If you want a good book about the Zelda-Series deals with philosophical themes read The Legend of Zelda & Philosophy. Feminism IS the only part I could agree with him there, apart from Tethra and Impa there are no real strong female main characters in the Zelda-Series. As is with other Nintendo-series, were the protagonists are mainly male.

But come on: The Gerudos are thieves and their "king" is the most evil thing you can imagin, but if that guy would have really played the game, he would have seen that they were only be able to overcome Ganon by joining forces with the Gerudos as well, showing that Ganondorf is just an evil individual, not an evil race altogether. And the Islamic depictions were also found in the Goron regions.

Deconstructing the worker as Marxist isn't really clever either. The plotwriters aimed for that impression. Any child can tell you that. Can you doom them for it? Not in my opinion. The game doesn't encourage you to whip the workers or enslave them. It's an NPC in the game. If you look up tzo the Master and want to become one yourself it's your decision, but if you listen to the workers you see they suffer from him so much that they want to be thieves in the future. The game shows you that "enslaving" your underlings leads to problems, so it also suggests it would be a better idea to treat them fairly. But the game leaves that up to the player. If you are a Marxist you probably only saw ways to "motivate" your workers by yelling at them, and that you should yell louder so they don't become thieves.

The animal part was just ridiculous. No real argumentation line from him there

In the end, Hochschartner is just a philosophy student who wants to depict how clever he is by quoting theories to analyze a game, like a snub who just discovered there are other languages and tries to throw in many fancy french words into every conversation he starts to make people around him think he's multicultural, educated and superior to anyone around him.

Loved DoReMi Fantasy. Now that it's 1€ cheaper than on WiiWare I might try it... Or maybe I wait for it to come to Wii U, so I can play it on the Gamepad AND on the TV.

Those screenshots are fake! The resolutions is way higher, it shows mouse arrows and the stars are shown on the level-layout, whereas they are shown on the Top Screen in the 3DS version

I still hopes fundings boost a lil more when actual bonusses are only a 100K away. But sadly I guess they won't reach more than 600K either... I would have wished them to reach 1.2M !

"Draw every day! Chuck Jones always said that every budding artist had 10,000 bad drawings blocking their pencil that had to come out first. Or at least something like that. It’s still the best advice I can give, because when you draw, and people see your draw, the opportunities begin to unfold. But you’ve got to keep creating and share your work, warts and all."

Inspiring, I always forget that rule xD

It is said it also removed a back on Mii Battle, where the game crashes if you recruit soldiers after you reached 9 999 999 soldiers.

@Buzkeel: As they are older than a year, you will get around 2 bucks at Gamestop (which is unfair, imho, as they sell those game for 10 bucks and up)

Try to sell them elsewhere. You should get way more for the Marios. Though I guess you won't get much for games like Iron man 2

@ShadJV What if they held back several copies on purpose, knowing they can ask for even more money once the first batch is sold?

It's really annoying that the GBA-Features are turned off...
And btw, the recent ebay price is something above 250$, 2000$ would be the signed copy...

I'm sorry but this review just feels like a big rant about how this game is similiar to the first. The new features are hardly pointed out, yet even things that were good about the first. I don't think that the game's difficulty is not only raised by more and more monsters, for example. It's more difficult because there are DIFFERENT monsters, that attack in unique ways. I think the rangers and the train made the game more dynamic and is a welcome change to a formula that worked pretty well in the first place. I never felt that a map felt just like the one before

@Melkaticox: Thanks for explaining. Actually, I'm interested in checking the series out, as there'll be the crossover Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem. Is DS a spin-off series, or is DS just a subtitle to indicate it's a remake? (Like the Dragon Quest Games got subtitles in Europe)? Or should I wait until SMT4 reaches Europe? I wnat to check out the main series first before dving into spinoffs

I'm confused... Isn't Overclocked a 3DS remake of that game? I saw that on amazon and gamestop, so it's available in Europe. Or is DS2 different than DS2 Overclocked?

I'm prediciting an altogether number of 724 Pokémon after Gen 5 (we have 649 now)

This game also disappears from the PAL-Shop on 30th November. It's a pity, although I'm way too old for this.

I guess it didn't work so well here sicne it's just in English, which is a killer for a pre-school game

Y U NO MENTION PEACH COSTUMES

I wonder if they'll also realese Bayonetta 1, for all those who don't have a PS or Xbox...
Like, as a Bonus-Disc or as a "VC-Game"

Why exactly don't you post the prices in € anymore? I always fall for it, thinking the pounds are Euros

Really hated it that I lost the shining stars in NSMB Wii. I didn't want to finish a level without getting all the star coins so I saw the Super Guide Block, but never touched it. Sadly, in NSMB Wii seeing it (by dieing 8 times in a row) was enough

Super Smash Bros. Extreme Beach Volleybrawl

...What? Somebody had to say it!

So the Moorhuhn is called Crazy Chicken in England? Bad Name choice imho

Zelda Williams

It would be great if they realease Pokémon Conquest. It's only available in the UK in Europe, but Downloads in all of Europe shouldn't be a problem, right?

Creative Contests ftw

I hope they also release MFC DX. It worked on PSP, so it should work even better with Wii U controls

I wonder if it gets a HD makeover, or if it's just an upscaled version of the 3DS title? Doesn't matter though, I'd buy it anyways.

I don't think this was planned as a Wario-Game, I just think they completely forgot Wario could star in a Jump'n'Run.

However, it would be really awesome if Wario was an unlockable character in this Game :3

I doubt the cameos will be in this game. As I can judge from the trailer, they are not an integral part of the story, so they could easily be replaced.

I had to review that smurfs game, which fetured full sequences of the movie. But none of them, not even the stills, showed a single glimpse of Neil Patrick Harris, although he was the Main Act (next to the smurfs). They mentioned the name of his role all the time in the narration, but no pictures were shown.

Of course this game has nothing to do with Wreck-It Ralph, but as you can see, you can skip licenses).

Wasn't this known already a month ago? By remastering I thought something like new Backgrounds or something like that...

Oh, that's a full game? I thought it was a download.

Why aren't there any € pricings in the info-box?

About the losses: All the Games are published by Irem, except for R-Type (TG-16) but I guess they are involved. The other 3 are TG-16 games, but they are from G-Mode, not Hudson.

The only Title that worries me is Military Madness. It's from Hudson, and I really see no point in removing WiiWare-Games...

Watchout: there's another list in the Wii Shop, which are due on March 14th!

The Games that were removed in America in Japan already:

• Bloody Wolf (TG-16)
• Drop Off (TG-16)
• Silent Debuggers (TG-16)

Isn't Cpt. Olimar married already?

Metroid also got one

I think it's ridiculous, that they removed half of the game :/

Of course it works good with games like Super Mario Galaxy, which mainly consists of shaders. But what's with games that have a lot of textures? I don't think they're that easy to upscale.

And honestly, there are only a few gems like SMG that I would like to replay in HD

Actually, I have a cover of MM5 that says european version...

Why should the Triforce be split after ALttP (its split in LoZ).

I also thought FS is at least one generation apart from FS (maybe connected with another Zelda title? Link and Zelda know each other already) but could go together well with FSA in the same generation (although its never clearly stated if FSA is).

Please make it available in Europe!

Playing 7 games a day for 10 hours might not be as satisfactory as it might sound to fans.

Puyo Puyo 2 had online in Japan? I bought it when it was only 500 points in Europe.

Damn you, Nintendo! If this was known 6 months ago, I would have bought it!

Actually I'm betting more on Mario Kart 7. I've had to much Mario's in the last few years, and they didn't really change much.

Don't mistake genre with franchise, Iwata-San. Dr. Kawashima was NOT a new Genre. The Atari 2600 already had educational Games. Nintendogs was NOT a new Genre. There already were Games in the "Toy" Genre. Nintendogs was just a far more developed Tamagotchi. Wii Fit is also NOT a new Genre.

I don't say those games were bad, they had a huge impact on the market.

I think it's way better than a 6. It's still my favourite Sonic game

Other Games have been removed, too? Which?

No mention of Banjo-Tooie? Shame on you!

and I've seen pinker boxes.

While the other one has more work put into it, this one conveys the message a lot better.

@turtlelink: Let's put it in Majora's Mask 3D then

According to GetMeOffTheMoon, that interview was known since September 2010, but was only translated now.
