@Grumblevolcano While I disagree that it shouldn't be best multiplayer, they really should increase the maps to 3 per rotation especially now that we have so many.
@Moon New brand name to distinguish it from the lackluster NNID. Mainly for marketing reasons I assume. Plus it offers a huge overhaul on how accounts work from the previous version
3€ (15%) discount doesn't tempt me. Give me 20%-25% discount then I'll impulse buy. I have XCX, Splatoon, and a huge backlog so I'll wait for reviews and a better sale. Plus I'm on a tight budget and prefer a Wii U version.
For me, I'm willing to pay for these prices for digital games I really like and will keep on my Nintendo e-library. The rest I get the discs for no more than 20€. I would have been happy to pay 40€ for Mario Tennis Ultra Smash on the eShop than get it physically for 21-40€.
The official Twilight Princess HD will run on the limitations and features of the Wii U hardware. Nintendo and Tantalus will be adding gamepad support, amiibo support, miiverse support, and whatever unannounced features they'll be adding which will use some of the Wii U's processing power.
Also the E3 Tech demo? It's a confined demo. Of course it can run better than a full fledge game that requires more variables running on the background. (See Watchdogs in-game reveal trailer, The Witcher 3 trailer, and some other AAA games that didn't live up when they were released to their reveal trailer)
It could also mean that they are using different game designs and/or engines which will have different performances on the Wii U hardware. I don't think Nintendo is remaking TP HD from the ground up.
@k8sMum Seriously? All their games al couch multiplayer-centric now? Splatoon, Kirby Rainbow Paintbrush, Yoshi's WW, Mario Maker, Fatal Frame, and Xenoblade this year says hi.
@Yorumi
Yes because it makes sense to compare Steam and the eShop right? I have respect for you man but @JaxonH is right. Some people are here just to b*tch on everything because it's Nintendo. (Or be the Debbie Downer)
Anyway, if someone finds the Hyrule Warriors Legends Limited Edition with that golden compass comes up for preorder on any Amazon EU please @Splatburst me.
I have all except Hyrule Warriors and The Wonderful 101. I'm still waiting for at least 20-40% off sale on the eShop. Also meh on Smash Bros. It's not on my top 10.

You're just finding excuses to pirate things which you already do.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo is Right to Move On From the Wii Family Name With NX
So NX won't be backwards compatible? Or will be difficult to implement BC? Time to buy your Wii U folks.

Re: Wii U Version Of Indivisible Not Possible, But NX Is Up For Consideration
At least they're not pulling a "Project Cars x Afterbirth".
Re: Monster Hunter X Has Passed 2 Million Units Shipped in Japan
@lifepsychedelic
Same. I'll start on X when it comes here.
Re: Mahi Mahi Resort Map Arrives in Splatoon on 3rd December
@Xenocity
It won't happen in 5 years at least. They'll pull the plug when very few are playing. Just like any other online games out there.
Re: Mahi Mahi Resort Map Arrives in Splatoon on 3rd December
@jariw @Xenocity @BornInNorway81
LOL. By the time they take down the servers, a better and bigger Splatoon 3 and Mario Kart 12 are already out.

Re: FAST Racing NEO Release Date and Pricing Speed Into View
Day one! Feels like pod racing in Star Wars The Phantom Menace.
Re: SteamWorld Heist Release Date and Pricing Confirmed
@rjejr
This isn't Nintendo's call though. It's Image and Form who made the game. But yeah, 15$/€ is an instabuy.
Re: Digital Foundry Gives Xenoblade Chronicles X a Thumbs Up
And Eurogamer gave it an "Essential" rating.

Yes please! I want to change my NNID.
Re: Video: New Mighty No. 9 Trailer Aims to Bring Back the Hype
So they've changed a lot of the art styles. Probably to avoid CapCom lawsuit.
Re: Nintendo of Europe's eShop Cyber Deals End With a Bang on Wii U and 3DS
@blackice85 @gcunit
Yep, confirmed. I was just playing the eShop version.
Re: Nintendo Download: 3rd December (Europe)
@NeufNeuf @Grumblevolcano
Whooops! Sorry! I got confused in the titles of the DS and Wii U games!
Re: Nintendo Download: 3rd December (Europe)
@NeufNeuf
If you you've downloaded/bought the Wii U game Kirby and the Rainbow Paintbrush you only pay 4.99€ each for of these VC Kirby games.
Edit
(Ignore, I got confused with the titles)
Re: Nintendo Download: 3rd December (Europe)
XCX promo (thanks for the free XC Wii Nintendo) and the Kirby promos! Digital master race!
Re: Nintendo of Europe's eShop Cyber Deals End With a Bang on Wii U and 3DS
@blackice85 @morphballer @gcunit
I think it will work provided you played the Wii disc on the same Wii U you're downloading the VC Xenoblade.
Re: Nintendo of Europe's eShop Cyber Deals End With a Bang on Wii U and 3DS
Since I'm going digital with XCX, thanks for the free XC Wii game Nintendo!

Re: Nintendo of Europe Confirms Its Second Batch of eShop Cyber Deals
@kobashi100
Yes because we're not getting a new My Nintendo account next year right?
Re: Nintendo of Europe Confirms Its Second Batch of eShop Cyber Deals
For me, I'm willing to pay for these prices for digital games I really like and will keep on my Nintendo e-library. The rest I get the discs for no more than 20€.
I would have been happy to pay 40€ for Mario Tennis Ultra Smash on the eShop than get it physically for 21-40€.
Re: Nintendo of Europe Launches Its Cyber Deals Weekend With Four Major eShop Discounts
@ThomasBW84
You only got the 3D Land's normal price wrong which should be 45€ and not 50€.
Re: Nintendo of Europe Launches Its Cyber Deals Weekend With Four Major eShop Discounts
@ThomasBW84 you got some prices wrong. 3D Land is normally 44.99€. It's 26.99€ on sale.
Amyway, I'm getting TW101. Digital only for me so it's a good deal.
Re: Feature: The Zelda: Twilight Princess HD Fan Project That's Taking On Nintendo At Its Own Game
Now before you compare the official TP HD...
The official Twilight Princess HD will run on the limitations and features of the Wii U hardware. Nintendo and Tantalus will be adding gamepad support, amiibo support, miiverse support, and whatever unannounced features they'll be adding which will use some of the Wii U's processing power.
Also the E3 Tech demo? It's a confined demo. Of course it can run better than a full fledge game that requires more variables running on the background.

Re: Feature: Five Nintendo Games Perfect For Multiplayer Fun and Thanksgiving - 2015 Edition
@Freeon-Leon
I know right. Though Thomas should have just listed the other 5 from last year to add for this year's another 5.
Re: Feature: Five Nintendo Games Perfect For Multiplayer Fun and Thanksgiving - 2015 Edition
@k8sMum
They didn't have a good single player game on the 3DS this year? Sorry I barely play on my N3DS.
Re: Feature: Five Nintendo Games Perfect For Multiplayer Fun and Thanksgiving - 2015 Edition
@zool
I'll gladly pay 40€ for it on the eShop until the end of this year. Not 50€. For the physical disc, I'll consider it when it's no more than 20€.

Re: You Can Now Buy A Replacement Wii U GamePad On Its Own
i can buy a 8GB white Wii U bundle for 128€ and 149€ on the 32GB bundle in my area. The gamepad could cost more than 100€ if it comes to Europe.
Re: Nintendo Download: 26th November (Europe)
@AlexSora89
I hope Most Wanted U, Lego City Undercover, and The Wonderful 101 will be on sale on this Cyber deals.
Re: Nintendo Download: 26th November (Europe)
My goodNES!
Re: Rumour: A Class in Bravely Second is Supposedly Being Censored for the Western Release
Because Japan. Get over it. Learn Japanese and buy a Japanese console if you want.
Re: Review: Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash (Wii U)
I would have bought this day one on the eShop for 40€. I'll think about it and maybe wait for a sale.
Re: Feature: Our Top Wii U Games - Third Anniversary Edition
@Blue_Blur
The best ones. MK8 and Splatoon will be Wii U's top 1 and 2 best seller.
Re: EA CFO Explains Why the Company Doesn't Make Wii U Games Anymore
Anyway, I hope Most Wanted U goes on sale on the eShop. I've been waiting for ages! No way I'm paying 60€ at this point.
Re: EA CFO Explains Why the Company Doesn't Make Wii U Games Anymore
@faint
Well compared to mobile phones/tablets market, 3DS is fairly small. Not to mention it's difficult to port games into it.
Re: Rush Hour Director Lining Up Hollywood Drama Based On Tetris Creator Alexey Pajitnov

Re: Site News: A Brief Update on Our Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash Review
LOL Nintendo of Europe is now giving us Mario Tennis 64 for us digital buyers. Why not throw the GBA version as well so I'll buy it day one?
Re: Feature: Our Top 10 Wii U Retail Games - Third Anniversary Edition

Re: Site News: A Brief Update on Our Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash Review
@rjejr
Ganon will be compatible with Twilight Princess HD and possibly Zelda U.
Re: Site News: A Brief Update on Our Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash Review
It would have been day one if it's 40€ on the eShop.
