Nothing on 3DS this week, oh well, I'll go ahead and order Golden Abyss for the Vita then.

Surprised Duck Tales made it in, it didn't turn out as people were expecting. I didn't like Mighty Switch Force Hper Edition, because it had one stupid difficulty spike. I have however finished it on 3DS.

It would have to be a new adventure for me to play it again, as much as I loved the original.

@darthmawl

It's the upcoming library that's putting off people. They'd rather have an X1 or PS4 because there's more in the pipeline than on the Wii U.

@JaxonH

Yeah, I've seen it before but with Iwata's face instead of Luigi!

"Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience",

Well it bloody well better stop my Wii U from locking up when it feels like it. I've sent my console and gamepad to Nintendo and they don't know what's causing it to lock up.

I'm still satisfied with MK8, so I wont be downloading anything this week, and probably the week after! Some of those games have over £20 discounted from them. Just goes to show how overpriced they are and subsequently how poorly they're selling.

@SeVok

You could always try re-downloading everything in the case you lose your 3DS.

@dumedum Only in Japan, where home consoles are becoming less popular.

I'll be there 8PM UK time, just hope the waiting line to get into the tournament isn't too long. Hopefully I'll have had some time to get used to the game before I get into the tournament.

@Kaze_Memaryu

I generally avoid Amazon these days, they are too slow even with the Prime 1 day delivery they managed to screw things up, and they're expensive, just to rub salt in the wound.

What a load of b*llocks. I'll still play Story of Seasons, when it's EVENTUALLY released in Europe.

Ordered from The Nintendo UK online store, and it still says 'awaiting dispatch'. I guess I won't get it until the official launch date.

My heart always skips a beat when I tap the a button furiously after picking up the gold mushroom.

I hope Ninty see sense and don't pursue small channels like mine. I've only made $80 in 2 1/2 years, so it would seem rather stingy.

I still need to play Hobbit, been on my shelf for ages now. No doubt I'll play this too.

It's a no brainer for me, Mario Kart 8 all the way. I pre-ordered the Limited Edition from the Nintendo UK online store, and it's saying: `Dispatched on 30th May. This is worrying me, as most online retailers aim to dispatch before the launch day so it arrives on launch day. I may not be able to play until Saturday, nnnnnnnnoooooooooooooo!

I've had enough of Kickstarter. Most of the ones I've backed have gone wrong in some way, and been delayed and delayed and then broken into several pieces (or acts), to raise more money to finish games that even met their stretch goals. NOT IMPRESSED Kickstarter.

@Angelic_Lapras_King

I think the VC Super Mario Kart discount only applies to the download version of Mario Kart 8. That was the only thing that was tempting me to get the download of MK8, but the Blue Shell Limited Edition with Bullet Bill t-shirt and red shell keyring was more tempting in the end.

I just bought a GBA and Mario Kart: Super Circuit, completely missed out on handhelds until the 3DS.

MK8 needs dlc, like adding some of the single player features that were so great in Sonic Transformed, which MK8's single player badly needs.

@absuplendous

What are u talking about?!

Doesn't bother me, I've never been able to discern frame rate drops before, and I'm not about to start. Come May 30th, I'll be doing nothing else but playing the damn thing.

I bought the Japanese version on the Super Famicom, it's called Street Fighter Zero 2. Turns out I can't really master the 'Alpha' meter well enough. If you're looking for just one Street Fighter 2, I'd recommend, like the review, SF2 Turbo which was the one I had back in the day.

@CaviarMeths

It's repeats!

I'll enter this competition, but I doubt I'll win, unless there's something really interesting that happens while I'm playing.

@ClassicJetterz Cool, that's just what I want to hear. Some verification that the hype is justified.

I'm pleased with a solid 9/10, lets see what everyone else gives it. I would think it would be a 9/10 metacritic.

It almost never works on my iPhone 5. If they bring out an iOS version I would be happy if it were to work reliably. iOS version please, Nintendo?!

@Chris720

Personally, I would only really use it when on a trip for an extended time, which is about twice a year for me. I can understand your concern though.

I agree with this approach, and I can't wait to see what the unified platform has in store for the future of their video games business and how successful the new QoL business will be.

I'm all for this direction but a lot of what has been said has been spouted a lot before, and never materialised (it was all just talk).

Those things are lethal on narrow ledges.

I'll try the PC demo of Red Goddess before commiting to a Wii U Kickstarter version.

I'll be too busy with Kirby 3DS (retail copy) to play Scram Kitty this week, but maybe eventually I will.

You don't know what your buying, there's no labelling that would give me confidence in spending that kind of money (not that I have the money anyway).

It would make a nice little investment earner for a rich game fan, if it was indeed genuine.

@Yosher

I wish Nintendo would listen to fans more often and get their input into games, rather than the 'we know best' attitude.

Sega need to make another Sonic Colours style Sonic, as I wasn't as impressed with Lost Worlds. I've always been satisfied with the Olympics games, (I know, how could I?).

Wasn't expecting this, but I guess I'll get to like it. I'd still like to see arenas in dlc, there is dlc right?!

Hopefully I'll watch this, the Wii one was worth watching. Would join the races if I wasn't away from home just now.

Baby peach is like looking at some horror film with evil babies.

I would rather have a dedicated app, but this will be sufficient. I heard Ninty were working on a smartphone app that will allow users to pre-order (maybe pre-load) digital titles, and various other things like the Playstation one that's existed since day 1 of the PS4. I haven't heard anything about it for a while.

Nintendo were supposed to have an app in development that would allow pre-ordering of digital games, like the Playstation app that already exists. While I'm all for a Mario Kart app, I'd hope it wasn't the only app they are producing as I quite like using the PlayStation style one.

@memoryman3

You could have argued that with the Gamecube, and then the Wii came along.

@memoryman3

We can live in hope...

Already have KDL2 on 3DS VC, and physical copy of Triple Deluxe will be way cheaper than eShop.

I remember getting Trine 2 when the Wii U released, because it was on offer for the launch week. Low and behold 18 months later they've put it on sale again and again. Just lower the price permanently, Nintendo, and stop flip flopping about!

Yoshi's usually my favourite.

I recently went back to SMK, and found it very different from modern MK's. I haven't completed 100cc GP and unlocked all the tracks, as I felt I was getting no where. I'll need to have another serious attempt at it soon (hopefully before MK8).

The top players always make me feel inadequate, but at the same time encourage me to improve myself. With the imminent release of MK8 I'll certainly be doing that.

I got this instead of Mario Golf, 'cause I can't play golf games well and reckoned I'd get less frustrated with Hometown Story. I'm sure I'll get some enjoyment from it.

I didn't like the first GBC Harvest Moon, only HM I haven't liked so far, and not interested in Lufia.

I like what I hear about the online features. It mentioned ranking events in the Tournaments, but are the rankings separate from normal online vs. with the vr score?

EDIT I looked at the video again, and my question seems to have been answered.

This is looking like one of the best MK to date!

Wait... Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher are in the new films?! I knew their characters would be in the new films, but expected them to use different (younger) actors. Wow, I'm just that little bit more excited for the new trilogy now.
