There are times when I regret not waiting for games to go down in price but I certainly don't regret picking this up at launch for full price. I'm nearing the 1000 hour mark and this game is one of my best gaming experiences. I recognize it's not for everyone but I highly recommend it.
Developers are really lazy these days. I'm sure Activision demanded the Classic controller so it wouldn't have to put any effort into its ports of mediocre games. As for Pachter, he says that the Wii U must launch at $250 or less. Let's think about this for a second. Launching a NEXT generation device at the same price as current generation consoles? When this generation the PS3 and XBOX launched at $500 and $300, respectively? Really? Guy's delusional.
I still think it was a good decision given that the 3DS XL was not meant to replace the original 3DS but just be an option. But like the big purple Pikmin said, fans are never happy...
@Topoloco (Abstraction Games, 500pts) — A game about maps! Except it's not really a game and the maps aren't that good. Read our Topoloco review then navigate your way as far from this game as possible." This made me crack up!
Awesome! I'm jealous you got your hands on it! I have a question, for games like New Super Mario Bros. U do you require a Wiimote or can you play using only the Wii U Gamepad?
I guess it won't be THAT bad. Think of it this way, for PSN and XBOX Live you give people a username to add you. With friend codes, you replace that username with a number! I do hope that number isn't incredibly long, though.
That is what I was expecting. Here in the US, everyone always seems biased against Nintendo for some reason. Almost every website or organization that does these kinds of award things gives the prizes to XBOX or PS3 games. I don't know if that's how things are in the UK but I wouldn't be surprised if they were.
I say $350 TOPS if they plan on selling a good amount of them. I can already see the PS3 and XBOX dropping their prices to $200 by the time the WiiU launches, and if that's the case, the WiiU will not sell with such a high price.
Hi, I have a question. Is the bundle that comes with the golden Wiimote limited edition? In other words, will the Wiimote bundle also be available in a few months?
This looks pretty cool but since most of the time I play my 3DS I'm at home, I don't think I will be needing it. I also have a car charger just in case I want to play while I'm in the car.
Looks like I'm not the only one who did not like Mighty Flip Champs. I got the game the day it came out and beat it that same day. Not only did I feel that the game was extremely short (for 800 points) but I also thought that it got really boring really fast. That's why I don't have high hopes for this one. Hopefully it's good but I seriously doubt I will be getting it.
I know this isn't exactly about the Ambassador program, but with these 20 games do you think we'll have to upgrade to an SD card with more memory? Will all these game fit in a 2 gig SD card (with game data on it)?

Re: Review: Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance (3DS)
I've never been the biggest fan of Kingdom Hearts mainly because the combat boils down to how quickly you can button mash.

Re: Feature: A Visual Guide to Nintendo's Handheld Revamps - Part Two
Man I don't understand why people hated the original DS. I liked it so much that I opted to get ol' chunky instead of its anorexic counterpart.

Re: Review: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (Wii)
Hopefully Toys 'R' Us will have more of the bundles tomorrow... I'll probably also go check my local GameStop just in case they have one.
Re: Review: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (Wii)

They should give this to current 3DS owners for free! It's not fair that we have to pay again.
