Having both PS3 and Wii U, I'm going to pick up the retail Wii U version when it hits our local store later in September. Cause the multiplayer with the Wii U GamePad is the coolest way to enjoy Legends obviously.
I'm trying to convince myself just to be happy with the fact that the game is coming to the west... but I can't! I want my box and a game card inside! xD
This stupid save glitch happened to me after 16 hours into the game! I was in such a rage! Playing from the beginning now, making a save only at the end of each story branch. And yes, 999 is better so far.
@Peach64 one of my friends is still on the fence with the Wii U, but he's going to buy it with the release of the WW HD, because it's his one of the favorite games of all time. He'll be very happy if the bundle like this will be available.
Wii U bundles are great, but only if they will contain a disc-based copy of the game. There's a great chance that we'll see "console + pre-installed game" stuff all over again, like with those fancy 3DS XL's.
@AyeHaley basically it's a closed circle problem - nintendo games and systems are not very popular because they are quite expensive, there's no advertisement, and you can't even find them at the retail stores. And the retailers don't want to sell them, because they are not popular. Nintendo of Russia is trying to improve the situation but it goes really slow. It's still cheaper and more convenient to import, especially for the regions that are far away from the capital (you know, huge territory).
And also yes, lots of gamers often complain that Nintendo games look like kids' stuff, and "they can only make Mario and I already got tired of him when I had a NES".
Yes, I've bought a Wii U to be able to play Nintendo first and second party games, and yes, I don't want to play multiplatform titles on it, cause I'd rather have the info about my progress tied to PSN. But that doesn't mean that Nintendo is doomed, cause that's pretty much the same situation that was with the Wii before. I don't see any problems with players having two consoles - the Wii U and the PS4 (seriously, who wants an XBOX One?).
I'd like to have a lime green or a light blue one. Metallic Red - also good as Mario reference though.
Bought an Ice White for my fiancee several months ago - it's a stunning beauty.
@Einherjar another great thing about games being published in eShop is that you can get them at the launch day. That is even more important for the countries where nintendo retail distribution is in a pitiful state (like it is here in Russia). Also just wanted to add that when I contacted nintendo support after I've lost my 3DS they asked me about the serial number of the console (which I've found on a package that left) and told me that they've blocked the internet access for that console. So yes, that's possible.
Not getting pricey 3DS download titles from eShop anymore as well. A year ago my household was robbed and I've lost my console with all the ambassador and other eShop games. And that sucks! Only cartriges for me until they do something about it.

Re: Video: Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games Slips Into View
@AyeHaley yep, but that's not very cool actually - it's quite hard to be a nintendo fan here.
Re: Video: Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games Slips Into View
I'll definitely pick this one up as a commemoration to the Olympics being held in my country.

Re: Standalone Pink Nintendo 3DS XL System Coming To UK in May
That pink is more 'acid' than standard 3DS pink though And yeah, other European territories are getting it in the near future as well.
