I bought it at full price but have yet to play it. I just wanted to support a weird exclusive on my favorite console, but I would have held off for a week had I known this was coming. I'm not exactly sore about it but can't say that I'm too pleased, either.
Taking an early lunch to get a physical copy of the new Kirby as soon as the local game shop opens tomorrow. Will probably buy the theme also, so I voted for that.
I'm swimming in platinum coins right now with nothing to spend them on and this kind of thing adds cool value to the program. Please bring these over and throw the Palutena Smash reveal trailer in there, too.
Kinda surprised that this isn't a New 3DS exclusive. I understand why they would't want it to be from a business perspective, but I hope they didn't have to scale the game back too much to get it to work. Will buy regardless though because RUNBOOOOOOOW.
And I will be buying one of those second hand copies. The game was just too divisive for me to pay full price for it. Now if only there had been a demo for me to try for myself beforehand...
Oh, baby. I need to get a physical copy of this since that is how I have Triple Deluxe and the inconsistency would drive me nuts, but I'll be doing that as early as possible on the 10th. It's been a while since I knocked off work for a video game release so I might just do that.
It may look as nice as the PS4 version, but will it run as well? Because this game has performance differences between New and Old 3DS models, even. Hmmmmm.
@allav866 It totally makes sense to buy games that you know you don't have time for just to squirrel them away for later. I tell myself this all of the time.
My friends and I were obsessed with unlocking Michael Jordan in NBA Jam. We were obviously too young to understand that him having his own licensed SNES game meant that there was basically zero chance of him appearing. Good times, though.
I have this on 3DS and it is a bit clunky on there but I feel it would play much better on the big screen. I'd certainly appreciate a discount for owning the 3DS version, but I'll probably get it at some point regardless.
Lost Reavers for sure. And I told myself that I wouldn't pay full price again for SNES games that I already own just to have them on 3DS, but the allure of portable Super Metroid is much too strong to ignore.
I voted for the Gamecube AC just because of that magic of playing the series for the first time. New Leaf is obviously the better game but I voted nostalgia.
As an American, other than the Civil War, dropping those bombs was the darkest part of my history. Nobody wants to think about it all, much less in how it might have related to our friggin' video games. I'll give you that the article was laid out in a manner to be as inoffensive as possible, but it is still just completely unnecessary.
I grabbed the second one on sale a while back and liked it pretty well. And it sounds like they took all of the interesting stuff from that one and threw it out the window here. No, thanks.
I had a preorder for this that I canceled when I found out that I couldn't play SNES games with it. Kinda regret it now, though, because that thing is really slick.
I surely would have been late for work today if this had released in the US, so I guess I should be happy about not getting it? Just trying to find a bright side here.
You'd think that a small developer would include all planned platforms in one trailer to save money. The lack of a Wii U logo at the end is pretty ominous, in my eyes.
Will probably get Jones On Fire, depending on the sale price. I thought it looked like fun, but maybe not $6 worth of fun. Bravely Second demo is a no-brainer.

Re: Nordic Games is Actually Working on a Wii U Release
I've bought the first Darksiders twice already but you can bet your butt that I'd buy an enhanced version for Wii U.

Re: Feature: Our Top 20 Highest Rated 3DS eShop Games
I'd have Toy Stunt Bike and Runny Egg on there, but i'm also kinda nuts. Pretty good list, though.

Re: Nintendo Download: 26th May (North America)
Is there no cross-buy with the Dragon Fantasy game this time? Anyway, I'm getting StarTropics and anxiously awaiting reviews of Rynn's Adventure.
Re: B3 Game Expo For Bees is a Wii U Exclusive Shooter With a Quirky Premise
Bought. I will gladly support buzz-arre Wii U exclusives until the console completely dies.

Re: Random: Japanese Gamers Decide Which Starter Pokémon Is The Most "Seriously Useless"
Chespin is the GOAT so I feel that this list is kinda flawed.
Re: Review: The Deer God (Wii U eShop)
I had high hooves for this. I guess I'll try to save a few bucks by waiting for a sale.
Re: SteamWorld Heist Dated for PS4 and Vita, Wii U Version Still "In the Works"
It's like walking into the lunchroom and seeing two of your best friends sitting over at the cool kids table.

Re: Capcom Could Be Planning to Bring Back Old IP
Put Firebrand in a Darksiders-esque action rpg and we've got a deal.
Re: Rumour: Sources Go to Battle Again Over Nintendo NX Power
The NX will be on par with Xbone. Then, in two years we get the NX Neo which will be the real powerhouse.

Re: Exclusive: FAST Racing NEO Update, Called 'Vertigo', Goes Live on 18th May
I was so busy with XCX when this released that I just didn't have time for it. Now, however, I believe that it's go time.
Re: Nintendo Download: 12th May (North America)
I'm going to cross my fingers and throw down a fiver on 8-Bit Hero just based on the look of it and my desire for a new multiplayer game.

Re: Demongeon Promises a Hellish Platforming Challenge on Wii U This Summer
That's a complete 180 from the cutesy style and easy going play of Paper Monsters and Blocky Bot, for sure. I'm all in on this.
Re: Nintendo Download: 5th May (North America)
Pocket Card Jockey is life. That demo consumed me.

Re: Exclusive: Gunslugs is Heading to the 3DS eShop, and Nintendo Life's Community Helped Make it Happen
Nice! I almost bought the original on psn a little while back, but I'd much rather have it on my 3DS.
Re: Western Localisation Of Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Features Costume And Age Changes
I can't imagine that there are a ton of impressionable North American children who are just clamoring to play this heady, story-driven JRPG.
Re: Review: Olympia Rising (Wii U eShop)
This looks to be my kind of game. C'mon, US release.
Re: Nintendo Download: 21st April (North America)
Anyone who picked 'nothing' over the Pocket Card Jockey demo must be made of stone.
Re: Video: Nintendo Spring Partner Preview Spotlights Upcoming eShop Games
I almost bought Axiom Verge on the Vita yesterday but after seeing that and hearing about the Wii U features I am really glad that I held out.
Re: Review: Chronicles Of Teddy: Harmony Of Exidus (Wii U eShop)
So I should just play Elliot Quest again and wait for this to go on sale?
Re: Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse Will Bring End Times to 3DS in the Americas This Summer
Those SMT synths always give me goosebumps.
Re: Nintendo Download: 14th April (North America)
Lost Reavers for sure. And I told myself that I wouldn't pay full price again for SNES games that I already own just to have them on 3DS, but the allure of portable Super Metroid is much too strong to ignore.
Re: Poll: The Utterly Charming Animal Crossing Series Is 15 Today, But Which Is Your Favourite?
I voted for the Gamecube AC just because of that magic of playing the series for the first time. New Leaf is obviously the better game but I voted nostalgia.
Re: Review: Moco Moco Friends (3DS)
Nice, nice. Had been waiting on this review for a while and it just sold me.

I'm not too worked up about the new outfits, but Satura's campaign and Lilac will both be got.
Re: Review: Cutie Clash (Wii U eShop)
This site's anti-Cutie bias is simply disgusting. #CutieGate
Re: Mighty No. 9's Release Date Remains A Mighty Mystery
The bright-eyed enthusiasm that everyone showed for this when it was announced seems like 20 years ago now.
Re: Review: Excave III : Tower of Destiny (3DS eShop)
I grabbed the second one on sale a while back and liked it pretty well. And it sounds like they took all of the interesting stuff from that one and threw it out the window here. No, thanks.
Re: Review: Shantae: Risky's Revenge - Director's Cut (Wii U eShop)
I'll feel like an idiot for buying this again, but I really want to play this on my tv and hear it through proper speakers.

Re: Nintendo Announces Separate Hyrule Warriors Season Passes for Wii U and 3DS
The Wii U character pack and season pass will suit me just fine, thanks.
Re: Nintendo Download: 17th March (North America)
Will buy Pokken as soon as My Nintendo gets rolling. Nothing until then, though.

Re: Infinity Runner is Dashing Towards a 24th March Release on Wii U
I'm not buying anymore eShop games until the Nintendo Acount rolls out in the west, but as soon as that happens then I will play the heck out of this.
Re: Review: Steel Rivals (Wii U eShop)
Those screenshots upset my stomach.
