When will Nintendo learn? If the Wii U wasn't region locked then I'd be able to buy any games that get released in America but not Europe, I would have loved to get Castle of Shikigami III for Wii but couldn't because of region locking. Also, fan translators often find ways around region locking but it would still be easier to play fan translated games if consoles like the Wii and Wii U weren't region locked.
I'll definitely get the 3DSware version when it releases and I'l get this after eventually getting a Wii U too. Also, this is the first I've heard of the classic controller being compatible with the Wii U. I'm glad that it is as I like the design of the classic controller pro far more than the Wii U controller pro.
I don't get why they called it Kirby's dream collection: Special edition. Why not just Kirby's dream collection? If this is the special edition, what's the regular edition?
@Bass_X0 Ikr? This is why the Wii U's lineup seems so uninteresting to me. The only one of those games that are more common on 360/PS3 that interests me is Bayonetta 2 but I'm not sure if I'd get that as I haven't played the first one. Although, there are still games like Pikmin 3, The wonderful 101 and Game & Wario coming out after the launch.
@Zezzy This seemed kind of fanboyish to me: "Hey guys. They can do it. And better. That's all that matters." I don't see how anyone could support argument of Sony doing this better. You have to buy two separate consoles for asynchronous gameplay with Vita/PS3 whereas the Wii U is designed for this and everything you need for this sort of gameplay comes with the Wii U and will be an essential part of the gameplay in some Wii U games but it will just be an option in certain PS3/PSV games that not many are likely to use.
Here's the same trailer but with English subs. Anyway, this game looks fantastic, the music in that trailer was awesome too. They'd better release this in the west at some point.
I think the new graphics look fine and this looks like it will be a great return for Phoenix Wright but I have a lot of catching up to do with this series before getting this one.
@Waveboy I want it in white too so that the Wii controllers that I'll use on it will match but I won't be getting a Wii U for a while so I'm hoping that by the time I get round to it, the deluxe bundle will be available in white.
Its not bad because its different, its bad because its a horrible game due to all the points that @Geonjaha made. This doesn't deserve a score anywhere near an 8/10.
@Boo_buster That's a ridiculous reason to fire someone. I'm not sure if you even read all the article. If you read the explanation he made later, what he was saying, really wasn't that bad and made a lot of sense too.
It would be great if they were still with Nintendo, especially now that I know that some of the members that left the team would still be with Rare if they were still with Nintendo.
What does FFS stand for? We have arrived is from Final fantasy Type-0. Does it have a different name in some regions? Anyway, nothing that interests me this week.
I disagree, especially with ho lacking in creativity the series is. SM3DL just doesn't compare to any of the other 4 3D Mario platformers and they're being far less creative with the 2D Mario paltformers then they used to be. Maybe if they took a break from making Mario games, they would be able to make more memorable and original games.
@Rococoman I'm pretty sure there's nothing like Warioware on the SNES and there weren't and SNES RPGs that had anything like the Djin system in the Golden sun games.
Some people really need to grow up. The comments some people have made a ridiculous. I was annoyed when Little King's story 2 was announced for Vita but I didn't say anything as stupid as what the people in the video @DarkKirby linked to. I wonder if any of them realise that this game probably wouldn't exist if Nintendo didn't save it. I'm not sure I'll get this anyway as I'd want to play thew first game in the series before it but I don't own either of the consoles that's on.
I saw the words Bayonetta and Wii U and got excited but then was disappointed when I read the full title. Can't they port the first one to the Wii U first?
I'm surprised its being released in the west before Japan. Anyway, I was hoping to get a white one so that the gamepads and console match the Wii remotes and nunchuks but I'd want to get the deluxe bundle. I'm not planning on getting a Wii U for a while though so maybe the deluxe bundle will be available in white by the time I do get round to it.
I would much rather have Peach and Wario than Miis. Sure, they wouldn't be able to make them clones of Mario but all four characters in Super Mario 64 DS played differently from each other but with this being a launch game, maybe they didn't have time to add in characters that didn't play the same as each other.
This sounds like it will be far better than NSMB2. It sounds like the levels will be a lot more creative and it sounds like they're finally going to have some new themes for the worlds in an NSMB game with this one. I hope Yoshi stays with you in this game like he did in SMW.
This looks awesome! Its cool that Link has the Majora's mask even though the Nintendo VS. Sega war had ended by the time LoZ: MM came out and its good to see the Mother series in it. Also, Sonic looks sexy in this.
I don't care for this game and I can see how it might be a risky move but so that western gamers that would want to play it can, I think Capcom should give it an eshop release in the west, similar to what's being done with Unchained blades.
Happy anniversary Final fantasy! I have only played one FF game though which is Final fantasy IV which is either the third of fourth best handheld RPG I've played. I'm not sure whether its better than Golden sun or not. I was thinking of skipping the first three FF games due to how basic they are but some people seem to have really enjoyed them so I'm not sure now.
Also, since this got an article on NL, I think there should have been an article last year for the 15th anniversary of the Tales of series, that series doesn't get the appreciation it deserves.
I think the artwork on the magazines that Bass_X0 posted look far better than this, they look awesome! Also, Link looks like a girl on that cover, it even looks like he has tits.

Re: Men Like Metroid, Women Prefer Animal Crossing, But Both Like Mario
I'm a guy but I prefer Animal crossing to Metroid. Its a shame that there's no mention of Wario on either lists though, his games are so underrated.

Re: Rodea the Sky Soldier Still Has No Release Plans
I hope this does get released at some point. It looks like a fantastic game and it looks more exciting than anything announced for the Wii U.
Re: Witness Layton's 'Last Adventure' In New 3DS Trailer
Wow, that trailer was amazing! This looks like it will be an excellent end to the Layton series.

Re: Nintendo Download: 20th September 2012 (North America)
What an odd name for Denpa men, they should have left the subtitle out, the game itself doesn't interest me though.
Re: Ubisoft: Wii U Is The Most Innovative System On Earth
It doesn't seem as innovative as the DS and Wii to me.
Re: Don't Expect Any NFC-Ready Games At Wii U Launch
I don't care for NFC, it just seems like a way for developers to rip people off to me.
Re: Tank! Tank! Tank!
I don't think this should be a retail game, it doesn't look deep enough. I think it would be better as a download.
Re: You Can Dress Up As Zelda and Fox McCloud In Tekken Tag 2 Wii U Edition
I just saw the new costumes trailer and it was hilarious. I'm still not getting this though as I'm not into the Tekken series.

@Waveboy I want it in white too so that the Wii controllers that I'll use on it will match but I won't be getting a Wii U for a while so I'm hoping that by the time I get round to it, the deluxe bundle will be available in white.
Re: UK Gamers: You'll Be Playing Tekken Tag Tournament 2 At Wii U Launch
The Nintendo references look pretty cool but I won't be getting this game as I don't care for the Tekken series.

Was anyone really expecting them to release a new game to celebrate anniversary for a game series they no longer care about?

Re: Mutant Mudds Deluxe Blasting Onto Wii U
This game looks like it has great 3D so I'd rather get the 3DSware version.
Re: Nintendo: There's No Such Thing As Too Much Mario
@Malic Maybe because the 3 NES titles were more unique than the NSMB games are.

Re: Feast Your Eyes on Nintendo's Wii U Launch Hits
NSMBU does look a lot better than NSMB2 but the trailer still felt too familiar when NSMB2 just came out a few weeks ago.

I hope the saves transfer with the games this time unlike when you transfer DSiware games to a 3DS.

I would have voted for RPG but since that wasn't an option, I voted for platformer.
Re: It's Nintendo Versus Sega, Anime Style
@Zezzy Lol, I totally would, I clicked the link and I agree, he does look a lot better than he does in that picture.

I recognise Martin Mathers. He used to work for ONM and before that worked for Cube solutions.
Re: Nintendo Download: 13th September 2012 (Europe)
Even with, restore points, I'm not going back to Zelda II, its easily the worst game in the series.
Re: Sorry Lost Planet Fans, EX Troopers Isn't Coming To The West

I doubt I'd get this if it isn't bundled and I'm not sure if it will be that successful if it isn't bundled.
Re: Many Happy Returns, Final Fantasy - You're 25 This Year
Happy anniversary Final fantasy! I have only played one FF game though which is Final fantasy IV which is either the third of fourth best handheld RPG I've played. I'm not sure whether its better than Golden sun or not. I was thinking of skipping the first three FF games due to how basic they are but some people seem to have really enjoyed them so I'm not sure now.
