I believe Mr. Naramura insists on answering interviews in English (Unless it's a Japanese interview to begin with), it's obviously not perfect, but it's completely understandable and he's clearly trying to improve it.

@Luigifan141: Hence why I said "every possible Wario Land game"

I would've preferred it to be based on this Olaf instead.

@C-Olimar I didn't have chance to test multiplayer, but it's pretty simple stuff, both players pick one of the three main blocks and try to match 10 shapes as quickly as possible.

RE5 was completely focused on co-op and was one of the worst games in the series because of it. So it was a good decision not to include it.

He's one to talk, he's taken five years to get one 2D platformer out.

@Lordlz Not true, if you bought a game before it was removed from sale you can still redownload it.

It's not, it just says that they can't release accurate sales data until the game has been released outside Japan.

@taffy: They announced that it would be in there, but in the end it was the original Apple II version instead, for some reason.

@Dazza: Actually, the one in the news post is the US one, this is the EU one.

@billy-beauts: Maybe I'm just too good, but I honestly don't consider anything past the first two or so levels challenging, unlike most games it actually gets easier the further you get.

Played and finished on Steam (With all achievements too), so I'd skip this, but it would be nice to see regardless.

@Henmii: If you are in the Netherlands like your flag indicates, I've seen them around already, check Primera stores if there's any where you live.

I'm a bit disappointed Advance Wars isn't on the list, but it's probably because Japan never got AW1 and 2 seperately, only on a combo cartridge, meaning there's no single version they can release globally.

@XyVoX: Create a level, save it, give it a playtest and complete it to ensure it's actually beatable, and then the option should appear.

Now it can be game of the year three years in a row!

I put Xenoblade on the #1 spot in my list, but only one other staffer also had it on their list so it didn't have enough overall to make it on. I am as disappointed as everybody else.

The Mega Drive version of Puyo Puyo 2 doesn't have online, but Japan also got the arcade version which does.

It costs the same price as a regular Mega Drive game in Japan (600 points) so I assume it'll have the standard price of 800 everywhere else.

I can tell the Kirby in the top-right is from North America.

@TheDarkness: Nope, works perfectly fine!

Yeah, the only thing "exclusive" about London Life for North America is that it's unlocked right away, in the Japanese version you had to beat the main game to get it. So don't worry, Europe will get it too.

@Koops3: Yup, same series!

Terranigma or Super Mario RPG for me.

It should be noted that the game worked fine when I popped it in the first time yesterday - It was only when I tried to play it again today that it started not recognizing the disc. It does eventually recognize it after putting it in a couple of times but it's still quite annoying.

I just got an email from Nintendo of Europe, Europe will get Twilight Princess and Mario Galaxy only.

I was expecting it to be in Germany, in which case I would've gone, but I'm not going to the UK for this.

@bboy2970: I'd be more worried about the fact the Wii Virtual Console hasn't had a new game in just about 2 months now.

Much like the GBA games I think they'll keep these to Nintendo games only, so:

• Kid Icarus
• Mach Rider
• Mario Bros.
• Metroid
• Wrecking Crew

@BulbasaurusRex: Just type an asterisk and put a space next to it to make a bullet.

I think this is probably very likely:

• Advance Wars
• Fire Emblem
• F-Zero: Maximum Velocity
• Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland
• Wario Land 4

I just got a reply from Mr. Samejima (One of the Nigoro guys) on Twitter saying that they have to get a "new standard regulation" for the game, basically, I think it means that the USK rating was for an old version and there is some new stuff in it now which they also have to rate.

We've notified Nigoro of the USK rating on Twitter, so they should be looking into it right now.

@zranoll: In fact, the entire game has been redesigned so as to be a lot less retro in terms of having to search around a ton, stuff is a lot more obvious now, you can get hints everywhere, you can record the writing on tablets to take it with you anywhere, etc.

On the official blog during development they specifically asked players what parts of the original game were too confusing or illogical so they could make them more understandable.

@mariofanatic: They've done it before, Another Code R and a bunch of other games were tested by NoA for Europe and never saw a US release.

Resident Evil 4 did have it's share of creepy moments like the sewers and the hedge maze, but those were few and far between. Resident Evil 5, I'm sure anybody else who's played it can agree that it doesn't have a single scary moment throughout the entire game

Also, we played this with headphones, which is clearly going to be the way to go for maximum immersion.

@Luffymcduck: Yes, all of those are still on track for Q4 2011!

It really doesn't matter to me - I'm buying the game new, and since it's almost completely highscore-based I doubt I'd ever want to wipe the data anyway. I think people are getting a bit too worked up over this.

@Bass_X0: Fun fact, guess who made those

@melechofsin: That wouldn't work for this one, it only got colour when played on a Super Game Boy, not a Game Boy Color.

@Omega: If you die, you simply appear back at the start of the island you're currently on. You can save, but there's no passwords.

@Omega: It's pretty brutal starting out, but honestly, once you get past the first one or two areas you'll be completely hooked, it's my personal favourite indie game ever. Since it doesn't give any help in regards to gameplay whatsoever (The WiiWare version will though) this might help as well.

@Link79: Nicalis didn't really have much to do with this one, they're the publishers, but Nigoro was almost entirely responsible for the development.

I don't think there's any delay at all - European Wii/DSi shop updates happen around midnight and count as being on the next day, so since it's being released in the evening for North America, it may just mean Europe will get it at the same time, which would be around midnight.

Well, just like the person he's based off of!

Bomberman just doesn't really work in 3D if you ask me - Stick to 2D gameplay!

I haven't actually played it myself, but I know there's a section in the game where you have to answer trivia questions correctly, which would obviously be complete guesswork without a language you know.

A Steam release could easily happen, but one sign that it may be for VC instead is that Steam has yet to receive a single import game, all MD games available (About 40) were released in the west.

@Banana_Jane: Although Faxanadu was actually released before Zelda II I think the comparison is completely valid, aside from the lack of an overhead overworld, the games are similar enough to be comparable. Plus, everybody knows what Zelda II is like, so that can be used to explain what this game is like more easily.
