I've got a 9 years old who loves his Galaxy Tab 3 and our Wii U + PS 3 - but he also loves my old SNES + N64 AND Gameboy.

I'd get a WiiU version - a 3DS one is just pointless.

This is day-one purchase for me, no matter what! Gotta support the companies that support my beloved Wii U...

Not much of a Sonic-fan but I got Sonic Lost World anyways. Hopefully Boom will have less "speed". I feel that's the thing that breaks most of the Sonic games - even though it's his signature. It just makes the 3D games... unplayable. You just feel lost in a pinball machine.

Nintendo here in Scandinavia sucks... According to the official Nintendo site, the lack of Club Nintendo is a Nintendo-decision, not a choice of Bergsala. Great news, though!

Got 7 of them already, have been on the verge of getting Wonderful 101 several times, guess I'll get it now. Yay!

For Better Or For Worse, Wii U users love their Gamepad so can we please stop with these "Should the Gamepad go..."-articles? And yes, for me the Gamepad is a massive success. Love the off-TV play when the kids want to watch TV, when I'm in bed or for playing GBA games on a more suitable screen +++

And I'll be getting ALL the figurines when they finally show up, can't wait...

@PvtOttobot ...aaaaaand you were added to the 'Trolls'-category...

Eh, no Warioland 4 - was really hoping for that one. Guess I'll just get Scram Kitty this week then. I'll get Kirby physical - don't want to fill up my SD...

Is this still coming for WiiU? I'll get the 3DS version (on sale) only if the WiiU version gets (officially) cancelled. It's still listed at coming here on NintendoLife WiiU games list, but System 3 website doesn't mention the WiiU version any more...

@PrincessEevee9
Just kids with zero life experience hating company X for whatever infantile reason they might have...

NES Remix 2, Super Mario Advance 3: Yoshi's Island & Sayonara UmiharaKawase for me this Thursday!

GBA on 3DS is not gonna happen, at least for a long while. Nintendo wanna push WiiUs with this. 50x people asking for it here's not gonna change this. Please stop whining...

@Action51 I don't like ANY of the strategy games you listed, but I LOVE Advance Wars so there's no reason for ANYONE to avoid it!

I'll get five of the eight first GBA games. I'll skip Golden Sun, F-Zero and WarioWare.

I do the Pro Controller / Gamepad combo for VC games. The Gamepad screen is perfect for VC, but the Pro Controller is a far superior controller for these games...

@XCWarrior: "An epic is a long book, poem or film which usually tells a story of heroic deeds. Something that is described as epic is considered very impressive or ambitious." And please stop yelling.

Would LOVE a new3D DK title! A DK64 HD remake for WiiU or a port for 3DS would also be great! Even a VC release would be most welcome! I just can't get enough Kong!

Too bad, hope they can turn things around... Toki Tori 2 was one of my biggest dissappointments last year so it's no surprise the sales were low. The game mechanics were great, but the vast overworld / lack of levels made the game feel aimless.

@Ezekiel I'm guessing you're quite young? Go read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PAL_region#Criticism_of_PAL_region_video_games

Really liked that 2 minute masturbation scene at the end...

Yeah, just got it and the 1.3 update (in Norway)...

Nintendo in Scandinavia sucks, with everything left to the importer. No advertising, no Club Nintendo, no nothing!!!

I can only speak for Norway / Scandinavia where most people don't even KNOW there's a new console from Nintendo! The crappy importer here (Bergsala) don't do ANY advertising etc. Only loyal Nintendo-fans buys WiiU here, most other gamers are waiting for PS4 / XBox One.

The LARGE marked here with money-strong parents aren't aware of the new WiiU and it's possibilities. And we don't even have ClubNintendo here - so there's no incentive to stay loyal and earn points...

I feel Nintendo is too focused on US / Japan, and it's starting to show...

Man, Australians and their constant whining...
Here in Norway RRP on new games usually are US$90-100 - AND we don't have Club Nintendo in all of Scandinavia 'cause the sh*tty Nintendo-partner here (Bergsala) can't be bothered with it...
In fact they never do ANY promotion or anything, can't understand why Nintendo has used them since the 80's...

@Salnax : NintendoLand WAS what it should have been, a great title!

So it's $10 each for 5 sports, totalling at $50 - which is a low price for a new WiiU game here in Norway - day 1 insta-buy...

>However, the pricing could be cause for concern - buying unlimited access to each sport is going to be expensive.

That's just NintendoLife's cheap way of generating lots of comments - which happens in nearly all articles if you pay attention...

Bought this on launch after loving the first game. I LOVE the core gameplay, but I hardly ever play it as I feel I just wander aimlessly around the worldmap. Really hate the open world - I feel no sense of what I've completed, what to replay, where to go etc. For me this was a BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD decision - next Two Tribes game is NOT insta-buy, that's for sure!

@ACK: Have to agree with you, Stan Lee's getting far too much credit for what was almost solely Kirby's work! Won't be getting this BECAUSE of Stan Lee in it!

Used to LOVE this game on the C64 back in the days. Never got very far but always came back for more. Got the PSN-remake on PS3 with all extra DLC. It's a classic, alright.

And yeah, 3/10 is WAY too harsh!

Already got all tables for Zen, Zen 2, Marvel & Star Wars Pinball on PS3 - too bad, would trade them in for WiiU-versions if I could. And now I have to continue buying future tables on PS3 also as I want them all accessible in one package.

Why do people buy this crap? If you got kids, like me, at least wait for Disney Infinity.

And the idiot award for not knowing the difference between a trailer and a teaser trailer goes to... Ultra64!

The problem with the 'system updates'-protection is that they (usually) don't add anything new to the firmware required for the games to play. So if you remove the firmware version check from a ROM-file, it'll work just as well on an older firmware.

Updated 2x 3DS (one red, one aqua) for my boys and bought all games combo for both and everything went ok. Updated my red 3DS XL, update went ok, but Mii Plaza crashes everytime I try to buy the new games. It crashes even though I'm not connected to internet, so it's a software error, NOT server issue!

Oh, and it's not dangerous in any ways to update, you won't lose anything etc etc. Only problem that occurs is Mii Plaza crashes when you try to enter one on the games in the Mii Plaza Shop.

I used to love Spelunker on the C64 in the '80s, as did most of my friends. Guess console gamers just couldn't handle the difficulty, as usual!
Got Spelunker HD on PS3 with all the extra DLC. Spelunker is a classic and a 10, at least the C64 one! Dunno about the NES version as I've barely tested it.

+1 for Donkey Kong over Metroid here! Love anything DK and this look great!

Side note: I don't understand how they gave this a 7 and the original a 9. If it's more of the same, wouldn't one give it an equal or just a bit off score?

Two different reviewers.

So you're saying this probably would be a 9 with a more old-school (better) oriented reviewer?

@theadrock13: You're wrong...

It's not an 8-bit game since the WiiU is not an 8-bit console - it's a game with a retro look. The graphics might be 8-bit, haven't counted to check if there's more than 256 colors in a level. But I get your point, just nitpicking...
Wouldn't mind a Mighty Switch Force HD-look though, but that's not gonna happen. I guess they've just tinkered a bit with it to not look too blocky or something on a much larger screen.

This NEW title is an insta-buy for me!

Do you really have to publish these speculating Nintendo-is-doomed articles EVERY SINGLE DAY? We'll know when we get there if The WiiU it's a success or not. I bought the system mostly for it's Nintendo titles. If the WiiU fails in a year or two, I'll just get a PS4 - simple as that.

@FuriousFrancis: I really want that Castlevania for WiiU. Either way I won't be getting ANY of those RPGs. Simply haven't got the time for them. And I never finish them either. I always get bored of those J-RPGs, they always gets samey and tiresome after some hours play. That's just IMHO - I respect that others love 'em - I just played enough of them on SNES and PSX, guess I'm just getting old.

@Rizsparky: Oki, thanks! Will get the EX version then...

I have Nano Assault Neo for WiiU, but never tested Nano Assault on 3DS. This sounds really interesting as all original levels are included. Just wondered if someone could let me know: Are the levels in the original and the WiiU version the same?

Yeah, they won't be missed as things are now. Too bad they couldn't do better with the franchise, the games are just plain boring imo. My two boys have both games and never play them.

I totally get Sony on this one. They've spent tons of money on this and built a recognizable character connected to Sony. Jerry Lambert is free to star in whatever commercials he like, just not for video games since he's so connected with the "Kevin Butler"-character.

He's probably earned a good deal of cash over the years from Sony so it's pretty illoyal starring in a similar role for a competing product/company. And it's obvious Bridgestone/Nintendo wanted to play on this connection with the "Kevin Butler"-character, otherwise they could have chosen any actor on the planet for the role in that commercial.

Just updated. Never had any troubles before, so there's no difference that I noticed. Nice to see the update system works though...

@KnightRider666 : What pirates? There's no pirates on 3DS?

Stan Lee is the biggest joke in comics ever! Stealing & living off the work of others and giving no credit! It makes me sick everytime someone praises him! Excelsior my a$$!

This looks awesome, Sonic was NEVER any fun and James is a fanboy-troll! IMHO

>While Zen Studios has released the tables as DLC for Zen Pinball on PlayStation Network, 3DS will get the Marvel tables as a standalone game, not add-on content for Zen Pinball 3D, the studio confirmed.

Huh? Marvel Pinball is a separate game on PSN also, the tables are not DLC for Zen Pinball... Both games got additional tables as DLC though - I got them both with all addons...
