I've never played the game, but from a quick Google search, it looks like this game would have been rated AO (if it was rated by the ESRB). So maybe that's the reason it won't be coming to 3DS and Wii U?
Well, I have a Wii U. I like my Wii U. I'm going to play my Wii U, and whatever Nintendo does in the next year, that's fine, because I'm not going to worry.
@Webby-sama I'm glad you said that! I bought a $20 card just for starship Damrey, Friday Monsters, and ALttP, so I was pretty disappointed this week! Thanks!
@unrandomsam They're not manipulating you into anything. People wanted NNID on the 3DS and now it's here. Nobody would have had a problem with it if it was required from the start (like the Wii U).
@Dogpigfish Just because we have the option to report something doesn't meant we're doing all the work for the moderators or anything. It just means we have the option if we do happen to spot something. And @rjejr , I think that by spoilers, they mean just the really big ones that would be REALLY upsetting and obnoxious. For example: In the new Professor Layton, Layton finds out **** ******* ** *** *******, *** **** ** ******** ****** *** ** ****. That would really tick me off.
@rjejr Yeah, when I saw that ALttP was in this weeks download (I assume the US will get it Thursday) I hurried to club Nintendo and got the code. I'd much rather pay $1.50 or whatever than $8.
If the starship damrey discount comes to NA, I'll get it.
@Burning_Spear What about those GBA ones? Oh man! You should play those if you haven't! Those were some of the best games I have ever played. And Harvest Moon DS (which was basically another GBA one), the best of them all!
Well, More playable characters isn't bad, though there's never been a time playing through previous DKC games where I said to myself "I sure wish I could play as Cranky!"
@Portal_King It doesn't sound selfish at all. Nintendo should reward early buyers like they did for 3DS, especially for something $100 more (in the states at least)! It's going to encourage people to wait a year before buying a Nintendo product. Kind of like how the Wii U didn't sell for a year (assuming it will this holiday season). Come on Nintendo.
@triforcepower73 Hey, no offence man! I was agreeing with you! Didn't mean to give that impression! I should have said most 13 year olds. Sorry. I know a 15 year old and we play Nintendo stuff (and PlayStation) all the time. He's not biased, but many others I know are, whether they hate Nintendo or are just going with the crowd. Most are in fact, which is why I said what I said at the end of my comment. I just meant that I hear a lot of (about the average age is) 13 year olds saying that stuff. Good of you to be open minded. I commend you. Also, you seem very passionate, did you grow up on Nintendo at a young age?
@triforcepower73 I grew up on SNES (played NES for a bit, but mostly SNES) My favorite game is Super Mario World (Beat it when I was 5), and so when I hear 10-15 year olds say stuff like "Nintendo sucks" because its "not cool" I feel exactly what you are saying. I love PlayStation too, but when I hear "Nintendo Sucks" and "Sony Sucks" it hurts in two different place, really deep down (Especially since I've been playing almost since I was born). Todays 13 year olds don't give Nintendo a chance, and will grow up basically Nintendo-less, and I dread what will happen to Nintendo when everyone who's around thinks "They suck".
@Goginho My guess is that it's a little box that you plug into the Wii U's USB that increases the Wii U's power/graphics by 500%! It's a new technological breakthrough! It sure would surprise everybody!
So it's about a year away? Looks awesome, but I don't think it will "hold me over" until an F-Zero or anything, because by the time it's released, the other stuff'll be a month away! I'll definitely be buying this, though.
I laughed when I saw this. Of course not! I say blow the budget! Spend as much as possible advertising on every station. It's not like they don't have the money.
I have friends who thought the Wii U was an add on to the Wii. The friends who did know about the Wii U didn't believe me when I told them it was more powerful than the PS3. Consumers are dumb, Nintendo. They need to explicitly state stuff like this in their ads. As much as I love them, Nintendo is dumb. Or at least their marketing team is.
I'm sure it stimulates and trains some parts of the brain. It's probably also bad for certain parts. Do I care? No. I play anyway. Most people will play whether it hurts or helps.
@alex167
If the problem isn't fixed, just directly call Nintendo's customer support. They're always friendly and helpful!
It's nice to see some good games on the CN rewards! For a while it was like the same games over and over, but this months and last months have been pretty good!
Also, All of my VC and wii shop purchases are still on my Wii (never transferred them) but I want to get A link to the past on Wii U instead of on my Wii. The problem is, I use Gamecube controllers to play VC on the Wii. I don't want to buy a horrible classic controller, so will the Wii U Pro controller register as a classic controller?
I'd buy it just to run around the environments in the demo. Spring is a long time to wait, but if that means it will be even better that the demo, I'll gladly be patient.
@Sleepingmudkip I personally hope Nintendo continues to cut the price on their own eShop when the retailers do in stores. It seems that they're now starting to realize that a game shouldn't ever stay full price on the eShopf for more than 9 months, because around then the price will already be cut in stores.
So many people whining. Why are people even complaining about this? Once Miiverse is released, will people even use Swapnote? With Swapnote you never even know if your message will be delivered instantly or in a couple of days. You have so many restrictions on Swapnote, like only sending 5-second sound clips, that the only real thing it's good for is sending phone numbers so that they can just call you.
Awesome! Wish they were cheaper though, cause the four I want will cost me $20+, and there are just too many games I want right now to sacrifice $20. Anyway, glad they now have a real version of the first sonic, cause that GG one wasn't cuttin' it. Also, the Wii U could use these. It needs as close as it can get to some good VC games.
