Sheez... It takes 5 minutes to create a fake/alternate Twitter/Facebook account. Some of you guys are paranoid. The government won't be monitoring you unless you're into illegal activities. And you could always set restrictions on your accounts.
@ikki5 Considering they sold 80K-100K sales for 2 (3?) weeks last December, maybe that's where the "7-8K" weekly allotments went. And maybe they've already stopped production. They can't just manufacture in small quantities. It's either they mass produce or they won't bother anymore since NX (home console) is coming.
I've registered around 150 Wii, Wii U, DS, 3DS games and consoles combined on Club Nintendo. But I only owned and paid around 30 of them. I will not complain if Nintendo is rewarding only digital purchasers this time. But who knows if they'll include codes for physical games again.
@Grumblevolcano
I held buying on the eShop except limited offers/discounts. I think the buy 3 for 2 on the Super Mario Advance games are worth it than waiting for My Nintendo.
@RainbowGazelle @Chandlero The SNES games aren't 7.19£ on the Wii U if I'm not mistaken. Dunno why it cost more on the N3DS in the UK while it's the same 8 euros outside UK.
@Wouwter
I apologize if it's rubbing you the wrong way. I didn't intend to. I was just replying randomly since I was here. i really hope they fix it when My Nintendo launches or in NX.
@Wouwter
With only 4 million (they say) New 3DS shipped, Nintendo won't make a profit if they're gonna give it away for free for those Wii U owners who also happens to have an N3DS.
Someone also said there's a glitch on crossbuy for Wii Us with multiple NNIDs that are connected to multiple 3DSes making it all free to all with just one purchase. I dunno if it has been fixed or won't/can't be fixed.
@EmmatheBest As GridAttack said on the Butouden 2 review: "As Discostew explained on the other article regarding SNES emulation on the N3DS, this game is not emulated, it's a port.

@ReigningSemtex
It's been discussed gazillion times in this very article's comment section that EMULATION requires more hardware resources/power to emulate SNES hardware to play SNES games than PORTING a N64 or any other last gen games that runs natively in the 3DS hardware.
@Pixelrobin I assume they can't run the emulator on the old 3DS in the quality they wanted to with save state, suspend mode, miiverse, streetpass, and other functionalities running on the background. Unless Nintendo have low standards on quality of emulated games like @Tasuki, then I don't see why they won't sell it to more than 40 (or 50) million old 3DS owners.
@Socar
I never said it's better than Play Asia. That said, Amazon has a wider reach, cheaper as far as I know (again some friends of mine buys from both and it's cheaper on Amazon through Tenso and no price gouging), and you can cancel preorders/orders with ease. I guess it has better customer service too?
@Socar
In US maybe. But in Europe? In other parts of the world? Amazon has a wider reach. Plus it's safer to shop from them.
Edit:
Also I've heard Play Asia accused of price gouging. You can't cancel orders/preorders from them or it's difficult to request one, etc. So there's that.

I'm not so sure about VR's future but all I know is it will bring new ideas or innovation (on how they film) in the porn industry.

There's a Wii U shortage in Japan for months now. They say the allocated Pokken bundles should bump the sales next week.

Then don't buy. They never promised us crossbuy when we bought the 3ds nor the Wii U. They are different systems.
