If you haven't played Umbrella Chronicles, it's bloody good and you should. Track down a Wii Zapper shell for proper zombie lightgun shooting though :zoro:.

Somewhat related, Miitomo just got a big update that added direct messaging among other things, and it's now available in more countries as well. I only know about Scandinavia but apparently there's others as well.

Apparently Nintendo Badge Arcade is having an anniversary sale in the Americas, so all plays are 50% off for a week. Why don't you give the badge rabbit a visit? Everybody loves the badge rabbit. Besides, you don't have all the badges yet!

Is there somewhere to buy this 'dreamGear comfort grip' thing in stores in the US?

https://www.amazon.com/dreamGEAR-Comfort-Grip-your-Nintendo-3DS/dp/B00UJ9LB6Y?th=1

I want to play my 3DS but it is seriously the least ergonomic handheld I've ever used. My hands were all cramped and hurting by the time I launched and finished the Sun/Moon demo. But I don't want to wait for this to ship, not like it, and then need to ship it back to return it.

edit; this is not the thread I meant to post this in :( but I guess it's not entirely off topic.

EB Games Australia will be taking preorders for a December-release batch of NES Mini's at Noon on their website, if anyone wants to try their luck.

Even-odds the website falls over again from attempted orders, I reckon.

From what I read in a news article, Target and Big W got ugly with people trying to get ahold of one last Thursday. Their average allotments were something tiny like 20 NES Mini's.

And one standalone controller.

Apparently the release date for Dragon Ball Fusions got moved up to this Wednesday? I don't know what they were thinking changing the date to Pokemon Week, but it looks like I'll be getting some good use out of my birthday coupon.

Does that 30% off coupon for your birthday month count against anything? Because I'll use it on Pokemon Moon if I can.

Bleh I figured there was a catch. The notification I had about it in the 3DS eshop looked like it was a general-purpose thing.

Ouch. Incidentally, even the extension cables for the controllers are gone now from the EB Games website.

I grabbed two while the getting was good.

I think the best solution to the short cord, if your room layout allows it, is to get a long HDMI cable and run it over to a table next to where you're sitting, so you can set the system up there instead of by your TV.

Apparently the reset button on the mini Nes functions as the home button and there's no equivalent on the controller so buying a controller extension lead means sitting too far from the thing to access the game selection menu or use savestates.

If you use a Wii classic controller you can use the home button

So funny story with the @Play 2 Metre Controller Extension Cables;

Only one player can use them at any time :cripes:. They have that little clip for snagging cable on which makes them too tall, and it hangs over the Player 2 socket.

Nintendo's ability to make something people go nuts over and yet gently caress up basic design choices is always mystifying to me. At least they're consistent, I guess?

Ironically, this is one Nintendo product I won't be buying. I have pretty much all of the games I want on carts. The ones I don't have are ones I'm not super pressed to get in the first place.

One man's hosed up design choice is another's nostalgia. People wouldn't be going nuts over it if it was too much like a modern console.

It doesn't even seem like a decision rooted in sound business sense... Do they not want a huge avalanche of nostalgia bucks?

I guess! Fortunately I played all my favorite NES games nonstop as a kid, and beyond occasional stints of Mario 3, my backlog of modern games is waaay too huge for me to give this even a second thought. I hope the Switch is cool, though.

yeah the NES they put out is cute for nostalgia reasons but an SNES version would be legit flush with incredible games, provided that Capcom and Square once again play nice and they can finally unfuck their relationship with the FX chip people (for Star Fox/Yoshi's Island)
