I confirm that my.nintendo.com is working here in Italy too. Still no Miitomo on the app store at this time.

I have already purchased Super mario world on the Wii U, I'd like to play it on my 3DS but there's no way I'm not going to buy it again..

Another horrible week for Nintendo downloads IMHO.

@G0dlike She has a different dress and a slightly -SLIGHTLY- different pose, that's all. The first edition was the "Winter" version of Isabelle, while this might be the spring (or summer) version of Isabelle, I suppose..

AAARGH! Still no pelly (or polly)

I still heartly reccomend "The history of Nintendo", it's a collection of three books written by the french author Florent Gorges that describe the history of Nintendo from the beginning till the late eighties. It's a very pleasant reading with lots of illustrations and photos and you can find them on Amazon.

I just checked. It's not yet available for iOS here in Italy, don't know about other european countries...
There's only a fake version made by a guy with a french-sounding name

LBX in digital delivery costs exactly as the physical release available for pre-order on Amazon... :/

Sexy!

Yoshi WW is actually 44€ boxed on Amazon.it. Honestly I don't think that saving 4€ is worth it in this case.

I suppose that allowing voice chat while adding an option to disable it at will (or to leave it enabled only for players in your friend list) was out of the question... 9____9

Nintendo NX should have its own OS, BUT they should also allow to run Android games and applications through a sandbox, so the Android stuff is always set apart from the Nintendo games (to be more clear, no android exploits should be possible in this way... at least in theory)

This is the same approach used by Blackberry first with their "Playbook" tablet, and then with their new line of mobile phones. All their new hardware has BBOS but they can still run android apps and games in a sandbox environment (and download new stuff via Amazon App Store).

No Mac OS X version = No buy

@BulbasaurusRex Nintendo still refuses to sell GBA titles for the 3DS, and the market price for many used cartridges is keeped insanely high on purpose.. 70 bucks for an used Final Fantasy VI advance for example, it's the lowest price I found yesterday on eBay.
Well, yes... for these reasons and some others I'm taking the pirate way...

I just purchased one of those babies. I think that the real problem is not finding used consoles, but finding used cartridges for a decent price. Yes, you can find plenty of cartridges for 5-10$, but at least where I live some of the games I'd like to buy are really expensive: 30-35$ for a used Final Fantasy VI GBA cartridge for example.

I want Lego Game of thrones !

IMHO Nintendo should do with its VC titles the same thing Netflix is doing with movies and tv series: they should offer them on a subscription model, where you pay 5$-10$ and you have full access to every Nintendo game published on NES-SNES-N64 and GC (minus the games based on other characters and for which its license is already expired, like "Popeye"); and someone should be able to access those titles on both Wii U and 3DS with the same account.

IMHO: 5$ per month (or 49.99$ / year) to access NES, SNES, Gameboy mono and color games, and an additional 5$ per month (or 99.99$ per year) to access N64, Gamecube and the DS titles.

You know, this is exactly the reason why Ganondorf hates the internet...

...it has too many links ^_____^

I'm hoping that Nintendo will also extend this functionality to the New 3DS sooner or later

Waverace 64 next, please ^____^
Uh! And 1080° Snowboarding too if you don't mind ^_______^

Super Metroid 3D would be cool

No discount at launch, no buy

Faceplates are nice, but personally I'd never swap a 3DS XL for a standard-sized 3DS.

IMHO Nintendo should copy the same model that blackberry is using right now:

proprietary hardware + proprietary OS

** BUT **

A virtual environment that could run any Android application / game inside a sandbox.

So you could have the best of both words: games and app downloaded from the Google App Store, plus original games made by Nintendo and third parties that cannot be pirated easily and ported to other android devices

@LinkSword I live in Italy and got the email from the local headquarters of NOE and in some guys got it in Netherlands, so I can assure you that it's not an UK-only offer

@clvr Io invece sono tristissimo. Volevo aspettare il giorno in cui sarebbe uscito il modello XL ma questa email mi ha messo addosso un sacco di dubbi ;____;

I'm really sad. I was prepared to wait for the white XL edition, but now this email got me into troubles. I don't know what to do anymore ;_____;

I... MUST... RESIST... ORDERING...

I've got the email from Nintendo and I live in Italy. I've never been in the ambassador program before.

Unfortunately I'm not going to buy it, I'm so old and half-blind and the screens on the handheld are so tiny, so I'll have to wait for the XL model. ;______;

@Spanjard Don't hold your breath. It has been available for ages on north american PS3s and AFAIK it's still not available on the european PSN.

@whodatninja I can only speak about what happens in Italy, well here a console without FIFA or PES is a dead console, and this is the ugly truth. The funny thing is that when you take a look at the charts of the best-selling games, in the top five there are always... ALWAYS... in any given moment of the year at least one game from the "Call of duty" franchise and one game from the "FIFA" franchise; most often the top five includes 4 titles from these two franchises equally divided between the PS3 and the Xbox 360 version.
And I guess that in many other european countries it's more or less the same...

IMHO They should port this game on the 3DS too. Heck, if this is going to be published on the Dreamcast too, the 3DS should have enough horsepower to handle it.

I already got Guacamelee! for free on the PS3 with my Playstation Plus subscription, so I pass.

I hope it'll be fun to play. I don't play a football manager sim since the days of "Player Manager" on the Amiga ^_____^

> [...] gaming was an expensive hobby [...]

gaming STILL IS an expensive hobby ^____^

Aside the three - IMHO overpriced - GBA games, this week of updates in EU is even worser than the usual.

Next title in the series: POWERDRIFT 3D... Pretty pleaaaaaaaase!!! ^_______^

Well, actually when you turn Zelda into a 2D platformed, it resembles Wonder boy in monster land

Nice name for a game, it's obviously a pun that recalls another famous japanese game named "Kiki kaikai". In the US you probably know this Taito arcade game as "Pocky & Rocky". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KiKi_KaiKai

"Aeternoblade" sounds like the name of a cookware set

For me this is another bad week for Nintendo downloadables...

I guess that if I can't have Metal slug, then Contra: TAW is definitely better than nothing.

Italy here. Still not working on both 3DS and Wii U at the moment.
I'm start wondering if Nintendo servers have been hacked or if there was an attempt and they're trying to put a patch on it, just as like as what happened on the Playstation Network some time ago.

Gotta catch 'em all-in

Skies of arcadia II by Atlus ?

No online, no party

P&D is not even available on the app store in Italy, and probably not even in the rest of Europe.
I guess I'll have to stick with Candy crush for another bit...

It's another "meh" week for me.

I don't know if this is a problem of the poor italian DSL lines, but I have personally experienced a lot of lag on every match and i have also heard the same thing from other users on IGN Italia: there's a lot of lag when you play WSC: TENNIS online, so much that it's almost unplayable.

No online, no party

Hmmm, gone from the Nintendo club and IMHO they're likely going to re-appear on eBay for astronomical prices
