What the heck.

They release the terrible 50hz version of kirbys adventure, which I don't buy out of principle, so then they release the 60hz version of superstar complete with a discount... only for people who didn't care about the games not being in 60hz anyway.

Can you tell I'm angry?

@Banjogeek.

But you can see Big in the seaside hill track in SASRT, which was significantly after that forum post.

No. Noooooooooooooo. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Sega. We don't want new gameplay. Just make it sonic colours 2 with new/different wisp powers.

Pretty please...

@pikchuka97
Because most people DON'T think the other characters are as fun as sonic.

Why would you want them wasting time making other crappy characters when they could be adding more sonic stages?

... No nintendolife, "the next best thing" would be downloadable demos straight from e3 on the eshop!

Nothing for me this week. Already played revelations on 3ds and Nintendo can stick their 50hz versions where the sun doesn't shine.

That's an extremely roundabout way of saying "yes, using women to seduce people/targets/guards is back from Assassins creed 2/brotherhood/revelations".

Congratulations on reporting a story that was already reported as false several hours before you posted it Nintendolife.

I do always appreciate you following your story sources properly =_=

@ Nintendolife editors.

You can avoid being forced in to the murphy sections by using a wiimote to control the game.

At least, you could in the original demo, I haven't actually tried it on this version. Obviously, it won't work on the murphy challenge mode levels.

By gods, it's like I'm reading a list of yesterdays Neogaf threads. What went wrong Nintendolife?

I would probably have gotten Fire Emblem Digitally if I had been given the option to before the preorder for my game shipped.

Yeah... waited for 3 hours at the meadowhall one, got a grand total of 4 streetpasses and no-one was playing multiplayer anything.

This one was a wash out. Oh well, free fire emblem/monster hunter posters and a nintendo branded bag at least.

Hmm. This makes me tempted to pop down to meadowhall in sheffield, but I can't really imagine where they're going to do it, there is barely any space! Especially not in either of the two game stores!

Is there no more info than this on the event? It's a bit late to announce it too really...

@Andy Green

Not everything counts for stars. The existing Wii U Virtual console games do not have surveys on your list, and neither do any 3DS Virtual console games.

Not to mention, half the game names on your "treasure list" don't match up to the survey they like to!

For instance, I clicked the button next to "The Denpa men" and it took me to a "Gunman Clive" survey.

@Prof_Elvin_Gadd

I agree.. sometimes. If It's a well known developer whose work I have played before, then I feel I can reasonably get in on the action.

As good as I'm sure many of the crowdfunded indie games are going to be that come out of this deluge of kickstarters, I'm not risking my money with a new development studio who have never released a game before.

@ gurtifus

Hey! The Castle Conqueror: Heroes games are pretty good, and Bookstore dream was an interesting management game.

No need to drag down the good efforts (admittedly, not great) that they have made because of one(or several...) turds.

Someone should stick a reminder in for any wii u owners: Super Metroid is going to be $0.30 for a month from halfway through may.

It's probably not worth wasting the coins if you can get the better wii u version soon for nearly nothing.

@ChaosAngel.

No, it updates on thursdays.

We get update notes on mondays, but that's because nintendo europe has some semblance of preparation unlike nintendo america.

Checking my mailbox far too often to see if Luigis mansion or Shin Megami Tensei have turned up Nothing yet, but I haven't seen the postman pass by either...

@Geonjaha

A certain eshop dev on neogaf let it slip that his game only sold around 1/3rd the amount in Europe that it did in North America, which is probably why Nicalis aren't in any sort of rush to get games out in Europe . They've probably had similar results with VVVVVV and Nightsky .

Still sucks though.

It's just not a choice in Europe.

Either Nintendo needs to stop overcharging for Download versions, or I'll never , ever buy them over the retail version. Simple as.

I would absolutely LOVE digital versions of Fire Emblem: awakening and Animal Crossing, but Nintendo is going to charge £40 for them, so I'll just laugh and get them for £30 or less at retail.

@Hardy83
You mean an account system like sonys where they're not going to let you access any of your PS3 downloads on your PS4? Yeah, that seems so much better than Nintendos approach of transferring everything.

"MapleStory: The Girl’s Fate is the first title from the franchise to be released on anything but PC and represents a big step forward for the series. "

Come on Nintendolife, seriously, you posted at least one article about the original Maplestory DS game, or all the iOS games? Someone needs to be hired for fact checking.

Is there anyone left who actually wants this game? I hope not!

Oi, Mr article writer. The Europe 3DS Fire Emblem console bundle isn't the same as the North American one.
North America got a regular 3DS in the bundle, Europe is getting a 3DS XL.

Ugh. now when this 2 year old port absolutely tanks, square will point at it and say "Our games don't sell on wii u!" as an excuse not to bring over games in a timely manner.
The pc version of the game has already gone as low as $4.99/£4.99 on steam, and I didn't buy it then! I'm not going to buy another inevitable full priced (£39.99) port.

And what idiot greenlighted this instead of making a timely wii u version of tomb raider?

Punch out (if it really is in 60hz! I want to support the idea that we want all VC games in 60hz...) and little inferno. £4.99 hits the sweet spot for me to try it out.

If I won the grand prize, probably monster hunter ultimate and Lego city (I'd need a hard drive!), and if there was any left over, save towards the remaining upcoming parts of the tyranny of king washington assassins creed 3 dlc.

If I won £15, it'd go towards fire emblem awakening DLC when it finally comes out in april.

I want it, but it's a tough sell at £40, when it comes out the same day as (For Europe) Luigis mansion 2 and Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor.

I can probably wait a month or two for it to drop a little in price.

Oh come on, it's obvious why he's wearing an eye patch and his arm is bandaged, he was caught in the courtroom explosion we saw in previous trailers.

@haywired
Because unlike the DLC, these spotpass paralogue missions build on the main story, and so Nintendo gives them away for free.

The DLC maps are all bonuses with characters from other games (season 1) or alternate stories/extreme challenges/some jokish conversations (season 2)

Everyone should make a point to play the spotpass downloads, especially the last one, which gets you one final character in the game.

@xbassmonsterx

Don't be stupid. By that logic, we should all be playing games JUST on the PS2. And even if you can say it in hindsight, no-one could have expected the DS to eventually outsell the gameboy, which was the best selling handheld (and console!) until the PS2 and DS came along. And it still took 5 whole years from the DS launch for it to eventually overtake the gameboy sales. Should they have just not made any games for the DS for the 5 years from it's launch then?

Layton is doing fine : It's getting roughly what you would expect in comparision to Lost Future, when you look at the ratios of DS owners in to 3ds owners.

There are just over 10million 3ds owners in Japan. When lost future came out, there were just over 25million. Azran sold 130,686 copies. That * 2.5 is ~327,000, so only 20k less than Lost future, and better by ratio than every other game in the series.

I don't honestly know how well they expected the game to do, but if they projected much more than this, they're fools.

I wouldn't buy it.
I already have all 5 English DS games. There's no point buying them again for a console I can already play them on.

Unless AAI 2 was translated and included in the package. Then I'd be all over it.

Rumour?

Come on, a "rumour" that there would be a new assassins creed game each year is as safe a bet as a "rumour" that there will be a new call of duty out in november.

Also, the Assassin in 4 is supposed to be the father of Haytham (From Assassins creed 3). Thats basically the only rumour part, and you missed it out.

I'm all in! Haven't played MK7 in months, but the last nintendolife mario kart evenings were such good fun that I can't miss another! At least for an hour or two!

@Derpsandwich

Don't be a fool. That's Michel Ancel, the Lead dev on the game, he didn't make the decision and you're just being horrible to the wrong person.

@Placlu

Did you seriously just accuse them of delaying the game... from 3~4 months before the wii u launched, to launch?

If they are going to use this time to add some more stuff to the wii u version of the game, I guess I'm placated. I can accept that, while they could have released the Wii u game now (and I would have preferred it!) that they can make the game better by september.

@tech101

My first playthrough of the entire game took less than fourty minutes. It's still worth playing, but lets not exaggerate, it's very, very short.

The XL comes with Fire Emblem installed. Also, it's a Europe ONLY XL, since you have FE:A already, you must be from somewhere else, and you might want to remember the 3DS is region locked.

@jboy1807
Because if they want me to even consider people buying the game, they should darn well offer all the realistically possible control schemes?

You can say the same thing: The game was never designed to be played on the gamepad. But they're adding it, and off screen play to boot.

Why then shouldn't they add the control scheme from Resident Evil 4 Wii? Over 2milion people bought that version, despite it being so many years after the PS2/GC games, with the only real difference being the control scheme. Obviously, it's going to have at least some fans.

That's ok, my wallet won't support purchasing Revelations "at this time".

I get the feeling this would only change if Capcoms problem changed too.Coincidence? I think not.

@jboy1807
I'd love to hear what you think wouldn't work.

@retro_player_22

No, this won't be on your list of eShop games this year. Know how I know? They've listed a January 2014 release date for Cryamore. Still, if it gets a Wii U version, I'll be buying it.

I've decided to plonk down the minimal pledge for a PC version, but if it gets closer to a wii u version being a reality, I'll upgrade to the digital soundtrack, because the music is gorgeous. I encourage everyone to go to the kickstarter page and give it a listen.

You might want to mention the bit from the FAQ, about choosing which console you want the reward on. Specifically this part.

"Will we be able to select the digital platform we'd like?

Yeah, our plan is to provide backers with an option of picking the digital platform of choice, depending on if specific platforms are unlocked. We will clarify this when we send out surveys after everything is said and done!"

I wasn't going to back the project while I thought the kickstarter only got you a PC version, as if often the case with kickstarters (for example, Pier Solar). Now, I'll be keeping an eye on it, if it looks like it'll reach the stretch goal, I'm all in!

A publisher interested on putting it on the Wii U, hmm?

Ugh, the only name that springs to my mind is nicalis. Someone, please tell me that there is someone else, so I can have at least a little hope of this making it to europe.

Got me excited for a moment, thinking this was a port of the PC/360/ps3 game of "The Walking Dead".

Instead, it's an FPS by activision that no doubt will be mediocre at best. I'm not buying it anyway. Shame they're trying to cash in on the popularity caused by the other "The Walking Dead" game.

SA1 and SA2 are terrible in comparision to any modern platformer, and frankly, they were barely good in late 1990s standards. I'll be giving any new game that plays like SA1/2 a miss.

If only they could paperise it into a game anywhere near as good as thousand year door. Ah well.

Anyone who expects any changes other than moving the tingle tuner to the gamepad, and a "Super Guide" addition to give hints is going to be sorely disappointed.

Any additional dungeons they had would have been incorporated into Twilight princess somehow, and the idea that they'd come up with a second version of every dungeon for a master quest is simply not going to happen.
They want the game out in Autumn (Fall) but they're not even at the point where they have a working trailer. 6-9 months will barely be enough to get the game up and running, forget adding anything significantly new.

@moomoo

That argument is stupid. They ALREADY have to compete with Nintendos legacy, because you can still buy everything on Wii U through the wii shop channel.

It seriously wouldn't kill them to at least move everything from th Wii Shop channel to the Wii U eShop.
