Amazon are an online retailer, nothing more. Chances are we would've heard something about this, even if only rumours, long before Amazon put this up. At best it's a download code with an incorrect price tag. It's most likely an error altogether.

I LOVED this game as a kid and I would love to get it again... I resisted the urge on the Wii VC but now that it's on the WiiU... I may just have to buckle. Who here wants to tip me over the edge?!?

Capcom definitely made the right choice. Anyone to say otherwise is heartless. I think it was a good stunt and I woulda loved to see it but I'm glad they cancelled it.

What a pompous jerk! Like he's king of gaming? I've never even heard of him. I still won't recognise his name, and he made Fifa11? Next year you won't be able to give that game away! Talk about 'crap' lol.

@rjejr Yes but mad for all the right reasons

@Hunter-D
Looks lekker! I might buy the box just for that!

@FullbringIchigo
As long as it's a budget price I don't mind... I wouldn't want to pay "retail" for it though (PS I can't watch the presentation; at work)

@WiiLovePeace Dude! That is a frickin awesome idea! I still hope they release one where Mario is saving Peach, Daisy AND Rosalina from Bowser, Bowser Jr and maybe Tatanga respectively. But Mario Starshine? Who can turn down a game called that?
I'm at work again... as usual... I'll probably be here reading comments though and I'll watch it later. Enjoy it all! Hoping for Pikmin 3 details

To be fair one of them did say he was stuck for an hour and a half and if that's true then fair play to him.
As far as the others go, I feel sorry for them. I don't think they're stupid or such because the game developers are at fault for providing these ridiculous "hey listen" tutorials if people get stuck. I feel sorry for them because half of the fun in video games is discovering where to go and how to get there. People who play games these days don't have half the fun as our older generations.

I'll be visiting from Bristol for all 3 days so I'll see you there! Really disappointed with the games lineup tbh, I either have the game or not interested in it. No Pikmin3??? Gimme a break! O well...

Nah that was their original, I'm sure you know what I mean though A sequel that's actually a prequel.

@SparkOfSpirit
Me too!

Never played this one but I loved my Amiga games and this LOOKS like an amiga game (except for the enhanced visuals of course) - this looks like a right step in the direction of Nostalgia City!

I still think if they released a second ZombiU, they should make it more of a prequel! Let's face it, alot of the time we relied on the baseball bat anyway; if they release it so that it's based during the original plague back in the 1600s, we'd have more melee weapons like bayonets and pikes, pickaxes, scimitars, other swords, etc, along with a select few firing weapons (we can keep the crossbow, woo).
Let's face it, it just plain makes sense!

This has been my argument the whole time. They will have the same problems; I'll be surprised if they have the same number of games the WiiU did or more.

This is one of those games that just withstands the test of time! In fact I think Corbie should explain why he dropped it from a 9/10, which is what I believe this game deserves, to his 7/10.

@Realgamer4life @Prof_Elvin_Gadd
I found it interesting... a little digressing and off-topic but interesting nonetheless. (makes sound like an elephant)

This is all well and good but wasn't the whole point of not being able to do that because of data-protection? How are they going to monitor that?

@Peach64
I never said they weren't developing their next consoles however they made several statements prior to the WiiU's announcement stating that their current gen consoles will have a 10year lifespan, taking us to 2016! This only changed with the announced WiiU!
I do admit however that I was unaware of the specs being released however that makes no difference if the TV's can't allow the consoles to be used to their fullest potential.
This was similarly the issue the gamecube had, where it was capable of generating 3D graphics but it required further development that, instead of being added to the GC, was put 100% into the 3DS.
Still... They have to play their hands carefully for the next few years. There's a lot of money involved in the gaming market now and not a lot of that money comes from consumers anymore.

They're saying this except no one really knows the specs of the PS4 and 720 and atm TVs can only really produce 1080 graphics; even the 4k models are so expensive that it won't come to the public in the next 5/6 years which is how long a generation lasts.
Speaking of which, what defines a generation? The original business plan for MS and Sony were to release their "next gen" consoles in about 2016 because they didn't see the need to upgrade their current hardware, however the WiiU has got them worried so they're pushing their new consoles forward so that they don't 'miss out' a generation of consoles. They have to play their cards carefully because they're so strangled for money that they could create machines so powerful that they either lose money or charge too much that people just can't afford.
And for the WiiU being dead? I've seen enough consoles come and go to know what makes a console and what doesn't and I'm sorry but Nintendo will be around long after Sony and MS stop making consoles.

I love that! The one concern I had about buying this game was the emphasis on violence. Although it's going to be there, it's still up to me how violent it will be and that can only be a good thing! Sounds like a good premise. Fable was strong on that good or evil aspect, but it became very trite before the first game even finished.

I find it hard to believe that's just 8bit, it's incredible! I definitely will be purchasing this and I can't wait!

I want the return of the insanity effects. That, to me, made the game! Without it, this could be any other game.

Shadow Of The Eternals is a good name. Even Eternal Darkness: Shadow Of The Eternals, none of this '2' crap. I just hope it's as good as Sanity's Requiem and Nintendo-exclusive like the first one was. If they can do it, like the original with as many mind-**cks and head-twists then this can ONLY be a good thing whatever they call it or what consoles it's on (as long as one of them is the WiiU).

Some of those games look interesting but I'll definitely cheer on Monkey Island 2 Special Edition!!! It's already on the PS3 E-shop along with the first one. The third one should also be released (the best one in my opinion and I played Monkey Island on the Amiga!). I hope it's announced for WiiU soon because my PS3 is in South Africa and will soon come to the UK in August! As soon as it does, I'll be purchasing Monkey Island... unless it's announced for the WiiU

...bloody fascists...

Is everyone really surprised by this? I think modern day gamers are too demanding. I don't think anything Nintendo have done is in any way whatsoever unreasonable. The article makes the good point of the work that goes into transferring a game to the WiiU, even from the Wii. I've not been expecting a 'new' title to the WiiU vc until 2014 and to be honest, the promise of Earthbound is amazing for us in UK/US. Any 'new' titles this side of the holiday-period 2013 will be incredible! Be glad for what you get!

Don't want to see MORE of it, but for a game like this it suits it perfectly! It'll be an excellent tool if they use it properly! Not like 'play the game away from home' - but if they simply make use of it, it'll be great!

It's definitely a good idea. With the Wii U's prices being slashed most kids will be getting that at christmas instead of the inevitably expensive sony/ms consoles. However most, if not all, hardcore gamers won't care about the price, but they will care about the games! So anyone who's not already in ownership of a WiiU, or need their minds made up, will be by the time Mario, Zelda and Mario Kart are all released!

OMG these should be in the Club Nintendo rewards! I'd get married with these rings!!!

I LOVE THIS!
I recognise so many of those pictures from my own activity feed; they're brilliant! I wish mine were noted (they're not all great and I don't post often but why not checkit? NNID: LavaTwilight)
I can't believe Miiverse has taken off like this, now this has GOT TO be accurate when Iwata says 'I never expected this kind of reaction'

Also I know this is being pedantic but red-shells don't rebound, only the green-shells do.

@trondood
I'll play NintendoLand with you!

This was my freebee for the European promotion we had recently... I may consider something else but... at the same time I do have an XL and I'm not a fan of digital downloads if I can help it... I may need to make room though

If they ever release a 'princely purple' or 'dark plum' or a WaLuigi model... that kinda colour... then I'll definitely buy a brand new wiiU just for that!

Just another example of why I won't purchase these kind of mobile/cell phone games.

I agree to that question; people who may invest money in iPhone games are looking to pass the time on their commute or just during a rainy day... they're not really serious gamers.Hopefully, 3DS sales are increasing because we're encouraging new serious gamers... one of us... one of us... one of us...

Since I have a lot of these on the Wii VC already and/or the WiiU VC, the only one I'd be willing to spend money on again to have on the WiiU is Super Mario World. The others can stay where they are!

Downloaded the demo and I'll be honest I was a bit disappointed. I was expecting the game to offer more than what I got and although I appreciate that the game will obviously showcase much more than the demo could, I feel like it's not the sort of game for me. Especially if I have to dedicate hundreds of hours to it, considering I'm a completionist when it comes to games, I just couldn't justify buying it.

I really can't stand some people here. Let's face it. Nintendo is a business. And however much you like to dress them up, ALL companies (Nintendo being no exception) have 2 mission objectives. 1) Make us much profit as possible. 2) Spend as little money as possible, but not to the detriment of the first rule.
It's that simple! All businesses are like that. They wouldn't add on the cost if it wasn't necessary. Don't like it? Don't buy them. It's that simple!

@ULTRA-64
I'm not too bothered but at the same time I'm not going to dish out too much redownloading games I've already got. Especially now that we can load the 'Wii console' up by holding a button down, is there much point? Some games are worth the repurchase if you're that much of a fan, so for me I'll pay for Super Mario World again, but not for... say... Mario 3. Even though I love it... just not as much as SMW

What titles would I like to see when it launches? Loads but the likelihood of them being there is minimal to non-existent. What titles would I like to see come to Virtual Console? Desert Strike and Krusty's Super Funhouse! I'd also like to see GCN games like Mario Sunshine, Eternal Darkness and Mario Kart DD!

@DerpSandwich I don't follow your train of thought... it's Nintendo that they haven't released it? I think that's what they're doing now. Unlike other companies they listen to their fans and they go out of their way to give their customers what they want instead of telling them what they want. All companies, no matter how you dress them up, are out to make us much money as possible, and spend as little money as possible (but not to the detriment of the first). So no company are going to spend money if they think it's not going to help bring more in. Nintendo however do listen to their fans and that's why we have Nintendo Direct and why Iwata-san refers to Miiverse so often, because they listen, they let us know that, and they make it happen. So when you say "It's Nintendo", are you really saying "It's business" or are you saying something else and if so please explain.

@BlackSpy Neither can I. I think I'm only psyched for it because everyone else is! I wanna see what all the fuss is about

I'd rather get a boxed copy too. Does the extra 25% also include eshop vouchers, IE for VC games? Anyone know...?

I hope people are there or it's going to be an important day wasted!

I'll be there! Bristol Cribbs!

Awesomeness! My money in the Lego City: Chase Begins fund has now mysteriously transferred over to the (LTTP) Legend of Zelda (2) fund. How strange

Perhaps this is one of the unforeseen benefits of the Miiverse?
That it is monitiored, that the presidents of Nintendo all have access and can see directly what the fans are saying in ways they never have before? As much as NL are convinced that Iwata-san takes a few minutes out of his day to browse the NL website (jk) he probably doesn't. Same with all other websites, probably including the official Nintendo website.
But with Miiverse, they see everything the fans are saying! Complete awesomeness!

Thanks Mike, these were all the concerns I had with this game, pretty much above. I felt the WiiU loading times were too much (God help us if we ever go back to Spectrum-style loading times eh) but with 3DS times being longer? No thanks!
