Looks pretty good, will pick it up when it's released in Europe.

@HugoSmits Though it does sound like I'd enjoy this game! Might have to check out the PC version...

@HugoSmits OK, I see what you mean.
They could of course optimise the Wii U version of the game, but that would take extra development time - which is probably why it's on hold at the moment.

Does anyone expect to see him in Mario Kart U? If he's a main character in this it could happen.
I think he could be in future NSMB games; it would be cool to have an easier option for younger gamers...

I didn't get NSMBU but I may get the boxed version of NSLU... can't resist the green box! Plus, Nabbit will be a good character for my brother to play as...

Ha, I love Ben Quadinaros
Well, I didn't know his name 'til I just Googles it then. I used to just call him 'Potato-face'. But I still liked him!

@HugoSmits Is it really that good? I was interested at E3 time but I decided to wait for the Wii U version. Why won't it work on Wii U - Iwata did say they were embracing F2P!

I feel sorry for Ubisoft in general... they're obviously a terrible business who never make any money, since they've always been supportive of Nintendo platforms....

Mario was supposed to be in the first Sonic Kart, so presumably that's it.

OMG, Just Dance didn't make any money??? Poor Ubisoft.

@rjejr The multiplayer is up to 4 players, at least in some modes.

Well, I don't have NSMBU, and that is a rather fetching box...

@ThomasBW84 Can I just point out that Bit Trip is in fact £9.99/£7.50 on sale?
Even Nintendo's own website says it's £10.79 but since the game's launch it has cost £9.99.

In other news, people spent more on food last quarter than on Vita and 3DS combined!

EA must have a real bee in their bonnet.
I swear, Nintendo must have switched from Origin at the last minute for the Wii U's online.
They're clearly in a strop about something.

Pyramids is awesome, so if you want a 3DS version of this, it should suffice!

"The Delusions of Von Sottendorf" - that game looks awesome!

@Denkou Not just problems for Ninty Japan I think - if American media got wind of gay marriage in a Nintendo game they would have a field day trashing the company, even if the game wasn't going to be released in the West.

Anyway, how terribly open-minded of you Nintendo. -_-

Oh great. £30-£40 then? Plus I hate retail downloads.

So it's very, very likely to come to Wii U then!

Ignoring the outrageous hypocrisy, this is exactly the sort of press the 3DS needs, informing the consumers about its deep games which are better than the 69p variety in the App Store!

@DogNut327 8 is considered an extremely lucky number in China

Game sounds really cool! Definitely getting this... on Wii U!

Panda rules! Also Gogoat is pretty cool.
I think later on in the game you'll be able to buy glasses and hats to customise your character as well.

This actually looks good. The first was OK but too limited - this looks much improved!

Keep Calm

Happy Gaming! (^_^)
Fixed

@TBD deserves a medal! Overworked.

Seems weird to include it only for men; pretty much makes it seem unintentional to me.
However, since the feature is pretty popular, I think they may use the patch to include female gay marriage
@theblackdragon I don't think it was ever coming to the West, but strong sales in Japan may convince them. Plus, I think it's a game that would appeal to enough people to make a decent profit.

(Moragami made Goony, Flyhigh made Witch and Hero).

Circle website:
Keith (Tanukii studio), Peter (Moragami), Kou (Flyhigh works), Chris (CIRCLE), Etc.

@Sfzorzando Him, and @HugoSmits as well, presumably along with several others (if anyone wants to enlighten me).

This game has glitched on me twice, where time freezes but the game doesn't crash. Once was near the start, so I didn't care, but the other was halfway through my sixth year, so I was pretty pissed.

Anyway, I preferred Bookstore Dream, but I have high hopes for Cafe Dream (as well as the other 5-50 Dream games in the pipeline)!

"Does it look like something you'd be interested in backing?"
No.

@Cesco Have you tried Pyramids? It costs basically the same as Solomon's Key and is really fun!

Also, I was told on the forums by an Agetec employee that Pantom Thief Stina would be here before Bloody Vampire! I feel cheated; I want my mediocre games!

He's 13 and already a father. He was clearly already of the bad sort.

@Ren I wonder if US cartridges work on European NES'? Perhaps one day when I was older I would have bought the cartridge, but now I can get the VC version

I've not played World since I was a little kid so I don't have an opinion, but I remember at the time not liking it as much as the first SMB. I'll be picking it up soon though!

@KeeperBvK Yeah that's trues, though tbh on 3DS we have had rather more NES games than usual lately. Hopefully the rate of Wii U VC releases doesn't slow down.

@KeeperBvK It's the Famicon 30th Anniversary!

Solomon's Key is like Pyramids isn't it? I really liked that and since Enjoy Gaming have recently decided to descend to making crappy games again I'll probably pick it up!

Awesome week!

@HugoSmits I honestly do not know how the heck you guys manage to do this bloody job.
My company's gone bust twice now!
Advice to anyone getting this game: be VERY cautious. Do not expand too quickly.

@WaveBoy Isn't that an oxymoron? ;P

No, I get what you mean. They should have put more effort into releasing games that aren't already available on Wii VC.

Still, Earthbound's on the way!

@aaronsullivan Not even close to Game Dev Story I'm afraid...

@rjejr I really hope we get Fifa now :-/

Obviously at the end of the day a game is about your personal opinion; I think this has been said well enough by those above me.

The point I was getting at is the amount of glitches in this game. That is really just inexcusable.

Let me guess, it's not coming out because Fifa 13 didn't sell on Wii U. NEWSFLASH: it was because it a) Came out later that other verions and b) it was Fifa 12 in disguise!

@CanisWolfred I've played it, honest!
OK, I've only played it a little. But at least I bought it! I need to finish Skyward Sword before I finish Okami.

My company went bust in Y2 M4
I kept receiving hate mail no matter how hard I tried to develop my games well. It was horrible, I nearly cried. I now sympathise more with small eShop/DSiWare devs.

As is usual for Circle games, the English is atrocious:
"You success finish a milestone. Your company get more attentions now" Is just one small sample of the hilarious dialogue in this game. There are literally typos everywhere.

...It's coming to iOS isn't it?

The Wii U would be the perfect console for this game: precise touch screen controls with crisp, HD graphics.

@Five-seveN Can I fourth that?
Fourthed!
