@Raptor78: I did the calculations just taking into account the 50 coins or 250 stars you'd get with a game. That would reward you with 400 wii points if you use these coins deal and 62.5 wii points for our star-to-points conversion.
I know people complain about everything, but service-wise this weeks American update embarks all (except the unknown 3DSware). You guys get VC, WW, DSiWare, 3DSVC...
Only 180 euros? The system is already available at 190-200 euros right now. A 1/3 reduction from 250 euros would mean 165 euros. A 1/3 from the prices available now to the lowest would be even lower, from 130-150 euros. So this is not a 1/3 reduction like in the States ($170 - 120 euros).
@James: You said this in the American counterpart of this news that, "UK getting a price drop to around £130/£150 so I've heard." Are you sure about that?
It's USK that only lets Tivola release all those learning German titles on WW and DSiW. When the world has no other games to play, we are all forced to learn German. Danke!
I can see the Saturn and Dreamcast joining the VC camp for Wii U. @Link79: If the 3DS can do it with the DSi. They'll use a similar method with the Wii U.
WOW, this time it's true, I've read the article thrice... A DEMO?
@GuardianAcorn: Motoheroz still in its release window, late June/early July.
EDIT: "Delbo: A simultaneous release in North America and Europe for Neko's shooter/puzzle hybrid, we'll bring you our verdict soon" Just noticed this. More worldwide releases please. We are a jealous bunch.
The character doesn't look as depressed as the psp one which had its head always down, maybe it's due to the colourful graphics in this sequel. I'd be depressed if I had to crush around that dark world too.
Also NL, why do you embed youtube videos in 720p? I'm always changing them to 360p.
Horrible rumour. The console looks way too bulky (can't judge scale), easy compatibility from x360 (WTF?), and for the controller... why not use the whole DS family (3/DS/Lite/i)? Imagine having a DS that could be use to stream content from the console, would show the company foresight on things. Selling the add-on as a software cartridge for the DS's and in the online shop for the rest. Now that is something I would enjoy more rather than spending more money on additional controllers. You could even use the 3DS as a way to push a cheap stereoscopic console.
Eight rumour news, six currently at the front page. I wonder if NL could have packed them all together in one and update it whenever a new one appears. But that would be a bad idea, since you would start seeing contradictions.
Red plus included? I'll have to sell a classic Wii remote soon! Interested to see what We Dance is like, from the makers of We Sing. Also Solatrorobo for the DS. But the 3DS steals the show
I'm sure 3D will be an option, just not the feature of the next console. All next gen consoles are going to be in full HD, with just a little bit more of power you got stereoscopic SBS view for those with 3DTVs, be it with glasses or sans. Come on, both the GC and the Wii have 3D features built in, just not functional.

Re: Could the Wii U Controller Do Full Body-Tracking?
EA Sport Active 2 uses body sensors and hear rate monitor, and it feels better than Wii Fit, which has been relegated as the weighing machine.
Re: Europe Gets Zelda: Skyward Sword CD and Bundle Too
PRICE? America got its price - oh wait, in Europe retail always decides Nintendo prices

Re: Nintendo Download: 11th August 2011 (Europe)
Wii owners get nothing yet again. (sigh)
Re: Nintendo Download: 4th August 2011 (Europe)
Welcome back WiiWare, I see you've lost some weight.
Nintendo not feeding you enough?
Re: FAQ: Nintendo Ambassador Program and Free eShop Games
Price drop in Europe is non-existant. Talk about 1/3 off. PFFFFT!
Re: European 3DS Price to Drop by a Third, says Nintendo

Re: Nintendo Download: 28th July 2011 (Europe)
Traurig Wii, dead during this last month. Kein VC oder WW, nicht einmal demos.
MotoHeroz, you can't come soon genug! (Tivola... I mean, Nintendo...)
Re: GameCube to See New Downloadable Life on Wii U

Re: Nintendo Download: 21st July 2011 (Europe)
WOW... Wii totally ignored.
Re: Nintendo Download: 14th July 2011 (North America)
This is no good, Netflix plus NoA is now equal to NoE in 3DSVC games
Americans will have less stuff to complain about :S
Re: Nintendo Download: 14th July 2011 (Europe)
Ich spreche Deutsch, Nintendo...
No Wii VC in ages or demo
Re: Review: ANIMA: Ark of Sinners (WiiWare)
Such a same. And to think I shared the news on this game over here in NL.
Sorry guys
Re: Rumour: Kid Icarus: Uprising to Miss 2011 in Europe
The language localizations are bull, since both Spanish and French are included in many American releases.
Re: Wii U is Technically 3D-Ready
Nintendo's Wii U is about giving options. Give 3D an option. Give third parties option of adopting 3D. Give the users the option to buy 3D TVs.
Options
Re: Nintendo Download: 7th July (Europe)
Great week. Fortified Zone and Ark of Sinners.
Now we only need to know the WW demo!
Re: Features: The Game Modes of MotoHeroz
It was supposed to come out end june/start july
Re: Ark of Sinners Scheduled for Release Next Month
She's got clothes, a mini-bra...
Game seems to be based on previous role playing universe invented by the developer.
@NL: No probs, thanks for all the news you share with us
Re: Nintendo Download: 23rd June 2011 (North America)
@Homer_Simpson: It'd be best if all regions got the same content, but it's an utopian ideal.
Re: Nintendo Download: 23rd June 2011 (North America)
PAL 3DS VC is ahead by one title! (Has this happened before?)
Re: Nintendo Download: 23rd June 2011 (Europe)
I still think it's nice to see the demo service back, even if it's an old game. I thought we lost it for good after two months of nothing.
@Gavin_Rozee: It went live on Thursday around 3pm CET. That's 2pm for you guys I think.

Re: There Will Be No Zelda 25th Anniversary Collection
I'd like to have seen an NPC version for Wind Waker.
Re: Nintendo Download: 16th June 2011 (Europe)
Jejeje, thanks NintendoLife for hiding my mistake
Like I said before, Airport Mania is great!
Re: Nintendo Download: 16th June 2011 (Europe)
Thought Successfully Learning German: Year 2 was a demo
Re: Nintendo Download: 16th June 2011 (Europe)
Look guys a demo... they are back! Edit: NVM, I misread
I'll be getting Airport Mania.
Re: Nintendo Download: 16th June 2011 (North America)
@Cipher: Thanks, this was just too confusing. A maybe for Thursday night? In the end, it will be the same as before for us.
Re: Nintendo Download: 16th June 2011 (North America)
Wasn't there an American release done last Monday? Why is it Thursday again? The titles are re-released today? What about PAL?
So much information
Re: Nintendo Download: 3rd June 2011 (Europe)
See doubters, no demo
Re: Nintendo Download: 27th May 2011 (Europe)
RIP WW demos
Re: Nintendo Download: 20th May 2011 (Europe)
What is wrong with WiiWare lately? At least FAST is here soon, but we haven't had a demo in weeks. Has Nintendo decided not to give out demos anymore?

Re: Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D's European Box Art is Simply Beautiful
I'm sorry NTSC, but PAL has won this round again. Better luck next time.
Re: Rumour: Wii 2 has Blu-ray Drive, Controller Contains a Screen
Not another old slow noisy optical media, let us use the ancient cartriges again.
If the 3DS can do it so can the Wii 2.

Re: Cave Story DSiWare Headed to European Lotcheck Soon
Delay could hurt this with the definite portable version being made.
Wii love region locking.
