And so it begins ...

@MarcelRguez there is no point of no return in Shantae HGH. You can whistle out of a stage almost at anytime. Plus, after you beat the game, can continue your current save file to get anything you missed.

@JaxonH same, just using sleep mode while docked pretty much gives you a power button on your controller for extra laziness

I'm not upset about the lack of VC at launch. I am, however, ticked at the lack of VC info so close to launch. If I have to rebuy VC games for a 4th time i'm done. I seriously hope to be proven wrong and someone has finally fixed this issue. All of my VC purchases ( WiiU & 3DS) are linked to My Nintendo account, they're right there on my profile. This 'My Nintendo' account was suppose to fix the issues of VC purchases to avoid this issue on their next system. Well, the next system is here, and they have yet to reveal any information on this. And you would think the good news of this would be inviting to those on the fence who got burnt with the WiiU. It's obvious they want to avoid the bad PR before the system launches, because Nintendo knows they can nickel and dime their loyal customers once they've reeled them in. Unfortunately I have a week to decide if I'm gonna keep, cancel, or sell my pre-order.

@2CUTE4YOU Nope. but you can expect them to do the same with Wiiu/3DS online gameplay, nip it to force people to move onto the Switch prob a year or so after its release ... just like they did with the Wii when MK8 released.

And, LOL at the phone app to voice chat. Discord/Skype has pretty much replaced any videogame system's voice chat service.

If it hasn't been mentioned ... Wal-Mart in NA will be taking "in-store" preorders starting at noon (8amPT/12pmET) today.

The real question is, is the game tied to your shop user account ... or ONLY to the phone you downloaded it on

Amazon charging $60 extra for NintendoLand in that bundle. LMAO

I'm just expecting Nintendo to flash one last middle finger to all WiiU owners, when NX is delayed and they delay Zelda BOTW WiiU to cater to the NX version release. Wasn't BOTW suppose to come out BEFORE Star Fox's fall 2015 release ... anyone else remember that one?

SNES would be my first choice. Biggest issue I see with an N64 mini is the fact we would miss out on all the amazing RareWare games

Damned if you do, damned if you don't. Ubisoft was pretty much all WiiU had after the first release of 3rd party launch titles. It was a rough time being a WiiU console gamer this gen, and blame was thrown everywhere but at Nintendo,. Now, months/years later after reflecting, I applaud Ubisoft for what they tried to do. Nintendo, and Nintendo only, is all there is to blame for lack of 3rd party support. Only time will tell if they learned their lesson after all the mistakes they made with WiiU.

The NX will be my first ever Nintendo console that I will not pre-order and purchase Day 1. I need to see and believe what they have to offer next round.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE 100% AGREEE! Toki Tori 2 is my favorite WiiU game, and I have 30+ games, all the major releases. Nothing comes close to the brilliance of the game this generation, and the sheer enjoyment of solving it 100% with no hand holding whatsoever.

I stopped logging and and uninstalled after a week. Like many have said, it was just the new hype nintendo thing to do at the time, and got very boring soon after. Plus, almost 1/2 gig needed on my internal phone memory storage was not worth it.

And, honestly, the whole rewards program thing is jacked up I don't even care about that part of the My Nintendo account. It better just let me redownload my VC game son the next Nintendo console, if and when I decide to upgrade.

Reading through the comments I can see many had the same initial reaction I had .... It's kind of hard to replace something thats been abandoned long ago.

We'll never see the zelda DS games here, in NA, as expected.

@sleepinglion on your My Nintendo homepage, top left is a 'Menu' dropdown tab, from there you'll see "Redeem a Point Code"

I'm liking the charm to it. But makes no sense to not allow players to add through Miiverse and other NINTENDO related sources. It pretty much boils down to the fact this was not an app to bring Nintendo players together, it was to bring non Nintendo players to Nintendo recognition.
I, and several friends form my Nintendo consoles' friend list, all had to create Twitter accounts just for the purpose of using Miitomo. Didn't make much sense.

This article was amazing! And glad you didn't pull any punches. The way Nintendo has handled this shows they have no clue nor care about their loyal consumers.

Noone is going to buy a N3DS to play, or re-purchase, SNES VC games. But they "might" have had incentive to upgrade their 3DS if they were able to get those games for free, being that their WiiU & 3DS NNID's were tied to one another. (and they had them purchased on their WiiU console.) But, as always, Nintendo knows we will just re-buy the games so why should they even attempt to bother when they know they can get away with it.

"VC Goodness" ... ya, when you don't actually list a VC game title I already know not to expect anything worthwhile.

Belly Dancing monkey transformations in HD? les do this!

They could POSSIBLY add physical game purchases to rewards for the NX games. But currently with Wii U and 3DS it'd be impossible to recall ALL games currently on shelves and add a redeemable code insert into the packaging. But, since this is set in motion before the release of NX and games it's quiet possible they could consider it by that time, considering there are going to be many to complain about this for now.

$20 asking price is ridiculous. Yes, its a solid game from start to finish that could last 10-15 hours on a players 1st run. Considering the HD port on PS3/4 goes for the same price or sometimes cheaper, this is just another capcom quick cash grab at WiiU owners.

It's just the Wii version of the game. Nothing more. Follow @rjejr advice and buy it physical for a fraction of the price. With that said, though, still promising to see NoA get something on the eShop.

@stocko "And they spent Amiibo wrong 'Ambiio' haha"

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone

And again ... kind of hard to watch videos on this site when there are 2 video ads playing at the same time.

2 video ads playing simultaneously on this page. Really?

I'm one of the first to complain about zero mission in NA, I'll admit and dont care. I didn't care for late SMB3, MK snes, mario RPG, etc because most of those are available on the vWii channel VC, but zero mission was only available as a GBA cart in NA, or through crap ROMs. And that fact we waited 2+ years after japan got it, and 10 months after NoE got it.

I'll finally get to choose an option besides "Nothing for me this week" in tomorrow's poll.

Glad VR is getting back into the mainstrean ... I need another Lawnmower Man sequel

Really appreciate how you guys here at NL kept readers up to date on the daily nintendo fixes of AGDQ. Usually in the past I think you just announced it once when it started.

Was a great week, although the final runs were met with some disapointments. The AlttP race was interupted when 1 player stomped his feet on the ground during a spastic laugher that caused the other players SNES to power off lol. Then the Super Metroid run, which is a grueling route they chose to do for the event ... had to be played from a pre-saved game file because the runner died 3 times during the beginning portions.

I mightve been interested in the lightgun games during the back to the future day buzz ... which NoE was smart enough to capitalize on. NoA just has no clue what theyre doing at this point.

Guess i'll be ready to yet again, select the "Nothing for me this week..." option in tomorrow's NA eShop update poll

Looking forward to all that extra stability!

Dont get me wrong, I am a mario fan ... but when will nintendo understand we like other games besides mario

Guess if I can't play it, I'll just watch a speedrun of Zero Mission

In all seriousness Iove the AGDQ and SGDQ events. Looking forward to watching as much as I can in between work and mh4u grinding.

I just bought CubeLife last week. Never played this type of game, and enjoying it but its taking awhile for me to catch on lol. No need for me to enter, good luck to those that do enter. Very nice of cypronia to run this promotion for NL readers. Even if some of you don't end up winning, the game is only $7 on the eShop

@NaturalGus for real. It's kind of like reporting news on a shooter that you can now aim your weapon.

Guess the next article would read something like ... "Why everyone but NA is still playing Zero Mission"

Can't explain it, but Super Metroid is my favorite game of all time, yet Zero Mission is my favorite 2D metroid game.

Fusion was fun, but I hated that once you saved your game after a certain 'point of no return' (which wasn't clearly specified) you couldn't go back and get 100% items. You have to know before hand on your next playthrough to not progress past a certain event if you want to get 100%.

what a F'ing joke

Never played any of these type of games, but read the cube Life review and was impressed with the developer and their involvement with the community here taking in feedback; so I got Cube Life. Have no idea what I'm doing, but feel I made a better purchase rather than the lazy WiiU Minecraft port.

@sketchturner looks like another thursday of disappointment for us. Every thurs since NoE's march release

Best $40 purchase in my 30+ years of gaming.

Every Thursday since March I log on each morning hoping for that surprise announcement for Zero Mission on the VC. And every week the struggle gets harder and harder. Without Capcom this week we would've gotten jack

Was hoping Best Buy would've had more eShop card sales this year as they have had the previous couple of years.

Europe will get this next week ... meanwhile NA will have to wait til 2022

If it doesn't have a launch sale like the first Wii re-releases then most likely not interested, personally.

It was Luck that MH sold so well? Who is this guy? LMAO

MH has pretty much taken up all my gaming time. I still buy games, play them for a little bit, but with monster hunter i can spend hours and hours everyday with no regrets. Once you get into it and learn just how deep and addicitve it is, there's really nothing like it out there.

Same sales weve seen before. Might get never alone

Guess we'll see these some time next August or September in NA ... if we ever see them at all. Painful sometimes being a Nintendo customer in NA.

@k8sMum exactly. Of course there are region based releases of games. But of all things, especially Zelda, you kind of want to keep EVERYONE in the loop.

Kinda messed up the fact the most eye catching thing for me is the pre-owned Nintendo DS Lite ... might have to pick that up and get Zero Mission off eBay so I can actually play the game, here in the states. I remember DS played GBA games, gotta check and make sure the DS Lite does as well.

More reviews of VC games we'll never see in NA

It can't be a social network app. Nintendo being in control of something social network related with their knack for censoring and monitoring will never have a chance against other social media sites/apps. Miiverse only works because it's got no competition on WiiU / 3DS.

Capcom being those that'll oversell their franchises with remakes and re-releases .. if there's a dollar to be made it'll be in NA in no time. This is Capcom, not Nintendo. Nintendo doesn't seem to want our money in NA, but Capcom has no problem with it
