Well the SNES VC stuff is also N3DS-exclusive, but I get your point

Would absolutely love to hear Kalyx's take on Alison Rapp being fired. This ought to be good.
|
Got my popcorn ready.
|
Watching the FF15 special live right now.
feel like such a nerd. |
MS announced that they finally made good on what they said about letting every XBox One be turned into a devkit.
The catch is that it's a Windows 10 store devkit and you can't make XBox games on it. No, I'm not using the Onion as my source. http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2016/0...pps-not-games/ |
The new Nintendo Account thingy is live:
https://my.nintendo.com/ Don't know if it's just Europe, but Flipnote Studio 3D is free through it as well. What was nice is that I purchased it from work and it started the download automatically. Nintendo are now only a couple of years behind the curve! Once Miitomo is out and we can earn more coins too, we'll be able to get Twilight Princess Picross for nowt as well. There's also a Mario brick block in the bottom right hand corner of the site. Click that and it'll go back to your Mii, which you cna then click a few times to get 10 bonus coins. |
I'll have to remember to czech that out tonight
|
Miitomo just launched too, at least here. Both iOS and Android.
|
I'm not a huge fan of Nintendo mobile... idk. Obviously v good for the company but I hate using touch screen for games. Pokemon Shuffle on mobile is a significantly less enjoyable experience for me relative to the 3DS counterpart.
Will prolly dl it to "kick the tires" on it but I don't foresee myself spending a ton of time with it. Maybe. |
I can see myself using Miitomo a lot, just because by doing it it looks like I'll get free and discounted "real" Nintendo games. Like Wario Ware Touched is up there, some VC games and a lot of vouchers for eShop full games. Quite fancy that 20% off Yoshi's Wooly World.
|
Oh yeah? I do enjoy discounts. I want to buy Double Dragon on VC, they should give that to me for free for downloading this.
I am writing a letter to Nintendo of America to rectify this injustice. |
You can download Double Dragon on PS4. Clearly just waiting for the NX to port it because the Wii U can't handle Jimmy and Bimmy.
Apparently there's missions to get some hearts for your answers, so we should probably all add each other and just heart any old shit we say on it for easier free shit. |
Will it have features similar to StreetPass?
The nice thing about getting a N3DSXL was that I just made a second NNID on my previous 3DS and have it just idle in my room and get constant StreetPasses of myself on my main handheld :D |
Quote:
I keep meaning to do the router hack for 10 streetpasses in one go that are all different people, but I can never be arsed. |
So you can't add each other online directly, you have to link it to Facebook and Twitter or do it face to face. Typical Nintendo.
On the plus side, it's as fucked up as Tomdachi Life, so that's good. |
dammit I can't copy my Mii from my Nintendo profile over to Miitomo, I made it unshareable or some piss. Gotta fix that ish on my 3DS I guess before starting this thing

What about when you are a PR manager for a company and you discuss those controversial political views on the same Twitter handle you use for the company you are a PR manager for?

Well she kinda fucked up. Really should have made a separate account, then she'd have a case I could agree on (no matter the politics), but it's a really risky era to be talking politics on a platform directly related to your job. We see this happen the other direction a lot but it works both ways and companies are probably getting tired of it. |
Yeah I agree with that. I agree with your point that her political views should not have cost her her job, but as a friggin' PR manager she really should have known better. [than to use her Nintendo Twitter account for personal political views etc]

ProTip: Do not read anything from Polygon regarding GamerGate. They. Are. Horribly biased and personally hate supporters. I wouldn't trust poly with any article on GG, feminism, or core gaming reviews. They shit the bed years ago when Bem Kuchera flat out said they are a biased left wing game site.

nice @ the eShop sale... may have to finally grab MK8

Good to hear about ff7. No problem with the episodic content if it's going to be that big. Wanted to explore that world so much more when I first played it.
Now I only have to decide whether to play each episode as it comes out or wait to marathon the whole thing. |
If it is as advertised, playing episodic wouldn't be terrible in this instance. That is IF - they actually realize how much "content" they will need. Hopefully they do. They know how big of a deal this "re-make" is to the gaming world.

I was leaning more of is it a 40 hour main story playthrough, or is that only if you go off doing side stuff?
Either way, it is going to be amazing and I am highly anticipating this. It was/is my favorite FF game. |
