Um, Nintendo announced this over a week ago. Why was Nintendo Life so late in posting this? Every other site posted the info last week when Nintendo announced the game.
So some minor site no one has heard of claims an anonymous source has this info? I don't buy this, and I am surprised Nintendo Life would publish it.
@evilralfwiggum, not quite true. Nintendo and Panasonic made a special GameCube called the Panasonic Q that could legally play DVDs, they only sold it in Japan though.
This is why you shouldn't post these so early, your comment on North America getting Face Pilot last turned out to be BS because we got it a day before Japan.
A Link to the Past comes after Ocarina of Time, Miyamoto himself confirmed this in a 1998 Nintendo Power interview when he revealed that this was the official timeline order: Ocarina of Time Legend of Zelda Zelda II A Link to the Past
He didn't say where Link's Awakening was, but it would have to be after OOT since he said that was first in the timeline. They may have changed it since, but they did share it before.
Nintendo has been the home of the Rayman franchise for quite some time (I think the last one to appear on another system was when the first Rayman Raving Rabbids appeared on Xbox 360), the Wii and DS should get it too.
Who should I believe, the president of Nintendo of America or some "anonymous source"? Besides, they did not say he was wrong, and coming out in the first three months of 2011 is still 2011. There is no chance of the 3DS coming out this year.
Considerg that the game doesn't even have a PAL release date, the article name should be at Flametail (which is in both the North American and Japanese name), it's the PAL name that is odd.
Surprise, surprise. Warner Bros. is being greedy by making people pay twice to watch the movie, so why shouldn't EA charge twice to play the same game? The main reason the movie is being split in 2 is because they know Harry Potter fans will be willing and stupid enough to pay twice.
Actually, we DO know the names of the starters (so the article is wrong). These are the Japanese names of coarse and thus will be changed for the English translation.The grass starter is Tsutaja and is called a Grass Snake Pokemon. The fire starter is Pokabu and is called a Fire Pig Pokemon. The water starter is Mijumaru and is called a Sea Otter Pokemon.
All 3 are ugly, Pokabu is the least ugly. I think Treecko now has competition for ugliest grass starter, I may actually start with Pokabu ( with the past games I always started with the grass starter).
mariofanatic, it won't happen. Romancing SaGa 2 is text heavy (as are most RPGs), and it's confirmed by executives at Konami that Nintendo doesn't allow developers to translate import VC games.
The Fox, this moron is being all negative on the 3DS despite the fact that he knows nothing more than the rest of us (which is almost nothing). It's like commenting on the quality of a movie that won't come out for 2 years.
Hardy83, The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks (the most recent Zelda game) sold a LOT more than just 1 million. The game sold 2.45 million copies just in 2009, that is a great number for any company.
cheapogamer, why do you assume it's Nintendo's fault? Maybe the publishers are too cheap to get it rated by the OFLC? Every region requires a separate rating, and some publishers can't afford that (some small studios have eve said that this is the reason their games are only released in North America, they can't afford to localize it for EU or AU).
Also, aren't there now like 15 sudoku games on DSiWare?
Kid_A, it's an unlicensed game, so there is 0% chance of it ever appearing on the VC. Why didn't this company just get a Wii development kit and make it a WiiWare game? They would have made more money (and be a legit developer).
"(Americans should be getting it too, we would imagine)", kinda old news. Nintendo of America announced yesterday morning that we would be getting the Pokéwalker.
Klap, Nintendo confirmed in their press release that you can take along any Pokémon.
Gavin, the North American release date is March 14.
"Rare"? It's not just rare, this is the first time Virtual Console games have ever been on sale. Nice to see these cheaper Genesis games, I hope they do well enough to encourage Nintendo to do more sales.
I wonder who is losing the $2 in revenue though, Nintendo or Sega? Or both?
The Monkey Island game isn't the longest title for WiiWare. That honor belongs to "Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People - Episode 4: Dangeresque 3: The Criminal Projective"
I think it's unfair to call Electroplankton a commercial disaster. In the US, the game was ONLY available from Nintendo's website and Amazon (same thing in Canada, although the Canadian version of EB Games also carried it). It's hard to call a game a success or failure when the only place to buy it was at 2 websites.
As for Wii 4.2, the only reason not to update is if you want to continue using the Homebrew Channel (the update doesn't just disable it, it actually deletes the channel).

Re: 3DS Coming to Japan by October
Since this info has not been confirmed to be false, maybe you should change the headline you that so don't mislead people.
Re: Yes, There Really Is a Zelda Master Timeline Document
A Link to the Past comes after Ocarina of Time, Miyamoto himself confirmed this in a 1998 Nintendo Power interview when he revealed that this was the official timeline order:
Ocarina of Time
Legend of Zelda
Zelda II
A Link to the Past
He didn't say where Link's Awakening was, but it would have to be after OOT since he said that was first in the timeline. They may have changed it since, but they did share it before.
Re: Nintendo Download: 16th July 2010 (Europe)
Fix for the article: it's Game Boy (not GameBoy).
Re: Aussie Child Uses DS to Save Mother's Bacon
Why would anybody buy a stupid flashlight app? The DS screen alone is more than bright enough,
Re: Still Hope Rayman Origins May Find its Way to Nintendo Consoles
Nintendo has been the home of the Rayman franchise for quite some time (I think the last one to appear on another system was when the first Rayman Raving Rabbids appeared on Xbox 360), the Wii and DS should get it too.
Egg miester, people love the Rabbids.
Re: Nintendo Download: 2nd July (Europe)
Other than the VC release, this is catch-up week for PAL regions as all of the WiiWare and DSiWare games are already out in North America.
Re: Reggie's 3DS Date Confirmation May Have Been a Mistake

Re: Nintendo Download: 8th & 9th June 2010 (Japan)
Fighter's History Dynamite is better known by it's non-Japanese name of Karnov's Revenge.

Re: Sorry Antipodean Gamers: No Bejeweled 2 For You
Free maybe, but it is NOT more fun. Not to mention that you can't play the Facebook one if you are having problems with your Internet connection.
Re: Pokémon Black and White Starters are Disappointingly Ugly

Re: Hey Now, Kirby Wii Might Actually Be Happening This Time
Um, EVERY Nintendo financial listing for the last 5 years has had this Kirby game listed.
So this article is just more baseless speculation, I came here expecting some info.
Re: Nintendo DS Now Best-Selling Handheld
The DS was already #1, we just didn't know when it happened because Nintendo combined sales of Game Boy and Game Boy Color together.
Re: Nintendo Will Release 3DS in October
You should put a "?" in the headline, this is only a RUMOR. I will not act like this is true.
Re: Nintendo Download: 9th April 2010 (Europe)
There have already been two retail DS "The Price if Right" games, how does this DSiWare game compare to them?
Re: Ogre Battle 64 Hits Europe This Friday
Ogre Battle 64 is not only sorta third party, Nintendo published it in Japan (both the original N64 version and the VC version).

Re: Monster Hunter and Classic Controller Pro Bundle Coming To North America
The name of the game is "Monster Hunter Tri", not "Monster Hunter 3 Tri", you guys might want to fix that.
Re: Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver UK Date Announced

Re: Celebrate The Holidays With Cheaper Sega Virtual Console Titles
"Rare"? It's not just rare, this is the first time Virtual Console games have ever been on sale. Nice to see these cheaper Genesis games, I hope they do well enough to encourage Nintendo to do more sales.
I wonder who is losing the $2 in revenue though, Nintendo or Sega? Or both?

"192 UN Nations" The UN has 193 countries, so I wonder which country was left out?
Re: Rayman
legochesser, this is not a new game, it's just a port of the original Rayman game.
Re: Nintendo Download: 17-18 November 2009 (Japan)
Are the Drawing games just the Japanese versions of the Art Academy games? Those are basically the same thing and are also from Nintendo.
