WYLD-WOO

Great review.... I've played a close eye on this for a while. I've seen the progress with the EU release and it looks pretty soon IMO.

I've already spent a good few hours on the demo. I was waiting for the Wii U version. However, I'm getting the 3DS because of this demo.

I passed my codes to strangers on the forums on here. All three people really thanked me and one person even explained, that he was meeting up with friends tomorrow to play local co-op. How cool is that...

Do ya duty as a loyal Nintendo fan and pass a little bit of happiness on.

FANBOY ALERT!!!

Really feeling Holmes character design. I can already see a spin off, Holmes Investigation game. The new Watson is not that far off in age, than Egdeworths assistant in the investigation games.

I'm a massive Ace Attorney and Sherlock Holmes fan. Sounds like an interestimg mix to me. So, I'm assuming that the investigation parts will be done by Sherlock and the trials with the great grandfather of Phoenix.

@rjejr Wow, so... I've caught most of ya comments on here since mine, back to you. So, are you still saying that all games are just copies of each another. Because that's crazy talk and you a'int no fool.

From the Forum is a great idea for an article category.

@rjejr - Thing is... This is not even a crappy game and we have all seen a few of them on the eshop of late. This is some fruit phone app that has no right calling it's self a game to begin with.

Talk of freedom to create what game they want is a joke. When you create a copy that uses no creativity at all.

IMO - How can you defend shovel. Everytime, I play a game like this. I lose a small piece of my soul.

@Reverandjames - Will agree with you again.

@Reverandjames - I agree with you. However, playing GBA VC games on my gamepad only is really a pleasant experience.

My 3DS is starting to gather dust and my mighty Wii U has taken over.

Minish cup for me, I've never played it. Been enjoying playing my other GBA VC title, Fire Emblem using just my gamepad and I'll do the same with this.

Review of Teslagrad, would be good NL. I'll wait for a sale anyway, as this does seem slightly expensive.

Nice to see a Wii U demo on a game, I'm undecided whether to get.

@vonseux - Yes it was

This is the sort of thing you can easy get cheap on ebay. However, you can't beat a quality clubnintendo product. My new Zelda bag, now there is a great collectors item. I'm saving up in hope of another mario kart trophy making an apperence.

I've so many memories of playing BOMERMAN with friends growing up. BOMERMAN was best served with friends and a four player adapter. Such a laugh all picking on my little brother with mates.

I miss you HUDSON.

Nice article and 'Good luck' to you Spamfish. I shall tune in to see, if how he gets on.

I've been quite optimistic that since the all mighty update, the problems with disconnections have been sorted out. In the last hour, I've done a little tester with the Mario Cup. Here's how I got on:

First six races were great and I finished in 1st place, Wooohooo. Win my last two races and I'll finish with maximum points, joint top of the leaderboard. Race 7, so I'm halfway around the track and well out in 1st place. Then low and behold. BANG!!! Disconnection, no points and worst still my lost opportunity of racing again as when I re-join the cup , it brings me to race 8.

Ok, I'll take that one on chin. Perhaps... Maybe.... Just a one off disconnection, because I'm told the update has sorted out theses types on things out.

Race 8, a perfect start and I'm straight out in 1st place. A quick look behind me after receiving a green shell and my opponent is right there. I release my shell backwards and it's a direct hit leaving them for dust. Then... Can't be... Nooooooo!!!! Disconnection, I'm left with no points from that race and no opportunity of racing it again -sob-

I hope people don't experience these same disconnection issues as I do this weekend.

What have they done with Princess Peaches nose?

@Espy - LOL

Woooohooo!!!! On this subject, my free reward green and gold Zelda case from clubnintendo.co.uk arrived this morning. I'm well pleased with it.

@unrandomsam - Shin'en have been about for a little longer and have much more experience management wise. I've always wondered, if it comes down to the quality and experience of the management team. I assume, you've already played this game? What do you think of it?

Here we have a new small company, this is not a Atlus (Sammy). So, I can forgive them for taking so long. I really like how transparent they have been with the process and supportive to potential fans. However, peoples general view across many media and gaming websites seems to be the hype train has aready left the station.

I stil find it strange, how this game get's people so excited. Being it looks like something, I've played as a kid on my Amiga.

I've kind of thought it may be an early 2015 release. I've got my hopes up for release over the holiday period tho.

@Legromancer Rune Factory 4 is lost to all Europeans forever -sob-

@Noelemahc @Blaze - I agree with you both. I'm putting it down to either BS or a marketing reason being a Halloween release, which is no coincidence. Finding it hard to boycott the game but everyone has a breaking limit and mine has been reached. This all started way before the problems with this EU release with game breaking bugs in the first game.

@datamonkey - I think some investigation into this is needed. Definitely something that's important to me too. As we all have a Network ID, I see no reason why I can't at worst delete my games from my current system. Then download them again once, I've linked my new system to the eshop via my network ID. It's not the best option for me as I've well over 50 games on my current 3DS.

Seriously.... After waiting patiently for this long, I've lost it with this game. John Hardin you can stick ya SMTlV... May get purchased from me, if there is some kind of promotion on it over the next few years.

People wait untill there is a real discount on this before purchasing. This has been on sale so many times on the US eshop, since it's release.

@unrandomsam - Right ok. Thanks for the response. I would deactivate the system before selling, so that person could use their own network ID. I would put a spare empty SD card in and sell.

Keep my SD card and transfer the data to my new micro SD via my computer and put that In the new system. Is this right? Or am I wrong?

@El_Scorpio - Shame you feel like that. The 3DS has been out since 2011 and its time to move, like every other system before it. IMO it's about that time for this system to enter the market.

@earthboundlink - Yes!!! Someone that's making some sense. 100% agree with every word.

@datamonkey - Can't you just keep ya SD card and sell it without. Transfer the data via a computer once you get the new system. That's what I'm going to do.

I'm honestly not a technical person, I bought a new SD card recently and found it very easy to transfer my data over

For me there is enough benefits as a 'new' system or upgrade whatever you want to call it, to justify the cost. However, I'll hopefully see a list of expected games for this 'new' 3DS. These are the three main reasons that I'll get one.
1. Will play better quality games than my existing 3DS does
2. The BIG thing for me is the new nub stick and additional back buttons (about time)
3. Improved 3D - I use this where possible already and l'm looking forward to seeing this in action

REALLY IMPORTANT NINTENDO THAT YOU BACK THIS CONSOLE UP WITH A FULL LIBRARY OF EXCLUSIVE GAMES.

@gurtifus - I really don't see us getting Shovel Khight untill christmas or next year.

@Kaze_Memaryu - Thanks for ya explaination, I didn't know that about the gbc and I'ts been a long time since I've used one. I'm not a technical person but I've been a gamer for most of my days. I've seen so many different nintendeo handhelds re-designs and new consoles, come and go. Each time IMO, I've never really seen such a massive jump in system quality and I see no difference here. I really don't look at things like CPU's, RAM's etc. I look at what games or unique experience, that console has to offer. Ports for me are not the preferred choice as I've normally played most of the games, that I've already wanted to play. However, there is always a new generation of gamers that would could experience this for the first time. The answer to ya question, Is wait and see, If there are games on that system that you will play that justifys the cost of it. As I've already mentioned, I'm a nintendo fan, so of course I'll be getting one regardless.

@Kaze_Memaryu - Ok, I see where you are coming from. I was not talking about the re-designs like the micro and XL as examples. I've always seen the gameboy to colour version as an upgrade and the same with colour to advance. The same with as you mentioned the DS systems. Is this not the same thing?

If an improvement of hardware is offered to play better games, is that not classed as an upgrade? I always thought the next handheld system would play Wii quality games, like we have here.

@Kaze_Memaryu - Nintendo have pretty much upgraded all handheld models at some point. This is nothing to do with smelling like Apples...

Of course I will be purchasing one, I'm a Nintendo fan. Expected a upgrade of sorts as it's about that time.

@unrandomsam - Oooo noooooooo!!! Not red!!!! Exclamation marks!!!! I personally prefer black exclamation marks in 60fps

@Bishasaurus - Very cool about the update on points. Sure, this will even it's self out over the nex few days. I was third a few times and I got minus 3 points each time. Being in groups with low points seems to be a killer.

First impression of the update are really good. Just played about an hour and Mario Kart was a bit of a Merc fest but dam was it a lot of fun. Hope they show some love for the bikes in the new vechicle dlc.

For those people who won't purchase MK8 dlc, you're going to really miss out on all the fun.

This is possibly the best news I've heard in ages. I'm excited...

@booker_steve - I won't forget ya for bringing the news to me first.

Sorry... I had to be the first person to say OBJECTION!!!

Nintendo pulling the video off utube makes it seem more credible in my eyes. Come on Nintendo, you have the best plumbers in the business, sort them leaks out...

Bought the 3DS version at christmas and just never really got into it. I must give it another go, based on all the love this game gets.

Damage control!!!

Lost levels is my favourite growning up. NSMB Wii gets my vote for being the most fun. Tho, I've yet to finish the Wii U version yet.

I'll give it my best shot. Man, I've been playing way too much Mario Kart over the last few weeks.

EA did a similar stupid tweet recently and the result ended up being more hate against them. I also agree with them but that's not the point.

@Zombie_Barioth - Ok... Thanks for clearing that one up. I do think peoples idea, perception and definition of the term hacker seem to differ and can be lost in translation. One thing, I would say on thinking about this subject. The person(s) enabling people to play region locked games would bring nothing but happiness to lots of people.

@Sionyn - You are talking about crackers not hackers.

@ZenTurtle - have to agree with you.

On one hand, hacking is wrong... On the other, so is region locking...

@blaze8937 - Nice one for the info. Which pretty much means the same deal will apply in the EU.
