The normal full price that Nintendo charges for every new 3DS game in your region.

That week delay for Europe is going to be the death of me. Not only will I have to avoid watching the entire game on Youtube for a week, but I won't even have Zelda to occupy me until the 27th when my 3DS XL bundle arrives.

I've kinda forgotten about 2014 3DS titles, but I'd still rather see some Wii U love. I'm still angry at Mario Party's Europe delay for no reason.

The retail bundle is overpriced anyway. If (like me) you don't have a Balance Board, just buy one on ebay and then buy a Fit Meter to get the full game. Only cost me $70 compared to $140 for the complete package.

I've tried a few times to play online where it matches me with NOBODY. Annoyingly infuriating, especially laggy games (which are all players outside Australia.) Yet I still enjoy tennis, so I hope it gets better soon.

On Australia's eShop.

Heh, I bet that even if the world removes it from the eShop, it will still remain in Australia, ala Wii Party U. Nintendo Land is the only retail disc I have for Wii U, everything since has been digital (and that was only because it came with the system. If I had the choice it would've been digital.)

It's much cheaper to just buy a Balance Board on ebay then buy a Fit Meter, and you don't have to wait a month. That's what I did.

I wish I could unsee that comment...

Don't stress Aonuma, Majora's Mask is perfection to me

I had no idea the Wii U supported 3D! And yes, the lack of Yoshi saddens me a little.

Japanese commercials always sound funny. There's lots of new stuff in those last 2 videos too.

And this is still unavailable in Australia...

I'm sure it won't be a physical title until ALL the sports are released, so it's a fair way off yet. At least with digital you can pick which sports you want, instead of being forced to pay full price for all of them.

Could've done without the gold flakes, and I don't like the two tone effect, it looks weirdly red on the bottom. Still an impressive job, I love gold products! Which is why I can't wait for my Zelda 3DS XL. I also love how colourful the N64 was, there were so many cool varieties (even an official gold one.)

Why 2014? damn region lock means no importing either.

Well, if you really want a free trial to sell consoles Nintendo, then you have to advertise. There's no way around it. Only people with a Wii U can see Wii Fit U right now. The masses won't be aware of something they don't know exists. And seeing how fitness fads have never gone away, this could sell more units.

I dislike Hero Mode in general, since Master Quest was way better than having more damage, but I hate it even more when it's only available after you finish the game. When I beat a game, I'm not compelled to instantly play through it again (not for years sometimes) and it should just be there from the start. WWHD did that right.

I watched the new trailer on youtube, looks great! Also, the music trailer shows a certain Majora's Mask in it... stop being such teases Nintendo!

Seeing as the entire PAL region has only accounted for less than 10,000 units in half a year, I shudder to think what Australia contributed to that total. Not getting the Zelda bundle OR the price drop hasn't helped the Wii U's situation here either. A SM3DW bundle with a price drop might have an impact though.

I'm looking forward to tennis, bowling and possibly golf. Good to hear I don't need to do anything as well!

There's no excuse for how Nintendo has treated the Wii U VC since its arrival. I never expected them to go backwards to the very beginning but still be doing it worse than the Wii! I mean it took 6 long years for the Wii VC to get where it is now and I expected the Wii U VC to carry on where it left off. Why are there still no N64 games on the eShop? Those are the only ones I'm waiting for really, since we were only delivered about 20 over 6 years. Please don't do this to me again Nintendo. I was once very excited about the Wii U VC's arrival but I've all but given up on it now. GameCube games are sounding like a pipe-dream now.

It sucks it's not included in the 3DS XL bundle, I'm totally getting that and I'm glad it includes a download code, but I don't want to buy a physical copy to get the chest.

It's coming to Australia exclusive to EB Games so something must be afoot.

I bought Y simply because it's the equivalent of Red.

After sinking 35 hours into Wind Waker HD this week (with a lot of sidequesting) I've just defeated Ganon, so I'll probably take a break. Good thing I'm on holidays! It also leaves an opening for a certain Pokemon Y I've just downloaded.

Downloading it now!

Ordered mine from Nintendo Australia yesterday and it's actually cheaper here! (Only $35)

Im gonna buy one of these, since I have two rechargeable AAs (but lost the other 2) and only 2 remotes ever get used at once. I've tried 3rd party solutions and they all sucked. BTW Nintendo Australia is selling both these and the gamepad battery directly, just ring up customer service to order them. These are $45 and $30 for extra battery packs. The gamepad battery is $35. Shipping is free.

I'm disappointed. I love some Mario Party and the only 3DS game I'll be picking up for the remainder of 2013 is A Link Between Worlds so another game would've been nice. Just adds to the ever growing pile of games for 2014. Bring on the Wii U games!

I'm a sucker for special edition controllers (they certainly become valuable on ebay) but I've already got 4 remotes. An original white, a black, red and Zelda gold remote plus (with matching nunchuks.) Maybe these can replace the white and black remotes...

@SideScreamer
Of course it all makes sense now! I was really confused during the direct thinking "Wait haven't I seen this in shops before?" Wonder how it got a year delay when a PAL release already existed.

I don't mind really, I'd much rather have DKC delayed than 3D World. I haven't got the required amount of hype for it yet and there's so much lined up for 2013.

Tried out off TV Wii play today and it's great! Plug in a classic controller and you're all set for off TV VC games too (which they've fixed the aspect ratios.) Lots of nifty small features added too. The browser is much better, eShop has a new song, Miiverse has a cool loading screen, eShop has a little minigame on the loading screen. Can't say I've noticed faster load times though, which were promised.

This has to be about the rumoured update. I'd also love to see some Mario Party, 3D World, DKC and Zelda.

Wind Waker HD! Can't wait. Also, 3 games for WiiU VC in one week? That's gotta be the most we've had for a long time. Keep it up please Nintendo.

@SuperSNESLiam
I was just about to post that... damn you beat me!

I've long since given up all hope of an update when there's some downtime. BTW I thought that the Wii U update was scheduled for September or did it become early October? That would be the only reason this speculation has some truth.

@Genesaur
I'm glad I'm not the only one who picked up on the lack of logic in that statement...

Well, it was only a NA date, so it doesn't bother me. Knowing them they'll get an early download like with WWHD anyway.

Yes! I'm so happy my main from Brawl is back! Didn't expect him to make it.

(You guys are such tri-hards for using the same tagline twice)

8GB? No biggie. I'm never going to run into storage problems on my 2TB hard drive. Although I'm fast running out of space on my 3DS 16GB SD card and this might kill it. Not sure if I want the 3DS version yet though!

Thanks for rubbing it in my face Nintendo. Next time try releasing your bundles in Australia.

I'm sad that these talented people don't sell their creations, their awesomeness just taunts me forever!

Might update Super Mario Bros.

I'm still annoyed that Nintendo Australia can't be bothered releasing the limited edition Wind Waker game and console bundles, yet the Pokemon X/Y 3DS XL's were confirmed instantly. They do their best to encourage importing and further Australia's dismal Wii U sales.

I'm not interested in X/Y at all, but if you seriously think $5 a YEAR is too expensive, one would wonder how you even afforded a 3DS and the game (let alone any costs of living.)

It's all about Rayman Legends this weekend! It's still just as amazing as it was when I played the demo and challenge app.

I do love me some Twilight Princess! I'd put it in my top 3.
1. Majora's Mask
2. Wind Waker
3. Twilight Princess
I'd give all these 10/10, plus Ocarina of Time. It's all just a matter of which ones had more impact on me. I'm not really into 2D Zelda's that much, but I do enjoy most of the handheld games (ST, PH, MC, Oracles.) For some reason, I'm unable to enjoy Skyward Sword at all, and lost the motivation to finish it.

I love that Ganondorf figurine, but I don't want to import it, so instead I will be downloading it (with a UK download code so I can get it cheaper and Nintendo Australia doesn't get my money.) Maybe I will see the figurine on ebay...

Voted None of the above as no Wii U price cut for Australia.

Oh and guess what? The special edition AND the Wii U bundle aren't releasing in Australia. Typical.
