Even if Nintendo wanted to, it's not quite as easy as just giving everyone money back.

@Debo626 I get your point, but this is NL--a UK-based site. I don't think it's unreasonable to want to see UK prices alongside US prices.

A lot of gaming coverage is already framed from a US perspective, whether that's pricing, release dates/wider market discussions. That's understandable given the size and influence of the US market, but it doesn't necessarily make that viewpoint the only one.

It would be nice to see NL bring just a little more of its own perspective, rather than defaulting to the American framing that's already so common across the industry. Just my two cents, or should I say, two pence!

Good article. Not sure about quoting American $ prices all the time for a UK site, however. I know they think they dominate the world, but they don't need to be in every discussion.

Slow and steady allows you to appreciate what you have. The veritable buffet of games we have today isn't always a good thing. Great article.

Nintendo has always focused on fun and appealing broadly, rather than chasing trends and trying to impress. One reason why they're so successful!

And here I am thinking the games look excellent on handheld. I don't get it.

Lots of grey and black.

It won't be the last either. Gold Points gone, too. Hmm. Can't say I'm feeling enthusiastic right now. Could you prove me wrong, Nintendo? Or, well, I'll move on.

Cool, but that price... I'll pass!

'Nintendo knows you'll swallow it makes it worse'. I won't. If there's no replacement, I'll buy fewer games. Nice and simple.

This is genuinely a terrible move. Has arrogant Nintendo returned?

Come on, Nintendo, this is just lazy. It doesn't suit you, either. Glad I skipped.

Never expected it to have BC myself. You avoid disappointment that way. If it does, great.

An excellent remake of some true classics. Advance Wars 3+4 next, please.

Now we're talking. One of the best Nintendo franchises of all time.

It seems a tad whiny and overly bitter, but I agree full credits would have been even better.

I wouldn't personally call the show 'garbage'—it's far better and more skilfully produced than that—but I get your point about it being light entertainment!

As usual Tom, an excellent read that highlights some key points. I agree that the 3DS has little to worry about at this stage. However, the Wii U has a far more difficult battle ahead. It's a challenge that Nintendo can meet though, they just need to make all the right moves.

Pure filth!

'Game over, man! Game over!'

Some of these are gold, funny stuff James!

Very impressive visuals. I had to check the game wasn't multi-format it was that eye-pleasing. One to watch for sure.

Jealousy.

Great stuff. HOTD definitely had a funky soundtrack.

Well done guys. As a former member of staff I can safely say you are some of the best people I have ever worked with. Great site, keep it up.

What more really is there to say than wow?

War! Never been so much fun!

Now that was a game.

Thanks for that @Starboy91 . Yeah it's been a while haha, I should be around more often from now on. Right, anyway I'm off to play Rondo!

Massive fan of the Castlevania series but never played Rondo! Just one thing, the game has a built-in save option doesn't it? Could someone just confirm this for me.

This looks truly fantastic, thanks for this news James.

Well this came out of nowhere, lets hope it happens!

I wasn't aware of this it should help the game sell. Nice article James.

Personally I would like to see Nintendo take another crack at the new Disaster Day of Crisis IP. They really didn't help themselves with that game with little to no advertising. With a bit more polish that could be a great series. The first one while not mind blowing was quite a solid game in my opinion.

I don't really like the idea of no saving, then again Castlevania always was a hardcore affair. Konami the European release date better be soon, I'm hungry for more!

Cheers for that Prosody, the smaller games still have a good chance guys.

It's not my GOTY, however its easily in the top contenders for Wiiware GOTY. Maybe categorising them would be better so Wii GOTY and so on.

Thanks a lot everyone.

Not the best update, come on Mario Kart, Worms etc.

Great stuff, well done Nintendo!

@StarBoy91 Keep them coming!

Nicely done, look forward to the next.

Blimey, that's awesome.

What a beauty! Your a lucky lucky man James

Very disappointing on GAME's behalf.

JamieO No problem mate.
Good to see you agree Corbie!

Personally guys I would really rather like the next installment in the Paper Mario series and Metal Mario don't break the site!

@ JamieO Well written mate, very slick and stylish that.

You can never have too much Castlevania!

Too many games to play... Not enough time!

Great podcast as always Prosody.
