I really want this game, but $13.50 AU is just not right. Most eShop games in Australia are over priced. No eShop 3DS original download software titles should be over $10 AU. I'll get it though as I want to support the developer.
I very rarely buy games that whore themselves around multiple systems. It makes them feel less special when you see that your game can be played by anyone with a PS3/360/Wii/WiiU/PSVita/PSP/3DS/DS.
I'd like a black one but I would also like it to be verticle which unfortunately it isnt. Its going to be tough finding a spot for it next to my TV with the PS3, 360, Wii, Saturn, and Dreamcast all taking up space. Might be time to retire a few.
I want to be excited for Code of Princess but I wont let myself be until a PAL release date. I guess Im most excited for Paper Mario and Luigi's Mansion. I tried the Heroes of Ruin demo today and it is REALLY GOOD!!
The only thing that has me really excited is MiiVerse. Project P100 looks interesting, and I will probably buy Pikmin and NSMBU, i won't be buying Nintendoland, it should be pack in software or cheap eShop software. Minigame complications are what ruined the Wii so I won't have any part of it this generation. I don't like first person shooters, so all the ports aren't impressing me. Scribblenauts Unlimited will have to be different enough from the previous two versions I already own. There was just no surprises, no must have original games. Quite a poor showing all round in my opinion.
Nintendo really needed a big game franchise announcement that would have blown us all away. DKCR was a fair while ago. Unless Retro are working on a Zelda game which will need a few years in development, I don't think any other franchise that Retro would be working on couldn't have been announced and shown. There are some excellent games coming for the WiiU at launch and shortly thereafter, but without a 3D Mario, Zelda, Starfox, Metroid, Fzero, Smash Bros game announced or shown, it was very underwhelming.
I was wondering if the game is a pack in title, that it could only be a few levels or something, with paid DLC of later levels to come. What better way to get mums and dads and grandmas and grandpas to the eShop than a main 2D Mario game. I'm also confident that this Wii U Mario will be fairly complete game if Nintendo go ahead and go this route of DLC. But it would definitely be the way to go. I mean NSMBWii isn't that old, and NSMB2 will be out soon, having this game as a retail game doesn't make much sense. So if it's a pack in, I expect it won't be quite a whole experience, enough to warrant a purchase of a Wii U system and show off it's features, but being a pack in and "free", it should definitely leave people wanting more. Either through free and/or paid DLC levels and characters. It's just my theory. I can't wait to find out one way or another.
I'm totally loving the idea of the MiiVerse. The WiiU game pad looks brilliant, the controller pro looks nice too even though it's basically a 360 controller with different placement of buttons and sticks. Also Non Specific Action Figure is total win on so many levels. I'm hoping he gets his own game and figure release with NFC tech behind it like Skylanders but I know that's a long shot.
Another longshot would be if DQX is shown off for WiiU complete. I would like a showing of it though with a worldwide release date. I was always going to buy a Wii U anyway but now, im really really really excited for it and it's features. And e3 has hardly started yet. Nintendo are going to "win" the show again. Im wishing Nintendo all the luck in the world with Wii U. Everything seems to falling into place quite nicely. If only we were getting a price and release date. I hope it's released sometime in August or September. Again another long shot but I can dream.
For someone like me who rarely plays online due to lag and data limits, but still enjoys DLC and eShop games and VC, this sounds perfect. It also seems like something I would be very happy letting my 12 yr old son get online with, a happy place of Nintendo fans in a MiiVerse all talking and chatting together about popular games. I can't wait to get one of these at launch. Starting to save now.

Re: Project X Zone Rocking Over 45 Music Tracks
This is the sort of game that would have made a headline or two if it was announced for a western release at E3. I really want this game.

Where is the other Samurai game that NA has had for so long? Not fair.
