I still don't get it why some of the games have not been released in Europe. I try my best to understand some of Nintendo's decisions, but I really can't...
One can only hope that Nintendo listens... I, for one, would love to be able to buy 3DS games from Amazon.com, since I have found a lot of cheap offers for cool games. Unfortunately, I am "stuck" with using Amazon.co.uk, simply because my 3DS is European. That sucks. :/
Well then, if the controls are the biggest problem of this game, that means that it would be perfect to play it on the 3DS console. Ordering it from Amazon immediately!
@evanescent_hero Well, as I said, these two are my favorite Zelda games, so judging games by their graphics is obviously not something that I do.
But, these 2 games are 12 years old and they were published for the GBC console. It is just my opinion that they would not be worth $20 a piece, especially if you take into consideration the fact that they will be bought by many people who already own them on a GBC console.
So, why pay the "full" price for the same games twice? It is just a re-release, and there won't be any new features. So, 5-6 euros is the perfect price to pay for these games now, in 2013, on a Virtual Console.
I am glad that I have Pyramids, a beautiful new game for the 3DS, instead of an old game that is being republished for a new console. Nintendo should focus on publishing the top titles on the Virtual Console, and nothing else.
Besides, they are focusing too much on the NES and GB systems. They should start releasing more top SNES, GBC and N64 titles. As far as I know, they are part of the Virtual Console too!
Well, you could always press L or R to change the marble color, so you don't need to tap the frog. Also, you should have mentioned the slowdowns that occur on some of the later levels with more marbles on the screen.
A fine list of game, although I wouldn't choose Mario Kart: Super Circuit to go with it. Mario kart 7 has just been released as a better, more refined game, and I doubt that any 3DS owner who has that game would go back and play something older.
Bravo! A wonderful article, full of moments that really stand out in the series. And, yeah, about the PH puzzle, I thought it was a bug or something, that prevented me from completing the game.
Played it a couple of years ago, finished it, thoroughly enjoyed it, but will not play it again... Don't know why, I just think that this game is meant to be one-time full experience only, it's enough to make me appreciate it for life.
@4: Yes, there is, and although you can't expect the variety of objects present in the PC version, there's quite a lot to choose for building and designing.

Re: 3DS System Update Adds Nintendo Network ID, Miiverse and Unified eShop Funds
Whenever I try to open the Nintendo eShop, I get some random error messages.
Guess I'll have to wait for the hype to cool off...

Can't wait!
Re: Inazuma Eleven 3 Kicks Off in Europe on 27th September
@ricklongo
What you said.
Re: First Impressions: Yoshi's New Island
Definitely one of the most overrated series in the world.
Not impressed by any of the Yoshi's Island games.
Re: Nintendo Download: 20th June (Europe)
OMG, RAYMAN ORIGINS!!! I AM SO GETTING THIS GAME!
Re: New Touch Detective Game Looks to be in the Works
The previous two games were among the strangest I have ever played. o.O
However, I thought they lacked any challenging elements/features.
Re: Review: Paper Mario: Sticker Star (3DS)
No experience and leveling up... I am disappointed.
Re: Review: Super Mario 64 DS (DS)
Well then, if the controls are the biggest problem of this game, that means that it would be perfect to play it on the 3DS console.
Ordering it from Amazon immediately!

N64 titles too.

@evanescent_hero Well, as I said, these two are my favorite Zelda games, so judging games by their graphics is obviously not something that I do.
But, these 2 games are 12 years old and they were published for the GBC console. It is just my opinion that they would not be worth $20 a piece, especially if you take into consideration the fact that they will be bought by many people who already own them on a GBC console.

Re: Zelda Oracle Titles To Have an Initial Discount on the 3DS Virtual Console in North America
@grumblegrumble These two Zelda games are my favorite ones, but NO. They are not worth $20 a piece.
Re: Video: See How Mugen's "20 Hour" 3DS XL Battery Fares Against Other Nintendo Handhelds
$100 for a battery.
$130 for a brand new 3DS console.
Because logic!

Re: Europe Now Receiving Club Nintendo Stars For All eShop Downloads
Meh... I went to my Nintendo Club account, and I didn't find any surveys for MK7, Harmoknight and Gunman Clive. Why is that?
Besides, as long as Nintendo doesn't offer games for the stars, they are practically worthless.
Re: Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy Soundtracks Now Available on iTunes
Here's an idea: make this game available on 3DS eShop.
That would be better. ^.^
Re: Nintendo Download: 28th March 2013 (Europe)
So, when are these games going to become available for download? The day has come, but so far, I only see Heroes of Ruin in my eShop menu.
Re: Warren Spector Wants to Make a DuckTales Game
Duck Tales 2 was one of my personal favorites on the NES...
A fantastic game! Oh, gosh, I feel nostalgic now. :/
Re: Rumour: Legend Of Zelda: Majora’s Mask Coming To 3DS
Meanwhile, in a parallel universe, Nintendo actually makes new games, instead of constantly remaking and re-releasing old ones!STOP IT ALREADY!!!
Re: Feature: DS Games We Want on Wii U
I'd rather focus on some completely new games than transfer old ones.
Re: 3DS XL Comparision Gallery
Kudos to Nintendo, for not including an AC adapter, a compulsory part of every electronic device.
You lost it this time, Nintendo... :/
Re: Review: 99Seconds (DSiWare)
Haha, the sub-title is simply hilarious!
Re: Register Mario Tennis Open This Week, Get 250 Bonus Stars
Personal, madam.
Re: Register Mario Tennis Open This Week, Get 250 Bonus Stars
It still doesn't change the fact that this is one of the most disappointing Mario titles since... Well, since forever.
Re: Nintendo Leaves BAFTA Empty-Handed
@47drift
It's still Zelda, how innovative could it be?
@jibberldd5
Even those, my friend.
I bought the Ice White bundle pack, and finished it in 2.5 days...
Re: Nintendo Leaves BAFTA Empty-Handed
Well, I was also left disappointed with SM3DL. I mean, it's a great game with great levels, but the level of challenge is next to none.

Well, you could always press L or R to change the marble color, so you don't need to tap the frog.

Re: Super Mario 3D Land Could Have Had Skateboarding
No, thanks. I like it the way it is.
Re: Rayman Origins 3DS Leaps the Atlantic on 20th March
Sugary!
Re: 3DS Ambassador Game Boy Advance Games Revealed
A fine list of game, although I wouldn't choose Mario Kart: Super Circuit to go with it.
Mario kart 7 has just been released as a better, more refined game, and I doubt that any 3DS owner who has that game would go back and play something older.
Re: Feature: Memorable Zelda Moments
Bravo! A wonderful article, full of moments that really stand out in the series.
And, yeah, about the PH puzzle, I thought it was a bug or something, that prevented me from completing the game.
Re: From April to June, Nintendo Only Sold 700,000 3DS Consoles
Not surprised at all...
Re: Miyamoto: A Link to the Past Could be Reworked for the 3DS
I'd rather see a new title, instead of every single 2D classic being remade in 3D. :/
Running out of fresh ideas, maybe?
Re: Capcom Objects to Ace Attorney Investigations 2 Translation Costs
Just a painful reminder that making games is all about the money.
Re: Sony CEO Refers to Nintendo Handhelds as "Babysitting Tools"
I love the smell of rivalry in the morning...
Re: We'll be Forever Collecting Carrots with Bobby Carrot Soon
Whenever I see a rabbit-related game, I remind myself of Jazz Jackrabbit... Would love to see a Jazz game on the 3DS.
Re: Nintendo Responds to 3DS Black Screen Error
@45: And did you read somewhere that I was justifying the other consoles?
So, Nintendo should stick to an excuse of the "Other consoles have had initial errors as well" type? If yes, that is just... WOW... :/
Re: Nintendo Responds to 3DS Black Screen Error
Shame on Nintendo, what a way to justify the price of their latest main-stream console. :/
Re: Win 1 of 3 Nintendo 3DS' & 4 Games with Ubisoft (UK)
So then, I'm far from registering for such a prize.
Good luck guys.
Re: Talking Point: 3DS Launch Line-Up Lacks Fresh Ideas
No innovative games, and yet, people will spend hundreds of dollars on playing revamped versions of their personal favorites.
Re: Review: Final Fantasy III (Virtual Console / Super Nintendo)
Played it a couple of years ago, finished it, thoroughly enjoyed it, but will not play it again... Don't know why, I just think that this game is meant to be one-time full experience only, it's enough to make me appreciate it for life.

Re: Nintendo Announces Official 3DS UK Launch Line-Up
I'd go for SF IV, Rayman 3D and SW III: Clone Wars anytime.
Re: First Impressions: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D
To play this game with a battery that lasts merely 3 hours is a sin.
I'll wait for the second 3DS version.
