You shouldn't be able to take people's money on the basis of a Wii U port then cast the port into doubt once you've received their money. Kickstarter is so dodgy...
It was £8, not 20, on amazon and tesco. Monster hunter was also £8 at tesco, while Luigis mansion was £8.50 on both. So that explains all their sales bumps.
Very happy for boxed collectors. I get why Nintendo blocks scanning in he box - many amino features are one time unlocks - but it's nice for certain collectors to be able to use amiibo in their own way.
So, it's 99seconds with awful graphics and fewer great tunes. Yawn. If anyone is looking for a good multiplayer game, I'd definitely recommend 99seconds. It's dirt cheap, goes up to 5 players and is so simple anyone can play it. The single player mode is an addictive score chaser as well.
@MitchVogel I'll let them off the hook for MM3D; it is a remake after all, but this is a year which included the release of MH4U, Codename: STEAM, Steamworld Heist and several several excellent JRPGs on 3DS. Not a single nomination is a joke.
What the hell was "innovative" about Mario Maker? And how can there be no (ZERO) 3DS nominees for best handheld/phone game? These video game awards are such populist trite. (Having said that I still can't get my head round how Splatoon beat all this year's bland sequels in the shooter and multiplayer categories in The Video Game Awards.)
@King47 As evidenced by this article, supply appears to be lower than demand. This is a disservice to people who would like to buy the game for its regular price.
If NoA really didn't want to publish the game, they just shouldn't have. It is a disservice to fans to produce so very few copies. Really poor behaviour from the company tbh. Another publisher could have stepped in and printed enough copies to satisfy demand.
That is a fair few discounts O.o I'll be getting Minecraft and the last couple Curve Digital games I don't yet own. Plus a few other discounts if I can afford it.
Woop woop! But pricier than I imagined (that's more than the other versions isn't it? I got the ps3 edition disc for under £15) but still great to see!
Big, big mistake to release Harvest December in one big, expensive chunk Circle. The main attraction of the series in Japan seemed to be its periodic cheap release of different parts. I hope it still sells; we need more visual novels.
@KO-Cub They could make a good world for the game. Great. It's not easy to go from making RPGs to FPS. Plus, Monolith are better doing their own, original thing than just making another sequel to a pre-established Nintendo franchise.
The fact Wii Fit U is 15th ahead of Deus Ex, Mass Effect, Rayman Legends, Lego City, Darksiders 2 and so many other games sums up so much that is wrong with Nintendo gamers.
I love Mario Tennis on the gameboy, found it so addictive as a kid. The only other one I've played is Power Tennis on the Wii, which was OK.
Interesting to note that the two games with RPG elements have a tiny proportion of the vote between them, despite Mario Tennis fans constantly whinging about the removal of RPG elements in modern MT games.
That Zelda tech demo all those E3s ago showed us what a realistic Zelda can look like on Wii U. This looks so poor in contrast. Having said that, I need a version of this with button controls, so I guess I'll just buy it. I hate you, Nintendo -_-
Another swordfighter... and it's not even a character remotely linked with Nintendo. We got him yet we're almost certainly not getting Isaac. Yay.
Nintendo are such mugs for giving free publicity to third parties disinterested in their consoles. No Street Fighter for Wii U, just one Metal Gear game on Nintendo since GameCube (a remake on 3DS to boot), no proper Final Fantasy since 6...
@Geonjaha The crafting system breaks the PC version for me. It's so damn tedious having to constantly look up recipes! Plus I can never get it to run at an acceptable frame rate on any PC I've had, though that's more my problem than the game's

Re: Animal Crossing amiibo Cards Series 3 Lands in Europe on 18th March
They seriously need to chill with these amiibo cards.

Re: Fire Emblem Fates New Nintendo 3DS XL Model Confirmed, Along With DLC Details
DLC: the Game.
Some seriously gross practices being undertaken by Nintendo here. Won't be buying.
Re: Video: Hyrule Warriors Legends Demonstration Shows Off Toon Link, Tetra and 'My Fairy' Mode
@allav866 amiibo support has been confirmed already, and is identical to that of the Wii U version.
Re: Bayonetta 2 to Have a Standalone North American Release on 19th February
Nice Nintendo give this game a go if you haven't tried it!

Re: Satoru Iwata to Receive Posthumous Lifetime Achievement Award at D.I.C.E.
Are those sensible nominations for best handheld game? Well I never...

In other words, development for Splatoon NX begins in January.
Re: Review: Radiohammer (3DS eShop)
Nice name drop of the excellent Rhythm Thief!
Hope this game comes to Europe soon

Decent sales for Rhythm Paradise! Pleeeeease localise!!!!

Re: Feature: Time to Vote for Your Nintendo Life Game of the Year Awards 2015
sigh just waiting for the inevitable win of an unnecessarily limited level editor over the best new idea Nintendo has had in over a decade.

I'll be getting Minecraft and the last couple Curve Digital games I don't yet own. Plus a few other discounts if I can afford it.
Re: Nintendo's Move To Smartphones Helped It Top Japan's Gaming Stock Market
Sad to see Konami do reasonably well. F*ck Konami.
Re: Minecraft Finally Digs Its Way Onto the Wii U eShop on 17th December
Woop woop! But pricier than I imagined (that's more than the other versions isn't it? I got the ps3 edition disc for under £15) but still great to see!
Re: Review: Johnny's Payday Panic (3DS eShop)
I thought this looked good, will pick it up soon. Good review.

Re: Xenoblade Director on What's Next for the Series and What Makes it So Popular
@Freeon-Leon I don't think they're suitably accomplished in the genre to create the next Metroid.
Re: Pokémon Rumble World Physical Retail Edition Heading to Europe and Australia
I'm assuming this will be £24.99 (like Chibi Robo), which isn't too bad. I may pick it up if it his £15.
Re: Two Wii U Hits Are Included in TIME's Top 10 Games of 2015
Arkham knight is on the list? What populist tripe xD
Re: Guide: The Best Black Friday Nintendo Deals in the UK
In what way are amiibo selling for their RRP a Black Friday deal? Especially since they have ALWAYS gone for RRP on Nintendo's store...
Re: Donkey Kong Champ Billy Mitchell Loses Legal Battle Against Regular Show Parody
How bloody miserable do you have to be to sue a children's cartoon over a parody? So glad he lost.
Re: Feature: Our Top 10 Wii U eShop Games - Third Anniversary Edition
Woops, forgot to vote for Shovel Knight! I have the physical version anyway so it doesn't matter...

@brandonbwii Oh, that's nice to hear, thanks.
Re: RCMADIAX Announces Skeasy, Expected to Release in Q1 2016
@Link41x I thought Blok Drop U was good. Too bad the dev released an unfinished game and then lied to us about his plans to finish it.
Re: Random: Sega And Nintendo Go To War Over Facial Hair
@Splatburst one day this has to happen!

This studio has gone so downhill :/
Re: Standalone Chibi-Robo amiibo Will Be Amazon Exclusive in North America, Releases 30th November
I have a feeling this will sell better than the game...

Re: Review: The Mysterious Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde (DSiWare)
Are you sure this costs 700 points? I can't recall a DSiWare game ever costing that amount - normally it's 200, 500, 800 or 1,000+
Re: Video: Learn a Little More About Chrono Trigger
Such a fantastic game.... still waiting for a Wii U VC release so I can play it again!
Re: Random: Check Out This Saxophone Cover of the Link's Awakening Overworld Theme
Remains to this day one of my favourite Zeldas, certainly my favourite handheld Zelda. This rendition of the overworld theme is brilliant.

Re: You Can't Alter The Chest Size Of Female Characters In The Western Version Of Xenoblade Chronicles X
So many women are unnable to have an avatar that represents them in-game? That's pretty sexist, Nintendo.
