Cheaper than I thought! Any idea of the file size?

I already spent +70 hours in the Commonwealth and I just scratched the surface of Fallout 4. I'm sure it will be the same with this!

@The_BAAD_Man They are selling 8 GB SD cards for € 30!!! Don't miss them!

@riChchestM I'm referring to those deals one can find not only in indie gaming shops but also in some unexpectable supermarket. I live in a small italian city and we are stuck in 20th century, but it seems that wandering around in those dusty shops with moustached old ladies it's better than surfing the net... If I find something I'll let you know because SM3DW deserves to be played!

Luckly Europe got the incredible official Nintendo cyber deals!!! Super Mario 3D World is € 35 and The Wonderful 101 only € 30!
Why buy them physical for less money when you can pay more to install them in an external HD?
:shit:

@Kolzig The audio files can be very huge (for example the pal version of Fallout 4 is 13GB bigger than the US/UK version) and maybe they just decide to cut the dual audio option at its root...

@GLA Europe will have eShop "deals" from 27 to 30.

The US list of so called "deals" is out. Some games are $ 10 more expensive than I spent for their retail version. Enjoy the Nintendo difference!!!

@FX102A Since now I just moved all my biggest games to a cheap 16GB flashdrive to free space for the data packs. Y cables are fine for self-powered hard disks and I'd go for a Western Digital: it all depends on how big Neo Fast Racing will be!

@Humphries90 If you go digital you won't need these since they are included in the game file. These are for retail version only. They didn't say anything about pre-downloading the entire game.

99% a 3/10.
1% a 5/10.
And good choice to release it next to XCX and Fast Racing Neo.

Nintendo just forgot about some of its IPs and had to spend time creating those shovelware games that not even third parties create anymore.
Finger crossed for Zelda U in 2016; let's hope it's at least as good as Dragon's Dogma (2012)...

@Ryu_Niiyama Shinen and Image & Form should then release their game in German and Swedish worldwide? I bet americans will be fine that, especially since no US gamer complain about XCX being in UK English instead of US English...

Great graphics, poor single player experience and online rankings to justify everything. Sounds like the generic insult to Sony or Microsoft games...
BTW, who cares? Waiting for XCX I can play Fallout 4!

@RadioShadow If you want a Mario Kart 8 comparison, imagine it with only one track for one-lap races on self breaking karts.

Here's the review:

Reading other reviews this seems like an HD downgraded port of the 3ds version. Need more content? Buy Amiibos!
Mario Tennis: Ultra sMeh!

Bought at day one. I still love the gamepad, even if the games that used it at its best were not Nintendo games (Zombi U, Deus EX, Monster Hunter 3U, Lego City...) and that's a shame.

Looks good, but since I already have the game, I'll wait for a lucky discount as I did with WW HD.

Fallout 4 + XCX = see you in Spring!

Spirit Tracks was so bad that I sold it as soon as I finished it, but I liked Phantom Hourglass. It sure looked great on an old DS!

This is surely the best game of the Direct but is seems Nintendo prefers Amiibos... Wait! Can't they add Amiibo support to introduce themed craft?

@VanillaLake Maybe it will be even more than € 60 thanks to another useless piece of plastic called Amiibo.

Just give me a release date for Fast Racing Neo. All the rest will be easily forgotten until Spring 2016 thanks to XCX.

Never played Minecraft so now I can give it a chance especially if the gamepad is well supported. The retail version is € 20 for all the other consoles. Will this be € 30 and digital only?!?

@GreatPlayer I'm in Italy, where a retail version of the game is supposed to exist, but obviously Nintendo didn't print enough copies. Will I spend € 120 for buying it on eBay? No way! Will I spend more than € 100 for an hard disk + digital version of the game? No way.
Well done, Nintendo!

@BaffleBlend
Most digital-only sentiments I've seen amount to elitism. "I don't give in to the retail trends, therefore I am BETTER than you sheeple" and all that. And not only has those attitudes made me better accept retail games, it has actively turned me away from buying digital.
You guys who think like that literally sound like those hipsters who insist on listening to mp3 tracks only just because they're sold by "the man".

"Ambient noise often plays through the GamePad speakers"
I was thinking about buying headphones for my tv... Will I miss something if games use pad speakers or will all the audio moved to headphones?

I've already ordered "Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water Limited Physical Edition"!

It's 2015 and we are celebrating a price cut for 3/4 years old games!
The Nintendo expensive difference!

Now just add a crafts' editor and it's done!

We all love Merluzzi and this is how we cook them in Italy:

(merluzzi is the italian for codfishes!)

I think I spent more than 50 hours with it thanks to Survivor mode. If you are a parent and you wanna teach your kids to close the ******* door, just let them play this game! Waiting for Fatal Frame V now...

I was one of the mad ones screaming "I have to buy a PS4 now!" after E3 and thank god I bought one, so I've something to play until XCX.

Considering that I've spent less than € 60 to buy Vanquish, Binary Domain, Metal Gear Rising and Shadows of the Damned I'll sure skip this, saving money for Fatal Frame LE!

The retail version will have a "lavish instruction booklet"!!!

Once the gaming industry will go digital-only I'll finally have a good reason to stop playing videogames after 25 years. Since you can't sell or borrow a digital game, you are just renting it! DD games sometimes costs more than their physical counterpart so all the "no printing manuals and cds and boxes that have to be delivered by a truck in a shop" is just a crappy joke. Customers just like to be cheated...

And the best one is Pictobits!

Hi Reggie, do you want easy money? Ask Zen Studios to create Nintendo themed pinballs and once you have 10 tables, go retail for € 30.
BTW, why do people still think that the problem with Federation Force is its artstyle?

@IceClimbers
It seems that IGN Italy is a bit wiser than its american counterpart, especially since the only game that had a lower score in Italy is the slightly disappointing (at least for me) Kirby, who received a 7.9 (instead of an 8), while Mario Party got an 8 (6.5), Splatoon an 8.2 (7.9) and Yoshi an 8.2 (7.4).

P.S.
If I'm lucky I'll receive my copy tomorrow, but guys, please don't hate me because saturday I'll leave home for a job in a summer camp. Hope I'll be able to finish it in September...

My biggest concern with the Gamepad now is: will it fall off my hands or will I throw it in the air while playing Fatal Frame? This is the reason why they decided to release it worldwide: many Gamepads will be destroyed because of the scariest game ever!
BTW, crossed fingers for Starfox...

Reviewers and users seems to agree: an original but short game (3 hours) focused more on storytelling than gameplay.

I wonder if someone already invented a software that randomly create this kind of news: just insert "Nintendo Brand + Software House + Wii U" and the magic begins!

@Alucard83 He wrote "So while it's undemanding to complete almost any stage in less than five minutes, doing so with the full set of collectables in tow requires scrupulous scavenging and sleuthing, and some of the most fiendishly concealed secrets will evade your best search efforts for upwards of half an hour" than complained because game is too basic, with hard to find collectibles and - this is the best part - "Visuals won't impress everyone"... Poor guy...

Multiplayer.it gave it a 9.
And "La granda bellezza" (The great beauty) became "La grande morbidezza" (The great softness).
http://multiplayer.it/recensioni/151513-yoshis-woolly-world-la-grande-morbidezza.html

Yoshi, Fatal Frame and XCX for sure.
I hope Nintendo will put Project Zero 2 on eShop: the controls were quite bad on Wii, but if they switch them to the gamepad I'm sure the fans will download it even if they already have it as I would do.

@OlicityBlows Are you saying that you'd prefer an old turn based Fire Emblem with shiny HD graphics on your WiiU? Well, me too. But at least FE still lives on 3DS... And this looks enough crazy to be interesting. If the combat system works, then I'll have no problem.

BTW, do we need a microphone to play this?

Holy... Why closing the article with Metroid Prime: Federation Force again!? Is this the NEW thing Nintendo needs? A mobile look-a-like multiplayer shooter on an handeld? This is gettin' ridicolous.
Nintendo needs a huge ActionRPG based on Zelda, a huge first person adventure game based on Metroid, an amazing racer based on F-Zero, a huge turn based RPG based on Fire Emblem to attract new gamers and to satisfy the aged ones and finally selling the Wii U.

I read the title and thought: "Wow, are they are gonna announce something else!?!" and then I realize is just Tom telling us the the glass is half full of stagnant water...
Try again.

And a recent tweet by Shin'en says:
"By the way, we only showcased the "Subsonic League" at Treehouse.
This is the slowest of all leagues "
Can't imagine the fastest one!

Fast Racing NEO looks fabolous!
