I think that Nintendo should release the smaller version in the U.S, because the U.S is Nintendo's biggest market when it comes to overall sales. Americans seem extremely tempted to go for the Faceplates for the Smaller New Nintendo 3DS. They seem even more tempted by the Xenoblade Chronicles 3D Faceplates. So this is the perfect chance for Nintendo to announce the Smaller 3DS will be coming over to the U.S, starting with a Xenoblade Chronicles bundle, that has the New 3DS, Xenoblade Chronicles 3D and the beautiful looking Xenoblade Red faceplates. Maybe some game stores can do a deal where you buy the bundle and get the 3DS charger, half price. Nintendo would make a killing from the U.S market alone. If they don't do that, then Nintendo is letting a ton of money go if they don't. I live in the U.K, so this doesn't bother me as a a consumer, but as human, it does bother me, that the U.S, a much bigger market, isn't getting the same rights as us. Nintendo, do the smart thing, I implore you... Sorry for the long comment, if this bothers or offends anyone, then I sincerely apologize...
They don't give you your heart back after you beat a level, so basically, you lose a life no matter whether you beat the level or not, that's stupid and seriously needs fixing...
Interesting, but I will be sticking to getting the Figurines. I can't even find the AR Cards that came with my 3DS at all, so I wouldn't want to chance it in this case. Link the most popular amiibo? Zelda U hype confirmed...
Good to see that the Wii U is doing decently for itself, it's a great system that deserves a better marketing team. However, the Wii U struggling in Japan might have something to do with the fact the fact that Japan is a more Handheld centric market, that's probably why all home consoles in Japan don't really do very well, week by week...
I know that it says that their are 6 variations of the New 3DS released here, 2 that are special editions, but was it the Majora's Mask New 3DS and the Monster Hunter 4 New 3DS that were released in the U.K as well as America???
It would be interesting to be sure and his moveset options make him a unique option for a fighter. Now whether this is real or fake, remains to be seen, but I AM silently optimistic...
@Pixel-Perfect Or the music, with 3 different song options. So for the Majora's Mask 3D theme, we could have the Song of Healing(The one that the theme has,) Deku Palace and say, the Majora's Mask Final Boss theme, for example. The same with the Mario, Kirby and any other theme...

People sold it for a lot of money, but then those that bought it, felt like complete idiots when the Demo ended up on the EShop 2 Weeks later…
Considering how much they have messed around with Wii U owners, despite being one of the system’s more supportive companies, I don’t see very many Wii U owners going for this game to be honest with you, because you never know, they may pull off a Rayman Legends and port it over to other systems anyway…
@Bass_X0 Really? Maybe I should rephrase that-
Very Good-Good-Average-Bad-Very Bad rating should be used and each secretly stands for 1 Star. So Very Good-4.5-5 stars, Good-3.5-4 stars, Average-2.5-3 stars, Bad-1.5-2 stars and Very Bad-0.5-1 star.
Does that make things better, or the same???
@larry_koopa Sometimes, the review score isn't accurate to the criticisms that the reviewer gives. For example, a reviewer could give a game a 7, but give only one criticism that would usually drop it by 1 point, so yes, reading a review first is indeed a great idea...

@KodyDawg I would love colours on Handwritten posts. It would make pixel art drawings, such as the ones that I do, so much easier to draw, because then I wouldn't need to do all these complicated greyscale techniques to draw. Plus, it would make Handwitten Posts, such as drawings, stand out more in communities, so more people are likely to see these drawings. For example, I draw Megaman on Wednesday and Megaman has 2 different shades of Blue, a light blue and dark blue. Also, if your favourite Yoshi or Shy Guy was a certain colour, then this would help with that as well...
@GloverMist I personally like the comments thing, but I don't like the activity feed thing. Because I have max friends, 100, and some of them post like 10+ times everyday, so it's hard to keep up as it is, but this just adds unnecessary length to the post shown in my Activity Feed.

@unrandomsam New 3DS-C Stick used for Full 360º Camera Control. Old 3DS-Uses the camera style used in Ocarina Of Time 3D(L and R for turning the camera to face where the character is facing.) Other than that, nothing else is different in terms of in game differences...
@JasonAnArgoNOT64 I mean, out of all of the things I had heard about him, that wasn't one of them. I guess when you scream into a mic all the time, swearing just comes with it...
Well Boohoo. Cry me a bloody river. I have only heard knightmare stories about PewDiePie, about how his only commentary style is screaming into a mic. Therefore, I have made it my duty to avoid any off his stupid videos. This guy gets so many subscribers from assumingly screaming into a microphone, yet proper, genuinely great commentators like Chuggaaconroy and others are popular, but way too underappreciated. Sure, my not one view doesn't affect him at all and I understand that, but I ask, what makes this jabroni so special? Seriously, what's the dang appeal. And before anybody says it, the reason why I choose not to try PewDiePie out, is because I don't want to chance getting my eardrums burst because of the reported constant screaming...
For those of you that don't know, this is from the channel, TWD98, he is called the Mario Kart Master as he has done some absolutely amzing things with Mario Kart Wii...
Amiibo's popularity is overwelming. This is great for Nintendo, as this means a heck of a lot more money for them, that I hope they use for to fix their major flaw, the frequency of their Television advertising. The more adverts that people see of a console or the games, the more likely they are to buy that product. Fix that for the Wii U and the Wii U will have brighter future. I'm loving the Wii U right now, but the lack of adverts for Wii U compared to the oversaturation of PS4 and Xbox One adverts is baffling, to say the least. Keep those Games, Amiibo and the advertisements coming and Nintendo will do just fine...
Next week will be insane. Can you imagine how many people will be downloading the Metroid Prime Trilogy next week? Considering how mamy people want Metroid for Wii U, this would be good to tide those people over until a new Metroid releases for Wii U. Plus for those that weren’t able to experience any of the Metroid Prime games, this would be the perfect opportunity as it’s 3 games in one and for one week starting next week, it’s half price. So it’s win/win…
@rdrunner1178 Woah!!! That's pretty good for a so called 'Failing' system. (Failing system my backside.) Smash looks to surpass Mario Kart with in the next couple of months...
On the software front, it's well and truely Nintendodomination. I'm curious, with how well Mario Kart 8 has sold, has it surpassed 4 Million copies sold worldwide yet? Also, how long do you guys think it would take Mario Kart 8 to become the best selling Wii U game? Also, will Smash Bros for Wii U be the better seller or not? How much is Smash Bros for Wii U at worldwide? Ugh, so many questions!!!!!!!
Now make a Yokai Watch game for Wii U and there could be a loads of potential Wii U sales in Japan. Same goes for a proper RPG Pokemon game for Wii U...
@Moon That's amazing, I have the same message for my Streetpass and one great thing is that I actually got a reply back from someone I Streetpassed with multiple times though the personal message option from tbe entrance to the Plaza, saying that they already own one!!!
Is there some kind of offer on Nintendo Land or something? Or is it an increase in Wii U's, which might explain Mario Kart 8, considering that they are both in there respective bundles...
Only one problem for me from the Direct-No Mario Maker. This makes me dread that I will have to wait until AFTER E3 this year to be able to get my hands on the game and get creative with making Mario Levels. The New 3DS release date announcement more than makes up for it…
