Well, eShop only means I can't share the game with my little brother who has his own 3DS. And that means.... I'll skip it.

@Harrison_Peter No, it's because of the in-game children of the married couples.

@Bulby I completely agree.

I was already disappointed it wasn't possible to let persons of the same gender marry in FE:A, but I guess that was done because of the children.

EDIT: To avoid any misunderstanding, I was reffering to the in-game children,

When my game is delivered, I will play in "half casual / half classic"-mode, meaning: resetting whenever somebody dies, but with the ability to save and restart anywhere. And that means I'll have to chose "casual".

Don't forget to mention that a downloadable 3D trailer of the game will be available for download today in the Nintendo eShop

@Five-seveN That's probably what has been one of the major faults when the Wii U launched, or... should I say 3DS? It is very hard for a (game)company to start an account-based system when the new generation has launched. Which means... were probably stuck with this stupid system for the next 5 years. Thank you, Nintendo...

How many have you downloaded?
None.

Because of Nintendo's very user-unfriendly DRM system, and the fact that Nintendo eShop cards are not easily available in my area.

@Metal_Sonic Game Notes were VERY useful for Virtue's Last Reward.

Oh no! If I hadn't read this article I would probably never pay attention to the feet. Now I'm afraid that I'll keep looking at everyone's feet in FE:A when it is released here

No info about European FE:A DLC yet? That's a bummer.

@datamonkey Will your 3DS battery last for that long?

@Garo: True, but what I meant was that the bugs were in a different region (PAL/NTSC-U instead of NTSC-J in the case of VLR, and NTSC-U instead of PAL in the case of Shin Megami Tensei)

First VLR, now this... What the hell is going on when games are being converted from NTSC to PAL...?

It also surprises me that you're unable to complete the game because of this bug. That must mean that the PAL version didn't have a single beta-playthrough....

Anyone else here who thinks Apollo looks like Zero Sr. from VLR in this picture?

I mean, patch, bracelet, cape

For those who don't know how much a block is:
1 block = 1 megabit (Mb)
8 blocks = 1 megabyte (MB)
8000 blocks = 1000 megabytes (MB) = 1 GB

Oh my god, It's completely in 3D and people are wondering why it's being called Pokémon X and Y ... Have you guys ever heard anything about dimensions or the X-axis and Y-axis?

3-dimesional... (X,Y,Z)

Could this mean a 3DS lite is coming soon?

I would love to win it, I didn't get it with christmas and I like red. Too bad the chances of winning are 1/10000 . Well then, good luck to everyone !

I'll buy it right away, and even a 3rd time if I have to. These games are being worth more than Wii Sports, Wii Fit, Wii Fit Plus and Wii Music combined. Buying these games 3 times is much cheaper and I'll enjoy it, instead of seeing I have overweight again .

The only thing I would hope for is that existing save games can be transferred, but I doubt it (Nintendo couldn't even do it with Metroid Prime Trilogy).

"Thanks to invmat for sending this in."
You're welcome

The question is yet again:
Is it a game with a Wii Remote + ?
or
Is it a Wii Remote + with a game ?
I believe it'll be the last one.

@626b: I already posted it, but repetition can't hurt .

Well, I really want to play AAI2 in English.
I don't know if it helps much, but at least we can try:
http://www.petitiononline.com/AAI2US/

@13: Exactly, although it's a shame. The BIT.TRIP series simply deserve a sequel. Or in other words... I want a sequel!!!!! NOW!

Guys, there is a rumour that the new firmware causes the BSOD, so it's very ironic that Nintendo is convincing people to update their systems.

Too bad I live in the Netherlands .

Good luck everybody !
And thank you, NL, for these kinds of competitions !

About the checkpoints:
If I get a "game over", can I still claim my high score, or work the checkpoints the same as in Runner (so that you instantly begin again)?

Anyway, 24 hours left before I can play it...

I still prefer to put a video of a fireplace on my SD card and watch it via the Photo Channel. Only difference is that it has no sound. And it's just €5,- cheaper....

FC-system has already been confirmed, but:
1. Will it be system-wide or are there FC's for every game?
2. Will 3DS game's saves be stored on the game card or on the 3DS?
3. Will 3DSShop be available at launch or later?
4. What's the 3DSWare size limit?
5. Can games be patched/updated?
6. Has the Black 3DS the same problem with fingerprints as the DSLite?

That's it... for now.

Did nobody read this?:
http://www.gaijingames.com/?p=1992

It contains more information than just the way you play the game. It's some kind of BIT.TRIP BEAT sequel with checkpoints (like VOID). There are 3 "chapters" (probably tracks...). FLUX is not the end for BIT.TRIP. FLUX is going to be released late January / begin February (in NA, so EU will probably get it later).

Wii:
Donkey Kong Country Returns
2000 Wii Points
(And maybe I get more today...)
I'm happy with both DKCR was fun (played multiplayer with little brother). Im probably saving the Wii Points for BIT.TRIP FLUX and Sonic 4 E2. And maybe I can't wait and download the only BIT.TRIP game I don't have yet: Core.

EA is a bit jealous because their Wii-games aren't as succesful as Nintendo's. And now they're blaming Nintendo. EA just needs to make better games and have better advertising.

Grumble........
Screenshots of MEGA, SUPER, ULTRA, EXTRA and the new mode. No screenshots of GIGA-mode, meaning we don't know the name of the new mode yet...

Anyway, I expected this somehow, the music was similar to the first level of Bit.Trip Beat. The planet on the lower-left in the teaser-image also looked like the planet in Bit Trip Beat. And now the lay-out of the screen looks like Bit.Trip Beat.

I heard the first song from Beat Transition very clearly and some SFX from Runner's 3rd world in extra mode in the Flux music. It sounded very positive, and indeed dreamy, just like Runner.

Is this NA only?

@10: Yes, I was thinking the same! Besides that, each game has an icon:
Bit Trip ...
Beat: Orange Line
Core: Red +
Void: Black dot
Runner: CM running
Fate: CM with red eyes
Flux: The same line as beat, but White (inverted?).
This and the planet you see in Beat with an inverted color scheme... Has Flux something to do with inverted things?

Finally, the wait is almost over. Day one purchase.

Wow, it seems that Nintendo is pushing the demo service out of nowhere. Last week we suddenly got demos back, and today 2 new upcoming demos have been announced. Certainly a good thing.

Congrats to the winners! It is indeed nice to see some well-known users won.

If I could only remember my Twitter password.....

@1: Last time NA got their demos 3 days after the EU (if I remember correctly), so the wait is probably not that long....
Speaking about waiting, where is Fate?

@16: WHAT? Is Bit.Trip Fate pushed back for at least 2 weeks? No way . Although I am happy that we have WiiWare demos back, I'm disappointed that I have to wait longer before I can play Bit.Trip Fate. I don't know if I can refrain from looking at the spoilers in the Bit.Trip Fate topic any longer...

What the F***? Nintendo of Europe rarely pushes release dates back. Where is Fate?

I have them all except for Core (I hate constantly using the Wii remote's D-pad) and I also didn't finish any of them yet xD.

@worrybomb: That loading screen is very rare! There are 6 different loading screens and that one is ultra rare. I downloaded games about 100 times (including re-downloads) and I only got it once.

How many levels/tracks does this game have?
(Not that it matters that much, this is an instant download on Friday)

Here in Europe, Club Nintendo gave you stars each day you logged in, but they stopped with that. Why don't they do something similar with the Wii Shop? Each week you open the Wii Shop Channel and watch what is new, you get 20 stars or so. It could at least stimulate to look at the shop more often...

And yes, the Wii Shop was doomed but it couldn't be updated completely that easily so there isn't much that can be changed. Lets hope Ninty does everything right from the start with the 3DS.

A bad week, just as every other week the last half year except for previous week. No Bit.Trip Fate? Well, that means it will be released on the 29th..

European Wii gamers are getting Sonic 4 in the last place and with the highest price. How is this possible?

This lets me wondering, is Europe going to get Sonic the Hedgehog 4 AND Bit. Trip Fate on the same day (15th)?
