@Dipper723 I deliberately bought an 8GB system as Nintendo made the crazy decision to not make the 32GB in white.
This being said, I have had no problem with the many many games I've downloaded onto my external hard drive. It's not just "casual" people who picked up that system.
@brewsky That there's no point in complaining on a website every time a region (or, in this case, one country within a region) gets something you don't, because your region also gets things that other regions don't.
To fellow Europeans - these were in Club Nintendo, albeit not the Zelda/Animal Crossing ones.
I'm not going to complain about it not being in my region because it aggravates me regardless of where it is. But just as a bit of feedback - maybe when you do the updates on Twitter, it might be an idea to do a hash tag as to what region you're talking about (EU, NA or JP). Might save some confusion and/or disappointment.
@NintendoLee The last Pond game wasn't even made by these people and was obviously created by someone who knew very little about the series and had even less love for it.
I definitely can't wait for this (although I ordered my copy for the PS3; unfortunately the UK isn't doing the Dark Edition for the Wii U - maybe when that drops in price though, I'll double dip for the regular). I've got at least one of every character from the first two games, and look forward to seeing how the Swaplanders work.
It'd be cheaper to buy another TV for other people to play games on/watch. Plus it does look like a cheap toy; one of those knock-off things you'd buy in the market.
I'm just thankful we're getting it at all! Hopefully enough people will buy it to show Capcom that we do love the series and that future instalments will be released at retail (along with Layton vs Wright)... Or maybe for them to translate and digitally release Edgeworth 2.
@MadAdam81 "you don't have to fork out much to be able to play the whole thing"
Except you do. Skylanders, to see EVERYTHING the game has to offer, you need eight figures, one of each element. You can then stop there.
With Disney Infinity, you need to buy the playsets that are bundled with the toys which are more expensive than any Skylanders figure or set has ever been. You then need to buy expensive discs to unlock content on the Toybox mode.
I would say, if anything, that Infinity is MORE expensive.
Given that the video has some "unsavoury" spoken language in it, you might want to put a warning up in case any of your younger readers want to give it a view!

Re: Nintendo Announces The GameCube Controller Adapter for Wii U
@Moorpheel Yeah, this is the confirmation I'm looking for.
Re: Pikmin 3 Update Adds New Stylus Control Style
Now if only they would add dual Gamepad support...
Re: Review: Mario Kart 8 (Wii U)
@VukTUKmuk There are actually some quibbles pointed out in the review.
Re: Amazon Germany Offers an Exclusive Steelbook Edition of Mario Kart 8
@brewsky That there's no point in complaining on a website every time a region (or, in this case, one country within a region) gets something you don't, because your region also gets things that other regions don't.
Re: Amazon Germany Offers an Exclusive Steelbook Edition of Mario Kart 8
@brewsky ...is the Metroid Prime Trilogy steelbook.
Re: Nintendo Confirms Kirby: Triple Deluxe eShop Deal, Get Kirby's Dream Land 2 Free
I already have Dream Land 2, so I'll stick to the physical copy!
Re: Picross e4 Confirmed For North American 3DS eShop Release In May
I hope that Europe will get a release date soon too, now that both Western regions have finally caught up with each other
Re: Super Mario 3D World Double Disc Soundtrack Arrives on Club Nintendo
SOUNDTRACK GET <3
Re: Video: Marvel Characters Making Their Way to Disney Infinity
Yeah, the rest of the game was pretty lame. I can give these a miss, too.
Re: Walmart's Mickey 3DS XL Will Sell for $199.96, Does Not Include Game
Would be cooler without the game logo on.
Re: Pokémon Trading Card Game: XY - Flashfire Expansion Arrives on 7th May
I got the impression they were doing another handheld game.
Disappoint.
Re: Nintendo Confirms Club Nintendo Promotion for Free Pokémon X Or Pokémon Y Download
@tsm7 they did - it was called the Ambassador Programme.
Re: Nintendo Canada Announces an Awesome Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze Contest
@PrincessEevee9 the article, which I'm sure you read extremely thoroughly, quite clearly says "Canada only".
I say good for them. Canada misses out on enough US offers; it's nice for them to have something for once.
Re: Yoshi's New Island Hatches in Europe on 14th March
@DarkNinja9 did you even bother to read the article? Say, the first paragraph where it mentioned NoA already announced the release date?
Getting fed up with reflexive complainers who only read the title of an article.
Re: Updated Zelda and Animal Crossing 3DS Card Cases Arrive on Club Nintendo

Re: Rare Originally Conceived Dinosaur Planet As A Racing And Adventure Crossover
@GamerZackX They're the same character.
Re: Nintendo Download: 14th November (Europe)
PICROSS!
WHOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Re: Professor Layton's Final Adventure Can't Quite Puzzle Its Way Into UK All-Format Top 10
But I bought three copies
Re: Pre-Order Super Mario 3D World At GAME And Receive These Purr-fect Gifts
I'm trying not to let this tempt me as I already decided I wasn't going to shop with GAME any more.
Re: Nintendo Download: 7th November (Europe)
...AND PICROSS-E3??!
Re: Nintendo Download: 31st October (Europe)
AND PICROSS-E3??!
Re: Nintendo Download: 24th October (Europe)
@MeWario Hahahah, gotta love a "joker".
Re: UK Retailer GAME Less Than Happy With Rivals Ignoring Pokémon X & Y Street Date
If it's any consolation GAME, I'm not happy with you, either.
Re: Review: Picross e3 (3DS eShop)
"Do you want to play Picross?"
Yes but it's not out here yet!
Re: Review: Picross e3 (3DS eShop)
@sillygostly i'd just go for the game boy sequel seeing a release on virtual console.
Re: Review: Picross e3 (3DS eShop)
@Linkstrikesback source?
Re: Nintendo UK Launches Online Retail Store
@VoiceOfReason That's why this is an article about the UK store.
Re: James Pond Kickstarter Campaign Has Been Cancelled
@NintendoLee The last Pond game wasn't even made by these people and was obviously created by someone who knew very little about the series and had even less love for it.
Re: Nintendo Download: 10th October (Europe)
Crap week - WHERE IS PICROSS-E3??!
Re: Nintendo Download: 3rd October (North America)
Oh, come on.
North America got Picross-e3 but Europe didn't?
Load of nonsense.
Re: Nintendo Download: 3rd October (Europe)
...And Picross-e3 releasing in September 2013 is WHERE EXACTLY?
I'm hoping on being put up straight after Nintendo Direct tomorrow.
Re: Picross e3
October =/= September.
Boo.
Re: Hands On: Skylanders: SWAP Force
I definitely can't wait for this (although I ordered my copy for the PS3; unfortunately the UK isn't doing the Dark Edition for the Wii U - maybe when that drops in price though, I'll double dip for the regular). I've got at least one of every character from the first two games, and look forward to seeing how the Swaplanders work.
Re: James Pond Franchise to Return With Crowdfunding Campaign
BRING BACK THE CHOCCY BICCIES!
Re: Nintendo Download: 12th September (Europe)
Still waiting for Picross-e3.
Re: Weirdness: Say Hello to the Cross Plane, a GamePad For Other Systems
It'd be cheaper to buy another TV for other people to play games on/watch. Plus it does look like a cheap toy; one of those knock-off things you'd buy in the market.
Re: Review: Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams (Wii U eShop)
I'd hardly call the original Giana Sisters game "uninspired". Okay, it was a blatant rip-off, but it was still pretty good going.
This game is definitely far more punishing than the others in the series, but I've been having a great time with it on PSN.
Re: Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams May Get A Patch To Solve GamePad Audio Problems
I almost lament not waiting for the Wii U version because this game is hard as nails and I could do with that Easy Mode!!
Re: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies Will Not Be Getting A Boxed Copy in The West
I'm just thankful we're getting it at all! Hopefully enough people will buy it to show Capcom that we do love the series and that future instalments will be released at retail (along with Layton vs Wright)... Or maybe for them to translate and digitally release Edgeworth 2.

Re: Boxed Copy of New Super Luigi U Available This Sunday in North America
@DefHalan - if you want this, you need to try and get it this year, since I think it goes out of print after that. You can always save up for NSMBU.
Re: Capcom Reiterates Stance On Further Disney Remastering
@Bass_X0 I'd gladly buy Dual Destinies many times over if doing so would make them translate/release Edgeworth 2.
Re: Review: DuckTales: Remastered (Wii U eShop)
not sure if anyone else has mentioned it but the UK price is actually £11.99.
Re: Ninterview: Dan Clarke And Jake Smith Talk Project Dolphin, A Print-Based GameCube Tribute
@LunaticPandora Hahahah, woooooooow.
I suppose films, animation and theatre aren't art, either?
Re: Pikmin Bag Available to North American Club Nintendo Members
@KnightRider666 not really - people often isr them instead of wasteful plastic carrier bags for shopping, for example.
Re: Pikmin Bag Available to North American Club Nintendo Members
@KnightRider666 I've seen guys touting far worse things than a Pikmin tote bag; at worst, turn it so the design faces you!
Re: Pikmin Bag Available to North American Club Nintendo Members
@KnightRider666 yeah, I wish these were in Europe, too.
