Had 600 points on my Wii. Makes it feel like it's free!

As the prices are similar to ShopTo I'll get them from GAME, but there's no mention of this on their website.

1500 points. Some kind of joke?

I hope that's not final hardware. Would be a good idea to have another battery in it.

F Zero

@James But if it's not coming to Europe, we still have Xenoblade Chronicles

The game has subtitles.

One thing I'm finding annoying is the party guage. It hardly ever activated a chain during regular fights but as soon as a bigger enemy comes along, it fills up rapidly. Very few other complaints about the game though.

@kdognumba1 and now we play the game

The English voices aren't great but I think it's because of the usual thing that makes game voice acting suffer. The lines sound like they're read with no regard for what's been said before, so they just sound like individual statements rather than a flowing dialogue. A bit like the commentary in old FIFA and PES games e.g "Beckam... pases to... Ferdinand... Lines up a shot... Goal."

Better than MH, which I thought was dull as dishwater.

What a game this is.

Is this out on the Wii VC?

Crap news.

Nothing wrong with that voice acting.

I went game shopping this morning and the 3DS section was uninspiring at best. Still the same old games on the shelves.

I am an ambassador for this article!

@Oddy A scheme in British English is kinda like a programme or a course or something that follows a plan. And it can also be a dastardly plot

Looks a bit basic. Think I'll give that one a miss.

The rest of the world should behave in this way, even if it's only a gesture.

Nowhere to be seen on European eShop.

Where is portable shrine wars on the shop???

@turtlelink in 3DD!!

Will this be allowed to go on sale worldwide? I think Marvelous has made a serious boob.

PRE-ORDER GET!

Xevious is far too expensive.

Has the game been particularly well received so far? I can't say it blows me away.

I know it shouldn't matter if the game plays well, but those graphics look terrible.

What an irrational decision.

This can't come to Europe quick enough for me. In fact, I'd trade The Last Story, Pandora's Tower and Xenoblade just to play this game.

I hope it isn't seen as a big DS by the third parties. The huge gap between the screens is an immediate difference that could throw up problems if the system is approached like a DS.

Does anyone else think he has a really untrustworthy face?

There's no way to mix phones and gaming on the same device and have something that works well for both uses. It's impossible.

Swizzle sticks? I call them nubjules.

I'd love aMirror's Edge sequel on Wii U. If the game was more of an open world, the controller screen could be like a satnav or something.

An already gaping wound receives some salt.

Great idea.

@Ryno It does seem a better fit for the Wii.

I see this as an advertisment, nothing more.

But look at it this way: Nintendo shakes things up with the Wii and both Microsoft and Sony can't get similar devices out fast enough. Now not long after both devices have been out, Nintendo yet again do something different which the compititors might have to copy. Sony could get away with using Vita as a similar controller to Wii U's, but what could Microsoft do?

If he really didn't know of the Wii U's major features until E3 could that mean either the next Mario game won't make much use of them or will be a long way off being released?

It would be funny if he's the office blabbermouth or something!

Iwata to Shigsy: "Whatever you do, don't tell Koizumi. You know what he's like after a couple of drinks!"

That is, if the cost of translating is an issue.

I find it quite odd that games released in Europe with many languages can't get a US release. Also, when games are released in the US, it's equally odd that they're not released in the UK and Australia at least, where English is spoken.

Perhaps they're going to release HD versions with Wii U next year.

I'll go to the shops for this but I seriously doubt it will be there.

Welcome to what it's like to be European.

Wishlisted.

At least there's not another Adventure Island game!!

@7 With the controller having a screen it would be nice if a DVD could be streamed to it the same way as a game. But I have six DVD playing devices and a ps3 for blu ray, so the disappointment over this is becoming increasingly invalid. If you want a DVD player you can get one for £20. Blu ray players are down to about £60 now.

How many more things do we want these devices to do? I just want a games machine.

Seems to make sense that a console dubbed "we/you" is connected in every possible way and offers social interaction.
