No MLP FiM?
No thanks.
I'm also pretty sure despite the North America label, it's actually only the US

Honestly, It wasn't the winged shell I disagreed with, it was the handicap that spun me the wrong way.

In MK64, you could get the blue shell even if you were in first (Which was awkwards because now you couldn't use an item) Also, if you were in last, you had a greater chance of getting better items, but you could still get any item at any position/place.

The online was great in the Wii, and this installment seems to be MK Wii + MK DS + better infastructure modes.

With the update coming out, will DLC be possible for the 3DS? I have no doubt in my mind the Vita will have it eventually. I wouldn't mind a retro circuit of every rainbow rode

If every other Nintendo console (minus VB) can play handheld games, does this mean we will be able to play DS games on the WiiU?

I should think so!

I'd much rather prefer sales on a regular basis.
Steam is a perfect example of an electronic distribution system. Regular sales, price cuts, making a game free for a few days.

Nintendo's still playing catchup in this part simply because they neglect it.

I'd advise people to get this when it comes down to 30$ :/
It's not a bad game by any stretch, in fact it's good. But not good enough to justify the 40$ proce tag they slapped on it. I feel a little ripped off.

Still, helps pass the times on the road and such very well.

I was a little...worried about the voice acting at first. I thought it would be kind of annoying and whatnot. Although I was pleasantly surprised when I first heard the voice acting. It sounded natural, not at all forced.

I got this game when it came out because I didn't really like what the 3DS had to offer. I don't regret it at all.

If you've played the original, I wouldn't pay any more than 20-30$ But if you haven't, this is the game that will hold your attention until SM3DL comes out. It will still hold your attention after SM3DL comes out.

"I guess I should be thankful..."
...
Some one had to do it...
Anyway, references aside, I really am pleased. I really didn't think it'd do that well to be honest. The whole warhammer 40k (Which is another really awesome series) started in the UK if I'm not mistaken. It's no wonder that game succeeded

Yeah, more NES games would be cool, but I'd only care for the noteworthy ones. Having old games is nice, but I'd just end up playing the new games of today, far more often.

It seems the VC's library is only a fracton of its' audience's size. I'm sure they will start releasing NES games for the 3DS VC, but not for a while. For now, I'll be content with Zelda et Metroid, and soon I'll be content with Mario 3D Land et Mario Kart 7.

Release dates would be nice.
Demos in the E-shop would be nicer.

What was that company that kept adding to their devices? It was sometime in the 90's...They were Nintendo's main competitor...Gosh the name escapes me...

Sarcasm aside, this makes me really nervous. If first party games use the peripheral, I think I might go back to PC gaming entirely. I know we will get a great game for this, I just don't know if we will get more than that one.

OOOooooh I see what Nintendo did here. "Yeah yeah, you can download them September 1rst..."
Clever Nintendo. It worked though, I love you more now

Thanks for the games btw.

@4
That's how I buy my steam games. And my VC games

Actually just so we can maybe end the wave of complaints

The game was actually called "Mike Tyson's punch out" They'd have to change the game, and I don't know what Nintendo's rights are on that game. First party only folks.

I'll be downloading all of them. Because we get coins for them at ClubNintendo

I'd be more than satisfied with LoZ 1 & 2 and Metroid.

Everything else is a bonus to me.

I'm kinda worried with regards to AR. On some surfaces, it just keeps jutting out. Hopefully the AR experience with be a smooth one.

I'll get this day 1 or 2, but I'd almost rather just have the gameboy version on the VC.

Could they even fit online support into the cartridge?

Oh well, this is why Nintendo needs to have updates and DLC

I think they got a little carried away with the zero-suit.

I want a power suit action figure. Though I'd rather use club nintendo points rather than real money.

I feel like only 3rd party developers would utilise this sort of thing.

The biggest question I have though is how it'll work. The only two slots this system has is the cartridge slot, and a charging port. Unless they plan to stick it in the memory stick space.

Obviously Mario is missing is the very best.

@6 I thought Square Enix produced Supreme commander(s). I thought those were pretty good.

Kind of reminds me of world of warcraft. I have a feeling this is going to be a game were it really shines in multiplayer, but not much else. To me that is fine; I'd like a nice multiplayer experience on the 3DS, it keeps the replayability factor high. My biggest fear at this point would be lag though. I hope it's quite minimal.

The tricky part with the metroid series is the storyline. How a game is played will depend largely on the story, which isn't usually a problem for Zelda and Mario titles.

Read about in Nintendo power, hopefully the price tag is acceptable.

@ 12. I concur. I always thought those controls would feel more natural on a hand held. It would have been great if we could have gotten a port of Doom or quake onto the DS. Insane multiplayer potential there.

I remember getting prime way back in 2002 and not having any idea what to do.

I started it up again and while I understand where to go and what tot do most of the time, I forgot that prime is really hard.

As long as I can use my Mii's in Mario Kart 7, I'll be happy.

It'd be cool to have a dungeon crawler with Mii's though, especially if you could connect via introweb and dungeon...crawl...with your friends.

I prefer virtual console games as opposed to 3DSware. 3DS ware doesn't do it for me as of now.

I'd have like to try the amazing mirror, it sounds like a good game, but the fact it didn't make the cut isn't too much of a downer for me. In fact I'm pretty pleased that SMB 3 advanced was 'cut' I like the NES version, I don't really want a GBA version.

Also, we can begin speculating again as to what games will make the list.

By air? I'm a little iffy about that method of transportation.
Anyway, these screenshots are making the wait easier for me

Most DLC on the computer = Yay!
Most DLC on consoles = :/ Mreh...

@193

You just need to to connect to the e-shop prior to August 12th.

I hadn't made the connection that it will only be first party titles. My apologies. But then again, it instantly filters down what's most likely to be on the list. I'd be perfectly happy with
(I think these are first party ones, they're all first in the series)
Dragon Warrior
Final Fantasy
Mach Rider (I have a sneaking suspiscion this will make the list as it was an original launch title)
Metroid
Lastly, I still want rad racer. Funny thing is, I've heard if you press select while playing on an NES, it goes 3D. Red and blue lines appear, so this also wouldn't surprise me if we got this. If we did, my money's on it being in the THIRD DIMENTION!
IT'S LIKE i CAN TOUCH YOU!

@ 160.

NES cartridges are extremely primitive when compared to today's standard. I can't imagine a game with more than like, 50 Kb. Unless they update them of course.

I'm pretty sure that you have a problem storing all of those lovely free games on your system.

Personally I hope they limit it to a 'one game per franchise' thing. I love both zelda 1 and 2, but I don't want both of them, especially if it takes up a slot.
Castlevania
Dragon Warrior
Tetris
Contra (Co-op on that game would be godly)
Lastly, either a 3D capable Rad racer, or Ninja Gaiden.

@ 27
I don't think that 3 million units moved is that bad considering the launch titles were meager.
The only thing happening to Nintendo would be them getting a little embarassed about the whole launch snaffoo.
The idea of them pulling the plug on the 3DS is ludicrous. That would cause an uproar, this is nothing. The 3DS is a slow burner, it won't go out for a loooooong time.

@4
I'd buy it if he had a stereotypical british voice, I think Britains awesome!
I'd rather have that as opposed to some, awkward, nearly pre-pubecent voice we're gonna get.

@13
I'd have to agree with you. I think most of the 'fans' of the original didn't even have an NES when they were kids.

I think the reason for it being limited for sale in Japan is due to the fact that these guys developed Harvest Moon.
That's like the equivalent of Disney making a porn movie, it'd be a bust.

The only thing I want is final fantasy tactics advance.

That game=the reason I played GBA.

I sort of have that twisty feeling in my stomach right now.
I boutght a 3DS, about an hour ago. Thankfully, the futureshop I was at was having some sale and marked the 3DS down to 199.99 for 3-4 days.
So on that front I'm glad I saved some money anyway. I am also really looking forward to the NES and GBA titles.

Well I am a bit peeved about still paying an extra 30 bucks for mine, to me 30 dollars isn't that much of a difference. My heart goes out to the early adopters, 80 dollars is (whistles) a lot.

My prevailing opinion though is that now I think Nintendo has a sense of humor. Now the PSP Vita with be 249.99, and the 3DS 169.99. This alone will turn so many people towards good ol Nintendo.
Also, if you have an after school/ part time job, you'll make up the difference in no time.

It's a wonder they just didn't say "We are sorry for the cancellation of the upcoming Mega Man game. Thank you for all of your support"

Was it really that hard?

No Canada...

Sad face

I'm in between evolution and revolution. But not when I look at Nintendo, but when I look at it's competitors.
For instance, what will be the next big draw people to buy the PS4? Or Xbox? Better graphics? Well okay, maybe. But if you want the best graphics (Say it with me now) you play games on a computer.

I like Nintendo because they give me an experience, I can't get on the PC. The XBOX is held up by FPS's which is fine, and the PS3 has a few little numbers that set it upart from its friends(?) But the experience I can get from an Xbox/PS3 I can get from my lovely overpowered beast. Alas Nintendo makes games that would feel awkward on any other system, but it feels right at home on their's.

I'd like to think, people are getting smarter. People don't want to shell out money for a slightly updated thing that feels exactly the same as the last thing they shelled out money for. If the WiiU wasn't different, why would you bother with it at all? Change is good, that's always been Nintendo's strongpoint.

Just for the record.
Portal is sort of an FPS.
First person, and you have a gun, that shoots portals.

TBH, FPS's (on the good ol faithful PC) are pretty friggin good. Look at Borderlands, or TF2. They both Look, sound, and play well. A PC FPS has to be memorable or else it's quickly out of sight.

I'm sure with the WiiU's interesting ehhh control scheme, some pretty creative will come out in the waning years. But people foolishly waggling their little analog nubs, I'm afraid that's here to stay.

Don't worry though, COD is running out of wars to use XD

The statement "Jump scares" to me implies that the majority of the game will be creepy, but not pulse increasing.
I think a handheld games can be scary (Dementium full volume with headphones was done nicely) but after a while, you just kind of get used to it and the shock just...vanishes.

Maybe that's just because I stomached through the Penumbra's and Amnesia's though. Those game are scary. Mainly because you're gunless. It's not that scary if you can just turn the monstrosity in front of you into swiss cheese.

The P-Wing that let's you fly for the entire stage. Think of it like no-clip but in Mushroom kingdom.
The Invisa-cap would also be a nice luxury on the less forgiving of stages.

I'm not terribly excited I'm afraid.
I don't mean to rain on your parade but honestly, I don't see this game getting anything higher than 6/10 or 7/10.

I'd like to know how kid-I mean user- friendly are you going to get?
I read a little about this game in Nintendo Power and I think they threw base building out the window.
That's fine, it's certainly possible to have a fun game without it (See Dawn of War 2) but what will we be doing if we're not building a base? Also;
-How long can we expect each game/match to be.
-Multiplayer right? If not that's really going to take the replay value down for me,
-If there will be a multiplayer component, will there be any different modes other than the usual conquest mode?

Those would be my questions if I spoke to any developing RTS personel.

Very good Capcom, you can sit down now.

Personally, I'd love to see some of the replies that NL sent them. I think you guys would do a *ahem, respectable reply?

@2 I assume you're trolling hard, or at least that's how you will play it off.
If you want to play an FPS, use a mouse and keyboard.

Anyway that said, the problem is it's good by Wii standards. Unless an FPS has a good story or interesting mechanics, it'll be forgotten quickly because huge titles like COD are releasing a new game every year.
For the wii this game is good, but if you compare it to anything else...

Five was maybe more of a punch than a slap, but I can see why they had poke it in the first place.

I would almost imagine it would increase piracy. Oh the irony.

But back on the rage. The reason for all of the anger and comments in all caps is because it's cheeky on capcoms part. People don't really feel like they own all of the game. People want to do whatever they want with whatever data and by doing this Capcom is effectively deciding what you can do with what you've purchased.
Capcom just did something rude, and it doesn't feel good when people are rude to you. I imagine thats what the anger sparks from.
