@Blastcorp64 One possible reason could be that the the N64 version required a Controller Pak to save. As proven with the inability to save ghost data in Mario Kart 64 with both the Wii and Wii U VC releases, I would wager this is why it's never been re-released
I actually do use Wii Karaoke U a lot, the library of songs is massive and it's an excellent idea to rent the software out for a fun night with the housemates. Nice little bonus to get an hourly session in at some point!
@FragRed Splatoon as a video game has done great business in the West, I just think all the above taps into Japanese pop culture a lot more, hence why they'll make profits out of merchandise, water pistols, gummy sweets etc
Yeah I do wonder why Pilotwings 64 has never been released on the Virtual Console considering it's part of flagship Nintendo franchise. Possibly a license issue? Or something to do with the game engine?
Is amiibo shortage still an issue in NOA? They seem quite widely available now with online retailers in the UK and the nightmare supply issues seem long over.
Nice, don't need the game from the eShop as I'm enjoying it on 3DS, but good that they put that on as another alternative. Like that Monolith have been doing a big marketing push for X
The hate for 'Frozen' is rather silly and just seems like a bandwagon people ride on nowadays, I agree it's a fine addition to the neo-renassiance era of Disney movie's.

Minecraft always a chart topper regardless of the platform
Re: Evergreen Nintendo Switch Titles Stay in UK Charts as Yooka-Laylee Makes a Mark
I reckon Mario Kart 8 Deluxe will top the charts easily upon release. Don't think a Nintendo game has since the days of the Wii/DS?
Re: Layton's Mystery Journey is Coming to 3DS in Japan on 20th July

Re: Nintendo Download: 17th March (Europe)
What cheek to charge Super Mario Kart for that much and to have no multiplayer option, let alone having a cross-buy option.
