My prayers have been answered! I am definitely getting this for Christmas. Also, don't worry Americans, I'm sure you'll get the Red Wii and All-Stars soon (@GamesX99 To be fair, the EU is usually worse off than NA).
I don't have a Wii, so I'd kill for this. Nintendo is just cruel making this Japan-only. Please, you've already given Japan the DSi XL and Super Mario All-Stars, it's not fair that they get EVERYTHING.
I almost broke my cousin's TV once when we were playing the Wii in his living room. It was during Swordplay on Wii Sports Resort, and I kept getting angry at this opponent who was really good, so I swung the Wii Remote really hard and it went flying into the TV. At least I won the round. @Sadman Your new avatar is awesome, and disturbing.
@Victoria Lucky, I live down south in Bath, and wouldn't be able to go anyway, I'm just a kid and no way would my dad drive me to Leicestershire to play videogames. Oh well, I guess I was just born too late.
@Arkaein I just wanna say thanks for bringing Thorium Wars here (at a lower price AND improved). From the trailer it looks fantastic, I can't wait to DL it.
@leifertin Welcome to NL, but remember, Learning With the PooYoos is meant for toddlers (and is very good according to the review). Also, you don't know what you're missing out on, not having a DS.
Ah, good old HMV. I only go there for the games, cause I have no interest in music (which is their main area) but they always have great selection. Even though they overcharge for everything.
The picture makes it look like everyone in Britain has a lovely house. Mine's awesome, but I live in Bath, the most beautiful city in Britain. And where I'm from, the Wii ain't all that popular, unfortunately.
Oh god, I can't believe Nintendo got the worst possible British celebs they could find. It really does not get worse than this. Terry Wogan - He's tried so hard but never entertained me. Only popular with women in their 60s. Jamie Redknapp and Wag - Great idea, ask a Scouser for his opinion. Dame Helen Mirren - Probably doesn't know who Mario is. Ant and Dec - No one cares about them anymore. JLS - Like McFly, but with even less talent. Basically I hate them. X Factor People - Three (or four, if Jedward count as two) talentless losers from my least favourite TV show.
The only thing Nintendo could do to make this worse is add Brucie Forsyth into the mix. Being British sucks.
@Gavin Yeah, I refuse to wait six months while our friends across the pond brag about how great their Shantae is, while all we get from NoE is the Petz series.
(Imagine if NL give Shantae a 5/10, I think it would break my heart)
I would enter this but I'd probably fail and then get really upset when I come last. I remember Mario vs Luigi mode on NSMB DS...the tension is just too much. Then again, everyone's an XBOX fan around here, so I can imagine being the only one to enter.
Great line-up. By the way, has anyone heard of Cubic Ninja? It's a platforming game coming out for the 3DS, and from the single screenshot of it, it looks awesome.
No, no, no, no, no. Nintendo, this is what the Wii needs less of, not more of. We need more of what the XBOX 360 has. Are you trying to steer hardcore gamers away?
No one would ever think about putting this kind of crap on the 360, so why do they put it on the Wii? That's the Wii's problem. 90% of the good games are Nintendo games. Which is probably because the Wii has a wider audience, meaning kids will fall for shovelware.

Shame, looks great from the screenshots.
Re: Rumour: Limited Edition Red Wii Europe-Bound Before Christmas
My prayers have been answered! I am definitely getting this for Christmas. Also, don't worry Americans, I'm sure you'll get the Red Wii and All-Stars soon (@GamesX99 To be fair, the EU is usually worse off than NA).
Re: Review: Luigi's Mansion (GameCube)
I'd like to try this out. Hope Ninty put a remake on the Wii.
Re: Review: Learning with the PooYoos - Episode 3 (WiiWare)
Lol, handsomegamer, welcome to NL.
Re: Surprise! Pikachu DSi Charger Coming to North America
Not very long ago that picture was my avatar!
Re: Nintendo Considered Monthly Fee for 3DS Always-On Internet
Yeah, who needs to be connected to the internet all the time anyway?
Re: Vitality Sensor Details and Game Ideas Emerge in Patent Application
The British spell words in strange ways and the Americans feel the need to rename everything. Anyway, this Vitality Sensor is intruiging.
Re: Nintendo Download: 12th and 13th October 2010 (Japan)
Not the best of weeks. It amazes me that the people who make the GG Series games can churn more out every month.
Re: Neverdaunt:8Bit MMO
is it a download?
Re: Don't Expect Any 3DS Titles From Epic Games Anytime Soon
Heh heh, the man is a stupid, thinks 3DS is less technically capable than the iPhone.
Re: Wii Remote With MotionPlus Built-In Launches in Japan Next Month
@Xkhaoz Maybe Nintendo'll release a wireless Nunchuk some day. That would be so awesome. If not, the Wii's successor will surely have one.
Re: Review: FIFA 11 (Wii)
Football games aren't great for the Wii, I'd much rather get the 360 version.
Re: Review: Rummikub (DSiWare)
Don't come to Europe. Just don't.
Re: Review: Petz Catz Family (DSiWare)
I feel sorry for you guys, having to review these games. I salute you.
Re: Super Mario Collection Heading to Europe in December
Thanks, James. Definitely gonna buy this.
Re: Super Mario Collection Heading to Europe in December
Still want the Red Wii, but thank you NoE, you have earned 1 reputation point. @James What games does this include?
Americans, I hope you will get it too. If not, you have my sympathy.
Re: Japan Receives Red Wii in Honour of Mario's 25th
I don't have a Wii, so I'd kill for this. Nintendo is just cruel making this Japan-only. Please, you've already given Japan the DSi XL and Super Mario All-Stars, it's not fair that they get EVERYTHING.
Re: Academy: Tic-Tac-Toe Chooses Champions from October 15th
Wait, I have to pay for this? I have to pay for noughts and crosses? I second longtimegamer's comment. This is just lame.
Re: Wii Responsible for Worrying Wave of Bystander Injuries
I almost broke my cousin's TV once when we were playing the Wii in his living room.

Re: Review: Gods vs. Humans (WiiWare)
Looks beautiful, but way too expensive.
Re: Review: Shantae: Risky's Revenge (DSiWare)
I can't really say it was a great review Corbie, 'cause I didn't read it after you told me not to.
Seriously though, I wish I could DL it, but it's not in Europe yet. Come on WayForward, America isn't the only place in the world that wants Shantae!
Re: Interviews: WayForward - Shantae: Risky's Revenge
What a nice guy, I can't wait to see what he has in store for 3DS. And his wife is a genius.
Only one thing in this interview disappointed me, which is that you didn't ask Matt about a European release date, cos I can't wait to DL this gold!
Re: Retro Computer Museum Event Incoming
@Victoria Lucky, I live down south in Bath, and wouldn't be able to go anyway, I'm just a kid and no way would my dad drive me to Leicestershire to play videogames. Oh well, I guess I was just born too late.
Re: Extinguish DSiWare Fires in Go! Go! Island Rescue!
Hopefully it plays better than it looks. It seems like one of those games the DSiWare has too many of already.
Re: Bit.Trip FATE Soundtrack Available For Sale Before the Actual Game
The soundtrack is a very important part of Bit. Trip.
Re: Nintendo Download: 8th October 2010 (Europe)
@Arkaein I just wanna say thanks for bringing Thorium Wars here (at a lower price AND improved). From the trailer it looks fantastic, I can't wait to DL it.
Re: Nintendo Download: 4th October 2010 (North America)
@leifertin Welcome to NL, but remember, Learning With the PooYoos is meant for toddlers (and is very good according to the review). Also, you don't know what you're missing out on, not having a DS.
Re: Prepare for Celebrity Overload in Nintendo's Christmas Campaign
@PSICoffee Lol.
@LuWiiGi JLS only sound half-decent because of AutoTune, and no, Redknapp doesn't still play, he's a Sky Sports pundit with biased opinions.
Re: Review: NBA Jam (Super Nintendo)
Great review, Spencer, you desribed the game very well. Looks fantastic for its time, it's hard to believe those are SNES graphics.
Re: UK Retailer HMV Tickled Pink About Upcoming 3DS Launch
Ah, good old HMV. I only go there for the games, cause I have no interest in music (which is their main area) but they always have great selection. Even though they overcharge for everything.
Re: StreetPass Being Looked into for Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D
I really don't want to see games ported to 3DS where the only difference is the 3D, so this is good news.
@PunnyGuy Lovin' the new avatar! It reminds me of Kirby's Epic Yarn.
Re: Datamine
Looks interesting.
Re: Nintendo Download: 8th October 2010 (Europe)
An interesting week, for a change. Funnily enough, neither Thorium Wars nor Datamine appeared on the Ninty website, but both sound awesome.
Re: The First Nintendo Console to Play DVDs was the NES
So cool.
Re: Nintendo Claims 1 in 3 UK Homes Owns a Wii
The picture makes it look like everyone in Britain has a lovely house. Mine's awesome, but I live in Bath, the most beautiful city in Britain.
And where I'm from, the Wii ain't all that popular, unfortunately.
Re: Multiplayer Brawling Comes to DSiWare with Cosmo Fighters
Cool! DSiWare is starting to become awesome again.

Oh god, I can't believe Nintendo got the worst possible British celebs they could find. It really does not get worse than this.
Terry Wogan - He's tried so hard but never entertained me. Only popular with women in their 60s.

Re: Be Britain's Best Nintendo Gamer and Win a 3DS
I would enter this but I'd probably fail and then get really upset when I come last. I remember Mario vs Luigi mode on NSMB DS...the tension is just too much. Then again, everyone's an XBOX fan around here, so I can imagine being the only one to enter.
Re: Our Nintendo Life Begins...
Wow, the very beginning. This is before they knew it was the Wii. And now, NintendoLife is the best gaming site on the interweb.
Re: Review: M.C. Kids (NES)
Great review, new guy. By the way, I read somewhere that Yo! Noid is unbelievably difficult.
Re: Mario and Sonic Olympics was Yuji Naka's Idea, says Yuji Naka
Once you look past the exterior, underneath Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games is another boring, repetitive minigame collection.
Re: Feast Your Eyes on 3DS's Launch Line Up in Japan
Great line-up. By the way, has anyone heard of Cubic Ninja? It's a platforming game coming out for the 3DS, and from the single screenshot of it, it looks awesome.
Re: Review: Wii Party (Wii)
No, no, no, no, no. Nintendo, this is what the Wii needs less of, not more of. We need more of what the XBOX 360 has. Are you trying to steer hardcore gamers away?
Re: Review: FIZZ (DSiWare)
Looks good, but the lack of online leaderboards or any extras is a turn-off for me.
Re: Marvelous Willing to Bring Muramasa: The Demon Blade to the 3DS
Gimme gimme gimme!
Re: Nintendo Download: 5th & 6th October 2010 (Japan)
Nice week. But I think NoJ must have given up on WiiWare.
Re: Review: Zenonia (DSiWare)
Welcome to NL, Collision_Cat! I agree with you. Also, your avatar and name are awesome.
Re: Review: Goosebumps HorrorLand (Wii)

Re: Review: Pang: Magical Michael (DS)
I think the backgrounds look quite nice. But this is not for me.
