I'm just glad that this indicates that Metroid isn't dead, as I have long feared.

@DerpSandwich In Japan the portable MH games sell much better, because so many people own portables and gather together to play them.

Dang it all, I just got off a Batman kick. I guess I'm going to have to re-watch the trilogy now . . . again . . .

. . . I'm embarrassed that I would actually use these for MH3U

@sjmartin This. SO MUCH THIS!

@Caryslan I really hope you're right.

With Monster Hunter 4 coming in a couple of weeks, this is totally possible. BRING IT TO THE WEST CAPCOM!! Yes, I'm on a crusade. On this website. That Capcom localization people will probably never visit.

If this game doesn't come to the West, I will never forgive Capcom. . .

@DePapier I already have it Kind of a jerky move on GameStop's part . . . Pay the developers, guys!!

This was a great read! WayForward is up there with Retro Studios as far as quality, in my opinion. They have such talent, especially with side-scrollers

@SyntheticPerson I just went into a drooling comatose state thinking about a new Metroid game on 3DS . . .

I will admit to using an R4 - for about 4 months. Then I realized I was STEALING GAMES just as much as if I'd walked into a store and stuck one under my coat. I'm really glad Nintendo is taking steps to combat this, it hurts the entire industry. As a side note, I now own every game I downloaded when I used an R4, since I felt so bad about it.

Mr. Iwata is a very long-term thinker. He doesn't really focus on right now, which is something of a weakness, but he definitely has a broad vision for the future of Nintendo. I think more people need to be like this.

I got DK last year, and I have Star Fox 64 3D (Which to me is the superior version), so no thanks.

I might, just to have it. Even though I've beaten Mutant Mudds like 50 times.

I really don't see the point of an Ouya. And from what I hear, the build quality isn't great.

FINALLY picked up Rayman Origins. That'll be my weekend, thank you.

@2Sang And that is why I love them.

I really, REALLY dislike Angry Birds. It barely feels like a game. I guess if you're okay with making low-quality, addictive games instead of full gaming experiences you'd be bitter against anybody who puts time, talent and effort into their games.

Is it just me or are the rocket barrel levels easier in the 3DS version? It seems like the button presses don't make the rocket goes as high, or something. It just seems easier to control.

Wow, slim 3DS pickings this week.

@shuis Well said, sir. Well said.

@SirQuincealot Yes, it does, but only if you re-buy them and download them. There's no physical UMD slot on the Vita and there's no system transfer.

Um, no. Nintendo hardware is generally more affordable than the other two, and I think the industry would seriously flounder without their hardware. Who else dares step outside the box in terms of hardware?

@TysonOfTime Oh, I forgot about that . . . I really hope they bring the So Many Games promo to NA, though.

Why is Europe getting all these free games promotions? Bring some of that to the US, NOA!

I am SO GLAD I purchased a 3DS. My only regret is I didn't get it before the price cut, as playing GBA games on it would turn it into gaming Nirvana for me. I've been gaming since the NES days, and my 3DS has the largest library I've ever owned (It helps that I don't have to ask my parents to buy me games anymore). I will own and use this thing well past its life cycle, I'll probably play it until I break it, like my poor beaten up GBC.

Bullet dodged! I loved this game and will be picking up more Fire Emblem in the future!

I'm not a big fan of EA games, they're just so sub-par lately in the gameplay area. I don't see this as a huge loss. You typically buy Nintendo systems because you want to play Nintendo games.

I wish I had a WiiU. I'd be on Miiverse trying to help each and every one of these people, whether they appear stupid or not. Super Metroid is my favorite game of all time and I want everyone to appreciate it as much as I do.

Just downloaded this, and holy crap is it hard!!! But I'm loving the challenge, I'm really tired of paying for a game and breezing through it.

Nothing I want to drop coins on this month. Super Mario RPG is tempting, but I'll spend the 8 bucks instead of 200 coins.

@DRL Hey, if I knew who you were and we lived near each other, I'd totally let you borrow mine.

I might bust out Metroid Prime Trilogy. Been missing that game lately.

In regards to jayblue, people, stop feeding the troll.

@MrGawain
LOL!! Awesome reply!! I actually grew up with an NES, and that thing still looks weird to me.

WHAT IS UP WITH THAT CONTROLLER?!?! I can't imagine playing anything on that!!!

Now if you can release an update for the 3DS version that allows online play, that would be awesome!!

@Astro Holy crap, that would be the best thing ever! I'll buy it anyway, but even if they only add the first DKC as an unlockable I'll be thrilled.

Still on Monster Hunter, don't see that changing any time soon. My poor 3DS has never had to be charged this much in its life, between MH3 and Fire Emblem.

@MultiMariosonic This. SO MUCH THIS!!

Just finished Fire Emblem, so I picked up Monster Hunter on the 3DS. I'll be playing that this weekend. And every weekend for the foreseeable future.

This is the first game I've pre-ordered in about 10 years. I'm very excited to pick it up tomorrow!!

I'll definitely be getting it, even though I have the Wii version. My kids always hog the TV, so with this version I'll be able to actually play it.

Looked long and hard, finally found a physical copy after 2 weeks. Already put 60+ hours into it. It's the BEST game on the 3DS. The amount of polish is amazing.

Worst. Idea. Ever. There ALWAYS is a demand for a Single Player experience. And always will be.

Got Fractured Soul finally. I can't resist a deal. Loving it, we need more difficult games these days.

Just. Shut. Up. Seriously, Nintendo's not going anywhere.

I'll see if I can pull myself away from Fire Emblem for a bit and play, too.

No shaking a Wii remote to roll? Yes, I think I will be picking this up. Remake or not DKCR is a fantastic game that never gets old
