not a poke-fan here but i don't get these rare pokemons given out as freebies... they should distribute a QUEST to allow you to battle and capture the pokemon.
Let's flood their twitter asking for the bonus GBA features. I imagine the palette might be troublesome to emulate but there's no reason they can't unlock the new form. (an embedded game genie code would suffice FFS)
I think people who care about video games know what the Wii U is about.
Well, take me as an example. I'm a big Nintendo fan and completely aware of the Wii U's existence but I've not bought it yet but I know I will at some point.
On the other hand, I'm having a major blast with the 3DS and already got a little backlog of games I've not played yet (which is likely to increase in the next months)
I just don't see reasons to get a Wii U already... but I'm sure my mind (and the minds of the majority of gamers out there) is VERY VERY likely to change after E3.
EDIT: I've just read my post and realized it doesn't make much sense at all but I'm too knackered to edit it. Sigh...
Before the internet there was a meaning to cheat codes... We used to wait for magazines to come along or a friend to come up and tell us about their discovery. Now we have this which kinda spoils much of the fun! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Konami_code_games
That's an amazing promo! Hope it comes to North America. I've got Luigi's Mansion and will deffo pick up Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D and Animal Crossing: New Leaf. So that would mean free Castlevania or LEGO City for me
@Geonjaha Yes... I see the whole timeline hootenanny as an afterthough.
For me, The Legend of Zelda is what it is, the legend of a princess kidnapped by an evil force and rescued by a green elf-like hero. The different versions of the stories happen because legends have a tendency to "mutate" depending on who is telling it or when... etc...
Yes, it's all a bit nuts but that's how I view it.
The game looks amazing, especially on that eShop video! I can't wait to play it. We have SO LITTLE INFO about it and people are jumping to such pessimist conclusions... My favorite Zelda titles are the top-down ones <3
They need to make WiiWare apps startable directly from the system menu just like the (amazing) 3DS does. Then later on put up the Wii classics on the eShop so you can download them as well.
Can't wait I always get in a frenzy on Nintendo Directs! Last month my boss asked me why I was buzzing with happiness with my headphones on! Gotta get a grip, I know!
OMG is this a new price tag for upcoming releases? I love it but I don't get it! Animal Crossing is bound to sell millions no matter what price tag it's released! Good going, Nintendo! (Or maybe that's just a cover up for loads of DLC...)
How much do you guys think DKC 3D will cost? I believe they can't charge full $39.99 for it, can they?
The games are huge and sure do take loads of RAM memory space... I mean, it sure does take a little while to dump the game from the memory and load the menu. 8 seconds seems mighty fine.
Meat Boy is cute but I guess its inclusion in Smash Bros is a bit of a strech. If Nintendo manages to get them to create a new exclusive sequel to WII U then it seems plausible.
Sonic and Snake appeared on Smash Bros after having exclusives released on Game Cube and Wii

Re: Eiji Aonuma: Zelda 3DS Will Feature a Light and Dark World
my fav Zelda games are the top-down ones so it's a major yes for me <3
I actually haven't finished any of the 3D ones yet! got to the last boss of Skyward Sword with 100% but lost interest and my Twilight disc broke
Re: The Wonderful 101 Is Focused On "Fun" And Not Game Length
If it offers a free play mode with random maps etc then it's all good.

Re: Miiverse to Arrive on 3DS "Within This Year"
Very excited. Of course this means you'll be able to create a Nintendo ID from your 3DS, right? Otherwise there wouldn't be no point.
Re: Miiverse Now Available In Your Browser
WOW! People are REALLY talented! I'm amazed at the designs!
Re: Nintendo Won't Be Holding A Large-Scale Press Conference At E3 This Year
Wasted opportunity.
Re: Nintendo: 3DS eShop And App Store Comparison Is "Quality" Versus "Quantity"
It's all about CONTROL.

Re: Nintendo UK: 2013 is "The Year of The 3DS"
I doubt there's a single unhappy 3DS owner
and later on this year Nintendo is bound to make more people happy!

Re: Eiji Aonuma Takes To Link To The Past Miiverse To Discuss Zelda 3DS
WOW! The overworld really looks like a 1:1 upgrade of the original game. BEYOND EXCITED!
and after this one is out... Majora will follow!
Re: New Mode And Items Confirmed For Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D
WOOHOO! CAN'T WAIT!
Re: Iwata Reveals More Details On New Super Luigi U
Very excited... Hopefully they will put out a New Super Peach U at some point too! One can dream!
Re: A Mario Party is Getting Started on 3DS This Winter
AR Functions = Game not being available on the eShop?
Re: Circle Pad Pro XL Available Through Nintendo's Online Store In North America
@Nintenjoe64 Ain't happening love... :/
Re: Nintendo’s Bill Trinen: 2013 Is The Year When The 3DS "Takes Off"
So many incredible releases this year!
And I'm not even counting Pokemon (ain't a fan...) but I'm sure it will boost the sales to whole new levels.
Re: A New Yoshi's Island Title is Coming to 3DS
OMFG <3
Re: New Legend Of Zelda Title Confirmed For Nintendo 3DS, Due Late 2013
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK
Re: SEGA Reveals Castle of Illusion HD But There's No Mention of Nintendo Versions
Disney games usually perform much better on Nintendo consoles so it's a very stupid decision to leave Wii U out. Very stupid.
Re: Nintendo Of Korea Embroiled In Twitter Drama Over Alleged Sexist Comment
Social media employees who fail at multitasking... Amateurs!
Re: New 3DS Nintendo Direct to Broadcast on 17th April
Can't wait

Re: Super Little Acorns 3D Turbo Swinging Into The 3DS eShop Next Week
Looks cute.
One question... do you actually use the d-pad to move your character or all you have to do is press jump at specified times?
Re: Swapnote Update Available For Download On North American 3DS Consoles
Cool! Will update from when I'm home.
Re: Animal Crossing: New Leaf Pricing Emerges On North American eShop

Re: Nintendo Working On Wii Remote Fast Charging Battery Pack
If they bundled it with a black Wii Plus controller + nunchuck pack then I'm in
Re: Wii U Sales Double in Japanese Charts Following New Releases
How many people live in Japan? With weekly figures like that, I suppose by now every Japanese citizen owns a 3DS or maybe two!
Wii U will follow the 3DS steps! I'm sure of it
Re: Nintendo Set To Host Mysterious 3DS Event In A Couple Of Weeks
I do get the general "hate" but feck knows I would love yearly iterations of New Super Mario Bros.
Re: Rumour: Bravely Default: Flying Fairy Is Taking Flight To The West
This game is just like that Heroes Of Light one right? Full on retro with cute graphics? If so it's a deal for me.
Re: Dragon Quest X Posts Poor Sales Figures In Japan
They need to stop messing around.
Re: Nintendo Set To Host Mysterious 3DS Event In A Couple Of Weeks
Miiverse announcement?
Re: AckkStudios: Two Brothers Won't Be Coming To 3DS
I hate when THE SAME GAME comes out to Wii U and 3DS. Usually one version is much better than the other and kills the point in getting both.
I like what they did with Lego City Undercover, tho. Two DIFFERENT experiences makes me wanna get both!
Re: Feature: The Biggest Wii U Games of 2013 - Spring Edition
Wind Waker is the only Zelda title I ain't played so I be mucho excited about it.
Re: Indie Dev Island Officials Turning To Kickstarter To Fund Boxed DS Game
It's all about downloads now. They should make it DSiWare too!
Re: XSEED Details Game Localisation Costs
I just love Little King! <3
One of the BEST Wii titles and very underappreciated.

Happy anniversary Daily reader from Brazil here x
Re: Special AR Pre-Paid Cards Coming To Japan
@Red_Kinetic it's serious! I''ve seen a video yesterday
Honestly, I think it's cute and someone better scan them all if it comes to America.
Re: Nintendo Download: 28th March 2013 (North America)
$19.99 for Revelations is amazing. Not sure if I'll get it knowing a very superior port is on its way to Wii U.
Re: Iwata's First Post On Miiverse Reconfirms Reduced Loading Times For Wii U
Proud to be a Nintendo fan <3
Re: Access Miiverse On Your Smartphone And PC By The End Of May
and I hope this means that NNIDs are coming to the 3DS too!
(in a way you can create a NNID account directly on 3DS without having to own a Wii U)
Re: iOS Developers May Be Able To Port Games To The Wii U
It's a progress but I hope they keep filtering what gets into the store and whatnot.
Re: Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon Tops Japanese Charts
Does this chart counts digital sales too?
Re: Video: Wii U Menu Speed Upgrade Cuts Waiting Time By More Than Half

Re: Harvest Moon Heading to North American 3DS eShop in Late April
Hoping the Oracles will be announced soon.
