@BlackSpy - Looks like his too busy with ice buckets to worry about that. In all seriousness, I always thought he was all for VC in the US due to the great sales.
IMO Nintendo need to look at what is selling on the second hand market for serious money and release them titles. Which I expect to start happening and has in some degree of late. The probem is not enough good value for money VC games still and while I can selling my copy of Fire Emblem on the DS for more than I paid for it when first released.
I've always thought hacking is wrong in any form regardless of the purpose or intent of it. I'm sure there are plenty of people out there in the world that can do this too.
So very sad...... He bought joy and laughter to millions. Going to watch a few of his classic films this week, will start with my favourite Good Morning Vietnam.
@Bacon_Gal_Blaze - I think @dazza176 has provided the most logical answer and if you played towards the end, did you? If so, I'm sure you would also agree with his comment too. As I said before, I'm sure Nintendolife have all forms of cheating under control.
@dazza176 - Well done on your recent victory, I like you didn't have enough time to complete all races this time either.
179 points after 12 races, got in late this evening and it kicked me off before I could finish my last 4 races. Great fun as always Nintendolife, thanks.
@Bacon_Gal_Blaze - You have raised a valid point. Perhaps, there are two lucy X's, which is quite a common tag. Was it defo the same Mii? Also, the lag on on-line causes a problem sometimes. I finish 1st and then l'm 3rd all of a sudden. I'm very confident that Nintendolife has it all under control.
@Windy - Hope ya well Sir Windy. Sure, we will see it in the sales at that price over Christmas. Been seeing it on sale all the time on the US store. Quite looking forward to playing this again after feeling a little let down with the last EU scheduled release.
Here is my theory. The QOL will be some form of ipad (l'm calling it a life pad) that has a mixture of old and new touch based games. Imagine a system that would educate and help people with heath of all ages. Think of the possiblities on interaction between some of Nintendo current games like Will fit, brain training, art acadamy to name a few.
I believe many people purchased the DS and Wii for the reason of improving reaction/health or educating themselves. Nintendo want this market share back.
Brilliant!!! Forgot about tha tune... I shall be singing that one to my-self over the next few days. I'm not really into videos like this but this one made me smile.
@Tasuki - I more than anyone would love a special edition with all the bells. The massive problem Capcom have is the game series has never had much reply value as @sinalefa has rightly stated. The amount of people that have played this game series through a second-hand purchase is very high.
It's good that the digital market exists as its saved this series for the time being. The digital download provides a profitable means of release for Capcom in the localization of current and future installments of Ace Attorney.
HOLD IT!!! Just look at the second-hand price of the three games together and considered the improvements made. Surely everyone will see it's well worth the price.
Not only is this game not on-line.... What's most shocking is the amount of content lost compared with the original version, due to problems with localization.
Another game that l missed playing when it first came out. Will get a purchase from me. I really enjoy playing VC/GBA games on my gamepad, as this one is not for the big screen by the looks of things.
@Ralek85 - Wipeout for the vita had some nice polish but that was about it. Apart from a few courses, that game was slow, had poor clunky controls and the gameplay was no existant. This is different as the AiRace provides intuitive racing with touch tight controls. Unlike wipeout, I can can achually see in front of me. This game requires skill to master and offers a real sense of achievement when you get a gold on each course. Wipeout 2048 gameplay wise in not even is the same league as AirRace. That's without the cost comparasion of the two taken into consideration.
Wow, EA must have built a time machine and old pete must have travelled back to the future.
What if, EA did make time machines. They would rush it out for it's year-round release and then you program in some place/thing nice to witness. Then you end up on some battle field in 1066....
One of my favourite 3DS designs of all time. Imported the same skin but with the black outlines for my 3DS XL a while back . Was tempted on a purchase for this via play.asia.com. However, I can't justify the price tag just to play Rune Factory 4.
This review score is so very wrong. Been playing with my brother have found it loads of fun. Missed the chance of playing this a year ago and really glad I purchased this top game.
@Klimbatize My game tag and Mii name is WYLD-WOO for all games as is my Nintendo network ID. @Noonch is correct that I`m English. However, I do play Worldwide quite a bit. After around 10pm the regional players are too few and enjoying a competitive game can`t really be had.
GREAT NEWS… First I heard of another update, so an early June date is good for me. Not played for a while and kind of left this game alone after reaching level 99 and un-locking all the extra`s.
It`s kind of a shame they are giving a point deduction for shooting you`re own team member. I actually enjoyed taking out all the clan members, whatever team they were on.
I`m all for more fair game play on-line, so hope people will stop relying on team clans and start playing this game as it should be played.
What I would really like to see is some leader boards with the on-line stats.
Overall the up-date sounds like a really valid and it will sure to get me playing again once it arrives.
@Pete- Trax
I`ve searched for you on Miiverse but can`t find you. The search engine is very case sensitive on there. What is ur exact user name on there? Or follow me on Miiverse and ur see my latest post showing my combat record.

Re: Footage of Rad Retro Spin-Off Mighty Gunvolt Emerges
I want this more than the main game. As usual patiently awaiting EU release date.
Let's hope western shores gets the same deal as Japan or at least a discount on purchasing the main game.
Re: Fire Emblem Bringing The Battle to the Wii U in Europe This Week
Amazing price!!! The GBA titles are the only Fire Emblem games I've not played. Never been so excited to play a VC game before.

Re: Play & Win: Join the UK Mario Kart 8 Tournament Rematch - Today!
@Bacon_Gal_Blaze - Hey, it's always fun chasing the truth. Glad you are happy that there's no foul play here. Well done Lucy X
@emiingham - Haha, oi!!! You can't do that, it spoils the read of this thread...
Re: Play & Win: Join the UK Mario Kart 8 Tournament Rematch - Today!
@emiingham - The video is pointless and can't provide valid proof, if Lucy X did indeed continue to play on for fun.

Re: Bravely Default Flutters Gracefully Past The One Million Copies Sold Mark
60% of the sales come from western sales, which is quite impressive for a JRPG.
Well, I enjoyed every bit about this game and I'm really glad it was a success.
Even the part(s) some people didn't like!!! For which, I believe it added to the story and gameplay.
Seems like soooo long ago, when I completed this game. HURRY UP SECOND!!!
Re: Play & Win: UK Mario Kart 8 Tournament this Saturday
