So the noa discounts for ace attorney trilogy is 40% instead of EU's 50% and dual destiny is €10 vs $15. Seriously we're getting shafted on pricing as well?
can you guys mention the 6 month timespan for gold coins? I feel it's pretty important seeing as how 6 months is ridiculous when club nintendo points lasted 2 years.
@Peace-Boy hoping that the NX will be strong enough to emulate the arcade version perfectly or better. I REALLY hope the rumors about the NX's lack of power to be untrue.
@Spectra_Twilight ... the ds, gba, n64, snes, nes, and wii all have different hardware from the wii u. The reason why it can play these games is because they've been developed to be emlated on the wii u. A 3ds virtual console doesn't exist is because they want to keep their most current handheld console relevant and it would probably be very annoying to pull that emulation off.
don't ever plan to pay for this game, or any other game with micro transactions. Haven't to this day and hoping i never will. Hell, the only dlc i've ever paid for was the mario kart 8 dlc and buying that seemed a bit crazy for me.
@marnelljm well, the butoden series was a decent series back in the snes days. At least that's what I've heard about on YouTube. If anything, the handheld fighters, while not as superb as the budokai series, was always runner up as best dba fighters
I'm happy with the NA pre order special edition... if it weren't restricted to 5 people/state. seriously, we didn't even HAVE a pre order bonus for the regular game.
@Quorthon I'm all with you on that one! I've ONLY been complaining about the e-shop on all my surveys and I want to start some kind of petition to get their asses on it. The only problem is that I don't know how to approach petitions and I'm pretty sure nintendo won't listen. Another thing I'll never forget is how GBA games AREN'T on the 3ds e-shop. I have the ambassador games but I've been itching to play gba games on my 3ds, not my tv screen (that could easily be accomplished with emulators) It's like they designated one person to be in charge of all the e-shop crap.
@Takerkaneanite6 hahaha, at least you know that wii u titles have been getting released post august. That means you got almost a whole year to panhandle or beg or whatever it is you do to save up money.
@Iggly they've been streamlining IV grinding ever since daimond/pearl. If they were to make it so that you can change the iv's, then that will make breeding/grinding in the wild almost pointless.
@KillerGBH you know what'd be awesome? if they put these up for club nintendo for an extremely low amount of coins/stars (similar to those screen savers they once had for the NOA Club Nintendo)
Lol, I can't believe how peeved some people on this forum are. You'll get the game soon enough. Im jealous, for sure, but im not treating this like it's a sin.
you guys, noa isn't doing squat for the us because they know we'll buy it. Right after japan, we're the second most loyal nintendo region. the reason why we won't ever get any good preorders/exclusive goodies is purely because they know we'll bite with or without these things.
@Mk_II you'd be surprised at the amount of people who will. We're talking about probably squeezing an extra couple of thousand 3ds'. That combined with the software sales that follow as well. I don't think that would be their only agenda for region locks but that is probably one of the main ones
@Justin83593 what? Companies are out to get my money? You're kidding! Besides, im okay with the idea of the new 3ds due to the fact that it is a beefier system. You don't have to buy it because they're not going to stop making games for the much bigger 3ds demographic. Just going to be select games made for the new 3ds that weren't possible to play on the old ones
@sinalefa The sequels are much better (look up a few top battle network games on google) but waiting for them... I'd say you're going to have to wait a long time. If you got a backlog of games, then I'd definitely wait for 2,3,5, or 6
I'd go for the highest retail priced game, but I'm not risking any more space on the incredibly limited stock space in my wii u (I never planned to buy any external hard drives because they cost a pretty penny) with all that said, I guess i'm forced to go with DKCR cuz my 16g SD....
The only good thing I can say about this reward is at least there is something I kind of wanted but didn't get yet...
what is this pairing the game with the movie? The movie was, undoubtedly, the best spiderman movie to date! This game, however, was rushed because stupid activision forced a deadline that beenox had no choice but to agree to.
@TopLaytonsHat ideally it is better but all the other nintendo regions don't do anything in terms of wifi events. surprisingly, japan gets more wifi downloads on top of these movie events.
@ikki5 wait, really?? I'm genuinely surprised to read this cuz I haven't seen anything other than celebi and torchic being distributed. What else did they hand out?
@losingtheplot ... absolutely everyone over the age of 12 gets the implied humor in these commercials... some may not find it funny (I find it absolutely hilarious)
