I didn't know that the Mr. Driller series is a spin-off of Dig Dug!

@Serebii You listed every main feature I'd like to see in the games.

"Iggy recently dyed his hair green for the Koopalings’ New Super Mario Bros. Wii redesign in 2009, after wearing his natural rainbow-coloured hair for years."
@JakeShapiro Ah, but is it not likely that green is his natural hair colour, and that he's returned to it after years of using rainbow dye?

Also, am I the only one who thinks that Pink Gold Peach should be called Rose Gold Peach?

How excited am I on a scale of 1 to 10? Why, that's a resounding Eleventy-Seven of course!

"It will air on Sunday 11th May at 07:30 Japanese time, which is 18:30 on Saturday Eastern time / 15:30 Pacific; that's 11:30pm Saturday night in the UK and 00:30 Sunday in central Europe."

So...that's Something-O'Clock in Australia and New Zealand then?

@sillygostly Thank you for using the correct terminology for the sequels to Pokémon Black and White. That's really made my day!

"It’s a bummer that every single female-identified character in Mario Kart 8 is a princess, aside from Toadette and Wendy Koopa."

@JakeShapiro The irony is that when Wendy was considered to be Bowser's daughter, she was technically the princess of the Koopa Kingdom.

I used to play Yoshi all the time back in the days of Mario Kart 64; nowadays I usually play as a different character every time. They all have value and meaning to me.

I am giving serious thought towards getting the Australian equivalent bundle. As for the bonus game, I'm having trouble deciding between New Super Mario Bros. U and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD.

I saw some of the playsets at EB Games last week. I'd definitely like to collect some.

@Luigifan141 And Oblivia (wait...is Hawaii a US state?).

Wait a minute...Harvest Moon 3? What happened to Harvest Moon 2?!

Given the recent trends of making crossover games, I'm sure this game would be equally hyped if it were called Mario Kart + F-Zero and included courses and characters from the F-Zero games.

Sweet!

Having a Game Boy Remix and/or a Game Boy Color Remix on 3DS would be ideal for those who don't own/can't get a Wii U.

This game and its add-on packs? A month-one purchase for me!

"Mario!!! It that really you??? It has been so long since our last adventure!"

I just noticed that^ typo!

This is one of two GBC games I've been patiently waiting to be released in the 3DS eShop in Australia (the other one being Mario Golf), so I'm excited that they will both soon be available!

As for the original Game Boy, I'm eagerly awaiting the Donkey Kong Land trilogy, and I'd also like to see releases of Wario Blast and Tetris Attack.

I'm still waiting for Shantae: Risky's Revenge to come out here...

"[We have] nothing to announce at this time"

Translation: "We are going to release a Wii U Mario Kart 8 Premium Pack but we aren't going to announce it until close to Mario Kart 8's release date."

I would be all over this bundle if I could afford it. It may just be the thing which pushes me to get a black Wii U instead of a white one!

Eruptor looks so weird in that image!

Wow, that Mario Golf: World Tour promotion looks really awesome, especially since I'd like both games!

So...is this coming to the realm of Down Under?

"Those little birdies at Amazon…"
@MeddlingIdiot Ah, I see what you did there!

"I'm disappointed, it really should of been sooner"

@Damo I think it's supposed to be:
"I'm disappointed, it really should have been sooner"

Just trying to help.

So no Colosseum or XD soundtracks then?

So will this be coming to Australia and New Zealand as well?

It saddens me to think that there is still no representative for the Golden Sun series to join the roster. Isaac would make a perfect addition to the line-up, promoting him from humble Assist Trophy to fully-playable Brawler/Meleer/Smasher in a similar manner to Little Mac. Here's hoping that he is revealed in this new Direct broadcast.

Also, though far less hopefully, I'd like a revelation that Waluigi is, in fact, going to be a full character, and that "Assist Trophy" is just one of his abilities.

This news article caught me off-guard! I'm pleased that I didn't spend all my Stars on the Mario card deck; Kid Icarus: Uprising is much more fun, and I like the few cards I already own (wherever they are right now), so I jumped at the chance to get some more boosters!

A search on Google reveals that Virtual U is a real thing...and is, in fact, a simulation game which sees you running your own university.

@ThomasBW84 Congratulations!

@ThomasBW84 I thought so.

"this is the beginning of a franchise"
@ThomasBW84 But I thought it began on the Family Computer (in Japan, at least).

I'm all for being able to play GBA games on Wii U, but since I can't currently afford a Wii U...well, let's just say I'm a little upset.

@xevious I've bought toys from kids' meals by themselves in the past. It couldn't hurt to try asking.

Wait...I totally have that Yoshi Doll!

And here I am with barely 2000 Stars...

"it'll also arrive in Australia on 28th January for AU$6.50"
@ThomasBW84 That should read 28th February.

I woke up this morning and found my code in my email inbox. I'm downloading the game as we speak! Let the nostalgia juices flow through my mind as I play this classic!

Well, I won't be buying any GBA VC games for a loooooooong time. It's not because I'm refusing to on account of them not being on 3DS (although I'm in the "I'd rather they be on the 3DS" crowd), but merely because I will be unable to buy a Wii U for many months. Between the lack of a price cut in Australia, dental bills and my scuba course and gear, it's going to be a long wait.

Wow, 2500 Stars? That's the same price as the Game & Watch Collection games on Club Nintendo Down Under! Maybe the pricing structure works differently there than it does here.

Wow, this article's even more thorough than any information on a family history website.

@MKCustodial I'm sure you'd still be able to mix together everything in the Toy Box.

And I'd also like to see Marvel and Star Wars in the franchise.

Wait a minute...Tommy Refenes? Tommy RefeNES!

When I read the title I jumped to the conclusion that Mario Golf is finally going to be in the 3DS eShop in PAL territories. How wrong and disappointed I am...

Yet another Mii-based title from the creators of Wii Sports? Yes please!

Ah yes, James Newton... (Imagines him playing the latest games BEFORE their release date)

It's nice to see individuals in the gaming industry moving up to newer and better things. Best of luck to you, Chandra Nair.

(That name...it reminds me so much of a certain character from Magic: The Gathering...)

Well, that eliminates my theory of Zoroark replacing Lucario then. Glad to see its triumphant return to the series.

Uh...I count 11 games.

So...how much is it Down Under?

@Retro_on_theGo @Moorpheel Ah right, I forgot about the Game Boy Player-converted chiptunes. Still, it's going to be missing one track from the original GSC no matter what: the Wild Battle at Night tune.

So there are no plans to release soundtracks from the original versions of the Gen I or Gen II games? I'd even be happy with the soundtracks from the GCN games.

Even if this comes to Europe, I doubt we'll ever see it in Oceania.
