Mk_II commented on Review: Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D (3DS):
Certainly buying it again but i'll probably wait for a price drop

Mk_II commented on European Gamers Bemoan PAL Version of Super Me...:
Gameplay is excellent, the music plays just like in the 60Hz version and there's no extra border as in many other PAL games. People just complain about nothing these days... when i was your age we didnt even have videogames.

I couldn't care less to be honest. People who think they can make a living playing video games from their parent's basement should consider a real job. Who watches those awful Let's Play videos anyway?

Now you all know why Nintendo did not include this battery in the 3DS. Another 40 or 50$ on top of the launch price would've killed it
#10
Mk_II commented on PS4 And Next Xbox Could Share Wii U's Teething...:
@ajcismo Exactly! Probably not an outright price drop but lots of pack-in bundle offers, like a 32 Mb console, Nintendo Land and Mario Kart for the regular price (so basically a 60$ discount). I'm betting that will be the top seller in the 2013 holiday season. The Wii U will have a well-established software line-up by that time and PS4 and Xbox720 won't and they'll also be considerably more expensive.

best console ever? No, that's the Super Nintendo but i do agree that the 3DS is the best handheld ever
#12
Mk_II commented on PS4 And Next Xbox Could Share Wii U's Teething...:
I've been saying this for months. Sony and Microsoft will face the same conditions and problems as Nintendo.

@PokeTune First, Nintendo desrves more credit than you will ever have to give.Secondly: It's not up to Nintendo if this game will or won't come to Wii U

OMG! I agree with Pachter, what a terrible shock

Even out-of-print games like Pokemon Crystal still sell very well on the second-hand market. IMHO there's always new demand for these oldies from a new generation of trainers

wise move. PS4 and Xbox will steal all the thunder at E3 anyway.

Just like i predicted a couple of months ago... Xmas 2013 will be Nintendo's.

@SilentHunter382 : no worries there, the "buy two, get three" offer is valid for all games on all platforms.

a local store has a "buy two games, get one free" promotion this week so i can actually get two free games. sweet!

@rjejr you are absolutely right, i forgot it was a DL-only release
#28
Mk_II commented on Nintendo of Europe Offers Free Game in "So Man...:
excellent news!
#29
Mk_II commented on Mother 3 Fan Offers Nintendo Free Translation ...:
@Moshugan manufacturing, packaging, marketing, promotion / advertising, distribution & transport to name but a few. Before a game sits on a store shelf, you've already spent a load of money just getting it there.
#30
Mk_II commented on Nintendo Of America Rep Insists That Lost Digi...:
If your physical copies get stolen or lost in a fire, Nintendo won't replace them either even though you've registered them. That's why you've got insurance
#31
Mk_II commented on Mother 3 Fan Offers Nintendo Free Translation ...:
Nice gesture but translation is only a small part of the total cost of localizing a game so it won't make much difference.
#32
Mk_II commented on Feature: Nintendo Life's Staff Favourites - Su...:
The SNES is the best Nintendo console ever (so far). All the titles in this top 10 and many others from its vast library are still very playable today.
#33
Mk_II commented on Rumour: Wii U System Update Could Go Live Tomo...:
@Trikeboy absolutely. The Rare they sold was not the Rare we all love. The Stamper brothers were leaving, a lot of their best staff had already left and Nintendo saw the writing on the wall
#34
Mk_II commented on First Impressions: The Legend of Zelda 3DS:
Now we know what Miyamoto-san was talking about when he mentioned that he might like to revisit the world of LTTP. Brilliant idea that will sell like hotcakes.
#35
Mk_II commented on Special Luigi 3DS XL System Coming To Japan:
Hey Nintendo of Europe, the 18th of June is my 50th birthday. As a long time customer and supporter i would really appreciate a nice present (hint, hint!)
#36
Mk_II commented on A New Yoshi's Island Title is Coming to 3DS:

looking good (except for my wallet)
#38
Mk_II commented on Limited Edition Animal Crossing: New Leaf 3DS ...:
@bezerker99 UK and Euro prices include VAT sales tax (20 or 21%). If this bundle is to be sold in the USA, it will roughly be 20% cheaper

Mk_II commented on Nintendo Download: 18th April 2013 (Europe):
Kirby at 30 cents is a no-brainer
#41
Mk_II commented on Europe Now Receiving Club Nintendo Stars For A...:
yeah, i got a survey for a game i never bought instead of Nintendo Video. Still got the 50 stars so i don't care too much
#42
Mk_II commented on Europe Now Receiving Club Nintendo Stars For A...:
about time. prices here are 20% higher and we don't get a free premium gift every year
UPDATE: it is retro-active! I've got surveys to fill in for all my Wii U downloads, even for Google StreetView.
#43
Mk_II commented on Hardware Review: 3DS Circle Pad Pro XL:
IMHO the list of compatible games will remain small. This clearly wasn't Nintendo's idea in the first place and only released to placate some 3rd party developers (ie Capcom)
#44

i really liked the Weather Forecast channel but all things must pass
#45
Mk_II commented on KORG M01D Music Workstation Hitting 3DS eShop ...:
Must buy! BTW: this is NOT the successor to DS-10 (which modelled the MS-20 synth.) but an upgraded version of the M01 digital workstation software. As far as i know that was only released in Japan
#46
Mk_II commented on Interview: Michael Pachter On Wii U, 3DS And T...:
one thing is certain: Xbox720 and PS4 will NOT be priced lower than Wii U. As a matter of fact: expect a Wii U price reduction and lots of special "value for money" packs as soon as the other two hit the market. And that is also the moment to pull out all the marketing stops. Methinks that will be Nintendo's strategy

Mk_II commented on Amazon Promoting Rival Consoles On Nintendo Pr...:
my guesstimate, based on the reputation of Amazon and Nintendo, is that A. wants a better wholesale price (= higher profit margin) than N. is willing to give.
#50
Mk_II commented on Weirdness: Looks Like Link Is Versed In The Ja...:
Many Nintendo games are steeped in Japanese mythology and folklore and such a "glitch" would never pass their QA anyway. So i say it is intentional.
