@RupeeClock The most expensive item they've ever had if I recall correctly was the Giratina DS lite for 30,000 stars.

I played this on Wednesday, Rosalina is a really fun addition, Mirror Mode adds variety, and the drifting is just soooo much better than it was before.

This game has no chance of being Pokémon-level successful, the simple fact is that the era of children who would have interest in that style of game/anime is long gone. It will still likely be popular among certain groups of children, but the fact is COD/Halo/Battlefield and mobile games are more popular among children nowadays.

So... What you're saying is they might do the same thing they did back in the early 2000's with the e-reader cards but this time with NFC instead of barcodes and a fancy name?

Roy you say? Never mind salt I'll get my ph1r3 ready so I can be skilled enough to beat any Fox in the world with our boy Roy!... I am so, so sorry for that, on a more serious note Ryu likely won't be included as if I recall correctly Sakurai said that there would only be one character per 3rd party.

It makes me sad to see people complaining about indie characters appearing at all in Smash.. Not because I want any of THESE characters in (to be honest out of these 3 Shovel Knight is the only one with a minuscule chance, which is negligible considering the lack of a Japanese release.), it's the fact that Shantae is technically indie yet she would be a great fit for the roster. (Takamaru still got my vote instead, the poor guy's been considered for every Smash game other than the original)

Got Dark Pit and Palutena preordered, gonna wait for the official store/ for Greninja and Jigglypuff

@DESS-M-8 they don't force you to buy digital, that's your own decision

I voted Pulseman, just me?... Okay...

I'm unbelievably happy about the return of Lucas and Mewtwo, personally, I used my vote in the ballot for Pulseman.

As much as I enjoy Rumble, Ranger didn't even get a gen 5 entry and Mystery Dungeon doesn't have a gen 6 entry yet, and those should be much higher priorities than Rumble.

I just looove the way that people feel we need a female Link yet if we got a male Samus there would be utter outrage, their genders don't play a huge role in their stories, so can somebody PLEASE explain what difference there is between the two?

Iwata, why must you scare us?

I would've absolutely loved it if he was in Smash, same goes for Gallade

Okay, I think it's great for business that Nintendo are branching out into mobile platforms/ QOL, I don't like it though, part of me wants this to succeed, so, y'know, Nintendo can do well.... But, another part of me realises that, talking realistically, if this ends up really successful, they may slowly begin to move away from dedicated gaming platforms, despite what they say, I could only ever really see another 1 or 2 console generations before it all crumbles to the ground due to mobile gaming, but to me this feels like it will speed up the process.

Now, I will concede that they are handling this remarkably well and they do seem to know what they are doing with this, as they are partnering with a company who seem to know what they're doing rather than just going alone, which would almost guarantee a train wreck, and I imagine this will go down well with the majority of Nintendo fans, but not for me personally.

To be honest I very rarely go in Game anymore, they have a terrible amount of space devoted to Nintendo games/Hardware and when I do manage to find something good, well... They use eShop prices. In terms of Nintendo games, and games in general, CeX will usually have a much better selection at (usually) fair prices and have stock from the XBOX/PS2/GCN era of consoles, unlike Game.

Nintendo has NO responsibility to stop this from reaching market, while not something I would buy, it's up to the individual/ The individual's legal guardian, and it apparently has some really fun beat 'em up gameplay.

Just watch them announce it for PS2 and Dreamcast, "we don't want to leave out people who haven't bought a console in a decade".

Uuuuuuummnn... No, their reasoning is the worst part about it, a poster? A poster? facepalm no...

@KoiKazma I believe that Vita game is Monster Monpiece

@RupeeClock. This was also my first thought, but alas, Pulsenan is sleeping with the Captain Falcons and Samurai Gorohs once again...

As much as I would want to buy this, it's Dragon Quest, chances are we'll never see it in Eurooe. stares longingly at the DQ7 remake, Dragon Quest Heroes and DQ10

@TomServo_89 Thanks for the info.

OH MY GOSH YES! Gen 4 was easily my favourite generation and that Cynthia battle was reeeaaaly difficult for me when I first played it, so this brings back lots of memories. Do Pokevault ship to the UK/Ireland?

It pains me to see that SM64 is out-doing F-Zero X in the polls. There is (arguably of course) very little logic in remaking it, first of all, SM64 DS, despite it's faults, can still be found easily and works on the 3DS, so from Nintendo's perspective there would be little reasoning in remaking it again.

F-Zero X on the other hand, as mentioned in the article, could test the waters for a new F-Zero game, and it would provide a unique experience on 3DS. Even if it was download only it would be a new installnent in a series which has lay dormant for about 10 years, in that time, a new audience may well have appeared.

I think we can all agree that this will be the best wii game of 2015.

@ShanaUnite They are expecting children to shell out €48, because a lot of children wouldn't know any better. And I find it quite manipulative that they would do that.

@C-Olimar Woops, sorry about that, but I still feel that it is tainting the Pokémon brand, and Nintendo overall. As if this turns out to be a success they might see it as a viable business model (which, to be honest, it really is, although it just feels like... I dunno, exploitative.) They know children will download this, and they know that children will pay a lot of money to keep playing... At this point I really don't like the way the industry is going in general.

@sillygostly Oh, sorry about that, in that case it seems like an unfair move to not give us a paid version.

@sillygostly It seems to basically be Free2Play Pokémon Link Battle, which is (I believe) under £8 on the 3DS eShop, so I'd advise that personally.

I hope nobody downloads this solely because I and many others don't want to see Nintendo go down the route of "MICROTRANSACTIONS, GET YA MICROTRANSACTIONS HERE! JUST $1 FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES OF GAMEPLAY! FUN FUN FUN!"... And especially GameFreak, who, might I add, COULD most likely be putting the effort it took to develop this into the development of a new download-only Pulseman for 3DS.... But what do I know? I'm just some NintendoLife commenter. (...And a massive fan of Pulseman)

What do you do if you didn't get the e-mail but have the console?

The thing that hurts most about this is that Chillin has been playing Fox for, I believe about a decade (correct me if I'm wrong). Yet now, he's in a situation where, unless someone else plays to get Chillin vanilla Fox back, he'll never be able to reclaim 'his colour'.

Hoping for Leffen vs Mang0 tonight, really want to see Leffen get crushed after that Chillin 5-0

Just found out Isai won't be competing in Smash 64.... Well, if he's not at the tournament he can't get hit!

-Insert lazy joke about Capcom here-

Okay, who let the Charizard main in?

That tagline is brilliant...

I'm not sure that the author of the article realised he had a great chance to add in a Farfetch'd pun

Can only imagine a steampunk Ike. And it's gonna be weird hearing Marth speak English

Didn't PEGI stop using that rating sign (the black and white one) in 2009?

I quite liked that Everhet was able to combo with ZSS...

Them's fighting words round these parts.

And you can be sure that one of the 15 nationwide stores won't be in NI

Ugh, no NI, apparently we don't exist. Just like the Pokémon tournament they had earlier this year...
Wait, not even Wales is getting it? Now that's just unfair.

No ridley.

In terms of reviews if the reviewers don't like the Wii U version then it doesn't matter to most people how good or bad this one is , it will most likely be 'Sonic Team needs to stop making Sonic games for a few years.'
Although the lack of Amy is dissapointing to say the least but it looks fun regardless

To all the people in the U.S.A annoyed about this being EU only, just remember, you have Shovel Knight

hey, at least 3DS users get the new monster hunter game.

Part of the reasom I got the premium version was for the DLC, ah well
