@RainbowGazelle His reaction is just so dramatic. If you like it, that's perfectly fine with me, don't bother yourself too much with what other people think of it.
@Peach64 Kind of different because Shovel Knight needed to be localised and rated for the EU. Ubisoft singled out a platform to delay the game on, the other versions released in the EU as scheduled. Not sure why you're even trying to make this comparison.
@DarkCoolEdge Did you buy the Deluxe (32GB) Wii U? Check this website: https://p.nintendo.net/premium/. You can redeem any points saved up there for extra eShop credit.
Such a noncommittal comment. The title of this article is making it seem like more that it really is, region-locking may be a thing of the past soon? Yeah right.
@BensonUii Had to google that, you learn something new every day. Did not expect Yoshi to be a badass that fights the devil. (Also, the enemies look a bit like shyguys lol.)
@Zexaal Well, SMB3 wouldn't exist without SMB, that doesn't invalidate all of its innovations, does it?
She actually brings up a great point with Yoshi. He has gotten multiple games of his own, Super Mario World might be more influental for that reason alone.
@617Sqn And less of a reason for people to buy Nintendo systems, which means Nintendo loses out on money there. On top of that they would have to pay Sony to bring games to their system ánd they have to work with systems that aren't catered to their own developers, which could mean a loss of quality. Plenty of potential for people to lose out. (Funny how it's always Nintendo that has to bring their exclusives to other consoles though. )
@JusticeColde Oh man, I love George of the Jungle.
"The decision to abandon what became the first PlayStation must surely be one of the worst Nintendo's ever made"
Does someone know where to find the real story behind this? I think I've read or heard that if Nintendo took this deal with Sony, Sony would have the rights to make their own SNES console that played all of Nintendo's games. I'm not sure that would have been such a great deal for Nintendo.
Definitely see this as a possibility. There are people importing a Japanese 3DS to play one or more games that aren't out (MH4 for instance) or importing special editions that will never come out here. There don't even have to be a lot of people doing it, even 1% of 3DS owners makes up almost half a million sales.
@GARF13LD Agree, would definitely pick up one of the EO games for this price (even if they just replace the $ for €). Haven't played one of the games before, so a bit hesitant, a discount helps that.

Wasn't there also a discount on Yumi's Odd Odyssey? Buy it!
Re: Early December Update Will Fix Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire Freezing Glitch
@Punished_Boss_84 I just expect better from GameFreak/Nintendo.
Re: Early December Update Will Fix Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire Freezing Glitch
It's a bit worrying that Pokémon games are suffering from bugs more and more.
Re: Science Tries To Ruin Our Fun As Zelda's Hookshot And Mario Galaxy's Planets Come Under Scrutiny
@May_Nyan It might even be better to think of it as its own universe, in which case our laws of physics don't even apply.
Anyway, the "research" is silly and a waste of time.

Re: Science Tries To Ruin Our Fun As Zelda's Hookshot And Mario Galaxy's Planets Come Under Scrutiny
"The students observed that Mario's movement and jumping capabilities were the same on each planet (including Earth)"
Is Mario really on Earth in the Galaxy games? If not the assumption of a surface gravity of 9.81ms² goes out the window, right?

@BLPs You're quite the drama queen, aren't you?

Mario Kart? Really? He should be playing Mario Tennis.

@SanderEvers That doesn't matter does it? I think it would be nice if you could make that choice.
Re: Feature: Our Predictions For The Animal Crossing x Mario Kart 8 DLC Pack 2
My prediction: a female villager alongside the male villager. I think it would be silly not to do it.

Re: 10-Year-Old Gamer Thrashes the Competition at Super Smash Bros. for Wii U Event
I think people are giving too much credit to the marketing savvy of Nintendo. Anyway, good on her for being so darn good at the game.
Re: Citizens of Earth Release Pushed Back to 20th January
Ooh, they didn't straight up swap the $ for €, that's always nice to see.

Re: Attack on Titan: The Last Wings of Mankind Looks Set for a Western Release
@pieman600 That's kinda like saying you don't like movies or music. There's probably something for everyone.
Re: Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate Continues to Thrash its Competition in Japan, Wii U Sales Drop Further
@Punished_Boss_84 Not much? Or what did it mean when the Wii U was outselling the PS4?
Re: Nintendo Download: 23rd October (Europe)
"Animal Crossing: New Leaf Jack, the Czar of Halloween (Nintendo, €1.49 / £1.39)"
Apparently this is a theme for the 3DS too. I wonder when the regular Animal Crossing themes will come.

@BensonUii Regardless of what Miyamoto wanted, Yoshi wasn't in SMB3.
Re: Poll: Nintendo Minute Debate - Is Super Mario World or Super Mario Bros. 3 More Influential?
She actually brings up a great point with Yoshi. He has gotten multiple games of his own, Super Mario World might be more influental for that reason alone.
Re: Miley Cyrus Confuses Fans by Owning a Wii U
I too once woke up as Miley Cyrus, wearing an animal costume and sunglasses, with a Wii U pro controller in hand. It was confusing, to say the least.

Re: Nintendo Direct: New Nintendo 3DS Models Coming to Australia and New Zealand on 21st November
@RupeeClock There have to be people at Nintendo that know it's a bad name, they really need to speak up.
Re: Nintendo Direct: New Nintendo 3DS Models Coming to Australia and New Zealand on 21st November
Let's hope NoE and NoA use the time to come up with a different name for this model.

Re: Talking Point: History Shows Us That Nintendo's Here to Stay
@Dipper723 I wasn't arguing that was their worst mistake, this article was. I'm just wondering if it was a mistake at all.
@Jetset Thanks, I'll be watching that later. (No sources in the description though, hard to check facts that way.)
