I'll just get the deluxe/premium-bundle for now. Nintendo Land should keep me occupied for a while. But very good line-up - I would say it's better than what 3DS and even Wii had, although many of those multiplatform-games apparently have framerate-problems.
Nothing for me this week it seems. Pilotwings and all the other retail downloads are way overpriced. It's a good idea to offer these bigger games on the eShop but until the prices are reduced significantly, I don't really see a point in buying any of them. I can get the boxed versions for much less.
I might get Animal Crossing in digital form, though, because it suits that game very well. But otherwise I just keep buying the cartridges.
I'll get the digital version when it's released. Physical copies are nice but there's no reason for me to pay that much for something that will just end up gathering dust on the shelf.
Backwards compatibility is a big bonus for me. I have tons of Wii games that I haven't completed, so I can play them on Wii U when there's no interesting new games released. I also don't have to keep my Wii on the desk anymore, so that saves some space.
Haha, no thanks. I just trade-in a couple of games and get the boxed copy for much cheaper. Thanks to Steam I don't buy any downloadable games unless they're 10 euros or less.
Wii Music is actually a pretty good "game". I bought it at launch and spent many hours making my own arrangements of the different tunes. Very underrated title but it's probably because you kinda have to know something about music to fully enjoy it - it's not a rhythm game or a game at all really. They should make a sequel for Wii U that uses the motionplus, would be even better then.
I got GameCube (the black one) at launch along with Luigi's Mansion. Nice game but just too short - thankfully the sequel should have more content . There was some really amazing games released for that little box, like Wind Waker (probably my favourite Zelda-game), Resident Evil 4 and TimeSplitters 2 (which I played A LOT).
The controls are fine. Kid Icarus couldn't really work that well with analog aiming anyway because it's so hectic. I had problems when I first started to play but adjusting the reticle speed really helped a lot. ALWAYS CHECK THE OPTIONS before starting to play your games, people . I do sometimes get some hand pain but it's quite common with 3DS anyway since the system itself is so uncomfortable to hold. I think that those complaining about the stylus controls are probably same folk who don't understand motion controls and play FPS games with dual analog....
I'm getting Colors! 3D this week then. Not going to buy the video since I already saw it once for free. I would pay for Shaun the Sheep episodes though, if I could then keep them on my 3DS. Sucks that you can't watch the older episodes again....
@FonistofCruxis Yeah, it's a 7 from me too. LoZ is just too confusing and simple compared to the later games. It's fun for a while but I lost my interest even before completing a single dungeon.
@Mahe Yeah, 3DS is a very poorly designed console. Even the 3d effect is pretty useless because you can't keep the screen steady while playing games. There must be a revision coming at some point to fix at least some of those hardware problems. But the software is of course very good, otherwise I wouldn't use my 3DS much .
Good to know but I can't get these because I'm a Finn. Are they going to sell these in game stores too, or what? Not sure if I would buy any of them though, especially if they're more than 5 euros a pack....
I picked this up today. I love the cheesy dialogue and the music is really epic (no wonder since Yuzo Koshiro, Yasunori Mitsuda etc. composed the soundtrack). Controls aren't the best but they're very customizable which I like. Haven't tried the stand yet but I can't see myself playing this game for long periods without it.
I downloaded this game today and really like it so far - very fun and reminds me of Zelda a bit. The controls aren't perfect but otherwise I have no big problems with this. I would give Dillon an 8 or 9/10.
Have to add these later . I actually have plenty of different communities from different sites but there's no players so I just end up racing in worldwide. Hopefully these will be more alive...

Re: Nintendo Provides Final Wii U Launch Line-Up for Europe
I'll just get the deluxe/premium-bundle for now. Nintendo Land should keep me occupied for a while. But very good line-up - I would say it's better than what 3DS and even Wii had, although many of those multiplatform-games apparently have framerate-problems.

Re: Talking Point: Wii U and the Importance of Backward Compatibility
Backwards compatibility is a big bonus for me. I have tons of Wii games that I haven't completed, so I can play them on Wii U when there's no interesting new games released. I also don't have to keep my Wii on the desk anymore, so that saves some space.
Re: Nintendo Download: 6th September 2012 (Europe)
I'll probably download Picross. Never played any game in the series before.
Re: Watch: Japanese Nintendo Direct Live
My body is ready and full of coffee and cookies. Hopefully we get some new info on Animal Crossing .

Re: Goemon And Ebisumaru Heading To 3DS eShop In Mystical Ninja
Definitely buying this one. Goemon is one of my favourite game-series, I love the humour and catchy soundtracks.
Re: Wii U Box Art Breaks Cover
It should be blue and white, that yellow is a bit distracting. But I like how that logo is in the middle.

Re: Now You Can 'Like' Wii U on Facebook
Won't be liking this since I don't have a FB-account but I'll definitely follow the conference live on their website.
Re: Nintendo Download: 17th May 2012 (Europe)
I'll definitely try the Rayman demo and might buy Bird Mania, since it's so cheap.

Re: Nintendo Life Now Has a Google+ Page
Cool. Added to my "interesting"-circles . I like Google+ much more than Facebook (which I don't use anymore).
Re: Review: Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins (3DS Virtual Console / Game Boy)
Just bought this yesterday. Awesome Mario-game but the slowdown is pretty bad sometimes.
Re: Join Our Mario Kart 7 Communities for Festive Fun!
Have to add these later . I actually have plenty of different communities from different sites but there's no players so I just end up racing in worldwide. Hopefully these will be more alive...
Re: Review: F-Zero Maximum Velocity (3DS Virtual Console / Game Boy Advance)
This was my first GBA-game back in 2001.Very fun game and a cool soundtrack too. Too bad I can't get this ambassador version...
