• Fulish Fuji @fulish_fuji: With the end of the year fast approaching, what has been your favourite Nintendo game that you have played this year? For me it has to be playing Mario Kart with the community every week. The chaos that ensues during those sessions have been so much fun especially in battle mode!

• JKJ @JustKiddingJKJ: Ok, so out of all the Black Friday eshop purchases, how many have you actually played? Rolling on the floor laughingSmiling face with smiling eyes
