Really enjoyed reading through that - some great ideas in there. With a lineup like that in 2014 I think we'd see the Wii U / 3DS comfortably ahead of all rivals (well, ok, the 3DS is anyway)
I bought Steel Diver on Friday, and its excellent fun. I like how the 3D makes it looks like a miniature fish tank. It ranks alongside Air Traffic Chaos as an under-appreciated left-field gem.
The question is: is Four Swords worth it without the requisite 4 x GBA's / link cables / (willing) friends?
First one I got was Zelda II. I had never heard of it before, but the cartridge was gold. Gold! Admittedly I wasn't the most informed videogame purchaser, back in the days before t'interweb & Nintendolife, etc. (though Super Play was awesome)
"A spokesperson for Nintendo told Eurogamer that a UK release is planned too, but not until after a cartoon series based on the franchise launches" (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2010-11-23-inazuma-eleven-heading-to-europe)
Maybe the gamesbasement stock went out early by mistake. I've seen on other forums that people who ordered at the weekend still haven't had theirs dispatched yet.
Is it wrong that I feel compelled to buy these, along with Super Mario Collection, even though I don't even own a Japanese Wii? (and do 7-11 ship overseas?)
@drdark: I got it from play-asia, but it looks like they're sold out now It never got an EU release, but you should still be able to get it from America - Amazon.com seem to have it quite cheap, if you can get it shipped over here. Its a great game!
Maybe the market is just saturated? They can't go on selling buhgillions of Wiis indefinitely.
Given that it takes years to develop most of their core franchise games, I'd say its unlikely recent sales figures will have that much of an impact on their release schedule. Lets just hope they were already planning to release some new stuff anyway
The most likely knee-jerk reaction to me would be some new console colours or something.
D'oh! So all that money I spent importing the Bit Generations games, and if I'd waited I could have just downloaded them on WiiWare.
Oh well. The boxes were nice. Plus "Bit Generations" sounds way cooler than "Art Style".
I might just have to buy DigiDrive again if / when it comes out though, considering it is the Best Puzzle Game Ever [..and no, I don't work for whoever it is that made the game..]
Art Style: ORBIENT sounds suspiciously similar to Orbital, one of the Bit Generations games on GBA. Lets hope that means the whole series is coming to WiiWare.. Digidrive was ace.

Re: 3DS XL Coloured Charging Cradles Arrive on Club Nintendo in Europe
Tempting, but then I noticed the 'Princess Peach Relaxation Set' ...SOLD!
Re: Steel Diver Sinks Without Trace at UK Retail
I bought Steel Diver on Friday, and its excellent fun. I like how the 3D makes it looks like a miniature fish tank. It ranks alongside Air Traffic Chaos as an under-appreciated left-field gem.
Re: Nintendo Refutes Claims of Widespread 3DS Headaches
Based on the profile of the average Sun reader, I'd say chances are its cigarettes and White Lightning making their children nauseous, not the 3DS.
Re: Steel Diver Depth Charges Towards Europe on 6th May
I may have to scope this one out once it surfaces, if you know what I marine...
(sorry)

Yeah but still..
Re: Nintendo: Inazuma Eleven Not Officially Launched in the UK
I'd just like to point you all to this comment, made by yours truly.
I'll get my coat.
Re: Proof that Inazuma Eleven Really Is Out in the UK
According to Eurogamer:

Re: Tell Nintendo Europe a Story and Win a Trip to Kyoto
50 points x 140 poor quality videos = 1 club nintendo SNES controller...
Mwoahaha

Re: Japan Receives Red DSi XL in Honour of Mario's 25th Anniversary
Whereas here, we get an advert featuring Ant and/or Dec.
Nintend'oh!

I'm more of an Air Traffic Chaos man myself.

Re: What Neo Geo games do you want to see on the Virtual Console?
Soccer Brawl
(never played it, but it looked cool when Big Boy Barry et al used to play it on Games World)
Re: EU VC Update: Mario Golf and Wonder Boy in Monster Land
I'd trade the next 100 releases for Unirally. Or Top Gear Rally.
Rally games - awesome.
Sorry. Its a decent week this week. I guess I should praise Nintendo when they do well, rather than complain when they fail to meet expectations.
