It's funny because they said there would be a PC version, but I never saw it released anywhere.

I don't know why people are acting surprised.
My perception is that the Switch is a replacement for the WiiU, not meant to replace the 3DS.
3DS isn't going anywhere. Sure the Switch will have mobile functionality, but I see it entirely different than what the 3DS would offer.
3DS is "pocket gaming" while the Switch is "home/console gaming".
It's more apt to compare it to the WiiU's existing GamePad, how you can play on the TV, or on the GamePad itself. Just with the Switch, everything is in the GamePad itself.
The WiiU GamePad you can pick up and go (within range) as needed, but it's not something you're going to whip out for a few minutes at a time, as you would with the 3DS.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who would love to see a Picross 3D 2 English release. I've been playing my import copy, and almost done with the puzzles, but would be happy to play again on an English copy.

Oh man, the entitlement outrage that this game has generated.

I'd love to see a new game with Alfendi.
And still waiting for Fantasy Life 2...

Considering Blizzard and Valve have been pretty fantastic at making longform videos out of their games, I hope Nintendo follows in those similar footsteps.

I miss the times when new firmware updates meant cool new features...

You know what? I actually would be interested to see what they do with a live-action Pokemon movie.
Definitely wouldn't be quick to dismiss the idea without something to show for it.

As mentioned elsewhere, there is an English subtitle track that does have the English localization names. Just right-click and choose "alt"

And for anyone not familiar with how Crunchyroll works, episodes are first released for Premium users, and then made available free a week later.

RIP Atlus.

I've... Collecting far far too many badges. Close to 3000.
I feel the shame.

Looking forward to revisit Zack & Wiki! One of the most memorable Wii games.

Maybe Nintendo would be smart and hire you to make an official Zelda Maker.

Unlikely, but it's a nice thought.

Right now, I'm buying most of my games as physical retail, only because I'm getting the 20% off through Best Buy's GCU.
If that runs out, then I'll go back to download-only, since the convenience of download is really awesome.
I just wish that downloading games was cheaper than buying the physical game. Since it's much more convenient to have the game as download.

New update breaks the homebrew exploits in Youtube and the Web Browser.
Which is a bummer, since that was the only way I could play Rhythm Heaven 3DS.

I'm probably going to be getting this eventually, because I'm a huge sucker and need the Portal, Doctor Who, and BTTF worlds. NEED THEM.

Boo.

I do not want to be store hunting.

As long as they make it easy for me to order online, and give clear times when orders start, then I don't care. I will have them all.

Got my pre-order in. GCU and $5 gift card. BAM!

I feel like I'm missing something. What exactly is the problem here?

And as others pointed out, the whole crowdfunding the settlement fees was rather tacky.

Meh, the whole thing smells funky, on both sides.
However, the guy really should have known better than using copyrighted characters in advertising for a business, without permission.

I'm a bit Chibi-Robo fan. I'd love for an English NA release sequel in the style of the first game. That was pure magic.

Most amiibo boxes have the box art shown in the same pose as the amiibo inside. But it's totally different here. Suspicious?

I don't see the issue with having it ported to another system. More games on more systems is a good thing.
I never really cared about this game, and I'm pretty much done caring about anything Ubisoft is putting out. Meh.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! Can hardly contain my excitement! I love this developer. Their games ooze that special something more than just about anything else.

@Pinkman another thing to consider is that everyone is going to naturally find the weapon that they prefer and feel most comfortable with. Not much incentive to change to a different weapon.
Someone who is highly comfortable with the aspects of one weapon can use it to much more benefit compared to someone who constantly switches to whatever is newest.

That in of itself could be a problem, as there should be more options to encourage people to try out other weapons. Items like headgear will level up with additional features, but weapons do not seem to do so, and once in a lobby you cannot change weapons between matches. I think that may be worth adding in a future update.

All in all, I'm surprised in how much I'm enjoying the game, and I have not found the level differences to detract from my enjoyment or ability to win/lose. It's pretty even, and comes down to practice, skill, strategy, and a bit of luck.

Just some random thoughts.

I'm just excited that Nintendo is open to embracing concepts such as Humble Bundle.
The Humble folks are really quite phenomenal, so it's great to see companies like Nintendo working with them.

Ok, I've gotta admit... This actually made me pretty excited to even consider buying Lego Dimensions.

This is on-par with iTunes, who recently raised prices in the AppStore. Nintendo isn't trying to pick on Canada or anything.

This sounds like FAR too much work to be of any real value.
There are far far too many puzzles, though.
The limits Nintendo adds for how many coins you can earn per day slows things down as well.
There is no way anyone could ever obtain all the
puzzles through any normal sort of use of the 3DS.

I absolutely love the puzzles, and the whole StreetPass thing. I don't like how you can only have 10 games registered at once.

I use the Raspberry Pi trick to generate unlimited StreetPasses for me. It doesn't ruin any sort of enjoyment though, since there are, as I said, so MANY puzzles, that I am able to play for as long as I want through the games, without reaching "the end".

This just shows that Nintendo needs to change something, so people don't need to resort to convoluted roundabouts.

Thanks for the heads up! Just ordered mine!
I've been wanting one of these badly!
Also picking up a new AC cable, as my current one is slightly beat up after a run-in with the vacuum. -_-

@Ron1212 Haha, fair enough! The game definitely surprised me.

@Ron1212 Sorry to hear you're not enjoying the articles.
Myself, I find them quite amusing. Have you tried playing the game? It's a lot more fun than I expected. I've put in over 60 hours so far.

Otherwise, if you don't like something, feel free to not read it.

I'm really enjoying this game so far, even though I've only been playing as a Miner and Angler. I can't believe how much stuff is in this game!

I have Theatrhythm pre-ordered. But I'm still deciding whether to get digital or physical. I'll need to clear room on my SD card if I go digital.

I wouldn't count on a WiiU release.
It would be great to have it on WiiU, but with a delay like this, it's like why bother? The vast majority of the people who want the game will already have it on another platform (or two.)
The story is good, the concept is good, but they need to do something about the controls and frustrating AI. I'd much rather them focus on improving the game for other platforms first, rather than a rushed WiiU port just to please the WiiU folks. (Who will then be disappointed by the rushed game, and then Ubisoft will be further justified against taking the WiiU seriously.)
It's a no-win situation, folks..

Let's just be happy that we have plenty of awesome first-party games from Nintendo.

It's pretty smart of Nintendo.
Not everyone wants to download, or is able to download, all of these games. So having a physical version of these games just makes sense, to the people who want to play the games, and plain business sense.

Personally, I have my 500GB external drive, and prefer directly downloading my games. I just recognize that not everyone has that same luxury ability.

Oh, hey.... By the way, in case you weren't aware by now..
Mario hits blocks with his fist, not his head.

I hope they bring that to NA. So cool.

Unfortunately, I agree that the DS / 3DS ports are really disappointing.
PLEASE, if you're reading this, don't let this versions score of a 1 to detract you from giving Myst a chance. The version on Steam, or on iPhone/iPad are well deserving of your gaming attention, and are ported directly by the original developers.
This is a game that has stood the test of time. (The whole series, in fact)
Just... not so much in terms of porting.

Kinda weird pre-ordering something without knowing how much it'll cost, or even when it'd be released.
Then again, I guess it doesn't do much difference pre-ordering now, rather than later. Although I never did understand 'partial' pre-orders either.

I'm not pre-ordering the WiiU. If I'm going to be getting it day-1, I'll be waiting in line for it at launch.

AHA! I KNEW I remembered playing Donkey Kong and Game & Watch Gallery in color, so I was confused when the 3DS Virtual Console versions were so flat and B&W.
I had emailed Nintendo support about it, and they seemed clueless about what I was talking about.
Glad to see that I am not crazy.

Uh.... the Wii has ALWAYS been designed to sit either vertically OR horizontally. There is nothing SHOCKING or REVOLUTIONARY about 'that' bit of 'news'.

But like I said in the other article, I think it's rather lame if they're really pulling support for gamecube games. Maybe they're just updating the firmware to allow saving to SD cards...... ? #optimist

Oh come on, I hope that this isn't going to be a main "redesign". I don't think Nintendo would pull a move like that and yank backward compatibility. They would have learned from Sony what a move that is. So hopefully that's just a bundle-only version, and not a "Ok everyone, here you go!" version.
