Really happy about this.

I really want this game. But one thing that disturbs me and often makes me question my desire is in the character. The middle person in the picture. That hair. Why does it freak me out?

Yes! So can't wait for this. The original is possibly my favourite 3DS game. This looks even better!

This looks hilarious!

This was at the top of my list for more Sega 3D classics. I loved Super Hang On, so I know I will love this too.

I think Eurogamer gave this a 4/10...

EU please! This remake has been on my radar since it was first announced. Never played the original, but it looks brilliant.

Makes me sad they're not coming to the 3DS.

I will definitely get this. I'm a big fan of Football Manager so while this won't offer anywhere near the depth, it'll still be a great portable, fun title.

Not sure I care for the Mii inclusion and to be honest, I'm worried it's going to be closer to Mario Tennis Open than I initially believed. That game was such an horrific let down. I'd rather have levelling up based on experience rather than buying clothing and they didn't show anything off to suggest it would be RPG-like.

If this is true, I'm hoping it means Yoshi's New Island isn't as mediocre as it first appears. I doubt they'd bundle in a naff game, it could alienate new customers.

I loved Rune Factory 3. It was my favourite DS game. I was actually gutted when 4 was cancelled over here. I so so so so hope another publisher comes along to take the reigns.

I'm hardly the biggest Sonic fan out there, but I think it's safe to say that Knuckles' design is almost universally disliked.

The times I have played Sonic games, I loved Knuckles, he was the coolest and my favourite character. Now he just looks silly.

Link would have been nice

Looking forward to playing this for the first time. Hopefully it won't be long until it's on the EU store.

Will definitely buy both. Can't wait for Gunlord.

sigh

It's really not though is it? Of all the children's/mini game compilations/shovelware games, Skyward Sword is not one of the worst games on the Wii is it?

I still don't get when Japanese gamers aren't big fans of Zelda.

Well I'm looking forward to it. How can one complain? It's free!

Why do I always eagerly anticipate this weekly news update? It just seems to get worse and worse this past month. Every week I've said "Oh well, should be better next time". But nope.

Seriously. Next week cannot be worse. It can't. For the 3DS we have a hamster game and a discount for a game most people will already have bought by now if they wanted it.

The point.

I missed it.

@andrea987 Not officially. I'm sure there's independent shops out there that have either imported from Korea or Hong Kong, but I've yet to even see any that have a WiiU.

@th3r3ds0x
I live in China. They're not exactly a dime a dozen here. I will buy one when I either visit Japan or back home to England.

@HugoSmits
Considering the WiiU platform was mentioned during the games reveal, it's safe to safe a WiiU port has been in development. Obviously they are not going to make piles of money from releasing it on WiiU considering the userbase size, however if they get their sales projections correct they will not make a loss. I mean for God's sake, just release it on the eShop as a digital only title if they have to. But of course not, just because it won't make millions and millions of dollars then they don't care. If their happy to treat their customers like that, then so be it. You seem happy enough with their false promises so I guess it's fine then.

That all being said and done, maybe the rumour is just that. A rumour.

Anyways enough debate on this from me, it's late here.

@Kodeen
It's not just WiiU owners though is it? I don't own a WiiU. If Ubisoft are happy to go against their promises and delay/cancel games then why should I trust them? Will I ever preorder a Ubisoft game in the near future? Nope. Why? Because they are liable to change their mind near the last minute. Will you preorder one of their games, WiiU or otherwise?

@Kodeen
But public perception on them as a business is very important. If they keep doing this how can consumers continue to trust them? Of course it's their job.

So first they delay Rayman Legends, then they (may) cancel Watch_Dogs. Even though I don't own a WiiU yet, Ubisoft won't be seeing any of my money in the near future. People may have bought the WiiU system for these games and yet they don't care. It's unprofessional of them and immoral business practice.

Would love to own some old arcade machines. Too bad it's an expensive hobby. Plus it'd be nigh on impossible to find any original cabinets here in china.

Great read though!

I can't remember the last time I bought an EA game.

Anyways, I doubt it has anything to do with Nintendo "being for kids". It's all about the money. If the WiiU was riding high in the sales, they'd sure as hell be developing for it.

I've donated in anticipation of the 3DS goal... although I'm kinda worried it might not actually make it. Get donating people!

I didn't realise there was much of a mechanic behind it? I'm not sure I understand the change.

Ah boo, I'd join in but the time's really not good at all for me at all here in China.

I went to buy one from Amazon. I put the order in my basket and the price changed to 149.99!!

I guess it was my lucky day.

Living in China with an EU 3DSXL, Game are a great way for me to buy games digitally without paying the premium price that Nintendo ask for. Game are usually £8 cheaper for their 3DS eshop downloads.

Scrap that, finally got on. My green one has been ordered.

Even though I probably won't see it for a very very long time since I don't know when I'll be going back home to the UK.

I'm not able to log in. Nintendo UK's website really is awful.

Virtual Console... Give us the games! We will buy them!!

I'm sure last time you previewed it, you said it looked like a bad GBA game. I see no difference since then.

I was thinking more spring 2015.

Please please please please please please please please!

My poor wallet

That is way sooner than I expected!

I hope the Hero mode includes reworked dungeons like OoT Master Quest and not just a "take more damage" scenario. OoT Master Quest makes it feel like a totally new game.

Well maybe if they supported the console properly they might have more success. Selling last years iterations of sports games with no improvements apart from kit and team changes, won't fool many people.

FINALLY!

I'll be picking all of them up, probably, except Altered Beast. I thought it was even bad back in the day, never mind now.

Well if you compare what Nintendo Life says will be included compared to the what it says on the box...

Nintendo Life-Box
Game-Game
Chest-Chest
Poster-Poster
Link's Awakening-DLC

It might not be what DLC is generally considered to be, but it is definitely downloadable content.

@LunaticPandora

It'll just be the Link's Awakening download.

Pretty pricey... Plus most Zelda fans who have a 3DS will already have Link's Awakening like me. Pointless inclusion. I'll pass and buy the standard version.

They're not even being subtle. X)

And I've just realised... THEY'VE DONE THE DESIGN THE RIGHT WAY AROUND

My God do I want that Zelda one..... But I won't be able to buy it until next summer when I get back to the UK.

Shame about the download too. I'm downloading it separately on the 3DS I have now while I'm out here in China, so I don't really need to buy it again with the console.
