May get Kirby's Block Ball, as I love Arkanoid-style games, and just to support 3DS VC! I'd encourage everybody to do the same. After all, the more VC games are sold, presumably the more often NoA will release them!

This is a start, but still waiting for Super Mario Land 3 and Kid Icarus: Of Myths & Monsters that have been out elsewhere for MONTHS. I don't think SML 3 will be here until around August when the release of NSMB 2 is close, though. And I have no idea what to think of Kid Icarus. Hoping since they're things many are looking forward to that something will be said at E3 (plus hoping for TLoZ: A Link to the Past remake news).

To hear of all these VC announcements is nice. Except none of them are for North America. Guess that's pretty telling in itself that VC is about the lowest priority for NoA. At this point, I'd take a lesser title just for it being a sign of life.

@dizzy_boy
No, it's a political ploy by Republicans to brainwash video gamers into conservatism, through constantly having them move toward the right! That means when you reach your villainous opponent, he's facing LEFT! I didn't realize that politicians had stuck their grubby hands into video games. It's a right wing conspiracy, a CONSPIRACY I TELL YOU! DISCRIMINATION AGAINST LIBERALS! I want games where you're heading to the left, or I'm calling the ACLU!!! Seriously, I'm kidding, not trying to get anybody riled up. But it is an interesting conspiracy theory for Mel Gibson, no? (waits for Chrono_Cross)

By the way, I think I've figured out when we'll get Super Mario Land 3. Since it's taken so long to release SML 3 that New Super Mario Bros. 2 has been announced, it wouldn't surprise me if NoA holds off on SML 3 until around the time NSMB 2 is released. Which isn't terribly far off, if the August release date for NSMB 2 holds. That would be in line with NoA releasing Super Mario Land 2 about a month or month-and-a-half before Super Mario 3D Land's release last Autumn. Of course, I'll believe NoA following a logical pattern when I see it.

I just pray they're not holding Kid Icarus: OMM for the next Kid Icarus game.

For a change, I can't complain quite as loudly. SSFII does show signs of life for Wii VC (though I wouldn't be surprised if it's the LAST Wii VC game we see). I'm going to get it in a few short minutes, to support VC, and because I'm a Street Fighter II collector (God, I hope we see arcade-perfect SFII on Wii U VCA).

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't discouraged and ticked off by another week without 3DS VC, though. I'm so tired of some of NoA's practices. We're having a 3DS VC drought after a few months like we didn't have on Wii VC until like year 3. I guess they think all the people here want is -Ware shovelware (and yes, I know there are some great DSi/3DSWare games).

Worst of all to me, Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters STILL is not even ESRB rated, so it might come next month or next year (or not at all). They were bass ackwards with the KI games. They could've used 3D Classics and OMM to promote Uprising, as was done in Europe, Japan, and I imagine everywhere else. They couldn't do that, though. It would've made actual marketing sense. Nor is there even a demo to show those on the fence about Uprising what an amazing experience it is. It all adds up to disappointingly lukewarm sales for Uprising here in the States.

@grumblebuzzz
Funny to hear about Mugbook users complain, when some of them are probably completely mesmerized by insipid FB social games. Knowing this might inspire me to actually use FB again, to do some complaining of my own at Nintendo's FB page. Perhaps others will join me in telling them we want moar 3DS and Wii VC?

I don't want to close out with negativity, though. We do, at last, have another Wii VC game. And you know what? I'm going to go buy some Nintendo Points, then spend them like they're burning a hole in my TV, on SSFII! SHORYUKEN!!!

The day I have to use a piece of BLEEP, unresponsive touchscreen alone to attempt controlling Mario on an Apple product is probably the day I turn in my video gamer's membership card and hang up my control pad. That day will likely mean social game like FarmVILE and smartphone shovelware have taken over gaming, and I'll need to find a new hobby.

Watching paint dry would possibly be more entertaining than gaming at that point. I exaggerate, but not by much.

@LordOtaku
Nice one! Don't forget all the consoles Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr. are on.

I'm sorry to say the campaign could reach 1,000,000 and Capcom wouldn't change their mind. They're basically through with Mega Man PERIOD with Inafune gone, however many fans there are out there. Also, these video game companies do what they want regardless of fan input. The absence of Earthbound on VC is proof of that. NoA probably did always plan to release at least two Project Rainfall games later than everybody else as a way of covering release gaps, so I'm not sure if it can be credited for Xenoblade & The Last Story coming here.

I'll be one of your 10 million, on launch day, Ninty!

Kid Icarus: Uprising DLC, please! I'll do anything! Well, almost anything...

And while I sadly don't see the chance of it until Mario Kart 8, I'd join Operation Wartfall. Wart has been such a glaring omission from Mario Kart games, and Mario games in general for decades now

United Kingdom, why u no like Nintendo games? Is GAME's troubles somehow affecting sales; or is the economy bad there, so less game-buying? I've seen where there are several titles it didn't carry. Especially disappointed to see Kid Icarus: Uprising with no presence on the charts.

I couldn't grasp it at first, but I think I now understand some of the negativity surrounding this. When something beloved from your childhood (or a happy time in your past) makes a comeback, you hold high expectations for it that are impossible for it to meet. In the end, disappointment is almost a certainty. You could probably call it "Star Wars Prequel Syndrome." There was a long gap between Super Mario Bros. side-scrollers. New Super Mario Bros. came out some 15 years after Super Mario World (11 years after SMW "2": Yoshi's Island, if you'd rather count it). There was so much different about NSMB from people's memories of the last side-scrolling Mario game that I think a lot of negativity was connected to it. But, like they say, "you can't go home."

I was guilty of this too when it came to NSMB, as I wanted more of what came from past Marios. As soon as I heard that new (bop bop) theme song, it started to turn me off on it. In time I came to enjoy it on its own merits, though. I think the best thing you can do is come into it with an open mind and forget (to an extent) that it has "Super Mario Bros." anywhere in the title.

Truthfully, I am disappointed that they're continuing the SMB 3 theme after it was so prevalent in 3D Land. However, that's based on my own bias toward Super Mario World, and desire to see a Super Mario Bros. 2-themed Mario again (plus I know it could still happen with NSMB Mii). Nintendo rarely disappoints, and as important as a Super Mario Bros. title is for them financially, they won't here either!

I'm personally happy to see with this, and New Super Mario Bros. Mii, that this new generation isn't going to see Nintendo abandoning traditional Mario side-scrollers as they did in the N64 & GameCube era. Personally, as a huge fan of the originals and side-scrollers in general, that was a dark time for me as a gamer, with Nintendo almost entirely ignoring 2D and side-scrollers. Regardless of what fancy graphics a new system can create, I NEVER want to see an era like that again.

Now, there has been a lot of Mario lately, with Nintendo trying to build up momentum with 3DS. However, it has been almost 6 years since the DS NSMB, and 2 1/2 years since NSMB Wii.

Oh, since they're going with the Super Mario Bros. 3 theme again, I hope they bring back the frog suit, Hammer Bros. suit, and Kuribo's shoe. Wish they'd gone with the SMW cape, as I liked the look of it and tilting back while floating to lift up a little, but I have hopes for NSMB Mii. Also, this needs TONS more Yoshi than those little guest-starring levels he had in NSMB Wii!

@Krimbatize
Welcome to posting here at NL! I mostly lurked for several months, if not a year before I posted a thing. A Silent Bob/Kevin Smith fan is always welcome in my book! Jay & Silent Bob FTW!!!!!!

Anything announced for America? Sitting here with my pathetic little card collection wondering when there'll be a chance at more.

Still on Kid Icarus: Uprising, and for the foreseeable future. Trying to finish Palutena's Treasure Hunt, acquire missing powers (already got every weapon), and get some better weapons in the 300 range.

But, even Uprising is secondary to the MLP: FiM season finale Royal Wedding on Saturday! William & Kate, eat your hearts out!!!

I checked, and Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters isn't even ESRB rated yet, so who knows, maybe we'll see an Uprising sequel before we see it in NA. Super Mario Land 3 is rated, though, so hopefully we see it before 2013.

Tagline got me briefly excited for Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters. Then I saw it was just 3D Classics KI that I got for FREE almost a month ago. Happy for my Canadian friends who finally have access to it. Otherwise, another in a LONG line of Thursday morning disappointments.

I kind of think NSMB Mii (assuming that's its final name) will be themed like Super Mario World (or SMB 4 as it officially is in Japan). Remember how NSMB Wii (even though it was the second NEW SMB) was themed after SMB 3, with the Koopa Kids & airships? Well, this being the sequel, and the Super Mario 4 domain buy makes me wonder if it'll be heavily connected to World (fingers crossed!!!), even if only spiritually.

I'd love to go back to finding secret areas like you did in SMW. Also, MUCH, MUCH more Yoshi, a world map like SMW's, and PLEASE change the NSMB theme song (never was crazy about it... you know, with the "bop bop" in it?).

@Eureka
I don't see a chance of this missing a level editor/creator. With the popularity of LittleBigPlanet, and Nintendo now joining Sony in the world of HD, I'm sure Nintendo will take this opportunity for Mario to show Sackboy who the MAN is (Ric Flair: WOOOOOOOO)! Nintendo is really going to want this to shine side by side with comparable games like LBP.

Now it's confirmed that it's the NSMB Mii tech demo? AWWWW YEAH! This + announced 3DS Mario= Side scroller Heaven! To have this (hopefully) around launch time will make Wii U's launch like that of my two favorite Nintendo systems, NES & Super NES. It's gonna be SO AWESOME /)^3^(|

Yeah, take that Shiggy! Think you're "retiring?" You'll be making games for us FOREVER!!! Just when you think you're out, they'll pull you back in! Sinister laugh

I'd have no problem with (and actually prefer) the NSMBMii game they demoed last E3. Yeah, it wasn't incredibly impressive, but its purpose was merely a preliminary showing off of Mario in HD. I have no doubt the actual game would be light years beyond last year's demo in terms of graphics and gameplay, and be worthy of the title Super Mario Bros. 4 (if that is indeed what this is)! Whether 2D or 3D, you can bet Nintendo is going to want it to be a groundbreaking showcase of Wii U's power. So, those of you worried that a side scrolling Mario wouldn't be that great, I'd rest easy. I for one wouldn't be surprised to see it take some pages out of LittleBigPlanet's book in terms of creativity (and improve on it). Imagine ENDLESS GAMER-CREATED MARIO LEVELS!!! FLUTTERSHY SQUEE

@WaveBoy
It has been a very, VERY long time since we've seen Mouser, Fryguy, Triclyde, and especially WART! When are we gonna see these guys again? Birdo and Shy Guy are the only Super Mario Bros. 2 (or SMB USA in Japan) characters to get any love from Nintendo in the decades since! It'd be a nice surprise to see them again sometime, maybe in the upcoming Wii U or 3DS Marios. I'd like to have seen Wart as a driver in Mario Kart 7. Oh well, maybe Mario Kart 8 (or playable in Super Smash Bros. 4)!

I hope it's out at launch (preferably with the Wii U). A Nintendo console launch just doesn't feel right to me without Mario. It didn't hurt the Wii being Mario-less at launch, but I wonder if the GameCube might've been more successful had it launched with Super Mario Sunshine (nothing against Luigi and his mansion ). Fingers crossed for this and/or the next 3DS Mario being a traditional side scroller!

@Tech101
You're right, a demo is the one thing that Nintendo hasn't done yet, which it should. I think the entire first chapter is long enough to give people a taste of its greatness and make them want more! The only thing wrong with it is that the great, hilarious dialogue doesn't really start until a little later (then again, there is the Twinbellows dialogue about Nintendog, LOL). What Nintendo should also do to promote the game (and make some money) is offer the AR Cards like baseball cards, and even offer them at grocery store check out aisles! In North America, releasing KI: Of Myths and Monsters couldn't hurt keep the Kid Icarus name on people's minds. I guess the only other thing is word of mouth. I do hope it has legs, though (and I'm not talking about Mimicutie, LOL). To me, it truly is a landmark, great achievement in gaming, from top to bottom. You can tell people put their hearts into it, from the people behind the scenes to the voice actors (who really sound like they were enjoying themselves ). They deserve for it to be a multi-million seller, and I've grown so attached to the characters that I don't want this to be the last I see of them!

I've seen a lot far less-worthy games succeed, for example the now-commonplace first-person shooter, and fitness games. Maybe it would've sold 2 million by now if the cover showed Pit on the cover holding an assault rifle, or Lady Palutena doing pilates (shrugs shoulders). Great quality isn't always an indicator of success. My favorite (and most painful) recent example is "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World". An incredibly imaginative, beautiful movie with great performances. But, it was up against "The Expendables" at the box office (what I consider a pretty average shoot-em-up with lots of big stars), and it bombed. It's become a cult hit, but it deserved better and I doubt a sequel will ever be made. I don't want to see a repeat of that with Uprising.

@cyrus_zuo
I found that in a short time, 2-3 days, you get used to it WITHOUT the stand (as a matter of fact I find it takes away precision). Kind of having your left hand fingers spread out, and the pinky finger bracing the front a little helps. I have relatively small hands and was able to adjust to it. What took the most getting used to for me was using the stylus to turn around in land battles, but you also get a feel for how fast you can turn, and it's adjustable. Actually, I don't think you'd have near the precision for firing with any other control scheme excluding the stylus. Sora knew what they were doing, but also knew people might need an adjustment period, hence the stand.

Finally, especially as word spreads that this is one of the best games available for any system right now, I think Uprising will be the perfect standard bearer for Nintendo in the months to come and beyond! I'm afraid Nintendo is going to struggle, but so is everybody else. What I understand from other articles is that game sales are down 25% from this time last year. Just about everything and everybody (except the rich) are struggling right now. I guess Patcher will use today's figures to try to tell the world traditional gaming is doomed, that you all may as well be getting used to playing Angry Birds on your iPad, or Farmvile on Mugbook (even after HUNDREDS of ignored requests, a FB friend won't stop sending FV requests).

I know the sales figures around the world have been a mixed for Kid Icarus: Uprising. That said, do those of you who follow the business-end of gaming think it's doing well enough overall that Nintendo might see fit to continue the series? Usually, I pay no attention to these numbers, but I'm pulling for KI: U to be considered a smash hit, and ensure we don't wait another 20 years for a sequel!

I don't care what form it takes. Remake, sequel... if it's linked to A Link to the Past, it floats my boat. With all due respect, Miyamoto-san (and I have infinite respect for you), please stop talking about this and DO IT! Those other projects? That's what they make back-burners for.

But, I've heard nothing about it toasting my bread. I am disappoint!

@Nin-freak
I have a Sony TV, and using the Nintendo Wii U controller on it would be a great joy, just for the irony of it!

I'd love to play Super Street Fighter II with some of my NL friends here across the pond. That is if it ever makes it to my side of the pond!

A couple of other things. First, I hope we see an arcade-perfect Street Fighter II compilation someday (other versions, on Xbox 360 for example, are not... there are differences). Second, did anybody take notice of a mention of Street Fighter II on "CSI: NY" last Friday? It was an episode centering around a video game competition.

I think it could work on Wii U too (hey, that rhymed!!!). And you know what? I think it could work on Wii U even if it couldn't work on Wii U (translation: I don't care if it'd work or not, I want moar F-Zero anyway ). With all the years that have passed, I've got the appetite for a gluttonous mouthful of FALCON PAWWWNNNNCCHHH. Or... maybe not, just give me the game.

For Nintendo to already be scaling back on 3DS VC (especially in North America, apparently the reigning red-headed stepchild of Nintendo Co. Ltd.) makes me fear for there being a Virtual Console at all on Wii U. While a lot of VC games have been released, there are so many classics yet to be released for all consoles/handhelds, and it'll be a system that (presumably) could handle emulation of games for the likes of GameCube, Saturn, and Dreamcast!

At any rate, Nintendo of America makes it appear clearer and clearer every week that the retro gamer like me and others here are quite insignificant. I'm just shell-shocked by the disparity between NoE and NoA's recent updates. I'd love to see more of what I want and actually have something positive to say on these updates.

Oh, I thought about it further. If this Nintendo Download had a face, I'd FALCON PAWWWNNNNCCCHHHH it!

(in tribute to the F-Zero Wii U story )

@Lordlz
No hypocrisy here. I'm a retro gamer. For the most part, I prefer the games of the past (and missed out on many). So, yes, I generally don't care for new games, and want old games. Sue me. I know a Kid Icarus: Of Myths & Monsters, or Super Mario Land 3 is most likely going to top, by far, whatever new new game is released for 3DS/Wii/DSiWare.

That's... all? If this download week had a face, I'd punch it.

Is this a bad sign for Wii U, when an A+ title will be released for a prior generation's console, but not your next-gen console that is supposedly more powerful? Is this an unspoken indicator by Capcom that Wii U isn't very powerful, or does it simply have to do with RE6's release date being before Wii U?

@Sony_70
Yup, that picture pretty well sums up Capcom's STEEP fall from grace in my eyes. I've lost respect for them I'd built up over decades. It's sad. My three favorite third parties, Capcom, Konami, and Square Enix are presently shadows of their former selves (at least in my opinion). This is pretty much a new day in video games, and it makes me want to go back to bed.

Oh man, are we going to go back to the old days, like when the Final Fantasy games were numbered differently here (US) and in Japan? So, is Super Mario World OFFICIALLY Super Mario Bros. 4 in Japan, but not here? I'd love it if this is some indicator of it being somehow connected with Super Mario World. I want more Dinosaur Land and Yoshi! Whether it is connected, or it is an official SMB 4 for regions outside Japan, it's a good thing(I hope this is for side-scroller Mario, though... I want another good old traditional 2D Mario like I grew up with ).

I thought numbering in most game series had become out dated anyway.

EDIT: I was just thinking, the timing of read this is interesting for me. Aside from Kid Icarus: Uprising, lately I've been playing a new file on Super Mario World. My way of celebrating my 20th anniversary of getting the SNES!

To complainers about the complainers: We're human beings. It's our God-given right to complain to the high Heavens about anything and everything, while being completely oblivious to the good things happening to us! It's a multi-national pastime, along with such things as watching other humans maimed for sport, reality TV, celebrity relationships, and blocking everyone in the breakfast aisle while sharing the latest work gossip over the cell phone. Then, you guys are also complaining in complaining about us, so there you have it. So... RAWR AGAINST NINTENDO FOR NO VC GAMES! RAWRRRRRR!!!

Some of my problems with NoA are: An apparent lack of thought process, poor timing, and no consistency.

For example, NoA could've further promoted Kid Icarus: Uprising and tided over KI fans in the weeks leading up to its release as Europe did, by releasing 3D Classics KI along with Of Myths and Monsters. They didn't do that. 3D Classics isn't even officially released, it's offered through GameStop. Things like that indicate a complete lack of marketing prowess, or simple brain cell usage.

Maybe they're holding OMM until they think most people will be totally finished with Uprising. Meaning we may not see it until 2013!!!

A wishy-washy, corporate non-answer like this is likely to add credibility to these rumors of Wiii U not even being up to par with the years-old PS3 & 360! Not sure I agree with their approach here, as it could inspire less confidence than ever, especially in critics and those "on the fence."

Since NoA is in full VC Nazi mode...

(Me goes through the line, quiet as a mouse. Reaching Reggie, I timidly ask...)
Me: Hi, how are you? Nice weather today huh? Can I have Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters, or Super Mario Land 3: Wario Land please?
Reggie: Oh, you want a choice of games, huh? NO VEE CEE FOR YOU!!! COME BACK, (holds up index finger) ONE WEEK!
Me: (pouting) Ok.

More like Game of the Decade so far! Game of the Year so far at least.

This kind of thing highlights why I'm becoming less and less fond of digital downloads, and prefer physical media. I don't like the idea of something going wrong with my system, resulting in loss of games, then when I go to redownload, the game has either been de-listed or it's unavailable for whatever reason. A Sonic cartridge would never disappear into thin air. That does not, however, preclude me from being a dumb dumb and losing it.

Have to wonder what's going to disappear next.

@TwilightV
My apologies if it upset you, but it is related, and I'm not spamming. I only ever mention MLP outside our thread if it's relevant. MLP is a property of Hasbro that it frustrates me they're ignoring game-wise.

Often at other threads, if such and such game is announced, somebody will wonder why they haven't made such and such yet. For example, if a Mario Kart game is announced in a story like this, someone like me might gripe about why they keep bringing out new MK games, and yet there's been no F-Zero in years and years. Or why Mario gets all the attention, and not (fill in ignored franchise here).

This is not spamming, just run-of-the-mill griping at Hasbro, LOL.

I'm disappointed with the lack of Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters here with only about 2 weeks until Uprising. However, I can't be too upset when North America's just had about the best VC week it's had in God knows when! This is a happy day for me, as a retro gamer! I hope this is a sign of a strong VC resurgence here (especially when so many games will be de-listed at month's end).

I guess next week will be the last shot at getting 3D Classics Kid Icarus & KI: OMM before Uprising's arrival. It'd be wierd to get Uprising with the 3D Classics free download bonus and it not be out on eShop yet!

Oops, I see you beat me to it, @MasterGraveheart! (brohoof) Hasbro, y u no have Activision make ponies game? I want to give you my money, dammit!

Forget Transformers! As Hasbro properties go, I want to know where our My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic official game is! The millions (hesitation) and millions of Bronies and Pegasisters demand it!!! (runs away before chased by angry, torch-wielding villagers)

If someone has to say they ultimately bought a system for one particular game, then I'd have to say Kid Icarus: Uprising was the game I got the 3DS for, above Mario Kart 7, Super Mario 3D Land, and Ocarina of Time. And that was simply because I've waited so long to see another Kid Icarus game. To furthermore know it's that superb... I didn't think I could possibly want this any worse, but I do now! Looks like the decades-long wait for Pit's return will have been well worth it!

Ordered! Now I'll have 4 for the game, including one I got out of the last Game Informer magazine! Thank you for the notice here, or I would've missed out!

Mixed bag. Glad to see another Wii VC release, but what about Kid Icarus: Of Myths & Monsters or Super Mario Land 3? You know they won't be released next week with all the Game Gear games coming. You'd think they'd want KI OMM in particular out a couple of weeks before Uprising as a way of promoting it in a way (like Europe, which got it today). Now, the next chance will be March 22nd, the day before Uprising's release. Oh well. Big N of A is going to do what they're going to do, I at least know it and SML3 are coming.

I'm pleasantly shocked to see ANY VC activity from Konami, as I don't believe they've released anything on VC or any other Nintendo download platform, since Castlevania: Rondo of Blood! Metal Gear Solid 3D is one of the few games Konami's released on a Nintendo system lately PERIOD! So, I'm thrilled to see this not only because it's a Castlevania release, but also because Konami is showing some signs of life (they've been a non-factor to me for years now).

Also, seeing any new Castlevania release (even if it's an old one) is a relief, as Castlevania has been in decline for a while now, with no brand new installments announced (I feel like they don't know where to go with it after "rebooting" with Lords of Shadow). Now this gives me hope for Castlevania: Bloodlines and Contra Hard Corps (how about long-missing original NES Contra too...).

I'll have to get Sonic the Hedgehog: Triple Trouble at least, so I can at long last play a Game Gear game (I FULLY supported Nintendo in the 8 bit, 16 bit, and handheld wars, so never put my hands on a Game Gear) and see what all the fuss was about back when (aside from being a battery killer).

Is Dragon Crystal an RPG along the lines of Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest? I'm tempted, but want to find out more first.

That reminds me, unrelated to Game Gear, I hope we see Game Boy Final Fantasy Adventure & Legend games one day.

Congratulations, Europeans! This is one of the most impressive Nintendo Download weeks I can ever remember seeing, and you are so overdue for the superb Mega Man X! And I imagine Kid Icarus OMM is amazing too (hope to find out one of these weeks). Being in the US, I am envious of this in comparison to the typical bare bones week North America will likely have.

After seeing Europe's Nintendo Download JUGGERNAUT for this coming week, I'm not even a teensy weensy bit impressed. Underwhelmed would be an understatement. Where's Kid Icarus: Of Myths and Monsters, Super Mario Land 3, and more Wii VC? Since NoA seems incapable of releasing more than one VC game in a given week, I suppose the aforementioned Game Boy games won't stand a chance at release until March 22nd. I am interested in finally playing a Game Gear game, but was really waiting for KI-OMM and SML3.

Hmmmm. I WAS thinking getting Punch-Out with save state would at long last allow me to defeat Mike Tyson, but it isn't Tyson I'd be beating, DAMMIT! Beating a palate swap isn't the same thing as beating Ear-biting, Child-eating, The Hangover-starring effing Iron Mike Tyson!

Did I just read that, or dream it? Congrats, my European friends! Now, watch us North Americans get squat in March, hee hee (of course, Reggie did announce The Last Story for us, I'll wait and see).
