@Phantom_R I had it on my Wish List for like two years as well, and since it was a Nintendo game I was hoping it would show up as a reward at some point.

I finally just broke down and bought it in early February...oops.

@Noonch Ugh...You!

I purchased the premium version after enjoying the multiplayer mode. The online connectivity has gotten way better since it first launched, too.

Looks like major titles are moving exclusively to next gen machines now.

@seronja Glad you got my point.

@JosieC84 Totally agreed! The Wii U is doing just fine without third party games. Who needs 'em??

A game like that isn't worth the risk of spending resources to port it to the Wii U. Wise decision by the developer.

Haha, Damo loves writing Senran Kagura Burst articles. This is like the 8th one he's done personally.

I'm downloading Tappingo today.

Next up...Dreamcast!

@ThomasBW84 Shame on you for presenting this information this way. "Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze swings past 50,000 sales to date" is so biased! You should have used the word "rocketed" to describe DKC's wonderful accomplishment of being in the Top 12 in its second week of release. Why are you so negative all the time????

They should do this with a game of chess.

Now /this/ is some news that will finally sell some Wii U's.

I think he has way more impressive videos on his youtube page, by the way. Ninja Gaiden and Mega Man runs that make my jaw drop.

@Arlock41!! O:

Hey, I'm friends with this guy. In fact, the first post I ever made on this site was a link to his 600 point Super Mario Bros. run. The dude's nickname isn't "Robot" for nothing.

Buying this day one. Goodbye Galaxy Games always delivers quality gameplay.

@rumple88 Stop trying to start fights online and go for a walk or something, Mr. Positive.

@rumple88 I'll go on a walk after you up your reading comprehension.

So basically a lot of people want this site to lie to them.

Don't listen to the people with their heads in the sand, NintendoLife. Your articles show a fair representation of the Nintendo landscape.

Well, except those stories on AE Games. Giving that "company" credibility was embarrassing.

Wii U install base is just too small in Japan. Unfortunately, it will likely remain that way throughout the Wii U's lifespan.

Good thing the 3DS is around.

@JohnRedcorn But...who's going to help me make this "Blind Cats" teaser image?

@JohnRedcorn I'm thinking about creating ibehard games. All I need is a blog, Microsoft Paint, some cut/pasted comments from online forums, and the ability to send out a press release. This will get me a lot of exposure from legit websites, and support from thousands. Want to help?

I guess we'll need programmers and some dev kits eventually, but meh, obviously you don't need that stuff to be considered a video game company. Blind adoration and unwarranted attention will work just fine for me for now.

Should have courted third parties from the get go. Should have included the heavy hitters in on the development, and received their input. Should have made it match the power of the other consoles so they would get viable ports. Should have respected third parties more.

Man, I love Nintendo, more than any other VG company...but WTF?

Now you're shifting this into a completely different argument. I agree that we should welcome new developers. This guy isn't one. He's some guy who posted a blog blaming third party publishers for the lack of support, then created this "company".

My original point still stands. You are so desperate to find good news about the Wii U that you'll grasp onto anything, even something that has no credibility.

I hope this "f***ing whiner" (as you called me) managed to keep this post from being personal. Wouldn't want to throw insults around or anything.

I dug that contradiction quite a bit, lol.

By the way, it's interesting that when you view that blog in "Mobile" mode, it shows that 90% of the comments are by the same guy (J Mullins) talking up the game under different user names. Gee, I wonder if J Mullins is the owner of that blog...

He's a fraud and he's laughing at you.

@TheRealThanos Delusional. And belligerently naive.

Everyone who is calling the skeptics "negative" should calm down. I'm not being negative. I'm just not a moron who believes anything put on some blog on the internet until I get some real evidence to back it up. Honestly, I assumed the majority of people did that.

When absolutely nothing comes from this "developer", I'll gladly accept your apology for saying I should be buried under a pile of rocks simply for being a realist.

@rumple88 LOL. It's not being "butthurt", it's living in reality. It's clearly not real.

Did NL vet this "developer" at all? Some dude with no known credentials sets up a blog to rail against some companies who aren't supporting the Wii U, and now he's getting legit coverage from credible sites as if he really has something in the works. He's admitted to being one guy, with a blog, without a dev kit, money, or even a graphics programmer.

They could minimally say "take this with a huge block of salt" to cover their skins, but they seem to be buying into it as much as everyone who's starved for good news for the Wii U.

Amazing that people think this is even remotely legit. It's embarrassing that it's even being treated as a news story, as there is nothing to indicate that this guy even knows how to program a game of Pong.

His site is a blog, with comments from one guy pretending to be multiple people. Probably the blog owner himself.

Whomp 'Em HD for the Wii U eShop. Listen to your fans, Nintendo.

LOL.

I'll be buying this. Never played the original.

This is a no-brainer download for me. Looking forward to it.

More like Mighty Bomb Wack.

It's telling that the discounts are included as options in the poll this week when discounts like these happen all the time on the eShop.

Having only three options to choose from (and one being "Nothing") would have been hilarious.

I wish Knack was a candidate for every category so I could vote for it 7 times.

Haha, this game sucks.

Oh you, Nintendo.

Big misstep not including Pachter's name in the headline.

@Peek-a-boo And here I thought my sarcasm was obvious.

This is pretty great news. If they keep up this rate all year, they'll pass the Dreamcast in sales by this time next year.

@MAB I'll respond to you in your own language:

@Bassman_Q Don't know if you'll ever read this, but just go to a Nintendo Zone to download games before spring break. No McDonald's around you?

This is no Kid Tripp.

For those confused, NA eShop updates at noon ET. As always.

I hope they add more DLC to the Plaza. I've managed a lot of playtime out of the four newer games. Unfortunately, it's to the point where Streetpassing again doesn't mean as much to me because I have every puzzle piece and all but one ticket from the new games (still need to battle about 30 more "Monarchs From Afar" in Warrior's Way).

@Artwark (#12) LOL, that is one of the funniest posts I've read in a long time. Thank you so much for that.

Anyway, I've been a big proponent of this game since it's release. It's just pure fun and it's a steal at only $2. I'm glad to hear of it's continued success and I look forward to his next game...

...And then he can make Clive 2!

@Obito_Tennyson This is a European site. Those two games you mentioned were released in 2013 in the PAL region. That's also why a game like Nightsky gets nominated despite being released in NA in 2012.

Fire Emblem: Awakening earns my vote in every category in which it's nominated.

Love this game. One of my favorite eShop games from 2013. I've played through it five or six times already.

Looking forward to whatever Image & Form puts out next.

I actually preferred Jump Trials Extreme to the seemingly more popular 10 Second Run, so to hear that this improves upon the previous entries in the series makes me more interested. I'll pick it up eventually.

Very cool. I love the game and I have 100%ed it a few times. 20 new levels are most welcome.
