Lets hope they update it so people can globally use it instead of just certain countries. Regional locking is idiotic.

This really needs to come out in Europe or I need to buy the American cartridge and use it with my old 3DS XL with the region free hack.

Would be cool if it had cross platform purchase enabled. But since Nicalis has been handling part of the deal, I doubt it.

Really cool to finally have SMB on Nintendo platforms where it belongs. Shame that the soundtrack is the crappy new one...

I just hope they would release it officially globally instead of the limited regional stupidity.

Oh wow, amazing to see Europe also included this time! Those are some extremely quality games. Shame I have most of these but will be purchasing for sure.

I suppose we get gold points for these in My Nintendo as well?

Could that perhaps mean that soon they will expand Miitomo to be available globally?

Awesome that Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge is coming to Europe as well this week!

Still sucks that they haven't released it globally.

Can't really care about news like these when it's meant for limited amount of people in select countries.

Couldn't care less as long as Miitomo is not released globally. It really sucks that Nordic countries have been left out.

I can use the app, but connect it to my Nintendo Account...

Oh well, bought Fire Emblem Awakening last weekend, but I'm still in Chapter 1 so I suppose I missed the DLC purchase then since it can only be bought after Chapter 4 is done...

Shame that the DLC can't be bought in the normal eShop.

Now that is awesome. Hopefully they will give the same edition to Europe as well, since in Europe the Super Nintendo looked that awesome as well.

In America it looked like an ugly gray box.

Bring back the old Sonic and Dr Robotnik. Only Tails and Knuckles as side characters and lose the rest of the crappy cast. Also lose the whiny voice acting.

Bring back the speed and fun to Sonic games. Kill the homing attack with fire and do not put that in the next Sonic games.

It was quite revealing to hear in the last Direct that the game has been so long in development. I haven't much watched the videos or anything. I don't exactly agree with all the negative comments, but it is true that 3DS is capable of so much more just in graphics department.

Can't say much more about this if it will end up like Triforce Heroes in my books or not. I do like the idea of expanding the Metroid universe, it should not be just about Samus Aran, Ridley etc.

Also the Metroid multiplayer football style game was reportedly a lot of fun when it was unveiled in the Nintendo Championships in last year.

Would be amazing to have Steamworld Heist as crossbuy on 3DS&Wii U. Shame Steamworld Dig wasn't. Though I did the weird one and bought the game on both platforms anyway.

Awesome to finally get to see Lost Reavers.

Also really good that the Nintendo Selects Wii U games are coming. I really hope this increases especially the sales of Lego City Undercover, it's still one of the best Wii U games made.

I still don't get it why do the points expire after six months. Seems like the dumbest idea ever thought up. It's digital points, those should never expire.

Or if there needs to be an expiry date for earned points, put something like two years as the limit.

I hope they give more content soon to My Nintendo rewards, make more Missions available and restructure the gold points amount ranges.

Miitomo also needs to be released globally and stop with the stupid regional releases for a social media app.

I feel ashamed that I put money in this project. The demo felt ok, but nothing revolutionary and it wasn't as great as Mega Man games. The graphics look really weak when they decided to go for 3D models instead of more like the original concept art.

The most useless part of the game is the online mode that nobody asked for. And apparently that is the excuse used for the postponing of the release, because the online is not working. The single player story part of the game is supposedly done already.

I am still wishing that they will give the Wii U & 3DS as cross purchase option like they are doing with PS4, PS3 and Vita.

But yeah, I am not buying or supporting anymore Inafune games ever. It starts to be clear why Capcom let him go.

It's beyond hilarious that Inafune's Xbox One game has been postponed also to somewhere in the future years.

One thing I don't get by the way is that you can login and link your Google+ account, but there is no Platinum award for that? Wth?

Still hoping for it actually to be released globally instead of limited in just a few countries.

Will continue to sideload it in the meanwhile on Android. Shame just that I can't connect it to my Nintendo Account and so can't get any platinum points...

@Captain_Toad Yeah, I remember reading something like that. Shame...

I hope Madworld comes to Wii VC soon. Now that's a hardcore Platinumgames creation that I would like to see.

@Kamalisk

It's exactly like that, the European/UK site is a total mess. The old pages are still there, the confusing UK official store is there and both it and the "eShop pages" have download purchase links which doesn't make any sense.

Shibata & co. really need to up their game, because this looks like cheaply done crap.

Miitomo I can't really say since Nintendo has intentionally region blocked the app so I can't officially download it and can't link it to my Nintendo Account because of country restrictions.

They really need to release it globally and soon. And forget about the localizing in various languages, just release it in English.

My Nintendo is a stepdown in a way from Club Nintendo, but since my country was never part of Club Nintendo, it is a step up for me. Finally get to be part of some Nintendo extra activity. The My Nintendo itself is really barebones at the moment. It really needs more content and with a fast pace.

Also Nintendo needs to put in future also physical purchases to receive gold points with a point card like in old Club Nintendo was.

They also desperately need to fix the absolutely stupid price range with the gold coins. It needs to be 4.99-9.98 for 10 coins, then 9.99-19.98 for 20 coins since a ton of software is priced 9.99 so it's total bs that you only get 10 for that and then zero gold points for nes vc purchases.

Also they need to include DLC into the points program.

American eShop looks great, fresh and easy to use. The European one looks horrible. They need to make one unified eshop page for Europe under www.nintendo-europe.com

The shop needs to have a shopping cart for multipurchase and I don't understand where is the wishlist functionality in the web eShop that is in Wii U and 3DS already?

Could NintendoLife please do a really detailed guide for the website eshop as it seems only the American website was properly updated?

Why couldn't they just open one shop under www.nintendo.com and then from the account locale determine the currency etc.

Or do www.nintendo-europe.com/eshop or something like that and make that for all European countries.

I can find some games to purchase digitally through the nintendo.co.uk website, but it's really difficult to find anything and navigate. The american website looks amazing compared to the UK/European one.

Got the apk from Android Police's apkmirror.com, but really sucks regarding to the regional blocking. Hopefully Nintendo opens this soon so it doesn't become another eternal regionally available thing for just some people.

Really sucks that it's region blocked. I have the apk of Miitomo and it works alright, but when trying to link it to my Finnish Nintendo Account, it tells me that my country of residence is wrong.

In Nordic countries we use english anyway in apps so they should just release this now. I will definitely not even try it out if they try to force to use Finnish language in the app only.

yeah this for sure will not happen in Europe. Most of the countries were not even part of Club Nintendo.

Does this website for eShop purchases actually exist for all European countries or is again some localized crap? Since I can't seem to find anything else except the direct link to Flipnote Studio 3D.

I am from Finland and we have a localized Nintendo webpage done by the Nordics distributor Bergsala and it does not have any shop interface so is there some generic shop site for European customers? I'd like to try out if there is some shopping cart functionality for multipurchase or do we still need to buy each game separately one by one.

They really need to implement the shopping cart functionality to 3DS, Wii U and web eShops.

Otherwise that point reward range is just crazy.

They already have a wishlist, so why not also a shopping cart for full experience.

Also, in the left side menu you can see the option "Redeem a point card" which means what was mentioned in Nintendo's slides presentation a few months ago. The physical game rewards will come in the future. I'd hope that it's already in place by the time Star Fox Zero arrives. Most likely the old Club Nintendo points cards will be replaced by My Nintendo cards.

Shame that it is the gimped western version of it. I tested it once and don't really see any point for it since there is no Miiverse integration, there is no sane way to share created Flipnotes.

It should be community based and have proper internet connection to Flipnote galleries. The world is filled with amazing artists that could make some awesome animations with this. I can't create anything, but I'd like to download and see other peoples creations.

Where is the store in Europe actually, is there some one unified webpage for it? I only found the Flipnote Studio 3D page through My Nintendo's link, but otherwise I can't find any shop page.

Is it under UK for whole Europe or how does this work? Our localized Finnish website is just the local distributor Bergsala's page that is nothing like the normal Nintendo webpages.

I would like to test if there is some shopping basket functionality so that you can buy more than one game at a time for better integration of the gold points rewards.

E: Ok, I found somehow hidden under a pile of webpages and webpages the singular pages in Europe for the games that can be bought. The price range is dumb since many games are 9.99€ so you will only get 10 gold points when you should get 20 points. They really need to add that shopping cart functionality in to the 3DS, Wii U and web eshops. I won't be buying much anything before the shopping cart is included.

There are some DSi games that I would like to buy and play. For example Wayforward's couple of Mighty series games. Also Dark Void Zero was one interesting.

I haven't bought those since DSi is so restricted that the games are hardware locked to one console and can't even be transferred apparently to another console if I would want to. Also there are no discounts in the DSi shop and the games are a bit over priced. I hope for a 3DS re-release version for better integration.

@improviser

I was hoping the same since I never got to be part of the real Club Nintendo. I have over 50 eShop games bought and I kind of hope now that I had not bought any of those since there is no retrospective way of getting the gold points.

Is there already the possibility in the browser web eshop to buy games in a shopping cart so you can buy many at the same time?

Otherwise the gold points system is stupid because of the way the price ranges have been put. A game with a price of 9.99 should give you 20 gold points and not 10. One cent cheat.

And I really hope they start making more missions to be done, I already did all mine and since because of Nintendo's decision I don't have Miitomo in Finland etc. then there is no way to get more. Next week I can only get 60 points more because of the weekly things. Since the points disappear after six months for some weird reason, then it will take forever to get points for Zelda Picross and/or Warioware Touched on 3DS.

I can only get 1560 more platinum points in six months unless they make many many more missions.

I am mostly pissed that I can't get retroactively anything out of My Nintendo, since Finland was for reasons unknown never part of Club Nintendo officially, I got no benefits for digitally bought games.

Also I was such a stupid guy that I went and bought Starfox 64 last week on Virtual Console. Only after buying the game I realized that I don't get anything from My Nintendo, but now people who buy it from yesterday onwards get all the benefits. Really annoying.

Also, did you guys notice that there is in the menu a Redeem a point code section. This very likely is the thing that comes in the future latest with NX, hopefully with also this year's Wii U and 3DS games, meaning the physical games points cards like in the old Club Nintendo system.

Finland here reporting!

Just linked my NNID to my Nintendo Account and logged in to My Nintendo. Damn that Zelda Picross platinum points gathering will take forever since there are just so few Platinum missions available.

I need to contact Nintendo and ask why is it even in this Nintendo Account that the account history starts in december 2013 and everything I bought before that on my 3DS is only visible in my 3DS account history, but not in Wii U NNID history or this new Nintendo Account history. I would like my full history to be available.

I also went and remote put Flipnote Studio 3D to be downloaded into my 3DS at home. Will be fun to see if it really downloaded when I get back home.

I wonder at what time today are we allowed to login and create the Nintendo Account with our NNID?

It's 6:30 in Finland now in the morning, not allowed yet...

@Judgedean I really hoped they would do the update so that accounts would no longer be locked to hardware.

@BornInNorway81 tomorrow Nintendo Account and My Nintendo will become available.

Miitomo for Nordic countries will take forever I suppose, because Nintendo wants to translate and localize it to the local languages.

Digital full game pricing needs to go way down, not just on Nintendo's eShop, but on PSN as well.

It's insane to have to pay for a digital purchase more than for the disc version, it should be completely opposite.

And of course in order for digital to really work, Nintendo needs to open up the system and remove the hardware locking of the accounts. It needs to be more open so that you can easier manage what you own on your own consoles.

It was an interesting demo and it looked really awesome. Very crisp and detailed. How many characters are in the game of the 700+ Pokemons?

Pokemon franchise however is not for me. It holds nothing special of value. If it was an open world game for Wii U, I'd buy it out of interest though.

The intro video looked amazing with the villages etc. Would be amazing to travel around in a proper world freely. Then I might get deeply involved with Pokemon franchise and to know the lore.

I wish Warner would stop being a jackass and release the season pass for Lego Batman 3 as well. There is no reason the season pass wasn't made available for Wii U back then.

Would be amazing for Nintendo rescue one lost cult project again.

Michel Ancel is a game designer legend and would be simply amazing to see his game get the funding and release like Bayonetta 2 did.

I really really hope Sega brings the 3D Classics Collection from M2 to Europe as well. Or at least Puyo Puyo 2 and Power Drift as digital releases.

Awesome to see Mutant Mudds Super Challenge coming to 3DS and Wii U in both Eu and Americas at the same time and with cross purchase enabled. I just hope Jools would release Moon Chronicles also.

Really puzzling that there waa no mention of this in the European Direct. I hope it's coming here as well this year.

Shame that it will most likely have the crappy music instead of the PC original.

But still awesome news. Really cool to finally see SMB on Nintendo platform.

It seems a bit weird to me that a 10 year old game from previous two generations can't be made to run 60fps and 1080p on Wii U. The machine is no weakling when you look at Nintendo's other releases and 3rd party games like Fast Racing Neo.

Funny thing is, I read something that the other versions get again a newer version on Monday?

I wish AVGN will come to discount in Europe after Nintendo Account goes live next month.

Still waiting for Woah Dave! to come to Europe. Have been playing it on PS Vita and it's quite funny old school style arcade game.
