Q2 2014 (UK/EU) hahahaha now that is joke.

Jools promised to release the game in Europe right after the episodes are done in USA, but where's the game? Most likely will never be released in Europe.

They apparently tried to get it global for months, but were not successful.

These are the times when I really get reminded how much I hate region locking.

I really hope they do a Europe bundle next or it will be all for nothing.

Also makes me pissed to see Moon Chronicles and Woah Dave! in that list since Europe has got neither of those even though Jools Watsham promised to release Moon Chronicles immediately after all episodes are done and released in Americas.

Seriously, the big companies need to do something about this Europe situation. We get robbed of a bunch of great indie games.

I don't know why on PC side we have none of these problems as Steam & GOG releases are global.

Pretty much seals the deal that I will be never buying their games on PC or any other platform. If you screw the fans in this way, it's just simply put deals off both ways.

They don't want Nintendo fans playing their badly optimized game, then so be it. I got Assetto Corsa anyway on PC and it's on a whole another level compared to Project Cars.

@SuperCharlie78
Hilariously currently the results are:

Wii U 27.61%
Steam OS 23.99%
Windows 23.45%
PlayStation 4 18.44%
Xbox One 6.51%

Typical, they originally were asking money in public funding for the Wii U version. And this is the end result.

If the devs had balls, they would return the money that they did cheat from the Wii U pledgers, but of course in the reality of this world, they will not do that.

I am happy that I did not invest in their project, but it's shameful that they have not worked on it on Wii U which was their main platform with PC originally before they started putting time on PS4/Xbone versions.

I bet it's either Nicalis or Renegade Kid behind this leak.

Both of them are really lacking in the European releases while in Americas they release all their games.

Seriously, the gaming business needs just one global rating system. Hopefully that IARC could be it. It really pisses me off that not all games get released in all territories.

@LavaTwilight
Originally it was supposed to have only three tracks so nine awesome tracks is quite a positive surprise to me at least.

I'm getting the PC version through the Kickstarter, but I really, really hope that Nicalis doesn't mess this up again on Wii U. Their track record on releasing games in European Wii U & 3DS eShops is horrible.

Ikachan 2,5 years ago released in Americas, still nothing in Europe. Same for many other games.

Our only hope is that because the developer is Greek, the game will not be getting the usual Nicalis treatment regarding Europe then. One rare example is NightSky that got released in Europe, my suspicion is because the developer of the game is Nifflas, who is from Sweden.

@Sonicfan11589
The Kickstarter was in 2013 so the page is available but the backer pledges are not possible to be put anymore, there is no slacker backer possibility for this project like there are for many others.

Very nice, I think these will be the first items I will spend my hard earned Club Nintendo points on.

Hopefully Sega will stop being lazy and we will get soon all the awesome Sega themes to the Europe & Americas eShops.

I really want to buy the Sega Saturn theme etc. already!

I wonder is the Cave Story 3D ever going to get released in the eShop? Rodriguez was teasing about that like a year ago?

Renegade Kid and Nicalis are still lacking in releases in Europe.

I hope DQ10 would come to west also. Seems insane that they don't want to bring a major entry in the Dragon Quest series to Europe and Americas.

Ahh man, it really really pisses me off that in Finland we are missing out on this whole international streetpass week.

Would've really wanted to get that special mii since those are pretty much never given out in Europe.

Really sucks by the way that seems that in Finland we don't have Nintendo Zones anymore. Hesburger franchise used to have the hotspots but I don't get anything in those anymore.

Also means I am missing out on the Satoru Shibata special mii and that REALLY sucks. They should just send those special miis directly to the 3DS console, and not have to go through this Nintendo Zone hassle when it doesn't even work everywhere anymore like it used to.

Streets of Rage and especially Streets of Rage 2 are some of the best side scroller beat em up games ever made. For me these two were much more important than Final Fight, which of course was also an amazing game.

The soundtrack was just pure gold in SoR and SoR2. The third game was quite bad and should've maybe been never done, it was quite a letdown and disappointment. It's maybe good that there are no new games to the franchise. Current SegaSammy would not get the game at all. I would say only company in the world that could make a good Streets of Rage 4 is WayForward. Jake Kaufman and Yuzo Koshiro together could make the soundtrack.

Streets of Rage should never be a 3D brawler like these cancelled projects. It only works in 2D.

But I have to say that M2's treatment is just magical, it's perfect. I love playing the first Streets of Rage on 3DS and I really crave for the second game to get the M2 treatment. Good thing we already know they are developing it. Hopefully by 2016 we also get to play it, especially in Europe&North America. Japan will get it sooner for sure.

Voice chat is annoying part of online gaming, unless you are playing just with a group of friends. Then it's actually fun, like when playing Doom together online with friends on PC.

Voice chat with unknowns who are most likely to turn out being idiots and teenagers shouting stupid stuff at you, is completely not needed.

@Fazermint said it best actually, you can still have voice chat for example with friends through PC and keep playing together on Wii U. Nice one, didn't even think of that!

I hope both the Shibata mii and the six hits thing will also come to Finland and Hesburger here since that seems to be the only place that has Nintendo Zones.

Otherwise this sucks totally.

Out of those, I would say Bayonetta, then Rayman and Snake after that.

Hopefully it will come to Europe soon? It sure had a long way to arrive to Wii U in general. Original release date was Q1 2014, right?

Without the multiplayer servers, it just isn't worth a buy.

Good thing that fans have tried to do their own servers for this game and some others that had the official servers closed down because of Gamespy.

I wonder how much it would cost for Nintendo to put up and maintain the old servers, on their own?

Yeah, I heard from Mrs. Kolzig that Japanese fans are pretty much heavily disappointed because of this decision.

Not good, not good at all.

This kind of DLC sucks and also kills of any retro usage for the game in 5-10 years time when the servers have already closed down and DLC can't be got anymore. That's like more than half of the regular game as DLC, completely crazy.

Excellent. Hopefully Mighty Gunvolt comes as well.

Still waiting for Sega's 3DS themes to arrive to west. And Another World, and a lot of other themes...

Stupid me that I made my Nintendo ID for Finland, should've done it for UK and then I would've got all the digital surveys and could've linked the Wii U to the Club Nintendo account.

This really sucked that many countries in Europe never had Club Nintendo, hopefully Nintendo has finally learned from it's many mistakes and this will all be made global and better in autumn with the new service.

So as usual the AVGN game comes only in North America then? Europe gets nothing?

Oh yeah and wasn't Azure Striker Gunvolt supposed to come out this week?

Might get it, but only when it hits the prive range of under 10 euros. Not worth more than that.

Sega seriously need to get their brain checked out and release all of their 3DS themes in Europe&North America too.

I would buy all the eight themes they've released so far.

Will be interesting to see when this new one comes out in 2-3 years that what it will be like. Is it going to be a new 3DS like machine or a new home console or both?

They might have something magical stored up and as long as they get their online stuff working and make the new machine easy to develop quality stuff for, then we are in for a treat.

On a technical level this game is truly amazing. Especially since it was only made by three guys.

On a story and gameplay level this game is really boring. The story is even worse than in Gears of War and Gears of War is one of the worst games made in past +10 years.

By the way, still pisses me off that 3DS Streetpass doesn't have maps of all the countries of the world. Especially in Europe.

Really pathetic that many countries are missing, for example all the Nordic countries so you can't see which counties you have already gotten streetpasses from, like you can with map of Japan or UK or USA etc.

Also since my locale is set to Finland, I don't have the globe icon at all in Streetpass Plaza where you can view which countries you've gotten streetpasses from.

Really pathetic display of lazy work from Nintendo of Europe.

Cool, finally it's coming. It sure has taken a strangely long time. Shame that Inafune's team most likely won't give Mighty Gunvolt for free like they did for the Kickstarter backers of Project number 9. I still have the unused US eShop download code that I do nothing with.

'Honest Abe' Lincoln Mii, when is that coming to Europe and how can it be get?

It really sucks that they don't just send those through Spotpass easily somehow, I have in the past 1,5 years only got two special Mii characters Aonuma and one other Nintendo developer. I could kill for official Iwata and Reggie miis to arrive.

Still waiting for those Sega themes that are available in Japan and the new Another World themes.

My money is ready, just I hope they release those soon.

Ahh man, how come a European dev's old classic game gets themes in Japan, but not in Europe.

Those better come to Europe soon, looks gorgeous! I need those Another World themes as much as I need the Sega themes that seem to never come outside of Japan to other regions...

Nexis Games, the one and only true shovelware company.

But that's just my opinion. I wish you luck in making all these games as there seems to be a long road ahead.

I really don't get it why this has been released in Australia, but not elsewhere in Europe? Both are in PAL region so what is the point of doing such a limited release?

Shame there was no launch discount.

Shame also that there is never discounts for Virtual Console games. So this will forever stay in the 20€ price level. Oh well, it's a lot better than the rip off 60€ prices that auction sites are having for the used disc versions.

Also yeah, the European name for the Wii Kirby game was really horribly stupid. You can't get more bland and lame name than "Adventure Wii"
Return to Dream Land has at least a swing to it.

Freakishly AWESOME!

Day one perch.

I've been waiting for this so many years.

My issue with Nintendo regarding the New 3DS is couple of things.

A) the stupid name
B) the media silence around the so called limited edition cover plates (Majora's Mask, Pikachu and Kirby) aka cover plates 056, 057 and 058.

My bloody axe will start flying if they release again like 10 copies of the cover plates and some ebay resellers buy all.

Nintendo is even advertising the Majora's Mask covers on their webpages in UK, but no sign of the cover plate has been seen anywhere and it is the most glorious one.

@RobMondavi
This is true also, the amount of kids(?) crazy spam is incredible in Miiverse.

At some point especially the Zelda community pages were filled with all kinds of crap.

Really sucks that Kirby and the Rainbow Curse isn't coming to Europe before late in the summer.

It just makes no sense and especially nerd raging is that Nintendo isn't telling any business reason why the release is later during the year when all other regions get it earlier.

Stupid damn region lock.

Thing is, what Nintendo DOES need to fix in Miiverse is the Follow button in general, in the web interface.

When I go to Miiverse on my phone or PC, there is no follow button available in the threads or in people's profiles. This is only available on 3DS and Wii U Miiverse apps. This used to be available still a week ago and since then I've seen the button go on and off that sometimes in the evenings it is visible and then again next day it isn't.

I really don't know what they are playing around with, I have reported the problem already, but have seen no change back to functioning form.

Since the search in the Miiverse itself is really horrible, it's difficult to search user profiles on other platforms than the web interface where you can just directly write the wanted person's user name to the url field. Miiverse search doesn't allow you to search for users, specific posts or anything useful. It only allows to search for Miiverse's communities names.

As an example I was trying for a week to find Reggie's user profile and it just isn't possible in Miiverse itself, but I did find on PC but couldn't add the profile as to Follow it. One evening it was however possible during this week so I immediately marked him as followed.

What is possible on web interface still is to remove the follow mark, but then the whole button disappears after that and it is not possible to mark user again followed, unless you go to the Wii U/3DS app and do it there, if you can find the same user somehow.

And seriously, they need to give access to private messaging to friends in the web interface. It is really difficult to keep conversations going with people when you can only do that in Wii U Miiverse. Hopefully this all will be sorted when they make the unified user account system so that 3DS has the same friend lists also.

It really is a poopy name.

They should've just called it Super 3DS, because the buttons and all. Would make more sense and normal non-gaming people would know immediately that ok, this is something different from the old ones.

Same with Wii U. Who the hell in Kyoto came up with that stupid name. It should've been Wii 2 and devices would have been flying off the shelves to customers.

I wonder why Nintendo doesn't talk about the oldest pillar that they still are doing. The hanafuda and poker etc cards.

I have a set of each and those are just incredibly well done, very excellent quality.

Still waiting for the inevitable Virtual Boy VC on 3DS. Just make it already damn it...

Lost World is really horrible game, it's not as tragic buggy crap as the abomination that was Sonic Boom, but oh man I hate the controls in Lost World. The homing attack is the worst idea ever to be done to Sonic games.

Especially since it can't be turned off and the gameplay is built on that annoying stupid feature of an attack.

With Nicalis as a publisher, I don't have my hopes up that this will ever get released in Wii U European eShop.

The most tragic part is that the developer is from Greece. European dev's game, never to be released in Europe for Wii U. You'll see.

Why the hell is the release date listed here as Q4 2015? Wasn't it supposed to be Q2 which is also stupid and typical Nintendo behaviour.

I just really hope they will put out the Virtual Boy line on 3DS VC.

There weren't that many games released for the platform and like five of those were only great. So release those, keep the head exploding red&black color as optional, but make other colour setups as the default ones like classic Gameboy green&black and white&black.

The 3D games like Wario Land, Mario Tennis, Tetris 3D just scream for a re-release on 3DS.

I think Zangeki no Reginleiv was one of those amazing games that Europe and North America never got. I also think there was a fan translation of this game as there was for Fatal Frame 4?

Cool, Affordable Space Adventures is the most desired indie game of this year for me.

Hopefully Moon Chronicles will come to Europe some day during this year.
