That is way too much money... You can get a new-in-box NES for that much and a clone with many more options as @JCnator mentioned for a fraction of the price. HD doesn't even matter when the graphics are pixelated.
Digital only? I have to disagree. 1. Nintendo consoles tend to have little to no storage space for downloaded games, forcing you to buy SD card(s) for this purpose. 2. There's just a satisfaction of having a physical copy of whatever game it is, and putting your game case on your shelf... Accessing it through digital means just isn't the same, at least not for me. 3. There's nothing wrong with physical media. I've never "fumbled" with cartridges and I genuinely have no idea what you're talking about.
The only problem with cartridges I've ever had is that the DS family ones are too small. GBA "Game Paks" seemed to have the right idea in terms of size-- small enough to be portable, not small enough to get lost all the time. If Nintendo is going to change their game distribution at all, in my opinion, they should increase the size of the cartridges.
Nintendo seems to know what they're doing. I have no problem with DLC as long as it's not, like Iwata said, holding part of the full game back so they get more money. New Super Luigi U is fair. Injustice: GAU is not. As long as Nintendo keeps it that way I'll be happy.
@SecondServing I love how you don't even sugar-coat it... I'm sorry, that was just funny. But aren't you not allowed to say anything discouraging? @DarkKirby FREAKIN' MOKUJIN! Come ON people...
I have never played any of the Cooking Mama games but my sisters are all over it despite hating the original Gardening Mama. I wonder if it's any good...
@SockoMario I couldn't agree with you more. I just can't get over that new Pac-Man design and his voice makes me want to run away... and hide in a hole... and die.
The controller pics look really cool, but with fruit they couldn't possibly be more boring. Who wants a picture of x-ray grapes in their living room...?
Meanwhile in America, we have these AMAZING and TOTALLY WORTH IT... Wii Remote wrist straps... I really hope this comes to the states though. I don't have 3D World but I love the soundtrack.

Re: Talking Point: Amazon Fire TV is an Early Warning for Console Heavyweights
I still have my Ouya plugged in. There are some pretty fun games for it, it's just that you have to wade through so much crap before finding them...
