@DaveCook Thanks! Downloading now

I have a couple of the 3D classics and I'm happy with them, I'll more then likely pick this up to if I can find it on the eShop. I've struggled to find the other 3D classics I want and the search always comes back blank for me. Damn you Nintendo and your poor eShop layout

I don't really have a problem with the system being locked as I'm not really intrested in importing games but I does seem a bit pointless having a system locked in today's day and age, remember though folks this is Nintendo and we know they always do things differently.
I will say though that the PS3 being reagion free came in very handy when I wanted my copy of Stick of Truth to be uncensered.

Got mine ordered, bit miffed i wont have a boxed copy of the game but the Skullkid makes up for it, roll on launch day.

I'm all over that limited Majora console, just waiting for NOE to update their site and I'll get it ordered

The ball is rolling and the clock is ticking. Only 6hr till we know for sure.

New 3ds info is all I'm intrested in. After that I'll think about release dates for games

Well I've set aside £180 for the new xl I want so as long as it's not above this il be happy with the price

I honestly don't understand why people moan about games they are still yet to play, if you don't like the changes go and boot your N64 up and play the original.
I never finished the original MM so I'm looking forwards to playing this and welcome any changes they make if it makes the game a more enjoyable experience.

No email for me so far I wish they would just give us a release date so we can stop pondering over it

I didn't get a code but I'm not too fussed as I'm after an XL, one thing this does mean though is that the EU release of these consols can't be that far away now.

Majora's Mask and Gunman Clive 2 are all that intrest me on that list. I'm most excited for the New 3ds to be coming to Europe.

Tough choice, it's going to be between MK8 or smash on the 3DS for me though I have a massive backlog and constantly play games long after their release (even though I pick them up at launch) so with that in mind my 'GOTY' is actually Mario and Luigi Dream Team Bros.

Has to have been the worse days for deals today, many of the games have been cheaper in deals running up to Christmas. Looks like all my money will be going towards importing a new 3ds instead

I don't get why 7 hasn't got many votes as for me it's the best of the bunch and the one that got me back into the series, I still have many late night playing it online and I find the races that little more frantic and 'edge of seat' then I do on 8.

I'm all game for them releasing cards ect with the chips inside, being a 31 year old guy I find collecting toys a little bit 'childish' and something more aimed at my 3 year old daughter but on the flip side I still want to use the features they bring to my games

Bought this game a wile ago when it was on offer for £10 brand new (might have been £8.99 bit not going to be picky) can't say I'm a massive Street Fighter fan TBH but this is defiantly one of the better portable fighting games I have played.

the new 3ds will unlock amiibo compatibility

IMO charging anything for the game again after already purchasing it is out of order but we don't expect to get it on the PS3 for free when buying it on the Wii U. I feel confused

Ahh KI:Gold this is the only game if class myself as a master at, I know this game inside out and that's just as well after the 100s of pound coins I chucked into the original KI2 machine, this was a god send when it got released it's saved me a lot of money and boardum

This is more like the dlc you would expect for Mario Kart not that awful "free" one we're getting

I own flash carts for my n64, GBA and DS. I spend loads of money on my wii u, PS3 and 3DS so I don't feel a bit of guilt as I'm still doing my bit for the current industry.

There's a lot of pros and cons to this, obviously homebrew is a big plus and over the years I've had some awesome homebrew for some of my consoles (WiiMC was alone worth soft modding the Wii for) but as we all know things like this always end up being spoiled by the filthy pirates.

Ok I know gateway is on the market and you can already pirate 3ds games but when it comes to soft mods it let's you pirate for free and their for makes it a lot more inviting for those who want to pirate (remember these people won't shift £25 for a decent game then they prob won't want to chuck money at a flash cart).

Nintendo will patch this as soon as it's released anyways but what I think they need to do in a system update is block all online features to all 3ds consoles on older firmware so people are forced to update their consoles and to protect online from the skavvy people who want to cheat and pirate.

I remember the day I got my Mega Drive, one of the best Christmas Days I ever had, hours spent playing sonic, Mortal Kombat and Mega Games 2. Looking back now though I wish my parents had bought me a SNES

It was only a matter of time before this happened, tbh I don't think theirs anything to worry about, skylanders isn't a console seller in it's own right

No drought for me, I still have ZombiU and Tropical Freeze still sealed on my shelf. Ok my wii u isn't the only console I play but there's defiantly enough content to make the console worth it's £250 price tag.

Nothing here, when was the last time 3DS had a good week?

Makes me laugh how easy people drop the cash even when knowing how poor a game really is, feed the fire and don't complain when an influx of excrement hits the eShop.

Il stick to playing the old Gameboy games on my GBA-SP, I would like one to Mod a DMG but I know I'd never use it. Still cool mod though

I'm all for the updates and love the fact they changing the default options but I'm unhappy about them bundling the dlc with the update technically forcing the merc dlc onto us (I'm assuming to race online you will need the update). I'd rather have the choice to keep the tacky dlc karts out of my game

When I first started I thought I'd be in with a chance of winning then only ended up with 132 points, really enjoyed it and would play again, I voted Monday as it's game night but could make it any night of the week.

I have the means to play every Zelda they released so think it's about time I went back and played them all, I've not even played half of them and feel I've missed out.

I really can't believe how poor I was, real bad luck and ended up with just 132 points. I feel ashamed and I'm now going to hide in the corner.

I'm in. Let's race

Nintendo is doooomed !!!!!!

Sorry but someone had to say it

@ULTRA-64 Nothing illegal about eating mushrooms !?!?

I used to be a pirate for quite a wile when I was younger but now I don't beleve in waiting around downloading massive files, much easer to go buy the bluray or game for the sake of a few quid. Makes me laugh as I still know people that will buy knock off games or movies for a fiver a pop yet the real thing is only a couple of quid more. If they want to cut piracy treat it like shoplifting, if your caught downloading/stealing no matter how petty you get arrested and cautioned, get caught again then get charged and go to court and risk going to jail. The crimes are the same at the end of the day.

Edit to add: they should also treat people who buy pirated media the same as people who handle stolen good as again it's the same crime

As others have said this is just a step away from what we want, this is why if there's an eShop game I can also get of PSN il go for the latter, not only wis their the chance it comes with cross play but I also feel like my purchase is more secure should anything happen to my console.

A discount would be nice but cross play would be more welcomed.

Tempted at the original Mario and Zelda games but not in a rush to buy them as I already have other ways of playing them

I too got the email this afternoon. I have no intrest in downloading this so here's the code for some one who does.

I've been putting of buying a tablet because of my gamepad, there's times when I'm watching tv ect il grab the gamepad to check the internet but it's no way a replacement for a 'real' tablet, it only does the basic things a tablet can do and if Nintendo promote it as something it's not then they will have more unhappy customers. Has whoever wrote this article ever used the gamepad? If they had they would realise this article is pointless

Looks like it might be time to grab Steamworld Dig, not that il get round to playing it yet as have a massive backlog

Only really interested in Another World, il wait for a review first then try decide what console to pick it up on. I'm only about 50 points off from my free £5 eShop credit as part of the premium promo so may put that towards it.

Looking good, plenty of stuff coming out that interest me for my Wii U, ok the 3DS maybe lacking slightly but that doesn't bother me as I have quite a large backlog of games to get through on it.

@eaglebob345 I think your missing the point about what I mean by superior, it's nothing to do with the amount of games it's what the console alone is offering, correct me if I'm wrong but I can't even play mp3s of a USB stick on my wii u let alone a movie. Now everybody shush!! I can't be bothered going round in circles anymore. I bought a wii u, then I bought a ps3 and realised the wii u was as bad as people had told me. Lesson learnt. End off

Like I've said before I only bought my wii u for the first party game and yes I haven't played all of them but it's nice to shake things up a bit. For an age I've been defending Nintendo and their games but after picking up a PS3 two weeks ago I'm finding it the far more superior console, this shouldn't be happening with consoles with a 6/7 year age gap.
Now I have to turn round to my mates and say that they was right from the start and Nintendo really are losing their 'game' so to speak.
(Please note I'm not saying Nintendo are doomed)
