And the award for Most Pathetic Developer 2014 goes to... ninjapigstudios.com Thank god the european eShop isn't polluted by this game. FYK, now you can buy SteamWorld Dig for € 4,49.
Why they don't just sell those useless amiibo extras (skins, weapons...) as other companies do? Are they afraid of calling them with their real name, "microtransictions"?
I love and buy Nintendo VIDEOGAMES.
When I see people buying these things while copies of Pikmin 3, Wonderful 101 and other great games collect dust on the shop shelves I just get mad!
Wii U: Tropical Freeze, Child of Light; 3DS: Fantasy Life and Shovel Knight.
@ThomasBW84 Talking about release disparities, don't forget that some of those 3ds retail games arrived in EU only via eShop!
Am I wrong or these Amiibo only unlock something that an update added to the game software? I mean, Toad seems perfect for themed DLC, but why should I need to buy those expensive figurines for unlocking extra levels that I can simply buy on the eShop? I'm sure Amiibo will only be used for little extras as costumes.
Microsoft is selling many 360 games for less than € 5 in Europe too. Thanks Nintendo for not sharing these discounts with EU... Wait, Darksiders II retail is € 10 everywhere! Oh dear.
They say "No more booklets so we'll save the planet" and then they produce this crap. These useless boxes are ugly and have no value for collectors. Just release NPF worldwide, idiots!
Ok. This makes me wonder why they worked so long and hard to port a game that surely will sell bad instead of creating a sequel for ZombiU that would sell well.
I don't know how it works in US, but here in EU we use to buy presents for kids even for January 6th (another christian holyday). Nintendo is just saying: buy your kids a WiiU + Mario World for Christmas and come back for Toad Treasure.
EDIT: game available in EU January 9th, according to Amazon (€ 39) and Gamestop (€ 59)! What?
@retro_player_22 Making these Sega remakes can't be so expensive and hard. I'd prefer to see Nintendo treating only their best games in Sega style instead of porting even their worst **** just to fill up the VC list.
I'll play some Fatal Frame 2 Wii edition. If I had to choose between those in your list, Luigi's DM is the best one, and ZombiU in Survivor mode is a real nightmare!
I'm glad I can't play MM on my gamepad, buying it on the eShop for € 10; I prefer to wait for a full price 3ds version. Yes. Good job Nintendo! We love the WiiU VC!!!
Argh... I don't have enough time to enjoy Hyrule Warriors and Fantasy Life! How can I play this too? I prefer to wait other two weeks and enjoy the game as brand new.
eShop: the game costs XX, you don't have that nice box and you can't sell it. Retail: the game costs very often less than XX, you have that nice box with it and you can sell it.
As @Emblem said: "You know what? F*%k Atlus. Sincerely yours, UK & Europe."
Etrian Odissey IV it's € 40 ($ 50) here in Europe and SMT IV just doesn't exist!
@JibberX @Peach64 I had the same feeling... BTW, an italian review says that the Wii U port is as good as the 360 version, but the touchscreen controls are quite bad...
Just played the first mission twice and I already love this game, even if I've spent most of the time switching between Zelda and Warriors controls style... At the end I had to chose the Zelda style because I refuse to open a chest using Y instead of A
I'm sure I'm gonna love this because I can't care less about multiplayer and FMV.
"For those that come in expecting a classic Legend of Zelda adventure this could potentially be an underwhelming experience".
What? Did the Mario Kart 8 review end with: "For those that come in expecting a classic Super Mario platform this could potentially be an underwhelming experience"?
@rjejr The cartoon Link had wonderful expressions; maybe I love WW so much because I still laugh hard at his scary face when he walks on a edge of the wall! And his eyebrows...!!!
@rjejr If they will be able to mix the funny stealth gameplay seen in Windwaker with the insane action of this spin-off, then the next Zelda U will be the best ever!
I just hoped they were spending time in using wisely the gamepad (with gyroscopes and the touchscreen that can emulate all those buttons it seems the perfect steering wheel) instead of simulating every single raindrop...

Wow, both Nano and Balance for less than € 15! A great chance for those who just bought a Wii U for these holidays.

Stop showing me the next Yoshi! I'm gonna CRY! (best looking game ever, IMO)

Ok. This, Yoshi, Kirby, Toad, Starfox, X...
@Peach64 Maybe Starfox will surprise us as the unexpected Hyrule Warriors did.
Re: Club Nintendo Now Offering Festive 8-Bit Mario Wrapping Paper in Europe and Australia
Two piece of paper for € 250/300 spent on games. Not bad.

Re: Mario & Donkey Kong Double Set and Nintendo Pocket Football Heading to Retail in Europe
@Tobias95 @GAMEandASH And what if they sell just cases? In that way, users could just design and print their covers for digital games.

Re: Suda51 Explains The Origins Of No More Heroes And Its Waggle-Based Swordplay
@millarrp They already ported it on PS3 in 2011, so they could easily put that version on eShop, supporting both Gamepad and Wiimote.
Re: Video: This Is What Watch Dogs Looks Like On Wii U
Ok. This makes me wonder why they worked so long and hard to port a game that surely will sell bad instead of creating a sequel for ZombiU that would sell well.
Re: Talking Point: The amiibo Range Grows, Yet Key Questions Remain
I'd love to pay $ 10 for one of these things, but living in Italy I can't find them anywhere for less than € 15 ($ 18)...

Re: Expect To See More Spin-Off Titles Like Hyrule Warriors In 2015, Says Miyamoto
Batman Arkham Asylum should be the standard for a new 3d Metroid game.
Nintendo seriously lacks an ARPG. A Monolith one per generation is not enough.
Re: SEGA Confirms Second Batch of 3D Classics for the West
Funny how Sega teaches Nintendo how to port old games on their console...
Re: Polychromatic Extravaganza de Blob Will Be Making A Comeback Soon
Loved the first one on the Wii. I still have to play the second one, but I think I'll go for the 360 version to enjoy HD.

Re: Review: Hyrule Warriors (Wii U)
@Damo; can you tell us if you reviewed an already patched version of the game? Or will we have to download the update to see everything?
