I'll get the Wii U version physical, and I'll consider getting the 3DS version digitally, just for the sake of having a Sonic game stored on my system digitally.
Truly disappointing. Why would Game Freak make a game for 3DS where the majority of the game isn't 3D? It makes no sense! They say they want to make this game as beautiful graphically as possible? Then give the over world 3D depth! Experiencing a Pokémon overworld in 3D would've been a selling point for this game! I bet they're just doing this so X & Y will look better on 2DS. Blaugh.
No Super Mario Bros. 3? Wow, what a shame. Well, I suppose I'll hold out this week. Maybe SMB3 will come next week. Other than that, I guess this week isn't half-bad. SMB3 would've made it amazing though.
@Fast_45er Here's what I think. I think it's ready, but Nintendo is just deciding not to release it yet. It obviously wouldn't take this long, especially since Japan got SMB3 on 3DS e-Shop on New Year's Day.
I already own Little Acorns on my i-Pod Touch. Little Acorns Turbo may have the extra "Turbo" levels, but the iOS version is only $.99. So, I'l pass. Wonderful 101 is a maybe, but I don't wantto get it right away. And Temco Bowl? Thanks, but no thanks. Where's Super Mario Bros. 3 already? Hopefully Nintendo will announce that at the forthcoming Nintendo Direct, as well as Miiverse 3DS, Flipnote 3D, and a release date for the Sega 3D Classics.
@PerezBro99 Perhaps they'll discontinue the DS line and revive the Game Boy line with an HD Gameboy with one main screen that serves as a touch screen. It could be called: the Game Boy Unlimited! Nah... chances are we'll get a Nintendo HDS like you said.
Well obviously the 3DS is selling well, and is one of the best handhelds of all-time, so it does make sense truly. On a handheld gaming device, you find a gaming experience that can't be captured on any smartphone or tablet out there. That's what handheld gaming platforms are for. And honestly, what does this guy know about saving a console brand? I don't see Atari making consoles anymore.
@slangman You think this game aged badly? This still remains one of the best platformers around! Plus, bad music? This game had one of the most memorable soundtracks of all time! And bad level design? Sure, this game wasn't fast compared to the later installments, but this game had lots of precision platforming and memorable moments. Overall, this game has aged very well.
This is ridiculous. Gamestop has gone off the deep end. They need to go. Gamestop will have to come to an end at some point. Especially since the majority people order their games online, digitally, or at non-gaming stores nowadays. Gamestop, stop the insanity.
@Windy You sir, have completely read my mind. Nintendo should be releasing VC games WAY faster than this. I mean, seriously. It took them over 2 years to put Kirby's Dream Land 2 on the North American 3DS e-Shop since making its predecessor available on e-Shop. Seriously, Nintendo? It should not take THAT long at all. Super Mario Bros. 3, Wario Land 3, and 3D Sonic the Hedgehog better hit the 3DS e-Shop soon.
It's about time! Seriously, does it honestly take 14 months to bring a Game Boy port overseas? Oh well, I'm buying it. I held out on Kirby's Dream Land 1 just for this.
@The_Joker I think Nintendo should stop focusing on adding some new gimmick per console and focus on making a system with a strong lineup of games (first and third party) and power that'll compete with Sony and Microsoft's consoles after PS4 and Xbox One. However, I'm content with the Wii U right now.
@CAM290 ...for an SNES cartridge. An actual SNES cartridge is worth much more than a digital version of an SNES cartridge. Nintendo's Virtual Console titles are a bit overpriced. The same can be said for almost everything on the e-Shop. Compared to the prices of games on other digital services, Nintendo's digital products' prices seem like a rip-off. Nintendo is the dominant gaming company (in my eyes), no doubt, but even they have their flaws.
Back to the main point, of course an SNES cartridge is worth more than a digital copy. That's why digital Earthbound should be lowered to $8 because digital 16-bit titles being $10 seems like a rip-off compared to other digital services.
@Daggo 1. I don't know, but I honestly preferred it when I was unpopular on YouTube because I didn't get made fun of nearly as much. 2. Well, I'm 14. Yes, I know I look younger, but everyone is different, okay? And I know I have a high voice. I can't help that. Plus I have a life-long curse known as autism which as affected me socially in school especially. 3. I ask that myself. The trolls on YouTube often upset me. Luckily I have friends in my life that cheer me up and my opinions are mine, and no one can change that, right? 4. I'm 14, and I'm just speaking my opinions!
That's me. Well, I really don't know why people freak out about my videos on the internet everywhere. I'm just saying my opinions, and people are saying "OMG this kid is so hilarious!" "Yo guys check out this funny kid..." "This kid is such a Nintendo and Sonic fanboy!" And so on and so on. It's very annoying. I hope this post doesn't affect what you guys think of me on Nintendo Life, because if so, this is just another place that I'll get picked on.
@koopakid I'm sure they will have a lot to deliver in later years. I predict a new IP (well this is actually confirmed), a new Kirby title for Wii U, a new 3D Legend of Zelda game, another 3D Mario for Wii U, Animal Crossing for Wii U, PilotWings for Wii U, a new Metroid game, possibly a new Star Fox game, a new Paper Mario game, Mario sports games for Wii U, a new Fire Emblem game, Mario Party U, Pokémon Wii U games, and possibly sequels to Mii games (Wii Sports U, Wii Music U, Wii Play U, and possibly a Nintendo Land sequel).
...and why wouldn't he be? The Wii U has some stellar titles coming out for it. Super Mario 3D World, Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD, Donkey Kong Country: tropical Freeze, Mario Kart 8, Super Smash Bros. 4, new IP, Sonic Lost World, Wonderful 101, Yarn Yoshi, and Pikmin 3 all look amazing.
Honestly, Nintendo is saying that about every game. LAZINESS. Nintendo, get off of your lazy @#* and make DLC for your games! (Not just Mario! We don't only want Mario DLC!) It's your job as a video game company to improve and add on to your games to improve the experience! And you guys better make DLC for Super Smash Bros. on Wii U and 3DS you lazy bums!
Am I the only one who thinks this is good news? This is good news for three reasons: 1. So we'll have a Sonic game to look forward to in 2014. 2. So the Nintendo-Sonic deal can last a little longer. 3. We don't need any more rushed Sonic games...
Love, I'll be away in Florida for vacation. Oh well, maybe I'll be able to find a Best Buy location there and see the E3 announcements through a mobile device.

Re: Nintendo Download: 26th September (North America)
Yet another disappointing week, with no SMB3 to tell us otherwise.
Re: Sonic Lost World Will Dash Away With Plenty of Memory on Wii U and 3DS
I'll get the Wii U version physical, and I'll consider getting the 3DS version digitally, just for the sake of having a Sonic game stored on my system digitally.
Re: New Sonic Lost World Trailer Reveals A Slight Delay to North American Release
@MadAdam81 Mine too!
Re: Nintendo Download: 26th September (Europe)
Such a disappointing week for Europeans. Hopefully NA gets better VC treatment (SMB3 please).
Re: FIFA 14 on 3DS is Officially Just a Kit and Roster Update
This is pathetic. No one should waste this much cash on the same old bull crap. I'm never buying this.
Re: Doodle Jump Adventures Is Getting Physical In Europe
This actually isn't a bad idea. The "adventure mode" caught my attention. I may buy this if released in US.
Re: Junichi Masuda Confirms That the Pokémon X & Y Overworld is 2D Only
Truly disappointing. Why would Game Freak make a game for 3DS where the majority of the game isn't 3D? It makes no sense! They say they want to make this game as beautiful graphically as possible?

Re: Cut the Rope Slices Its Way Onto the North American eShop
Not paying $9.99. If they price cut it to $4.99 then I may consider it, but I already have the game on my iPod Touch.
Re: Nintendo Download: 19th September (North America)
No Super Mario Bros. 3? Wow, what a shame. Well, I suppose I'll hold out this week. Maybe SMB3 will come next week. Other than that, I guess this week isn't half-bad. SMB3 would've made it amazing though.
Re: Rumour: Wii U New Super Mario Bros. and New Super Luigi U Hardware Bundle Sighted
Both bundles make sense, especially the New Super Mario Bros. U + Luigi U one.
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Seventeen
Mario & Luigi Dream, Pikmin 3, and Mario and Donkey Kong: Minis on the Move for me.
Re: Nintendo Download: 12th September (North America)
@Fast_45er Here's what I think. I think it's ready, but Nintendo is just deciding not to release it yet. It obviously wouldn't take this long, especially since Japan got SMB3 on 3DS e-Shop on New Year's Day.

Re: Feature: A Week of Super Smash Bros. Wii U and 3DS Screens - Issue Three
@shinokami He said no mode like Subspace Emissary-styled adventure mode. He said nothing about a Melee-styled Adventure mode.
Re: Feature: A Week of Super Smash Bros. Wii U and 3DS Screens - Issue Three
Guys, I think that pic of Mega Man watching Wii Fit Trainer run is a cutscene for Adventure Mode!
Re: Rumour: Nintendo Renaming The 3DS Page On Facebook
@SanderEvers And the ability to serve lemonade.
Re: Rumour: Nintendo Renaming The 3DS Page On Facebook
@PerezBro99 Perhaps they'll discontinue the DS line and revive the Game Boy line with an HD Gameboy with one main screen that serves as a touch screen. It could be called: the Game Boy Unlimited!
Nah... chances are we'll get a Nintendo HDS like you said.
Re: Rumour: Nintendo Renaming The 3DS Page On Facebook
Makes sense with the Nintendo 2DS coming out currently, as well as the Nintendo 3DS XL and the Nintendo DSi.
Re: Atari Founder Nolan Bushnell Claims Nintendo "Could Be On The Path To Irrelevance"
Well obviously the 3DS is selling well, and is one of the best handhelds of all-time, so it does make sense truly.

Re: Nintendo Confirms Miiverse for 3DS "Soon", Smartphone Apps for Network Also Coming
Can't wait for this.
Re: Review: Sonic the Hedgehog (Virtual Console / Sega Mega Drive)
@slangman You think this game aged badly? This still remains one of the best platformers around! Plus, bad music? This game had one of the most memorable soundtracks of all time! And bad level design? Sure, this game wasn't fast compared to the later installments, but this game had lots of precision platforming and memorable moments. Overall, this game has aged very well.
Re: 3D Sonic The Hedgehog
Well, it's been almost 2 months since this was announced for NA and EU eShop. When will this come out already?
Re: Nintendo Confirms Plenty of Wii U and 3DS Shenanigans at PAX Prime
Did I see Shantae and the Pirate's Curse? This is HUGE! No one has even seen footage of that game yet... I can't wait!
Re: Nintendo Confirms Plenty of Wii U and 3DS Shenanigans at PAX Prime
Will there be new trailers? There hasn't been any trailers for SM3DW, DKCTF, MK8, or SSB4 since their announcements.
Re: Video: Sonic Lost World Trailer Shows Off Multiplayer and Miiverse Sharing
This game is looking better and better.
Re: 3D Sonic The Hedgehog
@rudyseidl I'm pretty sure it'll be nothing like Sonic Genesis for GBA.
Re: Soapbox: 'Vintage' Used Game Prices Do Nothing to Encourage Customer Loyalty
This is ridiculous. Gamestop has gone off the deep end. They need to go. Gamestop will have to come to an end at some point. Especially since the majority people order their games online, digitally, or at non-gaming stores nowadays. Gamestop, stop the insanity.
Re: Video: This Super Metroid Animation is Rather Impressive
Impressive animation is impressive
Re: Out Now: Mario & Luigi: Dream Team Awakens in North America
I'll have to get this game at a later date. I just spent my money on Pikmin 3!
Re: DuckTales: Remastered (Wii U eShop) - Direct Feed Footage
This game looks great!
Re: Review: The Smurfs 2 (Wii U)
4 out of 10? For a movie-based game? Why am I not surprised. -_-
Re: Weirdness: This First-Person Sonic the Hedgehog Video is Rather Impressive
Sonic Ride, anyone?
Re: Weirdness: Hackers Use NES Pad To Drive Car
Best way to drive a car EVER.

Re: Nintendo Direct Mini Reveals SEGA 3D Classics on the Way to Europe
@Knuckles Yo man, don't worry. Sega said they are bringing these titles to US too. Nintendo Life needs to update the article.
Re: Video: New Nintendo Direct Mini Broadcasts Released
$10 for an SNES title? RIP-OFF.

Re: Shigeru Miyamoto Optimistic About The Future of Wii U

2. So the Nintendo-Sonic deal can last a little longer.
