And the Sonic cycle starts again!

I hope they make it multilanguage.

They could fix the annoying bugs of Terragrigia 2 in Raid mode at least.

This is epic.

@Raylax Cart savegames were stored on SRAM, that it's something completely different from a ROM. A ROM is a Read Only Memory, so you can't store anything there, you can only read from there.
Savestates, on the other hand, were not obviously on the real hardware. So are stored depending on the emulator.

Anyway... It's very easy to extract the SRAM from your VC games and use them in other emulators. Nintendo is just a bit lazy to create an app that transfers the SRAM from Wii VC to Wii U VC.

This could be my first Dragon Quest game! I love how the Toriyama's style is finally shown as it should be!

Sega made a complete Professor Layton ripoff with Rhythm Thief... So, what's going on here, Sega?

Mercenaries 3D should have been a download game from the first day. It's full of bugs, but it's still a very good game to play from time to time.
I guess they have fixed some of the bugs this game has.
Will the retail users get the update too?

Some games like Animal Crossing may not be able to be transfered. The Animal Crossing savegame stores the MAC address of the Wii that created it. If you transfer it to another Wii (using homebrew methods), the online functions won't work on the new Wii.

I hope they can fix this!

GBA widescreen would look nice in 3DS/XL!

Universal account system coming?

They will announce that Animal Crossing will be released in 2012 after all!

crossed fingers

NES Open Tournament Golf for 4€ is a very good price (is it a typo?).
Donkey Kong Jr. for 5€ is too expensive.

My less favourite is obviously Kirby's Pinball Land. I'm a pinball videogame fanatical, but Kirby's one has simply bad physics and no choices for beating bosses (just drop the ball and let's start again the level).

The best one is Power Paintbrush by far. An incredible beautiful and addictive game. It's hard, but it's fun to play and it's very long too!

I still have to buy and try Tilt 'n' tumble, I hope Nintendo releases it for VC using the 3DS motion sensor.

I didn't expect to win!
Thank you Two Tribes and Nintendo Life!

Entered.
Good luck to everyone!

I'm worried about this not being released on Europe.

I'm from Spain and I can download it too

Rhythm Thief is a poor game IMHO.
If you want to revive (I didn't know they were dead) please make a better game. Rhythm games must be very polished and Rhythm Thief is not very well balanced, some minigames played great, others didn't seem to had been tested: they were unplayable even for music games players.
I was very disappointed with it. A Professor Layton rip-off (and completely linear) with a story that looks promising at first and then it's killed by a silly ending, with a lot of frustrating minigames. Although it had some tributes to Samba de amigo and Space Channel 5 (killed by touchscreen controls).

If you want to revive music games, I hope you realize that motion controls don't work with them.

I completed it some weeks ago!
I have to admit that the first stages are very boring. But then the game gets better at every stage!
It's one of these overlooked GB gems. It can offer up to 10 hours of puzzles. Very recommended!

My birthday is on 24th May.
I'll get Mighty Switch Force for sure!

I'll try to unlock the last treasures that I feel able to get in Kid Icarus Uprising.
I'll finish Mole Mania too.

I wish Nintendo added Super Game Boy support to the VC GB emulator. Kirby's Block Ball (among others like Kirby's Dream Land 2 or Donkey Kong 94) looked a lot better.

Animal Crossing will probably be the only one that I'll buy in its digital version, even if I have to pay the same price as the boxed one.
I wasn't not going to buy the 3DS version (I feel that I spent too much time on the the DS version), but this changes everything. Having it installed will make it easier to switch between games or to play short sessions without having to swap gamecards.

If they fix the same price they make sure that there won't be any competition between digital and boxed games.
Personally, I don't like paying the same for a game without its box and manual. It should be at least 5€ cheaper.
But, from the company point of view, I think it's a good strategy, and should make consumers happy because that means that boxed games won't disappear (for now). They are just giving an alternative.

Bad news is that non-english players in Europe won't get our specific dub

The original GBC and GBA had a generic character with your name and he/she even didn't talk. I don't see any difference between having a generic character and your own Mii, specially if you can dress him/her as you want.
So, yes. This is an excuse.

He is a bit arrogant, but I have to admit that he is right.
Wii Shop is a huge fail, in all aspects.

And selling less than 6000 units in Wii Shop shouldn't be considered shovelware as some users mentioned above.
Nintendo didn't help the developers to sell more in Wii Shop (slow and confusing navigation, demos that came late and with limitations, no offers, etc.), it isn't necessarily developers' fault to sell less than 6000 units.
And then we have that chimney simulator that sold more than 6000. Oh... That's the real shovelware.

Don't let the 2D die!

I like it in 2D

@JamieO This is the official japanese boxart for Super Mario World:

Will we be able to merge Wii and 3DS accounts? I'm not going to pay again for games that I already bought.
Well... I could pay again if it was something like 1 or 2€. But 5€ for a NES game is too expensive.

@Cipher: I don't agree. Having a demo installed (or being able to download it at anytime without limits) can be a reason to buy a game in a future. I could I try it today twice and don't feel like buying it. But who knows... Maybe in a future I play it again and change my mind.
Wii demo limitations had a reason to be there: reducing bandwitdh in Nintendo servers (or at least we must believe that, because it also sounds silly).
What's the point of limiting the number of times you can play a demo? It's already a demo, so it's already limited.
I doubt they are talking about downloading the complete game with that limitation. But if that's what they were talking about, then it means the same lazyness as Wii demos: they are not going to modify any game to take out features (AFAIK they only took out savegame features in most Wii demos).

I know that Iwata don't make these decisions But he's the responsible on where his company will go. And he should see that they are not doing the things right with both Wii and 3DS shops.

What's going on with Nintendo?
Can't they hire someone to redesign their online platform?

Iwata obviously doesn't know anything about online, they need someone that thinks differently. Come on. Limiting the number of times a demo can be played? That's even worse than Wii's demos!
Seriously, I'm starting to believe that Wii U will be another fail in online terms. They promised a good online platform for Wii, then they promised the same for 3DS, and both failed.

Sorry if I'm sounding like a troll, but it's hard to believe that Iwata is not joking with this announcement.

I don't understand why a second stick is so needed.
Nintendo DS had a great touch screen that worked perfectly as a second stick. Metroid Prime Hunters was not a very good game IMHO, but it had an incredible control thanks to the touch screen.
Nintendo 3DS has a touch screen and even the gyroscopes.
Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker had awful controls due to the lack of a second stick. But I don't see any problem using the touch screen to move the camera.

This second stick addon is very horrible. It seems poorly designed and transforms your 3DS into a monster. If it's going to be used in all games from now on, then a redesign is needed.

Finally!
I think today's announcements are far better than the whole E3 this year.

Disney meets Little Big Planet.

After playing Let's Tap or Michael Jackson: The experience, I can say that they are doing it right by removing the waggle that just don't work with these games.

The motion controller revolution that Wii created seems to disappear. Nintendo said they changed the way of playing and now they are forgetting about what made Wii different.

I wouldn't pay more than 10€ for it.
Sounds great, and it can improve experience. But it's not an innovation and it's not necessary.

@James_Newton yes, my fault. It must be that I want this game badly

That domain has been enabled for some months. I remember entering it on summer and it redirected me to nintendo.com.

I hope TLS is released anyway!

EDIT: It seems that now laststory.es now redirects to Nintendo Europe!

Leon, Ada and Wesker must be there!

Oni Link mask as an extra would be cool

After almost all 10 years, europeans will be able to enjoy their first adventure of Shantae.
I played the GBC game up to the 100% completion, and I can say that it's one of the best GBC games that were released. It's a pity that it appeared too late and never reached Europe.

Good luck to everyone

Rayman 3D is Rayman 2 AGAIN.
I hope it's a better port than Rayman DS.
