@StarDust well it DOES come bundled with some pre-installed games and SIX AR games. Their not on a cartridge but their still games and should keep you more satisfied then a Metroid Prime Hunters demo.
The Tetris Party Live thing may be a mistake, the PR says it's 800 but NoE's website is saying 500. I'd say you guys should keep an eye out when the games actually hit.
I highly doubt 1942 is or ever will be on Japan's VC, seeing as it was never originally released in Japan due to the very good reason that you fight against the Japanese in that game.
Not only did it originally get released in Japan, but it was confirmed as coming to the Japanese VC a few months ago.
You know how DS demos are supposed to be a limited time too? They barely are anymore. I'm not talking about stuff like Brain Age and Rhythm Heaven, the Ace Attorney Investigations Demo is still there. It's like when a DS Demo is added, it's practically permanent. The same might happen to WiiWare after some time.
This should've been obvious when we saw new DS games at the conference.
Also I don't know who thinks that GBA games suddenly dropped in quality after DS came out. I guess King of Swing, WarioWare: Twisted, FE: Sacred Stones, Drill Dozer, and Minish Cap all sucked. Does Japan count? I guess Mother 3 and Rhythm Heaven suck too!
If it was possible for Nintendo to increase the limit, solely because of SD Cards, that would alienate consumers without one. I doubt Nintendo wants to sell games that could only be played off the SD Card, or cause mass deleting of almost everything but the mandatory channels.
@8: This BttF game isn't hitting 360 either so I dunno if HD is a factor. Also the NMH PS3 game is just an enhanced port of the first game. Which also came out for 360 in Japan but they aren't bringing that one over.
Side note: Wii Remote Plus colors for America will be White, Black, Pink, and Blue. The Press Room has images of them so that's like an implied confirmation.
All right guys, look at this pattern...Wii Remote Plus is launching before FlingSmash in Europe and Japan. As far as we know it's launching with FlingSmash in America. Couldn't it be assumed it'd launch in America before FlingSmash comes out? Even if it doesn't it's only a 2 day difference between when Europe and America get their hands on it so it's really not that big of a deal if we don't get something before Europe...
Isn't this a rumor? I'm sure I just read something where Nintendo confirmed that they did not confirm anything beyond a 9/29 announcement date to Bloomberg.
I don't think their gonna skip number 4. I imagine Layton 5 and 6 will be 3DS now. And Level-5 being a badass decided to localize the fifth one for E3 purposes.
Nintendo's definitely not going to end the VC or anything. They just don't have all that much to release right now. Sure even without licensing or any other kind of problem there are several games that could be released, but Nintendo needs to have those games in the first place to put them on VC.
@vio No they didn't... They never promised an n64 game a month. And I don't think Nintendo ever promised at least one VC game every week either.
And you know what? If they did that was back in 2006, how could they have forseen the future? It's not Nintendo's fault Konami is being a jerk about Castlevania: Bloodlines or they haven't been getting a lot of other games lately.
DSiware is the weakest of the handheld download services compared to PSPgo and iphone. What? Thats absolutely ridiculous. At least compared to the PSPgo. You're probably comparing it to the full PSP game downloads which is a completely unfair comparison. It's more fair to compare it to PSP minis in which case, DSiWare is definitely doing much better.

Re: Fan-Made Petition to Bring Last Story Westward Gains Steam
I'm gonna laugh if this gets announced on Wednesday and that was when they were planning to announce it the entire time.
I'm gonna sigh if people think this petition is why they announced it.
Re: Nintendo Download: 27th December 2010 (North America)
@sdcazares1980
If Nintendo has at least 52 games in their queue to release next year then sure they'll do it.
And no, just cause you can name 52 games, doesn't mean Nintendo has the ability to distribute all of them.

Re: North America Gets In On WiiWare Demo Action Next Week
@20 Why is Reggie involved? Reggie wouldn't affect how Nintendo handles demos in Europe in Japan.
Re: Nintendo Download: 15th November 2010 (North America)
Reminder: Japan doesn't have demos either guys, it's not a NoA thing.
Re: Chrono Twins DX Joins the Demo Ranks on Friday
Demos haven't returned full form to Japan either guys so Nintendo's not being a to North America or anything.

Re: Nintendo Download: 5th November 2010 (Europe)
Hey wait, first ever WiiWare game to launch with a demo? Pokemon Rumble did that last year.

Re: Telltale's Back to the Future Not Coming to Wii
@35: That doesn't make sense...especially since it's not coming to XBLA.

Re: Review: Spot the Difference (DSiWare)
@1: I dunno, from the sounds of the PR it sounds like it randomizes what's different. That's just a guess though.
Re: Go Behind the Scenes with Back to the Future: Episode I
@9 The SNES game wasn't so bad!

Re: FlingSmash with Wii Remote Plus Bounding to Europe
@anyone asking about a US date:
This was confirmed for a November 7 release way back in August!
Re: North America Cools Down with Club Nintendo Folding Fans
I like how whenever Japan updates with ANYTHING their so perfect and NoA sucks for not offering the same stuff.
NoA offers the same stuff and they suck just for offering it at all.
Re: Nintendo Download: 12th and 13th October 2010 (Japan)
Japan only pays less for Sonic 4 on Wii but it's still universally the same for all of the other platforms. Does that count?
Re: Review: Learning with the PooYoos - Episode 3 (WiiWare)
We need a 3-year old reviewer on the staff to confirm the effectiveness of these EC rated games.
Re: Nintendo Download: 12th and 13th October 2010 (Japan)
We're getting FlingSmash (and with that the Wii Remote Plus) before Japan. Does that count?
Re: Nintendo Download: 12th and 13th October 2010 (Japan)
@2 We always get Mario vs DK games first, does that count?
Re: Nintendo Download: 8th October 2010 (Europe)
@zezhroom
If you check out nintendo.com right now you'll see WiiWare and DSiWare games scheduled for next week. How does that sound?
Re: Nordcurrent Joins the Monster Buster Club on DSiWare
@Xkhaoz
I think Hell's Kitchen was the first.
Re: Review: Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem (GameCube)

Re: First Fluidity Video and Screenshots Released
You know...if it looks like a Pixeljunk....maybe this is a Q-Games work?
Re: Japanese GO Series to Attack Europe and North America
Asking for Line Attack Heroes is probably futile being a Nintendo game so that'd be up to them. Which they probably are still bringing over.
Re: Harvest Moon 64 Will Not Sprout on Virtual Console
Disappointing but at least we have some inside info on the lack of N64 VC games.
Re: 3DS Coming to Japan by October
Isn't this a rumor? I'm sure I just read something where Nintendo confirmed that they did not confirm anything beyond a 9/29 announcement date to Bloomberg.
Re: Nintendo Download: 19th July 2010 (North America)
Will we denizens of North America ever get Rythmik?
Yeah actually, we will.
Re: Nintendo Download: 22nd & 23rd June 2010 (Japan)
Why just cause they got a VC game?
Re: E3 2010: Two New Professor Layton Mysteries On the Way

Re: Nintendo Download: 11th June 2010 (Europe)
@abe8812
It does. You don't even need a Euro-Wii to check. It says so on the website's page as well.

Nintendo unveiled this game at their media conference back in February under the name Rotozoa. Also this: http://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/JTbZnxr412wZcpQhzzNs1R7OQrgvmsf8
Re: Review: Art Style: light trax (WiiWare)
Does anyone know why the copyright just says 2010? All the other bit Generations remakes have 2006-200X on them.

Re: Nintendo Download: 17th May 2010 (North America)
Wait were some people asking where Case 1-5 of the original Phoenix Wright is?
Do some people not read the manual? It's been slated for a May 24th release since January.
Re: Review: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Trials & Tribulations (WiiWare)
Don't let those screens fool you. The game screen doesnt stretch out on a widescreen television. Just the background wallpaper.

Haha oh Im so funny.

Re: Nintendo Download: 5th March 2010 (Europe)
Any word on Zaxxon getting a US release?
It was ESRB rated not too long ago. It's very possible it'll show up Monday.
