@thehoppypoppy People all over Steam have been picking up Stardew Valley after a few YouTubers shared their views on this recently released indie title.

Nintendo of America have been releasing every Wii U Mario game in red cases since late 2013, and then there's the new retail displays that have been appearing among major U.S. retailers since September 2015: http://nintendonews.com/news/general/retailers-display-classic-red-nintendo-logo-banners/

It seems Nintendo are indeed gradually prepping for a new branding for the upcoming generation.

Am I the only one who is actually more interested in Nintendo of America's new YouTube thumbnail template?

This is an understandable situation though. Twelve years of official technical support is nothing to snuff at. The original Famicom continued to have official technical support until 2000!

@RoboBubble The Nintendo 3DS version of Myst is pretty much a lazy port of the Nintendo DS version. They only adjusted the display for the wider top screen, and that's pretty much it!

The vast majority of DSiWare titles are already available on the Nintendo eShop for the Nintendo 3DS, but I think some people are gonna miss those very few apps that didn't make it yet. Additionally, the people who still use the Nintendo DSi (XL) console and haven't upgraded yet to the next generation for some reason are gonna lose out by then. I knew a few of those people!

Losing the original Nintendo DSi Shop means losing out on the very few apps that featured fun stuff even the Nintendo 3DS family actually lacks!

I doubt Nintendo may plan to close the Wii Shop Channel anytime soon, as it is still functional on Wii U consoles, and WiiWare games are still stuck to it for the time being. Not to mention the much bigger library of older Wii Virtual Console titles is also tied to the Wii Shop Channel.

Unity? Didn't they emphasise in the Kickstarter that the game is based on the Unreal Engine 4, which is the main reason why they partnered with another developer to work on the Wii U version?

I thought Activision had long lost their licence for James Bond 007, especially after the flop that was 007 Legends, and Eon Productions are not giving away their properties to any other party at the moment, keeping all marketing efforts in-house.

Nintendo of Europe sure are moving things along for the PAL region countries, but what about those living the U.S.-based NTSC region countries?

I thought Nintendo of America were working on their actual official online store to make it on par with Nintendo UK's amazing official online store.

@Megumi There are also Project X Zone and Project X Zone 2.

I don't understand why is this always an issue. Although Link was always technically male, he always looked so androgynous ever since The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. I know a few people whom actually mistaken Link for a girl before, but of course, those same people thought the character is "Zelda".

Why choose this game over a digital download of Wii Sports Club: Bowling?

Additionally, the fact this cover is using an older version of the ESRB rating template makes me sooooo suspicious.

I am not sure why these data packs are such a big deal, considering PlayStation 4 and Xbox One owners have to install much larger data bases for some of their newer games on the consoles' native hard disks. And although these consoles offer so much space in comparison, they sorta use it up so quickly!

One of the strengths of the Wii U, Nintendo's eight generation console, is that people can still play games directly from disc-reading rather than installing huge chunks of base data, and of course, as useful as those data packs are for Xenoblade Chronicles X, they are still completely optional!

Nikki is also the host of a Japan-only Nintendo 3DS app, which used to be exclusively available to Club Nintendo members, called ニッキーの旅するクイズ (Nikki's Travel Quiz). Of course, since Club Nintendo is no longer available, consequently the app is no longer being distributed.

Worst choice of dog breeds ever! Seriously, all the featured characters have short hairs and floppy ears, and the dogs were totally opposite of that!

I don't even care if it was even so cute beyond compare - I really don't like seeing little kids confused over the comparisons between the characters and real-life counters!

Eight languages could be the usual European five (English, French, German, Italian, Spanish) as well as Japanese, Korean, and Chinese. 100 countries could refer to all the territories that have major support from both the App Store and Google Play.

In regards to the bold claims by Nintendo's new president and CEO, I really do believe Nintendo can do its best to grasp at so much financial stability from its mobile business in the coming years, if at least not reach to Wii and Nintendo DS levels of success. People often forget that Nintendo isn't some small company, and has been around for more than a century and a quarter!

I presume the game was in development since 1995, and launched two years later. The gaming market was a lot different back then, and obviously things have really changed overtime, even for Nintendo that they're now willingly publishing games with unspeakable forms of violence and horror.

The Wii U is finally gaining momentum in the right direction like the Nintendo 3DS before it, albeit more slowly. I have a feeling the Wii U will be able to outsell the GameCube's lifetime sales at least.

@Mega719 Unfortunately, Telltale Games are working hard to release Minecraft: Story Mode first, and the Wii U version is taking a while after being released on the other platforms the game was initially announced for.

I already have all the mentioned games in their original Wii disc forms, so there is nothing exciting for me here personally.

How can they add the Shovel Knight character in Super Smash Bros. if the game itself wasn't even released in Japan yet? Yes, I am aware it is already confirmed to be released there, but it's not yet there anyway.

Despite this PC port, the Wii U version of Sonic Lost World still has value on its own merit for its two Nintendo-themed free DLC stages.

Whilst it hasn't been proven that "Totaka's Song" is available on every game the sound designer worked on, it should become pretty standard for the song to appear in every major Animal Crossing title considering it is one of K.K. Slider's usual songs, and we all know what his Japanese name とたけけ (Totakeke) is based on you-know-who.

All the songs in this title are based on Disney Channel shows and TV movies rather than Disney's feature films. Besides, "Let It Go" is a far bigger hit that it is over mainstream music radios, and this is apparently as it is on the main entry Just Dance 2016.

Is it translated? Yes. But is it localised to look like an official release? After looking at the video for a few minutes, that's very far from the thruth, I'm afraid.

@rcerboss2 Albeit The Lego Movie Batman is the most prominent, the game is big enough to actually feature multiple versions of Batman!

And so, a new meme was born!

What?! Senran Kagura 2: Deep Crimson is NOT a Nintendo eShop-exclusive in North America, otherwise this Amazon listing would be a complete lie! Get your facts straight, Nintendo Life!

Doesn't PAL region Nintendo 3DS owners have the option to purchase Hello Kitty HOME Menu themes though? It is very likely this will get released outside Japan.

Did the developer simply decide not the change the animation of the ending sequence in the first game's HD remake with Chieftain Bob just for the sake of a tongue-in-cheek (pun not intended) sort of humour?

Albeit unlikely, I am wondering whether you are capable of voicing Mario and other characters in other languages if need to. Japanese may be a stretch, but I'm thinking of the usual four languages Nintendo games are generally available in: French, Spanish, German, and Italian.

I just tried this app on my super-outdated iPhone 4, which is still technically superior to the Nintendo 3DS, and the app's animations are freakishly sluggish! I'm still sticking to the Nintendo 3DS version for many other reasons though, chief among them is how far I managed to progress. I cannot believe the Great Ball cost 3500 coins in the iOS version, instead of 2500 coins like on the Nintendo 3DS! Additionally, why is the audio so terrible on the iOS version?

Just in time for my 30th birthday! Gosh, I'm so old!

I already own the original disc version for Sin & Punishment: Star Successor, although I always wanted to experience the original Nintendo 64 title as well, and I could not acquire the title from the Wii Shop Channel directly. The Nintendo eShop release will be an easier affair for me however.

I sure hope this gets a standard release in the North American Nintendo eShop eventually like they did with the Photos With Mario app.

I'm aware this game is on the Nintendo 3DS, but I feel I should play it on the Wii U instead. However, I've yet to get the console itself due to financial situations.

This is technically a Nintendo 3DS game first, and Nintendo said they're not porting existing titles from their own platforms to mobile. The mobile app was published by The Pokémon Company themselves, therefore this is not part of the DeNA thing.

I really hope SEGA considers bringing back their Virtual Console games to the Wii U eShop, and add to the collection with Saturn and Dreamcast titles, albeit some of their own Dreamcast titles were also re-released on the GameCube, but demand for GameCube Virtual Console games has been on-going for a long time anyway.

It is amazing I managed to get all three "Operation Rainfall" games as Wii discs at the earliest, despite my financial status at the time.

I managed to snag a copy of Wii Music from a bargain bin just a couple of years ago. I didn't know what to expect at the time, but I heard good things about this game, as well as disappointing things.

While I am not tone deaf, I do have issues making good music, despite having supposedly mainstream software for such a task - I totally stink at it! But the game was a breath of fresh air in its approach towards anyone being able to play music. Whilst it is not really the same, I admit, I could not help but enjoy my moments playing around with most game modes at my own leisure without much thought to it. The game even helped me understand a bit of music theory. Okay, so I still am terrible with making my own music, but I would gladly take on Wii Music at any time.

@Uberchu Although the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service is officially no more, there are still a handful of third-party titles on Wii that remain online-enabled since they're being handled by their own servers, such as FIFA 12 to 15, the last two Call of Duty games (Black Ops and Modern Warefare 3), and even Dragon Quest X.

@KoiTenchi I was thinking the very same thing!

Am I the only person who believes this compilation is a short-term, one-hit-wonder for the contemporary Rare and the Xbox One's limited appeal?

@ikki5 Like I just said, I am suspicious of the fact that the Wii U cover is lacking a Nintendo Network logo, despite that statement.

What's with 505 Games releasing games on Nintendo's consoles without any online support whatsoever?! The Nintendo 3DS version's online multiplayer should be integral to the experience. I am suspicious of the fact there is no Nintendo Network logo on that Wii U cover.

In addition, will there be a cross-save support for both versions?

For some reason, I always felt the Virtual Boy's 3D depth of field is actually a lot better than the Nintendo 3DS. I wonder if this has to do with the fact that the console has specialised eye visors, whilst the Nintendo 3DS simply depends on a parallax screen technology, which is not as effective for a visually "popping" 3D effect.

Am I right in saying that DigiPen and Nintendo have a long history together ever since the foundation of the institution?

I wish Nintendo would actually pay the Middle East some more attention in some way notable.

Wasn't it Pokémon Art Academy the first Nintendo 3DS game to support native Miiverse image posting?

Upon reading the title, it took my mind several minutes to process this statement out of the shock. Oh my gosh!

For me, this is beyond mind-boggling, and I am thinking what will happen to the company in the long run. Great condolences to his family though. May he rest in peace.
