God damn this game looks so awesome, I can't wait! I hope we get the special edition over here!

I was a bit heart broken as I spent my stars on one of those Mario Kart trophies thinking there would be nothing else... Then the coin and album arrived on the site about a day later :p ah well. It's been a good run for free goodies. How long do you guys typically wait? I'm still waiting for my trophy and it's been about a month

I really don't know how they'll fit more on the 3DS screen :p but yes, exciting news! And I love the new levels, Mario Maker is one of the most fun and inventive since Melee. I love everything about Smash 4 but the one complaint I had is that none of the levels get quite as crazy as in the Melee days (Rainbow Ride, Poke Floats) possibly as a result of all these competitive smashers, so Mario Maker made a nice change

I've found the option to attach the bowser or toad music to Mario so it plays through the whole level which is pretty neat, I just wish there were more songs to choose from because whilst I LOVE the editing music, constantly hearing that same original theme when actually playing is driving me insane.

I just realised this swanky new forum we're on is 10 years old. Many a person joined Revo-Europe in September 10 years ago. I still remember mourning the C-E forums, where does the time go? What are some of your favourite forum moments from the last 10 years? Here's to another 10! (When I'll be in my mid-30's)

I have been wishing for this at every e3 for as long as I can remember : peace: Instead they'll probably announce Pikmin 5 for 2017 :p

I'm a bit late to the party with this news but what do you all make of the Starfox delay? Do you think it will change the course of Wii U much this Christmas? I'm bitterly disappointed. Whilst there's a mix of games for the holiday season, I feel Starfox was the mainstream one (in a Nintendo sense, I wouldn't say it appeals to the general gaming populas). Sure we have Xenoblade X that will be great but I think JRPG's are more niche than our Fox and Mario Tennis as good as it may be just isn't meaty enough to class as a big game, it's more of a fun side game you'd get along something else. For me it's the first Christmas holidays I'll have without a new Nintendo game. Then again in my current job I don't get much of a Christmas holiday so maybe it's the perfect year for this to happen :p

Struggling with life in general but that doesn't make a change :p But honestly, geeeeez what a terrible year so far. Ever since I lost my niece in late March this year I've kinda just been walking around as a zombie. I've been suffering on and off with anxiety and depression for years but always managed to overcome it after the odd bad month. Seeing all my family change has been the weirdest. my mom who is always so strong and happy, seeing her so low is really strange and bizarre, my brother is totally destroyed by the situation (understandably as his first son) and just family in general is like ugh, this is so shit. So many mornings this year I've woken up and wished I was still dreaming, I just cba with life most of the time now. So many days I've just thought fuck it, I'm not ready for the world today and stayed in bed. If it wasn't for work I'd be such a shut in. Luckily I have some close friends who are amazing and I've still seen and hung out with them on a regular basis. I was starting to think I may be normal again though until this weekend. I used to love going out but haven't properly been out for ages. I went out this weekend and enjoyed it intially but just totally freaked out at one point and had to go home early. I felt bad because the way I left was pretty lame. I just said to the guys 'I need to get some air' and then ordered a taxi home. I text them later saying where I went off to and felt terrible but just couldnt handle being out in public all of a sudden. My line of work right now really isn't helping my mood either. I'm just constantly surrounded by death and I just can't deal with that right now. A mad man trying to console grieving families is not a recipe for success :p I am really considering quitting right now but keep putting myself off as I think being jobless with this state of mind may be worse than my current situation.

The pedometer stuff looks really fun. The screenshots you guys are posting... that's the kinda quirky stuff you don't really get with phone apps. I've been playing a lot of Wii Fit Plus on my Wii lately as I'm back on a diet and exercise. Is this new game worth it? As I said, the Pedometer stuff looks really fun, but how many new exercises are there? Is it a full new Wii Fit or more of a Wii Fit plus plus?

That's a shame but understandable, when I saw all their random Twitter announcements I thought maybe that was the case. I'm looking forward to Starfox now despite how short I assume it will be. Still torn on Mario Maker, it looks amazing in trailers but.. I'm not that creative so a lot of it will be lost on me. And as much as I like watching people play and complete crazy levels, I know I'll just get frustrated.

I've had a pretty heavy week at work. People not getting on and being petty, reporting each other for minor things instead of helping each other out. I don't get involved with it but it makes for a bad atmosphere. Ive said it once to them that they should discuss the problems with the people themselves and try and sort it out instead of making things awkward as we're all on 12 hour shifts so we've gotta work together and get on. I didn't keep repeating myself though cause most workers are 30 or 40 so what place do I have telling them how to act and behave. Anyway, along with that I had the first death on shift which I haven't had to deal with before. It was sad because he's one of the residents that's been there since I started and he always had a laugh with me. Washing him after his death and consoling his family when they arrived at 3am was a bit much as I'm a fragile flower atm as it is. Anyway we had a nights meeting yesterday to discuss all the problems with staff and whatever and it felt like a kick in the teeth after all the effort I've been putting in. But after the meeting the manager called me and one other girl into her office and said that we're both doing a really good job and are the kinda people they want on nights, to keep doing what we're doing and know that they appreciate our effort and that they're gonna try their best to keep improving the workplace. It was nice to be recognised and a bit unexpected I'm off for a week now too so hopefully after a rest I can go back in there with a fresh outlook.

I called them and they said they were waiting for certain parts and it should be ready by the end of this week. Then I got a text from Nintendo saying its being fixed, then another an hour later saying its been fixed and due tomorrow. I'll remember to just ring in future

Nintendo's customer service is abysmal. I sent my Wii U Gamepad two and half weeks ago and got a phone call on the Wednesday following (the 15th) saying it had been received and the problem had been found. I was told on the phone how much it would be and that I could pay for it there and then. So I paid for it over the phone using my debit card. A day later I get a letter dated for Thursday (the 16th), the day after I'd made the payment, saying I still needed to pay to get my device fixed. I then looked on the website and it said my device was still waiting for a diagnosis. I waited a few days to see if there was just some miscommunication between departments but on Saturday the website still said the Gamepad had not been diagnosed despite being told different things via email and phone. I tried getting in contact via the IM feature on the Nintendo services page but it just kept saying the client had logged out every time I went on. I then tried emailing using the website and got an error message every time I clicked send. 7 days since payment, the maximum amount of time stated for a return after payment, I sent an email as I'm now clueless as to if my payment has gone through, whether the device has been looked at and if/when I'll get my Gamepad back. nearly a week later and no response from that email either and the website still says the Gamepad is 'undiagnosed' so I ring them up this morning and they say 'oh yes, it's a big repair so we're waiting on parts, hopefully it will be with you by the end of this week, we were going to email you about it' and ended the call rather abruptly. As if spending £50 to fix a controller that broke due to no fault of my own wasn't bad enough, they treat you like this as a customer. What a load of bollocks.

I'd never considered Bill in that position, but from a personality perspective it would be great, he is a big Nintendo personality these days. I really don't know much about business so can't make an informed choice, but merely from a 'he makes good games and I like him' point of view, I'd LOVE Sakurai to head Nintendo. He really pushed the Gamecube and Wii with the Smash games and he's always so dead-set on fan service. But again, just because he's a great game-designer, doesn't mean he'd be a good business man :p Like you've all said, they will be very large shoes to fill, from a business and personality aspect. Looking back now, it certainly does seem as though the writing was on the wall. I always found it a bit bizarre as to how specific they were about Iwata's illness, I feel as though most companies/pr wouldn't go into as much detail as to say exactly what the problem was. Not only that but his lack of Nintendo Direct appearances, his abscence from E3 and the masses of plans he put into place this year, almost ensuring Nintendo were on the right path even after his passing. Very sad.

Yes, thankyou @Glen\-i - It's been a really fun watch and I'd welcome more videos like this You guys are great!

I woke up in the early hours of this morning for some reason and decided to browse Twitter a bit before going back to sleep, that's when I saw the news and man did it put a knot in my stomach. I've never felt like this about the death of a celebrity (especially not for a president of a company) but he was so personable and funny to watch and has had such an impact on my life that I am deeply saddened by this loss. Reading through this thread, some of the posts actually made me tear up, which is a feeling I wouldn't have thought I'd ever have for someone I've never met, it just goes to show what a great man he was. Though I loved his appearances on Nintendo Direct, with his funny hats, muppet forms and "DIRECT TO YOU", the games are where he left such a lasting impression. I was quite a loner in my teenage years so the GameCube and Nintendo were a massive form of escapism for me and something that I will hold close to my heart for the rest of my life, even if my interest in gaming wanes as the years go on. His involvement in Melee, the game that solidified my obsession with the world of Nintendo, is what I'll remember him for the most and the release of my two favourite gaming devices, the DS and Wii, will have a legacy for years to come. And it was this Earthbound post that got me the most, that game always pulls at my heartstrings.

I was so hyped for this a few years ago but the more I see it, the more uninterested I become it just looks such a mess control-wise and graphically. I dunno, I'd have to play it to get a feel for it but the gameplay videos I've seen have looked confusing and all over the place. Then again I did think that about Gravity Rush until I played it and then I loved it.

Driving lessons. Being able to drive is a necessity but DAMN do I fucking hate it. Had about 30 lessons but then stopped just over a year ago. So many rules, so many idiots around, so much money, such little enjoyment.

Tht was me, thx 4 brthday msgs x

There's something about Monster Games that I LOVE. Excite Truck and Pilot Wings are two of my favourite games on Wii and 3DS. I will never forgive Nintendo for how awful they have treated that development studio. Could they really not get anyone else to port their stuff? Ugh.

Thanks guys This thread is beautiful @S\.C\.G that AiAi looks amazing apart from the... bird poo ears D: And it's my Birthday today! But I appreciate how eager you all were to celebrate it

I have the game and blue Yoshi pre-ordered but damn, that pink one looks nice. I might have to get that as well, they're so cute. I saw someone post the Amiibo bum patch earlier and damn, just makes me want it even more.

Sorry to ruin your fun The lack of Wii Motion Plus is depressing but don't knock it 'till you've tried it @Wii :p it may not be your type of game but it improves on each entry and still offers DLC and online support, you don't see that in many Wii games these days. Or many Wii games existing in general.

Gah! I keep seeing everyone's yarn Yoshi's on here and Instagram and Twitter , here's no escape! Mine hasn't turned up so its too late now, hopefully tomorrow!

@Wii It will be online through ubisofts servers, I guess it's just easier to use that recognisable logo than to put a different logo on to signify you can still use it online.
