Mk_II

I'd love to see a Rogue Squadron HD for Wii U

I moved away from my busy life in order to play more games.

Now this is (one of many reasons) why i love Nintendo. All hail the Virtual Boy!

@mystman12 250 stars for a 3DS game, 500 stars for a full-price Wii U game

never mind... i've only got 1150 stars

I'm pretty sure Nintendo is ALWAYS working on the next Mario game, just like their R&D department is always working on the next console/handheld. That's how a business works.

Since my Wii U is still out of action, i'll be playing Zen Pinball and Steel Diver Sub Wars

that looks like the dog ate it... not for me thank you!

I have seen the review version being played in split-screen mode and it is without a doubt the best looking Wii U game so far and gives both the XB1 and PS4 a run for their money. Silky smooth, incredibly detailed and fast... we're gonna love it.

@Anguspuss the Seal of Quality program has been stopped a long long time ago. Nintendo was forced to end it by the courts because third-parties claimed it was used to stiffle competition.

I visited Nintendo Benelux yesterday and they were demoing MK8 to some press guys. It really looks absolutely amazing and very smooth.

Note how "going mobile" has not solved Capcom problems but made them worse. Nintendo is very wise not to enter that market

that's quite a simple yet attractive design. Too bad i'll never own one.

After all is said and done, Nintendo once again proves that it is all about the games. Games make the platform, not the other way around.

One of the nicer Megadrive shooters but it looks better than it actually plays.

me wants

One has to question this weird habit of releasing all these at best mediocre 8 bit games when there are so many gems in the Nintendo back catalog.

Friend of mine got the original "stand up" arcade game. Really awesome game to play, even after all those years

Correct me if i'm wrong but isn't the current install base for the XBox One roughly similar to the Wii U numbers?

Anyone willing to donate one of those posters to a poor unemployed European?

No.

Reverse-engineering and faithfully replicating the rather peculiar hardware of the N64 would be quite a feat.

This is the arcade game that really sucked the coins out of my pockets. Happy memories

It must have taken an awful lot of time & trouble to find these hacks. Round of applause for whoever managed to find them.

yep, it really works. i still get some errors but very few and far between. the winning streak retention feature is really nice

A three second time interval has been set for Morse-code signals

No more E E E E E E!!!!

I also really like the shortened waiting time.. all in all a great and welcome update

@Dauntless European Club Nintendo has no platinum or gold rewards. this is the frst time these cards are available here in Euroland.

A big thanks to Mark for the tip.

my pleasure

Five stars? Ouch...

ive said it before: all the home consoles will face exactly the same challenges. Two out of the three major regions are still in recession. And the differences between this and the last gen aren't convincing enough people to upgrade now at considerable cost.

looks better than the usual euh... stuff you get

As long as it involves wearing a clunky headset or helmet i think it won't be a success.

The whole ratings business is a scam.

Loved the original on Megadrive but i wonder if it aged well.

I'm afraid that picture of Shaq in his green romper has scarred me for life.

"Nintendo has been in the game long enough to know what does and doesn't work.".Hear hear! And Sub Wars is an excellent example. I haven't splashed out on the full version (yet?) but the game is just as enjoyable for freemium players. And because there is no entry fee, the servers are crowded and there is always a batlle waiting for you.

Life imitating art

The Zelda Monopoly will be mine

Back in the day, my ex-GF introduced me to Nintendo gaming by way of Super Mario Wprld but most of all Donkey Kong Country. She was way better than me and couldn't stand it when it kept making the same stupid mistakes... LOL. Those were the days!

@luke88 they say the motherboard and/or GPU are fried because the air vents got clogged up with dust. And according to them that's a user error and not covered by warranty, I wrote them a letter explaining the situation but they haven't even answered.

Once Nintendo starts to take advice from hedge fund managers they are truly doomed. Thankfully that will never happen.

Way too early in my opinion. Running a couple of servers really isn't that expensive. And because Nintendo refuses to repair my Wii U i'm not too happy that they are now cutting off my old Wii from the internets. Bad move Nintendo!

i want more Nintendo soundtracks on CD, not downloads (unless they are free of course)

Gashole!

how... inviting?

@1337man1233 well i think that's a given IF the DLC proves to be selling well. Then we'll very likely see scenario packs, more historical submarines etc. I must say i am sorely tempted to get the full price version. The multi-player matches are lots of fun even though i usually quickly sink without a trace

Got my code in this morning's email. I fondly remember playing this on my girlfriends old Gameboy.. those were the days.

What, no Animal Crossing?

Nintendo of Europe has always depended on local subsidiaries / partners to handle distribution & marketing. These relationships often go back a good number of years but i think they are currently reviewing all their local operations. People have gotten a bit complacent perhaps and it won't hurt to shake things up a little.

@Yamitora1 the 2DS has not been released in Japan.

I think the USK is also responsible for those big ugly rating symbols on the front of our lovely boxes., often completely ruining a beautiful design. So unnessesary but they just force it on there. And other EU countries get the same packaging.
