Wow. Did people really expect multiplayer? Haha... @Einherjar and @9th_Sage Glad some people are actually using their heads instead of quickly bashing Nintendo because they think they know everything and everything is easy to do. :T
Oh wow! These look really fun. Definitely getting Armillo, Stick it to the Man, Nihilumbra, and Teslagrad. Kinda interested in Cubemen 2, but will wait for more information on it.
If this limited edition 3DS, or the curtain call one, or the white MH4 3DS somehow makes it to the US, I don't care how many 3DS'es I own...I'll get them. +__+
Ooo! I want the Super Mario accessory box. Seems like I'll have a long day ahead of me full of filling out surveys. I really should start filling them in ASAP instead of just leaving them there. @_@;
Oh nice. People could also go to Target this week (Feb. 23 to Mar. 1) and purchase a 3DS XL and get a $30 gift card, which they could use towards one of those six games. Then hold off until March 1st to register them~ ;D The Limited Edition M&L:DT 3DS XL is also eligible for this gift card offer I think (according to Target's Weekly Ad online...) and it might even make the deal better since it comes pre-installed with the M&L:DT game and is the same price as a 3DS XL. Although it may not be as easy to find... since it's been out for a while.
Just bought some earlier today! +__+ So many games coming to the eShop that I want, so it'll be better for me to take advantage of this instead of putting money in later. Lol.
Oh man, I want it to release here as a physical copy, but at the same time I don't. Lol, I already have the first one downloaded, but I would totally double dip if it did... I love physical copies and the box art looks very nice.
@zeldazero But in your previous posts, you're saying that it should be released for/be available on BOTH systems. If it was an exclusive, yes people would probably go out to get a Wii U, but you weren't saying that. So would a huge majority go out and buy a Wii U just to play it if it's available for the 3DS that they already own? No, as Yomerodes had just shown with another game. You also didn't answer my question about how the GameCube did with its Game Boy Player. I didn't see that many people rushing out to buy a GameCube. Also, I do think that there are plenty of good games that has been released for the PS Vita in Japan, but that still didn't make the PS Vita TV any more popular even if it was cheap and could play games on the TV.
Of course if you were to switch the situations about the amount of games around, then it would sound better, but then the 3DS would be the one doing terribly. So either way, I don't see the point you're trying to make by stating that because one of them would still be doing bad so the problem isn't even solved.
Also, the DS games being available on the Wii U makes sense because currently, Nintendo is not selling anymore DSes or developing for it. Nintendo is trying to sell the 3DS also, not just the Wii U. (EDIT: The addition of some sort of 3DS adapter for the Wii U may benefit some people, but the majority most likely wouldn't be rushing out to get a Wii U and would still go for the 3DS since it's at a lower price point if they were interested in portability and/or majority of the 3DS games. Even with remote play for the PS4 and PS Vita, people aren't rushing out to buy a PS Vita.)
EDIT: But we're getting incredibly off topic. I was only trying to tell you that I think you're putting the blame on the wrong company for DQM2 being put on the 3DS, so I will just stop here because I'm no expert on this stuff.
@zeldazero So because it's a Nintendo console, it's Nintendo's fault if SE wants to publish the game on the 3DS. Okay. I definitely still think you're putting the blame on the wrong company for this one. So even if Square Enix doesn't want to develop for the Wii U because it might not make them money, it doesn't matter and they shouldn’t be given that choice of what system they can develop for? The 3DS is by far more popular than the Wii U in Japan right now and I doubt releasing the game on both systems would make a difference.
Should they just forget about making the game at all then if SE shouldn't be allowed to put the game on the 3DS if it isn't made available for the Wii U? That wouldn't be good for Nintendo either. That would probably just ruin 3rd party support for the 3DS and then they may have two failing systems on their hands. I doubt it would be a 'quick port' from the 3DS to the Wii U since the two systems are so different… it would still take time and money. And isn't the reason why PS4 games are playable on the PS Vita because of Remote Play which is done through streaming? So it's not exactly a port that game developers would have to make for the PS4 and PS Vita. Pretty sure the 3DS and Wii U isn't set up like that.
Why should every game be playable on both platforms? Systems need their own exclusives to distinguish themselves from the other systems. Would a majority of the people really go out and buy a Wii U just to play DQM2 if they already had a 3DS that could play it as well? Not everyone is made out of money. The 3DS game would probably be cheaper too. What about the GameCube? Was that a console to have when you were able to play GB/GBC/GBA games on it? Look at the PS Vita TV. Is that selling well? Most likely people who want such things are not the majority, but a vocal minority.
@zeldazero Are you talking about DQM2? If you are, then how is it exactly a 'bad decision by Nintendo' that the game is on the 3DS? The game isn't developed or published by Nintendo if i recall correctly, it's by Square Enix. So why exactly is it Nintendo's fault that it is on the 3DS? Lol. Yeah, Wii U isn't doing well and Nintendo is partly to blame, but I'm getting tired of hearing people blame them for other things not even in their control.
Currently doing all my surveys that I have piled up. LOL. I really need to start doing them right away instead of letting them pile up.. I should be studying for finals instead of this, but oh wells.
I love this game! I played it so much when it released and then stopped for a few months (Eek! So many weeds to pull!). Now I'm back to playing it daily. Haha. It always sucks me back in... and my never ending backlog continues to increase...
@DarkLloyd Nope, don't think so. I always keep my Wii U up to date with updates. Just checked if there were any updates for my Wii U before I updated my 3DS and afterwards and I don't think there was any.
@DarkLloyd
Choose the option to link with an existing NNID (i think under it it says something about if you have a Wii U... or something. Can't recall very well. LOL). It asked me for my Wii U NNID (make sure you spell it correctly!), password (if you had one set up for your Wii U NNID I guess), and email.
I think everything is explained very well when you go through it, so just read it carefully. My memory sucks apparently since I only did it not too long ago, but I can't recall very well what I just did.
