Click the Mii character for an extra 10 points

@kamifox1 Of course, but those lose their value so quickly. I mean, in the UK they usually charge £69.99 RRP for them.

Give it 6 months and this will be on sale for £12.99 on Amazon Prime just like the last one, and the one before it, and the one before that...

These deals make no sense discount vs. coins wise. Sometimes it's 90 points for 40% off. Sometimes it's 100 points. Sometimes 110. Now it's 140?

Nintendo can't even make their half-baked reward system equal...

For once, decent Nintendo advertising!

The one thing I have always worried about was their advertising, or lack thereof. Nintendo thought people would always love them so dropped the ball majorly in regards advertising and only chose to advertise what they thought were important games. To consumers, all games are important, especially if they have few to chose from - not just the few that Nintendo cherrypick for crappy adverts.

I really enjoyed the first Kirby 3D game and loved the mini-games. I'll pick this one up to at some point. Shame is is a whole £10 dearer on the eShop than retail...

Grr. I was looking forward to Persona Q at £8.99... How annoying. I was going to buy all 3 Etrian style games. Now I'll just buy 1.

I will happily use Miitomo to get my coins and items etc each day, but my one grip is that on my phone the app takes up 900MB of space!?

Why does it even need so much space?

I'm still hoping those prices above for the Atlus game reductions are typos and that Etrian Odyssey IV isn't only going down to £17.99 while everything else is £8.99.

Etrian Odyssey IV: Legends of the Titan (NIS America, €9.99 / £17.99, was €39.99/ £34.99)
Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth (NIS America, €19.99 / £8.99, was €39.99/ £34.99)

Those prices just make no sense, but who knows...

@SilentHunter382 What do you mean? Surely you get the same amount of Gold Coins per purchase regardless of whether you purchase them in May or June?

@gcunit Hopefully. I fancy Entrain Odyssey IV, but not if UK folks are having to pay more than double the price over EU folks...

I'll definitely be picking up Persona Q. Wanted it for ages, but didn't want to spend like £40 on it.

Etrian Odyssey IV: Legends of the Titan (NIS America, €9.99 / £17.99, was €39.99/ £34.99)
Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth (NIS America, €19.99 / £8.99, was €39.99/ £34.99)
Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers (NIS America, €9.99 / £8.99, was €39.99/ £34.99)
Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl (NIS America, €9.99 / £8.99, was €39.99/ £34.99)

Either there's a mistake in the article, or the pricing is wonky. Surely they should all go down to €9.99/£8.99?

I got the Wind Waker DLC today and Medli, but not the 16 costume pieces for the fairy Mode? Or does it mean there are 16 included in the Wind Waker Adventure Map?

I have a spare code for Nano Assault EX going if anybody wants it.
If someone has a code for Citizens of Earth on 3DS I'd be grateful for that

I already own Nano Assault EX, only bought it recently actually, but considering they are giving away Runbow, I don't care. This bundle is absolutely amazing value for money!

Card Jockey is really good fun, but Nintendo really?! Another 3DS non-3D game?! Urgh.

So now you can buy New Super Mario Bros, New Super Mario Bros + Luigi U, New Luigi U and New Luigi U DLC...

That'll confuse some folk

@Peterjr1 The problem is that Nintendo don't operate an RRP selling system in Europe so places can charge what they like and usually use the US price as a guideline...

@KingMike I guess that would make sense. When it's $39.99, we usually pay £39.99 - which is roughly £13 more.

@crimsontadpoles It's £26 online in most places. Second hand is less. Even with the 20% off it's still more...

So North America gets 10 separate deals and Europe gets 3... Nice to see we are being screwed over as usual with this stuff.

The deals also make no sense. Why does NA need 100 Gold points to get 30% off, yet Europe gets 40% off with the same?

Nintendo need to enter the real world. Xmas release is so important. They literally cannot afford to fail with the NX.

I purchased it. Was looking to get Darksiders II anyway and at that price with everything else included, it's a steal.

I'm sorry, but someone who spends £170 on that either has too much cash to burn or is stupid...

I downloaded it the other day and finally played it yesterday. It's a bit... meh. You move far too slowly and the R-camera is way to sluggish. Plus, aiming when shooting your gun? How?!

And I know graphics aren't everything, but man. This game looks like something from the original Wii. The production value is virtually nil. But hey - it's "free".

I really like the Gamepad, and it was one of the main reasons I purchased a Wii U. I love Off-TV gameplay and 2-player multiplayer. I hope the NX expands on it and make it more portable and gives it better battery life.

But, and this is a big but, it is hardly ever utilised - and even Nintendo themselves are guilt of being super lazy about this. Some games can't even be controlled on a basic level via touch! The amount of times I've wished I could just turn the screen off and play via the TV is ridiculous... It has been severely under utilised and that hasn't helped sales of the Wii U.

I think these special outfits should be Miimoto-only purchases, but if people want to spend Platinum Points on them that's fine by me.mI'll save mine up for things that are actually worthwhile.

However, where exactly can you spend real money in Miimoto? I've never noticed this. I have the app set to United Kingdom. Not that I plan on spending real money on it.

Instead of Nintendo Land and Wii Party U, which can be found for less than £20 normally anyway, Nintendo of Europe should have given us Super Mario 3D Land and Pikmin 3 - which have rocketed in price due to people on a certain bidding website selling them for up to £50...

I think the Gold Coin amounts have been advertised incorrectly.

I purchased a game for £2.79 the other day and got 10 Gold Points. So it must be the case that "£0-£8.99" gets you 10 Points.

@Nico07 Odd. I don't have this in my game box. Mine does not have the 3DS Theme download. I ordered from Amazon.co.uk.

It's a 3DS! What do people expect? The Wii U is a Full HD 60fps home games console...

I for one think the game runs extremely well on the New 3DS at least and it is one of the better action packed games on the 3DS.

I don't get the hatred towards the graphics and the pictures included in this article do the game no justice. OK, it doesn't look like the HD Wii U version, but it never was going to. But neither does it look so terrible that you can't work out what going on. I played the demo and from what I saw, it handles well, looks good for a 3DS game and the 3D effect doesn't hamper the gameplay at all on the New 3DS.

I owned the Wii U version, but since I no longer own a Wii U, , I am really looking forward to the 3DS version.

15?! Wow. Way to make a guy feel old...

I remember getting my GBA Silver edition for Xmas. My parents searched and searched and had to get a friend to buy one for me because they were in such high demand.

It's bound to be a failure, apart from with Nintendo diehards. I usually love most things Nintendo do, but this is trying to reinvent the wheel which has already been reinvented a million times over.

The explanation of what Miitomo is meant to be doesn't even make sense... "For example, if you're on the phone talking to a friend, and that friend says of a mutual friend, 'Hey, you'll never guess what Chris told me.' That person on the other end of the phone is your Mii. He's working for you."

What does that even mean?! Miitomo is a gossip app? We've already got that - it's called Facebook...

It's funny cause since this update my 3DS has been freezing and having issues connecting to the Internet...

I've collected quite a few badges and I've never spent a penny. OK, so you get a free theme if you do, but most of the themes are butt ugly

Am I the only person who thinks Sticker Star is good?!

I actually really like Rayman Origins on the 3DS - it has really great use of 3D! And it plays well.

I think there has been far to much criticism of this game. OK, yes, you could look at this as a cash-in, and yes it is underpowered compared to the glossy HD wii U version, but for a lot of people this will be the first time they have played the game and it is on 3DS, not known for its power.

The new 3DS version includes: all previously released DLC, features the ability to switch characters on the fly, and adds two new story chapters: one based around new character Linkle, and one featuring characters and environments from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker that serves as an epilogue. Tetra, King Daphnes and Toon Link, all from The Wind Waker, along with Skull Kid from Majora's Mask and the original character Linkle, the aforementioned girl who resembles Link, appear as new playable characters. The new characters can also be transferred to the Wii U version. The game's Adventure Mode features a new "My Fairy" system and an additional map inspired by The Wind Waker, as well as more costumes and a new Trident weapon for Ganondorf.

All of that for just £28 in the UK? I'm sold! I pre-ordered mine months ago.

Oh Nintendo... This system is totally weird. I have my NNID, my My Nintendo account and now I'm expected to get this thing too?! No wonder everything is going wrong for them. They are trying to reinvent the wheel. Just let us use our NNID account for everything. Please...

Pikmin for only £20?! When will they bring that out in the EU.

@EarthboundBenjy Oh the first game had a preclude demo too? I thought you meant the demo for the full first game. Sorry, man!

@EarthboundBenjy You click on "Bravely Default" and then on the bottom screen it says "Download Demo". It just isn't listed separately - 99% of demos aren't listed separately.
