Nihilism5342d ago (Edited 5342d ago )

ant and dec eh.....never heard of them, but good on you, you now slightly richer apparent celebrities

@resistance100

i'm aussie dude, aussie tv sucks, so if what they do is any good....we don't get it

our tv consists of crappy re-runs of shows like just shoot me, the nanny, seinfeld, the simpsons....wait that's all tv, nvm

resistance1005342d ago

You seriously have never heard of them?

leeger5342d ago

i haven't heard of them too

kevco335342d ago

Don't worry, you're not missing anything. They used to act on a kids TV progamme in the early '90s before releasing a very, very bad single, disappearing for about 5 years and then coming back as Saturday morning kids TV presenters. They now do Saturday evening shows like Reality Pop-Star Idol B*ll*cks. Like I say, you're not missing much...

Shadow Flare5342d ago

Kevco what the hell are you talking about? Ant and dec are probably the most successful tv presenters in the uk. Their saturday childrens show was the best and alot of adults watched it too cos it was really funny. They're saturday night tv show is brilliant, and they're just generally liked by everyone because they're so natural and funny. In fact you're the first person i've ever met who doesn't like them. And this isn't just my opinion, i'm basically repeating whats been said about them already on tv. Everything they've done, they've pretty much succeeded in

kevco335342d ago

Including rigging phone-in shows to line their back pockets? ;)

Shadow Flare5342d ago

Why do i care about that? You sound like they did something to you when you was younger. What is your problem with ant and dec? They're the best tv presenters on tv and are really funny. Go watch antiques roadshow and watchdog. I'd imagine their your kind of programmes

LJWooly5342d ago

Haha, Kevco, they are actually probably the single most popular duo in the entirety of Great Britain... and they're actually pretty likeable fellows (I tend to hate popular people but I can't hate those two). And if it wasn't for them we'd probably have bugger-all to watch on a Saturday night nowadays.
And I remember Byker Grove... and their single... lawlz. But pretty much 90% of music from the 90's was bad anyway I guess.

So yeah, any hate for Ant & Dec tends to be drowned out by the mass love for 'em.

Jamescagney5342d ago

Ant and Dec should return to their roots.

I thought 'Let's Get Ready to Rhumble' was an outstanding contribution to our musical culture. The lyrics were maybe the greatest of any song released in the last 50 years including such lines as -

'Watch us wreck the mic Watch us wreck the
mic Watch us reck the mic..............Psyche'

and..

'I'm Ant I'm Declan a Duo a Twosome So many
lyrics we're frightened to use 'em'

I think they were maybe the greatest poets of the last century.....

...not really, but this is a good move by Nintendo, I hate most tv presenters but Ant and Dec are alright. They are just very likable I suppose.

Nintendo could be sitting on a gold mine with a past favorite.

Because we all miss accidentally throwing our Wiimotes at the TV, so let's throw some Joy-Cons.

Neonridr842d ago

VR is the same way, wrist straps for a reason.

Neonridr842d ago

I loved the golf from Wii Sports Resort.

Cuzizkool841d ago

I was always confused by Nintendo’s decision to kill the franchise. “Super” stayed with Mario titles even after the Super Nintendo. They can still use the Wii name. Hell it’s been so long that releasing a new one, or even an HD remaster, will tap into that nostalgia market.

DazaMc841d ago

Super Mario launched on the NES not the Super NES.

septemberindecember840d ago

Super was never because of the Super Nintendo. Super Mario Bros launched on the NES. The Super is because it's an indirect sequel to Mario Bros.

They can just call it Nintendo Sports or something, but using the Wii name would be a bit confusing.

Bigman4k841d ago

Yeah i agree but i don't think Nintendo will be bringing wii sports to the Nintendo Switch samething goes for diddykong racing

How Was I Supposed to Know THAT? ~ Obtuse Things in Games - Volume Four

Phil writes, "Today is National Puzzle Day, and it's a day for celebration of all things that twist, melt, bust, or otherwise perplex your brain puzzle-wise. It seems like a fantastic day to bring back an old favorite article series that hasn't seen much action recently. It's "How Was I Supposed to Know THAT!?", where we take a look at those frustratingly obtuse parts of games, whether for progression purposes or just plain ol' devious puzzles that one would have to be an absolute genius of a specialized field to solve. These following five games each have a particularly perplexing part or puzzle in them that possess some kind of masterful amount of outside information or knowledge to get past or solve them."

Never been a fan of the kind of game design where you need a guide to be able to do it, some might say it's quirky but I think it's dumb.

That's why The Witness is so good, the puzzles are often confusing and very difficult but there's always a logical solution if you think about it enough.

DarkZane1554d ago

It's actually easier for FF IX now, contrary to what the article says. The speed increase makes the game plays at x3 the speed, but it doesn't actually make the timer go faster, so it makes getting there in 12 hours a lot easier.

gold_drake1553d ago

sure sure, but it was neeear impossible to actually get the EC2 in-time on the ps1. especially if you had the European version.

Tross1809d ago

If Nintendo rolled out VC two years ago like they should have, there would probably be DS and 3DS games on the Switch by now. But yeah, I think DS and 3DS are something they should do.

pietro12121809d ago

It would be nice to see both Bravely titles on the Switch.
