This is pretty standard for their handheld consoles. For the most part, Nintendo drop support and focus on the next thing, however the previous gen handheld usually has a bit more life to it and there's usually a bit of overlap between the two handhelds.
...and usually the last big hit for the handheld, a Pokemon game, appears after the release of the new device (Pokemon Crystal for GBC/GBA, Emerald for GBA/DS, Black 2 / White 2 for DS/3DS).
I personally don't see anything wrong with the "duo" logo (why can't Nintendo be all lowercase?), however there's so much buzz over absolutely nothing at this point that I couldn't possibly believe a thing until we hear official word from Nintendo.
I think this is an excellent idea. Amiibo have been a huge success among those who already own Nintendo consoles...imagine if they opened up to a whole new market! It's also a great opportunity to give some of their lesser-known IPs some great exposure. I can also see them being integrated well within a free-to-play environment.
I thought it looked fairly good and that's today's presentation would lift people's opinions on it...clearly I was wrong, as it's being down-voted massively on YouTube and receiving its fair share of negative comments on other news sites. I really don't get the unconditional hate for this game...
Disappointing as I like to go physical when I can, and it was an extra thing to differentiate this from the previous virtual console releases. Glad however at its pricing. I'll still be picking this up as six Megaman games on the go can't be a bad thing.
I really wanted to like this game, but after several attempts at the Wii U and 3DS at a number of events in the UK, I'd been completely put off =/ It appears the reviews aren't doing much to help...

Re: Video: Fans Are Getting Bent Out Of Shape By The New Pokémon Sun And Moon Anime
I really, really, fail to see what's wrong with it.
In my opinion the hand-drawn-like style gives it a lot more character than the anime has had in the past decade or so. I really like it.

Re: Five More 3DS Games Will Join the European Nintendo Selects Range in June
@Fandabidozi Star Fox is Selects in Europe, which this article is about.
It's a shame that the US and Europe don't get the same selection really.

Re: GAME Confirms Shovel Knight amiibo
This all looks off to me. I've seen more convincing fake images, and a £5 deposit? Since when have GAME taken deposits for Amiibo?
@Alundra-1998 @Grumblevolcano
EDIT: My mistake! Strange that GAME take deposits on Amiibo and not actual games!
