I highly reccomend Shadow Wars, especially if you liked Fire Emblem. Its not as good, but it was definitley the best 3DS launch game. There's not as many characters, and a single death results in game over, but its probably the most underappreciated game on the 3DS.

If this is true, I'm getting a Wii U on June 25th with this game. Can't wait! I don't see many ways ut can make use of the gamepad, but its Deadpool, so its automatically awesome

Well that was short... Oh well, saving all the good stuff for E3!

Nabbit, super ultra easy mode.

Was going to respond to Damo, but rjejr has just summed up my opinion completely.

What a pointless comparison. The total amount of iPhones sold versus the number of 3DSs sold is more than 50:1. Of course more money is going to be spend on phone games overall with those ratios. And even just now this website reported that 3DS first party software sales were up by over 50%. All this means is that the mobile games industry is growing. There is little to no effect on dedicated handhelds by smartphones.

@LzQuacker Its not affecting me that much or at all, but to the small portion of the 583,085 chuggaaconroy subscribers which are fanboys, this is going to make them think twice about buying a Nintendo game. Is it childish and stupid? Yes, but it is still a possibility.

I just don't see any reason why they are doing this. From the stuff I mentioned in my last post, which makes it seems like they are supporting LPs and basically never claiming on any fan video ever to my knowledge, to making it so Lpers can't make money, it seems they are just doing a big 180.

@LzQuacker That's where I don't understand the whole reason why Nintendo is even doing this. Nintendo and YouTube simply haven't cared about LPs for years now. I even saw Nintendo make a Tweet promoting TheRunawayGuys a few months ago, and Nintendo UK even made an official LP channel for Xenoblade when it first came out here. If videos have no negative affects Nintendo, why have they decided to claim on the videos now? All Nintendo is doing is pissing people off and creating bad stigma.

@LzQuacker
If it was against the ToS, why did they even allow it in the first place?

Agreed with everything devilwaffle said. This is just going to looe sales. Even if it is a small amount, it is still sales lost.

To anyone who thinks what Nintendo is doing with this is a good thing

Did Nintendo have every right to do this? Definitely. Should Nintendo have done this? Definitely not. While the majority of people only do LPs for fun and just gain a bit of money off the side from them, for many of the high profile LPers such as Chuggaaconroy and NintendoCapriSun their dedication to their hobby has earned them the ability to gain a significant amount of money so they can live off it. It may not have been the smartest move from a financial standpoint for them, but Nintendo is essentially making them redundant, simply because of their dedication to them. People care about LPers, and if you take away his ability to make money, people are going to lose trust in you.

Plus, LPs are essentially advertisements for the games, or series, they are playing. 3,575,190 people watched the first episode of Chugga's Mario Galaxy LP, and a portion of the sales of the game were influenced by that video. Nintendo spent no money in the development of that video, and in the end they gained money from it. LPs are free advertising, simple as that. Removing the ability off making money from Nintendo videos for high profile LPers will make them not play their games, and remove free advertisement fro them.

@LzQuacker
Go and watch Chuggaaconroy's Pokemon Crystal Lets Play. It is so in depth and polished it could of very well have been an official walkthrough. Many of the more successful LPers put hours of editing into a single video.

Actually, is this competition worldwide? If not where?
To be honest, $100 would be too much for me for any amount of time. Maybe I would consider it at $50, but definitely not $100.

Anything pirate is fine by me, especially Jill...

Damo! NOOO!

This looks cool, lets check the link... $100? No thank you.

Wasn't it the Sun which reported that the 3DS makes kids blind when playing games in 3D? Yeah, they have no credibility... I don't care what they say, they're just making a u-turn on their opinions to satisfy popular opinion. Even if the 3DS is the best console ever, they're just saying it to sell copys. I hate UK tabloids...

I see no reason to not release DSiWare. There are still millions of DSis out there, and almost all DSiWare is on the eShop anyway. Is a slightly smaller screen really such a problem that you wouldn't buy the game?

Pre-ordered straight after watching this.

Good, equal rights for all

Hopefully they'll be a late surge of backers (which will include me)

"but looking at the success that companies like Square Enix have had reissuing its Final Fantasy titles on the iPhone"
No, I just stopped reading right there.

@Ambassador_Kong
How will there be a difference except from tacked-on 3D and a slightly wider screen? All releasing on DSi means is a (slightly) increased target audience.

if Lobo comes to the Wii U, this will be one of the games I get with the console. If no Lobo, no sale Warner.

Meh, probably Shadowgun. Maybe with tactile controls, all these games will be actually fun to play.

Much better. Retail may have been a nice idea, but this is is way more realistic, an will make them more money in the long run. I'm still hoping this comes to Europe

If a 13 year old is already a father and a murderer, then there is something seriously messed up with his entire upbringing, not just video games. He is a child, his parents/guardians are fully responsible for what games he plays, who he meets, what is in his possession, and if he needs any professional help. Video games, he shouldn't have been playing in the first place, are nothing to blame for this horrible incident.

My thoughts go to the family and and victim.

I'm interested in Color Commando, so I'll probably pick that up. The Starship Damrey also has my attention, but I'll wait on the review.

Also, any chance on a Crash City Mayhem review? I really like action racers like Burnout.

@Fusion14
You do know you could of used the d-pad on the Classic Controller?

I load my Wii U, go to the eShop, download Mario World.
Tenoutaaten!

Even though it is good for fans to be so involved with a company and for relations to be good, Capcom still needs to develop their own games. Mega Man is what put Capcom on the map, and they need to look after their own franchise without relying on hand-outs from fans. I'm interested in this, but I would be more interested in a fully official game.

@JohnG I once had a disc-drive problem with my Wii, sent it in, and when got it back, it just didn't work at all. Didn't even get the home screen, music or anything. You might want to consider phoning them, that's what I did when I got my Wii back broken. They can't really ignore direct contact. In the end I got both fixes for free, which was nice considering I was past my warranty.

Plus, the hold music is the Kokiri Forest theme

Cool, and I'm sure the 6 months extra is paying off to make the game better.

Call me an idiot, but I'm still not buying. I simply cannot support delaying a game for so long 2 weeks before release, even if it is amazing.

Eh, this just felt gimmicky when it was first announced anyway. I personally think Nintendo announced it as a testament to their creativity more than anything. I don't see a use for this that would be widely accepted in the gaming community. We already have sticks to wave around and screens to poke, I don't want something strapped to my finger thank you very much.

Remember parents, don't let your child do anything. It may be considered violent and will cause your kids to become serial Goomba killers.

Thoughts of that magical Game Grumps episode just went through my head... I'll have to check it out, even though I know next to nothing about Perfect Dark.

Hope this comes to Europe, looks interesting

I have a 4GB one which I upgraded from the 2GB my 3DS came with. I ran out of space once because I hoarded almost all of my demos, so I just deleted the ones I didn't want anymore. I have no intention to buy retail downloads, so there's no reason for me to upgrade anytime soon. (Unless I go for that "buy three games get 1 free" deal on Club Nintendo Europe going on)

Well, we have that fan-made Mother 4 coming out this summer, so that should bide us over, for now.

Why are they releasing the base version of Street Fighter II instead of one of the superior later versions (preferably Turbo)? Seems a bit pointless to be to be honest...

I don't think the Silver treadmill will be very popular. No matter how hard they try to sell him, its no use...

Lol, my friend loves that Mario Party 2 video, need to show him this

Better, but I still won't forgive. Ubisoft will not receive my money.

Still looks too similar, I say sue them.

@SkywardLink98 Exactly. Reducing the price of eShop games to be competitive with the retail versions can only make them more money. I see absolutely no reason why they can't do it. As a consumer, I am going to buy what I can find cheapest, not what is more profitable to the seller.

I'll be sure to back it when I get a bit more money in, since I just bought Fire Emblem.

I swear the second one along in the first picture has exactly the same d-pad as my the controller I use for my pc. Must have cannibalised it or something.
These all look weird, but I would like to try out a controller with a stick on the shoulder, I have no idea what that would feel like.
