That's my birthday.

Not that it does me any good, considering I'm in Australia and not the UK. Hm.

Not too great, but I enjoyed creating it. I hope it gives you a nice, strange, 'WTF' feeling.

Lovelovelovelovelovelovelovelovelove... love.

Can't wait. The Aussie release is on the same day, fyi. = )

It reminds me of an old NES game I once had. I might look into this one, as I don't think it's likely I'll see the NES game on the Virtual Console anytime soon.

@13: I was going to post the same thing. She almost looks like one of the Coneheads.

I'm one of those suckers who would buy all the DLC just to say I have the complete game, so I reckon I'll hold off from purchasing MLaaDL for now.

@18: Indeed, it will probably be recycled next year. You guys may want to think it over -- Doc Louis will probably never be available again.

Now THAT is awesome. I'd go for the Punch-Out!! mini-game, myself, but the Mario hat sounds pretty cool. Why so stingy though, NoA? Why not give Platinum members BOTH and Gold members one?

I would buy this without hesitation... had I not developed a fear for creepy-crawlies. Ick. Sorry, THQ, but you must have realised that you would sell more copies if the game was full of rainbows and unicorns.

Cool story, but I'd NEVER consider paying that much for any game. = / $100 is too much, imo.

@46: The good news is that the update is optional. I'm so glad I downloaded it last night, just before the change.

Just downloaded me a copy of the game. Icarian > NyxQuest.

Gah, released the original everwhere first plz! _

I get the feeling that the two in the first pic are Tingle's parents or something. Though I recall his Dad hated Tingle's weird fetish... but I s'pose he could have been adopted. Then again, it would be so awesome if it WAS Tingle and the developers had a sick imagination. = B

Ah, come on Nintendo Australia! Announce that it's going to be released alongside Punch-Out!!, already! (I'm sure there's another game released in Europe that still hasn't been mentioned here, but I can't think of what it could be...)

@18: But I thought LaDouche was quite clever! : P You're right, though, complaining about the guy's opinion won't really make us better off than him. It's just rather annoying that people STILL generalise like this.

Bah, he's a tool anyway. If any girl at my school says they <3 Shia LaDouche, I get the f*** out of there.

Pshaw. I didn't want to make a Twitter account... but I s'pose I'll have to now.

Nice, I'll be making sure this is my next download. Cheers for the review!

I actually wouldn't mind a service like this, if the pricing remained the same. I guess it would also depend on the variety of the movies...

@Stuffgamer: The Lost Levels actually didn't need translating -- it was released in English in Japan.

Gosh darn it, Nintendo, release the first game in North America and Australia already!

I never finished March of the Minis, but I can definitely see myself getting this when it's released here.

Very cool. I'll be picking up a points card tonight.

Looking forward to downloading FF, but I might wait until I beat FF4 first.

"Mario, Luigi, and two Toads are all playable characters, while many others from the Mushroom Kingdom make appearances throughout the game."

Shan't get my hopes up, but that last bit excites me a little bit. Daisy plz.

It's a shame they're cutting this feature, but I never used it anyway... so I don't really have the right to complain. Still, I don't see why they've cut it this soon.

I like the sounds of this one. I'll be keeping an eye out for it.

@Kawaii: You mean Michael Atkinson. The jerk.

I kinda hate it when Europe gets a VC/WiiWare game and Australia doesn't. It just doesn't seem right, when we usually get identical releases. Damn Commodore 64 and all that crap... ;_;

Australia misses out on Penguins & Friends, yet it's advertised in the Wii Shop menu. Hm...

;_;

Why couldn't Nintendo localise these games starting with the first one? I don't wanna have to import them.

Indeed. If four fat, old, constipated men won't drive up sales, I don't know what will. = P

Hm... even though I own a 360 myself, I dislike how Rare's bringing all these titles over to it. T'would be awesome if they brought out this and the Banjo games on BOTH the Wii and 360. = / Rare could only benefit from doing such a thing.

I, um... wow. 0_0

Do want.

But you know what I'd want even MORE, Ninty? That's right: the original Gold and Silver available on the DSi Shop. ; ) (That said, if they release these rumoured remakes and then bring out the original ones, I'd get all of the versions... that's the kind of sucker I am for Pokémon.)

@7: Oh, wow, I haven't played Pandemonium in forever! That was a pretty awesome game...

Anyhoo, it looks fairly decent. I might get it if it's released here.

It's kinda sad to see this happen with one of my favourite DS games. = ( I don't have a clue as to why Ninty would want to put these tricks up there, as people are bound to only use them once or twice before realising how lame they are by themselves.

Bring on this new Master of Illusion trick I've been hearing of, Nintendo!

Yeah, you'd probably be better off just getting the full version of Master of Illusion if you can find it. At least that has Corner Kittens and Monte Carlo for you to play when you're bored. Plus you get a free deck of trick cards. Woo?

The only thing that I dislike about this game is the fact that I can only ever play it during daylight -- after I get home from school or work, though, I won't feel like playing it. I won't even bother trying to find the right lighting during the evening hours, as I'll just be spending more time setting up the game than actually playing it.

That said, I had some fun with it. I would give it a higher rating than a 4, but that's considering that I didn't really care that there was only 20 microgames. I <3 WarioWare, and I <3 this. ... 'Cept for the camera. >_>

Hopefully they'll release an update allowing one to flip screens.

I'm mighty tempted to get this, I only just got into the Art Style series and I'm liking it so far...

It's a pretty good day to be a Nintendo nut. <3 you, Ninty!

Sweet. If Aussies get the free points as well, I reckon I'll be getting a DSi after all. = P

Oh. Em. Gee.

I've been waiting for this game for quite a while, it's one of the few Master System games I remember playing. Though, this frustrated the hell out of me. Was still fun, though.

Well, it's about time that another country got proper access to the C64 games.

It's Australia's turn next, right Nintendo? = /

I was never really keen on the Adventure Island series, but the news of this certainly has sparked something. Looking forward to it.

Oh em gee.

I freaking loved playing The Lost Stars when I had a Master System. Hopefully it'll come our way soon.

Yet again, Australia and New Zealand have missed out on a game... we didn't get that Rock 'n' Ball game.

Not that big of a miss, but hopefully someday we'll have caught up to Europe (SPOGs and all).

Sweet, I'll buy some Wii Points next week. Already bought some this week, can't be bothered spending any more money.

Sweet. That's all I can say about it, really... o^_^o

Whee! Enduro Racer! I think that's one of the games I used to own for the Master System, years ago.

It sucks that we didn't get Ghosts 'n Goblins, but at least we got Street Fighter. Hopefully we can catch up properly next time.

Oh, and wooh! Castlevania!
