I hope we get some of those in NA and some for other games. I just hope they aren't fingerprint and dust magnets, like the black gamepad. They should also make some of the pro controller.
I tried mii verse when it first came out on the 3ds and then when I got my wii u then never again. I dint hate it, but it's nothing special. Also the loading times make it much less desirable to use it.
What I want them to do is fix th wii backward compatibility. It feels like an afterthought, it actually is an afterthought. Also the browser is very bad. Sometimes I don't have my phone or laptop next to me and would want to search something quickly
I would rather pay the extra price at target or meijer then go near a Wal-Mart. I also don't bother with used games, unless I can't find them otherwise. So this will not get me to go to Wal-Mart.
@Gerbwmu Awakening was very casual and easy compared to other Fire Emblem games. It also came out with not many major 3DS games to compete with. The real Fire Emblem games will not get many of Awakening fans on board.
I hope this comes to the US. I got the bravely default limited edition, though I didn't like the game, so I'll be happy to pick this up. I also hope for a club Nintendo poster.
This is a bit off topic, but I've never played Super Mario RPG, is it any good? I heard a few good things about it and the Club Nintendo game expires in a few days.
I was so pissed when they first came out because I had 490 coins. I actually bought Pokemon X to get to 500, but miscalculated. Now I have more than enough and got them, thanks NL. Pokemon X was really fun though, so I don't regret it.
F zero gx was one my favorite games and I would love to see another one. But miyamoto doesn't know which gimmick to use to make another game. I'm hoping they announce a new game when they announce captain falcon for smash.
I want to get LttP, Earhtbound, Shovel Knight, and Child of Light from the eshop, so I might as well use this. As for full retail games, I will usually go for the physical version.
@Nareva I agree. Being able to control the encounter rate, battle speed, and having auto battle was a great addition. I hope they keep that. constant random battles tends to get annoying.
I only get digital of its only available in digital or if it's bundled. I love the convenience of digital, but I don't trust Nintendo. It's also nice having the games on the shelf.
I will not be get this game. I don't want it and Nintendo should slow down with their platformers. When will then start announcing games for the wii u.
Yes, I've been eyeing this for a while, I hope they bring it west. Do we have to go to the Facebook page to vote? I deactivated my Facebook account and don't want to reactivate it.
@Nintenjoe64 They need to be careful wit a Sunshine remake. They can't have many remakes very quickly. Plus, it should be announced once 3DWorld stops selling.
I hope they do something about the Virtual Console.
@ArcanaXVI Fire Emblem is my favorite franchise and I'm not excited about it yt. It's a crossover with another Super niche franchise. They need to show more from the game than just a list of characters.
These, the oscars, and many other award shows seem to be more popularity contests for me, not always though. The handheld category makes believe that more.
Nintendo Canada is a thing? I thought Canada fell under NOA. Speaking of NOA, I keep hating it more the more I hear about other Nintendos. Good prizes though.
I'm getting a my Wii U in a few days, but I have a question to those who have it. Sorry if this is not the place. Some Wii games I like can use the GameCube controller. I was wondering if I can use an adapter that connects the GameCube controller to the Wii U and play the wii games with the GC controller? If that doesn't work, do you know if the Wii U pro controller can be used as a substitute for the GC controller. Or if there is any other workaround aside from buying a Wii. Thanks.
@therick112 But they have to build some hype, make it more relevant. With entertainment products usually lose their momentum quickly. I bought the game a few days ago, so I guess you do have a point.
@Peach64 Many people who watch it watch it for the ads and just to go to the parties. The half time show is also a big factor. I don't know if you were seeing what we were seeing here before the big game, but many companies are advertising their super bowl ads. It's the most watched TV event of the year, so the ads are insanely expensive, though I can't tell you exactly how much.
I personally don't bother, the game is about 3 to 4 hours long with the breaks, and it is very discontinuous and boring. If I want to see ads, I will watch them on Hulu later. The game keeps stopping and resuming, it's annoying and I actually don't care about it. But most of the people who watch it are bros and dudes, and others that accompany them for the parties. If Nintendo is to advertise there, they have to make something really funny or witty, and I don't seem them doing that.
@Peach64 Super Bowl commercials are very expensive. There is no way Nintendo, a company that almost never advertises, would put a super bowl ad. I also don't think people who watch the super bowl are Nintendo's best demo.

Re: The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds Scoops Best Handheld / Mobile Game at GDC Awards
Link Between Worlds made me care about Zelda again. I lost faith in the Zelda franchise, but this game was so awesome and it deserves it.
I got the club Nintendo posters two days ago and I love them, they are much better than what I expected.

That Rosalina card looks awesome.

Re: Super Smash Bros. Melee Confirmed for Evo 2014
@Kyloctopus That marketing would be very good, so Nintendo will not do it.
Re: Super Smash Bros. Melee Confirmed for Evo 2014
@BigH88 Nintendo is awful with names. They make great games but they are very indecisive and often annoying.

@Dark-Link73 it's the Reggie of Nintendo of Europe, I think.
Re: Extended Nintendo Network Maintenance on Wii U and 3DS Scheduled For 13th March
Last Nintendo direct was very weak and bad. It seems Nintendo doesn't have many projects and games to show so the good announcements are kept for e3.
Re: Video: Now Wind Waker Has Had the Oculus Rift Treatment
Now do F-Zero GX.
Or Sunshine.

There's no surprise. Nintendo needs to more aggressive.

Whatever it is, it better not be a platformer.
My hope is that it's either metroid, f zero, or a new game.

If people are willing to buy it used for 90, why would you sell yours for 30 or less?
Re: Video: F-Zero Gets the "Did You Know Gaming?" Treatment

Re: NPD Data Shows More U.S. Gamers Switching to Downloads
I only get digital of its only available in digital or if it's bundled. I love the convenience of digital, but I don't trust Nintendo.
It's also nice having the games on the shelf.

@kuribo4 Yes it's a Zelda in Ghibli style.
Re: Wii U and 3DS Nintendo Direct Confirmed for 13th February
All I want is news on X, a game from a not so used franchise, or some localization news.

Thanks. I will have to see what's up with that. I did not like the classic controller. But I will read more before buying.

Re: Super Mario Hopping Into McDonald's Happy Meals in the UK
They should have done this before 3D World came out. Unless they somehow make it Kart themed.
Oh well, we'll see how this will go.

Re: Legend of Zelda: Iron Knuckle Encounter Goes to LEGO Cuusoo Review
They should make a Super Smash Brothers Set. Oh, and Pokemon would likely sell lots of sets.
