Ugh god, we need a new Pokémon Pinball instead if you ask me... Don't get me wrong, I really liked the Telltale game, but this seems like a bit of a stretch...
While the idea is very nice, Nintendo giving lots of love to people like this, I fringe upon seeing the need of two usb ports for a peripheral. My external usb drive also needed the extra port. They just could have made the USB output current a bit higher so this wouldn't be necessary... Now if I want this GameCube hub-thingey, there is no room for the Disney Infinity base at all (unless I maybe use usb hubs that are externally powered, but that defeats the purpose I guess). But heck what does it even matter, because I'll be too busy using Mario Kart or the upcoming NFP to bother about silly old Disney Infinity anyway.
Oh dear, this discussion... Better run away while I can, regardless of what my opinion is. I'm gonna buy the game anyway, like I always do as a gaming fan, which is what this website is about I believe?
You know, you can just buy these on eBay as they have been in several places in Europe already. That would also save you the trouble of having atherosclerosis.
@ReshiramZekrom
I know right? I had that device at home back in the day. The music in the games was not that bad, but overall the games were rather basic if I remember correctly.
My god, I haven't got enough stars (yes, they are stars in Europe) because I bought that Year of Luigi Coin... I need that statue, any ideas to solve this? I wish one could just buy stars... I mean, I have enough money for it in real life anyway... Maybe I have to look on eBay afterwards or something.
@Jollykarp Yes exactly. I had the same feeling. I personally find it disgusting. For instance, I found a Wii Classic Controller that someone else had been using. The left analog stick was so greasy. I just had to clean it with white spirit to get it off. Yuk...
Anyway..., I think it's good that they are capable of putting out these updates on the 3DS system. I remember that people had to submit their GBA games to Nintendo to fix the problem where berries were not growing anymore. I am also happy about the fact that Gamefreak pays attention to cheating and everything, I think it ruins the Pokémon experience for others. I really hope they encrypt the crap out of Pokémon data entries.
@rafaelluik Yes, something like that is awesome! (Too bad the width of the resolution is still limited to 1920, but a tiny stretch isn't going to harm it that much)
@GN004Nadleeh I don't know whether that's the case. If you talk about pixels, then yes. But if you look at materials etc., I can imagine that they need less to create this larger screen than two screens. It's cheaper for a reason.
Finally, some Pokémon wallpapers that are suitable for my screen resolution (2560x1440)... It's a shame I don't like these: I don't like wallpapers that have texts on them.
By the way, I did take a good look at it. They do state the UPC code with it and they also have the New Super Mario Bros. U + New Luigi U bundle on there which was discussed on here as well ( Rumour: Wii U New Super Mario Bros and New Super Luigi U hardware bundle sighted ) so all in all it does seem very legitimate. I wonder what kinds of bundles November will bring...
@Shiryu My thoughts exactly. It works only when a game does not apply randomness. Even then you may cope with synchronization problems. This would only work if the video of one of the consoles is also transmitted for display on the external tv. Other than the technological part of this, for myself it would not be really interesting.
Exactly that. My money is ready for a white premium version. It is the ONLY reason I did not buy a Wii U yet. So yeah, if they do release it, then it is an instant buy for me.

Re: Nintendo Download: 19th June (Europe)
For a minute I thought they released a Wii U version of Monkey Island.
Re: Nintendo of Europe Adds Yoshi Backpack to Club Nintendo Websites
I still regret not getting that Luigi's Mansion Diorama on time... I'm not a fan of this item...

Re: Treasure Your 3DS Game Saves Forever With This Handy Accessory
Nintendo desperately needs cloud storage of save games...
Meanwhile I'm wondering how this device even works... It's a shame it may lead to even more bogus Pokémon on the PSS.

Re: Kirby: Triple Deluxe Drops Outside UK Top 20 But Survives Another Week
An awesome game it is. I enjoyed Kirby: Triple Deluxe more than Yoshi's New Island to be honest...
Re: The Wii U Version Of Super Smash Bros. Will Utilise The NFC Nintendo Figurine Platform
I'm sure Mr. Bole will get yelled at for talking out of turn...
Re: This Pokémon Trainer Red Nendoroid is Ludicrously Cute
Where can you even pre-order this? I can't really find it on the online shop of Good Smile.
Re: Mario Kart 8 Free Wii U Game Promotion Extended to Scandinavian Countries
Ah yes, scandinavian countries...
Hmmm, the scent of IKEA furniture in the morning....
Aside from that, I think it's very decent of Nintendo to consider those areas as well.
Re: Play: Mario Golf: World Tour in the NLife Masters
Meanwhile I'm playing Mario Tennis Open, lol...
Re: Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Footage Revealed
@Silent Meanwhile I had a blast, haha
Re: Nintendo Announces a Charming New Princess Peach Wii Remote Plus
I need that in my collection. I already have the other two.

Re: Nintendo Is Working On The Next Mario Game, But Can't Reveal If It's Coming To 3DS Or Wii U
My thought: the game will be released on both at the same time, like Super Smash Bros (give or take a season)
Based on pure speculation of course.

Re: This Amazing Luigi's Mansion 2 Diorama Is Now Available From Club Nintendo Australia
@Gladius_X Indeed, same as I was thinking. Goodness, I have almost 5000 stars, but not the 7000....
I hated myself for missing it in the first place, now I get a second chance and I still don't have enough.... I'm gonna order several games then.
It just hit me, Luigi handles a "Poltergust 5000", so 5000 stars makes more than perfect sense. I smell conspiracies...
Re: Feature: A Week of Super Smash Bros. Wii U and 3DS Screens - Issue Twenty Five
@LavaTwilight What's wrong with being fruity though? I also chose that one.

This... is... hilarious....
Re: This Year of Luigi Diorama Brings a Dark Moon to Club Nintendo
My god, I haven't got enough stars (yes, they are stars in Europe) because I bought that Year of Luigi Coin...
I need that statue, any ideas to solve this? I wish one could just buy stars... I mean, I have enough money for it in real life anyway... Maybe I have to look on eBay afterwards or something.

Re: New eBook Will Analyse Wario Land 4 In Nearly 600 Exhaustive Pages
As a media interaction student I am heavily interested in this. As a gamer I am even more interested.

Re: Weirdness: This Real-Life Version Of Mario Kart Looks Extreme
Am I the only one who thinks the environment is beautiful? I feel it's being wrecked by the karts though...
Maybe I am an elderly person deep down inside after all...
Re: Pokémon X & Pokémon Y: Super Music Collection Now Available on iTunes
My god, €9 for 212 tracks... Including Pokémon Origins tracks ... =O
Re: Custom-made Luigi 2DS Now Up For Auction
@FishieFish Haha, very sharp!
As for the device, I like the visuals, but I have the feeling it's going to cost a lot...
Re: Nintendo Financial Reports Bring Minor Profit, 3DS Success and More Wii U Struggles
Well, I preordered the Wii Party U bundle pack, so there's that...
Re: Shigeru Miyamoto Doesn't Rule Out Additional HD Remakes and a Return to the Mario Galaxy Series
@Warruz I have never played that, so it would be nice to get a remake of it as I definitely like the 3D Mario games.

@rafaelluik Yes, something like that is awesome! (Too bad the width of the resolution is still limited to 1920, but a tiny stretch isn't going to harm it that much)

@GN004Nadleeh I don't know whether that's the case. If you talk about pixels, then yes. But if you look at materials etc., I can imagine that they need less to create this larger screen than two screens. It's cheaper for a reason.

Re: Here Are More Gorgeous Super Mario 3D World Screens to Enjoy
@Savino If you look closely it seems he is wet. There are some distortions in the screen that suggest this as well.

Yes, exactly, same here...

Re: Online Multiplayer Comes To The Super Nintendo Thanks To SNESoIP

This would only work if the video of one of the consoles is also transmitted for display on the external tv. Other than the technological part of this, for myself it would not be really interesting.
Re: Publishers Reveal Sales Figures for Skylanders and Disney Infinity
This screams for a comparison graph...
However, I feel that one day I will get sucked into buying these kind of plastic figurines.
Re: Wii U Basic Supply Will Become "Limited" in The UK

Exactly that. My money is ready for a white premium version. It is the ONLY reason I did not buy a Wii U yet. So yeah, if they do release it, then it is an instant buy for me.
