@Einherjar probably just means re-investing profits

Im a gamer since about 1991, looking back gaming in general then was far harder. There was actually a point to having and reading an instruction manual, save points for the most part didnt exist and if they did it was usualy a password you had to use. However I must admit as a person in my late 20's I find I have less time to game so I do appreciate things that save time like tutorials and save states, but I can still throw down when need be

Id love wii u to soar in popularity, and then nintendo to tell EA to stick it. I would also like nintendo to be a bit pro active about this and look at getting developers on board to fill the gaps. Okay no fifa so make sure we get pro evo, no mass effect well we should have metroid and so on. Id really like nintendo to start picking up studios or work out deals for some more adult oriented games like they did with bayonetta

I still think its not as popular in the uk, not really sure what the issue is but I go into big stores like tesco and theres hardly any games or units at all. Today all I saw was luigis mansion and the lego game that was it, next to loads of ps3 and 360 games and certainly no wii u presence at all. Yet I go into game and 3ds is usually towards the front of the store with a fairly big presence. Has nintendo somehow pissed off uk retailers?

I will get both, rayman fiasco aside I really like ubisofts support for nintendo, so its only fare I pick up both, i may still change my mind as well and pick up rayman, ive enjoyed the challenge app

Its nintendos ip so whats the issue

Can NL find out whats happening with scribblenauts unlimited in europe

This should really come to europe, ended up importing the first game on ds but wont be able to do that this time round

Shame, ive skipped wwe games for a few yrs but did plan to pick up this year if it came wii u, oh well no great loss same with fifa really

I think his point about a dan adelman type in europe is important, why arent we making it more appealing for these indie devs to get on nintendo consoles, with nintendo it always seems to be a case of evolution rather than revolution, which can be a slow process

@ferthepoet I refuse to buy an eshop title at 39.99, I havent paid more than £30 for any physical 3ds game so far including games purchased on release date and production costs on those games have to be higher. In fact most have been about £27 that I have purchased online, so if we start getting towards those sort of figures I will consider it. I do have the first 3 phoenix games but I can wait it out for this one, I dont want to see the download only route become common practice, especially for an established franchise

Probably wont get it until it gets a price reduction, have a real problem paying full retail price for a download game, would have to be about £20 for me to consider it

My only issue with kickstarter is using nintendo consoles for big stretch goals and then not meeting them but then using the money to release on other systems

If I recall correctly this was the same paper that led the way with 3ds causing headaches and being harmful to kids. Its a sh*t paper thats more focused on fiction and the editors wouldnt know a true story if it jumped up and smacked them in the face (hopefully)

Although its probably crap, itd be funny if this was true, what would all these 3rd parties use as excuses for not getting their engines running on wii u then.

Sorry but thats not really news its just someone making crap up, mainly it wouldnt be up to yukes it'd be up the publisher and maybe ultimately wwe, and 2k sports has already brought nba to wii u so they arent adverse to the system.

How about a new project justice or power stone, id be well up for either

The kids a 13yr old father, and a video game is the biggest talking point about him, go figure

Any chance of some decent rewards for europe, still want a gold nunchuck

Panzer dragoon, streets of rage, shining force, alex kidd, wonderboy, golden axe (better than beast riders), skies of arcadia, jet set radio, crazy taxi, virtual on, fighting vipers - that'll do for now

Because they did such a good job with dso...

Would be nice if this game did well and the team expanded to take other rare employees

With the advent of these nintendo directs we now get theres little reason to have an e3 presentation now. Realistically if the nintendo direct we got last week was the 3ds part of an e3 presentation then most would be happy but there would still be those saying they expected more because its e3, sometimes nintendo cant win.

However that being said, i had expected the major focus of e3 to be on wii u seeing as it really does need a boost, however it is understandable that nintendo probably dont want to go head to head with two console unveilings.

My only worries are that nintendo dont have enough content ready to show at e3 which doesnt paint a good picture for wii u, but also that shunning the conference will allienate the press and more importantly, developers and publishers.

Doubt things will change much to be honest, but from what I can see as a european, nintendo usa seems to be the weaker of the three branches (europe and japan).

Ive been impressed with nintendo europe in recent years, the rainfall titles, limites edition consoles, free game promotions, better advertising.

If shibata is behind these things then i think he's doing a god job, maybe america needs to catch up

Glad its open to to anyone no matter when the games were registered, hmmm animal crossing or monster hunter i think, im not a major fan of both but seeing as ive already got luigi, vania and fe and ive got dk pre ordered that only leaves me with 4 to pick from

So i already registered luigi, vania and fire emblem when they came out does that mean i'm eligible?

I got mugged last christmas and had a terrible time trying to get anywhere with nintendo europe, in the end i got the 20 ambassador games back but none of the eshop titles id purchased

Love the but where the drawing of link walks through the bars on the window, great idea. Really good Nintendo direct, this, bravely default, shin megami iv, yoshi's island, fantastic

Bravely default announcement and majoras mask, maybe even layton vs phoenix wright

I would get fifa 14 if it had parity with other consoles unlike fifa 13, however i can do without it

Dont care about dlc anyway its all a big con

The cynic in me says they knew they wouldnt reach the goal in time so they add wii u in at the end to get the pledges up. Problem is all those nintendo fans could pledge and it miss the wii u goal, yet they still have enough for the other platforms

Nintendo should just pay them to do it, even if its a 3.5 type version as ,mentioned before

Personally i think its too early for this type of 'letter' if we are in the same situation 12 months down the line then theres clearly a problem, at the moment im putting the issues down to wanting to get to market before they were ready

Excellent!

Good for them, big fuss about nothing, just nintendo wanting to keep their family friendly image intact

They already are

Feel like ive already heard this story before, has this been reported earlier?

Same day as lego city and luigis mansion, thats a bit unfortunate. probably means i will pick it up later on in the year but i can imagine it having a limited print run, decisions decisions

Can someone not just check their aussie copy for certain to see if this is the case or not

I cancelled my pre order today, might as well have the money in my account. Im unsure if i will buy it now, if i do it will probably be when it drops in price. I was mainly buying to cover the gap in big releases between now and late spring, but I will just make do now and wait for lego city.

I still see no reason ubi couldnt have released the wii u version as it planned to and then just release the ps360 versions in september, whats the problem with that?

I assume this will be rrp £50 in the uk then which i think is too much, but then i think £50 is too much for any game. Ive yet to pay over 35 quid for any of my 7 wii u games so far including nintendoland and nsmb so i expect to be able to get this at a similar price. On a side note nintendo could stand to drop the rrp back to 40 quid in the uk like it was for wii, 50 is just too much

Completely misleading headline, i expect better from this site, its the type of sensational rubbish you would expect to find in a red top, disappointing

Saw this for 20 quid and was tempted, not so sure now
