TheAmazingRaccoon

Yay first post in years. Also, who is using my online name in Nintendo mobile games?

I just love the metroid prime log book entries talking about the failed space pirate morph ball technology

Laughed so hard reading the sub title, Monty Python for the win. First post in years, glad to know my account still works.

arrrrrrg. i can't get this because i want to keep my system region free (no nintendo id)

melia from xenoblade chronicles for the win. She would be such a nifty fighter

Just had a weird thought: Mini Kraid (you know the small one before you face the screen filling one) He could fire fingernails and maybe Os. I am still waiting to see him 3d in a metroid game (I am sick of facing ridley over and over and over and over ..... Kraid was the other commander in the space pirate organisation. I mean why wasn't he on the space pirate homeworld?

Will be getting Pandoras tower as it is about $100 cheaper than the retail copy in NZ. If they ever have a raccoon costume I will be all over it, otherwise not really worth the money for something so superficial. i am happy with my free Mewtwo, now bring on roy (fire emblem/ melee)

ROY for the win. he was my go to character in melee. His flaming sword was awesome. I was so annoyed when sissy boy marth transferred to brawl but kick ass roy did not.

It would also be cool to see alex roivas from eternal darkness (my favourite gamecube game) she could use the elephant gun and summon horrors. It is sad that she is probably too violent though (although snake got in brawl)

Also Melia from xenoblade would be a neat strategic character (decide whether you use her ether for buffs in hand to hand, or dispell for ranged combat).

will be getting kirby regardless of no discount. The physical copy is impossible to get in NZ. It will be the same with pandora's tower (which still retails at over $100 in physical form). I think $34 is a minute price to pay for either.

The launch discounts were to encourage you to buy games you already own again. The same number of people do not own kirby, pandora and sin so they can offer them at full and people will still buy.

arrrrrrrrrrrrrg thats annoying. I want to fight kraid in 3d. He got removed from prime and canceled on 3ds. I am sooooooo sick of ridley.

given i live in the black hole of the gaming world, New Zealand, this would be great. I want an nhl game on my post gamecube console(europe only in pal). I still havent registered my nid on my 3DS as it will either lock me out of getting certain games or lock me out of geolocked content.

Is the catrige for donkey kong land yellow in the 3ds icon thingi, like it was for the original cart?

' the emotion and intensity of the world’s greatest sport'
I have never come across an intense football game. yawn

(sorry football fans for dissing your boring sport)

I hate that fifa is the measuring stick in which ea judges success on nintendo hardware. I want nhl games, but it wont happen (even the wii ones didn't make it to nz) unless fifa does extremely well.

EPIC FAIL NINTENDO. Now I have to decide whether I will pay more for small games and forgo using nintendo video on the off chance that some games will be only on the european eshop (and not the NZ)..

Does anyone know if you can unlink a nintendoID once you have linked it to a 3ds? Then I could link and unlink to change region.

21 NZD for assassins creed; jumped on that. Even though I wont get to play it for a while (backlog).

I wonder how much money they have made with people stupidly downloading urban champ

lost the original, along with my nes, in a house fire.

Definitely picking it up

Wow what a week. Shantae and Earthbound.

.............Wishes he was was not a poor student

(I got so excited I didn't finish my pot I started an hour ago)

why did they need a back story for the moon boss? it already made perfect sense: the moon is made of cheese. didnt they put that together? stupid

@Ganzor it is

nintendoland if i get the chance. i will be doing my last assignment for summer school: designing a game

maybe the reason for the delay is that they are struggling with the rights to the songs in the musical stages. still is annoying, it is one of the few third party games i am interested in. the demo was awesome.

30 cents is marvelous for New Zealand. We usually get screwed on the exchange rate and I end up buying from Ireland

that is a very good step forward. We have the rating in New Zealand but are under Nintendo of Australia's umbrella . Hopefully the future is getting r18 games from NoAu rather than NoE (as the club Nintendo codes for Europe don't work (sort this out Nintendo))

not bad.
It would be hilarious to see the NZ sales figures

possibly finishing off wario 2.
I have been replaying metroid prime again, which is my favourite of the prime series (that and zeldas are the most replayed games in my collection). But I am not back home until Sunday night, but I might sneak some in then.

I really want my launch WiiU so I can play that on the weekend. Maybe I should start a charity: the "help The Amazing Raccoon pay off his wiiU relief fund.

Unfortunately I still haven't paid off my WiiU (it pains me to think of a launch WiiU sitting in the back of a store.
That, and a bunch of other stuff stand between me and downloading games

Is the reduced price of Fractured Soul temporary?

YAY! Citizens rejoice!
I'm back.
My biggest concern for my purchases when my 3DS is that Nintendo wont give me back the digital purchases from other regions other than NZ.
The advantage to physical copies is that you can find real gems in the bargain bin.

what? which game has you gunning down little kids? That's pretty thin.

That being said, I may have felt like eating fruit after playing Pacman

Wow. Why do the others even bother turning up?

I'm hopeful

another on bites the dust. How sad

CBFD is my favourite N64 game. It was the perfect storm of insane ideas that made for such a great game. It was my first online purchase. The multiplayer was awesome too. I remember me and my friend playing the beach against the bots (both as squirrels and tediz) for so long we were able to beat it on the max setting. The tediz on the sniper rifle could shoot you in the air at that level so you had to run between shots.

It was a shame it created a craze of platformers with guns that didn't even come close to its awesomeness. Without that crude English humour, movie references and great mighty poo, there is no game that will be anywhere near it.

NZ internet is some of the slowest in the world. Not looking forward to how long it is going to take.
That being said, by the time I pay off my preorder they probably will have ironed out a few of the kinks.

I hope that it requires less effort and time than normal social networking

who are those people?

This is why I am worried about Disney owning Star Wars

Watch out for PETA with an article title like that

awe. some. sauce.

Hopefully the original is released concurrently on the vc.

Hopefully it wont take years to arrive at PAL

Hopefully they have a string error in this one. it was hilarious in RR

3d looks better than original

vote for samus

let down by last one. not expecting much. Possibly laying the groundwork for nintendoID, but not implementing it.

I wish that the wiiu had three generations of direct playability by having GC compatibility. That's what made the GBA so awsome; being able to play 3 generations on one console.

"sticking with Nintendo was basically a moral requirement for us"

great statement

love the +0 on the 3sd one. So true

perdy packaging. Too bad it is limited

my wii is set to europe anyway

Just remembered another unexpected spooky area: the werewolf town in golden sun.

love the snippets of ED throughout.

Changed my halloween avatar to reflect the whole Nintendodeath thing.

What about the old section of Oublie cathedral. Bonethiefs are so creepy, made worse by the fact that you take a huge sanity hit when they burst out.

Totally agree with the zelda ones; Anywhere where ReDead are is all the more creepy; that scream sends shivers down my spine.
