Posted on 8 years ago by Jake in News | 25 Comments
According to Eurogamer’s Tom Phillips, the Nintendo Switch will have a Virtual Console for GameCube games. Phillips notes multiple sources, and that he is working on detailing its first games, which should be up later today. As always with rumors, take it with a grain of salt. Hopefully it is true, though.
GameCube Virtual Console for Switch is indeed a thing, heard from at least 3 people. Working on report now on 1st games, thinking behind it.

Pokemon Sun/Moon: Rocky Helmet battle glitch being investigated
Posted on 8 years ago by Jake in News | 0 comments
Game Freak is currently investigating a minor glitch involving the Rocky Helmet item for Battle Spot battles. Rocky Helmet is a held item that makes an attacking Pokemon take a small amount of damage if they hit the holder. Normally with items or abilities like this, the Pokemon that made the attack will be counted as the winner if both faint and neither player has more Pokemon. However, if this happens with a Pokemon holding the Rocky Helmet, the holder will be declared the winner.

My Nintendo now features User ID and child accounts
Posted on 8 years ago by Jake in News | 5 Comments
The My Nintendo page update has featured a few changes. For starters, you can set a User ID, which is a unique name that will allow for easier logins to My Nintendo. Since these are unique, we recommend setting one up, just in case you don’t want your name taken. To get one, go to your Account Settings and choose edit, then go to the User ID option on the left side. Also, unlike Nintendo Network IDs, you can actually change your My Nintendo User ID at any time.
Second, child accounts are now available. These will allow children (between 13 and 17 years old) to use Nintendo Account services. Note: To activate these, you will need to make a small transaction ($0.50 in the US) to verify consent.

My Nintendo website updates with new look
Posted on 8 years ago by Jake in News | 9 Comments
The My Nintendo website has been given a new look. The changes are mostly aesthetic, featuring your Mii performing various activities (such as playing the 3DS or fishing) instead of merely pacing around. It also highlights more than just the My Nintendo rewards, such as having easy links to Pokemon and Miitomo’s websites. Unfortunately, the change does seem to have removed the Platinum coins that could be picked up each week by visiting the site.
