@Nico87 Yeah, that's another reason. Japanese gamers are smart, they care about gameplay and fun, not 4K and who gets the most frames-pre-second.

@BionicDodo Japanese people prefer handhelds and more compact consoles. I guess that's one of the reasons for weak PS4 Pro-sales.

This is a must buy. I have no problems if it remains PC-only. FPS-games are horrible on traditional controllers anyway plus the console-version would probably not be as good-looking and run steady 60fps or more. #PCMasterRace

Great. Falcom is one of my favourite developers. They know how to make fun gameplay and catchy soundtracks. I hope we see the Ys-series on Nintendo consoles too in the future.

Gurumin is actually quite unusual Falcom-game, since the company usually makes action-rpgs or traditional rpgs.

Servers are down .

Skyward Sword would have been better without motion controls. The constant need for recalibration was frustrating. One of the few Zelda-games I just couldn't finish. Wii remote was very good in some games, mostly shooters but in others it was just an annoying gimmick.

I'm not buying any of this overpriced digital stuff. The games should be 30 euros max, no more and there should be good sales like on PC. Not the usual 20% off crap. All console-makers are very greedy and want insane prices for their digital content. No thanks. Keep your games and DLCs/season passes. I'm done with Nintendo and consoles in general after this generation ends if this same thing continues.

I would make one but it's not available in Finland yet.

Not buying these same games again and again. Nintendo should at least give a big discount if you own these on Wii/Wii U and not charge full-price. Cross-buy would be even better.

Cool album but where's Super Mario or Zelda? Or maybe those are so over-remixed that the makers didn't want to include them...

Doesn't work in Finland, unfortunately:

"This Nintendo Network ID cannot currently
be used due to its country setting."

What if I use my Google Plus account? Is it possible to link NNID afterwards?

Wii Music was a fun "game". I made many arrangements of "Troika" with it (Russian melodies are the best:)). Wii Music was more like a toy for people already familiar with music and not a Guitar Hero-style party game like it was advertised. That's probably why so many were disappointed and it got bad reviews. I hope for a sequel one day...

I would have got the PC version anyway. Technically it will be the best. Wii U is too underpowered for these type of games, I think.

Yes, Out-Run is finally here! I will get that and maybe 3D Streets of rage and Shinobi.

Tried to get into this series with the Wii U title but it's not for me, sorry. I just don't have the patience for these type of games.

Tengami for me.

I hope Toon Link and Mega Man won't get rare here in Finland, so I can just go and pick them up from my local store. I would buy more of these if the prices weren't so ridiculous. 17 € is just too much for a tiny plastic figure and some places ask more than 20 €. Should be 10 € or less...

Wii U + PC for me. It's the best option in my opinion. Most of the games on PS4/XBone will come to PC at some point anyway. No reason to buy the other consoles for just a few exclusives.

Trine 2 is always on sale. Hah. They should just lower the price permanently...

Very good week for me. I will get Wii Sports Tennis, Toki Tori, Pikmin 3 DLC and Korg M01D.

@JoostinOnline That's not official app. I have it too on my phone. It's made by some fan and isn't really a full-blown app, since it just displays the browser version.

Nice. I can now update my Wii copy of Zelda for the U version. That's all I'm downloading this week - probably will buy Rayman for Vita instead or PC.

This game is a joke. Just stop with the kickstarters and fund it yourself, Dyack.

Good thing there's a promo for the Street Fighters. But I don't know if I really need three of them...what is the best version?

50€ for Pikmin? Hah, I paid only 36€ for my copy . Kirby is tempting but is there some kind of promotion for that if you already own the previous VC games?

Noticed this too when I was trying to access the Wii U eShop today. Only got error codes.

Nintendo has a long history of making profitable consoles even when they're not selling as well as the competition. Wii U may be "doomed" at the moment but I'm sure it'll be just as profitable as other Nintendo systems in the past.

Very good news.

Good article. I haven't done much online play in AC yet. I did met some Japanese people on the island but couldn't communicate with them well. I like to take lots of photos and post some of them to twitter - it's a really good feature that I hope will be in all Nintendo-games from now on.

This is how all game development should be. Games are supposed to be fun to play. That's their main purpose and that's where the "art" of gaming lies. Too much emphasis is put on cinematic story-telling, marketing budgets and graphics nowadays, when all that matters is the gameplay and how fun that is. Thank god for Nintendo and indies, who make GAMES and not interactive, boring films.

They should first get the eShop to actually, you know, work most of the time. Very often I get errors and yesterday I had to reset my Wii U because it got stuck in the eShop loading screen. Those download speeds are also laughably bad and it's one of the reasons why I don't buy any big, retail games from there.

Miiverse also works very well on the PSVita browser. 3DS just gives you an error message. Haha.

I would be really surprised if it comes to Wii U.

Nice, it has a bump-system like the older Ys-games. Really oldschool .

That price is fair considering that this is a fully featured workstation based on the legendary M1-synth. This is not anything like Rytmik, which is very basic for serious music-making. Saving the MIDI-files on a SD-card means that it's also possible to continue working with the files on your computer software. Great. Definitely getting this as soon as it's released over here.

No internet, no SD card, no GC-support and no component out. There's no reason for this thing to exist especially with that price. In Finland Wii mini costs 119 euros. Way overpriced.

Probably Dragon Quest IX. I'm trying to finish it, so I can start part IV.

They could at least change the music. That would be enough innovation after all these years...

Already bought Balloon fight and will get the others too. Super Metroid and F-Zero for only 30 cents? Crazy. But why exactly are they offering SNES games too - I thought this campaign was about Famicom's 30th anniversary?

The demo had a horrible framerate plus there's no support for the gamepad-screen. Really lazy work from the developers. I'll just get the Steam-version instead when it goes on sale, if it's any better.

Fruits and a carrot obviously means that there's going to be a new Yoshi game where Yoshi also eats... a carrot that turns him/her/it into a rabbit (!). It will have a cameo by non-specific action figure and it's going to be released next Christmas.

I have no problems with the limits, since I never play any demo nearly that much.

Fun game for a while but you need other people to get the most out of it. I would probably give this a 7/10, since the single player hasn't kept me interested for long. Wouldn't pay 60 euros for Nintendo Land, good thing I got it with the premium pack. Soundtrack is very good, though - nice remixes of older classic songs.

Not enough interesting games, high price and bad marketing. No wonder it doesn't do so well.

Nothing for me this week, it seems....

Singleplayer-mode is too short and basic, so I won't be buying this. That pricetag is just too much for what you get. Maybe when/if it goes on sale...

Laughable prices but this is Nintendo, so nothing new here. Downloadable games should be 35 euros top. I won't be needing any extra HDD - I just buy my games in physical form and only download smaller titles, like Nano Assault.

No online or GC-support? So kinda pointless release then. But I bet that this will become a very expensive collector's item in the coming years, so anyone serious about collecting should get it while it's cheap.

Thanks Nintendo. Cool to have some free surprises once in a while .

Never played the original but I might get this sometime from the eShop. Looks pretty good.
