I thought Nintendo makes it VERY clear you need to contact them to fix any problems on a device that has digital purchases on it. Jon made a mistake, it just happened to be a huge, tragic mistake. This doesn't change that Nintendo's whole handling of digital releases in general is so ass-backwards. The system comes with a year warranty for a reason.

The smoothing filter used in the video is really something else.

Then again there's really no excuse for the hideous aliasing present in every 3D 3DS game.

Are they kidding? Poor sales are never due to piracy. Poor sales are due to having a horrible product. Piracy is free advertising.

Want to know who would be against free advertising? People who are trying to sell you junk.

Oh my god this thing is so beautiful. I hope this is what Nintendo's next handheld looks like.

Seriously.

Why doesn't Nintendo of Europe just vary it across countries?

Wonder if he plans on releasing that romset.

This isn't a Nintendo problem, it's a PEGI/European problem.

Seems like Nintendo's doing well!

Can you please stop posting an article every time this guy says something?

How is this relevant? How are you improving the site by doing this?

Great vid, but it's strange that they omitted so many redesigns.

No. Laggy, smudge-n-pray capacitive screens are terrible for gaming. Go back to your mobile games.

Clock speeds have nothing to do with whether the system has fun games.

Dropped the bomb on Sticker Star. A completely dumbed down experience because they were in a forced-handheld mindset.

Luckily guys, the first two Paper Marios do still exist, so I encourage you to go play those again. Add in some self-restrictions to mix things up.

Wow, the collector's value on this thing will be insane....

Now I need to find a Canadian redirecting service.

Really beautiful. Worthless without GameCube ports, but still, amazing design...

This is EXCELLENT! Thank you for sharing this NL.

@VideoGameDJ Amazing work, seriously.

Can't believe they made these things illegal. Is freedom even a thing in Japan and the UK?

I feel so bad for anyone who shelled out more for deluxe. You're going to need a massive external hard drive no matter which model you get. You're just wasting your money buying partitioned "Nintendo" hard drives.

Why bother.

Just shows how lazy Nintendo is. I can't believe you can't use Wii mode on the Gamepad.

Hah.

But can you easily replace the joysticks?

Probably not!

It's worthless to have such an expensive controller.

What a comment he made considering the disgusting, uninspired NSMB titles Nintendo repeatedly shoves down our throats.

People who review games are horrible, and giving a creative medium like games arbitrary numerical scores is utterly ridiculous. There is no reason I should put their opinion higher than anyone else's.

No offense to anyone who writes for NL. I love this place.

>SNES portion of the pad looks awfully cramped, and we'd be shocked if it wasn't uncomfortable to use

It's the exact same layout and spacing as the official Wii U controller, which looks uncomfortable as well.

It's a shame.

Judging by all the screenshots underneath the article, this game can barely clear 480p.

Until I see proof that it can go higher, I'm assuming it's not HD at all.

@ThePillowGolem
>Probably just trying to artificially increase demand in NA for the holiday season.

Not probably. Reggie himself admitted to doing this.

@grumblebuzzz

You could not be more wrong. Animal Crossing games have always been incredibly tiny. Animal Crossing for the GameCube only fills up about 1% of the GameCube DVD (16 MB out of 1.4 GB). Wild world was 32 MB, and City Folk about 300 MB (on a 4.7 GB Wii disc).

I am super excited to see that Animal Crossing is 1GB. The amount of content must be insane.

Hahahaha, what a horrible company Sony is.

It just shows how low they've sunk: suing their own commercial image.

Oh my god this concept is awesome!

Pick this up Nintendo! Make the edgy grimdark Pokemon game everyone wants!

Sure that when shouldn't be an if? The WiiWare Pokemon mystery dungeons were never localized.

Perfect. So freaking excited for this. Native widescreen with original Pixel art and soundtrack is all I could have ever wanted.

WAIT@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Look at the video at 4:40. What is going on here, with the cartridge being transferred to the SD card?

The animal crossing one could've been better.

But that Mario one HNNGGNNRRHGNN

...Also very interesting move on including digital copies...

I really can't complain! This has gotten me a little more excited for what seemed to be a shameless cash-in.

Maybe they should offer their entire DS catalog (ALL regions) on the eShop, with support for cheats and multiple saves per game.

Oh wait, they won't, and never will. Even when money is completely out of the equation, piracy still offers a far superior experience. It doesn't make any sense why Nintendo can't take extra steps so people don't have a reason to pirate.

Enjoying Sex and the City or NASCAR has less to do with gender and more to do with intelligence.

Or should I say, lack of intelligence.

I don't know why these strange anecdotes need to be a part of our Nintendo-themed news.

>Region locks prevent players from purchasing software from other territories and using it on their consoles.

Doesn't say anything about downloading software from other territories!

Nintendo, I am disappointed.

@bezerker99

Someone at Nintendo hire this guy. Right now.

Of course this is incredibly disappointing. B&W is rendered in 3D anyway, so it's absolutely disgusting that they didn't at least make a 3DS port.

3D Land and the NSMB Series are by far the least creative games Nintendo has ever produced. They really need to mix things up, especially with Mario.

Thank GOD. The graphics in Cave Story 3D where so sickening.

What he's saying makes a lot of sense. A drop of even $50 would help make this device tremendously more appealing.

Is this a joke? The production value consists of a pirated copy of RPG Maker.

Gotta say I'm pretty excited. I hope the controllers are comfortable and the games aren't region locked.

I feel like I might be disappointed on both of those accounts.

Wow this looks awesome! I've always loved G&W games, and it's so cool to see games that restrict themselves to earlier technical specs.

...Having the patience to play G&W games today is an entirely different story, though...

Considering how each game in the series gets successively worse, I have low hopes for SSB4. A portable Smash is interesting, but is completely counter to the couch-gaming nature of the series.

I just hope they make it like Melee or better yet 64.

@Mr_Gurgles No, it hasn't sold, that's how much the idiot who did this is demanding.

He's basically a fool.

The perspective correctly turns the cameras into pika-man-boobs.

Quite unappealing.

Nintendo Power may be dead, but Nintendo Life must live on.

Not buying it unless it retails for $150 and comes with a copy of Smash Bros. U.

Otherwise, you know, I just really don't care.

People actually support Other M?

I know some people have bad taste but wow.
