It was an absolute pleasure to tune into this during your wee hours. Well done guys; I'm super proud to be vaguely associated everybody involved. That donation total is amazing

Bloody hell You instantly associate the username with that avatar, that legendary Nintendo collection and that undying passion for games - that's how you knew he was a great forum member and a stand-up guy.

The Japanese logo and the music are Ghibli af Really really beautiful

Absolutely horrible. Same as Esequiel - I didn't even know and I just wish that I'd kept tabs on the forum more. But I remember very clearly that he was one of the good ones - really passionate about everything he enjoyed: games, Liverpool, etc. We should all try to live our lives in such a way. RIP.

Thanks, it was driving me mad trying to remember why it sounded familiar

Hello! It's been a while since we've had a writer recruitment drive, so now's your chance if you want in on all the free games and parties and stuff. Full info here. The short version: we're looking for staff writers, so that's (mainly) news stories, but also opportunity for features, reviews, etc. To apply, simply send me an email with a mock Nintendo-related news story. As clichéd as it sounds, the most important qualities are passion about writing about Nintendo and commitment. That said, we're hoping to take on a few writers, so you've got a great chance if you are interested. There are plenty of people here who have been intimate with our inner circles before, so hopefully they can testify what a great opportunity it is! Feel free to PM me if anyone has any questions

I got excited that it was 'near to completion' until I realised it was a Miyamoto 'near to completion'. Bloody love Pikmin. I really think it's a series that has gotten stronger with each game. Will be thrilled to play the next one on whatever platform.

Glad I didn't splurge all my Stars a few weeks ago like I almost did. Pleased the coin is 'only' 2000. Picked that up, and the endings CD. Spent my remaining 500 on the hanafuda 3DS theme. On top of the Captain Toad lamp, was it worth the last 7 years of religiously hoarding all my Club Nintendo slips waiting for this very situation? Yes. Yes it was.

I'm sort of perversely enjoying the spectacle of amiibo as it evolves into one huge, morbid social experiment to discover just how far they can go with it. It's quite entertaining.

I had literally no problems with match-making or connection. You North Pole players best be careful. All that salt could melt your ice caps.

I'm really glad I can finally fight to defend my opinion on this topic.

I'm here to drink my milk and splat some Pop noobs. And I've just finished my milk.
