Why does it say it's out worldwide when it's not? I see other sources claiming this too but it's definitely not in my eShop yet.

I can't believe they mentioned Z: Steel Soldiers but not Z.

@maruse Is it the one they added to the article at the top? I see an enemy type which wasn't in the original version. Although it might be one which was exclusive to the JP version.

Why does no one seem to have these "screenshots" that supposedly show "a 2D title that is in keeping with previous entries in the series"?

That's 4 websites now.

@olrodlegacy I wouldn't worry. Niche titles like this can sometimes take over a year to sell out, assuming you're buying it off the NIS store.

Oh dear...

...

Oh dear...

Compared to something like Clash Royale though, which is ridiculously popular, is it really that bad?

@Grumblevolcano That's the Art Academy series. I'm pretty sure they're talking about the Atelier (Rorona, Totori, etc.) series.

By Atelier games I assume they mean the Vita releases that were skipped? Unless they're talking about the New Atelier Rorona on 3DS we didn't get. All recent main series Atelier games have otherwise had a physical release on console here in the West.

@MitchVogel Natsume ran a poll asking fans which platforms they'd like to see the next Harvest Moon game on the most, and mobile & Wii U came out on top.

@Drac_Mazoku I would assume not. They would still have to go through Pokémon Bank, which is technically moving back a generation.

Kudos for mentioning The Ninja Warriors.

Lucina. Yes.

@Miles_Edgeworth Steelbook, art book and a double sided map/poster. But no soundtrack...

Pretty sure this never saw a European release on the GBA. I asked Natsume on Twitter about a VC release but, no answer...

@rjejr Someone was in a hurry...

@SuperWiiU @scamander An EU release was confirmed a while ago. It's been up for pre-order on Amazon for quite some time now: http://amzn.to/1jQJkcO

For anyone in the EU outside the UK, you can pre-order the SE on the NIS European Store: http://store.nisaeurope.com/

@mystman12 I can almost guarantee you that the only reason this costume is being added is because of the ballot. No way in a million years would they have even considered him otherwise. But yeah, I'm disappointed as well. I voted for him too.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! NO! NO! NO!
NO! NOPE!
NONONONONO! NO!
NOOOOO! NO!
NO!
JUST NO.
NO.

NO.

@DESS-M-8 Because it's the only one in existence.

@ueI What about the advantage of not having to play it on a phone? To me that's worth quite a bit.

"Welcome to the Black Parade" is still one of the greatest songs ever written.

Yes! This is exactly what recent Mario Kart titles have been missing and was the biggest issue I had with MK8, the lack of speed. This looks like it might help bring that back a little.

Oh, it goes way further than that. Even Origin of all places has surpassed them in terms of refunds and customer service. The sheer amount of unfinished/incomplete, bug-ridden games that end up on the front page, some of which completely get to bypass the Greenlight system for no good reason, while other games get denied access without even given a fair chance. 9 out of 10 reviews on Steam are people trolling with their typical "haha, we're mocking IGN" nonsense. And instead of trying to fix that like GoG does, they add a "funny" button, cause that's real helpful, right? I could go on and on why Steam as a platform and Valve as a company have some serious catching up to do. It's just disgusting that they keep getting away with it too.

@DarkKirby Plenty, including myself. GoG beats Steam on every possible level. Ever since Steam opened up the flood gates, they have lost all quality control. Steam is actually one of the least consumer friendly platforms at the moment. It's a complete joke, and it's a real shame the average consumer doesn't seem to realize that.

@DontPlayDumb The Pokémon did. About 100 of them...

Not really. Kind of lost interest in Pokémon as a whole after my entire Bank was wiped without notice. May or may not have been partly my fault, but the least they could have done was given a heads up. Yeah, I'm still pretty annoyed.

@Mr_G I don't get why people make such a big deal out of handheld games being released on home consoles. I think it's great being able to experience them on a big screen for a change. Also, they have a perfectly good reason for doing so. The games are apparently much easier to emulate on Wii U than they are on 3DS.

@AK-1138 "the music's generic"

Apart from Sky Garden being the best and most amazingest song in Mario Kart history, I would probably agree.

@shinokami You'd better not be serious.

@Tempofan Okay, thanks. Yes, I am.

Anyone still looking for a code, this one should still work (UK): A05RX2TK0FPUDKFV

Please let me know if you claimed it.

@Tempofan So the one I e-mailed you is still usable then?

@Tempofan You're welcome. Did you claim the one I e-mailed you or the one I posted above?

I have one more to spare (UK), so I'l just leave it here for someone to grab. First-come, first-served:

A05RHMVN29EXBQSC

Please leave a message if you've claimed it, so you don't waste people's time.

I have two codes to spare, if anyone is still looking. They are UK though, I'm not sure if they'll work for the US.

Oh, thank God! Tanooki Mario, Cat Peach and Dry Bowser, our prayers have been answered...............................................................................

Other than that, pretty awesome stuff. A bit strange to see cross-overs in MK, but I guess it was inevitable.

This looks like it might be worth buying for the title screen alone. Dear God that's pretty... I'm seriously tempted.

The end of en era... wow...

@MagicEmperor Thanks!

This is fantastic news, but I really hope for both the developers and the Wii U that it won't end up being an eShop exclusive.

Aww man. Have a trip planned to Paris in July... Just my luck.

Bejeweled 2 is probably the best game on that list, you know.

@WillhamBoyGeniu Captain Falcon himself hasn't even been announced yet. I wouldn't even be surprised if they don't put him in at all.

Can anyone explain why Talonflame is such a popular choice?

@readyletsgo If they made him playable in Mario Kart Wii then why would that reason stop them from making him playable in Smash?

Wait... box-art? Are they actually giving us a box this time? Holy smokes!

@John-San3 Yet another person who seems to have been misinformed. Is that really all you think PETA is? An organization that goes around promoting vegetarianism just because they think eating meat is "wrong"? Read my post above.

@JusticeColde It has nothing to do with killing. Abuse and killing are two different things. People always seem to miss that point. Also, killing and putting something out of its misery/euthanasia are also not the same. They don't flat out slaughter them to death. Please...

And no, I don't believe this is the right way for getting their point across. They never have been good at targeting an audience. Don't agree with the title of the article however.

@rjejr - The other 3 were released last year actually. Xenoblade was another release within the last 2 years which most assuredly sold well, as did The Last Story. They might not have been system sellers but were successful enough on their own to keep the system very much alive.
