Wasn't it already established that Tingle is into women when the character shown some interest in the equally odd Pinkle from Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland? Although, to be fair, she did look a little masculine, and her outfit works nicely for a drag queen. Still, she was a woman all right.

I kinda already have both titles which can still be played on my Wii console.

Isn't there a controversy involving Evolve's ridiculous day-one DLC, and its misguided season pass content? In other news, it is great to hear about Nintendo's fortunes picking up in the United Kingdom.

In case there are a few DSiWare games and apps available on the old system's native memory (due to the fact DSiWare cannot be launched directly from the SD card), it is imperative to transfer all DSiWare to the SD card prior to transferring system data between old and New systems?

Wasn't Ace Combat Assault Horizon Legacy+ already released on Wednesday? I'm another person who's picking up a copy of Majora's Mask 3D from retail instead.

Wasn't the Samurott distribution supposed to debut, like, five days ago?

Gosh! I didn't know American football would matter to a Nintendo news website based in the United Kingdom.

I am unlikely getting this sequel. I loved the original game on my Nintendo 3DS, but the difficulty was already too great for my own gaming caliber, and almost drove me into madness!

Personally, I have been wondering what became of Ubisoft's supposed Wii U version for their free-to-play title Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Phantoms.

I personally got both instalments of Fluidity, albeit I technically did not buy either one - managed to get them during periodic Club Nintendo give-aways. I really enjoyed both titles, but I would not have been aware of it and how awesome it is if Nintendo hasn't originally released a demo version of the first game on WiiWare.

I feel so fortunate I mastered the art of "cross-eyed 3D" viewing, especially with a screen that is stretched just right for the job. I can see the 3D effect so clearly without blurs and without any need to fully focus on it, and it looks so awesome - I am sure I wouldn't be disappointed either if my Nintendo 3DS could do the same job for me in any case.

Am I the only person bothered by the fact that iJustine acted like a typical Xbox/PlayStation gamer getting all giddy about notable Nintendo products that she should know about as a gaming journalist? Quite frankly, I even question her journalistic credibility especially since some of her questions towards a busy man like Miyamoto felt very trivial. We may have gotten a few good points, but it still does not change the fact it was a horridly performed interview.

I suspect this interview wouldn't have happened if Nintendo didn't make such a huge mind-blowing impression at the recent Game Awards ceremony.

I really dunno why so many gaming companies are lately obliged to push their IPs for more mainstream audiences via other mediums. Even when a few film adaptations are commercial successes, it doesn't mean they are respectable films with critical successes, and those listed ever received either mixed or bad reviews.

Wasn't the cancelled Super Mario Spikers game concept specifically touched upon by Nintendo Life only a few months back?

Why didn't Nintendo Life use this following new teaser trailer that specifically announces the game for the Wii U, Nintendo 3DS, and Xbox One?

@mr12calvin You would be able to login the same Nintendo Network ID account you have just fine on the new console if you successfully did the System Transfer correctly in the System Settings, and the new console will also be able to read all the games and save files you have on your SD card, even if you transferred all data from a regular SD card to a Micro one, as long as you managed the System Transfer to the new console.

By the way, I just learned from someone that apparently the New Nintendo 3DS cannot be registered on Club Nintendo, either manually (like on older consoles) or digitally (like on the Wii U). I don't know if the situation would be different in the European release, but for now people cannot register the console on Club Nintendo anyway, not in Australia or Japan.

We'll see how the Wii U console sales will fare after Super Smash Bros. for Wii U releases in Japan on December 6. It might even surprise us!

@Blast They kinda already announced Persona 5 for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4.

Day one purchase on my Nintendo 3DS! I love adorable films like this about video game characters, and when I seen the shorts in glorious 3D (albeit on a small resolution screen), I had no regrets!

Huh! A gaming retail chain can do stuff like that? I have not heard of such things before.

@seb5049 You do realise the ESRB rated this game as E10+ for North American audiences, which made the the ten-year-old girl legitimately eligible to play this game, and be featured on a solicited company's video, if she was actually "playing" it. Of course, there are many people who do not usually care for age ratings, but age ratings should be there anyway as it is legally required in many countries now.

In the earlier days with my Nintendo 3DS, I used to use it a lot like a portable music player. Unfortunately, I cannot place too many MP3 files on my SD card nowadays as I need more space for downloadable games and apps, since I'm now starting to purchase more of them overtime.

I'm personally wondering what is Ubisoft's stance on this issue. After all, they're the ones who published the game in the retail space, although it is likely the developer's responsibility to re-release it on the eShop.

Woah! These nominations a very interesting. Nothing about Watch_Dogs at all though!

@mr12calvin Flipnote Studio 3D is an eShop app that remains Japan-exclusive to this day, and releasing the New Nintendo 3DS will not affect that. If the app were to be available, it would have been available for ALL Nintendo 3DS owners anyway.

Any Nintendo hardware released in Australia is technically completely identical to any Nintendo hardware released in Europe. This is why games bought in either regions are cross-compatible, and both regions share the same eShop and Nintendo Network servers. If you happen to buy a console from Australia, and change its country settings to the Netherlands, it will work as normally as any console bought locally (language settings to Dutch should be there as well). The only real difference between buying from Europe and Australia is the packaging, where the console serial codes and Club Nintendo PINs are not cross-region compatible unfortunately. You might also have problems with the official customer service support in that department if need be, as your Australian-console would legally be an 'import', despite compatibility.

No way! I was just thinking about and re-discovering this app a few days ago! Supposedly, people thought it will never leave Japan or something!

Am I the only one bothered by the fact that Bloomberg were flashing Nintendo's financial and sales charts having a descending flow in the past five years? This sorta urks me as general audiences may get the wrong idea about Nintendo's situation in the market.

I wonder if HullBreach Studios made any kind of deals with Nexis Games so that this app can be used as a supported utility for the latter's upcoming UCraft game.

I'm thinking there could still be a chance Ubisoft may actually have their own amiibo support for some of their older titles such as Rayman Legends, just like how it was demonstrated in the 2012 leaked concept trailer for the game! If applying amiibo support for older titles just require an update patch, then it could actually be done, and the Wii U version of the game can become unique once again, if not exclusive.

Why is this article hinting that the Eon Ticket is the only method of getting either legendary Eon Pokémon? This may have been the case in the original games, but now players can meet and capture a version exclusive Eon Pokémon via normal gameplay without any special items. This time around the Eon Ticket is only an in-game method of getting the other Eon Pokémon from the version exclusive.

Nintendo Life! Look at all the sad, confused oblivious people commenting here! I AM DISAPPOINT!

A ban so long that even our great grandchildren will be old, senile people by the time the ban is lifted! Hoo!

Am I the only person who isn't that concerned about Dyack's shenanigans and rather surprised at the fact there is a new company now? I mean, what did become of Precursor Games, the ones whom were actually working on the Shadow of the Eternals game?

What sorcery is this!? Activision retail titles finally reaching the eShop!? Where have they been before!? That is what I really wanna know!

This is likely going to be my first game in the Persona series. I hope I'll be able to get a copy despite its release window.

I'm thinking maybe the peripheral could still technically work with other software, but Nintendo needs to patch their Wii U system software first before the adapter becomes compatible. This is what I can theorise, at least, as Super Smash Bros. for Wii U may be programmed to be compatible by default.

@Sakura Twilight Princess was originally being developed for the GameCube, but apparently Nintendo left out any traces of the traditional control from the Wii version so that people were obliged to try out the newly released motion controls which drove the crazy sales of the Wii at the time. They even mirrored the whole game to make Link right-handed like the player majority. The controls were okay, but felt pretty much "thrown-in" in that case. I'm personally so glad I finished the GameCube version first - the game is so awesome, and I didn't want the awkward Wii Remote controls to ruin my first game experience.

Nintendo, however, tailored Skyward Sword specifically around Wii Remote and Nunchuk control handling, and also requiring Wii MotionPlus for the extra accuracy of movements (highly recommended to use a Wii Remote Plus instead of Wii MotionPlus attachment). When you play the game, you will realise how much different and intuitive it is from the controls of the Wii version of Twilight Princess. It takes a while to get used to it, but once you're there you will be loving the control style of this game!

Since the current Virtual Console titles already support those traditional Wii/Wii U game pads, it is very likely they will all support the GameCube controller as well. This doesn't really indicate that Nintendo will re-release GameCube games soon, but it is a step in the right direction and we will be prepared for it.

@Sakura Nintendo developed The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword to specifically work with the Wii MotionPlus technology and demonstrate its potential in a "hardcore" game, and it heavily depends on it. In fact, the gameplay style and set-up makes it impossible for the game to work with traditional controls.

I wonder if this game is playable by anyone who has not played any Persona game before. After all, not everybody can have access to PlayStation consoles, let alone the games.

Next thing you'll know people would be complaining that Devil's Third is not coming to their PlayStations or Xboxs either.

eBay wasn't the only place selling off the download codes - on the Twitch live-stream itself there were so many people demanding codes, and a few others were asking for money in exchange for these limited codes.

Shame on you, Mr. Whitehead, for shamelessly plugging a totally off-topic article, about a new type of kids' Sega-made arcade cabinet that is never even leaving Japan, with a "probably not coming to Wii U" phrase.

If you wanted to express your love for Sega, and the sand-like substance that produces interactive wacky coloured lights, you could have honestly said so, and we would have forgiven you since the promo video looks so cute.

I do not understand what's with The Pokémon Company and Pokémon distribution using tangible serial codes in only select stores in select countries. What about Pokémon fans in other countries who had also desired these rare Pokémon?

I'm thinking this is only coming to the Wii U simply because the HD version is also going to be available for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Who says the competition doesn't get the same type of shovelware?

I believe whatever delayed of the Wii U version prompted the developers to cancel the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions in favour of their respective successors, which actually are technically closer to a contemporary PC-like structural environment than their predecessors.

I'm no engineer, but I have a feeling the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions are really ported from the PC version development, and easily optimised for each hardware, whilst the Wii U version remains a ground-up, independent development from the other versions, especially attributing to its more unique hardware elements like the GamePad. Also, keep in mind while the game is still coming to PC in November, it won't be SteamOS-ready yet, which was also delayed alongside the Wii U release.

I have a feeling their old misplaced grudge against Nintendo caused quite a stir with their more savvy supporters. Imagine getting scolded by your own audience for such foolish and historically misconceived reasons.

I would never trust the mindset of a bunch of a development group who can simply misspell the title of the Mortal Kombat franchise - a really big series nowadays. They even called it "Nintendo's", which is weird considering Nintendo censored the first game, and Sega's Mortal Kombat ports were more popular, I believe. These people obviously haven't seen Miyamoto's Project Guard demo at E3 2014.

I was really stunned when the news broke. He was one the few actors I knew by name at a really early stage of my childhood, albeit I probably didn't know he was the Genie in Disney's Aladdin at the time, one of my favourite childhood films.

It's strange how our local movie channel suddenly changed their schedules as tribute to the man, only to broadcast his less prominent roles in the films Fathers' Day, The Fisher King, and Insomnia. Seriously!? There are far better films that represent the man's best works.

@Kyloctopus Bandai Namco Games is not the legal publisher of this game, but rather the distribution partner. It really helps to have a big company like Bandai Namco assist you in getting your game all around, especially the European region, since they provide this service as well as to many other developers and small-time publishers based in the United States. If you read the FAQ, Slightly Mad Studios are self-publishing the game all right.

Anyone else notice all the Cosplay Pikachu are female, and all of them have black-tipped tails? I think someone should be concerned about these tiny details.

@eaglebob345 @Ootfan98 Actually, if you looked in the eShop hard enough, you'll notice that not a single Activision-published retail title is available on the eShop, not even their licensed games! In fact, Activision, and probably 505 Games as well, are the only two publishers who has not bothered releasing any retail game on the Nintendo eShop on either Wii U or even the Nintendo 3DS!

300 Play Coins for each trophy without a sale?! I'd rather kill myself trying to achieve these trophies by default standards than spend my entire Play Coin allowance!
