@TreesenHauser Those only talked about the Nintendo EAD teams. Not their second party companies like GameFreak, Monolift, Retro and Intelligent Systems. FE is made by Intelligent Systems.
@zeldagaymer93 Yeah, the 3DS is selling terribly in NA compared to their other handhelds, and the Wii U could be doing a whole lot better. Hopefully Nintendo forces their American unit to market their hardware and software better, or replace them with competent people.
@prufessor_oak Have fun with your bricked console. @Sir_JBizzle, no you put the GC game in your original Wii, then you use that program to download the game on an SD card, then use the Wii U system transfer to get the game on your Wii U via Wii Mode.
Unfortunately, the audience were like, "Ah, Mario, I remember that old thing. Too bad they don't make 'em anymore." Instead of, "Ah, Mario, I should get a Wii U with 3D World."
@FernandoMachado Maybe the game data was poorly coded onto that disc. Disc are mass produced, so an error can happen. My MK8 disc has bumpy edges while my other Wii U discs have smooth edges.
I think the Wii U will be at 9.5 million units sold at the end of the year, and if Nintendo keeps releasing games on a steady basis, it should get to 25 million, by the end of it's life, again that's if they release games on a steady basis.
@Joruus_Cbaoth Can you see the game that you spent 2+ years making? Can we see the 51+ characters in your game? Can we see the 1080p resolution and 60fps? Can you see all the extras, you put into the game? Can we see the beautiful pre-rendered cutscenes?
What? You didn't create anything of the sort? Then stop being an ungrateful person.
@Ernest_The_Crab I have no idea what you're saying, but it's paid DLC, because if you own the Wii U version and you want Mewtwo, you'd have to buy the 3DS version to get him, which is $40.
@Captain_Toad Nope, they said in the Direct that you only get Mewtwo by having both versions on the game. Never in the direct did they say you could pay for him if you had one version.
That's what Reggie gets for insulting the competition. I thought SEGA was the only one that insulted the competition, but I guess not.
I just hope we don't get a PS commercial of some guy shooting a Wii U with a rifle, or a Wii U commercial of some guy throwing an XBox One out the window.
They really shouldn't have named her Toadette if it doesn't have a specified gender, but maybe they didn't tell NOA that Toads were genderless when they named her that.
Why use the WaveBird? The point of the adapter is to play with wired controllers so there's zero input lag. If you're playing with a WaveBird, you might as well play with a Pro Controller or those GCN controllers that plug in the Wiimote.
Very underrated game. If you haven't bought Super Mario Kart, buy this instead. you get Super Circuit, and Super Mario Kart together for $7.99. The only problem is that the music for the SNES tracks are awful, so unless you REALLY hate bad music, then you'll only need this.
Only 17 GB? I was expecting it to push the media format, like how Melee was 1.3 GB on a 1.5 GB disc, and how Brawl exceeded the Wii's disc size making it a dual layered disc. Guess the lack of FMV made the file size shorter than expected.

I wonder how much this defective amiibo will sell for?

Thanks NOA.

Re: Research Firm's Black Friday Data Shows Wii U Lagging Behind in Sales
@drewb0203 People who don't own a 3DS do, because they never played the game, for obvious reasons.

Shame, the subways in my town uses swipe cards.

Re: Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Storm Japanese Charts, New 3DS Sales Climb in Unison
@Peach64 Well since Black & White, Pokemon has sold better in Japan than in North America, also there's more 3DS owners in Japan than there are in NA.

Re: Super Smash Bros. for Wii U Sells Nearly 500,000 Copies on Launch Weekend, Sets US Record
Fantastic, I expect there to be a huge shift in Wii U sales in December since a lot of people are probably getting one for Christmas.
Re: Guide: The Best Black Friday Nintendo Deals in the US
@mostro328 Look at the Best Buy bundle. They're offering you a $529.95 offer for just $359.97.

Re: Mario Kart 8 Scoops Best Game Prize at British Academy Children’s Awards
@sinalefa The awards are held before the year ends, so games that came out late in the year don't get nominated.
Re: Super Smash Bros. for Wii U GameCube Controller Adapter Sold Out Already in Most US Stores
That's what happens when GameStop only puts 5 up for stock with over 200 people lining up at midnight.
Re: Talking Point: Super Smash Bros. Can Finally Reach Its Money-Spinning Potential
I think the Wii U will be at 9.5 million units sold at the end of the year, and if Nintendo keeps releasing games on a steady basis, it should get to 25 million, by the end of it's life, again that's if they release games on a steady basis.
Re: Anniversary: The Nintendo DS is Now 10 Years Old
The Super Nintendo is also 24 years old today.
Re: Nintendo Secures Plenty of Nominations in The Game Awards 2014
@Ryu_Niiyama Ikr. Next year, they'll have "Best Games that Weren't Buggy on Release"
Re: New Super Mario Bros. Wii Hits 10 Million Sales Mark In The US
@Grumblevolcano Yes, the Wii U can play Wii games, so people who never owned a Wii can play a backlog of games.
But everyone should hurry before they take them out of stores and start costing $90+ online like GameCube games.

Re: Masahiro Sakurai Explains Why Mewtwo Isn't Paid DLC in Smash Bros.
It IS paid DLC. The DLC will cost $40, $240, or $360 depending on what system you have or don't have.
EDIT: But if you wanted to get both versions of the game, then I guess it's free for you.

Nice Wii U bump. And the XBone sold over 2,000 units? That's a huge achievement.

Re: Video: Nintendo Releases Two Snappy amiibo TV Commercials
@MrWalkieTalkie Family and children networks advertise PG-13 rated movies, so I don't see why they wouldn't advertise a T rated game.
Re: Video: Nintendo Releases Two Snappy amiibo TV Commercials
Guess Hyrule Warriors doesn't exist anymore.
Re: Captain Toad Producer Says Nintendo Never Fully Considered Gender with Toads
They really shouldn't have named her Toadette if it doesn't have a specified gender, but maybe they didn't tell NOA that Toads were genderless when they named her that.
Re: The November Club Nintendo Rewards Are Now Up For Grabs
They could have at least offered Super Smash Bros. for the N64. They offered Mario Kart 64 the month Mario Kart 8 released.

Not if a Nintendo update has anything to say about it.

Re: Mario Kart 8 Software Update and DLC Available Now
Thank goodness, I was worried that it wouldn't show up until 12PM, because I had to leave for class at that time.
Re: Sonic Boom Exploit Allows Players to Skip Large Sections of the Game
Still not as bad as Assassin's Creed Unity. Sad how a licensed kid show game is less awful than an "official" AAA game.
Re: Super Smash Bros. for Wii U Pre-Purchase and Pre-Load Now Available on the eShop
Europe has more languages so file sizes there are usually higher than NA.

Re: Video: Nintendo's Wii U Holiday Commercial Keeps It In The Family
It's an okay commercial. Much better than the ones from 2013 that made it seem like a little kids toy.
Now make one with adults at the forefront playing Hyrule Warriors or Smash Bros.
Re: Rodea the Sky Soldier Now Flying Into a Spring 2015 Release in Japan, for Wii U and 3DS
Looks cool. Hope it comes to the US.
Re: Shulk amiibo Listed as GameStop Exclusive in the US

Re: Nintendo Outlines Confusing amiibo Save Data Limitations
@S-Miyahon The PS3 in 2006 had 60GB, not 500GB. But 60 is still better than 32.
Re: Nintendo Reveals 11 amiibo Super Smash Bros. Figures Hitting in Early 2015
Getting Toon Link. Hopefully thay add something to Wind Waker.
Re: Video: Nintendo Unleashes a Super Smash Bros. for Wii U TV Commercial
Still a better commercial than the Melee one.
