Oh WOW. If you don't have Spin the Bottle: Bumpie's Party, then GET IT NOW. The game is amazing fun with friends, and you'll get all the content of the more expensive update for only $3.60. This is a must, y'all!
You can use the eshop funds of a US card if you're in Canada. Just temporarily swap your system info to United States. Eshop will have you agree to terms once again, and create a whole new USA eshop balance. You can swap back to Canada region with whatever your previous balance was when you're done.I have to do this all the time.
I think Club Nintendo(NA) site is messed up right now. I hit platinum status, and I get a pop-up message telling me to select my elite status gift... but when I go to redeem it says 'Sorry- this is for Platinum 2013 members only'. Even for the Gold gifts. Anyone else having this issue?

I know that's a meaty list, but out with the old and in with the new. Leaving this man characters behind will keep Brawl special and give us plenty of reasons to come back to it. Also, seeing the same size of character roster but this many open slots gives many chances for more surprises!
Love my Famicom Micro! I'll get mine charging today. Thanks kid! And since I just lost my ambassador 3DS the other day, I may as well trick myself too.
I think the 3D could really impress on that much of a bigger screen. Let's hope the range of vision for the effect is as good or better. Also, the system needs a less clumsy design as compared to the current model.
Rayman Legends is a great start. Give me that and another winning title from Nintendo (Pikmin, please), and it'll merit a day 1 purchase for the console.
The 3DS seems to have this under control, with relatively-major releases coming every month, (Mario Tennis, Theathrhythm, Kingdom Hearts, Epic Mickey) and even a Super Mario title (NSMB2) coming in the summer.
Terrible. What's with this slow trickle of Ambassador titles coming out? Nintendo really should release all 10 NES games in one shot, and all 10 GBA games the next week. Get them out of the way and start pushing new titles- these games are old news to a lot of us and using 20 weeks to set them all up will be a nightmare.
"For example, jumping: Maru will continue to rise in the air as long as you hold down the A button, meaning he essentially flies. He can even leave the screen." I was wondering WHY that was happening when I played this.
Also, I actually don't hate this game as much as 2/10 would imply. It's a pretty terrible game, but I enjoy it warts and all for $2.99.
This looks like so much stupid fun! I've always wanted a DS golf game where I could blow into the mic to nudge a ball into the hole by the tiniest amount. I guess screaming at DK is close to that.

Re: Club Nintendo Rewards Are Updated for December
Club Nintendo seems to not be deducting my coins? I just downloaded Lost Levels and Picross, my balance never changed from 550. Hmm.
Re: Nintendo of America Reminds Gamers of 20% Discount on eShop Cards at Best Buy
@yokokazuo I created two seperate accounts on my Wii U (two Miis with two different NNIDs). One for Canada, and one for USA and it works fine.
If 3DS doesn't allow more than one NNID, then I guess this work around would be invalid now.

Re: Talking Point: Pokémon X & Y's Grand Global Release Plan Has, Sadly, Been Undermined
@Nabbit101 Yeah, the game is coming to Canada still.
Re: Nintendo Direct: Wii U And 3DS Broadcast Coming Tomorrow
That FlipNote 3D trailer has been taunting me on the eShop for far too long.
Re: Shadow of the Eternals is Officially "On Hold"
They should just make a free PC text adventure at this point with the same story.
Re: Nintendo Reveals The 2013 Club Nintendo Elite Rewards
@LzQuacker Thanks. I emailed them. Glad I didn't wait for too long. I have a feeling those soundtracks will go very quick.

Re: Talking Point: Life Without Wii U Achievements

Re: Wii U Pre-Orders Selling Out in the U.S.
I preordered mine in the middle of the day on the first day it was available. Asked the sales person if I was #1... was told I was actually #5. Crazy.
Re: Nintendo: There's No Such Thing As Too Much Mario
New Super Mario Bros 2 contradicts this entirely.
Re: The Definitive Guide To Wii U
Wii TVii in Canada seems useless as we cannot have Hulu and there aren't any other TV services I know of. Too bad.
Re: Rumour: Nintendo Land May Not be Bundled With Wii U
I remember when Pictochat was advertised in stores as a separate game to buy. Let's just wait on this one...
Re: North America, Award Yourself This Kirby Medal
I just registered 600 coins worth of stuff to find out it's already out of stock. Oh well, I hit platinum for 2013 at least.
Re: Diamond Trust of London Now Available to Buy
Grabbed it just now- missed the Kickstarter by a day so I'm glad it's finally available.

Sakurai confirmed Groose to be playable.
Re: Rumour: Nintendo to Launch Wii U on 18th November in North America
@DarkEdi Actually, this happens all the time. Vita games hit shelves before the Vita system even this year.

@Tasuki Spot on.
Re: Feature: In Defence of Super Mario Sunshine
Love this game, bruises and all.
Re: New Super Mario Bros. 2 Typo Isn't So Golden
It's funny because the game was sloppily rushed...
Re: Mole Mania Burrows onto US eShop Tomorrow
MOLE MANIA!!! Muddy confirmed for Smash Bros 4.
Re: New Super Smash Bros. Is a 'Big Priority' for Namco
The Prince (Katamari),Lloyd (Tales), or Pac Man are the Namco entries I could see.

Re: North American Nintendo Direct Round-Up (22nd June)
One step closer to having The King of All Cosmos in Smash Bros.
Re: ShopTo Lists Wii U at Speculative £280
$300-$350 USD max is all I can tolerate. It isn't that powerful of a machine.

Re: Mario Kart 7 Update Available Now
About time! I may get back into this now that everyone won't be choosing Maka Wuhu!!
Re: Adventure Time on DS to be Released 'Late Fall'
Wow- lots of haters right out the gates. Calm down- it'll be great!
Re: Feature: Bargain Bin DS Games
I see Henry Hatsworth pretty often for $15USD or less. That game's incredible and overlooked.
Re: Review: Colors! 3D (eShop)
I'm pretty good at this application. My 'Doodle Party' is very near the all-time top list! It's on this week's best anyways..
Re: Review: Punch-Out!! Featuring Mr. Dream (3DS eShop / NES)
This is one of the best values for an NES game. It's meaty in length and always fun. Woo!

Re: Review: Mario Party 9 (Wii)
Sounds like someone stepped back and addressed the real gameplay problems of Mario Party. Awesome- just too bad it took over a decade.
Re: Pokémon Director Teases Something for Sunday
Pokemon Grey 3DS > RSE remakes.
Re: Review: Rhythm Heaven Fever (Wii)
That's weird- the review score doesn't say 10/10. I think that's a typo up there maybe you should fix it.
Re: Super Mario Bros. Ambassador Update Hits North America
Slow and steady... I guess...
Re: Review: Kirby's Block Ball (3DS Virtual Console / Game Boy)
This and Mole Mania need to come to North America. Then I don't care what happens.

Re: Unsheath Sakura Samurai: Art of the Sword on 2nd February
The gameplay looks like it could be way fun- but that must be the ugliest protagonist I've seen in a game in years. Awaiting a review!
Re: 3D Screenshots of Mutant Mudds Available
My most wanted 3DSware title. Take my money!
Re: Kid Icarus: Uprising Comes With This 3DS Stand
Doesn't the need for this confirm that the control scheme is no good? Two peripherals for a shooter? Let's just use buttons like normal people.
Re: Review: WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$! (3DS Virtual Console / Game Boy Advance)
This game deserves 10/10. Twisted deserves 11/10.
