Remind me again how bejeweled knockoffs, bubble shooters and freaking TETRIS qualify as "arcade classics?" This shovelware dev is having one hell of a laugh.
@Zach777 Yeah, and I don't care about Layton so it's not good enough. If we so much got as much a reason for why eu got it delayed but na didn't i would be fine, but nope, it's just America gets it on time, eu gets it..... whenever, so I'm still pissed about it.
@Pinecallado They probably figure as long as DSiWare still exists, they can use it as an excuse to put even less effort into their games and make a quick buck. Nintendo really needs to axe DSiWare and fast, to stop this surge of crap the eshop's been getting as of late and enforce some quality control before it becomes another App Store.
@Linkstrikesback Err, yes you did. Just because Wii U is doing worse than GameCube did in the same timeframe does not mean GameCube can be discounted as a failure.
Aww poor Sonic. Not surprised though, the boxart isn't exactly appealing, and the enemies on the front have to be some of the most generic things I've ever seen.
Wario's Woods! WARIO'S FREAKING WOODS!!!! Man I am so getting this. Wish it was the superior snes version, but this'll do! Maybe I can finally beat it with 3DS save states.
@ThomasBW84 Darn, I guess we'll have to wait and see. If it's a mini Four Swords multiplayer mode I'd jump for joy, but I expect it'll be something along the lines of PH/ST's Force Gem multiplayer mode.
@ThomasBW84 I suppose that makes sense, I just wish I could make out the text that's written on the shield, the picture's too small to make it out though. I take it you guys are unaware of what the NN logo is for in this game if the code is only for a VC game?
@Humphries90 Where did you see that? Even so, that doesn't explain what the NN functions are, so there is still a possibility it's in-game DLC as nothing has been said about what NN is for in this game.
DLC CONFIRMED???? I wish some site would elaborate on just WHAT the Nintendo Network stuff is. I'm getting concerned now I know it's DLC of some kind....
Don't know mate. It was meant to be september but of course that turned out to be not true, someone on the review page claims november but didn't give a date. It's quite vague so I'm not optimistic about it, and the fact that NLife won't alter the release date to something other than september is annoying too.
@Morph They don't bother taking physical accessories into account I think. That said I can't think of many games with accessories on 3DS or Wii U besides WiiPU, Karoake and Wii fit U that are also on the eshop, so there's not a whole lot to judge on considering the latter 2 have a trial based way of doing things which hasn't been announced for WiiPU, but until the pricing is confirmed I expect it will be £39.99. Mind you, Lego City is £49.99 on the shop without the Lego figure which is £39.99 at retail most places.
Personally I've always thought WW Link just looks kinda goofy and is by far my least favorite Link. I came to love WW eventually, but I never warmed up to that Link.
@HaNks Meh if it was physical you can almost be guaranteed they would have ruined it by slapping on a giant USK logo on the front like they do for any game that comes in a big box these days, so DL or physical, it's lose-lose buying bundled systems imo.
@Beta Yeah, but I mean even 1st party DS titles are full RRP Mario 64 DS and Mario Kart DS, and then there's Pokemon: Typing Adventure for £50 - they've got to be nuts, they aren't offering any discounts at all.

@MetroidFan2002 Considering most Wii and DS games didn't have region locked online.... noooope.
Re: Review: Arcade Classics 3D (3DS eShop)
@WaxxyOne How? What amusement arcades have had bust-a-move and tetris in them? Because I've never seen them in one.

Re: Nintendo Download: 7th November (Europe)
Still no Picross? sigh
Re: This Beautiful Zelda-Themed N64 Console Must Surely Come from the Sacred Realm Itself
1. I HATE the "glossy plastic" effect he has done to these consoles
2. That glitter is horribly done. It's cool when it's smaller specks but they are way too big and ruin it.

Re: Super Mario Galaxy Is Eurogamer's Game of the Generation
@SuperMinusWorld Excuse me? I'm not allowed to laugh at people who make stupid comments?
Re: Super Mario Galaxy Is Eurogamer's Game of the Generation
Personally I had more fun reading all the low-scorers than actually playing the game
Re: Review: Skylanders SWAP Force (3DS)
Should be called Cashlanders - Dosh Force.

Re: Nintendo Download: 31st October (Europe)
Very, very meh week as usual.

Nice 3DS ya got there

@Linkstrikesback You forgot to add GameCube to that list.
Re: Nintendo UK Joins Japan By Calling Time On Wii, Wii Mini Expected To Fill The Void
@Gridatttack Games that require use of the gamecube ports, like DDR games.

Re: Review: Skylanders SWAP Force (Wii U)
So the general consensus is this is much better than DI then? I must admit I wasn't expecting much from it, but this sounds pleasantly surprising.
Re: Batman: Arkham Origins and Blackgate Delayed in Europe
I blame WB. They have proven themselves utterly incapable of releasing games when they're supposed to on Nintendo systems in Europe.

Re: GAME Offers Musical Chest With Collector's Edition of A Link Between Worlds
@Volmun Can't be, as Mario Party which also comes out in november has no NN logo, which would mean Miiverse won't be out on 3DS by then.

Re: UK Retailer GAME Less Than Happy With Rivals Ignoring Pokémon X & Y Street Date
@Kit Hate to say it but it took you long enough to learn to stay away from them.
Re: UK Retailer GAME Less Than Happy With Rivals Ignoring Pokémon X & Y Street Date
GAME just mad nobody bought X & Y from them.
Re: Nintendo Download: 17th October (North America)
I see 3DS is killing it with quality releases.

Re: Wii Party U Gets It Started With a Relatively Hefty File Size
Why would you even bother with the eshop version, when physical has a remote plus and a stand?
Re: Weirdness: A Mario Kart Movie Could be Epic
Sorry, but no. Stop mixing games with live-action, it's nearly always crap and I hate it. Keep games and films separate please.

Re: Nintendo Download: 17th October (Europe)
Another crap week - man Picross E3 can't get here soon enough....
Re: Review: Halloween: Trick or Treat 2 (3DS eShop)
@Bass_X0 Considering you normally need to profit off the original creation to be able to make a sequel in the first place.... yes it does.
Re: Review: Halloween: Trick or Treat 2 (3DS eShop)
I'm finding it hard to believe that a small known trash title like this was somehow popular enough to justify a sequel.
Re: Zelda: Wind Waker HD Release Triggers 685% Increase In UK Wii U Hardware Sales
@LUIGITORNADO And your point is what?
Re: Review: Picross e3 (3DS eShop)
Do you have a EU release date? And if not, can you at least fix the (obviously wrong) date you have?
Re: Nintendo UK Launches Online Retail Store
@Beta Yeah, but I mean even 1st party DS titles are full RRP Mario 64 DS and Mario Kart DS, and then there's Pokemon: Typing Adventure for £50 - they've got to be nuts, they aren't offering any discounts at all.
Re: Nintendo UK Launches Online Retail Store
Wow, charging the absolute maximum they can for everything. Disgusting.
Re: Iwata: We Never Fear Failure And Always Seek To Challenge The Status Quo
Why not get some 3rd party games on Wii U? That should be a "trend" you should follow.
Re: Nintendo Download: 10th October (Europe)
Oh come on this is getting ridiculous now. 3DS hasn't had a decent week since August.
Re: Microsoft Wants You To Know That Its Surface Tablet Can Play SNES Games
Get back to me when surface can stream 360 games, then we'll talk.
Re: Mario Party: Island Tour Delayed to Early 2014 in Europe
Man i'm so bored of constant delays by Nintendo as of late. I really wish they'd stop delaying titles and just step up their development.
Re: Nintendo Download: 3rd October (Europe)
AAARRRGGHHH WHERE IS PICROSS?????
Re: Nintendo UK Looking To Raise Awareness Of Wii U With Tesco Campaign
Don't waste your time Ninty. Chavs couldn't give a crap about anything Nintendo.
Re: Wii U Family Hardware Bundles Revealed in Japan
@Mahe What, and Wii Fit/Party U are Nintendo's best efforts are they? Get real.
Re: Xander Davis Explains Sources of Inspiration for Project CIDER
I can't believe someone would actually refer to themselves as "Xander." I only ever think of Buffy when i hear it.
Re: Wii U Family Hardware Bundles Revealed in Japan
No... not "Wii" series games!!! Give us G&W or NLand!
