@LztheBlehBird Thats a January and February game. It's May. And many consider VC separate. Why shouldn't there be at least a decent VC and 3D game each month? Or even more often, if it's such the eshop is such a key feature?
i find your anti-complaint campaign more annoying than the complainers.
Not that I was planning on getting a Wii U any time soon, but that kills my interest for downloads. Downloads ARE worth less. No physical (actual) ownership, no physical media, including manual or box or whatever for collectors. No after-purchase value.
in response to the overheating Wii issue: that's weird. i have a launch Wii that I usually leave in standby (orange) and its been just fine. article: Wii U needs to have a moderate sized HDD, 32GB minimum. I get and appreciate the availability to use an external, but if I can't put more than 1-2 games on it, that's a problem. We also need to be forward-thinking, which the Wii was not in terms of a lot of things, especially the 40MB limit. Also sales. Ninty, you better have sales. (I've read about 3rd party vouchers) It really does make a world of difference for online platforms.
@hyperstar- going to tell someone to shut up without even contributing an alternative view? why dont you get out? @skakko-i respectfully say "hell no" this. SSB needs to stay a 2D platformer-fighter, or else it really stops being SSB.
Monthly subscriptions...well, itll be interesting to see if that works. Personally, I hate them and won't buy this. Interesting that it requires so many GBs to play too. Do you have to buy new boots for this game as well?
I hope Kid Ick enjoys good sales in the months to come because it really deserves it.
Also nice to see Mario Party 9 doing so well, considering I've seen next to no advertising and it's a Wii title coming out at this time, going up against ME3 and the like.
thats why i cant get into any of those series, they are way too damn long. ive read the first hundred or so of One Piece and Naruto and watched a dozen of each of the three, but i dont think anything should be 600 chapters or episodes long. thats just ridiculous. (imo)
kudos to the ps3 game though, hope its actually a decent one this time. also, i hope kid ick does better. it really deserves good sales, Ninty and Sora put a lot of work into it and it shows.
This and Tales of Graces F have made this last week pretty great. And since I'll be a little less busy next week, they'll get that much more attention!
It's great to hear they'll be honoring accounts etc. again for their customers. While it doesn't sound like the best store, it'd be hard on Europe gaming industry without it so I'm glad someone bought it up.
Missing a few, but it's nice to have ANY releases ahead of time, as NOA has always been less than adequate in this department in the past. I'll be potentially picking up both of 3/8's offerings when I get my 3DS back from repairs.
Coolios, I'll be getting this down the line. I'm ok with no online, as how likely are you to maintain a connection with 4 players, with no one having to leave, for 30 straight minutes or more?

Re: Nintendo Shares Drop After E3 Press Conference
This happens every time Nintendo has a crappy presentation. So, not surprised and they kinda deserve it.
Re: Reaction: Your Opinions on Nintendo's E3 Conference
It was way below expectations.
Re: E3 2012: Yes, We Will See New 3DS Games Today
And then nothing new was announced (today.)
Re: Atlus Will Bring Code of Princess to North America
Looks yummy.
Man, I got 3 emails from ATLUS this morning, each announcing a cool-looking game. I love them so much-even if none of those was Persona 5 (yet!!)
Re: You Shall Not Pass This LEGO Lord of the Rings Trailer
Great use of license but I've never cared for this game series. The gameplay just bugs the hell out of me. I'll prolly pick up an IRL set though
Re: E3 2012: Wii U Pro Controller Offers More Options
@peengaweeno- what the hell is that?!
for a secondary controller, thats pretty bamf-looking. original, no. but a comfy controller doesnt need to be.
Re: Reaction: Nintendo Finally Arrives Online with Wii U
This could be REALLY cool. I hope it delivers. (Speed is gonna be the big issue where the Wii failed big time.)
Re: E3 2012: Pre-E3 Nintendo Direct Round Up
Cool to hear they're finally stepping up the plate big time with online connectivity. Whether it'll actually deliver this time only time will tell.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend?
Kneedeep in MGS Collection on PS3 and Devil Survivor Overclocked on 3DS.
Just picked up Mortal Kombat and Alice Madness Returns on Ps3.
Hoping to go back to Xenoblade soon, too.
Re: Xenoblade and Kid Icarus Missing from NPD's April Chart
Why no pushsquare link for Witcher 2? I want a review of that.

Re: Feature: Kid Icarus - Nintendo's Next Big Franchise?
I'd be down with KI becoming a full-on franchise. I really enjoyed Uprising and look forward to a refined sequel.
If Nintendo is trying to push the brand though, they need to release the cards (as in, buy packs or buy them on CN) in North America, too.
Re: Unchained Blades
psp localization confirmed. wonder if eshop version will have voiceovers as well.

They should not cost the same.

Re: May's Club Nintendo Rewards Are Up Now
The games selection is getting weaker each month. Eco looks decent I guess but...
Re: Midnight Purple 3DS Hits North America on 20th May
that is a sexy, sexy colour
/sticks with black one i already have for obvious reasons
Re: Mega Man Legends 3 Campaign Hits 100,000 Strong
If it's not Ace Attorney, I don't support CAPCOM (won't buy or won't buy new.) And then we didn't get AAI2...hope to the Almighty we get Layton v AA.
Re: Sakurai: Smash Bros. to 'Change Direction a Little' on Wii U and 3DS
@hyperstar- going to tell someone to shut up without even contributing an alternative view? why dont you get out?
@skakko-i respectfully say "hell no" this. SSB needs to stay a 2D platformer-fighter, or else it really stops being SSB.
Re: Dragon Quest X Wii Lands in Japan on 2nd August
Monthly subscriptions...well, itll be interesting to see if that works.
Personally, I hate them and won't buy this. Interesting that it requires so many GBs to play too.
Do you have to buy new boots for this game as well?
Re: Nintendo Download: 26th April 2012 (North America)
@wariofan- its correct more often than its wrong, so wah for you
Re: Fire Emblem: Awakening Battles to Number One in Japanese Chart
Great week for 3DS, hope that continues Westward so we continue to see these great titles!
Re: Peek Between Your Fingers at a Project Zero 2 Trailer
Want. Please bring over, hopefully with Japanese voice an option.
Re: Talking Point: Could AR Games Drive eShop Sales?
YuGiOh 3DS with AR cards. seriously could be one of the coolest things ever
Re: Pikmin 2 Finally Reaches North American Wiis Soon
I almost ask what the point is but there arguably is. Weird though in that they gave up on NPC ages ago. NOA is so weird sometimes.
Re: Panini to Sell Kid Icarus: Uprising AR Cards in European Stores
@8bit- they are from the UK, where you could get KI AR cards via their Club Nintendo system. (we cannot, currently)
Re: Panini to Sell Kid Icarus: Uprising AR Cards in European Stores
I'd be totally down for this. I have 10 cards so far, and am hungry for more.
Collector in me+stuff for KI+AR stuff=sweet
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend?
I plan on finishing Tales of Graces F, trying out Medieval Moves some more
and starting SMT: Devil Survivor Overclocked that I just got
Re: Double Spooky Photo Action Hits Europe on 29th June
I am rather interested in the 3DS title, but its just now coming out today so I'll be reading some reviews this weekend.
Re: The U.S. Sales Results are in for Nintendo
I hope Kid Ick enjoys good sales in the months to come because it really deserves it.
Also nice to see Mario Party 9 doing so well, considering I've seen next to no advertising and it's a Wii title coming out at this time, going up against ME3 and the like.
Re: Club Nintendo Europe Gives Coins for JRPG Trilogy
This is a really cool idea. Hope they bring this idea over. (Although I'd have to re-buy Xenoblade.)
Re: Pit and Pokémon Share Strong March Sales in Japan
thats why i cant get into any of those series, they are way too damn long. ive read the first hundred or so of One Piece and Naruto and watched a dozen of each of the three, but i dont think anything should be 600 chapters or episodes long. thats just ridiculous. (imo)
kudos to the ps3 game though, hope its actually a decent one this time. also, i hope kid ick does better. it really deserves good sales, Ninty and Sora put a lot of work into it and it shows.
Re: Out Today: Xenoblade Chronicles (North America)
This and Tales of Graces F have made this last week pretty great.
And since I'll be a little less busy next week, they'll get that much more attention!
Re: Review: Rhythm Thief & the Emperor's Treasure (3DS)
Still 9 weeks away for NA, dag.
Not that this is a day one for me, but I am interested.
Re: GAME Getting Back On Its Feet After Takeover
It's great to hear they'll be honoring accounts etc. again for their customers.
While it doesn't sound like the best store, it'd be hard on Europe gaming industry without it so I'm glad someone bought it up.
Re: April's Club Nintendo Rewards Are Now Available
"3DS VC"
Um no, DSiWare.
Misleading headline is misleading.
Re: Spirit Camera Event Set to Haunt San Francisco
so why exactly is it 18+ if the game is rated Teen?
Re: Vigil Games: "Wii U On Par with Current-Gen Consoles"
circa 2005: Current-gen graphics enter with the 7th generation
circa 2012: Nintendo offers Current-gen graphics
Re: Kid Icarus: Uprising AR Cards Now Available on Club Nintendo Europe
im hoping theyll do this for CN NOA! :3
Re: Review: Kid Icarus: Uprising (3DS)
FYI for American gamers: Best Buy is selling the game today for $29.99 ($10 off) in store and online. IDK how long this will last; I got mine today!

Re: Nintendo Download: 15th March 2012 (North America)
Nice to have some VC coming out the wazoo!
Not sure if I'm interested in any of it, but we'll see.
Re: Nothing Says "Marry Me" Like Swapnote
well done. this is one of my favorite VG-related proposals, behind only the Portal 2 custom map proposal with GlaDOS lending her voice. <3
Re: North America, These Are Your Upcoming eShop Games
Missing a few, but it's nice to have ANY releases ahead of time, as NOA has always been less than adequate in this department in the past.
I'll be potentially picking up both of 3/8's offerings when I get my 3DS back from repairs.
Re: Game Gear Hits North American eShop on 15th March
I like the prices being variable instead of a set price. I think that was/is one of the big flaws of VC on Wii.
Re: Nintendo Download: 8th March 2012 (Europe)
Nice week, THREE VC! Hope ours looks similar.
Re: Spanish Pokémon Team Disgraced
Disgraceful. I don't know what else to say, other than I'm glad it wasn't my country because honestly that wouldn't have surprised me much.
Re: Game of the Month: February 2012 - Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D
I approve of this new feature.
Good pick in a good month.
Re: Review: Mario Party 9 (Wii)

Re: March's Club Nintendo Rewards Are Up Now
Nothing of interest since January, poo. But to anyone who likes these, cool for you, at least.
