Why bother releasing a new generation? If they improve some of the games' gameplay on the current Wii people will buy more games... Money for new consoles is fairly tight

It's still too expensive... €150 is far too much, try selling it for €50 and I'll give it a go

Maybe it might be a cause of the worldwide recession?

Nice one lads

Cheap? It's €250... I can get a Wii sports resort bundle for €199!!!! Who makes up the prices at Nintendo?

I assume they're including Ireland in their definition of UK... Same publishers, same games, same release dates etc!

They couldn't even choose a real sport to kick off the 3DS launch titles with?

@Gullwing Obviously not

Oops... Accidentally entered it... You're gonna have to discard my entry lads, sorry

Well any Australian can just buy an European one... As for Americans, they can still get the dsiXL from Europe and it should work fine!

Not in feb/march for that price... If it was oct/nov there'd be some chance

Stock shortages? Bu****it! The middle of a recession they can find cheap labor anywhere in the world!

So 6 o clock in Ireland, on Arthurs day... Bugger!

Any similar competitions for us European gamers?

About time some form of streaming came to the Irish Wii consoles

Old price (this time last year) €189/$240... New price (as seen on saturday in Harvey Norman) €99/$125 give or take a few cents in the conversion

Do you know can the 3DS connect to the Wii in a similar manner as the DS/DSlite/DSi/DSiXL? Also is multiplayer on original DS games possible between a 3DS and a DS/DSlite/DSi/DSiXL? This is the important stuff you should be asking!!!

One thing... If it communicates in the 2.4 GHz band that means there will be no more connectivity with the Wii, as the Wii uses bluetooth! It'd be able to connect with an xbox360 though lol

@Trevor
In the bond universe it's MI6 not MI5... And bond is an agent, not an officer

Fact

The ipad is definitely gonna whoop the ds's rear end

Oh look at that points to the sky - It's a flying pig!!!

Gonna be quite hard to beat oot in my opinion....

Next week there will probably be a surge in video game sales in Europe... Most colleges finish up on Wednesday and I know I'm going straight to game after my last exam lol

What's the Euro RRP? Not all Europeans live in the UK!

This should have been pulled 10 months ago! The games been out for over a year! Why did Nintendo give them so much time to fix a bug?

I wonder how Activision will feel about this

I agree the only non-stripped down version of a game on dsiware is zombie bbq, pretty good game as well if anybody is tempted!

Is this game not out in Europe yet? Pretty sure I saw it in game yesterday.... Or is it that nl isn't sure of the date? Well I dunno either so I suppose I'll have to forgive

You spelled colour the wrong way... Note the "U" (5th letter in)

All this talk about next gen consoles, all turning out to be fake... Is there nothing better in the world of Nintendo to report on?

This really sucks for anybody whose just bought a Wii....

Free ipad for all iphone owners

Just hold the iphone closer to your face!!!

Also works with ipod touch

@smetloos

Good thinking I am very up for it

@smetloos Hell ya any ideas?

And don't forget anybody in Europe can apply to the connection ambassador programme... Just exchange Wii Numbers with your friends, or me if you like

@Iz2010 For left-handed people

For Japan it's a terrible update... For Europe... This would be a fairly decent one!

As per usual, Europe (Bar the UK - they have iPlayer), get left out of the loop!

Would love an on demand service for the Wii, don't care much for HD it's too Microsoft/Sony

By comparison to their competitors (X360 and PS3) the Wii is actually more efficient on power and more reliable, which means less of them have to be thrown in the dump! That sounds like a good environmental rating if ever I heard one

I've 4 official controllers and 2 M+ already... I think I'll pass thanks

And they wonder why the CC PRO doesn't sell?

@LITTLEP
Start a group on Facebook and do like RATM did for Christmas number one!

Maybe they'll bring an rte [irish national broadcaster] player to irish wiis soon... Maybe we're better off without it actually

Well I know where my spare christmas points are going... Cheap Mega Drive titles

Well considering the nintendo download didn't give the EU anything to cheer about this christmas... I know where my money is going!

Can you imagine what would happen when it heats up?

10 games for PS3 and 7 for xbox 360, while 2 nintendo titles get 90% or more...

Seems a bit fixed considering I can't even name 10 ps3 games...

@ Gavin Rozee
True what you say but bear in mind ds lite sells for £99.99 and psp go is £200

The problem with natal is that it is technically a new console! Therefore ms are restricting themselves to people who already own 360s for a new console!

Wow that's a long list... Nintendo were clearly up all night writing it
