Arkham City was one of the best things I've ever played. It felt very much like a 20 hour episode of The Animated Series, with a shiney more realistic facelift. Sweet Lordi that was a fantastic game.

I've owned a 3DS since launch day, and a Wii U since launch month. Maybe 45 games installed on my 3DS harddrive, and I can honestly say I'd never even heard of Let's Play until today.

@Royalblues no. The 3DS can play Resident Evil in 3D, but it can't possibly handle SNES games.

Where's our price drop for Tekken Wii U? HUMPH.

I agree with it. My youtube channel shows the various wedding scenes from Fire Emblem- since there are dozens upon dozens of combinations, of which you can only see maybe 1/5 on a single playthrough, I thought my channel was a good idea. I looked at the setting that says "make money off ads?" and clicked No. I understand people who make music videos wanting money, or people who spent months making a fan-made movie based off a game, but all I did was hold a camera and press the A button. If Nintendo wants to make a few bucks of advertising off of that, why not?
I've never seen the LPs as advertising the game- you must be a pretty big fan of Mario Galaxy to seek out a video of some bugger talking about it/playing it/etc. It'd be nice for them to let users get money based on their videos, but Nintendo actually put the hard work into making the game in the first place.

I'm getting it launch-minute. I don't like the lack of marriage- Friends of Mineral Town and Harvest moon 3 are far superior in that aspect. But for what, $5? That's like... 15 minutes of pay? It's definitely worth that. It was my first Harvest Moon, and I now own 17 of them.

You can also buy an external battery that connects with a cord for $9-20, depending on size. My $9 duracell is about half the size of an ipod, and power the DS for another 10 hours. My Energizer external cost $18, and powers a 3DS for close to 25 hours.... a $100 battery, even one that doesn't require a cord, better be like...... $30. At the most.

@Tasuki A 32GB card is about $18 on Amazon. A VC download averages 7MB... that's what, .007 of a Gig? Somehow, I think you are safe "saving room for VC games".

Where's my Harvest Moon

@Wanderhope First World Problems #7: Nintendo gives out one of the highest rated games in history for free, and it "punishes" people.
First World probllllllllllllems!

I bought it on Wii U. Forget the DLC- Black Ops Wii U blew my PS3 version away.

Where's my Harvest Moon GBC? Grrr......

I'll get all of them. I've never been led wrong by Level-5.

I'll work from home that day for sure.

@SilentHunter382 What? Re-read everything you said.

EARTHBOUND AIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wait, Virtue's Last Reward is a download as well? Since when? Or is that only in Europe?

@hamsterfactor My Japanese is also really bad, almost non-existent, but I picked up the DS version at launch 2 years ago. The book alone is worth it.

@47drift Wait, Dead Island is still a thing?!

I just ordered one Super Metroid, 1 Mario 64, and soon another Mario 64. Awww yeah fanboy time.

@Zyph PS3 DevKits started at $10,000. Full kits cost up to $21,000. $5,000 doesn't seem like a lot to me at all.

I do enjoy eShop and 3DS cards. A credit card is faster to use at home, but I can find cheap/on sale 3DS cards for more often than I can find eShop sales. I get a $50 3DS/Wii U gift card everyyear from the Red Cross, and BestBuy sends me a $20 reward zone card about once a year. I'll happily use those to essentially get any eShop title for free!

Hmm Square Enix needs money. A World Ends With You sequel would make 5 billiondy dollars. FIVE BILLIONDY

This was my first game in the series. It was either a gift, or two month's allowance. I missed the marriage and town I knew was in the SNES version (which I also own) Now, it takes maybe 10 minutes at work to afford the download.

I'll be getting this at 1:00 pm sharp, as soon as it is available in America.

MASS EFFECT LUIGI. IT NEEDS TO HAPPEN.

$1 short for River King, and no Mastercard/Visa to get more with.. guess I gotta drop by a Gamestop after work. HUMPH

@scir91 Did you get get here from a time machine from the 1970's? ...ever heard of Steam? I'm not even sure where you'd get physical copies you can "See" anymore. The...arcade? Is Babbage's still a thing?

@DarkCoolEdge Contra 4. 'Nuff said.

@DePapier I'd assume there is no discount if you want the digital version- itd be far too easy to rent a game, borrow a friend's, and copy it to your harddrive. Flixster has a service where you scan your DVD, and it gives you a legal copy saved to their cloud service. 500 netflix rentals later....

@Le_Gazman CAll of Duty, Scribblenauts, Mass Effect 3... yeah the Wii U is a ghostzone. goes back to playing Trine 2

When I go to Japan next year, I've been debating picking up a Japanese Wii U, hooking it up to the local wireless, and tossing Earthbound on there. FANBOY, AWAY!

Fallout 3: Wii U edition, please. With a sleeve addition so I can use the controller like a Pip Boy. OMGers.

@Pikminsi Its cute and fun! Its maybe half or a third the size of a normal toys r us. There are a lot of action figures and stuffed toys there you can't get anywhere else, as well as a few museum pieces. If you're in NYC, its right by Broadway and Times Square, so its easy to get to. Worth a trip if you're in the area- I passed it several times on my way to a Broadway show. It is a little disappointing- You see everything there is to see in 5-10 minutes, depending if you poke through every single rack or not.

I've played maybe 400-500 games, and own another 300 across the major platforms. I can honestly say I've only once enjoyed a game that got below an 8 average. That doesn't include sports games or GTA's, which I've never really gotten into for other reasons. I typically skip to the number, then go back up and read only if needed.

I've had 4-5 DSs, and maybe ... 90 games? Hmm...

@Magolor The Doomsayers will always be there, turning up their noses, as every Mario game outsells theirs 11 to one. Nintendo has been around 120 years- few competing studios are around more than 3 years. But, doooooomed!

I thought River King for GBC came to the VC today?

@Ren Classic controller Pro is $19 at Target, and frequently $14.99. Get it nowwww

@L-Lawliet Low quality? Prone to breaking? An ersatz knock-off?

All of them for me, I think. And I just spend 4x my budget to take advantage of a PSN sale... ah well!

@XCWarrior The game has been out for like a year. YOu've had plenty of time to read reviews! GO buy it!

@ThomasBW84 Good, I was just about to message ya We web devs need to stick together!

@MickeyTheGreat The Developer likely won't profit from any of this. EA, the Producer, will.

I've heard the same "Nintendo should only make software" argument posted again and again for a good 20 years now. The DS still the #1 selling system in human history? Check! The Wii the only system of its generation sold at a profit? Check! Did Nintendo invent the FX Chip, the D-Pad, the console analog stick, 3D camera controls, motion sensing, and useable touch screen gaming? Check check check check check. Did I go through 7 Xboxes, but still have the same red DS phat that has seen 4x the gameplay of all those Xboxes put together? Checkity, check check, checkity.

PS Move. The Vita. Super PS3 Brawl, or whatever its called.
Without Nintendo hardware, who would the rest of the industry copy off of? What would I play when my Xbox is on its weekly 6-month trip to the repair shop?

I picked up the ME1, 2, and 3 for PS3 for $10, the same week they wanted $65 for just ME3 on Wii U. Oh silly EA. It's like you guys just HATE making money!

@Lopezdm EA pulling support? They never do that every day

Time to buy both. Twice. On launch day. My poor wife never got to play either. That's just...cruel.

I might get Assassin's Creed now, actually. Humm...

Testers are hired on their writing ability and grammar- it's awfully hard to understand a system-wide crash in 4 lines or less if the tester can barely write. Either English isn't this person's first or second language, or they are not a tester.
