Don't Anger the Ox & Pokémon GO Snapshots!

Hey there, Force fans! We're just a few weeks away from wrapping up our next issue of NF Magazine, and as always we need some submissions from you all to give everyone here a chance to be featured!

Two things to contribute this time:

1. Would you like to be the one who tries to "Anger the Ox" this time around? Post your questions in the Comments box below, and David Oxford will pick one of them to respond to in the Inbox section this time.

2. Most of you have surely been playing the phenomenon smash hit Pokémon GO, and most of you have probably also seen funny snapshots like the one I've attached here as an example – capturing Pokémon out in the wild (or even indoors) in funny places or situations. We want you to submit your funniest Pokémon GO photos! Snap 'em and send them from your device to our Twitter account, @NintendoForce. We'll pick the funniest ones and have them appear in print in the next issue!

Thanks, everyone! Hope you all are doing well here as summer break comes to an end (well, here where I live, anyway). My oldest son, Carter, is off to kindergarten in just two days! He's growing up way too fast!

I'll check back in again soon! Until then . . .

Don't Anger the Ox & Pokémon GO Snapshots!

Hey Ox. Rumor has it that Nintendo is trying to clear stock of Wii U games. Still, isn't it strange? The competiting consoles don't even have a new entry, and now Nintendo is ditching Wii U owners! Doesn't that seem a wee unbalanced, especially since its lifespan wasn't all that long?

Hey there Mr. Ox! Recently Hyrule Warriors: Legends has been taking over my life. After I beat the Story mode I started on the Adventure maps. It took a long time, but I finally cleared the first map and was about to start on the second. Then the DLC came. I decided to jump in, only to get lost in the deluge of content. I have put almost 200 hours in and still barely have scratched the surface! It is too much! How will I ever get through it?!

Hey Ox, how often do you think about MegaMan Legends 3?

Hey Ox, remember when Nintendo said we would get the Corrin, Bayonetta, and Cloud amiibo in "Early 2016?"

Hey ox I've always wondered if you had to become a Pokemon which would be the one you would pick? Thanks so much for answering and I've been a fan of these q&a segments ever since I got the first issue!

Hey ox, with multiple fan projects being DMCA'd by Nintendo, as well as the removal of the archive of Nintendo Power issues, it feels like being a Nintendo fan is getting a bit rough. Is good fan relations slowly just becoming something Sega does that Nintendon't, or do you feel like Nintendo still has their fans in mind?

What do you think about the pikmin series? Do you really think adding a new captain each game is enough to change the formula enough or will it just become boring and no longer innovative. ex. 1 captain pikmin 1, 2 captains pikmin 2, 3 captains pikmin 3.

Ox, why is your column called "don't anger the Ox?" There's an angry Mii version of you above the column, but that's the only that has to do with angering you. Your column is basically the spot in the feedback page that involves the staff answering questions instead of the other way around. How does it make you feel that your column was ended up that way? Don't you ever feel the need to publish some angry rants? How could the NF staff treat you like this?!

Nintendo definitely has a history of making some odd decisions; Wii, then Wii U and Tingle's Rupeeland to name a few. However it seems the strangest decision is to not say anything at all. They have consistently allowed morsel after morsel of intel on the NX leak instead of doing it justice and either showing it at E3 or doing a Direct shortly after. Now they are consistently delaying games they know their fans want like Zelda and Pikmin. Do you think this strategy is akin to them shooting themselves in the foot?

Ox, it's been 5 months since Ryu's Amiibo has been released, but no word on the final Smash series ones (Cloud, Corrin, and Bayonetta), other than "In Development" back in December. Granted, we have been receiving other Amiibo, such as the Kirby series, more Splatoon ones, and announcements of future ones for Breath of the Wild and another Mario wave. Why do you think Nintendo is dragging its feet with completing the Smash series?

So ox, the mini NES has people super hyped for it, but you can't add on other games or swap them. Classics like castlevania 3, the little Sampson, and startropics 2 have been left out. What do you think of the system, and how it could've been improved?

Ox, is Pokemon GO all you expected from it? The trailers made it look so awesome, and some fans are feeling disappointed with how... basic the game is. What's your opinion on the game, is it the Pokemon experience you expected?
