Are they going to be allowed to create their own characters for this game? I feel like that was what really held Sticker Star back. It ALL just felt so insufferably been there, done that. If this goes down the same route I won't know what to do.
Got the puzzle! I thought it would have sold out by now, but it's cool that I got it for such a cheap price.
Glad I saved some coins until now so I didn't have to stick with just digital games.
For everyone mad about the price drop, just think of this as a clearance sale. Nintendo is now more motivated to sell these than they once were. Just because the price is lower now doesn't mean you're entitled to that lower price.
So excited for Shining Force GG. Apparently it's listed on Nintendo's website as coming out in the US on Thursday. That'll be a midnight purchase for me! Shining Force is one of my favorite games of all time.
@Raylax The save data is actually completely separate from the actual ROM. The save can be stored on the Wii while the game is stored on the SD card. It would be very easy to port it, as long as their new emulator handles saves in the same way.
I go to sleep at 10:00 every night because I have to wake up really early. I don't have a Wii U... or live in Europe for that matter, but what are people like me supposed to do?
I have a bad feeling I'm not going to like this game. I loved the darkness and atmosphere of Paper Mario 2, The leveling system and badges were the elements that brought me back year after year to replay it. It looks like this game has degenerated back to another sub-par RPG. If you lose me on this, Nintendo, I don't know what I'll do.
I just beat this game on the PC but I think I'll probably pick it up if the price isn't TOO steep. The developer is definitely one of my favorites (Within a Deep Forest and Knytt Stories) and I'll be glad to see it supported.
I feel like Nintendo has drifted away from this sort of behavior dramatically. I still see copies of Mario Kart DS and Super Mario Galaxy drifting around with $40 price tags, while I see copies of Halo 3 for $5. Nintendo either just doesn't understand this generation's approach to games and the people who buy them, or doesn't want to. If I want a Nintendo game. I'm paying the price they tell me to. If Nintendo goes at this in a different way now than they have in the last 25 years, I'll be surprised.
If it is played using infared, could you detach the Circle Pad Pro and do a dual player thing where one player controlled their character with that while the other used the actual DS?

Re: Review: Yoshi Touch & Go (Wii U eShop / DS)
Very underwhelming game. It was the second game I got for the DS, and probably the first game that I ever owned that I thought was bad.
I blame this game for how cynical I am now.
Re: Reminder: This is Your Last Day to Register Products on Club Nintendo
I find it somewhat fitting that the last game I registered was Drill Dozer for the GBA.
See ya, Space Cowboy.
Re: Club Nintendo to Close, With Replacement Loyalty Programme Coming Later in the Year
I'm excited for the new loyalty program. I have very high hopes that this is going to be a real account system.
But it's Nintendo...
I don't know what to think.
Re: Nintendo Download: 25th December (Europe)
Kuru Kuru Kururin is amazing. I really hope it comes to NA.
Re: Review: Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest (Wii U eShop / Super Nintendo)
You should really give some, ya know, negatives if you want to give a game a 9/10.
Re: Talking Point: It's Time for Nintendo to Drop Region Locking
If the 3DS was region free I would, without a doubt, be importing Mario and Luigi Dream Team.

Re: Video: Namco Bandai Salutes the Tales Series and its 15th Anniversary
I got a copy of Tales of Symphonia at Hastings for only 5 bucks. Pretty awesome deal. I've been meaning to give it a play pretty soon.
Re: Nintendo Download: 27th April - Virtual Console (Europe)

I didn't realize how close to the beginning of the site that I joined. I've been here for 3 1/2 years!
Re: Wii Mini Shifts 35,700 Units in Canada
@Hyperstar96 They could always add a bigger hard drive you know... a 32GB SD card only costs like 15 bucks, and that would hold everything.

Re: Retro City Rampage Still On Course For Release This Month
You snooze you lose Nintendo. I already bought the XBLA version.
Re: 18-Rated Content on Wii U eShop Only Accessible for Four Hours a Day
I go to sleep at 10:00 every night because I have to wake up really early. I don't have a Wii U... or live in Europe for that matter, but what are people like me supposed to do?
Re: You Can Use PlayStation 2 Pads On Your Wii U, Should You Want To
Does the Wii Remote give off enough power for a wireless controller to work?

Re: Dragon Quest VII Set to Venture Onto 3DS
The only Dragon Quest I don't own. I didn't really like VIII but this one will probably be amazing in 3D with updated graphics and gameplay.
Re: Movie Review: Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva
The only movie I've ever imported. Definitely worth a watch, its a great movie.
Re: Pikmin 3 Sprouting For Spring 2013 Release In North America

32MB ---> 1GB

My favorite DS game gets a reprint? Now I'll have to buy it again to complete the collection!
Re: You'll Be Able To Play Your WiiWare and Virtual Console Games On Wii U
I hope I can keep my old downloads on my Wii. If not, I'll just use the Wii U's shop for exclusives.
Re: La Mulana European Release Also Confirmed for 20th September
Darn, I played the Japanese version for nothing. Well, it was good enough to replay at least. I'd recommend it to everyone!

Look at that! I won something! Congratulations to everyone else of course.

I'll pick up Radiant Historia if I can find a copy at my local shop.

The game will be great! Nobody I know is going to get a Wii U anyway.
Re: Ubisoft Manager Says Wii U Only Supports One GamePad
Mario Party 10 is going to be cool. That's all, really.
Re: Talking Point: Why Gaming Needs E3
I feel more excited about this year's E3 since Nintendo clambered its way back up to my #1 favorite developer.
Re: NightSky Rated for North America
I just beat this game on the PC but I think I'll probably pick it up if the price isn't TOO steep. The developer is definitely one of my favorites (Within a Deep Forest and Knytt Stories) and I'll be glad to see it supported.
Re: Level-5 Trademarks Professor Layton and Miracle Mask
Oh shoot. I still haven't beat Spectres Flute.
Re: Redesigned Wii U Tablet Controller Is Revealed
Now the worst thing about the console is the name. Phew.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Should Offer Indie Game Bundles

Re: Nintendo Download: 3rd May 2012 (North America)
You forgot to mention the new Club Nintendo games folks. Not really WORTH mentioning (Urban Champion) but it's still news.
Re: Descent
I thought Interplay went bankrupt when they sold the Fallout MMO license. Hmm...
Re: Nothing Says "Marry Me" Like Swapnote
Not quite as good as the Chrono Trigger ROM Hack proposal.
Re: Pokémon Black & White Version 2 Announced
Le sigh... I wish it was a 3DS release. I'm sure it would move a lot of consoles.
Re: Welcome to the New Look Nintendo Life!
I really like it. I kind of miss the overcrowded system bar though.
Re: Push Square is Open for Business!
Oh man. I just got a PSP last week.
Re: Review: 3DS Circle Pad Pro
If it is played using infared, could you detach the Circle Pad Pro and do a dual player thing where one player controlled their character with that while the other used the actual DS?
Re: North American Resident Evil Packaging is Wrong
They really pulled a Natsume here (or should I say NATUME).
Re: Renegade Kid Launches New Mutant Mudds Site
I like how Corbie is quoted there twice.
Re: Nintendo Working On New Zelda Game
I want a 2D game. Either like Link's Adventure or Link's Awakening.
Re: Review: Cake Ninja (DSiWare)
The review's longer than the game.
Re: Talking Point: Your Nintendo Christmas Presents
Mario Kart 7 was all the Nintendo merchandise I got. I'm still playing Metroid Prime anyway.
