As @Kaze_Memaryu says, everybody who wants this game should pledge 15+5$, and just try to sell the PC code. Win/win, and we might even get this on 3DS as well
@noctowl No. But I see that my comment can seem a little hostile, sorry if anyone got offended by that, cause it was not meant directly to anyone here. I'm really glad that people have different tastes, that sometimes give me a fresh experience, even if I don't like it. And regarding the stereotypes in games, I welcome all that is fresh
@ThomasBW84 Thanks for reporting on all Nintendo-related news, for me these reports are very interesting. Only wished they had total numbers for consoles as well. And included eShop sales.
Can't wait to get my hands on this! The game looks great.
And also excited to see what Retro will be giving us next.
Of course this isn't good news, as games sells consoles and some of EA's franchises is quite popular. But I'm getting too old to bother anymore, haven't even got time to play all the games from other publishers, so BF4 will be my last EA game ever. (That release alone was enough to push me away from them...)
"The game will be developed with English, Japanese, French, Italian, German, and Spanish translations."
My guess is that the 2.15m stretch goal is including additional voice-overs on all of the conversation during in-game.
And the 750k goal is just so they can hire two experienced translator that have worked with Matsuno earlier. So this is just to assure that the translations will be high quality.
They should have made this clearer on the project-page.
Nice that you followed up the recent change in the project.
Now that they lowered the stretch-goal for 3DS I had to back this up. Hopefully they will blast trough the 1.5m mark and maybe include Wii U support later on.
@SavantSupreme That's not a bad idea, I think that a lot of people would find the WiiU more "next-gen" if it had a big hard-drive implemented. And maybe also a different look could help with separating it from the old Wii. It would probably make me buy another one as well, even though I got an external HD
Marketing, marketing and more marketing. Shovel some billion yen at it, to make sure that people actually know that this is NOT the Nintendo Wii with some accessories.
This year was great, and the blindfolded runs of those punch-out games was awesome! The hours they put in those games are just crazy. But the best about this; Gamers donating over $1million to a good cause!
Great article! I find the streetpass games very entertaining, it's a great feature! And whenever I'm traveling I try to stick my 3DS with me whenever I walk around.
@Spoony_Tech Totally agree. I don't see the problem with this, it's basically just an built-in "easy-mode" for those who don't want to spend time on the game. If people wanna support Square-Enix with money (for something they could get for free) then fine, but they shouldn't complain if this then get implemented in future games. I'm pretty sure this will not ruin my experience with the game, and if it does I will not buy their next one...
Why would developers ever demand it? Nintendo really need to focus on the demand of the customers on these issues. That might help them to push more systems.
Gamesrocket.com also offers download codes for some WiiU/3DS games. Just stumbled over this site yesterday. Mostly the same prices as game.co.uk, but it's nice to have choices
Highly recommended! Find it more creative and challenging then the core game. Easily worth the price, and really nice to have it avaiable whitout an extra disc.
Congrats! And thanks for keeping the site up! Covers all my nintendo-news. I have good memories from the start at VC Reviews, it was such a good community..and still is!!

Great review Thomas!
Can't wait to download this and invite some people over.

Re: Mario Kart 8 Free Wii U Game Promotion Extended to Scandinavian Countries
Wow. Didn't see that coming. Wind Waker HD will be my choice then.
Nicely done Nintendo!

Re: Nintendo Is Working On The Next Mario Game, But Can't Reveal If It's Coming To 3DS Or Wii U
Super Mario Galaxy 3 on the Wii U, thank you.
Re: Subtle Character Design Changes Spotted for North American Version of Azure Striker Gunvolt
Bad decision in my opinion. We are all better of with more diversity and less generic, people are narrow-minded enough as it is.
Re: Weirdness: Pokémon on Oculus Rift, with a Virtual Reality Treadmill
@JayceJa That made my day sir
Re: Feature: Kickstarter's Wii U and 3DS Campaigns - 6th April
Nice article! Good to have an overview over the current ongoing projects.
Re: Furrtek Software Engineering Revives The Game Boy Scene With Medieval Puzzler Airaki
Awesome. Give this guy a medal or something
Love all these new releases for old systems.
Re: Review: Galaga (3DS eShop / NES)
@defrb Ah, I had almost forgotten that game. 'Deluxe Galaga' was the name for that shareware Amiga game. Brilliant shooter.
Re: Nintendo Download: 13th March (Europe)
Nice to see Super Dodge Ball arrive on the Wii U.
Now, please give us Nintendo World Cup! That would've been awesome.
Re: Nintendo Download: 27th February (Europe)
Senran Kagura, Castlevania and maybe Knytt Underground as well.
This will be an expensive update...

Re: Unsung Story: Tale of the Guardians Campaign Drastically Reduces 3DS Target
@CaviarMeths In the FAQ this is stated:
-What languages will the game be available in?
"The game will be developed with English, Japanese, French, Italian, German, and Spanish translations."
My guess is that the 2.15m stretch goal is including additional voice-overs on all of the conversation during in-game.
And the 750k goal is just so they can hire two experienced translator that have worked with Matsuno earlier. So this is just to assure that the translations will be high quality.

Re: Yasumi Matsuno On Board For "Unsung Story" Kickstarter Campaign
They have updated the stretch goal for 3DS to 1.5m now. That should be reachable.
Re: Iwata Accepts Responsibility For Poor Financial Results, Ignores Calls To Resign
Wish him all the best of luck. I think they will have set the ship straight (and earn money again) by the end of FY 2014.

Re: Review: NES Remix (Wii U eShop)
What a fun game! Can't wait to get home and play some more today
Addictive gameplay and a great homage to these classics, for a decent price IMHO.
Re: Side-Scrolling Cyberpunk RPG Dex Is Hacking Into The Wii U eShop
Then I will back this one also! Nintendo has really done good to attract so many indie-developers to release their games on the Wii U.
Re: Parent Trap: StreetPass Makes Social Networks Social Again
Great article!
I find the streetpass games very entertaining, it's a great feature! And whenever I'm traveling I try to stick my 3DS with me whenever I walk around.
Re: EA Germany Survey Fails To Acknowledge The Wii U
After the way they handled the BF4 release on PC, they need to do something quite special to make me buy another EA game.
There is more then enough games to choose from apart from EA games.
Re: Paradise Lost: First Contact Makes Wii U A New Priority
Insta-backed!

@andreoni79 Yes, from the original cover-art.

Re: Video: Proof That Pokémon + Dubstep = Not Quite As Bad As It Sounds
Wow, nice stuff. Makes me wanna play
Re: Zelda-Like Hyper Light Drifter May Come To Wii U If Crowdfunding Campaign Hits $500,000
I upped my pledge even more when they announced this.
Really hope they make it.
And 20$ for this on WiiU is surely not a bad price
Re: Nintendo Download: 3rd October (Europe)

Just stumbled over this site yesterday.
Mostly the same prices as game.co.uk, but it's nice to have choices
Is there other places to get download codes?
Re: Nintendo Download: 3rd October (Europe)
If the Final Fight games have the same promo that Street Fighter had, then I will definitely get all of those.
Re: Sonic Lost World Will Dash Away With Plenty of Memory on Wii U and 3DS
eShop all the way
Re: Over The Moon Bringing The Fall on an Adventure to the Wii U
Backed!
Re: Poll: Would You Buy Grand Theft Auto V On Wii U?
Yeah, If not only just to show support for 3.party on the system.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Seventeen
Wonderful 101, just started on it today, and Volgarr the Viking.
Re: James Pond Franchise to Return With Crowdfunding Campaign

My hard-drive is ready!
Re: Precursor Games Relaunches Shadow of the Eternals Kickstarter Campaign
Backed. Hope they will make it this time, and hopefully well over the target, so they can make it even bigger/better.
Re: Gamers in Europe Can Download Pikmin 3 Now By Picking Up A Code From GAME
Brilliant! Thanks for the tip, saved some money there
Re: Pikmin 3 Listed As £39.99 On The Wii U eShop in The UK
Consider it a deal!
Re: Review: New Super Luigi U (Wii U)
Highly recommended! Find it more creative and challenging then the core game. Easily worth the price, and really nice to have it avaiable whitout an extra disc.
Re: Poll: Are You in the DLC Brigade?
Just gotta say it, I like New Super Luigi U better then the original game.
The shorter but crazier levels suits me
Re: Sniper Elite V2 on Wii U Lacks Online Co-Op and DLC
Fail. I would've bought this if I felt I was getting an equal version compared to the other consoles. My money will go elsewhere then.
Re: Hardware Review: 3DS Circle Pad Pro XL
Bought it today with MGS:SE, and it really makes the game easier to play, compared to when I tested the demo.
