Starfox looked great as did Paper Mario. Quite happy with everything they showed.

Paper Mario looks beautiful !

Well, I didn't hate it and was actually pleasantly surprised by some parts of it. I liked Kristen Wiig's character from what we saw of her here and I also liked the new Ecto 1. I'd seen it before from pictures taken on set but seeing it driving around the,e it looked kinda cool. I also liked the design of the ghosts, and the design of Slimer, who you briefly see in the trailer. There were a couple of bits I didn't like though: Yeah I didn't care for this part at all. I really hope Leslie Jones character isn't the stereotypical sassy woman who'll shout "aww hell no!" when things get bad. Also this part seemed a little cringe worthy to me. Edit- Just watched the trailer again and she does actually say "aw hell no"...god dammit.

yeah another great episode.

Had some thoughts on the recent episode but I couldn't get the spoiler tags to work on my phone earlier:

Has anyone here been watching series 2? The third episode went up on Netflix this morning.

I had to get the Dreamcast theme as soon as it went up. Hearing the PSO Lobby music was a very nice surprise. I also love that even moving around the menu's sounds like the dreamcast. This is also fantasic. Back when they were releasing this theme in Japan, Sega tweeted this image:

I took a few screenshots of the game during the Splatfest.

I had a great time on it tonight, I carried on playing a good two hours after reaching King and will try and play some more in the morning. Loads of really good matches. I even made an attempt to draw Blastoise on Miiverse You must have JavaScript enabled on your device to view Miiverse posts that have been embedded in a website. View post in Miiverse

GoodSmile had their Zelda figures on show at Toy fair 2016 these past few days. More pictures at Toyark

Here's that Splatoon Concert Nintendo held that I mentioned a few posts up

That's odd. I wonder why S-E would even put in a restriction like that. Can you still upload screenshots to an image host through the browser at least?

Yeah I can't imagine many people spent the £4.49 on it once they added a price tag. All the same, it doesn't seem very good that it was purchasable and within a couple of years of its release its taken away like that. It does seem odd that its being removed so quickly though. Nintendo seemed quite proud to have the app on Wii U at the time. There was even an Iwata's asks with the dev team, that of course gave us this fantastic picture:

I missed the original announcement of this, apparently the Google street view app is being taken down in a couple of days. The app itself will be discontinued on the 31st of March which means it will no longer work. [tweet]693078770073354241[/tweet] I know the app was originally free as my sister has it on her Wii U which she had since launch, but they've been charging money for it since the end of 2014, so I have to wonder if people that paid for it will get a refund.

To Celebrate Splatoon selling a Million units, Nintendo are holding a Live concert soon. They released this video of the band rehearsing for it the other day: Also, EU Splatfest on the 30th: [tweet]690851912388890625[/tweet] I only got to play the recently added stage tonight, I love the design of it. its like a games development studio:

New weapon out Friday: [tweet]687816515664654336[/tweet] This will be the final weapon to be added to Splatoon, bringing the total number of weapons to 74 (including the three weapons you unlock with amiibo).

Nintendo Directs get just as much media coverage as a press conference does and personally I feel like press conferences are getting a little outdated and stuffy to hold my interest. The long pauses between announcements for someone to walk on stage, just for the them to talk for 30 seconds to lead in to a trailer all seems unnecessary. I think revealing the NX on a Nintendo direct would be fine.

yeah that was bad timing.I had leveled up to 'Money Champion' and needed around 40 points to get to Money King and couldn't get back on after that. Team Fitness won, which i'm actually really surprised by, as half the time I was playing during the Splatfest, is was putting us against other Money teams. When we did fight a Team Fit, we'd win. Was fun as always though.

EU splatfest has started
