@gojiguy FINALLY, someone with sense about it. Yeah, I wish there was a Best Buy closer to me holding this, but I'm not gonna get mad about it. I completely agree with you.
I was able to get a Gold Mario after standing around my nearby Walmart for three hours before it was officially for sale. I'll probably wind up getting a Silver one, it depends.
It's my birthday, and while the Splatoon demo we got isn't exactly what I was hoping for, it's still awesome. Hopefully it entices me to pre-order the game once I'm able to actually play it.
I can understand their reasoning for doing this, but at the same time it'd be nice to play an offline demo so I can at least have some time to adjust to the game's controls and see if it's something I'd enjoy playing. Whether my money goes to a pre-order or not will be determined by how the demo is.
@JaxonH "And I do recall people complaining every single time a virtual console game released for a system that was on the WiiShop. Now that they've moved on to GBA, DS, and Wii (and broke ground on N64 which was another huge complaint, even though it's not new), I noticed people start complaining that Nintendo is not releasing SNES games. But when they were releasing SNES games, it was all "move on to something new already". So I really feel like people are going to complain regardless of what happens."
Something tells me this would make my hard drive wear out faster. Seeing as how mine seems to work fine without any of the choppiness and what-have-you, I'll keep mine how it is.
Was planning on getting the 3DS version on the eShop, but now knowing a physical release is on the way, I'll get that and support Yacht Club for making such an amazing game!
@rjejr I agree 100% with this statement. I've been looking for Villager ever since these things came out, but there's no way I'm shelling out as much money as these folks want for them.
I happened to win a free code for this on Twitter, and it's amazing. Very well-made game despite all the exploring needed to figure out where to go next.
I remember getting Rumble U, then stopped playing after I couldn't find any of the real-life figures. Unless this one gets good reviews I'll probably avoid it.
Since pretty much every member on Nintendo Life has given their wish-lists I may as well throw my hat into the ring too.
-Mario Kart 8 DLC Pack 2
-Mewtwo DLC release date
-Splatoon release date
-More info about Devil's Third
-Release date/window for Xenoblade Chronicles X
-Yoshi's Woolly World release date
-Trailer/Gameplay footage of Star Fox
-Of course, as much info about the new Zelda as I can get
I'm in no shape to get my hopes up about N64 games on Wii U Virtual Console anymore. Not to be a cynic, but Nintendo would have released some already if it was ever seriously part of their plans. And yeah, I know on that site of theirs it said they were "coming soon," but it was way too long ago. Nintendo seriously dropped the ball with their handling of the VC on Wii U.
Oh, and until Nintendo figures out their amiibo stock issues here in NA, I'm done with those things. I've basically come to terms with the fact I'll probably never get my hands on a Ness amiibo... though I'll sure as heck try.
I've been playing this for the last couple of days. I've got it saved just before the final battles. Then I saw this and now I feel like finishing it off.
Anyone who has never played this wonderful game needs to get it. Worth every cent.
I'm leaning towards OlliOlli, but for those that have played it... how is it? I'm always on the fence about skateboarding titles. I saw a preview for it this morning and it looks cool, but I'm curious about what players think of it.
And if not OlliOlli, probably Tengami since I hear lots of good about it.
As someone who hates the F2P model, I actually really enjoy playing this. I have no beef with taking breaks after playing in short bursts. In fact, my only complaint would involve the lack of 3D--but for a game like this you don't really need it. Shuffle is a lot of fun.
On Wednesday I noticed my Club Nintendo account said the CD shipped. I'm wondering when it shipped though? I never received a shipping confirmation. Either way, in addition to a Mega Man amiibo and a Wii remote I'm already expecting I guess I can look forward to this showing up soon too!
So if you didn't receive an email, it's worth checking your Club Nintendo account to see if it shipped.
Oh, this sounds awesome! One of these would surely make my New 3DS XL last way longer and--sees price tag--Well, I guess I can deal with my current battery!
I was really hoping we would get Kirby's Return to Dream Land like Europe this week. I dig the style of Rainbow Curse, but I'm one of the few that didn't really enjoy Canvas Curse so I was hoping to play Return to Dream Land. Oh well, we'll probably get it eventually.
Other than that I'll probably give the Citizens of Earth demo a try.
The launch discounts for Wii games were limited promotions, of course it's not gonna be 10 right off the bat.
With that said, even though NA is getting Rainbow Curse this week I still hope NA gets Return to Dream Land as well. I'm one of the Kirby fans that didn't like Canvas Curse, so I don't see how I'll enjoy Rainbow Curse either.

Re: Rumour: Customisable Mii Fighter amiibo Could Be On The Way
I love the concept, but I too think it's fake.
Re: Nintendo Download: 21st May (Europe)
If you don't already own Epic Yarn, GET IT! Such a fun game, and for an awesome price.
Re: Wii U and 3DS Continue Improved Sales in the US, as Xenoblade Chronicles 3D Misses NPD Top 10
I have to side with @Peach64 here. These Wii U sales numbers are dreadful.
Re: Silver Edition Mario amiibo Hits North American Stores on 29th May
@Porky Well, okay, but if there's a stinkin' Bronze Mario I'm done.
Re: Nintendo Download: 14th May (North America)
New Super Mario Bros.!
Re: New Super Mario Bros. Releases On The North American Wii U eShop This Week
I'll definitely be downloading this!

Re: Nintendo and Universal Studios Announce Theme Park Partnership
My dreams are finally coming true!
How about a mine-cart roller-coaster based on Kirby's Great Cave Offensive? I think that'd be neat!
Re: Nintendo Download: 30th April (North America)
Amiibo Tap and the Puzzle + Dragons demo for me. I'll get Paper Mario as soon as I have some cash.

Re: Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures on 3DS is "All Done" and Awaiting Approval
@Mogster Like Seanmyster6 said, no voices. However, it's still a thoroughly enjoyable game. Just be prepared to die. A LOT.

Re: Nintendo Working on Patch for Mewtwo Glitch That Blocks Online Play, Confirms 3DS Modes to Avoid
I've done Classic, Trophy Rush and Smash Run on my 3DS version using Mewtwo and never had a problem. This is strange.

Re: Weirdness: Street Fighter's Ryu is Now Being Rumoured as Future DLC in Super Smash Bros.
We should have Guile instead because, y'know, Guile's Theme goes with everything.
Seriously though, I'd be open to Ryu in Smash.

Yeah it's all a bunch of BS, but I'm still gonna get this and have a blast with it.
Re: The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth Developers Talk About its Long eShop Approval Process and Why it's Not Coming to the Original 3DS
I'm glad it's finally being released on a Nintendo console, for sure.
Re: Video: Using amiibo With Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker

Re: Masahiro Sakurai Reportedly Promises That Mewtwo Super Smash Bros. DLC is Coming "Pretty Soon"
@CAM290 If you've got both versions and want Mewtwo for free, yes. Otherwise, Mewtwo will be available as paid DLC.

Re: LEGO The Hobbit DLC Trilogy Expansion No Longer Planned for Release
Well, at least it's not just Nintendo fans getting shafted for DLC this time. But still, that's disappointing.
Re: Video: What If Super Mario World Was A 3D Classic?
I'd love to see the original Star Fox, Earthbound, and Chrono Trigger like this.

Re: Meme Run Disappears from the Wii U eShop
FUN FACT: If you go to their website, and click the link under Meme Run that says "Free PC/MAC download," you'll get rick-rolled.

Great review!

I didn't even know I could do that on my New 3DS until I checked this out. Thanks for teaching me something new! Looked awesome with the 3D effect.
Re: Nintendo Download: 26th February (North America)
I'll be getting Donkey Kong Country 3 since that's the only one I don't own yet. Great week for Virtual Console!

Re: Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze Appears to Have a Miiverse Achievement System That Was Scrapped
They should have included them! I love the Miiverse achievements in Hyrule Warriors.
Re: Flipnote Studio 3D Has Been Delayed Once Again as Club Nintendo Site Goes Into Maintenance
I'm one of the few that's willing to be patient. I'm just glad we're finally getting it.
