[Let’s Talk] 3DS and Wii U online memories
Posted on 2 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, Let's Talk, Wii U | 0 comments
3DS and Wii U online play – and overall online functionality – will soon come to an end. Earlier this week, Nintendo gave fans a final date as April 8 for shutdown timing.
Many Nintendo fans are playing Switch these days, but that doesn’t mean we should forget about 3DS and Wii U. While 3DS was the more popular system, Wii U had its own userbase and plenty of online games.
With the shutdown date looming, what are some of your memories playing online with 3DS and Wii U? Miiverse was taken offline further back, but what’d you think about that service? Let us know in the comments.
[Let’s Talk] Who’s your Smash Bros. main?
Posted on 3 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk | 0 comments
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is making a slight comeback this weekend as new spirits are being added to the game. Let’s also not forget that Sora, the last DLC fighter for the game, gets an amiibo next month. Even more than five years later, there’s still an active fanbase as well.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate contains the series’ biggest roster yet. It also did what some may not have thought possible by bringing back every character from all past games – DLC included.
With such a big roster available, which fighter do you tend to go with in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate? Do you have more than one that’s in your rotation? Let us know in the comments.

[Let’s Talk] 2024 hopes and dreams for Nintendo
Posted on 4 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk | 0 comments
Only a few days remain in 2023, so it’s time to start thinking about 2024. What are your hopes and dreams for Nintendo next year?
When we enter March, Switch will be seven years old and starting its eighth year. Nintendo doesn’t seem to be abandoning the console anytime soon with a number of games already confirmed for 2024. We’re getting Another Code: Recollection in January, Mario vs. Donkey Kong in February, Princess Peach: Showtime in March, and Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door later on. Obviously there should be even more to come.
If you believe some of the rumors out there, we could also be getting a Switch successor in 2024. It’s a logical possibility given how old the current system is, but no announcements have been made so far.
With all of that in mind, let us know how you’re feeling about Nintendo as we head into 2024.
[Let’s Talk] Favorite E3 memories
Posted on 4 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk | 0 comments
With E3 officially coming to a permanent end this week, now’s a good time for reflection. The expo was home to some of the most memorable moments and that’s something we want to dive into.
For Nintendo, there were plenty of memorable moments over the years. It was where the company showed off new hardware like the 3DS and Wii U. It also gave us some massive announcements such as The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, which may never be topped in terms of reaction. Even outside of reveals, there were other memorable moments such as Reggie Fils-Aime’s first major appearance. When Nintendo moved to digital presentations in later years, we still got some special presentations like with Robot Chicken and The Jim Henson Company.
So what were your favorite E3 moments over the past couple of decades? Let us know in the comments.
[Let’s Talk] The Game Awards 2023 reactions
Posted on 4 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Let's Talk, Switch | 0 comments
The Game Awards 2023 happened this week, and we want to know what you thought about the show.
If you’re a Switch-only owner, you may have been disappointed by the announcements. There was some news for the platform here and there such as Tales of Kenzera: ZAU, but many of the titles were for other platforms. Some have a good chance at ending up on Switch eventually such as World of Goo 2, but we’ll have to wait and see. Also, Nintendo itself has been at The Game Awards in the past with both big and small announcements, but this was one of those years in which it chose not to bring anything.
As for the actual awards, Nintendo did get some wins in that department. However, for Game of the Year, that went to Baldur’s Gate 3 rather than Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom or Super Mario Bros. Wonder. You can catch up on all of the winners here.
How do you feel about The Game Awards this year? What did you think of the announcements and winners? Anything related to the event is fair game, so let us know in the comments.

The dust has settled on the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass DLC. 48 tracks were added to the game across six waves, increasing the scope of content even further. Some games were given a bit more love than others, but ultimately all of the past Mario Kart games were represented.
Since the Booster Course Pass has now wrapped up, we’d like to know what your favorite track was (or multiple tracks if you can’t decide on one). How’d you feel about the DLC overall? Let us know in the comments.

Another Indie World Showcase took place this week, marking what should be Nintendo’s final notable presentation of 2023. It contained the usual slew of indie titles for Switch with some new announcements, shadowdrops, and smaller updates.
The event opened up with Shantae: Risky Revolution, which we previously knew about, but was officially confirmed for Switch. We also finally got an update on Outer Wilds, which heads to the console next month. On Your Tail, Blade Chimera, Core Keeper, and Planet of Lana were some of the other notable titles. Backpack Hero, Howl, Enjoy the Diner, and Passpartout 2 all hit the eShop that day. The full recap can be found here.
