It must be an unintended side effect. I cannot see Nintendo wanting people hopping around in a racing game as it looks stupid and does not correlate with Nintendo's statements of trying make mk8 the best driving game with more balance. I personally will not use it and will make it my goal to target anyone using this cheat until it is patched.

I want to play the game first before I start thinking about what else I would like to have in the game.

While the gamepad isn't necessary imo, neither is having a game system and I really like the gamepad so..... =). It's simply conveniences gives the games a better feel. I hope they continue to develop for it until it grows on people more.

I guess I'm in the minority, but if it's not on the Wii U I won't be playing it, if it's on the Wii U I will buy day 1. Too bad they screwed up the potential of MH3U game on the Wii U with a brutal demo which deterred a lot of day 1 buyers, myself included. I know people who cancelled pre-orders after playing the demo! I got it later and which I had bought it months prior.

I would start eating or at least buying McDonalds for these if they came to Canada!

I won't be downloading anything until 30 May by the looks of it. =)

Are we ever going to get interesting VC games again? I haven't bought a VC game since November!

Whining instead of working. If it was easy, everyone would be successful. Unfortunately there aren't enough silver spoons for all these guys.

Was going to get this, but put off by being charged 17%. Total BS. I paid 12% to exchange some Canadian to US, if this is start of something, Nintendo can say goodbye to my e-dollars as I was buying eshop to support them, I can get cheaper at brick and mortar.

Oh boo who, he didn't get recognition from his employer. Like that isn't the majorities reality? Holding a grudge is what's unprofessional. Move on and feel lucky for what he can do. What a loser.

@ntabruzzo I get that. I would have liked that choice here! The Wii U is doing ok in Japan, so Iwata knows what he's doing there!

@Interneto They have so many bundles in Japan. Not sure what the strategy is.

Nice to see Just Dance coming down to the price you could get it retail since July around here. If they would match the prices of physical copies, I would consider buying them digitally. Like with MH3U

Bundle overload.

@SirQuincealot Yes, I have seen eshop cards in store, they just don't advertise for some reason.

@SuperMarioBros3 If you find it in Canada, please let me know.

@Zach777 I know you're not joking and fail to understand why people don't realize these under handed tactics are occurring. Kudo's to you for posting this and putting up with people who disbelieve. Nintendo does not play the game the way the gluttonous industry does and that's hurting them, but I won't own anything other than a Wii U and I may get few games, but at least the games I get are all quality titles with great replay value. I am disappointed with what is happening to the Wii U, but not so naive to not realize Nintendo's failures have amplified the negative press proliferated by it's competitor's. Nintendo needs to figure out how to become less Japanese in it's PR, but maintain this part of their culture which enables them to make amazing games!

Was mildly interested in this title until I heard how they were not implementing the gamepad in any capacity. It looks great though and I hope the fans of DK have a great time playing it!

I was going to buy this game and didn't after the horrible demo. Got it now and wow, it's awesome. I really enjoy the strong Japanese feel of it in the music and design.

@ThomasBW84 Thanks Thomas, after answering my question, I clicked on the links, saw the answer there and edited my post. Thank you for taking the time to explain, I'm not used to being spoon fed answers... long day, lol.

This is tempting... there are virtually no copies in retail stores around here in Canada.

I have a backlog right now which will require some promo's to get me spending prior to MK8.

Can hardly wait for Project Cars or some //F1 sim type game. I like NFSMW, but I want something with races and online capability.

@aaronsullivan I'm not being sarcastic and I understand your points. What I am saying is short is the gaming industry is one of the biggest richest industries which a huge potential to make large amounts of cash... Of course it's hard to be successful, if it was easy everyone would do it. The way you say you love making games, but it's tricky to make money is one good way to say that and I wish you success to reward you for your hard work, but these whining gaming industry members who try to blame others for their misfortune and take part in bashing Nintendo, because Nintendo is different and doesn't do things like everyone else to make it easy for them.... I have no patience for those whiners. Then they should go work as something else. I have a close relationship with Japanese, I go to Japan many times for weeks on end. The way Nintendo is talked about is often borderline or racist by how it propagates stereotypes as facts. I deal with large and small Japanese business's. I really have a hard time believing Nintendo conducts business the way described in this article and other mainstream articles where people love to bash Nintendo. Like suggesting they can't speak in english etc... I just don't buy it and I'm at a point in my life where unless people can provide evidence to counter facts I have experienced, then I call BS. Sorry for the rant, but this isn't just about the gaming industry to me. The comments made by this spineless developer are inappropriate and I feel based in the cowardly fact knowing that Nintendo and many Japanese will not stand up for themselves. They still prescribe to the idea of not responding to BS in the belief defending themselves will only further grow the negative beast. They do not realize we live in a time where negativity rules with the masses and staying silent is an admission of guilt.

Oh no, making tens of millions of dollars is hard to do. That gaming industry has it so hard..... I guess when you have a job considered a dream job to many, you take it for granted.

@webhead @DarkwingLz I get it. I think I get your point of view, because he is the guy in charge and taking responsibility is the main part of his job imo, but in a Japanese company that's most likely all he does. Act as a figure head for the locals, but doesn't likely partake in any important decisions. @Of_Folsense hilarious comment.

I see many people blaming Reggie for the poor line up of releases on the VC and other things like Xenoblade etc not coming to NA, but unless Nintendo runs their operation different than every other Japanese company I have dealt with at a management level, Reggie has no input into this and is nothing more than a figure head for the locals. I have no opinion on Reggie either way and don't care to have a personal relationship with him or his successor, but I do think people over estimate his input into these decisions.

Speechless.....

Well, not surprised Nintendo is not on the ball and Wii Sports club isn't free yet.

I got Star Wars Pinball for 4.99. It's pretty good!

Tried going on my Wii U recently and now everything is down for me. Before it was just the eshop. It's good news demand has increased, but veiled by the all to commonly improperly managed IT.

@OptometristLime I can understand people being disappointed not to get a free gift and recognition, but I like it how Nintendo does not let them stop doing a good thing and I hope they continue to do things like this in the future. It's these little things that just add to their lore in my books. I had a problem with EA when I owned a SNES and EA wouldn't help me. I called Nintendo support and they got a high level manager at EA to call me and settle the issue. Can you believe it? I will never forget that and that was 20 years ago.

@Gameeer LOL, I like your response.

Hard to figure out how this is rewarded. I bought the Wii U on day 2, have 15 physical games, more which I downloaded and filled out all club nintendo surveys. This leads me to think it's somewhat random in nature deciding who gets this gift. Great job Nintendo on continuing to show you're one of the cool companies still. No company consistently appreciates their fans like the N.

@WhiteTrashGuy Same here and then I traded in an old game for ACIV at a bizarro promo at bestbuy in Canada, trade in any game for a version of ACIV, Ghost or BF3. Long live desperate retailers!

It is the same price if you don`t buy it. With the way the 3rd parties have been treating the Wii U, I`ve been waiting and picking them all up for brand new at a $10 price point, then I dont have high expectations.

Wish I knew where to pick these up in Japan when I'm there next week! If anyone finds out, please let me know. Thanks.

Maybe I'll buy it, when it's $10 like all the other 3rd party games which are all remakes or ports.

Update is live, downloading now!

Shockingly low score.

That's not ever worth the $10 I paid for FIFA 13.

I think I'll pick this up now. It's always intrigued me.

I will eventually get Zelda, but for regular price when I have so many games I'm playing right now, I'll pass for now.

Great news about the Wii mote as mine is dying.

Reviews are to guidance, not the word of law. I personally found the demo and app related to this title boring while I'm enjoying Pikmin 3 more than most games I've played, yet it gets a lower rating and less fan fare outside of Nintendo sites. To each their own.

Yes, Zelda has come!

?

I heard they didn't have time to put tires on the Wii U version. (sarcasm)

@ThomasBW84 but as I found out under one employer in Canada, you are completely legally responsible for what you do under instruction from your employer, even if you have no idea it isn't correct.
