So very very double butt.

Slap it on the eShop. I'm down for it.

My son barely touches his 3DS ever since I got him an iPhone. That will surely change when we both get the new Pokémon game, but other than that he is not interested in any thing other than the hundreds of free terrible games on his phone.

SO I kind of have to agree with Pachter on something. Makes me feel a bit dirty actually.

Portable Sonic 3 and Knuckles in 3D? Yes please. Platforming heaven.

I want the 3DS to be hacked, but only to make them region free, so I can still buy games and the makers still get my money. But it can't ever happen.

I hope it goes on the eShop because I bet it will be hard to find in Australia.

yep im excited.

I got Wild World in a bundle with my first DSlite, and I have to say I just didnt get it, but I think I will give this a go. I'll have the eShop version. I seem to be playing my 3DSXL more than I ever did with my DS systems. And I think it has to do with having so many games just on there without having to change carts. Of course if this keeps up I will have to start carrying around SD cards instead.

I expected better of Sega. I suppose it makes them a true third party now. Release a port of an old game, have it be inferior, and then complain that it doesn't sell. Stinks like EA a bit too much for me. I hope their Sonic game is good.

Is there a EU release date? Or am I getting confused with the Devil Summoner game that's coming in September..?

Just waiting on a 32gb SD card before I jump in and get DKCR3D. And Fire Emblem. My 8gb card is almost full of so many eShop games.

I am a big Kirby fan. I would totally get this if it was coming to PAL regions, Maybe take to Miiverse to see if Nintendo will listen?

I give the guy props. I downloaded it and gave up about 2 mins into the game.

Years ago. But cool none the less.

This was a brilliant read. Thanks NL for showing there is still some enthusiasm for positive Nintendo news. And Like many of you, my 3DS is my go to system of choice. I play it every day.

Fast never came to Australia. I'm hoping the next one will.

Sonic Generations was excellent too. Its hard to go back to the non HD Colours and play it after playing Generations.

I wish my PS3 was backwards compatible. So many games I cant play any more since my PS2 broke.

I never bothered trying to get the BC to work on my 360. I didn't have many original xbox games any way.

I really hope Microsoft tanks it with this Xbox One. This isn't some fanboy rant, I've owned both previous Xbox's and they haven't delivered anything to me at all besides a spare console for my son and his friends to play on in a different room. Pay to play online? No thanks. Shooter after shooter after shooter? no thanks. And now we have TV TV TV plus shooters plus always online plus games not being able to be played on other consoles. NO THANKS. I hope it tanks and leaves the rest of the market to the PS4 and Wii U.

i want a few new franchises.

Would rather Megadive games. Still a pipe dream for Saturn games.

Is a WWE game not coming really a big deal to Wii U owners? I don't even understand why this pseudo sport is even popular in the first place. But it obviously is despite my extremely low opinion of it, but how many Wii U owners would be fans of it? I'm hoping that the answer is not many, as I would like to think us Wii U owners are a bit more classy.

Really would have liked Nintendo, a leading family entertainment company, make a stand and keep the game as it is, or even add female-female marriage. It's almost a perfect real world metaphor. Just like parents of gay children, Nintendo as developers didn't expect their game to turn out the way it did, but they should still be proud and stand by their game, as any good parent would do, not try and patch it out. That sends a horrible message.

i dont think a game like this can survive a retail release. its too niche. Still im interested if it ends up going cheap on the eShop.

a bit late to be doing dsiware games.

So many Sega games i want released.

its a reported rumour.

and will probably turn out true.
if only nintendo would start their Wii U game roll out.

i need games. good ones.

Glad that it's coming. Maybe I will get the game then when there is proof that it is going to be supported properly.

I was really looking forward to this. Shame about the severe difficulty. I have not the patience or skill to deal with this level of overly Nintendo hard.

Maybe, just maybe, there just isn't enough games around. There would be if third parties jumped on board. I had quite a few Sega games on my Wii. Where are the Sega games now?

This fall. Really helpful to Australians.

Do want this game. In Australia.

Not looking forward to E3 really. But I still look forward to Nintendo Direct. So it's a win for me, but I'm already a Nintendo fan, with the latest Nintendo consoles. Getting info to the average consumer... That's the downside of not doing a major E3 conference.

It could come with a cost to quality, but it could also lead to some excellent DLC to last us a long time into the title and Wii U's lifespan.

This is why we need a 3DS Miiverse. Imagine taking to the Japanese game sections to show which games we are interested in just like what happened with Earthbound. Tomodachi for the west!!!

We need the Japanese games released here. Western devs and publishers by and large don't want to support Nintendo's consoles. I hope that more come. I really do. I don't know if having Iwata as CEO is going to help that cause though.

Disappointing that's for sure. Not going to be buying anything until there is something that hasn't been on there before. Like for instance, Earthbound. Also, there hasn't been any talks about Sega games appearing. They were a good supporter of the Wii VC, but they stopped supporting the 3DS pretty quickly. So little chance of seeing some Saturn and Dreamcast VC let alone MS and MD games. And of course, still no Gamecube games announced. Very underwhelming. If Earthbound was coming at the start, nearly all could be forgiven, but without it, it's a boring rehash of old tired games, save perhaps SMW.

If I won't be playing online, and couldn't care less about the iOS unlockable stuff, is this version worth getting? I have a ps3 and 360, so which version is the best graphically? I want to support 3rd party games on Wii U but would it be wise to support the "gimped" version? I loved the MK reboot game. So I was looking forward to this. I don't know what to do. Advice?

No, but I believe them to be an important part of the overall score. They are perfectly serviceable, and look just fine on the Gamepad, but blown up on my 64" TV things get real bland real fast. And I didn't knock the gameplay. I said it was top notch. I just said I wouldn't give it an 8. I'd definitely give it a 7. And I like this game.

Good review. I would rate it highly too, however an 8 would be too high for my liking, purely for the whole flash game like graphics. It's just too basic. But gameplay wise it's top notch.

This is the rubbish that western publishers think we want, when there are great games in Japan just waiting to be translated and released to the west. Japanese games might not be the big thing on home consoles any more, but in the handheld market, they beat just about every other western devs efforts hands down.

Well that's great for countries and places that have unlimited data. The only broadband available to me where I live is wireless, and I have a 12GB data limit per month. It's quite poo. I'm sure these cards might be a good idea in Japan and the US, but its not so good for outback Australia.

It is actually quite fun. It does look a bit cheap though. But it didnt cost very much at all, and is fun to play.

I'll be playing in the so called casual mode. I don't even know if I will be picking up DKCR3D because as much as I enjoyed the original on Wii, it was just way too hard for me that I gave up and never completed it. I don't think having extra lives is going to change it. Having levels that dont rely on memory (mine cart stages) would make it easier for me and far less frustrating. While I don't want games to be a walk in the park, if a game is too irritatingly hard, I wont finish it, and I wont buy into the series again. Same if a game is too easy. I really wish just about every game had an easy, medium and hard mode. There are so many games that I give up on because they get too hard.

i would love a podcast. NL is my fave Nintendo site. Im here daily.

I hope it's not Star Fox unless its truly epic. I think what Nintendo needs is some kind of 3D action adventure game series. Not like Mario, something more like Uncharted, but less realistic, something really Nintendo-y with an epic story. Like Star Fox adventures, but actually good. And not Metroid either. Something new.

It was a great Nintendo Direct in my opinion. But there still seems to be something missing, and of course, Mario overload. That said, Nintendo are going to send me broke this year. Especially if they start releasing games of this calibur and this quality and quantity for the Wii U.

Stellar job with the 3DS Nintendo. And for listening to the fans by releasing Earthbound to the Wii U VC. Well played. Now just ramp up the Wii U games and kick butt.

What can we Miiverse Bomb them for next? New F-Zero? Less Mario? Captain Rainbow? Lol

How can we be excited for all these tired old games? Where is the Gamecube games?
