I honestly don't care one way or the other about this, but I will not deny that I have gotten many good laughs out of YouTubers saying that Nintendo is "doomed" without their support.

Picked up Golden Sun and W101...then realized how huge W101 is. I don't have the data for that right now!

If I finish my surveys I'll have 800 more coins. Dunno if I want the bag or some more games.

Punch-Out didn't have Classic Controller, so no Gamepad. It can of course be released from the WiiU menu.

Definitely Punch-Out!! for me this week, and MPT next week. I'll probably get Teslagrad as well since it's still on sale.

Throwback Sale will likely have NES and SNES Punch-Out!! games on sale. Hopefully something unrelated, like how Pushmo was on sale last week. Kirby pls

@RCMADIAX Yeah, I missed the Twitch stream but I just followed you and looked at the pictures. Dis gun b gud.

On a more serious note, I'm not sure how to feel here. Ninja Pig has a valid point, this should have been discussed between the two privately before any big fuss was made. PhotonStorm is a company and shouldn't have to run to mommy and daddy Nintendo to solve their problems.

On the hand, plagiarism is a bad thing and until the issue is fixed, the game should be withheld. And obviously, with a release in about 36 hours, the game wasn't getting fixed and released any time soon.

This is the most intriguing NL comment thread I've read in my 6 or 7 years on the site.

The Tomodachi Life gay marriage ones were a hoot too but that's because every comment was terrible. This is pure dev-on-dev action.

I'll take some of the @RCMADIAX popcorn and enjoy the show. And PENTAPUZZLE when the time comes hint hint

Sweet! I didn't realize that EU confirmed more games. I'm totally picking up Kirby and Pandora's Tower when they release. Get The Last Story out there as well, Father Iwata!

Ah man, look at that indie sale. I hope it comes to America, because I wouldn't mind buying Guacamelee a second time. And Teslagrad looks pretty great as well.

Although I do still hate NL for the stupid "Cross-Buy is now a thing on Nintendo Systems!" with a generic picture of Mario...that was for Squids Odyssey, only in Europe.

I knew what they meant. Considering the picture is of an already released game and they said "web store" not "eShop", I'm not sure how much room there is for confusion.

@RCMADIAX Yeah, I can see that. I doubt that the other dev would be too happy with their cross-over content becoming just free DLC, lol. Regardless, cool, I'll definitely be buying this and playing the extra DLC when it comes out. As well as PENTAPUZZLE...the real star of the show.

Thanks for the open response!

I plan to pick this up when I'm finished with some other titles I picked up, as I have to get the backlog done first!

But, I gotta wonder, what ever happened to the originally planned 50 free extra levels for the original Blok Drop U? Is it safe to guess that this is what became of them?

Lol, the must-haves aren't actually on sale, they're just featured. That's just disappointing.

There's also "eShop Must-Haves" going on a rotating sale all week long. No idea what's going to be in it of course, probably old VC games and the like.

I sure hope so anyway, I have a ton of VC games I want. There's no doubt that some of them would end up on sale.

@RCMADIAX Cool beans, man, I can't wait. Your games have been filling in some of the random holes in the eShop (like PDSF or Spikey Walls, for me anyway) at minimum prices and that's a good thing. Keep on trucking and you'll do well, I hope.

@RCMADIAX

I feel terrible because the name alludes me, but I saw a puzzle game that you're working on that looks a LOT like the 3DS Monster Manor puzzles. Basically, the ones where you have shapes that you have to fit into a certain area. Any word on that game's release? Because it looks like a lot of fun to have a whole game of those puzzles.

How does that even happen? Regardless, good review. I'm excited to see the dev's company reform in 2016.

@Pahvi

Yep, that's exactly how it works. They put out a new update and the DLC comes with that, you just buy a key.

I wonder what the next update will bring. Surely new medals for MM map, but hopefully some other changes are made.

Merry Christmas to you guys as well!

But if only we got a new Paper Mario...

Man, there's a ton of love for Shovel Knight. When I played it I thought it was merely OK and regretted spending full price on it. Maybe I should give it another shot...

This was my least favorite of the series but it's still a fun game. It's pretty short if you're good at it, but multiple playthroughs are encouraged because of the multiple difficulties and such. I'll probably pick it up eventually, but right now I'm saving my dollars for the other GBA Mega Man series.

C'mon, Battle Network 2 and 3 are both out in Japan AND altered so that even without the multiplayer you can still get 100%. Bring em to NA pls Capcom.

@IxC I totally agree. I haven't bought all of his games, but what I've bought has not been bad at all. And crap, whether people like it or not, Flappy Bird was a huge phenomenon and he was smart to capatalize on its success. Furthermore, he charged a dollar for the game. I mean, seriously, it's the exact same price as an iPhone game but somehow it's horrible.

I like this guy. He's open with people, he looks at Miiverse, and he launches small games at small prices. Nothing wrong with hugely that. Crap like Zegeta or Frenchy Bird or Tested with Robots or any other hugely overpriced game has nothing to do with him.

Man, I need to stop ranting before i get myself in trouble. But I hope that one day these elitist gamers will stop whining about what they don't like and instead just choose to ignore it. Discouraging the creators with nasty comments doesn't help anyone.

Can't wait for this to hit NA, I'm going to pick up those Skyward Sword costumes.

Dude...where's Rusty's Real Deal Baseball at? Well, I suppose it wasn't an EU release.

Aw, no storyline this time like in last year's review?

I'm all for a game that you download for free and play with amiibo. Maybe Nintendoland 2, where an amiibo from each franchise can unlock a new game and 20 or so new park rewards.

@rjejr Haha, no worries. I agree, considering that this has Miiverse stamps and decent graphics (heck of a lot better than that Zegeta one, anyway), I could see them getting away with this. Still, hopefully it's $1.99 max. I haven't regained the innocence I lost when I saw that Zegeta was 5 dollars.

This one doesn't seem so bad. I mean yeah, it's a rip-off, but at least the creator is actually trying. I've never seen a Flappy Bird game done like this.

Can you imagine a Metroid Maker kind of game? Or Zelda Maker? Either one of those would get hundreds of hours of playtime almost instantly.

HOLY CRAP, To Be Continued returns!

+1 for WOMBO COMBO

-infinity for existing

He brings up a good point about competing with newspapers, magazines, and TV in the sense that it's all entertainment stuff.

Not 10/10? No Frontier confirmed.

Nah, I'm kidding. There's still hope.

I'm perfectly fine wit the one amiibo save data thing, it's NFC and can't store much. For me, what makes or breaks it is if they allow you to back up your save data. Just make an amiibo app where you can register your figures and save/load data. If they don't do that and your data is destroyed each time you want to use the figure in a different game that writes to it...then I really will wonder what's going on at Nintendo HQ.

I'm cool with Spikey Walls because it's an App Store game at an App Store price. And it pretty much perfectly mimics Flappy Bird, as far as I'm concerned. This is just trash, however. $5 for a crappy game that speeds up incredibly fast...not interested, never will be. Even The Letter was only $2, and at least that had 3-D models instead of crappy 2-D "art"!

Consider how indies often have characters from other games in them, I wouldn't be surprised to see it work in this way: Buy a, say, Commander Video amiibo and then scan him into other games. Although now that I think about it, that would really only be beneficial to the company whose amiibo you bought...

Everything you said, plus N64 VC. That's really the biggest one for me. We may hear about GB games on Wii U, considering that Kirby's Adventure is in Smash.

Anyway, my hype thrusters have activated. Hopefully we see HW/MK8 DLC, new Captain Toad, Mario Maker, and Mario vs DK news, N64 VC news, and something special. Heck, I'm just happy to see Father Iwata again!

It's actually about games until Spring 2015, not just this year.

Now I want to go play Ape Escape AKA the true greatest monkey game.

Huh, no "coming soon" this week? Must be because they're hiding the DKC releases!

I've never actually gotten to play a 3-D F-Zero game. If N64 VC ever comes along for Wii U I'll be all over it though...and even more so if GameCube VC ever comes.

I love how it's supposed to change each race. That'll make this course a whole lot more interesting.

Man, November is gonna rock. MK8 DLC, Hyrule Warriors DLC, Smash, Pokemon...does it ever end?

@BensonUii I'll trade you for some of that Donkey Kong!

Absolutely cannot wait for the US release.. Hopefully next month to celebrate the series' 20th anniversary!

I'm really feeling that Event Mode. It's awesome how seemingly every Event has its own reward and some have hidden paths. And of course, CHALLENGES!! I hope that there's seperate boards, but there's currently more than what Brawl had so it's not bad at all.

Folders have been on my most wanted list for awhile, and they have a lot better functionality than 3DS folders. Now, custom UI would be great, I suppose.

I enjoyed Blok Drop U and likely will pick up the developer's other titles, including this. My opinion may be invalid since I bought The Letter for the laughs (and laugh I did) but I'm pretty serious about supporting indies...especially when I can buy all of his games on Wii U for the price of a double cheeseburger.
