Definitely the right choice.

@Damo You might want to touch-up the above link to Javier Santana Panero's profile.

"He went on to claim that only 5% of players made use of the feature on their current system"

Maybe in the last month, but these things matter a lot more at the beginning of a console's lifespan.

As for me, I'm officially playing DKCR in Wii mode, but lately, the Rayman Legends Challenges App has been more aggressively cutting into my gaming time.

I knew this title would fetch a high review score, but a 10/10? WOW!!

Prepares for 30¢ transaction.

I remember this. Great little racer, I think I still have it.

. . .despite this, I think I never bothered to play more than the first course.

I wouldn't say that it is game-breaking, but, if it were me, I would find the clutter quite bothersome.

@HeatBombastic I was just wondering what became of the TV series.

At launch, people did say that the console's power supply was designed to handle a load many times higher than what the system was drawing.

. . . so, while Nintendo could have boosted the clock speeds, I'm highly skeptical that they would boost it that much in a single update.

I have to agree, not a popular decision, but indeed a practical one.

@All Let it be a lesson, Do your own research, make your own conclusions.

Nuff said. . . .Oh, and CNN is COMPLETELY WRONG!!!

It's good to get that off of my chest.

@BrightBeing

I agree. Also, I would think that the smoke around 5:02 would be harmful to the instruments, but perhaps it's juts an after-effect (seeing as it suddenly disappears around 5:23).

Regardless, I think the brother in the darker shirt is having a lot more fun.

This is one of those reviews where you didn't even have to view this page to know the verdict, the title alone is a strong enough hint!

10/10 and never doubted it for a second.

If they do release it this year, I can see a(n) "[Insert game name here] 2" towards the latter portion of the Wii U's lifespan.

Maybe they won't be so quick to cut WiiConnect 24 after-all.

Currently, I'm using a 32GB SanDisk Extreme class 10/UHS 1 and I have to say, I'm nowhere near using it all up! (ok, about 7 GB used) Some games even seem to load a bit faster than off a regular cart!

At the time, stories of 64 and 128 GB cards were rare, and success was somewhat marginal. Looking back, I don't regret my purchase, even though I seem to have more demos than actual games! XD

Seeing as I haven't had a lot of free time lately, it 's nice to play a short game knowing that If I want to, I can revisit it later. See Portal (1).

Most I'm a long-play kind of guy, but every now-and-then a short game can be refreshing.

"Everybody's Super-Sonic Racing . . ." yea, I'll just thy to leave with some shred of dignity.

I'm not sure about you guys, but I haven't been seeing that amber light when I turn the system off while downloading something.

@Damo "Software downloaded from the Nintendo eShop will include released updates and will no longer need to be updated after installation"

Actually, today when I tried downloading Zen Pinball 2, I had to download both the game and it's update data. What's more, I was able to prioritize the update data over the app itself.

Also, one more thing to add to the "Changes to Nintendo eShop" list is that app galleries (app screenshots on their respective "More Details" page) are now able to be cycled through, rather than returning to the gallery.

I think I might give this a pass, it's not like I don't already have a car inverter lying around.

WOW!!! I really did not see this coming, can't say I'm disappointed though.

Apparently, Nintendo has retracted the posted release dates.

Check the article's sources if you must.

@NintendoMaster I know, I made the same mistake myself. Reading a little deeper, you'll find that this message actually pertains to an old update (the first major update which ran the risk of bricking systems)

"GAME needs a new stock 3DS image..."
I see what you did there.

Oh boy, and I thought we had seen the last of him.
Spoke too soon.

While this is ok, I think we'd all much prefer the ability to post screenshots of all games through miiverse!

What, no mention of Mario and Donkey Kong.

I wonder if it'll be a bit like that multi-screen take on The Legend of Zelda from last November?

(video here for the lazy reader)

I can't say that I'm not happy, but the art style they chose seems a bit, oh, how shall I put this. . Crude. At the moment, the 3D images look like something from an early N64 game, and "Drawn Link" looks like he's set for a narrated Indie adventure.

I've got to give credit where credit is due, but honestly, I'd just ditch the nick-knacks and keep my systems in their original forms. Plus, if you're going for a purely authentic experience then the generic controller approach is truly not the answer (Imagine playing OOT with a dial-pad). Lastly, I'd be a bit worried to have a high-powered, experimental system, made from wood, and with low ventilation running unattended in my household.

I'm not saying that this guy has a bad idea, I'm just saying that I would have approached the situation a little differently.

Objection! It will be the third title in the series to see a digital release. (the original Mario vs. DK was a 3DS Ambassador download)

Honestly, if I were Nintendo, I'd focus my legal battles more on anti-piracy efforts.

This, though intrusive merely means that Nintendo needs to beef up security in some places.

Nice! I was actually looking in to this earlier today.

I don't know, some of those colours just. . .
Oh well, I'll just stick with my Aqua Blue 3DS and black cradle for now.

@clavier141 Yes, the repair software option is nice.

I already got 3d Classics: Kid Icarus with Uprising, and I have to say, it's amazing (especially the music towards the end), albeit with a somewhat warped and reversed difficulty curve.
One of the Punch-Out titles is about to go on sale on the WiiU VC (for 30¢), so I think I'll wait for that.
As for the other stuff, I've already passed it up once, so yea . . . , but great selection this time around

Wow, truly astonishing, is that a small screen inside the temple of time (for the moving cogs)?

Is that an ocarina on the globe?

DKCR . . .need I say more?

@Philip_J_Reed I saw this in the eShop the other day and thought, that's a review for Phil.

"BIT.TRIP Presents: Runner 2 Future Legend of Rhythm Alien was released onto the North American Wii U eShop last week"

Don't you mean "this" week?

Anyway, it looks awesome, glitch, or no glitch.

Won't be getting Runner 2 at the moment since I haven't really started an the first (I know, I'm a horrible person )

. . . but I did manage to get Crashmo, Mighty Switch Force HD, and F-Zero yesterday (before their sales ended), so I'll be getting to those in the coming weeks.

Strange, it seems like a better fit for 3DS.

For some reason, the crab shack around 00:30 reminds me of Flapjack.

Rhythm Heaven/Paradise, good call!!!

Well I think I've had about enough losing for now (sniffles), you guys are viscous!

@ YellowHare91 It's okay, I understand.

It's all right, I'm back in the action!! . . . and dead last.

I finally won in battle mode, only to have everyone else disconnect.

Wow, I've been having the best of luck. A little rusty perhaps, but getting hit off the the course consecutively and then Bullet bill pulling me straight off the course twice, what is this?

@Conzo I gouss you and I will be crying ourselves to sleep. :/

Oh well, off to the Battles!

Sigh, I've got a bit of work to do first, but if all goes well, I'll be there, albeit a bit late.

. . . Now if only I can revive my L/R buttons.
