btw, I think they kept the puzzles at 15x15 because people were too dumb to figure out how to smoothly control the 25x20's in the ds version. use the control pad people. if you tap to choose the paintbrush and tap a block it'll scroll on it's on and that's bad. hold up and touch to paint, hold down and touch to erase, let go to scroll. easy
people that wonder why extra things aren't included in the first place are kind of dumb. do they WANT games to take longer to come out, and do they NOT want new levels to play? derp anyway the Luigi U "dlc" is definitely worth every penny
@DarkEdi the sentence can also be written: "The title Princess was named for F.Scott Fitzgerald's wife in this game, which launched a best-selling franchise" "in -this- game"
@anthony12 are you kidding? it's real-time Pokemon battling! the Wii one was good, the 3DS one was way-fantastic (I pumped about 200 hours in it), I can only imagine how much they added to the Wii U one. day one buy for me for sure, and just in time for my birthday
@SteveW ...games without rumble? why would anyone do that? loud sounds create bass effects in your speakers and your ears FEEL that, so why can't they add the same factor of immersion for game events that shake? personally I love the added weight the rumble pack adds, and then I go to play with it off and I'm like "omg it's too light"
"and permits SpotPass to function even while the system is on standby." ...this wasn't a feature already? the Wii did that, Wiiconnect24 and the awesome blue light and all that
I wouldn't worry about it. they don't make NES SNES or N64 games anymore, but we can still play them with emulators or VC (when available) i'd say like 12 years from now they'll be an emulator for eShop stuff give or take, it's how the future works
I want to be one of those people! I want all of them! Come to USA, hey Nintendolife staff, can you get a petition going that everyone can send to them to get this stuff over here? Pleeeeease?
"Just look at Pandora’s Tower, Xenoblade Chronicles and The Last Story. All risky RPGs with lots of text to translate, but they were localised all the same." hahaha yeah, after everyone and their dog created an uproar and begged
also, I would have NEVER been able to play Daigasso Band Brothers DX if DS games had been region locked, and you might say "but wait, wasn't there a version released in Europe? Jam with the Band? (I'm in the USA btw, it still hasn't gotten here I don't think)", well, the song selection is totally different, I would never have had access to all the Jpop and anime songs I love so much, and I don't need to know japanese to play a music game or a platformer
I love PXZ so much! I got it and have been playing it nonstop (i'm about 19 hours into it so far). I never really got into fire emblem, but the interactive battles make it feel like a mix of the "Tales of" series and a fire emblem that I can actually enjoy. it's so good ^.^
i'm sure this has been said repeatedly already, but Nintendo isn't showing restraint here by not using microtransactions, other companies are just silly moochers
ha, HA, HAHAHA omg i am SO going to rub this in my old roomate's face! he was like "oh i'll wait to get black and white until they make gray" I can't wait to tell him this. It sucks, but at least stuff will carry over to the new one. I just wanna keep my pokeDolls and berries
gah, idiot game devs. Why make something super high tech and HD and all the crap that doesn't make a good game, when you can make it just a BIT more toned down and release it on everything with butter-smooth framerate. morons
omg tank game! i'm assuming it means move like a tank the right stick rotates the tank (clockwise right, counterclockwise left) and the left stick moves the tank forward and backward? I hate when people get mad at tank controls. just because up down left right doesn't make something move up down left right on the screen doesn't mean it's wrong.

@CrissCross87 when I was at college it was literally impossible to connect to people online. I think they had peer to peer connections blocked which makes online work, so check what your connected to, and if you own it, fix it
ok, WHY do people keep asking for miiverse on the 3ds? it's going to be super slow, and the 3ds doesn't even have a Nintendo ID protected system, so how is that even going to work. I was baffled enough Nintendo announced it was even coming to the 3ds, i didn't realize it was that powerful that it could suspend a game and go into a full-fledged app of its own. I guess we'll see. also, Nintendo I want to give you my money for streetpass things but I can't
bah! yoshi's island always gets bashed for it's art style. I love it and I'll always love it. also, it's clearly not done yet, so they probably still need to iron out the 3d effects in a bunch of places I'll be getting this day one regardless of anything
"he would just have regular old punches and kicks, like how he largely does in the Marvel vs. Capcom series." lol he called Marvel vs. Capcom boring :3
hey I liked unleashed's night stages, because I love hack and slash platforming. just because they technically don't count as "sonic-like-things" doesn't mean they can't be fun on their own merit but yeah sonic unleashed is like the mario party 9 of sonic to me. fun, good spinoff, but don't do it again
from some random site: "...So what about North America? The official word from Nintendo is that they’re “looking into” the new StreetPass Mii Plaza content for the states. Not exactly any kind of definitive answer, but you’d have to think that it will head over eventually."
