Yeah completely agree. For example I didn't get my Xbox 360 until early 2010, which was a good 5 years into that consoles life cycle. Not only was it still going strong at that point, it still had some of its best years ahead of it. In the end it was supported for more then a decade, which was fantastic. I like that Nintendo are going this route with longer support and it seems to be working out well with the 3DS.

I'd be very happy with that. For the past year or so anytime I've listened to gaming podcasts i've noticed that a lot of them seem to want the 3DS to be killed off and seem bothered that Nintendo are still releasing games for it but I feel the total opposite. I think its great that it gets supported after all these years and is a great budget handheld now. If in 6/7 years time the Switch is in the same situation I think that would be a good thing.

I play Splatoon 2 quite a bit but I'm not sure that'll still be the case by September, so I guess I'll see. I also think this date will slip again.

A bunch of new rewards were added to the My Nintendo program today. Still nothing for the Switch though... https://my.nintendo.com/news/66ac5989bcb539d6 Edit - seems they came out ten days ago, my mistake lol

i was thinking about doing the same but I normally regret it afterwards. I guess at least now, even if I end up disappointed with the Royal Rumble I have a month to watch through all of their old content on their network though. Last year I ended up watching through everything WWF did in 1991

It seems Miitomo is being shut down. Final day is May 9th https://www.nintendo.co.jp/support/information/2018/0125.html

I was thinking about re watching those Enterprise episodes again as well. I only saw them around a year and a half ago but I've forgotten everything about them already. I was wondering if we'll see any of the actors from Enterprise in Discovery at some point, like the Mirror version of Hoshi.

It didn't dawn on me at first but when Micheal was asked to pick a Kelpien slave by the Emperor

I had roughly the same experience. No disconnections and I did well when it was Action vs Action (which was around a third of the time) but yeah, most people in team Comedy were level 50 or close to it and most of the time we were outmatched lol Team Comedy won the Splatfest but I made it to Action King and reached level 42.

Impressive!

I'm loving thew new costumes. The online mode looks like it'll be fun too.

I saved a couple of clips myself:

I made the mistake of registering one of my games and getting gold coins for it already and at this rate they'll expire before I can even use them on anything for the switch.

I'm not sure if anyone here used to read Digitiser in the 90's (the Video game pages on Teletext ) but today marks it's 25th anniversary. To mark it there is a new edition and there will be one every day this week: https://www.digitiser2000.com/main-page/25-years-of-digitiser-day-one I absolutely loved Digitiser growing up so this has made me very happy. As an extra treat they've set it up so you can view it the original way you would have on your TV as well: http://teastop.plus.com:8080/?page=470

yeah that was a blast, enjoyed every second of it. Thanks for the games everyone and Happy new year

i think this one will be my last for the night

that was great lol

ok back now

I have to drop out for 15 minutes, i'll rejoin if you are still on after that

Whats the password for the room?

hey I can play some Splatoon from now if there's room Friend Code SW-7441-4734-3710

I picked this up on PC during the current Steam sale and I'm enjoying it, but I have some issues with it too. Firstly every stage seems to have a boss battle in it, which are long, boring and tedious. Bosses have life bars this time and they take a ridiculous amount of time to wear down. Another issue is that recent Lego games have had a character wheel that allows you to switch to different characters quickly which was a great feature, but for some reason they have not put in this game, so its back to taping the Y button and hoping you change to the character you need for a particular task (which I found most of the time, it doesn't). The voice acting sounds kinda bad as it seems the voice actors strike was taking place during development, so as far as I can hear, none of the original voices returned which is a real shame. And lastly, as to be expected there are no Xmen, Magneto, Fantastic Four etc who were a large part of the first game. Although I guess with the Fox Disney thing now, there's a chance they'll be DLC. Despite all the negative things I've said, the game is good but I am disappointed because of how great the first Lego Marvel game was. I mentioned it in the OP, but the first game really did have an almost Nintendo-like quality to it and although its probably too early for me to say as I am only half way through the game right now, I don't think this game is quite as good.

Yeah I was really surprised by The Orville. I made the assumption that Orville would just be a bunch of dick and fart jokes on a space ship but it turns out its a decent show. It even feels like TNG at times.
