Probably because I am of age, but this is no big deal.
Only worry I would have if it hurt it's chances of coming over. I remember Trials and Tribulations nearly didn't make Europe because of the nature of the cases.
I wouldn't call that disappointing. Sure, it may not have charted as high as other 3DS titles this year, but that's very respectable for a type of game that never usually makes it outside of Japan.
I for one am happy that Nintendo stick to their own stance and refuse to give into peer pressures from other companies/shareholders.
I'm still proud to be a Nintendo guy, as I have been for the past two decades, and still feel today that I get the best out of my gaming hobby with this company. 3DS was the best investment I made in recent memory.
Not that I'm denying chavs and the like buy it, and of course it sells by the load on the brand name alone, but hasn't the quality of the FIFA series greatly improved over the past few years? I seem to recall this latest title getting very positive reviews.
Happy to see Lego City carrying on the sales momentum, and much good that Luigi's Mansion hasn't creeped out of the top ten yet.
Fantastic news, when I get some spare cash, I'll be picking up my copy. Hope the popularity of this title will mean that Fire Emblem will have forever success on these shores.
A Layton vs Ace Attorney trailer has also been released, showcasing the gameplay. Visual style is very similar to the one used in this new Ace Attorney entry.
I seem to recall there being a Dragon Quest IX advert, with two girls at the helm. All they seemed to highlight were the outfits you could dress your character in, barely any mention of the RPG itself...

Re: Picross e2 Set For July Release in North America, e3 Arrives in September
More Picross goodness is always a bonus.
Re: Nintendo Download: 18th July (North America)
Bet even with the most demanded VC title ever now being available, there will still be complaints about this update not featuring so and so game...

Re: Project X Zone Battles Into UK Top 20 in Debut Week
If you look at the Units sold alone per console, it was actually 11th. It's only 19th because of multiformat sales from other titles such as FIFA.
That's pretty darned impressive.

Re: Review: Aqua Moto Racing 3D (3DS eShop)
I wish Nintendo would do another Wave Race. Would look gorgeous in 3D.
Re: Review: Vegas Stakes (Wii U eShop / Super Nintendo)
I feel so childish that I laughed at that tagline.
Re: Microsoft Execs Thought They Owned Donkey Kong After Acquiring Rare
Haha, oh Microsoft, you can dream.
Re: Nintendo's Kensuke Tanabe Wants To Make Tingle Popular In The West
What a load of Koolah-Limpah
Re: Nintendo Download: 20th June (Europe)
I'll punt for Super Little Acorns 3D Turbo at that price.
Re: Luigi's Mansion 2 Scares Its Way Back Into the UK Top 10
The major competition Animal Crossing faces is Last of Us.
It will certainly obtain a top 5 ranking, would be interesting to see if it can outsell the multi-format series such as Fifa.
Either way, it'll certainly continue the juggernaut that the 3DS is currently ruling on.
Re: Nintendo Download: 13th June (Europe)
Anyone have previous experience with getting their free Extra Games copy on the day of the title's release?
I'm wishfully hoping Nintendo will send my Animal Crossing code the exact moment it's released, hah.
Re: Review: Animal Crossing: New Leaf (3DS)
I love how Animal Crossing went from a Japan only obscure game to one of Nintendo's most successful franchises.
Really hoping this title will capsize the 3DS into more success. Much looking forward to grabbing my free copy.
Re: Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity Is Super Effective in UK Charts
Not planning on getting this one, but happy to see all these 3DS exclusives chart so highly the past few months.
Re: Review: California Super Sports (DSiWare)
Have you guys ever given a 0, out of interest?
Re: Senior EA Employee Caught Out Criticising Wii U On Twitter
Not to get fanboy-ish, but last I checked, the Wii outsold both the PS3 and XBOX360 in the last console war, both casual and hardcore gamers.
Why do game developers get this perception that Nintendo must go multi-format?
Re: CNN Money: Nintendo Is "Tone Deaf" To Industry Trends And Has "Lost Touch With Reality"
Oh sod off CNN.

Re: LEGO City Undercover: The Chase Begins Still Investigating the UK Top 10

Re: Nintendo Download: 9th May 2013 (Europe)
Woot, Ambassador updates will be complete!!
Re: Capcom Bringing More SNES Goodness To The Wii U Virtual Console
Would live to see some titles that previously missed out on the VC.
Just please don't be just every iteration of Street Fighter II.
Re: LEGO City Undercover: The Chase Begins Catches Up With the UK Top Ten
Interesting that the prequel, spin-off esque title charted higher than the proper game.
Much happy with the 3DS chart goodness
Re: 3DS Market Share For Early 2013 Shows Growth in North America and Europe
Loving that Fire Emblem is topping other European countries charts!!
Re: Satoru Iwata Confirms Nintendo's Plans To Bring More 3DS Third-Party Support To The West
I think Fantasy Life is a given what with the trademarks et all.
Re: Review: Working Dawgs: Rivet Retriever (DSiWare)
Another one goes to the dawgs.
Re: Fire Emblem: Awakening Battles to Third in UK Chart Debut
Fantastic news, when I get some spare cash, I'll be picking up my copy. Hope the popularity of this title will mean that Fire Emblem will have forever success on these shores.
Re: Review: LEGO City Undercover: The Chase Begins (3DS)
Ah. Skip this one for the time being.

Of course This is a series that I could play countless entries on.
Re: Bravely Default: Flying Fairy is Confirmed for the West
Nice one More JRPG goodness heading to the West.
Re: Nintendo to Pull the Plug on Several Online Wii Channels
I'd rather they not rid Netflix or iPlayer, as I still use those everyday.
Re: Rumour: Ni no Kuni Could Yet See A Western Release, According To Publisher Namco Bandai
Please. Make this happen.
Re: Nintendo Confirms Dr Kawashima’s Devilish Brain Training Delay
That's all fair enough.
But it's becoming a worrying habit and trend that publishers are making delays at the last minute.
Re: Luigi's Mansion 2 Still Scaring the UK Top 10
So happy, especially as this is selling well with Luigi's name. Well deserved for a truly fantastic title.
Re: Nintendo Download: 11th April 2013 (Europe)
No excuses not to get Gunman Clive at that price.
I'll be picking up Mutant Mudds now that it's got a temporary reduction.
Re: Nintendo of Europe Apologises for Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate Stock Shortage
Good to hear that it's sold well at least and is in demand. It's also still high up on the eShop charts.
Re: Nintendo Set To Host Mysterious 3DS Event In A Couple Of Weeks
Wishful thinking for another Nintendo Direct?
Re: Fantasy Life Trademark Appears in the U.S.
I think it would do well in the West
Re: LEGO City Undercover: The Chase Begins Hitting Europe On April 26th
Echo the same thoughts as everyone, loving the look of this, but will wait until the reviews are revealed.
Re: Launch of Professor Layton's Final Adventure Falls Below Series Heights
Those certainly aren't bad numbers, even if they haven't met previous games sales...
Re: Dad Hacks Donkey Kong So His Daughter Can Play As Pauline
Proof that Pauline could've been one of gaming's most famous and iconic mascots.
Re: Video: Professor Layton's Final Adventure Looks Suitably Epic
More Layton goodness!
Re: More Ace Attorney 5 Information Is On The Way
The popularity of Layton in all markets worldwide defeats any excuse why this should not be localised.
Re: Professor Layton And The Azran Legacies Release Date Solved For Japan
Where does this one fit, chronologically?
Re: Nintendo Download: 6th December 2012 (Europe)
Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion demo is also avaliable, as is the retail version.
Re: Australian Connection Ambassador Promotion Ends 21st November
I managed to get one person.
Re: Nintendo Download: 11th October 2012 (North America)
Seriously get Mario Golf if you never experienced it back in the day.
Utterly superb addition.
Re: Pikachu 3DS XL Coming to Europe "Later This Year"
I miss chubby Pika.

I'll just carry on playing my 3DS in public, thanks.
Re: Watch Ace Attorney 5's Latest TGS Trailer
Love it.
A Layton vs Ace Attorney trailer has also been released, showcasing the gameplay. Visual style is very similar to the one used in this new Ace Attorney entry.
Re: Feature: Nintendo's Celebrity Commercials - The Good, Bad and Cringeworthy
I seem to recall there being a Dragon Quest IX advert, with two girls at the helm. All they seemed to highlight were the outfits you could dress your character in, barely any mention of the RPG itself...
