@rjejr I don't think the ND were failures at all. I think your reasoning that they failed as advertising to help the WiiU sell is correct, they didn't help it sell much more as they aren't viewed by the general public. But they were never supposed to be advertising, they were a medium to deliver news to the fans and to the media, something they were very successful doing. As @ShikabaneHime13 said almost every gaming website was abuzz with speculation before they were aired and after they were aired the fans were usually riding the hype train to hypeville. The were a super way of giving people news whilst building hype and support at the same time. So I don't think they are at all a failure

Thats the last time I'm buying from GAME, that email could have been sent on Monday, but I was left with very little knowledge of the situation for 3 days! What do I get for my troubles - nothing! Appalling customer service!

GAME has stung me to many times now- I think its time I started buying elsewhere

Hmm, my order said it was canceled due to payment problems (but i my account) , I ordered another. That said it was cancelled too and now both have been dispatched :/ I only went with GAME for the preorder bonus

@ianolivia
glad to see that amazing contribution :/

@Aurumonado btw Korra is bi, also J.K Rowling didn't just 'make' Dumbledore gay once the books had finished, she'd written him as gay the whole time

Woop Woop! This makes me happy! I loved the game anyway but I'm definitely gonna pick it up now! And to all the people hating just pretend its a "Big Ol' Straight Masculine Kiss™" and they're "Just Friends".
But in all seriousness if your not going to buy a game because of one kiss I really do question your sanity- I mean I could kinda understand if they were doing anal, but a kiss... come on!

@RupeeClock I'm in the exact same position!! I was waiting for the coin and snapped it up immediately, but now I'm not sure how to spend the rest of my 5000 or so coins! I think I might wait it out and see if they have a sale like NA did.

Loved both games, and they're so cheap I almost feel like I'm stealing from the developer

@OddworldCrash haha, thats pretty much my sentiment too, its soooo annoying to see an exciting headline, get hyped just to spot "only in North America" at the bottom

This was the first Kickstarter I backed and I was already unbelievably excited but now my hype levels are through the roof! It will be really interesting to see how many third party/ indie devs incorporate amiibo into their games! 😃

If it has the open world and adds to the characters in the last LEGO Marvel game I'm in, if not I'll stick with what I've got!

I would be more than fine with this coming to over consoles! I pick this up day one at the launch of the WiiU (I got the ZombiU bundle!) and loved it. The thing I hate most is that whenever I talk to people about it they just dismiss it as a gimmicy WiiU game.
Nintendo had its years of exclusivity and it didn't sell amazingly, I don't think Ubisoft are doing anything wrong by finally porting it over to other places- I just wonder how they'lll make the gamepad features work, especially the multiplayer!

I already had Stealth Inc, but this promotion definitely pushed me over the edge to buy all the others (I've know that they were great but shorter games and was waiting for a sale like this!). Currently downloading now!

@ikki5 haha I thought not Only in my dreams...

Aww not for Europe Does this mean that you guys in NA can stop saying that Europe gets better stuff now

Would it hurt to make it a bit more colourful?? the video just looks dark and ugly!

hmm I wonder if the multiplayer will work, Mario vs. Luigi is definitely some of the most fun I've had with multiplayer in games! And the minigames were quite good too

Wow, this looks fast! And I thought 150cc was tough!

@Zach777 Themes should be free?? -_- If people have to put effort into designing and creating something then they have the right to charge for it!

@Nintendofan83 perhaps its just me, but surely the people who think its too much effort to get an extra memory card probably won't be the people who wil be downloading a game anyway. This is a retail title too so any clueless parents will probably buy the game physically

@Poketendo I highly doubt that he'll be that cheap! Tbh I would expect a price tag of about £/$/€ 5 because they can get away with charging that much

@EvisceratorX hmm maybe its just I consider gigantic games like CoD and Assassins Creed to be AAA, and although Captain Toad is quite nice to look at I don't really see it in the same league as Shadow of Mordor or Smash Bros for example.

Was Captain Toad really a AAA title???

Really don't get the hate for this game, the fact that I have not paid a single penny for a fantastic licenced Pokemon puzzle game is amazing! And there really isn't any need to put money towards it either, 5 tries before waiting is perfectly long enough for dip in and out gameplay which fits well with the genre!

@Mercy_Lost I think that if one had the ability to outright purchase the game after a certain point then most people would choose to do so, however this is probably not that desirable to the developers as they would make no where near as much money out of this structure. Also on similar mobile games I've played where a 'buy outright' option has been included they have been selling the game for upwards of £50 which I think is very steep for games like these!

Totally real, imagine how hard it would be to fake a video, screen shots and the 3DS version too!!!

Downloading it as I type, can't wait to play I loved the first one and have been waiting for this since he announced it!

It looks nice but I know that in a few weeks I'll find a source to download it from so it kinda a waste of stars -_-

@snoox I know in Europe at least they have been selling systems without the chargers in box since the launch of the original XL. It baffled me at first but since then retailers are automatically bundling it with a charger anyway, and it means that they system gets a slimmer more stylish box meaning I don't really have a problem with it

@Klimbatize I think its black from the brief video we were shown of it

Whoop woop!, After being messed about by GAME yesterday I finally preordered the MM N3DS XL AND the Skull Kid figurine!!! I was monitoring the online store all day and as soon as it came up I preordered it!

@Frank90 Wait, BravelySecond, was that in the American stream because it certainly wasn't in the European version!

@emiingham I went in store earlier where they took a £20 deposit specifically for the MM version!?! Oh dear

@emiingham what?!? thats not what the guys in store said!?!?!

Boom! Went into my local GAME and preordered the MM LE New 3DS XL!!!

I don't want to judge it too much as I enjoy the genre but what looks a bit like a crap third person shooter isn't a strong end to a Direct

Urgh, so cringe worthy! I definitely liked the second ad more. Although showing them in eight player battle definitely makes me more interested in that mode!

Just moved to Birmingham! I'll have to sign up and give it a go

The way I see it is if they can push the hardware to look and run as good as Smash 3DS does then its worth losing petty features like CPP support and miiverse intergration

@Pigeon Exactly! I only buy downloads from a shop when they have sales on, this system sounds kind of stupid imo
A better system would be allowing us to buy games from the eshop on our phones or through an internet browser whilst on the go i.e. at work etc. Perhaps even allow the 3DS/WiiU to start downloading the game straight away (if its on standby) so its ready for when you when you return.

Eurgh too cheesy! I like the UK commercial better!

@C-Olimar Not sure if Fantasy Life had the DLC day one in Japan when it was released a while back. If not then that fact might excuse it a bit (also it sounds like quite a hefty package for what you pay)

Might pick up Armillo this week - I've heard good things about it.
It goes without saying that I can't wait for Smash Bros next week! Definitely going digital for the 3DS version!

Probably wait until Hyrule Warriors is a bit cheaper (probably go on sale near Christmas) In the meantime DuckTales is finally a reasonable price and I will be able to play the Mercenaries 3D properly for once (First time I picked it up from cex and didn't realise about the perma save file).

@MeWario I feel fine with the current VC offering - there are some games which I wish would come out but if Nintendo released them all at once then I wouldn't have anything to get during the dry spells. I prefer the slow and steady method of release they are using. Just out of interest what VC games do you especially want to see?

Wait- do America not have Marty then?!? I seriously can't imagine a miiverse without Marty!

Absolutely livid! Brought it on 3DS (the system it originated on!) and Wii U, and now they say that it won't come to any nintendo system!!!

@aaronsullivan Having just played it I can confirm that the touch screen on the gamepad is still interactive whilst the pro-controller is being used Image and Form have really got the hang of the WiiU hardware

shame it's not on the EU eshop, I'd like to play it just to see; a) how bad it is, and b) how much they will eventually improve it

@HappyMaskedGuy Hey, personally I like the Call Of Duty games because of the violence, it is a safe medium of escapism which doesn't deal physical damage to anyone, I would never be able to do what I do in CoD in real life so it is fun to be able to do it in a game
