@MAB Haha I agree. Japan will actually buy the game but it won't sell that much on the west except for some "hardcore" players.
Anyway, I was just been converted. I'm going all digital on 1st party and 2nd party Nintendo games. They hardly go cheaper. I'm still going physical on 3rd party games as they can go cheaper as 6-10 euros after a year.
I'm sure Super Mario doesn't let you jump high when you stomp at enemies. Mario Maker does let you jump higher when you stomp/step on enemies. So SMB:TLL (SMB2 Famicom) physics?
I'm glad this is a Wii U title. It will truly utilize the gamepad.
I may get a PS4 later. There are only 3 games I want on the PS4 right now. Tomb Raider Definitive Edition, The Last of Us Remastered and the upcoming Rise of the Tomb Raider. Add Fallout 4 if they announce it. Yeah I love the Tomb Raider and Fallout series. But I could still get the new Tomb Raider and Fallout on PC.
I've never cared about Disney Infinity or Skylanders. But with amiibo with Nintendo characters that can be utilized in multiple games? It's hard not to take advantage of it. I will surely be buying some if not all depending on the price.
@ThomasBW84
Are you sure on the price of Pacland on NES? It's 5.99 euros without the discount if I remember it correctly. (Or was it the collection on the GBA at 5.99 or they are both the same at 5.99?)
EDIT:
Pacland is 3.50 discounted and 5 euro normally. The gba collection is 5.99.
I bought Pacman collection. I'm glad I didn't buy Pacman on NES as it's included on the collection. I'm not sure about Pacland yet. It seems like meh. I'll wait for a review at least.
I've stopped buying EA games a long time ago. And I stopped supporting Ubisoft just last month because they're becoming greedy. This is also the reason I came back to my gaming roots and support Nintendo because they are still doing their games right, or DLCs for that matter. I was about to buy a PS4 last year but went Nintendo instead. And I am happy with my choice.
@rjejr
Did you buy physical or digital? I bought mine on the eshop and already registered the code and redeemed the free game. The Star Points (I'm in EU) haven't been credited yet as I still need to complete the survey. But since you're not in a hurry, you can just redeem your free game on July.
This game is being made by Intelligent Systems? You 3DS peasants and half bloods (3ds+WiiU) are lucky and should get excited! -Wii U Master Race (I kid, I kid. ) Seriously I was hoping StrikeTEAM would be on the Wii U. Since I have yet to buy a 3DS, this might be a game that will make me buy one besides a 2D Metroid.
@Toodles
LOL I agree. Why can't he just say is a spinoff. I'm not getting this game anyway in the first place. At least not day one or at a full price. I knew it would be a spinoff the moment it was announced and saw the gameplay. Kinda like Link's crossbow training although that was part of the canon I believe.
@Philip_J_Reed
It is included as well
"The 3DS version is easily the weakest of the bunch; not only does it lack multiplayer and The Golden Vase, but the smaller screen makes it tougher to spot some of the deadlier features camouflaged throughout 1001 Spikes' levels (and for the record, I played on a 3DS XL). Turning on 3D is a little disorienting, and even when it's off, the animation gets visibly (and shockingly) choppy when levels scroll. It's otherwise the same as the other versions and includes the Mr. Video Game skin, but it’s not an ideal way to play."
@Mochtroid Haha. Same. I am the only one who touches the gamepad and even put/change the game discs. My wife and my kid have their own special edition wiimotes. I always remind them that if the gamepad breaks, it's gameover.
IGN review said the 3DS version is the worst among PS4, Wii U, Vita and 3DS (XL).
"Not to be outdone by the PS4 version, the Wii U edition comes with its own custom arcade-mode skin for Aban: the Mario-inspired Mr. Video Game, which comes complete with appropriate music and a fireball attack."
Whoa, my gamepad works only on the same room. I wish I could bring it on the bedroom. What I also love about the gamepad is I can bring my Wii U without needing aTV on my destination.
I agree with DMF on the digital event. But it was very good overall.
Yoshi's Wooly Yarn put SM3DW's graphics to an average. It's beautiful. Plus it has co-op so I'd be playing this with my kid like we do in SM3DW and MK8.
I just watched Shantae and the Pirate Curse. I think gameplay is better than Shovel Knight! Too bad I haven't played the first two. Are the first two on the 3DS?
Between the two Sonic Boom, I like the 3DS gameplay better. I hope the Wii U will be good. The standout however is the shovel dash, shovel stomp, and the shovel fireball!
I still haven't bought Zelda VCs as I'm not sure if I'm gonna get them on my Wii U or in 3DS when I finally buy one. I'd like to get all 2D Zeldas on 3DS TBH.

Re: Nintendo Download: 19th June (Europe)
Pullblox World for me. Is Super C the same as Contra 2? I'll wait for Contra 1 then I'd buy them all 3.
Edit:
Never mind. It is Contra 2. Is the original ever released on VC?

Re: Video: Prepare To Pour One Out For Sega's Fallen Child Stars
I'm sad on what gaming has become.
I recently quit PC gaming for this reason.

This is also the reason I came back to my gaming roots and support Nintendo because they are still doing their games right, or DLCs for that matter.

Re: E3 2014: Hands On With Nintendo's New Online Shooter IP, Splatoon

Platinum is doing Scalebound for Xbox now I think.
I'd like to see a Starfox ala Mass Effect TBH. Or a combination of both gameplay.
Edit: or like StarFox Adventures they say.
