Sweet that I can try these games (hopefully we'll get Chronos Twins soon after the first week), but it still infuriates me that they just don't keep them in the shop, and bring back last year's offerings.
No demos. Nice way to keep up with their fail-streak, NOA.
This kind of bull is going to keep me from buying a new system if they continue to slack their online system, and their complete dismissal of missed opportunities.
Much I would like to get this, I still have my N64 copy with Hard mode still begging to be completed. It was one of my favorite multiplayer games back then, but with barely any information about how the 3DS will do online (only if its improved), and the fact if this game will have online multiplayer is one of the few reasons I might bite and get it.
Much I am amazed with the line up, I am still very worried with the online features. If its anything like that of Steam's service (not the download distribution portion, referring to the community aspect), then I will get a unit.
Thank goodness someone asked a question I would of asked myself (Kid_A @ Transfer).
I still want more information about the online infrastructure (friend codes doesn't bother me), and hoping that we can stay connected to our friends much akin to Steam's service (Not familiar with 360's XBL and PS3's PSN services all that well).
".How would 'that' screw up the system badly? I'm not interested in backwards compatibility, my excitement and hope lays in the 3D technology. If Nintendo didn't allow DSi Content on the 3DS, that wouldn't be that big of a deal"
Well if they can not do something so simple as this, try to imagine their plans for the next console, or anything related to a possible robust of their lackluster online infrastructure (and do not blame friend codes).
"The 3DS alone warrants the best E3 Conference " Assuming they do not screw it up badly, like not having the option for DSi owners to move their downloadable content from that system to the new one.
I do not own a DSi, but I am going to feel bad for those that did purchase stuff on that system.

Re: Nintendo Download: 31st January 2011 (North America)
Alright, a demo I do want to try, and it doesn't deal with racing.
Re: Nintendo Download: 28th January 2011 (Europe)
Ugh, why are you Europeans getting the better demos!
.Re: Reggie Explains Why Nintendo Stuck With Friend Codes For 3DS
Still not thrilled with a "no account" system.
Re: Mario Sports Mix Giveaway!
Well good luck to all. I wouldn't mind winning this, if not then congrats to the lucky three.
Re: 3DS Rabbids Elaborated
OH SURE! 3DS gets a PLATFORMER, but the Wii only gets a Katamari wanna-be and mini-games. Lame!
:Grumbles:
Re: 3DS: Including StreetPass, SpotPass, eShop, Mii Maker & AR Cards
"Players will be able to view game videos, download demos for select games and see how other consumers rated the games."
So in short, its what the Shopping Channel on the Wii should of been in the first place.
"...they can check their friends list to see which of their friends are online and what they are playing."
Already its an improvement over the Wii's hardware FC system, it was almost useless save for sending messages.
I can still hear the 3DS mock laugh at the Wii ever since it was unveiled at E3.
Am I going to get it on launch, heck no, I can wait.
Re: MotoHeroz Trailer Unleashed
Looks interesting to say the least.
Re: Nintendo Download: 17th January 2010 (North America)
Didn't we already seen BEAT become a demo from '09? :Checks:
Yep. :sigh:
Plus, I already got Toasted Sandwich from Steam (along with four other games for 5.00 total).
Re: Features: Nintendo Life's Game of the Year 2010 Awards
Only one I went, "Oh yeah" was Red Steel 2 getting Most Improved Sequel. That I 200% agreed.
Re: Enter The Masters Tournament in Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12
I'm still quite content with 2010, the first to use MotionPlus.
Re: WiiWare Super Meat Boy Gets Canned
I really think this is all Nintendo's fault for having such a limited size usage.
Re: Help WiiWare Demos Get a Time Extension and Win BIT.TRIP FATE
.Futile, Nintendo is too pigheaded to realize they are just going to do what they do best: missed opportunities.Re: Meet Snivy, Oshawott and Tepig, Pokemon Fans
@_@ I seen the evolved forms of that pathetic looking seal, and it really doesn't look pathetic.
Re: Nintendo Download: 22nd November 2010 (North America)
Not only demos, but a VC game as well.
Just wish they just keep them in the Shop Channel, including last years entries.
Re: North America Gets In On WiiWare Demo Action Next Week
Its still bittersweet.
Sweet that I can try these games (hopefully we'll get Chronos Twins soon after the first week), but it still infuriates me that they just don't keep them in the shop, and bring back last year's offerings.
Re: Nintendo Download: 15th November 2010 (North America)
No demos. Nice way to keep up with their fail-streak, NOA.
This kind of bull is going to keep me from buying a new system if they continue to slack their online system, and their complete dismissal of missed opportunities.
Re: Six Capcom Arcade Classics Launching on VC this Winter
Not to be picky, but these are some very underwhelming titles.
Re: Exclusive: Nintendo Bringing Back WiiWare Demos
The only thing I find in all of this is "Why does this have to be a special occurance." :facepalm:
Re: Capcom Reveals Virtual Console Arcade Support in the West
Fail
Where is the Darkstalkers?
Re: 3DS Details Unleashed at Japanese Press Event
I'll wait a year, or two. Way too expensive.
Re: New Trailer for NBA Jam Remix Modes is Nothing But Net
Someone should tell EA that no one cares about this game anymore since they like gimping this one to death.
Re: n-Space Interested in Bringing Geist Back from the Dead on 3DS
I never finished the game because dual analog controls for a FPS are a joke.
Not real sure with this game coming to the 3DS to be honest.
Re: Japanese Virtual Console list - September 2010
Whats the point, NoA rather see that we get junk WiiWare games instead of old, classic games that people had played.
Re: Review: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fall of the Foot Clan (Game Boy)
I remember playing this, but can not remember if I owned it or rented it.
Re: Nintendo Download: 9th August 2010 (North America)
:cries:
Why do I bother checking every week? Perhaps being bored, but this is atrocious.
Re: Witness the Birth of My Little Baby on WiiWare This November
Reminders why I decided to go to Steam.

Domo is not really cute, but he is full of awesomeness.
Re: Win One of 100 Digital Copies of Groovin' Blocks
Got my free copy a few days ago, a nice puzzle game. I am sure to recommend it to others that I know.
Re: Reggie Confirms 3DS is Coming Next Year
No rush, I like that its next year.

Re: Iwata: Nintendo Looking to Improve Online Efforts
@LinktotheFuture
I honestly think Wulu Island should be an online hub for the next system.
Re: E3 2010: 3DS Will be Out Within 12 Months
I can see this being released during Q1 2011 based from the first announcement of the 3DS back in Spring.
Re: E3 2010: EA Hints at 3DS Online Functionality
"We've approached Nintendo for more information about these functions and will update you as soon as we know more"
Mind also telling them the power button is at a dumb spot?
Anyway, if this is just as good as the other platforms (though I only know more on the Steam browser), then I am sold on the 3DS.
Re: E3 2010: Star Fox 64 3D for 3DS
Much I would like to get this, I still have my N64 copy with Hard mode still begging to be completed. It was one of my favorite multiplayer games back then, but with barely any information about how the 3DS will do online (only if its improved), and the fact if this game will have online multiplayer is one of the few reasons I might bite and get it.
Until then, no thanks.
Re: E3 2010: Dead or Alive 3D

Re: E3 2010: Reader Questions - Day One
Thank goodness someone asked a question I would of asked myself (Kid_A @ Transfer).
I still want more information about the online infrastructure (friend codes doesn't bother me), and hoping that we can stay connected to our friends much akin to Steam's service (Not familiar with 360's XBL and PS3's PSN services all that well).
Re: E3 2010: Dead or Alive 3D
What I find truly amazing is that the 3DS managed to grab this game for a possible lineup than the Wii.
As I said on the SSF4 page, the 3DS is laughing at the Wii now.
Re: E3 2010: Corbie's Reaction to 3DS on Video
Wow, and the first one they put on the video to boot. Have fun over there Corbie.
Re: E3 2010: Ocarina of Time for 3DS
Ugh, just give us our Virtual Console/Portable on the 3DS. Even if it means just jaggy looking N64 graphics.
Re: E3 2010: Nintendo 3DS
Okay the titles are nice, the features are nice (really curious about the 3D camera ), and the hardware is nice, but...
I want to know more about downloadable content, and the online store.
Re: E3 2010: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
I think to me this was a complete let down, and I was having low expectations too. Maybe a little know-how of the story might entice me to reconsider.
Re: E3 2010: Third-Parties Pledge Big Franchises for 3DS
Wait, Super Street Fighter 4 for the 3DS? Is it just me or is the 3DS laughing at the Wii now?
Re: E3 2010: Live Text - Nintendo's Media Presentation
INB4 people whining about games they do not care.
Re: E3 2010: Live Text - Nintendo's Media Presentation
Interesting, a three in one Mario sports game.
Wish they showed more NBA Jam though, and maybe clearify if there is online or not.
Re: E3 2010: Live Text - Nintendo's Media Presentation
Guess I could say this new Link is our new Castlevania with the new whip item.

Re: E3 2010: Raving Rabbids Travel in Time Revealed
"I'm still waiting for the one where Rayman pulls a Metroid 2 on the Rabbids to take back his planet."
He's too busy being a downloadable game on the other systems.
Re: E3 2010: Live Text - Nintendo's Media Presentation
"The 3DS alone warrants the best E3 Conference "
Assuming they do not screw it up badly, like not having the option for DSi owners to move their downloadable content from that system to the new one.
I do not own a DSi, but I am going to feel bad for those that did purchase stuff on that system.
