I don't think I'll be buying this. I have TP and if they want me to buy it again they're going to need to add a lot of extra content to justify the purchase. Slightly prettier visuals do not justify $60 to me.
@Therockbrothers I don't know about Nintendo UK, but NOA gives a year warranty with every system. If you go to their support site it can tell you if your system is still under warranty.
Global sales to date (according to VGChartz): Wii U - 10.4 million units Xbox One - 13.9 million units PS4 - 25.4 million units 3DS - 54.1 million units
So, Metroid is my favorite game franchise, period. As a Metroid fan, I am disappointed that once again they haven't given us a new actual Metroid game with isolated exploration, which is the core of the franchise. I agree with you guys, this game looks quite fun, in fact I'll most likely pick it up and enjoy it, but honestly after this long it's hard not to be saddened that Metroid is apparently now a multiplayer shooter. Fans are disappointed and the easiest way to deal with disappointment is rage, and of course the target will be Federation Force. I hope it's amazing and does well, simply so Nintendo doesn't ax the IP all together, but I still want Dread or something similar
I know I ALWAYS say this on Ubi articles, so I apologize in advance, but I CANNOT support this company in any way. I just don't want the way they practice business to become the norm in the industry. We, as consumers, would be completely worked over for every penny we have if this ever happened. So sorry, Ubisoft, change your ways or never see my (and hopefully many others) money again.
@Isaggi The site is glitchy. Just keep trying, it did both things to me and I was finally able to get Animal Crossing (after trying for around 2 hours)
Site finally comes back up and I can FINALLY log in, and it's saying my reward has already been redeemed. Nintendo, I love you dearly, but invest some of all that cash you have on better servers, PLEASE!!
@GloryQuestor Thanks for the review!! I've been waiting for one from NL, but after reading yours, I think I'll pick this one up. How's the gear? Is there a lot of loot to pick up?
You can get it for Wii U for around $20. I think that's a good deal. What I would do is skip 3U for 3DS and just get it for Wii U (since it has online) and get 4U for 3DS when you pick one up.
@polivar4 I agree, but I think I'd rather have a separate Wii U game built from the ground up for the system. MH3U was awesome, but you could tell it was just an HD version of a Wii game.
I don't give my money to Ubisoft. Period. They've said so much bad about Nintendo (we're all kiddie gamers) and PC (that we're all pirates) gamers that I'm done with them.
I have a physical copy of Prime Trilogy, so I'm going to pass on these, but seriously, if you don't have it, download it now. You'll NEVER find it this cheap EVER.
Another lazy effort from Ubisoft for the Wii U. I'm so jaded and done with this company I've even decided to pass on Rayman Legends, even though I was very excited for that game, because I'm DONE giving them any of my money. I hope Ubi never releases another Wii U game again, we deserve better efforts from better companies.

@PeterAndCompany Follow Jools Watsham on Twitter. He updates all the time. It's passed the first lot check.

Re: Spooky StreetPass Event Coming To North America In Time For Halloween
And I just sent my N3DS XL in for repairs yesterday. Looks like I won't be participating . . .
Re: There's a Free Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate 3DS HOME Theme Coming to Europe
Seriously, this is one of if no the best game on the 3DS. I'm thrilled it's selling so well.
Re: Nintendo Download: 22nd October (North America)
Meh. Not really interested in any of these. And I wasn't a fan of the Triforce Heroes demo.
Re: Review: The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes (3DS)
I wasn't a huge fan of the demo. This might be a pick up once I'm done with everything else game for me.
Re: Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate Passes Four Million Global Sales
If any game deserved this success, it's MH4U. It's just an amazing Monster Hunter game. I really hope Nintendo keeps it on their platforms.
Re: Climate "Not Healthy" For Dedicated Handheld Games Consoles, Says Sony's Shuhei Yoshida
@Damo I hadn't thought of that, good point. Still, though, Nintendo is showing with the 3DS that there is a market.
Re: Climate "Not Healthy" For Dedicated Handheld Games Consoles, Says Sony's Shuhei Yoshida
Global sales to date (according to VGChartz):
Wii U - 10.4 million units

PS4 - 25.4 million units
3DS - 54.1 million units
Um . . . okay
Re: Mario History: New Super Mario Bros. 2 & U - 2012
@Takerkaneanite6 Nope, I did, too. It was a solid platformer/Mario game, for sure.
Re: Nintendo Announces Another Run of the Splatoon Testfire Demo
Awesome!! But I'll just stick the actual full game
Re: Zombi Reveal Trailer Suggests That Wii U Gamers Need Not Be Too Jealous
A lazy port from UBISOFT!? **Gasps in surprise**
Re: Review: Castle Conqueror EX (3DS eShop)
I bought this game. Wish I could get my money back. It's awful.
Re: Nintendo Download: 25th June (North America)
What a weak week
Did you see what I did there?

Re: Iwata Vows To Listen To E3 2015 Digital Event Feedback And "Work To Better Meet Your Expectations"
This is why I love Nintendo. They acknowledge their mistakes. They don't always fix them, but they at least acknowledge them
Re: Metroid Prime: Federation Force Is The Metroid Game You Didn't Expect, Or Perhaps Want
Watching the Treehouse this actually looks pretty good. I'll pick it up for sure, but I still want a classic style Metroid before I die (I'm 30)
Re: Metroid Prime: Federation Force Is The Metroid Game You Didn't Expect, Or Perhaps Want
I wanted a classic style Metroid, but honestly it's been so long I'll take anything as long as it's good.
Re: Feature: Our Hopes and Dreams for Nintendo at E3 2015
Metroid. Metroid. Metroid. Metroid. METROID.
I'll be happy if that's all they talk about.
Re: Unofficial Metroid Prequel Uses The Original NES Hardware To Impressive Effect
I hope Nintendo doesn't kill this. SOMEBODY needs to give us new Metroid games (I kinda like the series, in case you couldn't tell from my avatar)
Re: Nintendo Download: 16th April (North America)
I picked up a perfect condition DK64 cartridge from a thrift store recently for $10, so I think I'll play that. I still have my N64 hooked up

Re: Nintendo Reveals the Final Club Nintendo Elite Rewards
@Isaggi The site is glitchy. Just keep trying, it did both things to me and I was finally able to get Animal Crossing (after trying for around 2 hours)
Re: Nintendo Reveals the Final Club Nintendo Elite Rewards
@jahasnell I did. Gave up, but tried again about 5 minutes ago and it let me. Keep trying, or try later. It hasn't actually been redeemed
Re: Nintendo Reveals the Final Club Nintendo Elite Rewards
@sm0k I was joking, your kid deserves it more than I do.
Re: Nintendo Reveals the Final Club Nintendo Elite Rewards
@sm0k I'll take yours if you don't want it . . .
Re: Nintendo Reveals the Final Club Nintendo Elite Rewards
I'm giving up on redeeming mine today. It just isn't working and is getting frustrating. Has anybody been able to at all?
Re: Nintendo Reveals the Final Club Nintendo Elite Rewards
@business-scrub Yep, I've had that, among other errors. It's actually kind of amusing to see all the different error messages it's giving.
Re: Nintendo Reveals the Final Club Nintendo Elite Rewards
Site finally comes back up and I can FINALLY log in, and it's saying my reward has already been redeemed.
Nintendo, I love you dearly, but invest some of all that cash you have on better servers, PLEASE!!
Re: Nintendo Reveals the Final Club Nintendo Elite Rewards
Went to get Animal Crossing, and the site went down. Darn it all . . .
Re: Video: Extended SteamWorld Heist Gameplay Trailer Shows Off Latest Build
I need this game, NOW.
Re: Remake Request: Super Metroid 3D on Nintendo 3DS
SO MUCH YES!!! PLEASE!!!
...I really like Super Metroid. It's my favorite game of all time.
Re: Feature: Why We're Still Playing... Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate After Dozens of Hours
Same here. I love Monster Hunter, 3 Ultimate was my first, and 4 Ultimate has hooked me even more than that one. I can't stop playing it.
Re: Review: Excave (3DS eShop)
@Dpishere I have both, and trust me, Heroes is FAR superior. Excave is decent, but Heroes has much more depth to it.
Re: Excave
@GloryQuestor Thanks for the review!! I've been waiting for one from NL, but after reading yours, I think I'll pick this one up. How's the gear? Is there a lot of loot to pick up?
Re: Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate has Shipped Over 3 Million Units Worldwide
You can get it for Wii U for around $20. I think that's a good deal. What I would do is skip 3U for 3DS and just get it for Wii U (since it has online) and get 4U for 3DS when you pick one up.
Re: Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate has Shipped Over 3 Million Units Worldwide
@polivar4 It is. It's not as good as 4U, but it's really good.
Re: Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate has Shipped Over 3 Million Units Worldwide
@polivar4 I agree, but I think I'd rather have a separate Wii U game built from the ground up for the system. MH3U was awesome, but you could tell it was just an HD version of a Wii game.
Re: Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate has Shipped Over 3 Million Units Worldwide
Sweet, this game is amazing. I hope they keep localizing them.
Re: Guide: How to Transfer from a 3DS to a New Nintendo 3DS / XL
So, if you have a micro SD card with an SD adapter in your old 3DS, do you still select Yes at the screen that asks?
Re: Excave Aims to Bring Dungeon-Crawling RPG Goodness to the 3DS eShop
@Quorthon I didn't realize that. Okay, I'll remain cautiously optimistic about this one, then. I really do love the genre.
Re: Excave Aims to Bring Dungeon-Crawling RPG Goodness to the 3DS eShop
Hmm. I like this genre, but Teyon isn't the best dev . . .
Re: Ubisoft Launches Yet Another Massive eShop Sale in North America
I don't give my money to Ubisoft. Period. They've said so much bad about Nintendo (we're all kiddie gamers) and PC (that we're all pirates) gamers that I'm done with them.
Re: Code Name S.T.E.A.M Demo Available Now on the 3DS eShop
@rjejr I'm too lazy to read all the comments to see if this was already answered, but yes, it does support the CPP
Re: Nintendo Download: 29th January (North America)
I have a physical copy of Prime Trilogy, so I'm going to pass on these, but seriously, if you don't have it, download it now. You'll NEVER find it this cheap EVER.
Re: Video: Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate's Palicoes Shown Off as Both Cute and Deadly
I cannot wait for this game. Seriously, I haven't been this excited for a game in a long time.
Re: Dungeons & Robots Targeting Wii U in 2015
I'm a big fan of Diablo, Torchlight, Path of Exile, etc so I'm keeping a close eye on this one. I hope it turns out to be good.
