It's understandable since buying New Super Luigi U would cancel out all reasons to buy New Super Mario Bros U.

Digital only you say? More like stupidity/Capcom ideology only. I pity Capcom recent dilemmas, but if they lack dedication then there is more shame then pity to purloined from Capcom.

Here's a question worth considering:

Where did a 14 year old boy get a knife and why didn't anyone consider it dangerous for a boy to wield something that can be used as a weapon?

If I recall from my previous ventures out on Streetpass there's a high percentage of players who still play Pokemon games that were released years ago. Just last month I managed to finish the final chapter of Pokemon Conquest.

It's fair to understand why Mother 4 wouldn't be developed. Though many fans such as I would agree that there should be a 4th instalment, I do believe that Mother 3 tied up all loose ends and delivered the finale of the entire trilogy. Though perhaps a remake or side-story isn't out of the question.

Does Sega realize that most hardcore video game fans can't even run a mile without stopping to catch a breath. Though I do enjoy playing tennis and going to the gym to build some muscle tone, I fail to see who could possibly find something like this to be popular among many individuals.

@ACK Simply asking for another cookie to crumble. A scam in words simple enough for even some of the simplest to understand. It would seem that without the red ring Microsoft may have suffered many hardships by 2008 and possibly experience a dramatic decrease in sales by 2010 due to the PS3's uprising and the Nintendo Wii's best year.

And yet a NES release in 1985 still works while a Xbox 360 died out in a matter of years from the red ring of death.

Perhaps a localization is in order.

Perhaps this can be seen as an opportunity for Itoi's games.

1) The Legend of Zelda A Link to the Past
2) Secret of Mana
3) Ogre Battle Let Us Cling Together
4) Fire Emblem Thracia 776
5) Donkey Kong Country 2
6) Kirby Dreamland 3 (bias)
7) Chrono Trigger
8) Final Fantasy IV
9) Earthbound
10a) Street Fighter Alpha 2
10b) Dragon Quest V

Please note that more then half these games came right off the top of my head.

Even if I have a Wii U I wouldn't buy it. I've already played the remake, the Virtual Console edition, the 3DS version, and on the Kirby Dream Collection compilation.

All I need is a sequel starring Frank Honey.

As if Boston was having it any better.

Nintendo simply endeavours and fulfils their fans best wishes. At this point of time, Nintendo owns fundamentally 70% of the handheld market in the gaming industry.

After playing through merciless difficulty setting in Fire Emblem Shadow Dragon I've grown adapt to spawning enemies that get to move on the same turn.

My only problem with Nintendo Direct this time is the excessive amount of Super Mario titles. Sure most of them look amazing, but I was hoping Camelot would develop a brand-new Golden Sun. Another complaint I had were the lack of Professor Layton VS Ace Attorney which is a game I have been anxious for since 2011. I also would have liked to hear a little more about the upcoming DLC for Fire Emblem Awakening. All in all, Nintendo Direct certainly has me thrilled with a brand new Zelda game and information regarding Pikmin 3. I do believe that I'll be getting a Wii U once Pikmin 3 hit store shelves.

Capcom has 3 Aces and 2 Jokers in their hand. Will they hold (play it safe and avoid any stupid decisions) or throw it all away?

Guess EVERYONE is going to have a go at the cape crusader's newest adventure.

@bofis Well said.

The Nintendo 64DD should have been included with the original N64. Sqaure-Soft begged Nintendo to develop a CD based console but Nintendo ignored their request and allowed Sony to get a crisp breath of fresh air.

Damn it, Fire Emblem Awakening is still consuming countless hours from me.

It better include the following words:

• Final
• Fantasy

I would much prefer a solid object oppose to something that I can get for a game but at an overpriced deal. Better yet, why not just release original titles like Tingle Balloon Fight.

Reminds me of the commercials I use to watch as a little kid 10 years ago.

@ Jon Wahlgren

Paralogue 10 may seem like an escort mission on steroids, but by using a few shots of Rescue from the bottom-right conner of the map you can make turn this escort mission into free experience. Just be sure to watch out for the reinforcements from the stairs after you recruit Severa.

I'm surprised they haven't said anything about the games that "celebrate animals" considering the fact that Animal Crossing for the 3DS is coming out relatively soon.

Certainly a young and aspiring voice actor with a bright future ahead.

Now if only Nintendo can bring several Super Famicom titles like Dragon Quest V, Fire Emblem Thracia 776, and the BS Legend of Zelda to the west.

If you really felt so "betrayed" and "hurt" that the 3DS is using 3D technology, then why don't you add 3D technology to the Vita and PS4 oppose to sewing Nintendo. And oddly enough, why now? The 3DS 3D technology has been known widely since E3 2010 almost 3 years ago.

I probably spend the most time on Final Fantasy IV The After Years then any other WiiWare title. Although I still regret not being able to see a sequel to Bomberman Blast. I probably spend more hours online with that game then any other titles I have ever played.

I'm still sticking with Fire Emblem DLC.

The commercial certainly sold me out.

Perfect timing (sarcasm), I have to leave my house at 8:30 in the morning for my last lecture before reading week. Guess I'll have to catch the last 15 minutes while it's still live

Says the developers who milks every possible franchise it can touch.

Sega really went all out with this game. Celebrity endorsement, promotion for a Disney movie, and fan service all in one game is saying something.

One of these days Nintendo should bring every Fire Emblem title to the west as well as the BS. Nintendo should have taken notice of the potential this series had 20 years ago, but I guess better now then never.

Fun Fact:

In the western version of the Fire Emblem OVA Marth was named "Mars."

One of these days Nintendo should bring the BS Zelda titles to the West. Although I could go for another Zelda game made by Capcom.

I would prefer downloading Fire Emblem Mystery of the Emblem and Earthbound over Punch Out and the original F-Zero.

Although I've been busy lately I've been considering From Russia with Love due to it's positive reception and voice acting from 007 legend Sean Connery. Plus there's always All or Nothing, that game probably has the most voice acting from the actors themselves including Pierce Bronsan as Bond, John Cleese as Q (although it's regrettable Llewelyn wasn't around), Judi Dench as M, and even Richard Kiel's Emmy awarding winning voice for Jaws.

Downloading the demo of Fire Emblem Awakening while posting this blog.

I already ordered my own copy online. Plus I'm getting a free art book with artwork of all of the characters with my order.

Playing Donkey Kong today it feels slow-paced but for it's time there's no denying that it was the best for it's time.

The Wii U is dead ... get it ... the walking dead ...

I guess Sega didn't want to risk ruining the Streets of Rage series credibility. After the SoR 2 the third title didn't work out well unlike the other 2 titles. It's a pity, the second entry in the series along with Final Fight and Double Dragon were the greatest Beat'em Ups out there.

Although Nintendo was a little weak this year I did find myself amused with the best that Nintendo had to offer. My only regret is the lack of Megaman Legends 3 and a brand new boss in Kirby Dream Collection.

I'll have to see if I have enough room in my 3DS. I still have to finish Professor Layton and the Mask of Miracles and Pokemon Conquest hasn't been giving me too much of a chance to play due to it lengthy episodes.

Only one month left. It felt like forever since a Fire Emblem title hit the West.
