@SLIGEACH_EIRE It says on the pic above that you can now choose whether or not to receive the miifoto of the day you're able to disable it in the settings. I also found it annoying, so I'm glad they changed it.

@yuwarite It should have launched two days ago, though. Maybe your phone isn't compatible with the app (android 4.4 or higher, min. 720x1280 etc.)?
If you go to https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nianticlabs.pokemongo while logged in with your google account, you should be able to see if any of your devices are compatible or not.

@VanillaLake These are Nintendo Selects games, so they really aren't that expensive. 16 euros for these games is really cheap for a nintendo game imo.

He said he was just joking or something on twitter: https://twitter.com/fabiandoehla/status/744756719436333056

I don't think we're meant to take him serious.

@andrew20 It's just a recap of the information from day 1 and 2 for japanese viewers. You can see it on here: http://live.nicovideo.jp/gate/lv264397908
It's just the footage from before, but with the japanese hosts speaking over it.

@Tsurii It's dutch for me. I think it gets translated to the language of the country you're in?

@Dankykong Because there used to be rumours saying that Retro is working on Diddy Kong Racing 2 for Wii U a while back.

Got my e-mail just now here in Belgium Finally have 1050 points, so I can get WarioWare: Touched.

@EllenJMiller I just bought Ace Attorney Trilogy for 17,99, but I still got 30 coins, because it's normal price was 29,99. So you still get the amount of coins you would normally get even if there is a sale.

@Jamotello They already said it was coming this month, so both should be released in the following days. They aren't going to keep repeating it every single day.

@Zoda_Fett Actually, it will be in English if your device is set in English

@ikki5 yet there are still reports of stores where the Wii U is sold out. It's still sold out on amazon japan and a few days ago it became sold out on Joshin, which is apparently a big retailer in Japan. http://joshinweb.jp/game/22237/4902370520897.html#checkJump
Pretty sure these reports don't come out of nowhere. Maybe Nintendo isn't producing any Wii U's anymore.

@WireWare That's the canadian site. 19/02 is the release for NA, of which Canada is a part. http://www.nintendo.fr/Jeux/Nintendo-3DS/Fire-Emblem-Fates-1026071.html is the European french site.

@Peach64 The charts show US and Europe, not US and Japan. There is another chart showing Japan, which for some reason isn't included in the article, where it's up when compared to 2014. Japan is up enough to offset the decline in Europe and the US, so that Wii U sales are actually higher than last year.
You can find the Japanese chart in the source.

@Mrclaycoat yeah, I did find that weird. 3 years also isn't so long.
I'm guessing Nintendo made a contract with Google in order to use Street View, and that that contract is going to end in March. They probably could have the choice to prolong the contract, but didn't see it as something important enough to warrant the costs.
It's a shame for those who bought it though. Nintendo should have reminded everyone a year earlier, in my opinion.

@Mrclaycoat It said so on the website of Nintendo themselves and also on the eShop page in the description. Here is the press release from nintendo uk, where you'll find them mentioning this beneath: https://www.nintendo.co.uk/News/2013/February/Wanderlust-comes-to-Wii-U-with-Wii-Street-U-powered-by-Google-724644.html

And here is a blog post from 2013, proving that they didn't just add it today or something: http://train2game-news.co.uk/2013/02/27/train2game-news-explore-the-world-with-your-wii-u/
I think this site also mentioned it when it first came out, but I can't seem to find the article.

@gcunit Except Nintendo made clear from the beginning that this app would get discontinued in 2016. So what you're saying is definitely not correct. Those who bought it, could have easiky informed themselves how long it would still be available to them. Of course it would have been better if it were available forever.

@Raptor78 Nintendo already made clear from the beginning that it would only be available until march this year, so I'm pretty sure there won't be a refund as you could have informed yourself of the discontinuation before you bought it. You could see it on their site and on the press release they had when they launched the app.

@rjejr Nintendo does advertise their games, even more so than either Playstation or Xbox. The past year they even had more ads than the two combined: http://venturebeat.com/2016/01/11/gamemakers-spent-nearly-630m-on-tv-ads-in-2015/

The reason why they aren't high on the list, is because most of these games were highly anticipated multiplatform games, which have a far larger potential consumer base. It would be bad of Nintendo to spend even more marketing on games that are on platforms that are far to small. Most people who own Nintendo consoles probably already are aware of upcoming Nintendo games anyways.

@Great_Gonzalez No. There is definitely something wrong with those numbers, as the Wii U did 100 000 in the week of Christmas in Japan. Last week alone, it sold 53547 units according to Media Create.

@RupeeClock This isn't from Spike TV, but made by Geoff Keightley himself. Imho last year (which was the first show) was very good.

@DarthNocturnal I think he's talking about the game in the picture: Dissidia Final Fantasy.

EA did bring a lot of their games to the Wii and DS, and initially also to the Wii U but they probably didn't sold enough to warrant further support. Hopefully the NX sells well, so that third party will keep releasing their games on it. For the moment, the only EA game I'm looking forward to is Mirror's Edge Catalyst so it would be cool if they ported it to the NX.

@Nintendian Xbox is more open than Microsoft as a whole, so you can't really compare the two. Phil Spencer has also praised Playstation, even though Playstation is in direct competition with Xbox.
Microsoft themselves have never really praised anyone, as far as I know.

@SanderEvers Depends on where you live in Europe. Here in Western Europe it's already quite popular and it's getting even more popular every year. Not in the same way as in the US of course, but still very popular.

@wayneyrob22 what are you talking about? The browser has always worked as well as it does now. The reason why you might have gotten that many flash player stuff, was because a lot of sites were late to switch to html5. That's not Nintendo's fault. The only thing that was really fixed with the updates is load time, which was considerably shortened.

" ruining the Christmases of 10 million Wii U owners", really?!

I'd be surprised if even a tenth of that is looking forward to this game. Not saying the game won't be great, but Star Fox just isn't that popular.

@Zyrac I'm able to quickly find ranked matches when the japanese are stuck in splatfest, so I don't think that's a problem. But I don't really have a problem with playing with japanese players. The only times I have really bad lag or connection issues is during splatfests, and that's regional.

Is this only available in the US? I wanted to try it out, but I can't seem to find it in the European eShop...

Don't know what happened there. That was weird 😊 The site was stuck for some reason.

@BenAV But the multiplayer seems to be the main focus of this game, so it's unfair to just give scores on the single player alone. You could say the same about Splatoon. Its single player is mediocre, so should it get bad scored just based on that alone?

@davetheshrew uh i don't think so. Nintendo isnt going to produce a lot of these, so price will probably stay above 30 euros, except if you maybe buy it used. And we know the digital price will stay high.

@Lutherian They wouldn't have to spend any money on translation, though, as it's being released in Europe. It would probably not have to sell a lot to turn into a profit for XSeed.

@OddworldCrash That's not true. We knew these were coming months ago, so most people like me kept their stars. I'm glad Nintendo's doing this as a last goodbye to Club Nintendo. Though I would've preferred if they updated it as frequently before they were planning on discontinuing it.

@Artwark That's not true. Reggie never was, and probably never will be CEO of NOA. Before Iwata became Ceo, an other japanese man was CEO of NOA. When Iwata replaced him, he returned to Japan to work in NOJ.

@Cyber-BLP-- Except they are in the UK charts, with Splatoon (27), Yoshi's Wooly World (29), Smash Bros (34) and Mario Kart 8(40). And then there's also the LEGO games and Skylanders too. They arent on top, which is to be suspected, but they're still hanging in there.

@DEAD I think we are though, because if you look at the releaseschedule from Nintendo's last earnings report, you can see that they only list Fire Emblem If once in the European one, while they split it up in the American one.

@Zach777 The new maps aren't on disc, but the weapons and the new mode are. So it's a mix of both.

@Donjwolf When you're placing tracks, you can undo the ones you've placed before they are built.
But once you've built them, you can still remove them, but you lose the money you've spent on building them.

Hope this answers your question

@SeVok I remember that when the ambassador titles became available, Nintendo said that gba games will stay exclusive for ambassadors, and they wouldn't release them to the general public.
They can of course always change their mind, but for now, they don't seem they have.

@TeeJay It's homebrew, not piracy. Piracy already exists on the 3ds since 2012, and Nintendo is still making games for it, so I'm sure homebrew won't change that.

@rjejr the Wii U was bundled with ZombiU at launch, and that was a real bundle with ZombiU art on the box.

Tomodachi Life seems to be selling a lot better in Western Europe as far as I know. It even is the best selling game at the moment in France.

http://www.sell.fr/top/index/week/27/year/2014

I think it has to do with Nintendo being far less known in those countries as opposed to Playstation.

@Andyliini I've read that it's Samuel Hadida, who is also the producer of the Silent Hill movies.

@Frapp Actually, us Europeans have to buy the more expensive special edition of Bayonetta 2 to get Bayonetta 1, according to the trailer on the eShop and the european version of the Digital Event, so it doesn't make a lot of difference over here...

@Peach64 Where do you even get those numbers?
Forbes, which is a very reliable site, states that Nintendo has 11.6 billion dollars on hand at the moment, which is much more than what you're saying.
You can see it here: http://www.forbes.com/companies/nintendo/

OT: As for the Wii U numbers, they are very bad. Don't be suprised if they announce a new home console by the end of 2015. The fact that their projections are very low, means that even Nintendo has lost all hope on saving the Wii U, and they'll probably are thinking of replacing it as soon as possible.

@allav866 No, it's not the first time. We're able to buy it on the Wii Store here in Europe. It is the first time we get in on the (3)DS, though, so that's cool.

@outburst There always was scoring to begin with.
You just have to pick the right game mode. There is singing without scoring, with normal scoring and with an indepth scoring system.
I think the one without scoring is the default mode, which probably is the reason you didn't see your score.

@Peach64 It was a big succes in Japan.

These are only the sales of 2013, while it came out in 2012 in Japan and 2013 in the rest of the world. Most of the Japanese sales happened in 2012, which is why the number for Japan this year is under 1 million (which is still good for a game that's been out for over a year). AC sold 3 million in Japan last year if I remember correctly.

Awesome! Can't wait for it.
I played the demo of the previous game and I thought it was quite nice. Especially the graphics and the sense of speed were very good. really looking forward to it
