Come on, Ubisoft... Really? I mean, REALLY...

I hope he and Yokoi-san will see each other again, now. RIP, Nobuo Nagai.

I'm actually really happy there aren't any boss fights! I hate 'em. Sometimes in a platformer you can feel when a boss challenge feel like it's shoe-horned in, and I definitely didn't want that for this. I will buy this as soon as I can!

Wow! I'm really happy NOA posted a heads up about this! Looking forward to this game greatly, although I'm torn between this and Mutant Mudds... gotta save cash for Uprising and Xenoblade!

Looks like I'll have to skip a meal to avoid this puppy! ...kidding. Seriously, people? Since when is NINE DOLLARS a lot for a video game, and an amazing looking one at that?

It looks AMAAAAZING. My mind is blown. Although the "Kalamari!! Sucker..." line seriously made me cringe. So bad... just like E3 2010's "BARK LIKE A DAAUUUUGGG."

You know you're a nerd when you get chills at the end because Mario and Sonic did that cool, bro-hand thing. They're buds. The '90s kid in me is so happy. :')

This looks absolutely amazing. I doubt it will be localized, but I will hold out hope that Nintendo sees the cash behind the Pokemon brand!

So the RE demo was okay. The graphics are absolutely amazing! Gorgeous, even. I also liked the fact that you could change the dialog to it's native Japanese. I got really scared while playing, and the music was totally complimentary to the atmosphere. However, I'm glad the demo came out because it has reassured my notion that I won't be picking this up. RE games just aren't for me. I appreciate the game though!

Meh, you guys got Xenoblade, Last Story, and that demo of cooking mama today. I'd say we're even. :3

@vonseux: How was it not free? Nintendo definitely didn't /have/ to start up the Ambassador Program!

This isn't as bad as I thought it would BEE. jajaja

It's easy for you guys in Europe to call out the Americans for whining (and I totally admit I have been doing so incessantly) because you guys have been getting everything early AND coupled with announcements so you know when things actually happen! I feel like America's the new Europe of the '90s... wouldn't be surprised if the American Wii U only ran in 50HZ. Regardless, I'm happy we're getting this tomorrow, awesome.

Oh, look. NOE giving Europe a heads up. Weird, though, don't see anything on NOA's end...

I've been complaining a lot about NOAmerica lately. And for anyone that's doubted me, you know you've got it bad when NOAustralia, infamous for the poopery, get something awesome before you do, with no announcement for your country in sight. Ace!

I think it's really dumb. Everybody picking Maka Wahu just completely ruins the fun. What's the point? Yes, you will win; what does THAT lead to afterward? The point of playing MK7 online is to have fun, but if the outcome is predetermined, or you're only racing on one course, well... it stinks. But if you can't beat 'em...

@sc100 Maybe Starfox, but definitely not earthbound... D':

Guys, stop whining! Isn't it good to have the releases be limited so they don't run out titles right away? I feel like it's much more fun to have releases slow to a trickle, it makes each week fun to wait for, rather than having every game they intend on releasing already there. It means if there's a game you want, there's still a chance it could be there. It doesn't mean Nintendo is abandoning these services if they don't get attention. First you guys were complaining about the lack of 3DSWare. And we get some, and nobody's happy! I don't understand...

Disgusting.

@Portisanta: I'm sure James thanks you. ;]

For those of you saying the price is too high, and that $8 is more feasible, listen to yourselves. It is a two dollar difference you're whining about, here. I'm sure it's worth the price!

I hate NOA so much. Soooo much. They're really letting me down as of late. Like that rad contest Europe is getting on Club Nintendo? And the lack of Kid Icarus? Even if it is coming out next week, NOE has been filling in their fans about the 3D Classic Kid Icarus for weeks now, even going so far as to let them know when it will be released. Whereas I get a little sad we didn't get Swapnote, it's not included on the Thursday DL update, and then out of nowhere, it's just there. Super dumb.

Where's my eShop love for Freakyforms?!

When someone says someone "outs" something, doesn't that mean they scratch it off from happening? Like, "Well, that's out." Huh. Anyway, never played the first one, so. Yeah.

@Birdman13 click on the game and when you try to purchase, click "add necessary funds" or whatever it says. It should add the remaining 58 cents you need.

How will the many unique features of the 3DS does this game take advantage of (ie: Spotpass, Streetpass, Play Coins, etc.)

Will the original build of the game for the first DS ever see the light of day?

@James, I know, but there are instances where a European 3DSware is released weeks if not months before NOA gets it. There are also instances where Europe will get a game that North America will not. Though the original DS is region-free, I was fortunate that Tingle's Freshly Picked Rosy Rupee Land was released in Europe. I also had to import a European Wii for Xenoblade. I enjoy having consoles from every region to get the most gameplay imaginable!

May I ask why it's only for European residents? I personally would've loved to enter, seeing as how Nintendo of Europe has been on a winning streak of gold compared to NOA.

Oh, look. Nintendo of America has no update regarding this. I'm not surprised, and peeved!

This is so stupid. I mean, congrats, Europe, but seriously. Where's the love for America lately? Getting Xenoblade was awesome, but we've heard nothing else about the OpRa titles, and we get no announcements or updates for /anything./ NOA is really slacking. Big time. Pick up the pace, Reggie.

Knowing King of Games, I'm sure it will cost way too much.

o hai my name's NOE. I've picked up the pace in recent years, and am now superior to NOA.

Seriously, though, NOE is really rocking. NOA didn't even announce the VC games for Ambassadors last Friday, how was anyone who didn't frequent NL supposed to know?

@mariofanatic128

That's a really stupid reason to not get a game. A really, really dumb reason. Talk about limiting the games you actually play.

Can anyone vouch for if the GBA games have a terrible resolution, like original DS games.

It's pretty lame that Nintendo didn't REALLY remake it in 3D, ala Excitebike and that fighting game who's name escapes me. A touch of depth is pretty cool, but it would be great if they tried a little harder with this one. Kirby deserves it.

Sunday can't come soon enough. As a direct prequel to OoT, I don't doubt that this might even top it!

Seriously, Nintendo? Seriously? How this makes sense is beyond me. I bought a 3DS specifically for OoT:3D... and I definitely would have bought this one if it was released simultaneously, as that would make sense. Guh.

If it's only in black, I'm going to poop in frustration. Seems like it's gonna be that way though, because we have yet to see any other colors...

Chances of this coming out in America? Zero.

I agree with the score. I also have been having so much fun with this!

How did this not get a 10?! It's one of the best! It's impossible to play this without a smile.

@ DrCruse: The Virtual Boy wasn't even a handheld!! Portable, sure, I really guess so, but it definitely had a controller and went around your head.

This is a fantastic article, and brings up some interesting points. I'm really fond of repackaging the remastered games as a series, and selling them for maybe $20. I didn't even think of that possibility, which seems like it would be a great idea.

That was the main qualm many of my friends had; They couldn't justify paying $40 for Star Fox and Ocarina because they could get it for $30 less on the virtual console, and many could argue that there isn't enough value in the remasters to warrant the extra $30.

Personally, I would love more remakes done by Grezzo, they've done a great job!

Totally rad, thanks, Nintendo!

To everyone whining about the Virtual Console service:

Seriously, what is your beef? Yes, there aren't new Wii VC games, but that was because when the service started, we'd be getting 2/3 a week! Eventually, Nintendo is going to run out of their back catalog, and the VC will be rendered obsolete after that. Personally, I'm glad that Nintendo is taking their time releasing Game Boy games, that way in a few years, everyone won't be complaining about how Nintendo has to pick up the pace.

Just be grateful that we have such an excellent service. And to those arguing, "Oh, people could emulate this stuff for cheaps," not everyone wants to break the law. /rant

When I talk to my friends about playing some Smash, I specify short hand by saying, "Hey, let's play some Brawl!" or "Wanna play some Melee?"

But, "Wanna plays some Universe?" sounds really dumb. I'm pretty sure this isn't real.

Awww, no love for SF643D? :< Poor Fox...

Again, it still doesn't explain why they failed to use play coins or street pass for any aspect. You know a company has a problem when a 3rd Party Company is using your hardware better than you are.

Still doesn't explain the lack of streetpass for highscores or wevs... ._.;;

It looks so beautiful. Really well put together trailer.
