possible to do it at full speed, that's why I love the original SMB physics, they are near perfect. I think the level itself is fairly straightforward, and not too complex but anyway, thanks for starring it -
Love this theme, I'm in!

My first attempt at a course using some of the new items, Zelda inspired goodness. Progession requires specific items / states. Lots of hidden items to find as well but they aren't necessary to finish the level, just for assistance.
Give it a try, can you get the triforce? : peace:

Got booted out of the first race right before the finish line.... Managed to get back in for the second race, but obviously no points for the first

I refuse to believe this is real, even if some of the ideas sound quite positive, from my perspective.... Generally agree with HoT, it's pointless thinking about it until we know for sure, but man those fireworks on the Gaf are so, so beautiful.
-
As a original 3DS owner, I have to disagree with this. The game runs like garbage on the original 3DS. I'm quite honestly shocked that it is seeing a release on that model. It's certainly not up to the standards of a game that holds a key Nintendo IP. They really should have just made it a NEW 3DS exclusive.
I downloaded the demo last night to my girlfriend's 3DS, gonna fire it up myself tonight and possibly edit the end of the review. Seems people on the Gaf are pretty torn about it, lots of people argue that it's playable, lots of people disagree.

Shantae: Risky’s Revenge Director’s Cut (WayForward, €9.99/ £6.99)
Wii U Retail DLC
Hyrule Warriors: Legends: Legends of Hyrule Pack: 3DS / Wii U Bundle (Nintendo, €16.99/ £15.29)
That is a ridiculous pounds price compared to the price in Euros. Why should UK gamers pay more? Even a game like Shantae doesn't use currency conversion to screw over the buyer.

Same thing also happened to me last week! Was worried that an update or something had broken the framerate, have been too scared to try it since
