@IceClimbers Fair enough. I just think people are a bit critical of the NL staff at times. Its not like gameinformer where they have the other two companies and all the publishers/ developers supporting them to report on.
@NandN3ds Did I ever tell you my new 3ds story? How I bought it at launch? How it came with a defective sd card. How I'd been sending it in for repairs from feb to June.Even had a manager ask me to stop calling after the fourth "repair". The worst customer service experience of my entire life. I add that up with the rest of NOA's blunders. There's plenty to complain about because the NA branch in being run by clueless incapable people.
@GabSt I'm sure NOA would pitch you line like this one.
We're glad you show interest in the Xenoblade series. unfortunately, we have no plans to bring Xenobalde to the Wii U console. However, Xenoblade is available on new Nintendo 3ds for the low price of 199.99.
NOA is just pathetic. I hope when NOJ is done with internal restructuring they can focus on replacing Reggie and his sorry excuse of a management staff. It's pretty obvious NOA isn't even in the same league as NOE.
@vitalemrecords Guess id better delete Sonic 1&2 from my 3ds. I can't believe I wasted my money on two of the worst games ever made. I'm so glad your personal opinion helped clear things up.
@joey302 I think you summed that up well. I'm really hoping VC gets a complete overhaul with Nintendo's next console. I'd also like to see a more aggressive Nintendo as well. Howard Lincoln did more for NOA than Reggie ever will.
@Bananaman678 Both games you mentioned got average reviews. No matter how much I love a franchise like resident evil, I'm no going to purchace a game like re6 and call it a fantastic week.
@NandN3ds Very true. All I'm interested in are vc and indie games. Imagine my surprise that we got a gba version of a game already available on the service. It's not the first time and I'm sure it won't be the last.
@Mario90125 I've been disappointed with NOA since the Wii U launched. I think the Wii was such a runaway success, and third party's where plentiful, that NOA didn't really have to do much other than TV ad's and localizing games.
Now that times are tough the NA branch is showing how incapable and clueless they truly are. I for one think a change in management is long overdue.
I really wanted this game. The demo showed me a fun good looking fighter. The lack of characters I can forgive, but no online multiplayer? I'll wait for it to hit the bargain bin.
@James_mussell98 I've heard the 3ds isn't capable of properly emulating snes/gba roms. Not sure if that's true though. Then there's the new 3ds. Could that system be up to the task? I still have no idea. I think it's just wishful thinking at this point. Nintendo has no interest in releasing GBA or SNES games on 3ds.
@MarkyVigoroth Smartphones may not be the main reason the Vita is doing terrible, but Mobile devices have affected handheld gaming. All of those younger gamers who at one time might have considered a handheld are simply gaming on devices that are part of the family's mobile plan. Times have changed and I'm sure that's why Nintendo is entering the mobile market to begin with.
So, the 2ds releasing alongside the 3ds would've made handheld gaming more relevant to kid's who are growing up gaming on smartphones? The 3d is the whole factor in why the current generation of children are not favoring dedicated handhelds over tablet&smatphones?

My favorite version. The motion controls worked very well in this game.

@Bass_X0 I was hoping we'd get the zapper games. Oh well. The SFV beta is live so it's been a decent Thursday for me.

Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts? A port of a game that's been available on the e-shope forever now? Unbelievable.

@hcfwesker I wonder if that is some big joke over at NOA. They must be aware people want that game.

Re: Editorial: A Wii U Price Cut is Still Worthwhile Despite Its Ongoing Woes
@Yorumi I won't be a early adopter of the NX. Everything you mentioned is why I'll be taking the wait and see approach with Nintendo's next console.
Re: Nintendo Has "Moved On" From Game Boy Games on the 3DS Virtual Console
@liveswired Thanks for clearing that up. I'm not a tech guy, so I'm not aware of the technical limitations of 3ds.

Re: Nintendo Has "Moved On" From Game Boy Games on the 3DS Virtual Console
@retro_player_22 That's what I've been doing recently. The only problem is games like Mega Man 5 that go for 80 dollars used on Amazon.

Sonic 2 and Sega themes for me. I can't wait to play those bonus stages in 3d!
Re: The Team Behind Earthworm Jim Would Like to Make a Sequel
@Aozz The first game might be available on 3ds. I purchased it back when the system launched.
Re: The Team Behind Earthworm Jim Would Like to Make a Sequel
Not at all. I had EWJ2 on my snes.
Re: Random: Excitable Fans Face Disappointment When Nintendo Does Twitter Wrong
@GaymerZero It must belong to Reggie.
Re: Random: Excitable Fans Face Disappointment When Nintendo Does Twitter Wrong
What did people expect from this? What's left to announce that we don't already know about?
Nintendo is busy working on the Wii U successor.
Re: Nintendo Download: 1st October (North America)
@Kiyata_Hamasaki No Zelda U? If you're going out you might as well do it with a bang.
Re: Nintendo Download: 1st October (North America)
Nothing for me. At least Sonic 2 will be available next week.

Re: Climate "Not Healthy" For Dedicated Handheld Games Consoles, Says Sony's Shuhei Yoshida
@Dr_Lugae I doubt the Vita would've outsold the PSP even if it had a decent software library and affordable memory.
