I'm glad this was false. I was looking forward to a Zelda game that was built with the 3ds in mind anyway. It would be awesome if it came out this holiday season (even though it's highly unlikely)
I hope the WiiU sales great... I believe this console has the potential to make or break Nintendo. November 18th sounds legit, but it doesn't matter to me, because I'll be waiting a year or two to see how things play out.
@Heatran5400 Nintendo already gave ambassadors 20 games for free, so I think that's fair enough. This should have been included in the first place, if you ask me.
Yay! Now "hardcore" gamers have no reason why they aren't buying WiiU. Nintendo is my favorite out of the big three, but I do like Sony second. Consoles I have owned: N64, Game Cube, Wii, future WiiU owner, ps1, ps2, ps3 Handhelds I have owned: I found a green Gameboy color, Gameboy advanced, Gameboy SP, i found a Gameboy micro, ds, ds light, dsi, 3ds, psp, and psvita when the price goes down.
I would love to see Sony and Nintendo merge that would be awesome. You get the innovation and power in one console/handheld. Microsoft and Apple wouldn't stand a chance
Why are people so concerned with the colors in the box art? It's not like you will play the WiiU with the box art, so it shouldn't be a big deal. The art work and labels look good to me 👾👾👾
Hopefully, they release both black and white at launch in NA. I like black consoles better than white, because black makes it look more sleek and doesn' get dirty, but can get fingerprints all over it :/
Where is the Mario and Sonic platform game? That would be awesome, as long as it has a better story line than M&S@ the London 2012 Olympic games. I bought the game the other day, and the story was so stupid, that it quickly became unplayable, which caused it to get returned and placed back on Gamestop's wall. Maybe the story line is for 5 year olds, I don't know, but I did like the minigames.
Has madden ever been released outside of the USA? Since it is American football, I thought the game would be sold just here. I don't imagine it selling too well in other countries because most people from there don't care about it.
MARIO IS DRIED UP RIGHT NOW, AND IS BEGGING TO BE QUENCHED WITH SOME ORIGINALITY. Mario will sell, because it's Mario, but this game will not be purchased by me. Nintendo must be trolling, because the BIG REWARD in this game is a STUPID TITLE SCREEN. Four Mario games on the 3ds is way too many, and makes Nintendo look like money grubbers.
I still think you will get your usual $9 back. Gamestop is a company that has to make money some how, so you would never get back $20 for a game that you paid $40 for.
If Nintendo stopped making home consoles, I would like them team up with Sony to form a new game company. Nintendo would be the innovation, and Sony could make it a power house, by adding in ideas to make the console better. Sony and Nintendo could make exclusive games for it, so that they keep their fanbases and 3rd party support. It would make the console perfect for families and hardcore gamers alike. Companies like google, apple, and Microsoft wouldn't stand a chance against them.
@MadAussieBloke Amen!!! This is why I will not buy this game digitally. If Nintendo had eshop accounts ( similar to apple, where anyone signed into your account can get the game for free ) then I would buy it digitally in a heart beat, but since this is Nintendo, it will probably never happen. Cartridges FTW!!!
@SteveW you forgot about the stupid shoelaces, fans, and notebooks. I won't be getting this game digitally because I wouldn't be able to lend it to family members who have a 3ds. Like someone said before, if they had family eshop accounts, then I would consider. I don't want to lend my 3ds to my brother or sister, when we could buy the cartridge, and share it. I'm 200 points away from platinum 2013, so I don't really need the extra 50 coins, and the stress that will come with buying digital.
Since it's going to be extremely easy to get lives because coins are everywhere, I would expect this game to be difficult. It makes the game more fun when you have a shortage of lives because it adds a challenge. I finished SM3DL with almost 400 lives, and it was one of my least favorite Mario games.
I'm still undecided on getting the WiiU at this point, because I don't know how much it will cost. Nintendo has given this console a bad name (though that will not affect my decision) which sucks, because when I mention the console to friends, it is already dismissed as another Wii. The main reason why I am still undecided on the WiiU is because e3 didn't get me excited. It was BORING, is the nicest way to describe it. Maybe my expectations were too high, I don't know, but there were only 4 games that I remember. I don't really like pikmin, and I was not convinced to buy 3, Mario is Mario, so I'm kind of excited about that, nintendoland seems to be an okay game, and batman armored edition is the same game, with a few new tricks. Last years e3 got me excited, and it made me want to buy a 3ds because of the cool screen effects. The WiiU was not showcased well if you ask me.
😱I read the title and I was ready to storm the comments section expressing that I'm tired of Nintendo and all the lies, but then I read a little, and now all is well 😄
Awwh man i missed him if you read this then good luck with your new job, and COME BACK AND VISIT ( even if it is as an anonymous source to confirm or deny the latest rumors ) ^.^
@Victoria We complain in NA because the coolest thing our club nintendo offers are Mario shoelaces, and they aren't that cool. My coins are piling up because I have NOTHING good to spend them on. We just want to see something like this come to the states, and it'll make us happy.
The pink one looks great, and makes the pink one that was already released look like crap. Those two colors remind me of the pink and blue of the wiimotes too.
The scanner worked for me, and I live in NA. It sucks that you can't use multiple colors on the same note. This update is useless because of it lacking that feature.
@xinoeph for some games that's true, but for others the 2nd screen wasn't necessary at all. I just want to see something other than another ds made ( I love my 3ds though ). I'm just ready to see something new, kind of like it was with the transition from gameboy to ds.
Does anyone else want nintendo to get away from the ds line? I'm kind of tired of it now, and I want to see a new line of handhelds. I don't know what it should look like, or do but, I would like it do be unique. That is why I like nintendo. Now that I'm done with my rant, I love the gameboys. I still have my gameboy advanced, SP, and micro, and I still play them from time to time.
Here's a hint nintendo. Release a big title during the summer, and you'll get some money. Why do you wait til the holiday season to release all of the big titles? You don't give anyone a reason to pick up a 3ds at any other time besides November-December.
Wow a stupid gold colored coin, that just happens to be able to hold a game is definitely not a reason for me to preorder. I hope the U.S. gets something better. Happy 4th of July to anyone who celebrates it
I only had my 3ds for 3-4 months, and I already have about 250 streetpasses. I guess that's due to the fact that I live in Fort Lauderdale, which isn't that far from Miami. If you want some street passes, then come to Florida, or you could go to Japan, where im sure you would get 250+ streetpasses in one day.

Re: GAME: Zelda Majora’s Mask Listing Was Fabricated
