Ok, hotel dusk was epic, last window was great, and for those of you greasing the region lock, please get a emulator and just get the rom for last window. Screw those $60 amazon prices, I went for the best deal, a iOS emulator with thousands of Roms.

GO COOLROM!!!!!!!!!!!

@Hitaki Nice.
I just got this too (for $5 at a pawn shop), so it sucks that I won't be able to play online in a few months. like i said before, its a big company that think of profit, not player satisfaction. just look at Aliens Colonial Marines.

Now, im from canada, and I can say that in Chiliwack, Abbotsford and Langley (in the Vancouver Area), these systems are actually outselling the Wii U because they play all the games everyone loves, and parents are either to dumb or too cheap to buy their kids the Wii U. As for us older gamers, I honestly need to see some SERIOUSLY good game come out on the Wii U, Because Aliens sucked, ACIII was too short, Zombi u was dull, and it generally hasn't been well marketed, in terms of consumer education. I think if they go Bethesda to make a Elder Scrolls game, it would sell more (or be a complete faliure), or at least get people a little interested. I have played quite a few Wii U games, and seriously, I prefer classic PS2 and Xbox games, like Bully, Shadow of the Colossus, Elder Scrolls III, Half Life 2 and other True gaming masterpieces. With Wii U, its one big license title cash in attempt. Anyone hearing me?

@Rocketship oh the chinese do that with cars all the time, and the government ok's it because they get more money.

ok, unlike ACIII, Aliens colonial marines, or even new super marios bros wii u, this is the game that will get people who love nintendo games really interested in the Wii U.
This was a great game, except for the slight sailing problems, so a HD remake??? YES!!!!!
all it needs, is side-quests (or more of them), a log for quests, gamepad use for sailing and fishing, and a slightly more interesting control set. This could be the game that gets people to say, "hmm, if they remake this old game, why not more?" Next up, METROID PRIME, and CHIBI-ROBO!!!!!!!

i found this a fun, if not very pretty use for my 200 points after buying Cave story and Zenonia. Ok controls, so its not great, but its worth the $2.

I got it, and WOW!
Great game, good graphics, decent controls, some translation errors and a decent story. Takelondon (previous commenter) obviously hase never played a Real JRPG before. Noobs never appreciate classics.

I played thru Chinatown Wars and i have to say, this is a great game with interesting gimmicks and features, but it cannot compare with GTA:CTW, especially since Liberty City is bigger and generally better. good game though, worth the $8

these people don't care about save files or player data, they just want you to go and blow your money on the latest version, like all big companies. At least in Pokemon you could transfer all your pokemon.

im thinking of getting it, PicDun and dark void zero and go series undead storm

@MeloMan
brilliant comment

@sweetiepiejonus
ok, since when does this happen in Canada, Mexico, or the UK?
USA has some of the stupidest criminals in the world.
in Vancouver, there are actually only a couple dozen Wii U owners, and those
people are the ones with money to burn. regular people out in abbotsford, Hope, Chilliwack and Merrit won't waste $300 on a system that hasn't officially proven itself. lets see a Elder Scrolls Game or a GOOD C.O.D. on the Wii U,
or better online functions, huh?

look for them at pawn shops, collectibles stores and privately owned stores, this happened some time ago with the Gameboy Advance SP in america. why do you think this happens? they should lower the price otherwise its not gonna sell too well, compared to the Wii or the DS. Still, crap like this mostly happens in USA.

lego battles was really crappy, it didnt even look like a lego game.

if you cant find it on the shelves then try looking on ebay or craigslist.

hmmm, this seems like a extremely interesting game, and if i can find it, I will write an extensive review of it. this and Solatorobo: Red the Hunter, Suikoden DS, Avalon Code, Phantasy Star 0 and Golden Sun: Dark Dawn seem like ones to look out for. Or go to Coolrom.com and get them for the DesMumE DS Emulator on PC. works great and is free!

ok, this is so deserving of a better rating, considering this is the second best RPG on the Gamecube, better than super paper Mario and the crappy sticker star coming soon. this is a real RPG, with all the bells and whistles, that also highlights how good visually simple games are and how fun a Mario RPG can be. They improved on the story, the graphics, the frame rate and the battle system from the N64 game and got the perfect soundtrack that matches to the gameplay and the setting. my one grievance is that the puzzles in some areas are kind of irritating and can take a bit to complete, but the design of the game, the controls and the story should get this game at least a 9/10 if not more. Chibi robo was brilliant, but this is better, so how come chibi-robo got a 9, and this an 8? can anyone explain this?

this is one of the most interesting and quirky games for the gamecube, its so addictive and odd that it sucks you in for hours. if you can find it is a must own for the gamecube.

this is the greatest game on the DS for $20 that i have ever had. my one reservation on this game is the swearing and the very poor multiplayer aspect but otherwise this is game of the year, the DS's equivalent of the N64's Ocarina of Time, but with GUNS AND CARS!!!!
