I think region locking a handheld is rather unfair - I used to travel with my old DS and have on more than one occasion have bought new games on my travels!
This should be a priority! I should not be able to loose virtual property, there is no good reason for Nintendo to take this stance now we have software tied to Nintendo ID.
@sinalefa I think we are all aware that this game may suck hard, the EU delay is quite useful really as we get to hear what our NA folks think before we take the plunge!
1. Expensive 2. No resale - I alway trade my games 3. Limited storage - I'm not adding a clumsy external drive 4. I like the experience of owning the physical product 5. It will be the end of video game shops

Re: Report Suggests You'll Soon Be Able To Purchase Nintendo Titles Via Your Phone Or PC
Please Nintendo don't make a mess of this!
I hope to see this appear along with the 3DS Miiverse and eshop overhaul that's LONG overdue!
Re: Review: EarthBound (Wii U eShop)
Can't help but think a 3DS version would be better!

Oh...
Re: StreetPass Mii Plaza Update Brings New Paid Downloadable Games
Crashes whenever I try to buy a gam or the combo - I'm trying to give you monies nintendo!
Re: New 3DS Firmware Update 6.0.0-11U Now Live
I think Nintendo are having server issues, it will most likely be sorted once the updates are complete...
Re: New 3DS Firmware Update 6.0.0-11U Now Live
Will I'm in EU, it's all very exciting except it crashes EVERY time I try and buy the new games
Re: Review: Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move (3DS eShop)

Re: Nintendo Download: 9th May 2013 (Europe)

Re: Nintendo Issues Statement on Wii U Hacking Attempt
@AbeVigoda you always brighten my morning commute, keep it up!
Re: Japanese Wii U Virtual Console Launches With 14 Titles Available To Download
Super Picross in EU is not even localised - strange choice...
Re: Wii U and 3DS Online Connection Rates Exceed 80%
Their is a general paranoia about internet usage and security in many european countries. I imagine the UK only view would be higher than 57%.
I am very impressed with the 80% figure tho.
Re: Miiverse to Arrive on 3DS "Within This Year"
@DestinyMan all versions; surely that's the point?
Re: Miiverse to Arrive on 3DS "Within This Year"
Can't wait, it should be a priority for Nintendo. I see see it being a great way to get 3DS owners to generate intest in WiiU titles and vice versa.
I can also see it being great for dual platform interactions...
Re: Nintendo Letter Box Update Now Live In Europe
One thing seems to be missing and I'm sure I recall this feature being announced:
Reply to replies, tried to do it, but it seems I may have dreamt it?
Re: Meet The Wii U Karaoke System Which Costs $16,000
I think somebody has stolen a hospital ultrasound machine and installed Super Mario JoySound of Music Mansion U Karaoke on it...
Re: Rumour: Wii U System Update Could Go Live Tomorrow
Classic bit of Nintendo teasing...
Re: Rumour: Wii U System Update Could Go Live Tomorrow
Oh Nintendo why do you do this!
Re: Nintendo of Europe Offers Free Game in "So Many Games!" Promotion
Looks like a free game for me!
Re: Nintendo Of America Rep Insists That Lost Digital Content "Not Covered For Replacement"
This should be a priority! I should not be able to loose virtual property, there is no good reason for Nintendo to take this stance now we have software tied to Nintendo ID.
Re: Feature: Nintendo Life's Staff Favourites - Super NES
100% agree with top 3, where is Secret of Mana?
Re: Talking Point: The Arrival of eShop Download Codes in Stores is a Smart Move
@Le_Gazman I agree 100% I think this is a move that will see digital prices keep track with retail. Smart move Nintendo!
Re: Nintendo And GAME Hosting Multiplayer Mayhem Event This Weekend
Virtually nobody at the Maidstone store...
Re: Talking Point: Fire Emblem: Awakening - The Big Casual Mode Debate
@HeatBombastic but you aren't punishing yourselves if you soft reset, play classic or casual and leave the reset alone...
Re: Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon Remains Spookily Resilient Atop Japanese Charts
It is an amazing game, one of the best I have played for years. Nintendo really are on a roll!
Re: Nintendo And GAME Hosting Multiplayer Mayhem Event This Weekend
Think ill go to Maidstone or Lakeside then. Lakeside has better nom noms!

Re: Injustice: Gods Among Us Release Pushed Back To 26th April In The UK
@sinalefa I think we are all aware that this game may suck hard, the EU delay is quite useful really as we get to hear what our NA folks think before we take the plunge!
Re: Injustice: Gods Among Us Release Pushed Back To 26th April In The UK
Let's face it retailers know something is up when a box full of games doesn't appear at the warehouse! It must be a European distribution problem...
Re: New 3DS Nintendo Direct to Broadcast on 17th April
Would be shocked if its anything huge being its just an EU and NA Direct...
Gotta be Animal Crossing?
Re: Feature: The GamePad - From Waggling Remotes To Dual Sticks and a Touchscreen
Interesting that motion controls is least favourite, when it was the motion that have Wii the edge?
Re: Wave Race Trademark Resurfaces
What's the latest on this, Wave Race was rumoured to be a launch title - now nothing! What's up with Virtual Console in the U, we get jack
Re: Talking Point: The Download or Disc Dilemma
@DaveC not a bad idea, most other digital distribution is just tied to an account, like iOS.
Re: Talking Point: The Download or Disc Dilemma
Lots of reasons not to dowload on Wii U:
1. Expensive
2. No resale - I alway trade my games
3. Limited storage - I'm not adding a clumsy external drive
4. I like the experience of owning the physical product
5. It will be the end of video game shops
