@BulkSlash Do you have three hands? Because otherwise this wouldn't work.

@zool What a ridiculous statement.

@LinkSword No, I'm from Germany (and only have a PAL system). But if you are right I was misremembering or thought of another game, I guess. :/

@JubilifeRival Are you implying Europe isn't "the West"?

@Fuz I'm sure it will go on sale again. Maybe it will take a little time, though. Good sales have been less and less frequent on Nintendo systems, I think and the games that go on sale are largely the same in Europe for quite some time.

@Fuz It was quite often on sale, actually.

It's basically free marketing. I really don't see why celebrities would want money for it. On the other hand, I really don't miss them either, so...

@Kolzig If you don't mind importing:

You'd have to live with the giant ass USK logo, though.

Are these event courses (and their costumes) only available for a limited time? Don't have time to play this for the next weeks unfortunately.

It looks horrible, lol.

@RadioShadow Google IARC
And yes, you can create a second NNID on Wii U (not on 3DS!), but I think it's understandable that I want my purchases connected to ONE NNID and not a bunch of them.

Just checked the German press release and despite the fact that IARC is now working on the eShop, which makes the rating process fast, streamlined and FREE for all countries participating (which includes Germany), we are still not getting:
-Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures
-Petit Novel Series
-Life of Pixel
-Adventure Bar Story

To the publishers of those games: You know what, don't bother bringing any of your games to Germany in the future. It's apparent you don't care about your customers here and I sure as well won't buy anything from you again.

@Tempestryke This is a Collector's item limited to 1000 units sold in Japan where merchandising is way more expensive. There are lots of way cheaper Steiff plushes available. That aside, Steiff didn't only invent the teddy bear, they still make the world best plushes. You can't compare their quality to what you can get on etsy or deviantart at all. My sister still has her Steiff cat which she got 30 years ago when she was baptised and it looks like new. I also doubt that most people on etsy know anything about the materials they use and whether or not their products contain any harmful substances or colouring.

Steiff is a 135 years old company which needs to pay people/ earn money and for which only the best materials are good enough. They are not a bunch of random dudes selling some self made stuff online as a hobby. If your standards for plushes are not as high, just buy something else. It's still good to have the option for people who care.

@ULTRA-64 That was widely misinterpreted by journalists. The program itself actually only said that you can keep using it, by registering the Wii Fit meter. It never said it wouldn't work any more after the trial period is over. As long as the program itself is still installed, it will work. You probably can't re-download it, though.

I bought it half a year ago for 4€ and because I had downloaded the free trial version when it was up, I only had to connect the fit meter to the console to basically get the whole game for free. Bargain of the year.

@SuperWiiU You mean he is back to normal:

@sketchturner
1. It's all handmade
2. It's all handmade in Germany, not in some third world country using child labour
3. Steiff is of really high quality
4. It's a limited Collector's item
5. ...by the company which made the very first teddy bear in history

@sillygostly The digital version of the game is the same. As soon as you've purchased a total of 3000 Poké Diamonds you 'unlocked' the full version of the game, in which microtransactions are no longer a part of. Pokémon Picross works the same btw.

@TTGlider Natsume was only publishing this series in the US. So 'No', they had no creative input on the old games.

Could you please stop acting like this is part of the original Harvest Moon series? Long standing franchise? Back to the roots?

THIS is the second (!) game. If the German publisher of Nintendo games (before NoE was a thing) suddenly decided to make its own Mario games, it wouldn't be part of the legacy, it would be a fraud - and so is this.

@Waninoko Now that you told me this, I remember a NL article about the situation in Poland. I'm sorry, it's that bad there. :/
I noticed the contact information on your homepage was from a Czech company, but thought it was your local distributor for all Nintendo stuff and also responsible for providing costumer service.
For as long as the situation is like this, I'd still always contact NoE in Germany directly. I'm sure you can write to them in English and I know they can transfer accounts easily (and do so). The question is, if they also do it if you are from a country where Nintendo products aren't officially distributed. But honestly, I can't think for a reason, why they wouldn't. You are, after all, still a paying customer.

@Funem We already got Mario, Donkey Kong and Kirby offerings, so I'm quit sure they'll end this with Zelda.

You guys forget that those are Europe-wide discounts. The UK is one of Nintendo's worst markets within Europe, which is why their games tends to get cheap pretty quickly, there. That's not the case in most of the rest of Europe, though.

That aside, they should update their currency conversion rate. The € prices are a lot more attractive than the ones in £.

@Waninoko Well, I get that that's frustrating, but I don't understand why you did contact Nintendo UK?! First of all there are contact details on the polish Nintendo website (I just looked it up); secondly, even if there were no direct contact person within your region, you should contact Nintendo of Europe and not Nintendo UK. Nintendo UK has nothing to do with Poland, Nintendo of Europe is responsible and I'm sure they would have fixed this (at least they did for me in the past).

@Grumblevolcano Games are already tied to accounts. The sole problem is, that those accounts are also tied to hardware and Nintendo is the only one able to do a transfer in case you don't have the old and new piece of hardware on hand.
Iwata confirmed last or two years ago on an Investor's meeting, that accounts won't be tied to hardware any longer, though. So if Nintendo didn't change its plans, it's safe to assume we will gain full control over our accounts.

@LemonSlice I'm pretty sure their shipping is free in almost all of Europe and ALL EU countries.

EDIT: except for Ireland for some strange reason. oO
That's odd.

@Dimitk0o It works automatically as soon as you put three Nintendo games into your basket (excluding pre-orders, though even those worked in the beginning). Like most other local retailers with online stores, they don't ship internationally unfortunately. Sorry! :/

@KTT The NNID is a unified account system and if your console breaks it takes literally one call to connect it with a new one. You don't lose any of your games, so stop spreading lies.

@Octane
60€ for Pikmin? Lol
http://www.saturn.de/de/product/_pikmin-3-familie-gesellschaft-nintendo-wii-u-1717493.html

Here it's 35,99€ (on amazon as well btw). And that's excluding the "Buy two, get one free" promotion for Nintendo games, that's still going on.

@MitchVogel "via destructoid.com" I've sent NL an e-mail regarding the European release of Story of Seasons four days ago, hours after NoE issued the press release and before destructoid even wrote about it. Just sayin'.

@riChchestM This one. This is the original and the other one is terrible.

@Yomerodes No, they can't use "Harvest Moon" as a name, since Natsume owns this brand name worldwide. They've always been indirectly involved with the European releases, which is why it was used in the past.
The game is called "Story of Seasons" here, just as in the US.

So, Story of Seasons is finally arriving in Europe on January, 8th and apparently no one cares. I even wrote an e-mail yesterday to NL and they didn't even bring a news.
We can forget about the Popolocrois crossover, if not even the main series manages to cause some buzz. -.-

@Li_Bae So you did play it? Yeah, didn't thought so.

@llamareborn What's wrong with the pronunciation?

@nerffan1 The US got the exact same Twilight Princess Trailer, dude.

@joey302 a few release dates from the always preferred old world for you:

Yo-kai Watch: 2016
Fire Emblem Fates: 2016
Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon: February 19th, 2016

@mookysam I'm pretty sure Nintendo publishes them, as both games got German names in the German direct, which indicates the game will be translated into German, which Square Enix wouldn't do. Not for these games anyway.

@Andyliini Can't you buy it in Finland?

@Dr_Lugae NoE does all the translations simultaneously. It doesn't take more time to translate a game in five different languages by five different translation teams at the same time than doing only one translation by one team.

Besides, Europe often enough got text heavy games months before the US, like the last Prof. Layton game (and the spin-off) or Bravely Default.

@Artwark How is that supposed to work? I don't think it's possible for them to lock the other path permanently after you've chosen one.

Oh my... that was so cute.
All the best to the both of you!

@Brett USK is part of IARC and the system works everywhere the same. 'Nuff said.

@manu0 Ich habe den Beitrag oben editiert. Zur Ergänzung: IARC kommt erst seit einem halben Jahr zum Einsatz (NICHT seit 2013)! Im eShop gibt es das System außerdem erst seit nicht mal einer Woche. Auf Playstation und XBox gibt es das System noch gar nicht.

@manu0 Spiele im eShop sind Online-Spiele. Außerdem bezieht sich die Aussage auf IARC als Ganzes- das System funktioniert nämlich weltweit einheitlich. Es gibt keine Länder die auf bestimmten Plattformen nicht mitmachen. Entweder IARC funktioniert auf einem System oder nicht. Wenn es funktioniert, funktioniert es in ALLEN teilnehmenden Ländern.

Die USK hat übrigens als einzige Freigabebehörde bereits vor Einführung bestätigt, dass das System auch im eShop zum Einsatz kommen wird.

@manu0 Yes!

@SuperWiiU I'm not too optimistic if will get a European release at all. -.-

How is that a news and not a rumour? Reps are more often wrong than right and it has been confirmed already that it will feature online multiplayer.

@Nik-Davies:
Like this news?
http://nintendoeverything.com/animal-crossing-amiibo-festival-appears-to-feature-online-play/

@amiiboacid Lol, no.

@allav866 "I doubt Sony will say anything on the SNES's 30th, seeing how Nintendo treated them when trying to get a disc drive add-on for the system."

After what Sony secretly put into the treaties they haven't deserved better, to be honest.

"There's still no word about any sort of release in Europe, but keep your fingers crossed."

Now even our own developers prioritize the North American market. -.-

@Volke93 Kimishima is not president of NoE. And why would he insist to launch 3DS Nintendo Selects in Europe, instead of launching something similar by himself in Japan?
