She’s very tolerant. I bought her a gaming laptop and The Sims so I can get away with it!

Glad I bought 3D All Stars physically and digitally. My Best Buy order isn’t shipping until October.
Nintendo used the iQue branding for the GBA, SP, DS, and 3DS consoles in China as well.
The Famicom Disk System has stations in Japan that would write games onto rewritable disks as well. They actually used the idea of flashing games onto a cartridge with the GB/Super Famicom: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_Power_(cartridge)
Yes-nearly bought one back in 2004 on eBay. Wish I would have. They are incredibly expensive now. Neat device; was supposed to support online multiplayer.

VooFoo And Ripstone Are Bringing The Acclaimed Pure Pool To Switch
1080p and 60fps!
www.nintendolife.com
This looks quite up my street. It looks lovely and I do enjoy a good pool/snooker game - I loved Archer MacLean’s games back in the 16 bit days.
Worth noting that on Steam the pool and snooker combo is £8.78 so if portability isn’t a big issue that might e an option for some.

Thing is it’s an absolutely cracking game. I wasn’t sure at first but it did rather sneak up on me. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Going back to Wii U is ROUGH, load times are ridiculous! Sure you get some music but I don't want to be sitting around for a few minutes listening to it while the menu's take their sweet ass time!

Seriously. This is legit the only Nintendo console I ever really regretted getting. Maybe we'll even see Xenoblade X on the Switch and then it's 100% donezo.

I don’t regret the Wii U. Playing Kart 8, 3D World, Wind Waker HD and others, in their prime, was magical. Nintendo going HD, and the sheer visual fireworks (art and tech) that resulted, was so much fun to experience, as well as really classic Nintendo gameplay all around.
I wouldn’t have waited five years or more, to play any of those, if I’d known what was coming up. Moreover, I feel like those games were more impressive in their day, than they are now.

Apparently the Wii U is a beast for running old Nintendo games - Wii and GameCube being playable native with a bit of hacking.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
The WiiU was the most fun I'd had with a system since Gen 6, even if it was short-lived. The games were fun. Getting one in late 2013 was the right move, and 2014 absolutely delivered.
Incidentally, a lot of my favorite Switch games are just WiiU games.

I would love a sequel to Nintendo Land. I had great experiences with the Wii U, but I sold it after it was clear they shifted all resources to the NX.

The only Wii U games that I really really wanted were Pikmin 3 and Tropical Freeze. When the Switch came out I came very close to trying to pick up a cheap Wii U instead. Luckily I made the right choice.

I don't regret my Wii U purchase, i had fun with it at the time and some games were even cheaper like Donkey Kong TF, Pikmin 3 Nintendo gave me it for free, XenobladeX, the Zelda remasters etc. I don't feel the need of purchasing most of the Wii U lineup again and its not like there are noticeable graphical differences in the ports.

It's absolutely phenomenal for that purpose. The gamepad being a bit cumbersome and having shit battery life is what keeps it from being the ultimate Nintendo console all things considered.
Oh, with some hacking as well, the 3DS is able to play DS and GBA games natively as well. Now that is the ultimate combo of BADASSERY.

I don't think it's just Canada, it seems to be the game in general. It's not available anywhere in the US either.Why always it takes forever for Preorders to be available in Canada?

I ended up grabbing All-Stars since it was available for $50 from Walmart locally. Unfortunately my fear about the camera in Sunshine was valid. It is basically unplayable for me having played the original. Both the camera and FLUDD controls are non-inverted, completely changing the muscle memory I'm used to. I played for about 10 minutes and literally every time I moved the camera and water spout I moved it the wrong way first, then the right way. I'll be shelving Sunshine until there's a patch. If they DON'T provide the option to change in a patch, well, I'll just wait for 4/1/2021 and sell it for a profit on eBay.
Oh, and even worse, they did the SAME THING on Mario 64. Camera control is reversed with no other options. Again, I kept moving it the wrong direction. Every time.
A real shame since otherwise it's a great collection. For me this release is an epic fail. I envy all the newbs out there that don't mind the control scheme.

So I'm playing Animal Crossing and thinking.
Why the hell can't we get a game that has the difficulty/complexity and map size of Don't Starve. Mixed with building and farming options of Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley.
Somewhere there's a perfect top-down crafting/building survival game begging to me made that combines elements of all those.

You only need to connect one console to do so, however, the Wii U is soo slow and GameCube and Wii is native resolution which just looks dated. I sold mine when I realized I don’t want to play the old games that way but rather wait for HD remasters. Therefor I’m happy with the Mario Collection and hope Galaxy 2 will drop as a DLC, or a single release once the Collection expires.

Oh dear. I can’t do picture scramble puzzles at all so I guess I won’t be finishing the game. I had enough trouble with them in the quiz show segment. What an obnoxious way to end.
Edit: got it done in the end much to my surprise. That final battle puzzle is really obnoxious but the game as a whole is absolutely magical. It’s another game that I’m really glad I bought.

I just put in my order for a Switch. I'm looking forward to it. 
Here are the main reasons I decided to go ahead and get one, even though I've never owned a Nintendo console before and I'm generally a one-console guy:
1. I had run out of things I wanted to play on my PS4.
2. PS4/5 + Switch seems like a good combination. I noticed a lot of people on GAF have that combo. In polls, it's like 25%.
3. I've been feeling a desire for lighthearted, fun sorts of games. Xbox and PS4 are populated with a lot of serious, violent games. I don't think a constant diet of that is good for me. I think it would be better if I played more games that were innocent and lighthearted.
4. I'm feeling somewhat dragged down by the negativity of the console wars, and Nintendo fans don't seem to get involved in console wars. They seem to just play and enjoy their games. That kind of impressed me.
Here are the games I've got on my list:
Zelda Breath of the Wild
Mario Kart 8
Super Mario Odyssey
Super Mario 3D All Stars
Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition (and XB 2, if I like that)
Deadly Premonition 2 (maybe)
Luigi’s Mansion 3
Paper Mario: The Origami King
I figured that was more than enough to justify a purchase.
Anyhow, I'm glad to be a Switch owner. I'll let you know what my experiences are like.

The bad news is: Nintendo fans are an incredibly hateful people.
The good news is: if you like fun games and want a return to when "fun" was the focus rather than "experiences", you bought the right thing.

I needed a break from Supah Mahrio Sunshine woo-hoo, so I tried out the original All-Stars, and...
Is there really a Mario game that I’ve never played, just sitting there for decades? Lol. I’ve played NES SMB, of course, but for some reason, I’ve never played this remake outside of briefly at a friend’s house, and completely forgot all about it.
It’s actually visually really cool. The music too. The character movement seems incredibly weird, though? I think I might need to blow through this in an afternoon, just to experience it, though.
Which led me to thinking about a neat question. Which versions of the games do you prefer, Nintendo Gaf? The originals, or the All-Stars/GBA versions?
