I want a new Game&Watch!

@Silly_G
Solrock and Lunatone could be imported from Gen VI games and were actually needed for a side quest in Sun and Moon

LIGHT SPOILER

In Captain Toad post-credits scene, the game was framed as a Super Mario 3D World prequel. They'll probably remove it or switch it with a SMO-themed one, so removing the SM3DW levels makes sense too.

@SMW
Looks like a sequel to Bubble Bobble/Parasol Stars, with just some changes to avoid lawsuits (like EXPAND instead of EXTEND). They even boast music by an ex Zuntata guy!!!

I suppose the developers are Italian, too, as the name is highly idiomatic: Santa Ragione being an expression for when you righteously beat someone 😊

@TreesenHauser Me too!

@Sir_JBizzle You forgot Vampire Killer Erotic Crush Saga!!;

I'm short on cash, but I'm tempted by OlliOlli... Probably should buy it on Vita, though.

Yup, I already played the first one but with that pricetag I cannot say no!!

I know I should pick Never Alone but I feel inexplicably drawn towards Funk of the Titans!

Skylanders Superchargers!!!
...
I know I know but, you see, I'm going through a "Skylanders phase" just now...

I just jumped into Skylanders thanks to a wonderfully discounted Wii Swap Force Dark Edition, and I'm finding it very funny (I love couch co-op games)... and now THIS!!! I'm seriously considering to pre-order a game for the very first time in my life...

@LemonSlice
I remember a scene in Hotel Dusk where you had to close the DS to advance the game... now I don't know how they would replicate THAT DS function...

Pyoro T (this game's Pyoto bonus game) is IMHO the best Pyoro game ever!!!

@Gorlokk
The best horror game I played is Silent Hill:Shattered Memories, where you are armed just with a flashlight and a smartphone!!! Even other good horror games, like Amnesia: Dark Descent leave you unarmed and defenceless. After all, if you can blast them to oblivion, you won't fear them so much.

I'm offended 'cause Mario stopped stereotyping my race (I'm Italian, mamma mia!) to start stereotyping other ones!!!!

@Emaan
'Cause it's the Internet!!!

It's actually very good, as Bowser looks puzzled, then briefly terrified as he sees the piranha plant and very happy for the heart explosion. I like it!!!!

Remember your PAL pals for Xmas, Nintendo!!!

I'm happy that amiibo are selling like hotcakes in your countries, but here in Italy I always see fully stocked stands.

Give us Duck Hunt already, Nintendo!!!! I even snatched the Wii Zapper back from my two-year-old nephew's toychest just for it!!!!

The Classic Controller was terrible for this game, wish it had the WiiU VC customization options... The game, however, was simply fantastic and my second favorite game on Wii (the first being its sequel! 😎)!!! GET BONUS!

The problem with EA and SEGA entering the mobile/tablet space is that they think they can reap everything using the same model as the console market, i.e. big budgets and big IP. But those things impress mainly us "gamers", which would buy those same games on a console paying ten times their price, while the mass market is mainly concerned with the last trendy social game and couldn't care less for the next iteration of Dead Space or Crazy Taxi.

I always wanted to try the Chibi-Robo series!!!! How much was the full game game priced in the States?

The Euro prices of Pacman Collection are 4,19€/6,99€, so the "full" price is the same of other GBA titles

@BooJoh
Urgh, it's bad!! Luckily I don't like the game and disinstalled it ages ago

I never played a Chibi game, but it sounds interesting. Maybe I'll pick it!

@memoryman3
Another Code was a graphic adventure/visual novel hybrid, which had an episode on DS and one on Wii, it was about an half-Japanese girl whose father dabbled in memory-altering trinkets. However the developer, Cing, closed a couple years ago so there will hardly be other episodes.

@kkslider5552000
Hey we Italians aren't like stereot... Mamma Mia! My pizza's cooling and I'm late for my mandolino lessons! Ciao compari!

@JakeOfAllTrades
Don't you know Mario Balotelli? He's a black Italian

The funniest thing is that Pocket Gamer's April Fool is about VR, too! They got "leaked information" about a Rovio VR headset dubbed the Eagle Eye

I already hear the music in my ears... Please SEGA make this gaijin happy and send this and Afterburner westward ASAP!

OK, three, two, one, let's go!!!
FRATELLI D'ITALIA/ L'ITALIA S'É DESTA/ DELL'ELMO DI SCIPIO/ S'É CINTA LA TESTA...
("Brothers of Italy, Italy has arisen, she donned Scipio's helmet"... This is the Italian National Anthem )

@AlexSora89 @randomname19
Ciao paesani!!!! We Italians are more than I thought here on NL!
BTW, I never heard of those guys, too. The only Italian-developed game I heard of was the (poor) Cid the Dummy.

@unrandomsam
Before January 31st, IIRC, you had to set it from a 3DS or, like me, link a WiiU one to your 3DS. So now I'm playing New Super Mario U ( got it for €19,90) and Super Mario Deluxe ( got it for nothing!) Maaaaaaaaaaaario is THE star!!!!

My code arrived on Valentine's Day.
I love you too, Nintendo!!! <3

@StarDust4Ever
Or maybe they lost faith in Japanese fans: looks like most of their money comes from Europe and the US these days

So... the WiiU's officially worse than the GameCube: we'll not even be graced by a Pac-Year...

@ToniK Well I suppose it's to' avoid image distortion
BTW great avatar, way to go!!

It's not SO easy, even in Super Dolphin mode: you've still got to figure the puzzles and find your way with absolutely no clues, and you can be crushed by ice blocks in the Hard Water level. On the other hand, I often thought that with finite air and health the game would be borderline impossible... When you have a game that the Japanese feel the need to dumb down for their country, you know you have a problem!

It's about time... What about SEGA&SNK consoles, BTW?

Finally Knytt Underground!!! I love the original game, so I'll happily buy this the moment they upload it!!!

I just downloaded it in Italy

Dark Void teaches that if you make a new-gen version and an 8-bit version of the same game, the new-gen one will pale in comparison...

@unrandomsam It sounds good. There's a sound test option and you should be able to choose the music to play with, but I haven't tested it yet. Of course in such a game you usualy go SHOOTSHOOTDODGEhey, nice musicDODGESHOOTDODGE

I bought this yesterday and it rocks!!!! Or maybe it's just nostalgia of the arcades of my youth...
@Windy Yeah, Outrun would be great in 3D!!! I miss it so much I would buy even just the Game Gear version!!!

Defenders of Oasis 2, maybe detailing the fight of Prince's ancestors against Ahriman and the Serpent King!!!!

Are the in-game arcades references to Namco classics like Dig Dug or Pac-Man itself? BTW I cannot believe I'm actually interested in this game: it screamed shovelware at the top of its lungs

I actually own the green pipe Mario (and two other ones, and Luigi, and Yoshi). As @kletro said, they were available in Italy for a couple months, with boxes folding in Mario'shat&moustache or Peach's wig&crown

Buon compleanno WiiU!!!
(that's just "happy birthday" in my strange European mother language )
