booooooooooooooooo. No New Zealand stops. That being said when the 3DS was touring they had two NZ stops but they didn't happen. At least they are not promising something that wont happen.
don't just start marching; start muscle marching! Brilliant trailer.
One of the quirkiest moments was when my friend's kid hit the coffee table so hard bowling with wii sports that it took a chunk out of the wiimote. Good old spacial retardedness.
doesnt matter if they find a partner for europe because it wont be tranferable to NZ. Even if they get a partner in Australia it still probably wont be useable in NZ even though we come under NoAu. Why does Nintendo hate supplying NZ with services? [End rant]
If Nintendo does not own the IP of ED it should buy SK, keep the staff (minus Dyack) and get the IP. That being said a sequel will never live up to the original; that game was amazing (my favourite gamecube game).
I have spent more on games for the wii than possibly all my other systems of the past combined. I have bought more retail games for the wii that any other system (It is possible however that I have more games for my N64; I am talking about for the actual console not VC on the wii. I am not going to count them up for the purposes of this post though) and when you add VC and wiiware purchase the total is mind boggling. The wii also gave me the chance to play SNES games. The SNES is the only nintendo generation I missed; my parents got me a NES but failed to buy me a SNES when the next generation came out. Shame on them. Then the 64 was the first home console I purchased with my own money (the first console I bought was the GB) so I completely missed the SNES. So for that alone I love the wii.
@Wheels2050 have you been on a conference call with 10 individuals all using speaker mode on their phones? If you have you would understand the reason for this choice.
I am going to be treating my ebgames premium preorder like a layby (layaway) even though they don't offer it. There is no way I will pay it all by launch, but there is no maximum time they will keep it for; so I will just pay it off at my leisure.
I missed out on the black wii, I am not going to miss out on a black wiiu (I do wish there was a yellow wiiu at launch though black is the next best thing).
I am not a huge fan but I was looking forward to the anniversary. Bad move Capcom, bad move. They keep treating fans like this, they will go under. One of these days they will calculate the cost of screwing us over and hopefully change their ways.
it appears to be the NSMB2 DLC. I don't know since I don't have the game (saving all money for WiiU). But that's what the Nintendo direct mini is about. I wanted more GBA games [cries].

Oh yeah, WAIKATO HAS THE RANFURLY SHIELD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go the mighty Mooloo! (the Ranfurly Shield is the most important piece of silverware in NZ provincial rugby. More important than the provincial championship title, because it is rare to get a challenge for it) Take that Taranaki. I AM SO HAPPY This will be the last post with a happiness component.
that would be cool if this happens. @bluecat You made me flash back to Superman the movie. Swell [chuckles to himself]

We will get it 3 years down the track. Still no sign of the DSi version, I don't expect to see this.

I love everything about SMS except the fact that you basically have to finish every every shine in every level to get to the end boss. It didn't have the "do it your own way" mentality that is prevalent in the 3D marios. I love the way you can choose where to get the required stars etc for the final boss in the other 3D SMs.
I have never finished a final fantasy game. I own a whole heap of the main cannon and two tactics but I always get distracted from...................................................... oh look another game.
for single player MKDS is my favorite. The choice of retro courses was superb (especially Moo Moo Farm; I don't know why I love it, but I do. It's just so bizarre). The character roster is also superior (go ROB!). Snaking ruined multiplayer, but I don't buy a portable game for multiplayer as the top priority.
BFD was the first game I bought through the internet. It was in the beginnings of modern online game stores.
This is one of my all time favorite games. It is one of the saddest things about the dissolution of the old rare staff, that we will likely never see a sequel on any system (and if we do, it will be a very pale imitation of the original). I mean all modern day Rare could muster was a graphical make over of the original with online play. It is also a shame that Nintendo don't own conker.
I am the great mighty poo, and I'm going to throw my [something] at you!
every time me and my friend would rent out N64 games, Rogue Squadron was always among them. We would alternate driving level to level. I love the series, and own them all (the cooperative rogue leader levels in RS3 are so much fun; much more difficult though).
I am playing through the mirrored master quest in LoZ:OoT3D. I have played through master quest many times before, but not mirrored. I didnt think mirrored would make such a difference, but it does (especially biggorons sword). Just finished the water temple: so much fun, especially the puzzles that lead to the golden sculltula(s) (what is the plural of sculltula? Is it like Raccoon, where both Raccoons and Raccoon are correct?). The water temple is usually my favorite dungeon in Zelda games; as I love thinking laterally, and the water temple is usually the most lateral.
I finally got Turok 3 recently, it was so rare. The funnest thing was picking a dumb character and using cerebal bore, or picking a fire resistant character and picking a lava level
the review should have been comparing it to other GB games or other eshop titles, NOT the PS version. It was never going to stack up.
Can someone give an opinion based on the game on its own? Also does anyone have both the dsi version and this? which is better? Also is the dsiware worth 30% more in terms of cost?
This would be a money making scheme. I bet you that if a zelda game was split into 3 they wouldn't be a third of the price. So much of what makes zelda zelda would be lost in an episodic format.
it is not the launch lineup that is the problem; but what comes after launch. The people that buy at launch buy anyway. I bought a ds game at the launch of the 3ds

The thing I am looking forward to the most in rayman legends is not the 5 player; it's the musical stages. They are really cool.
