Re: Nintendo Download: 28th January (Europe)

@Ventilator Finally Shadow Puppeteer has come to the Wii U. It's awsome that the Norwegian game developers supports the Wii U. Teslagrad apparently has done very well in sales too. Rightfully so I'll say I've resisted playing Shadow Puppeteer on PC in order for it to come on the Wii U, so looking forward to play it this weekend!

Mario RPG is a SNES game I never tried, so that will for sure go in my basket. Legend of Kay is too cheap not to buy, but what about Darksiders II? Is it something worth adding to a huge backlog of games? For the 3DS I guess I'll finally pick up Monster Hunter 4. Got Bit.Trip on Wii U and liked it, so should get it on 3DS too. Will be a nice christmas this year

Re: Kirby Stars Alongside Wario and Steamy Strategy in Nintendo of Europe Cyber Deals

I don't think one can compare Nintendo selling their games digitally and various retailers, as Nintendo never have the problem of getting rid of stock, which often is the reason for those ridiculous low prices you sometimes get at said retailers. I agree it would be nice if they could generally lower their prices on games that has been out for ages, but that doesn't seem to be their policy (I hope they have thought this through from their own business point of view), so from that these are great prices for, mostly, quality games. I also highly recommend Codename STEAM! But what about todays Wii U games, are they worth getting?

Re: Nintendo of Europe Launches Its Cyber Deals Weekend With Four Major eShop Discounts

Wonderful 101 is 29.99€ with this limited time 40% discount here in Europe, while the standard price for this game is 29.99$ in North America and they get it for 19.49$ this whole week! (The euro also has a higher value than the dollar)! Anyway, I guess it's about time I buy W101 and add it to my backlog. It also bugs me that Ubisoft crapped on Europe and only had their summer sale in North America this year. Is this region bias thing something that only happens on Nintendo consoles or is it common on the other consoles as well I wonder?

Re: Shovel Knight is Coming to Retail

All I can say is, if you don't have this game, BUY IT!! Doesn't make a lot of sence that they are going for a retail version, but it might make more people aware of the game (and it seems lots of people on here who already bought the game would like a retail version as well).

Seeing they did Battletoads for Xbone, maybe they'll do something like Ice Climbers for Nintendo :/

Re: Feature: Our Hopes and Dreams for Nintendo at E3 2015

icebear80

Apart from the big hopes of a new Metroid and a new Mario Sunshine (with the old one being released immediately after the Direct), I have small hopes like Zelda Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword coming on VC to ease the wait for Zelda U.

Another hope is something that shouldn't be too far off, a sequel or huge DLC expansion for Codename S.T.E.A.M.

And something new and unexpected like Splatoon

Re: Feature: Time to Vote For Your Game of the Year Awards 2014

Thought I was one of a few voting DKC TF, but from the comments it seems it stand a chance and that it will be close between Smash, Bayo2, DKC TF and MK8. A great year for the Wii U especially! And next year could be better!! (I see Captain toad is nominated now, but I hope it will be on the list for next year for us Europeans to decide as well)
