Well, 1,5 years later still no Limbo anywhere on Wii U. This would have been perfect last year to come to Wii U. I wonder what happened to Double Eleven who was handling the port.
Graphically that looks like a kind of rip off of Limbo, Feist and Badland.
But Typoman was really great, so lets see how this will shape up!
Limbo was rated to come to Wii U a year ago, I wonder where in the world is that game and why Double Eleven has not released it. They were reportedly the responsible entity for the console ports.
Haha, that's like super fat DS. Especially horrible is the Gameboy Advance SP headphone adapter still there and not just a 3,5mm hole.
I had a Graphite Black original DS that was amazing, shame I had to sell it to afford a black DS Lite on it's launch. DS was such an amazing device, the last region free Nintendo gaming device, before they shot themselves in the foot and region locked everything after DSi came out. Graphite Black was not even sold in Europe, it was bought from Asia from the amazing Lik Sang, that had to close down because Sony sued them at some point. That shop was the best. So much better than the likes of Play-Asia can ever even dream of.
Specs are no problem for a device like this. The problem is that how lazy devs will be. They need to make games and also port some games well and really use their brains instead of trying easy cash ins.
The good thing about Switch seems to be that it's really versatile and flexible in that it has proper Unity and Unreal Engine 4 support. Would be interesting to see also id tech bend to Switch.
I almost bought the original game for Wii U now on discount, but I'm surprised to see that the devs left out Europe for the release of the sequel. That just sucks.
I wonder now that Amazon Prime Video is available in +200 countries, would they care enough to unlock the app to be downloaded in countries like Finland now? I have the weak Amazon Prime Video now in testing, but the amount of content is incredibly bad.
Last visited the park in Osaka Broadway about 6-7 years ago. Will visit in 2020 or 2021 for sure when my daughter is around the appropriate age so she can understand and have fun there.
This is going to be so cool theme park experience.
Articificial demand is a funny creation, because Nintendo doesn't also earn as much as they could. They are really dumb. Because with proper supplies of goods, they would've been the kings of Christmas market.
Really surprising considering Nintendo was the publisher and funder of the original game.
But it's great, the best Lego game gets another chance at life and all gamers get to experience it. I'm really excited that it's coming out on PC and Switch.
I hope they fix everything that was nagged about in the original game. They will have to remove all the gamepad related activities however which is sad. But something gotta go in order for the ports to work.
But honestly, I was hoping for Lego City Undercover 2 hitting Switch more than just porting the old game. This series definitely has earned that it should get a third game as a sequel.
I have had it sideloaded since April on my Android, barely have used it in ages. Pretty much just got the special outfits they were offering every now and then. The most annoying part is the stupidity that it can't be connected to the My Nintendo account since they haven't released it globally so it gives error since countries don't match.
So it takes over 1gb of space in my phone, but I can't delete since I will lose everything if uninstalled. The thing is, I would like to uninstall it to save precious space.
I wonder who gives a crap as long as Miitomo is so limited released in just a few countries instead of globally. Same also for DeNA's Super Mario Run since it's only going to be an iOS game instead of a proper mobile game for all phones. Sometimes I feel Nintendo just likes to shoot themselves to the foot on purpose.
Well that's just behaviour from Warner Bros once again. Just got Lego StaWa Ep7 yesterday and finally thought maybe I can play the c3po red arm mission etc, but once again WB has crapped their pants.
WB needs to be run down with a bulldozer.
And anyway this kind of business decisions are the lowest of loweest crap. Deciding to cut content from the game as DLC before the game is even ready.
Yeah no thanks, what makes this the most annoying crap ever is that I got a My Nintendo notification about this and it doesn't even show up in the rewards lists because Nintendo is lazy and stupid enough not to release the Miitomo app globally.
Why in the world would they send a notification to users from countries that Nintendo doesn't want to even support?
I absolutely love the fact that the characters names stay Japanese and the locations are in Japan and not the crap translation Japamerica style like Gyakuten Saiban turned out in Ace Attourney series.
Will be buying today immediately. Already have the discount enabled.
Streetpassing has been incredibly hard in Nordic countries already for a few years. In Finland we had only Nintendo Zones in local burger chain Hesburger and even that stopped so now we have none.
Huh, I saw this exact Famicom Mini ripoff console in one Don Quixote already on the shelf being sold this week? Maybe it was an older non-HDMI version of this.
Chase: Cold Case Investigations - Distant Memories for sure. I'm pretty sure that will be an amazing game like all the old games from the top devs.
Never Alone has a really crazy awesome discount, every Wii U gamer who loves beautiful sidescrolling platformers should buy that. It's an excellent game, though I am quite disappointed that the developer didn't bring the Foxtales DLC to Wii U. But anyways, you also get 20 gold coins in My Nintendo for just 3 euros. So awesome game and 20 gold coins for little value. Go for it!
This would be a nice discount for Europe as well if it ever happened.
The thing that sucks with MonHun games is that the online play is not global. It killed the whole game for me in the beginning already that MonHun4 was not playable together by Japanese players and European/American players so I couldn't play the game together with my wife.
They need to offer more rewards, especially VC games etc for gold points. It's really pathetic at the moment with only Pilotwings as the reward.
Also why in the world is Miitomo still only released in a few countries? Remove it completely from My Nintendo if it is not going to be released worldwide.
Buying this immediately when I'm back home in a few weeks. Shame that there is no DLC purchase option in web. That is really weird in Nintendo's part that they messed that.
@Greenalink Well that sucks if only the physical version would have the update in it. That is actually really bs, like in the line of Intl Creates work with Mighty No 9.
Also shame as I already have both games as digital versions and will never by those for a second time as physical. Unless they give one copy for free which they will not do. How hard is it to just release a free update in the 3DS eShop damn it? Clearly if they are doing it for the physical version, the digital version is just laziness then.
I dislike Bergsala because they have next to no real presence in the Nordics. If they really want to help Nordics Nintendo presence, then become Nintendo North Europe or give Finland, Sweden, Norway, Iceland and Denmark their own Nintendo Headquarters.
We are still missing things like Miitomo and in general Nintendo is not visible in pretty much any shops. Hopefully NX will be big and change that.
I wonder what exploits did they block this time instead doing any useful real updates like adding all world maps to Streetpass Plaza and enabling the globe icon for all countries so you could view what streetpasses have you received and from which countries. Most of the world still after five years can't do that. Only select few countries can. It's quite a lot like the Miitomo case.
It is in a way funny, as Apple is yesterday's news in today's mobile market, Nintendo brings out a yesterday's game with Mario skin on it as timed exclusive on ios devices.
I never expected the Mario mobile game to be anything special and that's exactly how it was then in the end. Shame that they didn't go for a full proper release for all potential players and instead want to tackle 20% of the market.
Well, Apple most likely paid Nintendo so well that Nintendo just were blinded by the money and not give the games global unified release.
The Mario spinoff Rayman copycat game looks quite boring also. I expected it to be nothing special since the whole point is to bring more people to Nintendo's platforms from mobile and not nice versa. The game looks like a reskinned Rayman mobile game with NSMBWii graphics.
Shame that also Fire Emblem and Animal Crossing games will follow the same route of being bought to appear first on one platform only.
Still for people's sake, I hope the exclusivity period is only something like one month.
But Nintendo hasn't even now released Miitomo globally, so I'm not holding my hope that they would handle this mobile games initiative any better.
Dragon Quest VII is the cool release of the week. Finally it is here, hopefully soon next year also VIII will come.
Futuridium crossbuy is excellent deal. All cross platform games should do that, there is no reason not to do it. Except in the case of Nicalis games which have been released on both platforms. Tyrone never wants people to have fun with crossbuy.

Re: Rumour: A Miiverse Page Has Been Spotted for SEGA 3D Classics Collection 2
That would be quite amazing to suddenly get the third collection as second western collection.
Sega could really you know blow peoples minds and release Yakuza 1&2 HD collection as digital release in Wii U eShop as well.

Re: Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Makes the Jump from DS to Smart Devices
I hope Capcom makes this as a enhanced 3DS eShop release as well like the trilogy or at least releases it for Wii U as DS VC.
It's the only one missing from the 3DS library at the moment.
Re: Monster Hunter Stories Takes Number One Spot in Japan, But Falls Well Short of Main Series Sales

Re: Square Enix Teases Bravely Default News As Original Game Turns Four
I'd love for the first and second game to get a discount in eShop. The first one has been only once in discount in Europe and I missed it back then...
To raise awareness, they should bring it back to spotlight.
Re: Monster Hunter Generations Gets a Tempting Discount in North America
This would be a nice discount for Europe as well if it ever happened.
The thing that sucks with MonHun games is that the online play is not global. It killed the whole game for me in the beginning already that MonHun4 was not playable together by Japanese players and European/American players so I couldn't play the game together with my wife.

Re: Sega 3D Classics Collection 3: Final Stage To Include Mystery Title Picked By Fans
It will be some classic arcade game or Mega Drive game.
Ahh yes, it was Turbo Outrun and it was already revealed now. Three other unknown not yet revealed games will come as well.
I'm hoping Golden Axe arcade version. That hasn't been done yet and definitely has to be done. It would look glorious in 3D.
Same also for Comix Zone.
Re: Renegade Kid Closes as Co-Founders Launch Separate Studios

Re: Nintendo Download: 1st September (Europe)
It is the week of Axiom Verge and Metroid Prime Federation Force.
Going to get both for sure!
