How is it competitive when they're in a position of monopoly for these titles?

It might not have been a cybersquatting site in 2004, but right now, it is.
There's no content on that page right now aside a phony site that's fed from dubious search engines. Even worse, the 3rd link is "Download Nintendo WII Games" which downright promotes piracy.

I still don't get how the hell WIPO would not take Nintendo side for such an obvious squatting site.

They definitively didn't side with Apple UK instead of Apple, or itunes.uk.co (which existed years before itunes even came to existance)

To me, it just sounds like WIPO didn't do their job correctly on that one.

@SkywardLink98 They don't really compare, Tri only had like 35 monsters total, while 3 Ultimate has over 72 or something. Not to mention lots more weapon types.

I never hated region locking as much as I'm doing right now :/

@HarmoKnight TTT2 on PS3 is a 17GB download right now.

Wish they'd remove that idiotic region lock for a handheld device while they were at it though.

@Grodus That's pretty ignorant of you there. Let's see... a game series like Super Robot Taisen are usually pretty solid titles. But because of the nightmare of licenses these games holds, they never come out here, and the only way to play them is to import them. What about Ouendan 1 & 2, Jump Super Stars, heck, One Piece Gigante Battle never came to the US, but got released in Europe.

@theblackdragon Actually, they sent that version back in DECEMBER... Nicalis has been silent about it for 4 months, hence that post from Nigoro five days ago.

after the whole La Mulana debacle from Nicalis, I would invite anyone with common sense to just boycott Nicalis from now on, they're a terrible publisher.

For anyone wondering about La Mulana for wiiware, it looks like Nicalis really dropped the ball on that. Their complete silence about it for the past 4 month shows just how much they lack professionalism as publishers. Even Nigoro currently have no idea what's going on since they gave the final version to NoA and NoE, and didn't hear anything from Nicalis at all.

At least Nigoro wisened up and dropped Nicalis for the PC version and are publishing it themselves.

So in all, Nicalis is now another publisher to add on my boycott list from now on.

Well, so much for that rumour from some german website about La-Mulana coming out in April 26th.
Nicalis is seriously starting to act like some of the douchiest indie publishers out there at this point, why the hell are they so damn silent about the game? They kept hyping up Cave Story, VVVVVV, etc. but nothing about La-Mulana. Are they the publishers or not?

And what about La Mulana? I think this is one of the games people are really waiting for. Seriously, I'm starting to think of Nicalis as some of the worse publishers out there for indie devs. Sure, they release good games, but their public figures are quite lacking. La Mulana was supposed to be done, complete, ready, and sent to Nintendo back on Dec 26 2011..... we are now April 17th 2012. La Mulana's blog hasn't been updated since 2011, Nicalis are completely ignoring any inquiries about the game. What the hell is going on with it?

Finishing touches to La-Mulana? what finishing touches? Last time Nigoro posted anything, the game was complete, done, and ready. And they were starting on a PC version. So what finishing touches???

Anyone able to contact Nicalis or Nigoro and ask what the hell is going on with La-Mulana? They don't seem to answer anything, and the last word we got dates back Dec 26th saying the game was done and ready.

Like I said last week, NoA didn't waste time into reverting into Wiiware's past couple of years' territory of lameness. And with that, Where the hell is La-Mulana? Both Nigoro and Nicalis has been completely silent since DECEMBER, when they said the game was finished, and soon to be released by Nintendo? .... so WTF?

@fixjuxa Retro is due out in may, it even got a steam page now. as for La-Mulana, it's everyone's guest since Nicalis and Nigoro are not answering questions and their twitter has been dead since febuary.

Wish there was a way to know what the hell is Nicalis/Nigoro doing about La-Mulana, they're been completely silent about it since December, saying the game was complete, and sent to nintendo. They don't answer their twitter, they don't answer emails about it either. What the hell's going on there? :/

3 weeks in a row without any VC whatsoever, still no La-Mulana, I see it didn't take time for NoA to drop back into Wii-time mediocrity of the last couple of years :/

So, no RPG mode like the previous handheld ones :/ Makes me hope they release the GBC Mario Tennis and Mario Golf then.

another week, still no La-Mulana.... only about 1 month left for that Q1 window guys -_-
Oh, and what happened to Wario Land? been 2 weeks since EU got it :/

at this rate, La-Mulana PC will indeed release before the wiiware version.

@Cipher Actually, the article was updated saying this is the full list.
Sigh, still no La-Mulana.... this is becoming a joke at this point. I'm about to bet the PC version will come out before the Wiiware version at this point.

Sigh, this mean no La-Mulana worldwide this week again :/

Another week, another lack of La Mulana -_-

@E-dawg True enough, though you did get Mario Kart Wii 1 week earlier But yes, pricewise you guys are seriously getting screwed. (like Canada used to for quite a while, paying almost 20$ more while the american dollar was on parity with ours)

I can't believe our european friends are still whining even though they're getting so much importations. Us? We got like 2 or 3, we didn't even get Mario Picross Seriously, lately NOA have been given us the shaft VC wise, I think the last time I bought something on VC was like in october or something.

Damn, when the hell will Nintendo release Picross over here. :/

Euh.... people... that glitch existed in the ORIGINAL SMB3 cart on the real NES, I poped it out to verify this myself. The issue is more glaring with the more recent TV Screen which don't have the rounded kind of effect old TV's had back then. But it's still there, lots of the later NES games had those issues with clipping at the edges. Crystalis is another one of them.

It just looks a lot worst because new TVs don't really have the same type of screen as older ones.

Damn, and I thought Picross would be there.....

Like Neutopia 1, it does use the File Cabinet (save files), so no need to use the passwords.

You can always use the suspend play too.

While not as good as Zelda, the musics were pretty sweet
