I live in Toronto and my street is guarded by He-man. Only a few are nintendo related, but there's tons of these across the city. Most people I've talked to don't really care since neighborhood watch is kind of a thing of the past anyways. My favourite is Robocop protecting the Dufferin Grove Park!
I'm shocked this is going to be retail! I can't imagine what content they will supply to justify a $50-$60 purchase in all honesty. I really loved the footage they showed but I expected $19.99 tops.
@CaptainProtonX Super Dodge Ball is a perfect example of how being a Nintendo fan can suck. This is a perfect game for playing on the 3ds but I'd also see myself playing this on my WiiU. Sadly that convenience shall never be with Nintendo unless I want to pay twice. It's a shame.
@CaptainProtonX It's not just Sony though, Apple has this same service and I'm sure if Xbox had a portable device they'd offer the same service. I totally agree with XyVoX, the eshop is lovely but so behind in customer service and software protection. Which is weird since they push digital downloading like it's candy.
I just saw this listed on Amazon as a retail game??? I really loved the trailer and think it'll be an awesome game...for like $15. I cannot see the justification for this being $54.99.
I'm sure he's not present due to the fact that his speeches are painfully slow. Not his fault and of course I do sincerely hope that he is alright if in fact illness is the reason. but given the lameduck reactions his presentations receive, leaving the show up to Reggie is a great move
I'll buy this the second they fix the freezing issue. I've had my Wii U since day one have had to cut the power about 6 times. I really can never have that happen again as it breaks my heart
@Luigifan141 That's kinda harsh don't you think? I mean Rayman Legends was epic, Child of Light is the very definition of beautiful and personally I loved Assassin's Creed 3 and 4.
@Iggly I've been looking everywhere for wii points cards with no luck as well. ANYONE OUT THERE KNOW WHERE A FELLA CAN BUY A WII POINTS CARD IN CANADA? I've got a hankering for Faxanadu!
Sold, I'll get it tonight despite the fact that I haven't even started Child of Light yet since I'm still playing AC4 but am taking a break from that to go back to Mario 3D world to collect more green stars....
I actually preferred the SNES version as a kid. Sure the colour of the blood had changed and the finishing moves were altered but the graphics, sound and control were far better as far as my memory serves.
I've been waiting a long time for this one, probably the last game we'll get from UbiArt so take advantage people! Plus it's the same price as a decent lunch so...
Nintendo loves how out of touch they are and it's driving me mad. I love my Wii U but this will be the last console I buy from Nintendo as they clearly lied to all of us and their lack of effort solidifies that we the customers are not important.
I actually got a message from club nintendo yesterday confirming an order that I never made. Maybe that error was linked to this update. Anyone else get a message yesterday?
Gonna hold off on SMB3 since it will probably be a club nintendo release in a few months. RE Assassin's Creed price drops, I would love to buy the DLC for AC3, but am wondering why the DLC price hasn't dropped down but the game itself has? I can buy the game for $29.99 but the DLC packs are $10 each still??? I heard only the last pack was really great so I don't want to pay $3o for all that.
I owned a Turbo Duo back in the day and was a huge fan of the system. Both games are truly excellent but I personally liked Gate of Thunder a bit better. I've been trying to get my hands on wii points cards (which is hard to accomplish these days!) to grab all the old Turbo Graphix/Duo games I can while they last. I would also recommend Devil's Crush if you like pinball games! Man I could nerd out all day long for my old Duo, I really miss that machine.
The SNES version is just plain sad when compared to the PC Engine version. Anyone interested in this game should avoid the SNES version and go to the Wii Virtual console and grab the proper game. And while you're there, grab Gate of Thunder as well!
@ikki5 Yeah I just feel like the price is crazy high. I mean it's on par with SNES games? As good as Metroid fusion is, you can't compare it to Super Metroid as one example. The overpricing of Virtual Console games added to the very slim selection of choices are clear examples of why it's failing.
I was a nintendo kid growing up but switched to sege when the Saturn came out and never regretted it once. Sure it didn't have some of the classic N64 games, but Burning Rangers and Shining Force 3 were enough to keep me coming back time and time again to this day. I still have mine and will never part from it

Re: Review: How to Survive (Wii U eShop)
I'm on the fence about this one. If it drops in price I'll get it for sure. It's only $3.74 on steam so me playing full price seems off.

Re: E3 2014: Nintendo Hopes to Share Metroid News in the "Near Future"
I suck at first person games so I haven't really loved a Metroid game since Super Metroid. So my vote is obviously 2D, actually 2.5D would be ideal
Re: Nintendo Download: 12th June (North America)
Not releasing Super Soccer for the SNES is a major fail in my opinion.
Re: E3 2014: Splatoon Will Offer Team-Based Ink-Splatting Action For Wii U In 2015
If it's a modestly priced Eshop game, you may have a hit. If this is retail, you've shot your foot off with a spatter gun Nintendo
