I already got the million coins, yesterday! I played for hours on end since its Sunday release and have completed every aspect of the game. Time to wait for Wii U.
They better mean that all DLC for Fire Emblem that has reached Japan will be included in the game when it hits here next year right? Since that content has already been created it would go against Iwata's word not to do so.
@Happy_Mask Some GameStop stores are opening a bit early at 10:00 or 11:00 for the 3DS XL launch, but it's by a store-to-store basis, so you might as well give them a call and find out.
Still another week of nothing good. I'll be getting New Super Mario Bros. 2 at retail with my 3DS XL, but I wish August 19th would come sooner rather than later!
Super Mario World was my first Mario game, and it was great! I played it for hours on end unlocking new areas and finding new secrets. I even got all of the Yoshi coins eventually.
@Torgo The guy in the store made the pre-order card himself, but he says it's in the computer system. "It was later revealed by a Best Buy staff member that while the tags were indeed printed in-store, the barcode and SKU exist on the company's computer system."
I bought the original 3DS on launch day and right now I have the Red and Black 3DS XL reserved at Gamestop. August 19th can't come sooner. I can't truthfully judge it yet without having it in my possession, but it certainly seems to me that bigger is better.
This can be taken as good or bad news. Maybe digital is such a big hit that it crashed Nintendo's servers, or maybe Nintendo is unprepared despite Iwata saying it is.
Didn't Nintendo announce in October 2011 that we would be able to access the eShop from computers and smartphones and eventually make purchases? Where is it Nintendo? Where is it? Edit: Contacting NOA for answers.
"It can also be said, with justification, that complaining about full price downloads is unfair." How is it unfair to complain? When you cut out the middleman alone the product should be much cheaper.

Make digital downloads cheaper Nintendo.
Re: New Super Mario Bros. 2 Retail Downloads Account For 5% of Sales in Japan
@Tech101 That's funny, GameStop said they weren't selling them.... hmmm.
Re: Professor Layton vs Ace Attorney is "Progressing Well"
@Flowerlark Yes, you are wrong. Both of these series are amazing!
Re: New Super Mario Bros. 2 Retail Downloads Account For 5% of Sales in Japan
Didn't we know this about a week ago? Maybe it wasn't on Nintendo Life that I saw this...
Re: Talking Point: The Long Suffering Luigi
Super Luigi Sunshine.... it must happen.
Re: Iwata: Nintendo Won't Deceive With DLC

Re: Out Now: New Super Mario Bros. 2 Hops Into Europe

Re: Nintendo Download: 16th August 2012 (North America)
Still another week of nothing good. I'll be getting New Super Mario Bros. 2 at retail with my 3DS XL, but I wish August 19th would come sooner rather than later!
Re: Feature: DS Games We Want on Wii U
I'd love to see Professor Layton on Wii U and another far superior Ouendan game rather than Elite Beat Agents.
Re: Learn With Pokémon: Typing Adventure Taps Into Action on 21st September
I would like this to come to the US. Maybe it will happen....maybe.
Re: Whoever said Penélope Cruz, You Were Right!
That's a surprise! I had no idea!
Re: Feature: Our Favourite Super Mario Games
Super Mario World was my first Mario game, and it was great! I played it for hours on end unlocking new areas and finding new secrets. I even got all of the Yoshi coins eventually.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Five
I'll be playing my old DS games I've never finished.
Elite Beat Agents & Picross 3D. Can't believe I forgot about them.
Re: Picross E Listing Appears On Euro 3DS eShop
Hope this is coming to the US soon!
Re: Best Buy Gives Strongest Indication Yet That Black Ops 2 Wii U Is Coming
@Torgo The guy in the store made the pre-order card himself, but he says it's in the computer system. "It was later revealed by a Best Buy staff member that while the tags were indeed printed in-store, the barcode and SKU exist on the company's computer system."
Re: HMV Says You Can Now Preorder the Wii U in Black and White
If black isn't availible at launch I'm not buying. I'll be waiting for black of course.
Re: Feature: Crazy Nintendo Crossovers We'd Like to See
Bowser Barber... that would be cool. You could shave Wario, Waluigi, Mario, Luigi, and.................. Peach.
Re: Mass Effect 3 Set to Launch Alongside Wii U
What is this "Mass Effect" people are talking about? Global Warming?
Re: Kid Icarus: Uprising Series 2 AR Cards Flying Into North America
Why wouldn't they bring these to retail?
Re: Nintendo Download: 2nd August 2012 (North America)
8-bit summer is over? Then, where are those Sonic Games?
Re: Reaction: Age Ratings and Video Games
I'm with the majority on all the issues.
Re: 3DS Hardware Dominates Japanese Charts
I do realize that the 3DS LL just launched in Japan but the 3DS outsold the Vita about 26 : 1. And Pachter thinks 3DS is doomed!
Re: Matte Red and Matte Blue DSi Models Hit North America This Week
I wonder who will buy this.
Re: Catch Pokédex 3D Pro in North America on 8th November
I think I'll get this. I'm a sucker for Pokemon.
Re: 3DS Hardware Dominates Japanese Charts
@Knuckles Over 9000.
Re: Talking Point: What Do You Think of 3DS XL?
I bought the original 3DS on launch day and right now I have the Red and Black 3DS XL reserved at Gamestop. August 19th can't come sooner. I can't truthfully judge it yet without having it in my possession, but it certainly seems to me that bigger is better.
Re: Review: World Heroes Perfect (Wii Virtual Console / Neo Geo)
@3DSNoobieNerd I think the title "Less than perfect" would suit it better.
Re: 3DS XL and New Super Mario Bros. 2 Boast Big Sales in Japan
Is this the most successful 3DS game launch yet?
Re: Review: Mole Mania (3DS eShop / Game Boy)
@Retro_on_theGo I thought the exact same thing!
Re: Review: Mole Mania (3DS eShop / Game Boy)
I absolutely love this game. In my mind it's a 9/10.
Re: Full 3DS Retail Downloads Have Teething Troubles
This can be taken as good or bad news. Maybe digital is such a big hit that it crashed Nintendo's servers, or maybe Nintendo is unprepared despite Iwata saying it is.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Four
Mole Mania, Wario Land, and Mighty Switch Force!
Re: Review: New Art Academy (3DS)
I may consider buying this, if it comes to the U.S, which it probably will.
Re: Review: Rabi Laby 2 (DSiWare)
I'm still on the fence about this one. I am currently playing a lot of great games so maybe after those I will check this out.
Re: Toki Tori Hatches on European eShop Next Week
My guess is that this will reach the U.S next week as well. Probably going to be part of 8-bit summer.
Re: Nintendo Download: 26th July 2012 (North America)
Great deal on Colors! 3D. I might buy this along with Mole Mania and Wario Land!
Re: Michael Pachter Doubts 3DS XL's Powers of Revival
Pachter: Nintendo Will End!
1,500,000 years later: Civilization ends.
Pachter: I was right!
Re: Mole Mania Burrows onto US eShop Tomorrow
Wow! We finally get something first!
Re: New Club Nintendo of Japan Rewards
As always, better rewards than here in the US. (sigh)
Re: Nintendo Financial Results: Console and Software Sales
All aboard the 3DS XL hype-train!
Re: 3DS System Update is Available Now
Didn't Nintendo announce in October 2011 that we would be able to access the eShop from computers and smartphones and eventually make purchases? Where is it Nintendo? Where is it? Edit: Contacting NOA for answers.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo's Digital Pricing
"It can also be said, with justification, that complaining about full price downloads is unfair." How is it unfair to complain? When you cut out the middleman alone the product should be much cheaper.
Re: Retro Mario Discounts Jumping Onto North American eShop
Already have these. Hopefully Nintendo will be some new Mario content to Nintendo eShop. How about Super Mario Bros. 2? Or 3?
