@Arthedain Same! I want to play Revelations and MGS3 on the XL eventually

It's not like I'm tryin to be "stylin" when I am playing a handheld game lol. If it is too bulky I'll just play those games at home or places that are more clever for the XLCPP (which is not big deal at all). The abbreviation to end all abbreviations right there...

@19Robb92 That would definitely be great! I think the most likely out of those would be Super Mario Bros. 3 3D. I wouldn't hesitate in purchasing that. A few SNES 3D Classics on top of some new NES ones would be cool though

@19Robb92 You are my guy Robb! We've got the same ideas quite often. I bought 3 of those 3D Classics, I think they are really cool updates on classic games, even if it is just basically adding 3D. We've been clamoring for GBA titles for a while now, hopefully they eventually come (I think they will)

I have to agree with Nintendo on this debate. I've played my fair share of games on iPads and iPhones and they can't even hold the toilet paper for Reggie when he takes a dump a.k.a they are nowhere near as quality as console and handheld games (as noted by the price we pay for our games - a $40 game should be quite a bit better than a .99 cent game, and have a lot more depth and material involved)

I want the all White XL, but alas, I live in lowly United States ;( lol... If they do bring that White bundle here, I'll pony up for it even though I already own MK7. The digital copy would be just fine to own as well.

What! Lucky UK brothers, that White 3DS XL is what I dream of....

lmao what the heck is going on here. No sound and then the whole thing goes kaput

@19Robb92 Does Europe not have Swapnote? That is pretty weak Robb, I don't use it often but it is pretty clever when I need to ask a friend on 3DS a not too important question or tell them something rather non-urgent

The truth from Nintendo: Release this to make a little money (I don't mean that the "New" series are bad games, by any means. Quite the contrary, they are quite solid) then create the 3D Mario that the big Nintendo fans desire. The 2D Mario's sell better, their reasoning is understandable. They can use the extra time to fully grasp the Wii U's strengths and whatnots as well. Having said that, I am actually looking forward to this game, I know it will be hours and hours of fun.

@ShadJV Of course it adds up lol, but they are not going to give you 3 quality levels for a dollar. Your thoughts are totally unrealistic on this issue. It is quite funny seeing people mad and at odds over a measly dollar. HUNDREDS you say? Like it is some out of this world notion? I guarantee there are many people who will play these levels or the levels currently in the game that much, so take those capital letters elsewhere bro! haha 1 mil coins is a lot of coins to collect, levels will be played many, many times

@ShadJV Exactly. Nintendo is not losing sleep over anyones thoughts on the price lol. People will buy these just how they are. As I said, I'll take one Mario level over a McDouble fatty maker any day. I agree though Erica (who doesn't?) $1.50 would be a great price. What I have said a few days ago would be to discount the package. For example $2.50 for each pack but $6 for all three packs. Good idea, I know lol. Ok Shad, you go play a .99 cent game 100's of times, that is your choice. Enjoy! As I said, Nintendo is not losing sleep over you

@ShadJV Right? Denpa Men is a lot of fun, but I don't know if all AR games can bring that same enjoyment that DM does

@Erica_Hartmann I make that much opening my eyes every morning, seriously. $2.50 is chump change, anyone can make that much money. Doesn't matter if you are 5 yrs old or 105 yrs old, anyone can make a few bucks if they really want to. You can choose to get an awful McD's sandwich or something of the likes with that $2.50, or acquire some real quality NSMB levels that you can replay 100's of times. Really ... Not as bad of a deal as some of you are making it out to be. Knock off 50 cents and I bet the complaining would be cut in half... over 50 cents. It's sad. Really

Never have played Cave Story and this edition sounds really solid so I think I'll get that, but my main download today is the NSMB2 DLC! I have enjoyed that game a lot more than I thought I would, and these DLC packs will only increase that enjoyment.

@Aviator Quite the bold statement lol

Seems like faith in the 3DS is quickly rising, across all regions

@BenAV That is certainly a bummer. NA gets treated pretty well (not nearly as well as Japan) but that is where Nintendo was formed, so I can understand that. I still wish there was a way every region could get every game. Digital releases really helps that, I think. I've been interested in this game since the Nintendo Power sneak peak way back when, so good looking out NL

I'm going to have to pick this up sometime this month or wait until December, we will see how the budget is. November is a crazy month for Nintendo fans. Crazy=Expensive

On the fence with this particular game. I always enjoyed Castelvania but Lords of Shadows is not quite my cup of tea. I want to like this game so much, but I'm not sure that I am going to. That is what places like NL are here for, though! Helping me decipher the unknown

Not my style, but this game does look awesome, I must say!

Looks like we (English speaking territories like the US and my brothers in the UK) won't be getting this Nintendo Direct until next year. Oh well I guess, Paper Mario: Sticker Star and Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion should hold my handheld needs over until next year.

If those of us who are getting a system at launch are fully impressed and get our thoughts out on the web, I think that will play a big part in getting the system noticed in North America (and all over the world). Of course positive word of mouth is possibly the biggest ad campaign Nintendo can hope for, so I'll be sure to let it be known if I am having fun (and I doubt the Wii U will be anything but fun)

@luminalace Nov. 18th for me Once the Wii U comes out it'd be neat to get a NL group together as Wii U friends. We can match those with similar tastes and whatnot. All you people seem (for the most part) nice and intelligent from my time here so far... so far

I'll reserve the hype or negativity until I actually get my hands on it, but from what I have read it is going to be different, in a good way.

Pilotwings Resort is the only game I don't have from that list, but I would certainly download it for $15-$20. I just didn't think it was worth the full price when the system launched, but I still would like it

You have stated the Black 3DS XL version will be $240, I believe this to be incorrect. The 3DSXL retails for $200 in North America. The conversion might equal $240, but they cut the US a little break. The package deals might be $240, but the Black 3DS XL will be $200 by itself, unless they want another uproar on the cost. I did not know black paint was $40 more expensive than red or blue

I ask them to add GBA games every time I fill out a VC survey on Club Nintendo, so I am sure they certainly hear it from the North American crowd as well as from everyone else. If people want to buy it and it can be done, why not do it? I hope that this is the case, the GBA had some really awesome games. More GBC games too, please. LoZ: Oracle of Ages/Seasons would be amazing

Perhaps adding a "DLC" section to the eShop for the NSMB2 packages...

@RyanO Reggie is enjoying the beautiful trees of Redmond, Washington for his view at work. Not bad, not bad at all

Those who say they are too expensive: What realistic price point would you prefer? I suppose $1.99, but then we are complaining about .50 cents. C'mon. I am not saying they should raid our funds like the taxman, but the price isn't bad. Perhaps a complete package discount would be nice, like getting all three for $6

I was a bit at odds when Nintendo didn't invite me to the Chicago Wii U Experience, seeing how I spend quite a few dollars on their products. With Nintendo Directs and other online videos and write-ups though, at least I can get an idea of what to expect. I'd love to get my hands on that Gamepad to see what it's like before I spend hours playing it on Nov. 18th, but I suppose I'll have to wait. I want to attend a gaming expo next year, I'm making it a goal. Perhaps I can swindle my way to E3 and use my small town media credentials... haha

@espinozac7 MSRP $59.99... About $10 more than I'd like to spend, but oh well.

@skyluigi Petit Computer has so much potential, but unless you know how to program in BASIC it's useless. It doesn't teach you how to do so, which would have been great. I could take a class on BASIC but, it's not used very much anymore. Having said that, this game looks great! Downloading in a few hours when it's on the NA eShop. This is a great help for the game NL, good looking out!

It sounds like a new, interesting twist on the RPG dungeon crawling genre... Seems worthy to me. Thanks NL!

@rjejr On the 3DS you can just take the available funs right off your credit/debit card. It is easier than pie. The Wii points thing was kind of ridiculous, no doubt, but the 3DS has fixed that. Real money, and you can take the exact price of the application from your real card

I was very impressed with the Denpa Men, although I'd like to pay a few bucks less. Oh well, I'm glad they brought the game to NA in the first place. Beggars can't be choosers I suppose, right?

The 18th could be an expensive day... I might have to wait until December for this. Looks awesome though

If some friends want to pick up MH3 for the Wii U, I'd think about getting it. The online is certainly a good time. I'll probably just wait for MH4 though, if that ever happens in the wild West. I'm not a die hard MH fan, but the game is pretty fun and challenging

Not too in love with the Mega Man that is available in the NA 3DS VC right now, but I've definitely been wanting to get an NES version... So bring it on already Nintendo!

@Samholy We're happy for you! Having said that, maybe if you didn't have the pests that are known as kids you could afford it sarcasm... but really, kids are the murderers of dreams

I'll be my own judge on this matter, thank you very much. Hopefully the local game store will have one on display

The commercial was pretty hilarious actually... for a commercial. My mother would be the queen of this game! I'm a child of the eighties, the late eighties... but I can't stand the music haha

Super Mario, Donkey Kong, and The Legend of Zelda seem to be my favorite Nintendo series, but I enjoy mostly all of them.... mostly. Including Animal Crossing (and I am a man, baby!) The Japanese don't like to do barrel rolls though, do they? Not all of the games are great, but I've always loved StarFox as well. I'm just kidding Japanese people, I love you even if you don't do barrel rolls and like jet fighting animal people. Without you their would be no Nintendo

The interviewer should have said to the Vita owners own a PS3 comment "While yes, that is for the majority true, every PS3 owner does not necessarily have a Vita. In fact, I would say a majority of PS3 owners do not have a Vita"... Which is a fact. Less than 50% of PS3 owners own a Vita as well, while 100% of Wii U owners have the GamePad. It's a rather simple argument, and not hard to make Sony eat those words. Look, I have a PS3 and love it, but Sony tries too hard to be like Nintendo. They copy off them all the time. ALL OF THE TIME. Look at All Stars Battle Royal = Smash Bros. ripoff. It is sad. If every company was like Nintendo and was creative and innovative and went their own way, the gaming world would be a better place. Again, I am not a Sony hater, but I can see the truth for what it really is

Looks pretty good actually. I'd consider buying it, for sure

Hmmm o_0 Seems like the best premise for the Layton series is coming with this particular entry. I love how the Layton games are all archaeological in nature. He is like a sophisticated Indiana Jones

If this came West, I'd get it for sure. Chew on that Level-5!

I think I'd drop 150 on this... 150 Nintendo coins, that is

Isn't the Japanese term "denpa" basically equivalent to "misanthrope"? Totally my type of game! I hate people, and they certainly give me weird looks when I tell them I can see radio men flying around my head

To answer your question, yes indeed. Hopefully ZombiU stands apart from the typical FPS
