@datamonkey: In that case, their servers have been overloaded for 4 hours already, which seems possible, given the fact that almost every 3DS owner tries to connect with it.
I think this has everything to do with an upcoming promotion where new Wii U buyers will get a free game from the eShop. Since some of those Wii U buyers will have the basic model, games with these file sizes will be among them...
Very important detail: "Product registrations for the participation in this promotion cannot be combined with other promotions." So you can't combine this one with the "So many games" promotion (buy 3, get 1 for free).
What the... ? So it's basically this: If a friend of you has Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate on 3DS, you will be able to get the game for free when you buy a 3DS. That's still nice, but compared with the "free game promotion" from last year, this is actually an inferior version of that.
When my game is delivered, I will play in "half casual / half classic"-mode, meaning: resetting whenever somebody dies, but with the ability to save and restart anywhere. And that means I'll have to chose "casual".
@Five-seveN That's probably what has been one of the major faults when the Wii U launched, or... should I say 3DS? It is very hard for a (game)company to start an account-based system when the new generation has launched. Which means... were probably stuck with this stupid system for the next 5 years. Thank you, Nintendo...
Oh no! If I hadn't read this article I would probably never pay attention to the feet. Now I'm afraid that I'll keep looking at everyone's feet in FE:A when it is released here
@Garo: True, but what I meant was that the bugs were in a different region (PAL/NTSC-U instead of NTSC-J in the case of VLR, and NTSC-U instead of PAL in the case of Shin Megami Tensei)
First VLR, now this... What the hell is going on when games are being converted from NTSC to PAL...?
It also surprises me that you're unable to complete the game because of this bug. That must mean that the PAL version didn't have a single beta-playthrough....
Oh my god, It's completely in 3D and people are wondering why it's being called Pokémon X and Y ... Have you guys ever heard anything about dimensions or the X-axis and Y-axis?
I'll buy it right away, and even a 3rd time if I have to. These games are being worth more than Wii Sports, Wii Fit, Wii Fit Plus and Wii Music combined. Buying these games 3 times is much cheaper and I'll enjoy it, instead of seeing I have overweight again .
The only thing I would hope for is that existing save games can be transferred, but I doubt it (Nintendo couldn't even do it with Metroid Prime Trilogy).
"Thanks to invmat for sending this in." You're welcome
About the checkpoints: If I get a "game over", can I still claim my high score, or work the checkpoints the same as in Runner (so that you instantly begin again)?
I still prefer to put a video of a fireplace on my SD card and watch it via the Photo Channel. Only difference is that it has no sound. And it's just €5,- cheaper....
FC-system has already been confirmed, but: 1. Will it be system-wide or are there FC's for every game? 2. Will 3DS game's saves be stored on the game card or on the 3DS? 3. Will 3DSShop be available at launch or later? 4. What's the 3DSWare size limit? 5. Can games be patched/updated? 6. Has the Black 3DS the same problem with fingerprints as the DSLite?
It contains more information than just the way you play the game. It's some kind of BIT.TRIP BEAT sequel with checkpoints (like VOID). There are 3 "chapters" (probably tracks...). FLUX is not the end for BIT.TRIP. FLUX is going to be released late January / begin February (in NA, so EU will probably get it later).
Wii: Donkey Kong Country Returns 2000 Wii Points (And maybe I get more today...) I'm happy with both DKCR was fun (played multiplayer with little brother). Im probably saving the Wii Points for BIT.TRIP FLUX and Sonic 4 E2. And maybe I can't wait and download the only BIT.TRIP game I don't have yet: Core.
EA is a bit jealous because their Wii-games aren't as succesful as Nintendo's. And now they're blaming Nintendo. EA just needs to make better games and have better advertising.

@Bliquid Correct, the only way you could have made a NNID yesterday was on a Wii U.

Re: Tomodachi Collection: New Life Features Same-Sex Marriage For Men, But Not Women
@Harrison_Peter No, it's because of the in-game children of the married couples.
Re: Tomodachi Collection: New Life Features Same-Sex Marriage For Men, But Not Women
@Bulby I completely agree.
I was already disappointed it wasn't possible to let persons of the same gender marry in FE:A, but I guess that was done because of the children.
EDIT: To avoid any misunderstanding, I was reffering to the in-game children,

Re: Video: Nintendo Europe Highlights Key eShop Titles From The Past Two Months
How many have you downloaded?
None.
Because of Nintendo's very user-unfriendly DRM system, and the fact that Nintendo eShop cards are not easily available in my area.

That's it... for now.
