So on the first of November, I'll finally start my job and be able to save money towards a Wii U. I just hope that I don't have to wait a long time before more units are available. Anyone know if they'll be available again before Christmas?
"What could possibly be better than Super Mario Galaxy? Its sequel, of course."
I'll have to disagree with you there. Though don't get me wrong, Super Mario Galaxy 2 is a fantastic game and I enjoyed every moment of it, it doesn't hold a candle to the mind-blowing awesomeness that is the first Super Mario Galaxy.
I'm extremely disappointed with Nintendo not releasing GBA games onto the Virtual Console yet. They could make a killing by rereleasing games like the Super Mario Advance series! Kirby's Nightmare in Dreamland, Kirby and the Amazing Mirror. A Link to the Past. Third party games like the heap of Final Fantasies.
I already own and enjoy the DSi Ware version on my 3DS. Widescreen, a few extras, and 3D effect aren't enough incentive to get me to pay two months worth of recycled cans and bottles again. Now, if they were awesome and would let me upgrade to this version at a discount, I would most definitely consider it.
Will they finally start doing GBA games? That would be awesome. They're a little late though. I'm getting a Game Boy Player and will most likely be getting games like that instead.
I really like this idea, to tell you the truth. Gone are the days when I have to wait forever for a sequel (like I did after getting the first NSMB and had to wait years its handheld sequel), and instead I can get my fix with DLC!
If you ask me, this is a very smart move! It will also give these newbies lots of experience for developing future Mario games!
A lot of the comments on the YouTube video are very negative. Hardly anyone seems to understand that New Super Mario Bros. 2 is a complete game and that this isn't something that was held back from the game at all, but was designed after the game's release. It's also entirely optional content that in no way affects the main experience, which is complete. Some people yet are hatefully saying that this game shouldn't have DLC at all. Why? What is so wrong with that? I can't enhance my experience of this game just because you're an arrogant prick and don't want me to? These are the same people who complain about New Super Mario Bros. 2 being "too samey". Well, then why would you want this to be a new game instead of DLC?
Well, gee, Nintendo. If you'd just lower your prices after a while (Mario Kart DS is STILL 35 bucks) and release DS titles on the eShop, along with releasing more handheld games (especially GBA) instead of releasing them at a trickle that is slower than molasses, perhaps you wouldn't have such a big problem?
I don't care if games were even more expensive back in the day, and I don't care if $60 is a great value considering how much is put into making a game. Sixty dollars is still sixty dollars. And that is a LOT of money. Twenty dollars more than I'm comfortable with paying for games.
Indeed, I have lost my faith. I was unfortunate not to be able to get a 3DS until last Christmas, so I missed out on the Ambassador program. It still greatly pisses me off that I can't even purchase the games on the eShop. It's ridiculous! Shouldn't them being free for ambassadors be enough? But no...

Re: Feature: Nintendo Life's Top 20 Wii Games
Oh, and I'm glad to see that Goldeneye made it in there. It's a really fun game and the multiplayer, though not without its problems, is also a blast!

Re: Nintendo Reveals New Wii Bundles For The Holiday Season
I still want to get the red Wii to tell you the truth.
Re: Sonic The Hedgehog 2 Running Onto The Japanese eShop
Come on, SEGA. Get Nintendo to do GBA games so we can see the Sonic Advance series on the 3DS!
Re: No Voice Support For Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed On Wii U
^ It IS on Nintendo.
Re: Review: Kirby Air Ride (GameCube)
Gamecube games are already considered retro?
I feel old now.
Re: Wii U In-Game Voice Chat Won't Use GamePad Microphone
So if I want to use the pro controller AND voice chat, I have to have the Upad right by me too?
Sounds like a cluttery mess.
Re: Nintendo Download: 18th October 2012 (Europe)
The sweat from my hands would probably destroy my 3DS while playing Mega Man. xD
Re: Wii U Pro Controller Lasts 80 Hours On A Single Charge, Not Backwards Compatible
Does this also mean we can't play Virtual Console games with it?
Re: Review: Pokémon Black and White 2 (DS)
I'm burnt out when it comes to Pokémon. Soul Silver was the last hurah for me. Good ol' Johto...
Looking forward to seeing the 3DS versions though. They just might rekindle my interest in the series. Only time will tell.

Man, that would be awesome.
Re: Retro City Rampaging To WiiWare Later This Year
Does this game have anything to do with Back to the Future? I mean, the doc in the DeLorean and all...
Re: Nintendo: Phones And Tablets Aren't Games Devices
@The_Other_M Because the it's the cool thing to do. Google "mob mentality".
Re: Nintendo Download: 4th October 2012 (North America)
Does Chess Academy have a mode where you can play against the computer in a regular game?
Re: New Super Mario Bros. U Trailer Shows Off Co-Op, Controlled by Mario Masters
@MickeyTheGreat I love you.
Also, this trailer is so sexy! I'd totally get it if I could afford a Wii U any time soon.
Re: Watch the European 3DS Nintendo Direct Here
@BenAV Yeah, but still...
Re: Watch the European 3DS Nintendo Direct Here
Sure, let's release Luigi's Mansion 2 AFTER Halloween. >.>
Re: Watch the European 3DS Nintendo Direct Here
Nothing about GBA games. Why am I not surprised?
That's it. I'm getting a Game Boy Player. Screw this.
Re: Japan Is Getting These Awesome Animal Crossing and New Super Mario Bros. 2 3DS Bundles

@FluttershyGuy HELL YEAH!

I've lost faith, to tell you the truth.
Re: Dr. Mario Online Rx Makes Club Nintendo Members Feel Better
This was already a Club Nintendo reward. Are they cycling through the list now?
Re: Wii U eShop "More Open, Social and Indie-Friendly" Than Wii
With the good stuff, you're gonna get shovelware. It's only logical that with more good stuff you get, the more shovelware you get.
We'll call it the Law of Software or something.
Re: First Impressions: Wii U Pro Controller
I'm used to Wavebirds and Classic Controller Pros, so a weak rumble won't be a problem for me at all.

Mexico isn't a part of North America anymore? I never got that memo...
Re: New Super Mario Bros. 2 DLC Grabs North American Coins on 4th October
My body is ready. But my wallet isn't.
Re: Review: Quarth (3DS eShop / Game Boy)
"Glorified Cursor". Can't that be said for any and every shooting game that has the ship/person/object on the bottom of the screen?
Re: We Sing 80s
I love 80's music, but I'm not a fan of Wii shovelware.

Pfft. Fanboys rarely make sense.
Re: Hands on: Wii U Third-Party Round-Up
I really loved Sonic and SEGA All-Stars Racing for the Wii, so I'm sad to hear that Transformed is poorly developed.
Re: 3DS System Update Locks Out a Lot of Flashcards, Permanently
Well, gee, Nintendo. If you'd just lower your prices after a while (Mario Kart DS is STILL 35 bucks) and release DS titles on the eShop, along with releasing more handheld games (especially GBA) instead of releasing them at a trickle that is slower than molasses, perhaps you wouldn't have such a big problem?

Sudoku? With numbers? You don't say...
Re: Angry Birds Trilogy Achievement Requires 300 Hours Of Play
This game would be PERFECT as a downloadable title!
Re: Wii U Pro Controller Feels "Amateurish", Say Kotaku
So it's the exact opposite of the Classic Controller Pro? The buttons on that thing are extremely hard and hurt sometimes.

Who else read the title of this article as "KFC-Ready Games At Wii Launch"?
Yeah, what was your first clue that I'm American? xD
Re: Review: Bookstore Dream (DSiWare)
Awesome! Now I want a hot dog stand game for the 3DS. xD
Re: Talking Point: Are Wii U Games Going To Be Too Expensive?

Re: Cave Story eShop Release Date Confirmed
It would be cool if owners of the DSiware version could upgrade to this for 3.99 or something instead of having to pay in full.
Re: Round Up: Wii U Launch Window Games
I'm super excited for 007 Legends!
Re: New Super NES Game Project Launches
I would ask for the ability to play it on an emulator or to have it released on the Wii's shop, since I don't own an SNES.

Re: Talking Point: The Importance of the Wii U Press Event
The ball is now in Nintendo's court. Will the Wii U go the way of the SEGA Dreamcast? Hopefully their gambit will pay off, but we'll see...
