@Mr_Trill5306 and @WhiteMage75, Netflix was only available in the US originally, then Canada in 2010, and last year they started service to South America, today is the first day the service has been available outside the Americas
I'm from the US and have been using this for a while, it's GREAT that this service has finally reached the UK and Ireland, hope it reaches the rest of Europe soon, enjoy guys!
if Nintendo has finished the emulator for the ambassador games so they're not bare bones anymore, why the heck won't they update them here as well? in fact, why not update ALL the ambassador games even if they haven't retail released them yet? it makes no sense and really isn't fair to the ambassadors
I know right? makes perfect sense to me, maybe we'll get lucky and Sakurai will read this and include the idea, at least on the 3DS version (would make more sense on there than on the Wii U, and there's no guarantee that there'll be the same stages, assist trophies, items, or even characters on the different platforms), I'm HOPING that there'll be mostly the same content, but I'm betting at least one or two things will be different to encourage people to buy both
would... this mean that the 3DS would have full access to the Wii VC library? I doubt it does... but that'd be awesome, also, having an e-reader on the Wii U controller would be awesome, however, I think the biggest thing I'd request from Big N with the Wii U would be the ability to switch which screen has the VC game, and which screen has the strategy guide, I play a lot of games on my bed, and it'd be easier on my neck if I could just turn my head and glance at the TV once in a while rather than stare at the TV the whole time (actually that might explain my current neck pain problem)
like @Late said, I voted for all of these except for the 3DS winner if I remember correctly, I voted for MK7, but SM3DL is well deserving of the title too
I didn't directly get anything gaming related sadly, however I did get 20 bucks from my gma that I used to buy Arkham Asylum and Portal 2 while they're on sale on Steam
never, gets, old... /me is rolling around and laughing, I especially liked that idiot who essentially said 'you suck, unban me', and threatens to 'report you' for 'false punishment'... um... he said right there he had multiple accounts, Terms of Service violation right there, plus, who's he gonna report you guys to? lol tis the internet...
@Shinji, yes, but only if you look up the code to get to the end, you'd literally have to cheat to do that. That being said, I love Myst, and if it's a good port, I'll get this, honestly, I want to see Riven (second game in the franchise) ported, excellent game and a MUCH bigger scope that Myst, and a lot longer
this review score was fair, while this is indeed the best handheld Zelda game, it's not perfect, and nine isn't a bad score, also remember people, the scores are SUBJECTIVE to the opinion of the author. I don't agree with James giving Skyward Sword a 10/10 (it's one of my favourite Zelda games, don't get me wrong, but it's not perfect, I personally give it a 9/10), but I respect his opinion, and won't complain about it.
Back to my main point, Minish Cap is one of my favourite Zelda games, love it to death, so happy Nintendo let me have it for free
@Chicken_Brutus I've noticed a similar quality control problem myself, on a MASSIVE scale, I can't turn on my TV without seeing an add for a toy tie-in game for the Wii or DSi that's undeniably going to turn out to be shovelware, if Nintendo even HAS quality control, it needs to step up its game on a MAJOR level
"Before the introduction of flat-panel LCD televisions, cathode ray tube goggle-boxes were dominant, and due to the way these sets produced an image, you’d get vertical lines on the screen."

I'm a righty, and while I'm glad that they added the option for lefties, I still think dual analogue control would be best

so... Eiji Aonuma states what we all knew they were working on? they're always working on a new Zelda, it's Nintendo's best franchise
Re: Nintendo Download: 12th January 2012 (Europe)

Re: Japanese Virtual Console List - January 2012
@Grumblebuzz, yet they still release games in Japan, and not here?
Re: Rumour: Wii U and 3DS to Get E-Reader Capabilities
@tvnewsguy, it wouldn't be a printed card based reader, that was the GBA e-reader people keep referring to

Re: Add Nikki to Your Mii Collection
lol Heavy_Barrel, she should at LEAST be an assist trophy, maybe like Mr. Resetti? cover the screen with Swapnote stuff to make it hard to see
Re: Add Nikki to Your Mii Collection
thanks James
Re: Add Nikki to Your Mii Collection
Thomas, you say that's a Japanese Mii code? will that work with NA/EU 3DS systems?

unlike #1, I say in all seriousness: Angry Birds, it's a cash cow, and would help get sales rolling for such an online store

that's the whole issue though, OoT is NOT the imprisoning war, it was originally SUPPOSED to be, but they retconned it with FSA. I still call bull

Re: Review: The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap ( / Game Boy Advance)

Re: Review: Cake Ninja (DSiWare)
the way you talk about it Thomas, I'm surprised you even gave it a two, have you guys ever given a score lower than this?
EDIT: Indeed you have... I figured out how to search by score, wow there's some shovelware out there, hahaha
