... at least it's arrived in Australia and by the looks of the Youtube compilations, it's arrived elsewhere in "Europe" yet how come the announcements been missed - was it released on Thursday amongst the other releases, or a bit later, or did I just not see it's announcement squeezed in between the lines of game and demo releases?

You can't miss the download link in the Aussie eShop - it's the first big button you'll see next to Tank^3

92Mb download - won't break the bandwidth or the storage space on your Wii U

Yah it's good fun. I spent hours today wandering around Akihabara and getting nostalgic. I was even able to wander into my favourite maid cafe!

I thinks it's pretty cool. I went under water and saw animals. It's also pretty cool that you can be in the middle of the street when it's summer and everything looks all lively compared to now. Who the heck takes these pictures anyway?

Thought it was funny when I checked out my folks crib there was my old man doing what he does everyday with no hesitation... Mowing the lawn November 2009.

Iwata-san himself.

All behold Master Iwata-san!
We are his unworthy fur-bags!

Ya, but I doubt Iwata went through every street in the world(like in front of my house). He probably went in some exclusive areas for the Wii U, and to get the idea of what it can do for the console. Google just sends people everywhere with the camera globe and they all have a route to do I guess.

I'm going to down,pad this tonight.

Of course Iwata went through every street in the world. He has plenty of free time since he doesn't do anything important. I mean it's not like he's the president of a multinational video game company or anything.

Iwata didn't take a single shot for Google Street View.

I can't believe anyone would seriously consider he did.

Exclusive areas? What are you talking about?

Why did he wear the camera then? I'm guessing someone from Nintendo took that cart ride.

I just figured Iwata went to some exclusive places when he was wearing the camera.

Publicity stunt.

How can you not know this?

Proof of exclusive areas, please.

Is it wierd that this is one of my main reasons for wanting a Wii U?

I loved using Google street view during my down time at school (if I got done with my assignment early), but haven't been able to use it ever since graduating.

Our computer is too old & slow to do anything on, and the browsers on my iPod Touch (2nd gen), 3DS, 360, Wii, & PS3 aren't compatible.

Yeah.

After I downloaded this I thoroughly enjoyed it. For five minutes.

Is there a way to have the images scroll automatically, as if you're driving through the area? Like in the E3 demo.

Oh man this is significantly awesome! Me and my mom just spent like an hour exploring San Louis Potosi, Mexico! This is sooo cool! Sucks I can only explore certain streets there though. I love this!
