Still hate Nintendo's "training wheels mentality" with the whole 9-day content embargo on this $60.00 game. Can I pay for this game in 9 installments, then? Also, nice release date, Nintendo.
Digital download games really should be less expensive than boxed retail versions. There's no packaging expense, shipping cost or retailer mark-up to factor in. Am I the only one bothered by this?
@kensredemption Actually, they've been available for almost a year! What's worse, is I just realized I've actually used them! Ugh... my brain sometimes...
What a dunce. She already hurt her husband by stealing his games out of spite. Selling them for cheap only hurts her, financially, which I'm sure her husband had a good laugh over, since he was never going to get the games back anyway. Again, what a dunce.
Spot on. Best Amiibo manifesto I've yet read.
For all the reasons stated above, and more (i.e. - Amiibo/Skylanders crossover, U.S. retailer exclusives), I finally woke-up from my Amiibo-hunting nightmare said: "NO MORE" to Nintendo's intentionally-manufactured insanity, and took back my life (very little exaggeration here).
I'm currently selling-off my entire/complete collection and it feels just fine.
More lip-service from Nintendo and Iwata. I've lost count of all the recent hollow apologies. I mean, the Amiibo-focused apologies alone range into the dozens, with no attempt to improve that dreadful situation.
They simply do what they want, when they want and how they want.
Don't expect anything different from them. You'll be sadly (and consistently) disappointed.
"Please, understand"...
The invited contestants should battle in a separate division, away from the contestants that had to go out of their way to qualify. Also, not having Fred Savage host is a missed opportunity.
Good grief, everyone... This guy is full of COMPLETE NONSENSE.
Here's a direct quote, dated March 17, from Iwata, himself:
"As proof that Nintendo maintains strong enthusiasm for the dedicated game system business, let me confirm that Nintendo is currently developing a dedicated game platform with a brand-new concept under the development code name NX,"

@Mario500 Not Mario Tennis.
Re: New Patent Sparks Talk of Potential NX Details
The NX will be 100% digital. Nintendo and DeNA will provide free wireless service and cloud-based storage.
Re: Mario History: Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and Mario's Tennis - 1995
Yoshi's Island. Favorite game of all time. Perfect in every way.
Re: Nintendo Download: 20th August (North America)
I wish Nintendo would drop their fascination with GBA games on the Wii U and, instead, put them on the 3DS, where they truly belong.

Meanwhile, it's still a disaster here in the States, as Nintendo and NA retailers have done absolutely nothing to improve the Amiibo situation.
Re: Egads, Shovel Knight Is Getting A Physical Release On Nintendo 3DS

I'm betting/hoping for an Amiibo pack-in.
