The oldest players choice price I remember is the N64 players choice games which started at $39.99.

Nintendo Gaming / Re: What Team is everyone in Pokémon Go?

I am also Team Blue (Mystic) now.
Got my arse kicked a gym. Not fun. Learned after that apparently you can dodge attacks by swiping the screen or something? It'll be a long while before I get to test that out probably.
Just how do you level up your pocket monsters anyway?
With the essence you get when capturing pokemon and the individual candy for each one.  I highly suggest just leveling yourself up instead though.  As you get to a higher level, the pokemon you find will already be at a higher CP level.  It's better to wait to level them up until you can evolve them to their third form such as Charizard and Blastoise and so on. At least that's what I've heard.  You get more per power up at the higher form and they already start at a higher CP than the lower guys. Also, the higher your level, the higher their max CP can be.

I looked closer and based on the area breakdown, they only include digital downloads of disc based software on the Wii U and card based softward on the 3DS.  So I don't think they include digital sales on any of those other numbers.  Wii software is discs sold at retail and so on.

104
I'm pretty sure it includes pack in numbers.  I highly doubt it includes digital games, or at least ones that weren't announced directly by the makers of the games.  Nintendo rarely let anyone know how many VC games were being sold.  Maybe Wiiware is included but I also highly doubt that.  Only this month did US game tracking data start including digital sales on PSN & XBL.  They weren't tracking those numbers during the Wii/PS3/X360 years.


Actually, I take some of this back.  Since it's Nintendo putting this number out there, it could very well include digital sales.  I wonder what NPD would put as the attach rates on each system.

The lowering of the price of the 2DS did what they wanted it to do then.

It is simply not true that the folks that bought a Wii for WiiSports didn't "graduate" to more traditional or more complicated games. They absolutely did. They all bought NSMBWii for a start. And Guitar Hero was best selling on Wii over other consoles and that is one complicated-ass game. The attach rate for Wii was quite good as I recall.
But, yeah, smartphones.
Yep, most of Nintendo's known franchises had their best selling games on the Wii, including Mario Kart, 2D Mario, Smash Bros, etc.  There was a good attach rate for the Wii.  Maybe not at first, but once people started seeing other things they could do, they started buying other games.

Is this the first time that Super Mario Maker was off the top 20 chart?

I'm loving playing this game.  My family goes on trips to our downtown area because there's around 15 pokestops on the main road.  So we load up on pokeballs and items and catch pokemon on the way.  I've gone on long walks by myself to hatch eggs which is fun as well.  I do wish I was better at telling how far I need to throw the balls to get them in the small circle though.  I'd save a ton of wasted balls that way.

Yeah, I'm definitely NOT buying into the inevitable Pokemon Amiibo Trading Cards.

Unless... unless they help somehow in Pokemon Go...
Your avatar is perfect for this statement.

If they can make as powerful or slightly more powerful than the Vita and sell it between $150-200 and it comes with Pokemon GO built in, I think they can succeed.

I joined Team Blue as that was the team my wife joined.  I'm annoyed at how powerful the gym masters are.  I'm never going to be able to defend a gym by the looks of it.

I was wondering if the spike to Splatoon was a new bundle.  I'm guessing it includes the new amiibo figures.  How soon after the NX launch do we think a new Splatoon game will be released?

I'm also surprised there's been no Fami-Mini announcement.  This is the type of thing that Japan would love and importers would love more.

I'd like to buy this.  I would like to know if it accepts cartridges or not.  It'd be much more functional if it did but I'm guessing it's just using the emulation used on the Wii and they don't have an actual NES inside the thing.  I would love to be proven wrong on that though.  The system just looks smaller than an original cartridge.


I'll be getting one regardless.  I want my son to know about the history of video games and this is a good way to introduce the NES to him since the one we have is broken.

Just waiting on one pack of nine cards from fellow forumer Khush... and I'll be DONE. :D
Sure you'll be done.  Until the next ones come out.

Hey Soren, I was having those same problems (though I had gotten to 4 pokemon before they started happening.  What fixed it for me was deleting the app and redownloading it.  Everything was working find after that.

PS4 might hit 3 million sold in Japan on the next chart.  Almost under 200k difference between it and Wii U.

Even Minecraft on Wii U can get a decent start.  Will it have legs like the Vita version? Probably not.

If you play the second quest on Legend of Zelda, I highly suggest a map.  I had tried playing it blind, but found maybe 2 dungeons (including the first one which is the only one in the same place).  It's near impossible.  They made them extremely hard to find.

Good luck with your journey. Keep us updated on where you are at a given times.

Found the eye and found the hidden mission.  Now I just need the Z logo.

122
Anyone find the Sheikah Eye or hidden Z logo yet?  I've only found the slate.  Do we find them on different pages or just the main e3 site?

123
You call it on the cheap, yet the 1070 by itself is more expensive than the Xbox 1 S.  You'd still need the CPU, MB, RAM, HDD or SSD, case and operating system on top of the 1070 to be able to do anything at all.

I'm pretty sure the Nvidia Shield will not natively play games in 4k.

However, it would be good for Nintendo do at least think about being able to display games in 4k, even if they have the tech level of the One S in the system.  Being left behind even that is not a good idea at this point.

It isn't out yet physically till June 17th and NPD can only track physical sales.
Oh, duh. I even knew that.

Why aren't they listing Minecraft for Wii U?  Is it that insignificant that they couldn't even see numbers for it?
