Please come to the UK. ;-;

I don't understand why there is an obsession for 60fps. Surely when 60Hz TVs can only display video at 30fps anyway... I mean, this may not apply to the 3DS screen but you do see where I'm coming from, right?

So we've all stopped complaining that Europe got Nintendo Video then?

I really need to get some credit on my 3DS to pick up some VC games.

Nintendo event next Tuesday?

Can I come?

Sigh, just when you started to think maybe NoE was starting to sort out its shoddy release dates. They were doing well with Ocarina of Time and Black and White. This is disappointing, especially considering the fanfare that was made over this game at E3 2010. I was half expecting it to be out by now.

Will be picking up Solatorobo at some point when my budget allows it!

<-- My face when this was first announced.

Will definitely be picking this up at launch for the portability. I think I'll wait a bit before picking up Complete though, I already have all of the games on WiiWare.

I spent a minute trying to work out how 11/8 meant it had been pushed back. Date fail. xD

Not too bad I guess, I'd rather a developer take time to polish a title than rush it to launch and fluff it up.

This would annoy me immensely.

Great feature! I think Sonic CD is a little overrated, as I personally find the stages to be a little to fragmented to be as enjoyable as their cartridge cousins, however the music is killer - I still have my original PAL copy for my Mega CD II!

I think the only game I haven't played on this list is Sonic Battle. If it's going cheap on eBay it might be a nice way to celebrate the blue blur's birthday.

It wasn't until James pointed out that it looked similar to Pandora's Box, that I noticed the boxart in the article WASN'T Pandora's Box. =/

Edit: Having watched the video, is this just a modified Layton ROM or something?

@RadioShadow

Seems Australasia is an area within Oceania.

Anyway, I'm jealous those Aussies are getting the awesome Ocarina. The only similar thing local to us is the Ocarina the French are getting, but they're fetching stupid money on eBay at the moment.

I wonder whatever happened to the Yamauichi family, wasn't it them who used to run Nintendo before Mr Iwata took over?

I bought a 3DS yesterday just to play this sucker. Not that I have (or will for 2 weeks infact)...

I <3 revision. ¬___¬

Triple dipping confirmed.

Also, here's the boxart if you were looking for it: http://www.nintendoeverything.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/bit.trip_complete.jpg

Does anyone know if the UK is getting the soundtrack CD from Club Nintendo? crosses fingers

When I watched the Nintendo E3 stream, the speakers specifically referenced us viewers watching around the world, via the web. The emphasis here being "around the world" - E3 isn't some unknown convention in some corner of the USA. It's a globally recognised event, so why should Nintendo of Europe keep such content from us?

Also, NoE, you need to sort out your exchange rates. $4 does not equal £3.60.

Don't forget the BIT.TRIP games are coming to Wii via disk as BIT.TRIP COMPLETE:

"dodgy Cockney accents"

I wouldn't want it any other way. I'll take UK Luke over US Luke any day of the week.

The DS release ate through hours of my time trying to get all perfects, and I am ready to do it all again on this version. Bring it on!

I'm wondering if the title "Professor Layton and the Last Specter" will stick for the UK release, or whether they'll change it, like they did with Diabolical Box/Pandora's Box and Unwound Future/Lost Future. I'm pretty sure they'll stick with UK Luke though. I'd be incredibly upset if they switched to Luke's US voice actor.

Other than that (day one purchase for me) the only other DS game I'd be looking into getting would be Kirby: Mass Attack. Epic Yarn got me into Kirby, and I'm interested to see what else the pink blob has to offer.

Other than that, could those be my last ever new release DS purchases? I'm sure I'll pick up titles I've missed from the back catalogue, such as the Zelda games, but still, it is sad to see support finally starting to wind down for the old girl. Still, she had a marvellous run, having started out on day one with Super Mario 64 DS.

I love my DS.

I am pumped for this show. Bring it on!

Wow, is that a pig flying past my window?

My reaction when I saw Spyro's new design:

Oh Classic Spyro, how I miss thee...

Just so you know, somewhere between the last Spyro game and Skylanders, Spyro got hit by a lorry. He now looks like this:

Coloured consoles are the best. I still want a purple 3DS dammit.

Someone give these kids an award for acting.

Also, at 1:16... is that an Action Replay in her DS?

I swear your image captions get worse by the week.

Hmm, 3DS or 360 version... or both?

It would probably also help if I actually owned a 3DS.

Nice! I recognise that venue, it's the same one where I attended the Monster Hunter Tri preview!

LETS MAKE THIS FUN!

Is it sad that I raced my DSi against my XL? XP

Meh, I'll stick to Blue Boxes.

@pixelman

FATE and VOID are much less rhythm-centric compared to RUNNER. I would at least give BEAT or FLUX a go at some point. ;D

This is what I'm going to buy a 3DS for.

@Square-enixFan

Each game in the BIT.TRIP series is stylistically designed in such a way that it features a mash-up of trippy retro and modern visuals, giving the games a really unique and somewhat fresh look. All the games have some sort of rhythm element to them, and the soundtracks are second to none - all are chiptune inspired and improve depending on your performance, and some of the tunes are just superb. Each game up to FLUX relies on a fundamentally different game mechanic, e.g. BEAT is a pong clone, RUNNER is a platformer, etc. In this way, there is something for everyone in this series. The games are also renowned for their notorious difficulty, and the developers even have a dedicated webpage to honour those who have managed to obtain perfect scores. And whilst they may appear simple on the surface, each game tells a story and is completely open to interpretation and speculation by the fanbase, with regards to Commander Video and his journey. Overall, the BIT.TRIP games are really top notch examples of what developers can do with simple concepts if they put their minds to it, and, in my opinion, are some of the finest games I've ever played.

@Kirk

The difference between mobile gaming and handheld gaming is that you simply cannot, by en large (spelling?), find the same deep gaming experiences on a mobile app store that you can in the DS library, for example (which I hope I will be able to extend to the 3DS library once it grows further). I mean sure, spending 99p or however much it costs to download Angry Birds or what have you is all well and good, but I don't honestly expect to get a deep gaming experience from a pocket money priced game like that. I agree with some of the reports saying that cheap apps that cost only £1 or even less are de-valuing other, full price games. People are more reluctant to spend £30 on a game, even though it likely provides far more than 30x the amount of enjoyment a cheap iPhone game does. Plus, considering this package would cost you 4200 Wii Points (£29.40 in hard cash) I think £30 is more than justifiable for a portable, 3D version. Considering CORE alone has taken up over 50 hours of my life, I would more than get my money's worth from this package. Besides, Gaijin are a really promising team IMO, and I personally feel like they deserve my money, as they have crafted something amazing here and as a result have my deep and utmost respect.

@MasterGraveheart

Who said you could do that?

Hmm, owning the full series on Wii and 3DS, and hopefully also on Steam... I am a bit of a BIT.TRIP NUTTER methinks.

Hey, thanks for putting this up Zach!

I couldn't give two hoots about Harmonica of Time (credit to anyone who gets that reference), THIS is why I'm buying a 3DS.

Also, I demand to know why CORE was only scored a meagre 8/10. It deserves 11/10 in my opinion. Is it a bad thing that this is my second most played Wii game, with 50 hours on the clock (behind Mario Kart Wii, 55hrs)?

How odd. 5/10 yet this game seems to have gotten more positive reviews elsewhere. ONM in particular gave it over 80%.

I think I might just pick this up and form my own opinion of it, I enjoyed the original Conduit and hopefully this should be fun too.

Can anyone advise on how well the Wii headset works with this title, i.e. can I literally talk to anyone without needing to add them as friends?

Nice to see them coming to MCM London again, looking foward to seeing them there!

Why did I get excited at the prospect of a demo that a) isn't available in PLA regions, and b) is of a game I already own?

Someone at Nintendo needs a slap.

"snowboard down Everest while dressed in an oversized troll outfit"

Now that is something I would like to see.

Does anyone know well received this game was in Japan? I'm interested in picking this up.

Wii Light + Guitar Hero = Sweet Rave Party

That genuinely has piqued my interest. I'm keeping an eye on this one should it get localised.

Fingers crossed, I can't afford a 3DS now you see. x'D

Oh well, I can't afford my 3DS, plus since I'm on a farm in Suffolk for the next three weeks I couldn't get hold of one even if I could afford it. xD

I did have one on preorder, but sadly had to cancel due to financial constraints. Oh well, at least I can wait for a new colour system/new game I like.

Thoroughly deserved methinks, I'm loving White so far!

I would give Lilt Line a go if it wasn't for my absolute lack of monies.
