Digital for me but only because I'm getting it for free having registered three games on the Nintendo website. Otherwise I would buy the cart.

Roll on Mario Golf 3DS. It's about time we add a decent golf game on the 3DS. All others have been mediocre at best and terrible at worst.

Looking forward to this a lot but I definitely won't be paying a subscription. Friends only for me. No doubt plenty of videos will appear on the internet for free.

@Placlu
It's already out in Europe. I tried it and hated it. Definitely not to my liking. I love strategy games like fire emblem and advance wars, and enjoy beat em upa, but didn't like PXZ at all.

Both zelda games for me. I never got the chance to play them previously.

@MrSRArter
It's called 'milking it'. They try sell it at full price on the eshop even though you can get for about a tenner second hand. The download versions would sell in much better numbers if the price was reduced a bit.

Looking forward to this. It looks like it's going to take up a lot of time.

Definitely getting both. It's a no brainer.

Mmmm, undecided on this one.

We had best stop our kids watching all tv then because they may spot something bad in a cartoon or even an advertisement.

Exciting games but too repetitive. I gave up on them after modern warfare 3. They will just keep bringing them out though. The yearly release formula has worked for FIFA and other games for ages. Why would they do any different with a FPS. Muppets keep on paying their money year after year to get the next rehashed game with slightly different content.

That's a shame. I was hoping that those exact problems would be ironed out in the final release. The fact that they have not means that I shall not be buying this game. I don't want to sit waiting 40 seconds to go into another area. I don't want things popping up out of nowhere.

It seems like loads of things are delayed now. That, or they are released and too hard to find in the shops due to poor distribution skills.

FANTASTIC !!!
Just registered my code for my £15 credit.
Huge thanks.
Now, what to spend it on..... mmmmm..... decisions, decisons.

Advance Wars on 3ds? Hell yeah! I'd rather have Advance Wars than Fire Emblem.
Fingers crossed that it happens.

@rizsparky - are you joking? This is well worth its asking price and then some. I've created some fantastic pictures that I didn't know I was capable of. Buy it now if you enjoy drawing or painting even a tiny bit.

I've got plenty to play at the moment. It's on my 'watch' list though. Maybe the price will have come down by the time I get it.

I've never played any cave story so may give it a go. Depends on the price though.

It looks good but my concern is the same as others have stated. What will the price be if there are at least six episodes. It could end up being a very expensive download. Maybe a lower price for episodes 2 and onwards.

It's a great game and well worth the original price. I'm guessing that not enough people bought it though. It's still annoying that it's on sale so quickly after being released. Ho hum, never mind.

I didn't like the demo so won't get this. I imagine that lots will like it though.

The 3ds version is great. I may however get a circle pad pro to help a little bit.

Fingers crossed

Hmm..... Maybe.... Maybe not. Think I'll wait and see what others think of it first. If nobody likes it I won't bother, whereas if it receives a bit of a fan club I'll consider it.

Hurry up and bring this to EU. PLEEEEEASE!

Nevermind the file sizes. The games on the EU eshop are £39.99 !!! You can get a copy of Starfox or LoZ:Ocarina for about £15 in the shops. Anyone paying nearly £40 for them must be mad.

Balloon Pop would be good but not at that price!

@lmac99 - You're missing part of my point. Serious gamers may jump in and pre-order. But once the initial excitement has died down will it continue to sell? It might. But Nintendo's Wii was successful because it appealed to everyone. Grandma's and mums were playng it. Are these same "older" new gamers going to rush out to upgrade? I doubt it. They'll be happy with what they've got.
And yes, the other two systems are older, but there is no sign of a next gen from them just yet, and the Wii U is not that much more advanced in what it can put out. It's too high a price tag for a lot of people and not that much of a big deal for the "older" or "casual" gamers.
I hope the Wii U is a success. I really do. But I don't think it will be as great a start as other systems have had in the past, (eg Xbox, PS, Wii, DS, SNES, Megadrive.)

I think he's right. Ninty messed up with the 3DS price and I reckon a similar thing could happen with the Wii U. I won't be paying £350 for one anyway. When the Wii came out it was something new and so people saw the band wagon and jumped on it. The 3DS and Wii U are just upgrades to existing things and so not as many people will jump on the wagon this time around. Family gamers are not as bothered about upgrading to the latest system as much as "serious" gamers. That, along with the fact that people don't have as much disposable income anymore, could mean that the Wii U won't sell as quickly until they lower the price.
I predict that within 9 months after launch the price will drop from £350 to around £250.
Why buy a Wii U for £350 when you can get an xbox360 for around £150 or a PS3 for around £170?

Seems a bit expensive to me. How many times can they re-issue the same game with small alterations before people get wise to it?...... Oh...... erm..... Pokemon, FIFA, PES, Madden, Call of Duty, Mario, the list goes on. I'm losing interest in these games where they expect a high price tag.
Small prices are fine. Full price is not.

At that price it's certainly worth a look. And who knows, it could be brilliant.

Cool. Looking forward to this already. MM is a great game.

Downloaded it and it's great. It's clear to read, easy to mark squares, and it's picross. What more do we need?...... erm..... 3D puzzles would be nice.

That just looks..... erm, what's the word I'm looking for?...... oh, that's it...... CRAP!
It looks rubbish. It sounds irritating. It's not got much going for it really.

Looks like there are 150 puzzles for £4.50. That should hopefully keep us going for a little while. Fingers still crossed for DLC and user created puzzle swapping.

Looks awesome. Shame the Wii U will probably be too expensive for me to consider buying straight away. I don't want to make the same mistake as I did with the 3DS, (great little machine but was overpriced).

Mmmm ? We'll see.

Will definately get this. I love picross. Hopefully it has DLC and / or creating and swapping between other users. Fingers crossed.

The surprise launch of the Holographic 3DS Lite U XL Micro dual dual screen with Portable Reality Integrated Colleague Keys (P.R.I.C.K.) which will replace friend codes and display holographic images of your friends.

New Super Mario Bros 2, Theatrhythm and Dragon Quest IX will be getting played this weekend.
Mainly DQ IX though.

I won't be downloading NSMB2. Not at £39.99.
I'll buy a copy from a shop and then get about £20 back when I've fiinished with it and trade it in.

£39.99..... I DON'T THINK SO!!!
That's far too expensive for a download. I'll be buying a hard copy. Once I've finished it and got bored of it I will trade it in and get maybe £20 back. I won't get that from a download.

Zen pinball is great. Just got to top of local leader board. Probably won't be there for long.

Oh dear.

It looks pretty good going on this video.

Lets hope i makes it to over here instead of just Japan.

checks calender
Nope, it's not April 1st.

That looks just plain stupid.

It may be able to cater for core gamers as well as the casual market. However, it will not be an immediate change. The core gamers are not all suddenly going to rush out and buy a Wii. Even if developers create the hardcore games for the Wii U that have been lacking on the Wii, it will still probably be at least a couple of years before a lot of core gamers take it seriously.

Who cares what it's called. It's still a big lump on the 3DS that won't fit in most current storage cases.
RE:R is looking pretty fantastic though.

That sounds OK to me. The "majority" of handheld users want games that can be played in short bursts. You can't really play a game like SM:Galaxy like that. The 3DS Mario games are to be sold across the whole spectrum of 3DS users types, so a big exploration game is not going to be as well accepted in social circles outside of the more serious gamers circles.
Hopefully that makes sense.
