I have a sneaking suspicion that there will be many bargain bins full of the Amiibo figures nobody will want, such as the wii fit trainer, and possibly Marth.

I say let these people exercise their consumer right to play games region-free. If you own a game, you have every right to play it on your own console. This is what this will predominantly be used for... These doomsday predictions are rather pathetic.

If Nintendo allowed us to play snes games etc, people would be less likely to emulate in the first place.

I imagine it won't be anything too drastic; c-stick for camera, and perhaps they will optimise the game to work with the faster processor, so that we might be able to run the game at 60Hz?

@The_Ninja
They made the Zelda Oracle games, Four Swords and Minish cap. That love could involve more great adventure games.

@Storytime7
I would say it's good, but not "the best game ever made" as some people say. It has enough flaws to detract from the experience.

The most overrated game in the Zelda series. A considerable number of people say it's their favourite, usually because it's likely the only one they have played.

@kamifox1
DSi (and the 3DS) do not region lock DS games, but games which were made especially to work with DSi exclusive features were locked. So, for example, the DS remake of Fire Emblem Monsho no Nazo was able to play on any region DS, but would only use the DSi online features on Japanese DSi consoles... There weren't many DSi exclusives, which is probably why you might not have known about this.

@AlexSora89
My point exactly.

@Nico07
Thanks.

@ULTRA-64
Forgive me for asking, but do you mean the Nintendo network premium, from buying the premium pack, and if so, why and when is it ending?

@Warbeard
You know... I don't actually have a Wii U yet...

@readyletsgo
You shouldn't reply to them. Just report them. Mentioning the post makes people more likely to see it, and more likely to follow the spam. Anyway...

@Sforzando @123akis
I heard that the issue with flipnote studio was that there was a huge server overload even in Japan, so they wouldn't ("can't") release it worldwide. Of course, this is a pretty poor excuse, considering that they solved it for Pokémon bank and the eshop last year, within a few weeks, and it's been six whole months!!! I've even seen an early version in action, so the game is fully functioning. They should at least release the DSi version for 3DS until they solve these 'issues'. It would be better than nothing, after all.

When we Europeans get Warioware twisted

@darthllama @ikki5
Ok, basically the games are crap, but believe me, you would not buy most of the plastic tat, even if it was available to you in the USA. However, I'm sure you'll agree that NOA does not hate you, as some people on the comments here are suggesting. What's the saying? "The grass is always greener on the other side."

@ikki5
There has not been a game there for years, and this single game was utter rubbish. In vast contrast, your games get updated every month, and at least you have them. In addition to this since, I don't know, 1985, games have always released in the USA first, or not at all in Europe. I was merely pointing out that the USA has been, is, and always will be the region in which Nintendo focuses most on.

@TheWPCTraveler
Speaking of Fire Emblem, a FE mobile game would be fun, rather like FF Crystal Defenders?

@Cyb3Rnite
Why make such accusations? I played them, and found them to be lacking. Perhaps "rubbish" is too strong a word, but I certainly thought they were very poor in some areas. That's it.

@KillScottKill
It's because we've got to a point where we will have remakes of remakes soon. Also, we wouldn't be able to catch all the 'classic' new creatures, would we?

@Tsurii897
Some people might not share the same viewpoint as yourself, however

@Dipper723
Actually, the emulator supports wireless data transfer, you can do something similar on the VC release of the Zelda Oracle games to transfer save data to continue on another copy of the game. So I would say there is a point.

So, the rubbish spin-offs. Where's Pokemon:
Red,
Blue,
Green for Japan,
Yellow,
Blue for Japan,
Gold,
Silver,
Crystal,

Stadium,
Stadium 2,
Snap,

And those are just the original GB titles!
What about
Ruby,
Sapphire,
Emerald.
FireRed,
LeafGreen,
Coliseum,
XD,
All the others?

@DarkKirby
Also, am i right in saying they don't let you use most legendary 'mon anyway in the leagues? So breeding would probably get round it?

I never thought I'd see the sort of spam in comment #133 on Nintendo Life... Everyone report them! Do not reply!

Now, it's gone.

@eza
That's like asking the secret police to reveal mass censorship, I suspect your request will be ignored...

I (attempt to) read the whole thing. They could say practically anything, and nobody would bat an eyelid!

@rjejr
Amazon UK sell systems. The thing is, I suspect they just haven't sold enough consoles in the US (wii u), and people just end up buying them from shops as they are about the same price as online. And so they haven't bothered to order another lot of shipping containers from Nintendo. Also, they're tax avoiders. They are evil, and the corpse-lord Jeff Bezos is their cruel cult master. Who knows the machinations of a despot's mind?

@Serebii
Not everyone lives near a place where they are distributed, and surely you agree that putting the data in game, but making them perpetually inaccessible is a bit unfair, especially with the older games? Also, it's a bit embarrassing to go to a game store and asking for a Pokemon. Sometimes the shop staff and other customers laugh at you, because this is a game targeted primarily at kids...

@Serebii
They mean normally catching them, in tandem with their silly real world 'events'. They should just make the events WiFi only, although I doubt they ever will.

@QuickSilver88
We need a cheaper wii u, but removing the ability to play wii games?! It would be a public relations nightmare, not to mention that it wouldn't actually reduce any costs, as it really is just a disc drive and a posh emulator. The gamepad is poorly implemented, but then many games wouldn't work, so it would not really be of benefit. What they need to do is to stop selling all the 'accessories' with it. This means no more gamepad stands, etc etc, just console, gamepad, wires, game (cheap disc or code). No frills attached. They need to sell it simply- "You buy console. You plug it in. You have fun." Then they need to sell it at that price for a year or two, then put the price down again. And again. They also need the included standard game to be a recognisable title, that repetitive launch Mario title, a la Mario world. And they need it at the forefront of shops. And in prime time telly. And they need it cheaper- £150 to £200 tops. Then it would sell. Reducing price worked for 3ds, after all!

These comments give this site a bad name. I suspect this was more of a joke than anything, a sort of Nintendo bait!

I love how the games had an emulator for the Gameboy games, if you plugged them into the whatsit accessory, it played them on the big screen!

Why do the comments always descend into a ridiculous pedantic argument about altruistic legal values? I'm not going to name any names, but you should all just take a step back and stop moaning about a project that isn't even finished!

Is that Southern Island I see on the map?! Please let it be!

I hope these don't end up like the inverted jenny...

I've just received one. Thanks, nintendolife! This was a much fairer way of distributing than the Smash bros. ones. I hope we get something like this in future!

It was inevitable, really!

@unrandomsam
Then they should improve it. That's like a government saying that their capital city is already perfect so they're going to abandon all public services, maintenance of the streets and police, fire and ambulance services to all other cities. And why is it at all relevant that people have supposedly stopped buying retail 3DS games? Isn't the point of VC that you download them? And it's besides the point that the handheld seems to be going from strength to strength... Explain yourself!

@Krambo42
I agree, all that I am saying is that it would be natural to put them on 3DS first, considering they wrote a working emulator and everything already, and that they are designed for handhelds. They should just release each title on each console at the same time (within reason), since development is very similar on each, and both can easily handle running older games. I see your reasoning, though.

We need GBA games on 3DS. What's the point of releasing games designed for handhelds on a console first? They're shooting themselves in the foot.

@AVahne
I don't believe the OS actually changed, they just removed the GameCube ports, and set it to read GameCube controllers as never being plugged in.

@EarthboundBenjy
Yes. Although where you found a copy of Radiant Dawn is beyond me. Lucky

@Sakura
That game just used motion. It did it well enough though

@Dragoon04
Nintendo didn't actually make the magazine. And for readers like myself, it is a big deal. An inevitable one, but it is still a bad thing.

@MasterS7000
It's been down frequently as well.

@Zombie_Barioth
I don't think we should forgive them. They are not hobbyists, they are a game company. If they wanted help they could have taken inspiration from Coliseum, or XD, on the GameCube. They make a huge amount of money out of the game, they ought to have made the engine better.

@unrandomsam
They were merely high quality textures and settings. Which happened to be utterly broken. They could have added them in but I suppose they just couldn't be bothered, but certainly it was PR suicide to have a tech demo look better than the real thing.
