dang, I just recently ordered a Mega Man from eBay for $21 Canadian (including shipping) from Japan. Oh well, at lest this means I might be able to get my hands on a Shulk after all (even though I still want a captain falcon)
I'm hopeful that they will rerelease some of the rarer ones but considering the conducting stories and multiple apologies I'm not going to hold my breath either.
I hope the club Nintendo replacement will regularly offer virtual console titles because there was several I would have passed on otherwise. I would like to see sales or promos like cross buy or BOGO sales as well
I'm enjoying the dlc so far. As far as the update I like the 200cc mode (even though I suck at it) but a disappointed that some of the racing suits require rare amiibos.
I'll probably try the amiibo bits since I have some amiibos, and I'll give the puzzles and dragons a try as well since that game intrigues me but I don't know enough to buy it without trying it first
I have no objection to Nintendo remakes since they generally go 2 generations back and not just remake recent last-gen stuff. Having said that I hope they don't go overkill on it if they are planning to.
My wish list for GameCube remakes include eternal darkness, Geist, Zelda four swords adventures, and Mario sunshine.
There really needs to be a way to get these hard to find amiibos without paying the unreasonable prices being asked for on eBay or Amazon. It would be nice if they could be purchased directly from Nintendo, but the Canada store doesn't have them listed
The only platnum one I don't have is mario party, but it doesn't really appeal to me. Might get dk tropical freeze and trade in my copy if my girlfriend doesn't want mk7
I lost interest after the first couple of games. While they seemed to play well enough the content was just too light to keep my attention. Hopefully he can find the audience that he's looking for on other consoles.
Looks interesting but on the fence about picking this up. I'm working on catching up on my backlog of games to finish and I'm not sure I could gove this game the attention it deserves...
I have never been interested in rockband, but it's a shame there isn't a wii u port. I kind of wish that Nintendo would step up and throw money to help get it to the Wii U, if nothing else to ensure its place as a viable in living room multiplayer console...
I was disappointed that I couldn't stick with the smaller model. After playing on the New XL for the past week I have to admit I like the larger screen, so giving up some portability was a worthwhile tradeoff
While I didn't mind blok drop U I found his games seem better suited for tablets or smart phones so I wouldn't be surprised if he focused on that market
I picked it up, not sure how much I will use it but who am I to turn down a free game. In a side note I expect club Nintendo to be overwhelmed today so I probably won't be able to do any post play surveys today....
I will probably hold off on this, at least initially. I don't make it too far in the wii version and I've found that I get more mileage out of console versions of an RPG then I do from a handheld. That might change though with the XL screen size.

Also grabbing the South Park zen pinball table for the same reason.

Re: Talking Point: New Nintendo 3DS, Operation Faceplate NA and the Bigger Picture

I noticed some sonic at my local ebgames today. I'm tempted to pick one up tomorrow when I take my 3DS in to get the trade in credit.
Re: Nintendo of America's Damon Baker Explains the New Nintendo 3DS XL Decision and Desire to Engage With the Community
I would have preferred the standard version for the portability, but I'm loving the larger screen. So it's a trade off I can live with.
