Slow news day huh?

It would've done better if it wasn't so expensive, full price for a game with no cartridge, no box, no artwork and no manual. Really?! I can buy all that for £25.

Downloads need to be on par (or lower) than physical copies. I mean seriously, there is no middle man and no transport needed for the download option, only the development costs.

Oh and I get charged for the middle man, transport and development at £25... yeah... Nintendo, you need to find a new plan and quickly.

To be honest though, the internet is quicker at getting to the news while magazines take a month or so before they're released... I'm surprised gaming magazines have lasted this long really. It's a shame when old icons pass but life must go on and we have to change with it.

@WiiLovePeace We demand a patch! How dare they make a mistake like that! This is worse than the Maka Wuhu glitch, a grammatical error is unforgivable! We must hang the person who did this!

@PxelatedPixie Reads through your comment Obviously smarter than... nah better not...

@BenAV Mine's getting that way too... come on pay day! I want some money in my bank account! I can't eat or game without monies!

Two games to update, a demo to try out and some new songs to purchase... not a bad week but not overly great either.

Most games from Teyon are usually pretty terrible so I'm not hugely surprised by this.

Luigi >>> Mario

Luigi doesn't get enough love and yet I find him one of the better brothers to play as.

I have hopes, Nintendo hasn't failed us thus far, but we still have several years before Ninty might step back and say: "Y'know what, hold half of the game back and let's make them pay for the other half."

So far, I'm quite happy though. Square Enix's Thearhythm DLC has been fine at 90p a song and it's not exactly needed, because without it you still have a tonne of stuff to do but it's nice to have it there for when you want to play/learn a new Final Fantasy song.

Bundle it in with the 3DS XL already!

@kawka: "And you judge the framerate looking at a youtube video? Without acrually buying the game? clap clap clap..."

After reading that comment from the Head of Production for Gamelion Studio's, I'm definitely not being this game... bye bye.

This game looks really nice, the textures, the sound effects, looks like a very well polished game indeed. Can't wait to get this game in my hands... I just hope if it's short that it's got enough replay value, but if it's long I hope it has enough variety.

Wow... that's... dear god no! That's hideous! Not the artwork... the car, ewww!

So I'm paying full price for no game card or box? Right... whoever came up with that value for the download is obviously a bit of a douche.

I'm waiting for a review for Speed X 3D now... after watching the trailer on the eShop I'm feeling dubious.

I don't like the yellow underneath it... the blue looks fine, but I think it's missing something, maybe the blue should look more shiny or glossy...

"I've got legitimate cause to complain."

Might be legitimate, but we don't want to hear it...

On-topic, none of these cross-overs would work well in my opinion... they're all kinds of junk. I've never found cross-overs to work all that well in the first place except for maybe a few rare good ones... maybe? Either way, it has to appeal to both fans and if it doesn't do that well it's doomed to failure.

For example, I like Advance Wars, but I'm not a fan of WarioWare.

All of my friends don't give a dam about Madden so yeah... I don't think many Europeans care about American Football in the first place.

I'm going for gold!

Mobile gaming is crap at best. Even when it's free-to-play you get ad spam... oh joy...

When your playing a game on a dedicated games console then I know it'll last me longer than 5 minutes and it'll generally be a better and higher quality gaming experience.

@IAmNotWill There's still a few minors sitting around these places. :3

I've never had a problem with age restrictions, but surely it should be down to the parent as to whether the child is mature enough to play the game or not, but then again most parents these days are far too lazy to care...

Yes, this stops minors from buying an age restricted game, but it doesn't stop them from playing it...

This game doesn't look all that fantastic... I'll wait for some reviews before I throw away £2.70...

I obviously have no creativity... it got boring after a while, maybe I should pick it up again and get back to being creative with it.

It's like a battlefield in here... don't know why I'm surprised though, most news stories on here like these end up with raving lunatics...

I'm not surprised with their servers crashing, Japan probably wanted to see how long it would take to download their games.

How will selling digital copies second-hand work exactly? Everyone will get the game but at a cheaper price because of second-hand trading in...

@cfgk24 Because GAME are awesome

Just give me my 3DS MH for crying out loud, I've waited long enough!

No, simply because you're paying the same amount for just an icon, you might as well pay the same amount and get that new game smell, box and lovely box artwork. Until Nintendo coughs up and gives retail downloads a massive decrease in price, I'm sticking with the boxed version.

How come no sales for Europe? We've only had the anniversary deals and that was it... good grief Nintendo!

Well it's not surprising, I haven't heard about it at all... you'd think there would be more advertising about this, but I guess not.

I don't think I can see Nintendo dropping out, at least not yet. I think they still have a few more tricks up their sleeves somewhere. Miyamoto will eventually leave Nintendo, either through sickness or death, and someone is going to have to pick up where he left off, but I can't see anyone beating Miyamoto's creative mind or his video game creative talent.

Time will tell, but I think it'll be many years before Nintendo throws in the towel and goes software only.

It might be moving over to the Wii U I suppose... no point sticking around with the Wii now.

Michael Pachter again huh? Why am I not surprised? I think it's about time he sat down and shut up, it's bad enough he spreads his mouth all over the internet but when he has his own show on Gametrailers... that man needs to die!

I hope we'll eventually see one of these reports about James Newton. :3

@Miss_Birdo I meant as in the Wiimote and Nunhcuk use the same concept, aiming and buttons/control stick. Both work fine for me, however the mouse isn't as fluid though... obviously.

But dual analog can go burn in hell.

@kid3dizzy We're not hating on "the series for no reason", we actually do have a reason. My reason is simple, it's over-hyped every year, people praise it as the best game known to man and Activision milk it like crazy. CoD has done nothing new in years, why? Because it's a run of the mill FPS game. CoD is still working on the same formulae as the very first FPS, but with more glits and glam on top.

1:12 What the heck is up with Cap? o_O

It gives you a more immersive feeling, I'll agree with that but that's about it really. Other than that, it's near identical, you aim with the mouse and fiddle with many buttons on a keyboard. :3

But dual analog is just atrocious, how anyone can aim with a stick after using the Wii for many years I don't know. But if I have to, it'll take me many years to get out of it, but I doubt I'll buy another FPS if it's "traditional" controls only.

@WaveBoy How can you hate Keyboard and Mouse when the Wii Pointer and Nunchuk work on the same sort of concept?

What Ladybanshee said, Wii pointer + Nunchuk / keyboard + mouse >>>>>>>> dual analog. I'm sorry, but it's true facts.

So... Michael Pachter is talking out his [removed because of sexiness] again? Nothing new there.

@C-Olimar AAC's only for the DSi. :/

@Wilford111 The 3DS is showing promise with video content, but it's very few and far between. Although there is Netflix as @GameCube said, it's not available in Europe so Nintendo are missing out on a large amount of people in that area.

Lol, so this game is quite bad huh? Well obviously Zen is the way to go people!

There is no James Newton... I'm missing him more. D:

And Thomas, you have fun with your Sparkle Snapshots 3D!

I am going to miss you James, you're one of the best chaps on this site and to see you go is a bit of a bummer man. I hope everything goes well for you at Nintendo and have an even greater experience there than what you have had here.

You've done a fabulous job and I'm sure everyone will agree that you'll be sorely missed!

By the way, I'm keeping this photo... just look at that face!

@HADAA We're not telling you what to do at all, I personally find it really weird why you (not you, just people in general) would need something like this in the first place since the only way to getting better is via trial and error, not trial and then help, that's my point. Yes, there are people who struggle and get frustrated and then give up but then I ask myself, "Didn't you expect a challenge?"

I admit I've died enough times in DKCR and NSMBW that those two help things showed up, so I am in no way shape or form a "pro" I just simply walk back in and try again until I succeed.

@Brando67854321
You're just digging yourself a grave, you better shuddup while your behind.

As for La-Mulana, I was interested but after all this waiting I can't be bothered, it'll be good to see it finally released on WiiWare but I do hope they'll bring it over to the eShop at some point, I think it'll be a better platform for it with less constraints and stuffs.

@chiptoon I'm not quite sure what to make of that comment. o_O

Anyway... I am in no way amazing at video games, I'm just good at some and I got good by dealing with challenges and learning to get around them. This is one reason why I hate today's generation of gamers, most of them get way too much hand holding with games now a days, why can't you learn how to get around the challenge without getting molly cuddled? We had to grim and bear back in the Game Boy days, why can't you grim and bear it on your 3DS? :/

And what's even more weirder is this is NSMB2, y'know... the one with a bajillion coins? Which also means a bajillion lives? Why would you need white Racoon Mario when you have 99 lives to burn and then some?

Good grief I sound old... and I'm actually rather young. D:

It's neither sad news nor terrible news, it was created for Kid Icarus Uprising and only Kid Icarus Uprising. It closed when they had finished the game, the developers go back to the main company, job done.

Why do they always have to put in these guides? If you can't get past a difficult challenge then try a new way of getting around it, simple.

It was bad enough in NSMBW and DKCR. However, DKCR was admittedly quite hard in some areas than others, but why would you need a guide in Mario? I don't really understand that... in my mind it's probably one of the easier platformers out there you can play.
