I'd love to try this. The simple thought of it all blows my mind.

Any hopes for more information on the device? Or is that too much to ask for?

30 days of karaoke? Sure, sign me up, Nintendo! I'd love to burn my neighbors's voices with my beautiful voice!

...Guess it's a good thing that feature probably won't make it outside of Japan. :B

Yes! 124 years STRONG, baby! Here's to the Wii U becoming a major success, that the 3DS keeps selling as well as it does, and that Nintendo is around as long as the human race is!

Feliz Cumpleanos, Nintendo! :B

I don't mind jt. It's surprises me that so many people once said that they didn't care for the 3D effect, only to now have some of those same people say that they love the effect and that Nintendo & GameFreak are now "abandoning" it simply because it isn't fully implented in ONE title.

I love the 3D effect myself, but if the game is better without it, then that's a tiny sacrifice I have no problem with. :B

That's OK. I'm ready to create a team from scratch, all about the 6th Generation! :B

The number of sales for this title are INSANE. And to think they're only from Japan so far... D:

... I want to play these already... (T-T)

@CapnPancakes Well, most of us here purchase games that glorify a mushroom-consuming plumber & females that wear skin-tight suits as they shoot down zombie-alien creatures.

It's just a game, there's no need ro take it seriously.

I forgot to add that Grand Theft Auto V looks way better than Grand Theft Auto 4, by the way. But it still doesn't appeal enough to me to purchase it. Not even on my PS3.

Now on-topic, I only own a PlayStation 3. No Wii U, no 360. So if I wanted the game, I'd save up and purchase it on that platform if I really wanted it. But to be honest, Grand Theft Auto 4 was a disappointment (in my opinion, of course); it tried to be too realistic for my taste. I prefer the older, more classic titles, such as Vice City, Liberty City Stories & San Andreas.

I own all of those titles on various consoles, so if I want a GTA fix, I'll get it through there.

@Phantom_R Wooow. Your "IQ is a little high", huh? I'll borrow one of Damien's lines, and tell YOU to "get off your high horse." :B

Tastes in entertainment vary. I understand that the game is not for you, but there's no need to come across as a pompous smart-donkey. Just sayn

Stupid phone.
It's a great business move; they're trying to make a profit, improve one of their greatest titles ever, AND please the fans. If I owned a Wii U, I'd support this right away.

$10 per sport is "too expensive"? They're letting you CHOOSE what bits of the title you want, they're not MAKING you buy all of them! They're giving you the choice to decide with your wallet, and variety in choice is what Nintendo's all about! (Look at the 3DS models, for example.)

Furthermore, the games will be enhanced with HD visuals, and the gameplay improved. You'll be able to play online. They have to gain revenue to pay for keeping those servers running, and for all of the enhancements they're performing.

I say it's a great moge. Nintn

I spent many, many hours playing this as a toddler alone, as well as with my family.

And then I go older, and I spent many, many hours playing thus alone and with family.

And now I have it for the Game Boy Color (Super Mario Bros. Deluxe), and I play it alone, but I love it every bit as much as I always have. It was one of my first few games, and I'd score it 10/10, simply because it's a Nintendo Masterpiece.

Long live Super Mario.

...These things look damn crazy enough to work... xD

I'd love to try these, just to see what it's all really like. Hell, since they work on phones as well, I'd give them a go with my phone to see if they work well on the virtual D-Pad of an old-school emulator. :B

Well, that's Capcom's case. They have a plan, and they're sticking with it. If they feel it's what's best for business, then they shouod go ahead with it.

Though they do have some of their fanbases's disapproval, it seems. I've never been a close Capcom follower, so this doesn't really have any importance to me.

Wow. All of these new creatures look so ODD. It's crazy! The ones I immediately liked are the T-Rex & the psychic Pokémon. :B

Mega Mewtwo X doesn't look as great as Mega Mewto Y — probably in the minority in this opinion. :B

Awesome. I follow that page, here's to hoping even the DS & DSi are included in all of this. :B

Good for Nintendo. The eShop gets better and better with each passing month! :B

YES! FINALLY! I had never forgotten their promise to bring it to the 3DS! My excitement is reborn. :')

This is pretty awesome; despite the fact that I'd MUFH rather have a physical copy if my software (I only have a small handful of digital titles, as opposed to about 60 physical discs/cartridges), the fact that the digital world is doing well is great news to me. In the end, I'm a supporter of both mediums, simply because I believe (just like Nintendo does) that the consumer should have more than one option when it comes to decidinflg on how they would like to own their product.

@Wolf_Link NONE of the Kanto need these Mega Evolutions, but DAMNIT, they're there if you want 'em!

I said it from the start that these would be announced. Because it's POKÉMON, and Pokémon merchandise is good for business.

I have the Zelda Edition 3DS, but if ANY person could make me envious with their 3DS, it's be if they owned one of these. :B

Well, he's not wrong on the whole; they NEED all the third party support. But he doesn't have to sound like a donkey about it, I'd say. :B

So back to the original Game Boy Advance design... but with many more features and capabilities.

I like it. The people behind it REALLY DID do a good job. :B

Pokemon X & Y Bundles are coming to North America.

I've been calling it since the original trailer was shared. :B

DO IT, NINTENDO!

I have to agree with Reggie: If the Wii U had a higher price due to the included hard drive space, that wouod be just another factor in the Wii U's steep decline in sales. So it's good that they do give you the external option.

@feelthesarcasm Yeah, and those people are mistaken for thinking so. The Nintendo DS didn't become the best-selling handheld console because it DIDN'T appeal to children; people need to understand that, in actuality, children make up a huge portion of the gaming market.

@the_shpydar @sjmartin Don't worry guys, you're not alone. Believe it or not, there ARE people out there who understand simple business decisions. And this is an absolutely INGENIOUS one. :B

@ferthepoet Quiet, fool. The 2DS was not designed with you in mind.

I hope Nintendo keep stating who the Nintendo 2DS is aimed for. Goodness knows that most people don't seem to understand the business logic behind it.

@Archgamer YES, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, FREAKIN' THANK YOU! FINALLY someone who understands the business logic behind this new 3DS model!

I don't like resorting to insults when it comes to replying to people in comments, but it's just absolutely atrocious that people can't see the ingenious strategy that Nintendo has come up with.

Once again, I'm glad to see there's someone else who understands that Nintendo knows what's good for business. :B

@WaveBoy Well, #1, if you puked for 5 hours, you'd most likely die.

#2 The commercial is informative: it states absolutely EVERYTHING you need to know about the system. It serves it's purpose well, so HOW is it a bad commercial? Simple: it's not.

#3 If you had actually PAYED attention to the video, you'd know that it states that the 2DS is COMPLETELY compatible with all 3DS, eShop, DSi & Nintendo DS games. So how is it's library smaller, exactly? Simple answer: IT'S NOT.

Understand that this console is NOT aimed at you.
_{Watch the insults please — TBD}

My argument aside...

I DO agree that it looks weird as hell. I've definitely never seen anything that resembles the 2DS's design. I like it, and I also don't. One thing's for sure, though: I'd like to play on this a few times, just to know how it feels ergonomically. :B

Also... wow. I still can't understand how people don't understand that this 2DS is just another option. And that it was designed for kids, and to get 3DS sales in North America & Europe to increase. Wake up, people, come on. Why are you all so quick to anger over such smart business decisions? :B

I like how about 90% of the people in this comments section (including all the comments sections on all other gaming websites, as well) complain, and whine and cry about how this new 2DS is an atrocity of a console that shouldn't exist...

Because those people are apparently unable to understand that this console is NOT for them. AND that no one's forcing them to buy it. AND that the original 3DS & 3DS XL are still out there, available for purchase.

The 2DS is aimed at KIDS, people! KIDS! Most of us on this website are NOT kids! Get your acts together! There's a reason that Nintendo made this new version of the 3DS, and that's because it knows a part of their audience, and it knows that this said part doesn't use the 3D effect, and that they'd like a cheaper console.

Nintendo is doing what's RIGHT for business. It's why they've been around so long. All you need to do is UNDERSTAND that this console is for the younger audience, and NOT for YOU.
_{Please watch the insults, they are not necessary to make your argument — TBD}

About as unexpected as the 2DS itself. I thought Nintendo was fully determined to sticking with the Wii U's price.

But hey, if it gets the Wii U out of the rut that it's been in since post-launch, I'm all for it.

In short: this controller is a cheap knockoff that you shouldn't buy unless there's no other alternative. And that's the article for ya.

Woooow. This is unheard of! Crossplay between consoles, handhelds & smartphones & tablets. Well I'll be damned, that's really something right there.

I'd get a Wii U someday JUST for a new Stadium title. But it also helps that I'm looking forward to Super Mario 3D World, Super Smash Bros...

I'm watching that anime short, or whatever it really turns out to be. It certainly won't be cringe-inducing like the current anime. I'm confident in that. :B

I've hated GameStop for years now. I would not go back to their stores. I much prefer buying locally from people here in my area. I get what I want (mostly retro stuff) for prices that are more than reasonble. :

I wouldn't pay 90 dollars for the Trilogy. I know they're great games, and I've actually played Prime using this very disc myself, but I would much rather save it and use it to spend it on something that would feel more worth the money. But that's natural.

I've only ever played the demo of the original on the Wii, and it's button-mashing is certainly not satisfying. Like said in the article, it IS mindless fun; there's not much to get from this series, since all you do ia move arouns and mash a button.

So these games aren't for everyone. I say you should just stick with the original core Pokémon games instead, unless you can find this for a cheaper price than the standard $60.

Typical media mistake. Tsk-tsk.

Amazing. Projects like these are one of the reason I love Pokémon.

Looks interesting. Haha, only from Japan do I see crazy stuff like this!

These games just look so much more amazing with every bit of news that is released. I have my 80 dollars reserved, I want BOTH! :B

ALL of these Pokemon look AMAZING. Especially the Mega Forms! GameFreak have really outdone themselves this time around!

X & Y Look even BETTER now! :B

I actually created a video of these news. In case anyone is interested:

@Brother_Jolteon The "rabbit looks like it's in the Pikachu family"? You meant the mouse, right? :B

You get 'em, Nintendo. We don't need people stealing the content created by others. It's bad for the industry, and bad for the consumers.

Knock 'Em Down.

@Nukarmer Quite the smart-aleck, are we? Nintendo has already stated what they're going to do to revitalize their home console. And you know that as well as anyone else on this site.
