the biggest problem with this game is the extremely long loading times. I bought it and when the player dies, it literally takes 80 or so seconds for the world to regenerate. I hope they will fix it in the near future.
@technotaylor98 I wouldn't be surprised if it comes on 21st or 28th of may to the US It seems there is a pattern of DK old games coming over 4 months later, same exact thing happened for SMB3 as well
Why do we always have to wait at least 4 months before Donkey Knog games come out? I'm still waiting for DKC Returns Wii version that launched in Europe in January. In this case I hope it is no more than a 4 month wait. Which means my wait is almost over.
@PaperMario64 Super Mario 64 and Yoshi’s Island DS will launch today at $9.99 USD. Nintendo revealed its N64 and DS Virtual Console release schedule for the next few weeks. Check it out below. April 1 Super Mario 64 (N64) Yoshi’s Island DS (DS) April 9 Yoshi’s Touch & Go (DS) WarioWare Touched (DS) April 16 Donkey Kong 64 (N64) April 23 Mario Kart DS (DS) April 30 Paper Mario (N64)
@BinaryFragger I will buy them on the Wii U, and when they come out on the 3DS, I will buy them on all 4 of my 3ds XL systems. Just as I did with NES titles on my Wii, Wii U, and 4 3DS XLs, the latest being Lost Levels. Every single survey for VC games, i write that it sucks cause its still missing Mario 3.
Right now I got a Wii, Wii U, 2 3DS XLs, and gonna buy a 3rd one, on March 14th. So, Nintendo better realize that they got some loyal fans that do spend money.
I just hope that before they get out of the video game business, they will launch something like Nintendo Fusion, integrate the console and handheld into one, and launch all the previous gen titles through eShop. That way I am able to have ALL Nintendo games that I love on one system, and be compatible with something like a GamePad. And re-release all the Mario. Zelda, DK titles in HD. Then I will be happy. But, you know how they say: Dream on, baby.
I went to the one in Concord, NC (Charlotte area) with my kids. My 4 year old is a big Luigi fan, but he was afraid to take pictures with Luigi because he thought that Luigi was real. When NoA found out from me that my kids are both getting 3DS Mario Luigi Dream team bundles, they gave me a free Prima Guide book for that game . That was a nice gesture on their part.
Here, in the USA, it seems that everyone wants to get an XBO. I think its the whole "buy american" thing, even if it means disregarding consoles that are way better (Wii U). Even Sony gives more for the money.
@kinkofer I started with SMB1 on NES. My mom bought the system for $40 at a garage sale, along with a black and white tv in 1994. That was what hooked me on video games - mario. My cousins has SuperNES with SMW game, and that became the all-time favorite game for me. I even dreamed that I had that game, and I never did until I bought the Wii last year. So far the only game that might get close, or might even surpass the Super Mario World, is Super Mario 3D World. on the Wii, I ENJOY PLAying Newer Super Mario Bros Wii. www.newerteam.com
When I buy a Wii U, I am planning to buy Mario U, Luigi U, Super Mario 3D World, Mario Kart 8, and all of the mario virtual console (so I can play them off-tv on the gamepad only), and then some other titles. Im just loving how the Wii U looks with HD.
I have a Wii, and I bought it last year in August in Walmart when I saw it bundled with mario wii. I wasn't planning on buying it, but the mario game brought nostalgia. 80% of my games right now are all the virtual console mario games that Nintendo has to offer. As far as Wii U goes, I am still holding off buying one until either they launch a bundle like they got in Europe that includes Mario and Luigi U, or sometimes next year. One criteria - dropping the price $50 was met, now to save even more money, all I need is a Mario title bundled with it. Mario Kart 8 will do, but mario U and Luigi U seem like a better deal. Those 2 games total about $80, and once I get the Wii U, I'm planning to buy them anyways.

I could never get Typoman to work.
My Wii U would crash, and I would have to unplug power to make it reboot.
Re: Editorial: Cheer Up, There Are Some Exciting Games on the Way
no ,the lineup is pretty thick.
Xenoblade Chronicles X

Super Mario Maker

Re: Cube Life: Island Survival Confirmed for 25th June Release in Europe
@Cypronia
Awesome game!
Are the loading times going to improve, or is it because it's running through my expandable storage?

the biggest problem with this game is the extremely long loading times.
