Hi
Will there be any streetpassing opportunities? I need Luigi's Mansion and Fire Emblem pink pieces. In Coventry so need a decent haul to make the journey worthwhile.

Did they just change the dialogue or the graphics too? I don't generally mind boingy bits (I have enough of my own cough), but when they are unfettered and on display, then I'm not too keen. I am woman, btw.

Just had another thought, it's not a Japanese translation of rhyming slang is it?

The 3ds is not well-marketed in the UK. Hardly any stores have the console kiosks and when I did see a kiosk today, the units were not charged so not working. HMV (I know they've got problems of their own) has not shown consoles in stores for ages. Supermarkets I go to certainly don't have them and the 2 GAME stores in Coventry City Centre haven't got them either. Other consoles seem to be given more "space", more prominence. Distributors need to get behind the system too and Nintendo UK need to work harder. It's all very well showing off the console in shopping centres and at conventions, but it needs more focus alongside other systems at the point of sale if the 3DS and Wii U are to compete. Nintendo UK have not released a second special mii either. Is that a reflection of how much Nintendo is bothered about this market? All we have are a few cheesy ads that might appeal to a broader market, but are likely to put off the true target "gamer". More events in stores with better advertising, please.

@ThomasBW84 Thanks! Just wondered.

When companies talk about sales figures, are these the number of units the company has sold to distributors or actual customers who have bought the console/game?

Another one!!! Quite like this one. But not as much as the purple 3ds they have in the US

Thanks Nintendo! Now if you would release a European special mii as well I'd love you forever.

@GiftedGimp
I'm a massive 3DS fan and have alot of games. I won't go digital unless Nintendo fixes up some kind of account. I want to be able to sell stuff I don't like/want any more too. I would like something similar to my Kindle account. that would work.

What if your console goes kaput? Not having a way to redownload so I still have a license to play the game puts me off. At least with a physical cart, if the console goes wrong, I've still got the game. I would not like to lose all the games I'd bought, which is easily ging to be worth more than the console. We need accounts.

Played this today for about an hour at a special event and loved it. Not keen on Fire Emblem though. I suppose it just depends on what type of games you like. That's why I love Nintendo, because they provide something for all tastes.

Release some special miis already then! That's the only area Nintendo UK has neglected. Game line up is excellent for this year, but I want the special mii accomplishment having had my console since day one.

@Buzzthebatgirl Cheers!

I'll probably pop in to Coventry, though which store? There are 3, 2 in the city centre and 1 at Ricoh.

@NintendoPro64 I think a Europe-wide release of anything takes a while because of the translation of text (rules, instructions, etc) Having said that, they are still unacceptably slow. Still waiting for a second speical mii!

Still no special mii release though... One in 2 years is rubbish. That's why it's so hard to get the pink pieces in the UK. Conventions are the only place to get them.

I consider myself a medium level gamer - I play something nearly every day, but I'm not good. I don't own and do not wish to own any of the games listed in the US or UK top ten. I still bought more than 40 games last year and not the cheap ones either. I like what Nintendo do to include gamers who don't just want to shoot at people and I'm not sure I get the point of playing sports games on a console - you could do the real thing. Not having EA on board may harm sales perhaps, but there's still enough for me to enjoy. I wouldn't like the type of games I play to be limited to mass market appeal stuff. Not every gamer is a little boy who wants to pretend to be a soldier or a football star. For those who do, and it's a valid thing after all I have to admit, there are systems available. There will always be games that aren't on your favourite system. Retro gaming is great if you can't afford it first time round

So where's the Eu region Miyamoto Special Mii for celebrating the Year of Luigi? One in two years is shambolic.
