@WhiteUmbrella You can also hold the joycons between your fingers while it's on a surface and twirl it around. You aren't limited to a hand grip like a mouse. You can even do the motions of the squeegee section shown in Mouse Work video by pinching the joycons.
It's a shame that actual fans who bought Overcooked 1 and 2 can't celebrate the 5th Anniversary if they haven't re-bought the games with the All You Can Eat version.
@Ventilator I noticed later, was still asleep when I quoted you.
Delayed Nintendo Download update could just mean people at NoE have vacations, or that a Nintendo Direct is looming
@samuelvictor Those games aren't out yet. Release dates are TBD. But it is weird how those are the first one that come up. This is not properly done. Page 2 should give you better results, since those titles are in the eShop.
Weird that Nintendo put this out half baked. At least you can search titles and find them that way.
@Kokusho It's easy, just go to www.nintendo.co.uk and go to the bottom. Click on the Nintendo eShop icon (it's the second one between Nintendo Direct and Miiverse) or Nintendo eShop under Misc.
Had to import this game from USA since the series was killed off in Europe. Great game with different specialties, but I prefer New Blood's co-op mode.
I already have the mobile game. The extra co-op features could sell this version, just depends on what has been added and price. The game itself was good.
It's nice to see an independent dev take care of a global release. Are you doing the European publishing yourself or is Nintendo helping? How's the process so far?
That's the best way to publish a title later, and that is to offer something extra, good job there.
I loved Fluidity on WiiWare (shame Nintendo doesn't want a sequel for the U), but still need to try Stealth Inc 2. With so many recommendations on these comments might get it during the holidays.
2015 eShop releases continue to shine with stellar titles such as Affordable Space Adventures, Chariot, Hyper Light Drifter, Swords & Soldiers 2 and The Next Penelope.
@Ebitwomaru Si, pa Reyes xD https://twitter.com/NintendoES/status/520529355404230656 That's what it says on twitter (and Shiryu mentioned). It releases on the 2nd of January, you got few days to purchase it for the "Three Wise Men"!
@Shiryu That's because you are under Nintendo of Iberia (Nintendo Ibérica). And due to festivities it means that the game can still release the game during our holiday shopping spree.
@NauticalCrimes You know they could map the Gamepad controls to be like the Classic Controller. Then every CC supported game could be playable offscreen.
@Pahvi The IR could be replaced with the touchscreen.
Nintendo can do it, but obviously prefers if you buy the WiiU titles to have this interaction. (VC for example)
There should be part of the website dedicated to keeping this information in a nice table. Especially for us European's to know which VC games are in 50Hz and which are 60Hz. Is there even an equivalent list like this kept anywhere up-to-date somewhere around the web?
NL... In the source he states that the main problem isn't the age ratings bureaucracy as your article suggests.
We'll see. I do want players in EU/NZ/AU to play our games, the ratings issues are less of a stopping block for me than inconsistent policies through distributors.
Funny thing is that Pelikan13 is Greek. He wont be able to release his own game in his own country thanks to Nicalis.
And this kids is why regions sucks. Europe's ratings system should unify, but I guess it's a low issue and people in Brussels have other more important things to worry about.
How does Apple get away with rating all those apps?
@Maustallica, there is currently no full European services available, so they have to launch this regionally. If only Netflix was available to every country in Europe...
At least NA has TVii, can't say the same about the rest.
These services, like the News or Weather Wii ones, add functionality cheaply and gets people to turn on their consoles more often. The more they use it, there is bigger exposure to games through WaraWara, etc.
Epic Mickey wasn't Epic at all. I've had to force myself to play it, and every time I felt queasy thanks to the camera. And let's not talk about the quests or the wasted 2D sections...

@SuntannedDuck2 Switch2's wishlist is now the fourth option from the main eShop menu, so it's clearly visible now.

@javiboy2 It has happened before as Tourtus mentions. My first experience was with PuyoPuyo Tetris
Re: Bertil Hörberg Shares Footage of His Next Game
Art style is great. The character model looks out of place though, a simplified model like Gunman Clive's works better than that detailed shaded one.

Re: A Nicalis Sale is Live on the North American 3DS and Wii U eShops
@Popful A Nicalis sale would be meaningless in PAL since Nicalis releases breadcrumbs over here. They suck at localising due to "inconsistent policies through distributors".

Re: Review: Trauma Team (Wii U eShop / Wii)

Still a VC release would be cool here in PALand!

Re: ZaciSa: Defense of the Crayon Dimension! Heading to the Wii U eShop in Europe
@Bloodix Awesome! I'm surprised how a single person like you is able to publish his games, but bigger publishers like Nicalis can't.
Good luck with the release.

Us mere mortals have to wait till next year for it.

Re: Wii U Virtual Console Games Support Wii Classic Controller And Pro Controller

Wii U's VC still doesn't give the customer the option if they want their game in the original PAL 50Hz or the original developed 60Hz.
