I never understood why so many Americans were mad over the lack of a retail version of this since Code of Princess had a box in NA while it was digital only in Europe, but Europeans never complained about the lack of a physical release of Code of Princess for their region.
This make me wonder how long the online for 3DS and Wii U games will last after Nintendo's 9th gen handheld and home console hit the shelves, since those and future Nintendo devices will run on the same "Nintendo Network" and the fact that the 3DS and Wii U are more online reliant than the Wii and DS were.
I think it would be a good idea to have this included in bundles as a bonus with bundles that include a bigger game like Mario Kart 8, Super Smash Bros, etc.
@WaveBoy The Japanese young inoccent Nintendo Wii loving squirts (the region this bundle is being made for) have evolved into tweens playing skimpy outfit moe games on their 3DSes, PS3s, PSPs, and PS Vitas.
I played Aladdin on both Genesis and Game Boy back then, the Game Boy version was an almost direct port of the Genesis/MD version which I originally found odd at first because I thought Sega did the Genesis version at the time but they actually didn't. Aladdin was also the third best selling Genesis game only behind Sonic 1 and 2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_video_games#Sega_Genesis.2FMega_Drive
This is good, in fact, the only Wii upcoming release listed on GameFAQs for North America right now is a dual pack of two already released games so even Disney, Dreamworks, etc are moving on to the Wii U.
I have the original Game Boy Color cartridge for SMB Deluxe and I have the original NES Super Mario Bros on my 3DS so I don't need this but I wish NA had at least gotten a different game for a gift.
@Philip_J_Reed Not really, I have Mr. Driller DTYD, Photo Dojo, Four Swords, Petit Computer, Inchworm Animation, Rhythm Core Alpha 2, and Animal Crossing Clock (actually has a point since the 3DS doesn't have an alarm clock, heh).
The reason they did the Genesis/MD version instead of the arcade version is because M2 created a virtual Genesis/MD dev kit tempalate that makes Genesis/MD games much easier to port over.

Re: The 3DS Celebrates Its Third Birthday in Japan
@Frank90 Hopefully at least 3 more, Nintendo also supports their current handhelds for 2 more years after the next one comes out.

Re: The Year of Luigi Officially Ends on 18th March
@Jazzer94 What was wrong? I think Nintendo did fine with it.
Re: The Year of Luigi Officially Ends on 18th March
@ntabruzzo True, NES Remix 2 with Super Luigi Bros doesn't come out until late April.
Re: The Year of Luigi Officially Ends on 18th March
I'm surprised they're not closing it off with a Wii U eShop version of Luigi's Mansion 1.
Re: Nintendo Download: 20th February (Europe)
This is the first time Europe's getting Renegade
Re: Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed Finally Hitting the Track in Japan
Not a bad time to release, it's like saying "You love Mario Kart 8 want more courses? Give Sonic Racing Transformed a go as well!"
Re: Radirgy De Gojaru Website Shows Off The Firepower Behind The 3DS eShop Exclusive Blaster

@Jazzer94 I mean the big February Direct
Re: Pokémon Bank Goes Live in Europe and Australia
I'm guessing the North American release will be in conjunction with a Direct
Re: Rumour: Disney Infinity 2 Coming To Wii U, But Not Wii
This is good, in fact, the only Wii upcoming release listed on GameFAQs for North America right now is a dual pack of two already released games so even Disney, Dreamworks, etc are moving on to the Wii U.
Re: Capcom Reportedly Planning Western Release of Monster Hunter Frontier G
I'm guessing all the versions will get localized then if it does
Re: '90s Arcade Racer Targeting Mid-2014 Release, With 60fps at 720p
I personally never cared for "FPS" or "p" much, I rarely actually notice when a game is only 30FPS

I already bought Mighty Switch Force: Hyper Drive Edition when I got my Wii U at launch, I will buy all of the other 4 though.
Re: Preview: Japanese Gamers Get Their Free Super Mario Bros. Deluxe Download
Oddly, I just noticed that Super Mario Bros. Deluxe wasn't released in Japan originally.
Re: Preview: Japanese Gamers Get Their Free Super Mario Bros. Deluxe Download
@Metroidlink True, I'd just give my download code to someone else.
Re: Preview: Japanese Gamers Get Their Free Super Mario Bros. Deluxe Download
I have the original Game Boy Color cartridge for SMB Deluxe and I have the original NES Super Mario Bros on my 3DS so I don't need this but I wish NA had at least gotten a different game for a gift.

Re: Wii U Sales Jump Again as Nintendo Maintains Hardware Dominance in Japan
I hope they get the games they're missing like Scribblenauts Unlimited, Mighty Switch Force HD, and Ducktales because of this.

Re: Nintendo Confirms That Smash Bros. Isn't Lined Up for Spring
That's fine, I'll just play Mario Kart 8 until then.
Re: Review: 3D Altered Beast (3DS eShop)
The reason they did the Genesis/MD version instead of the arcade version is because M2 created a virtual Genesis/MD dev kit tempalate that makes Genesis/MD games much easier to port over.
