Got it from Amazon today, with free shipping that was pretty fast but the box is bent at the top and cannot stand without falling over, will not buy from them again and that stupid costume is crap after level 5! As for the game it is just great, I am loving all these changes.
It really seems like they rushed this year huh? Most of those prizes are games you can buy now. I got the soundtrack though because I love Majora's Mask.
@Weedy Atlus is probably the worst about tempting European players. That is why I am very against region locking. It is not a matter of waiting but if the game will ever be localized there in the first place.
I completely agree with all of this. The game looked great already and it gets an HD treatment? Would have made more sense on the 3DS that is for sure. Not only that but it is probably one of the biggest Wii U games this year and there is zero new content. They have an ISLAND system and there is no new content. Even if I had a Wii U I would wait for the price to go down. If they are not going to put any effort into it other than a fresh coat of paint then I will not pay full price.
Seemed like half this review could be said about any Shin Megami Tensei game. Still I already preordered this on Amazon months ago. Also, finally a main character in these games that can use magic so they are useful!
@Super_Gravy You would really have to look at videos of SMT IV since each game in the series is different from the other. But basically it is a JRPG where you play as a human and battle demons by recruiting demons to fight with you. The games have a general good vs evil thing to them where depending on the choices you make determines your ending and alignment which is tied to your demons.
@Beta Well I am American so a little different for me, Code of Princess did get a physical release. Plus a digital only release is inexcusable when Nintendo has yet to make an account system. Sure keeping saves is a huge step in the right direction finally but there is still the matter of the money.
The Wii U gamepad can give a nice immersion like in ZombiU with the backpack. Plus it would be great in a Metroid Prime game or (god forbid they make money) Pokemon Snap U.
I would like a Zelda game where Ganondorf decides to change his plan and goes for Link first before he gets powered up and easily takes him so Zelda has to go save him. Her main weapon would be the bow of course since the Master Sword could not be wielded by her.
@TrueWiiMaster Yep, this is exactly how I am. I will always buy the physical game instead of the digital given the choice (hoping Ace Attorney 5 gets physical release) unless the deal is REALLY good to pass up but apparently that will never happen, I only get digital PC games is as far as I go. I like knowing I can always go back to a game and having collectables. The only mostly online play games I would get is Monster Hunter.
@Jaz007 Crazy idea here. Maybe someone wants to PLAY those games huh? Pretty hard and expensive to find an old NES cartridge if there is no online distribution for that game but you are right they do not deserve to have fun, only Nintendo deserves money for something they will never get money for.
Are you people really upset about this? Sorry but not like Nintendo is banking on these ridiculously old games to begin with so you can quit acting like this will pirate every WiiU and 3DS game. I'm not sorry.
This should definitely be on the 3DS. Wii U is getting Wind Waker (which honestly seems like the 3D on the 3DS would be better for that) and can download Majora's Mask anyways so it would make more sense to have it on the 3DS. Plus I like having my favourite games on a portable system.
@DESS-M-8 I know. :/ I asked Nintendo about it years ago. Difference between Nintendo and Microsoft, Bad Fur Day gave you all those fun multiplayer games. Live and Reloaded gave you a shooter.
Personally I really liked Pokemon Trainer, if they get rid of Jigglypuff they better keep Pokemon Trainer because just Pikachu and unnamed special attacker is not enough!
I hope they get rid of Wario, what a bad character to use. Olimar too. Lucas is just a clone of Ness. As much as I love Star Fox they should get rid of Falco or Wolf, three characters with pretty close moves is a bit much.
@OorWullie You left out Smash Bros but I agree. Nintendo had the only exclusives that interested me. Sony and Microsoft just had endless shooters, how boring.

Re: Prima Games Offering Collector's Treasure Chest of Zelda Game Guides and Goodies
That price for the entire series maybe but for just those? No I cannot afford that.
Re: Namco Bandai Is Teasing A New 3DS Game, But What Could It Be?
I am thinking it is a .hack game.
Re: Etrian Odyssey IV Confirmed for European Release on 30th August
God I love the music in this game.
Re: Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl Release Date Confirmed for North America
Does anyone else wonder if they will remake the first three for the 3DS?

Re: Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl Release Date Confirmed for North America
Cannot wait!!! I will need to beat it before Pokemon comes out! I wonder if it will have all those QR quests too.
Re: Precursor Games Relaunching Shadow of the Eternals Kickstarter Campaign
Huh I thought the game would be dead in the water after that dev was found out to be a pedophile.
Re: Weirdness: Zelda Answers Rejected on Jeopardy, Hearts are Broken
Could you even consider it a question? Looks more like a statement.
Re: Review: Metroid (Wii U eShop / NES)
I prefer Zero Mission, I could not stand how every room looked the same in this and there was no map to make it worse.
Re: Review: Mario & Luigi: Dream Team (3DS)
I did not like Bowser's Inside Story so I will pass unless this offers something more. I will get Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon next.
Re: StreetPass DLC System Update Finally Hits North America
Maybe when I get that free $30 dollars if the discount is still going on. I will probably save it for SMT 4 DLC though.
Re: CoroCoro Reveals Details on New and Existing Pokemon
I guess I am getting Y. I do not want to see that cotton candy Pokemon ever.
Re: Review: Shin Megami Tensei IV (3DS)
I am really hoping that Amazon does not take forever to ship this to me.
Re: Nintendo: Wii U Fire Emblem Would Need To Sell 700K To Justify The Effort
I do not even have a Wii U but I would buy this as soon as it came out. Why? Because Fire Emblem games are a pain to find after release.

Best news I heard all day! I do not even care that we have not heard the Club Nintendo prizes yet.

Re: European Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney Release Given Some Hope
@MagicEmperor Wouldn't that mean they lost?
Re: Soapbox: Why Region Locking Is A Total Non-Issue
@hydeks Genius, except you are ignoring that MANY games are never released outside of Japan or just never go to Europe.
Re: Satoru Iwata - "There Are Some Reasons Behind" Region Locking
This is why you fail Iwata. You have no business sense.
Re: European Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney Release Given Some Hope
@ferthepoet No. I refuse to pay full price for a game I can only buy digital.
Re: Soapbox: Why Region Locking Is A Total Non-Issue
Hey Damien, how about you buy some Atlus games in the UK? OH YOU CANNOT!
Re: Miyamoto: Fresh Experiences Make A New Game, Not New Characters
Well Mario has certainly been beaten to death. Zelda is always a fresh experience though.
Re: Video: This Shin Megami Tensei IV Limited Edition Set is a Thing of Beauty
I preordered this over a month ago on Amazon and cannot wait! I really liked Strange Journey so I hope this is better.
Re: New Loveplus+ Heading To 3DS in Japan
I remember hearing about a Japanese guy marrying a girl in one of these games.
Re: New Etrian Odyssey Title Makes Japanese Chart Debut in Third Place
I am going to get Millennium Girl when it first comes out.
Re: Poll: How Important is Dual / Second Screen Gaming?
The Wii U gamepad can give a nice immersion like in ZombiU with the backpack. Plus it would be great in a Metroid Prime game or (god forbid they make money) Pokemon Snap U.
Re: Fan Campaign Starts for Princess Zelda to be Given a "Stronger" - Perhaps Playable - Role

Re: Microsoft Execs Thought They Owned Donkey Kong After Acquiring Rare
Nintendo should have bought Rare, then their games would still be good and we would have a SEQUEL TO CONKER TOO.

Re: Talking Point: It's Time for Nintendo to Drop Region Locking
People really need to know besides the great games America misses out on, Europe misses even more of them.

Re: Review: Project X Zone (3DS)
Great an 8/10 and I did not preorder it. Whatever I was just not that interested in it anyways. You can only regularly do two moves.

Re: Review: New Super Luigi U (Wii U)
I think it is funny how often Luigi is about to die in that trailer. I wish I could get it but no Wii U.

Re: Talking Point: E3 Exposed the Strains of Nintendo's Development Workload
This is why I did not get the HD craze, it makes development so much harder and is the reason TimeSplitters ended.
Re: Review: Time Hollow (DS)
I will never understand why reviewers do not like this game that much but the entire fan community loves it.
