@James That's... awful. However, I guess Nintendo had confidence that the graphics will be as good as their rivals. Still, that is a bit of a shame really...

So although it was shown at E3 last year for Wii U it's completely missing Wii U... so I'm guessing that footage we saw last year was probably for the 360/PS3? Unless it was footage from Metro 2033...

Might buy Rayman... but as for Sweet Memories Black Jack? Meh...

For a change, he doesn't have a shiny chin. His body was ready this time.

Just liked it... can't wait for E3. HYPE HYPE HYPE HYPE!

I remember playing this game when I was like 5 or 6 and completing it in about a week... doubt I could do that now. I think I still have the cartridge for it somewhere, shame I don't have a GBC any more though to actually play it...

But this will be a welcome addition to my collection!

That's always been there.

I see nothing new in NV either so I don't know what that update was for.

Nintendo Video update too? Interesting...

The GCN controller will always hold a special place in my heart, it's comfortable to hold and the buttons are all in easily accessible positions and you never have to strain your thumbs to reach buttons..

The Wii remote and Nunchuk combo will also be the bane for my thumbs, you have to slide your thumb down quite a way to reach some buttons, which is annoying in hectic FPS games, but the pointer controls made up for the out-dated dual analog.

Zelda is awesome because it's long, but there's long and than there's way too long!

Skyward Sword is an amazing game, but I have to sit down for 2-3 hours before I actually get anywhere in the storyline as your mainly going here, there then back to here again.

If you cut out the traveling time, mini-games, heart container finding, chit-chat etc. the game would probably be shorter.

But the problem is, it's not a "game" it's a massive world to explore. I find you only do the story if you want to, I can easily spend hours just finding new things to explore, but pushing the story takes a while.

@Aviator I see now... I see... I like the older model more, but I'm glad the Start and Select buttons have been moved.

I don't see much of a difference. e.e

Mario isn't important to kicking off consoles, but it sure enough helps when he's there. The 3DS didn't launch with a Mario game and it didn't do so well but it picked up when SM3DL and MK7 launched...

I want to see how Nintendo will respond with the launch of the Wii U though... Mario or no Mario? That is the question!

I might wait for it to drop in price, just not worth £40 it seems. Maybe when it's around £10 to £20.

It would be good for the rarer games... but with backwards compatibility I really see no point in a digital version. Maybe with the next handheld console we'll have DS games as digital titles...

But as of right now, you can find most games for 5-10 pound... how much could they possibly get via download?

EA... cashing in on the next big console, why am I not surprised?

If they don't make F-Zero on the 3DS now... well I've lost hope in humanity. They've skipped the Wii and DS with F-Zero, don't let it dodge 3DS too...

Oh dear... still has the kiddy games... which might mean shovelware, oh joy.

Awesome! Finally I can play Wuhu Mountain Loop without the glitch... kill all glitches!

Bird Mania... is... mine! What? It's £2 for a game, how anyone can sniff their nose up at that is obviously made of money.

Love 99 Bullets and still play it when I get some time, it's really addictive. So no, your not alone @BalrogtheMaster

I might pick it up but I'll keep my eye out for a review first in think.

Where else are you going to use this in a sport? To be honest I'd be scared to put it on the floor in case it gets broken... this was a stupid idea to begin with... why would you need to see where the ball is sitting?

I hope they bring back Kid Icarus sooner rather than later... be a bit foolish of them to spend lots of money rebooting a franchise for one game and then kill it off again for another 25 years.

I'm sure they have a game in the works, if not thinking about it, for Pit. I'd hate to see Kid Icarus die after such an amazing game... I haven't even played it yet, but I know by everything everyone's said about it, it must be truly outstanding.

£7.20? You're having a laugh! I was going to buy it, but now... no.

@TBD #74 Yeah well... his trolling has got to the point where I have to avoid his posts at all times. It was funny last year but now it's just down right annoying, you say you don't want trolls but yet you have the biggest one here... what kind of bs is that?!

Infinity Ward don't ever move over to a new console until it's been out for a few months or so, so I wouldn't expect to see it on the Wii U. Not to mention they hate Nintendo platforms because of lack of power which means it might be handed over to Treyarch to be ported over. And after their lack of fixing MW3 properly, I don't hold much hope for Treyarch any more.

To be honest though, Call of Duty is an overdone and over-milked series to begin with. However, there is no other FPS out there that can beat it, not even the re-visioned Goldeneye, sadly.

@XCWarrior Not at all... it just looks like junk because it doesn't appeal to me in the slightest. It looks very boring and very shallow...

This looks like junk...

I don't really care as long as we get discounts every week, if not Iwata is doing it wrong.

I'll have to wait how long to get a game?! I'm sticking to discs... blow that!

I hope it'll be quicker on the 3DS... however, I use Steam so I have a rough idea how long it takes to download a game. Why must you take over 10 hours to download?!? /me goes to sleep

I wish we could just swap the covers of the 3DS... change it from Aqua Blue to Purple... Red to Black... Blue to Green etc. rather than buying a whole new system...

@3DSLUIGI Sadly... I have to agree. In Mario Kart 7 its a direct transition... with this you can see the vehicle change from car to boat to plane... which makes it feel more complete and more awesome in some ways. But I'll have to pick this up as well now... the 3DS is bankrupting me.

Nothing for me at all this week... come on Nintendo, bring out some 3DSWare and some more VC games! D:

Sonic Kart 7 anyone?

I personally don't find UK a massive gaming country. We're just happy with our afternoon tea and crumpets... you Americans and your video games. Relax... eat crumpets and drink tea.

butters his crumpets and sips his tea while relaxing in a leather chair It's the British life for me Governor.

@ChosenOne25 This is true, very true. I just hope when retail copies drop down in price so do the digital copies. I'd hate to see a £15 retail version and the download version is still £30.

I prefer having physical copies as I know where they are and I can move them on. But you can't do this with digital copies, however I wouldn't mind the ease of keeping it on the HOME menu for rapid access. I just hope they'll keep both for some of us... best of both worlds.

I wouldn't want to pay the exact same amount as for the retail copy. And I'm guessing if you buy the packaged version you'll be able to download it for free... wouldn't this increase the likelihood of more pre-owned copies on the market?

I would love to have NSMB2 on my Home Menu at all times, but at what price? I know for a fact these games aren't going to be small and it looks like I'll have to pay the same amount as the retail version, except for maybe Amazon and Play.com.

Analysts know numbers.
Nintendo knows gaming.

Analysts don't know whats good for gaming, or anything for that matter, they just know numbers and base all their logic on numbers and sales figures. It's like a child telling a proffesional they're doing it wrong...

Cave Story... GO AWAY! I've seen the same game on so many platforms now its ridiculous... as soon as you buy one version they're immediately selling another version. For crying out loud... just stop!

Count me interested... not liking the price at the moment. But I'm sure it'll be good quality.

As Objection said, why not bring in card games? I would love to see a Pokemon rise out of the card and start battling... with the Kid Icarus: Uprising AR cards, I think Nintendo could expand on this and make it a lot better, maybe even have a whole card game within the system.

Be fun fighting and trading cards around schools again... but this with virtual reality.

There's so much more they could do with AR games, but it just depends on whether developers or Nintendo will continue with it. I would really like to see some more AR games available.

It's not even on Amazon... this is a poor decision by Squeenix... having it exclusive to two companies that almost went bust sounds like a ridiculous idea. Thankfully we still have a GAME shop down here... I hope. Still not thrilled having to pay £35...

@mattatron Comment of the day!

It looks very nice... but I'm not sure where I would put the thing.

Lol what? That's the weirdest thing I've seen in a long time.

I use to find some video games really scary, but not so much now. However I have to say even Resident Evil: The Mercenaries gives me the jumps when those guys with axes and chainsaws appear. It's that horrible sound you get when one's coming closer and it's always in the back of your head when your running away from one... creepy as heck.

I think its getting harder and harder to make a true horror game. You see most films, books and some games with horror and death, and I think overall this is numbing (if you wish) most people to the affects of horror titles. The only true horror games that I can find that would make my blood freeze are from past generations.

AR could work in the long run, but I think it'll have to mature a lot more before it becomes true horror quality. Angling the system right so you can read the card? No thanks, that takes me out of the horror zone and into the "oh, I'm in reality..."

The wait is too long... give me this game now... I beg of you n-Space and Squenix... give me this game early and I will love you forever. <3

I need to see more of this before I can make a decision. Maybe even the whole game in Link to the Past graphics?

I have no idea how the eShop is a "failure spree", it's got some really decent games out there, not to mention you have to give it a chance to pick up speed, I bet you anything that the eShop will start picking up in a few months from now, if not I will eat my own shoes. The devs just have to start getting out those VC games along with some decent 3DSWare.

There's some good 3DSWare titles, but some of them are lame sauce.

Did that DS Lite get mauled by a dog or something? It looks like it got chewed like a toy...

Not interested in any of these... what a shame. Might keep my eye on Block Factory but I'll definitely wait for a review.
