The quote at the end sums up exactly why I play these sorts of games "After all, there are enough people telling you what to do in the real world. Aren't video games supposed to give you a chance to relax?"
I don't know why I still watch videos and get interested in a game before checking if it's available in the EU. No date here means it'll probably be a very long time before we see it. And by then everyone in NA will have moved on to something else.
They should have brought it out here a year ago when I was desperately waiting for Animal Crossing. Now that I'm wrapped up playing AC, can anyone convince me that I need to play this?
It's taken over a year for this to come out in the EU after it came out in NA. Shesh!! I don't even remember which friends of mine were using it, it's been that long since anyone has talked about it.
That console is growing on me. The game is great .. wouldn't mind showing off a limited edition 3DS to go with it. And I'm sure I could find a good home for my cartridge New Leaf (I have a friends who is interested, but doesn't want to buy it just yet.)
This looks like it might be fun. Just wish I would have seen that it's not scheduled for an EU release before I read the review. (I always get my hopes up for games like this, and then they never make it to my region.)
This is a game I really wanted. But I didn't think it would ever come out here. They problem was getting your Miis to be able to read and speak English. Oh well.
I love the Lego games, but dang! I'm so behind on them. Lego Batman 2 last Summer, Lego Lord of the Rings at Christmas, and I'm currently working on Lego City Undercover. All these games are HUGE. There's just not enough hours in the day.
I've been living in England for nearly 11 years, and I have only ever bought 1 CD there and that is because I was near one on the day the CD was released. The shops just are over priced and unpleasant to shop in. Whenever I go in one, I wonder around for a bit, take a look at the video games, and walk back out empty handed. (And I used to spend HOURS shopping for music and video games.) HMV just never stores never made me want to stay and look around for a great bargin or rare find. I am very saddened for all the job loss, especially since there has been so much of it in my area lately. But I won't miss the shop itself.
I'd probably give that a go. I already order films from them, and they often sit around for a week or so before I actually get around to watching them. So this might be a good option.
Wow! Impressive!! I didn't read the whole review because I'm waiting to discover it for myself. But I'm happy that you guys gave it a 9/10 stars. I'm really looking forward to it now.
I'm getting kind of bummed out by all the spoilers of the game yet we still have no release date. I've had to stop watching the videos or looking at screen shots or else there will be nothing new to discover in the game at all.
I just love seeing that Toki Tori bird. To me he is the cutest gaming character. Long after I finished playing Toki Tori I still have him on my Wii's main screen just because he's so cute! He always makes me smile.
I would have loved this back in the mid-80s when I got into computing and programming. I used to spend days trying to do the simplist of drawings, and writing apps to do tasks for me. There was no-one to share my work with because I didn't know anyone else who had a computer. But I don't know if I'd have the time to do it now. I would really love to see what you guys could do though. And since software can be shared with QR codes, if this comes to the UK I might just get it to see what my friends have done with it.
They haven't had anything good in EU's Club Nintendo in a very long time. Those people complaining that we're getting something here that you're not getting in your region should stop and take a look at the junk available in EU. My friends in NA are always going on about the great things they picked up with their points. Yet my Nintnedo points are piling up because there's nothing worth getting with them. For a long time the only thing I ever picked up were Wii Point cards. In NA you guys talk about different levels of rewards, but they don't even do that here. So it's nice that we're finally offered something decent.
That'll put them in competition. Before the 3DS came out the prices kept dropping from store to store. I changed my mind 3 times about where I was going to buy mine. So that'll be good news for us. We can just keep watching to see how it goes.
In that case I'd rather buy the retail version as I'm keeping the shop open and keeping someone employed. And when I finish a game and find I will never play it again, I can sell it on (or even GIVE it away) so someone else can enjoy it.

Re: Interview: Goodbye Galaxy Games on Tappingo 2 Improvements, With Hints at What's Next
Oh good! More puzzles. I enjoyed the first one and will get the second one for sure.
Re: Tappingo 2 Confirmed for a Summer Release on 3DS eShop
I'll buy it. I like the first one. It was a bit easy, but it's different from other puzzle and that made it fun.

Bagged mine! I got red to match my 3DS.

Once again I read a review of a game and thought, "Sounds like fun! I'll go get it now." only to find out that it's not in my region. Grrrrr

Re: Feature: Where Is Your Wii Balance Board?
Mine is in front, or beside the TV where it's always been. It's still used regularly in our house.

"Take on Mii" hahahaha. Good one.
Re: Harvest Moon: A New Beginning Finally Sowing Its Seed In Europe This September
They should have brought it out here a year ago when I was desperately waiting for Animal Crossing. Now that I'm wrapped up playing AC, can anyone convince me that I need to play this?
Re: Review: Wakedas (3DS eShop)
Looks like something I would enjoy ... if it ever comes out in the EU.
Re: Downloadable 3DS StreetPass Plaza Content Has Generated 400 Million Yen In A Month
Well in over crowded Japan people probably get Street Passes regularly. I'm lucky if I get one or two a month.

Re: Watch Family Gamer TV Play Animal Crossing, Win A Limited Edition 3DS XL Console
That console is growing on me. The game is great .. wouldn't mind showing off a limited edition 3DS to go with it. And I'm sure I could find a good home for my cartridge New Leaf (I have a friends who is interested, but doesn't want to buy it just yet.)
Re: Family Gamer TV Shows You How To Move Towns In Animal Crossing: New Leaf
Count me in! I'd love to win a limited edition 3DS. The game is so much fun.

Manchester, eh? Hmmm... I could do this!
Re: Review: Crazy Construction (3DS eShop)

Re: Nintendo And GAME Hosting Multiplayer Mayhem Event This Weekend
A bit more of a warning would be helpful! Don't know if it's worth the trip to Coventry just for this.
Re: Animal Crossing: New Leaf 3DS XL Bundle Confirmed in The West
Too late Nintendo. I already upgraded to an XL. You're not getting anymore of my money for a new system. I will download Animal Crossing, though.
Re: Tomodachi Collection: New Life Detailed in Latest Nintendo Direct

Re: Animal Crossing: New Leaf Hits 2 Million Sales In Japan
Whoop-de-do. When are they going to release it to the rest of the world?

Re: LOVEFiLM Arrives on Wii, Wii U App Will Go Live "Soon"
I'd probably give that a go. I already order films from them, and they often sit around for a week or so before I actually get around to watching them. So this might be a good option.
Re: Review: Game Party Champions (Wii U)
Ouch!! I thought that would be bad, but not that bad.
Re: Feature: Toki Tori 2 Top 5 - What's New In The Sequel
I think Toki Tori has got to be one of the cutest video game characters ever. I just love that little guy.
Re: Review: Nintendo Land (Wii U)

Re: Nintendo of Europe Gives Free Retail Game to 3DS XL Owners
Sweet!! I was going to download Art Academy to replace the cartridge version. Now I'll hold off doing it.
Re: Guide: Transferring your Mii to the Wii U
Even in the photo of the Miis you can tell they look better on the Wii U. Look at the highlights in that guy's Mii.
Re: Review: 3D MahJongg (3DS eShop)
This one looks nice compared to some versions I've seen. I don't currently have one on my 3DS so if this comes to the EU, I'll get it.
Re: LEGO Lord Of The Rings Dated For 3DS, Wii And DS In Europe
I've ordered it as a Christmas present for my husband. This will something good for us to play together over the hols.
Re: New Animal Crossing 3DS Details Reveal Streetpass Mode
I'd be more excited if they'd just give us the release date already! grrrrr
Re: Animal Crossing Nintendo Direct Confirmed for Japan
I'm getting kind of bummed out by all the spoilers of the game yet we still have no release date. I've had to stop watching the videos or looking at screen shots or else there will be nothing new to discover in the game at all.
Re: Review: Hitori by Nikoli (eShop)
I hate it when I read the entire review of a game thinking, "I'll give that one a go." And then I realise that it's not out in the UK. Grrrrrrr.
Re: Events: Nintendo Life Is Coming to Eurogamer Expo 2012
Hmmm ... I haven't decided if I can make it or not. Hmmm

Good luck to you buddy. Sorry I never got a chance to Street Pass you when you down in this neck of the woods.

Ouch!
Re: Mario & Sonic eShop App Hits the UK
Why aren't all the cards in 3D? It's really odd. I'm so used to the 3D that the cards just look flat and boring.
Re: 3DS XL UK Prices Will be Decided by Retailers
That'll put them in competition. Before the 3DS came out the prices kept dropping from store to store. I changed my mind 3 times about where I was going to buy mine. So that'll be good news for us. We can just keep watching to see how it goes.
Re: Nintendo Takes Unleashed Tour to Manchester
Looks interesting. Is anyone from NLife planning on going?
Re: First Impressions: Art of Balance TOUCH! (3DS eShop)
I wanted this as WiiWare, but thought it was a bit hard to play with the remote, so I kept putting off buying it. Maybe it would be easier on the 3DS?
Re: 3DS Nears 1 Million Units Sold in UK
Then why is it still so rare to get a Street Pass here? sigh
Re: Organise a Big Kid Icarus Event, Win Prizes
Would have been nice to have a bit more of a warning this was coming up than just 2 days.
Re: Let Animal Crossing be the Soundtrack to Your Day
Makes me want to fire up the game! I sure wish they'd hurry up and relase this for the 3DS.
Re: Iwata Defends Identical Digital and Retail Prices
