Hope this comes to pal regions soon, an old favorite that I would love to play through again.

Finished it earlier and immediately started it again at a higher difficulty, it really is that good!

Picked up a cart copy couple of months ago, there's an option to change the entire text to english so surprised it didnt get a physical release tbh.

Was hoping for a luigi's mansion one " loading="lazy">

i can only hope after meme run getting announced they are taking some poopoodoodoocacappopledoople shovelware off the store

@AlexSora89 : Got more there that it did here! and not sure about your bias comment seeing as they just gave smash bros a 9. The game is great but does get stale after a while, 8.5 sounds about right imho.

I use an ouya for this very purpose, works with basially any bluetooth controller, greater versitility......far better and saves me mucking about with cartridges.

Nice for the fixes but the disgusting blatant product placement is poor form esp from nintendo really thought they were better than that, guess they have to keep investors happy. Cars look really out of place too and dont fit with the aesthetic of the game at all.

Best GBA Kirby imho.

Plenty on youtube, looks alright, standard vertical shmup fare.

Ridiculous article, No because its not a tablet...theres your answer.

Read this on destructoid this morning, hope theres some mention of more sega classics getting a makeover from m2.

As someone who recently put the original wii to rest I use devolution on my wii u to allow me to play my legit gamecube collection, least the developers added anti piracy measures to ensure a copy of the game was required. It's silly nintendo hasent enabled this feature yet while homebrewers have made it possible, There are benefits and gamecube games look great on the gamepad too!!

Got Guacamele on xbone for free and already played mutant mudds on vita couple of years ago, guess I might go for bike rider or kung fu rabbit.

Do nintendo only issue press releases on the day the shop updates or was this posted elsewhere? Also what are the Etrian Odyssey discounts?

guacamelee defientely!
and i didn't reaize pokemon art academy is out this week when i have no more money...poopoodoodoocacapoopledoodledoggiedoople

If third party titles are included as rayman is, you could easily drop lego, wario & nintendoland and substitute, deus ex, mass effect 3 and assassins creed black flag. Otherwise seems ok although as others have said i would have swapped no.1&2 around.

€9.99 in europe, really impressed enjoying it far more than i thought, multiplayer is great too..defo worth the price imho.

€7.99 for europe, will happily pick this up looks fun.

lol, this is so funny, not releasing it in the uk because of the voices when its available across the pond here in Ireland for €17.99, I've enjoyed the 3 games and I'am sure they were all pal uk carts, crazy. Good games though

Have the sega naomi cart and while its just not a very good shmup imho (chain/scoring system is poor) so many other greats that could have been ported, still i suppose its better than nothing, 3ds is seriously lacking some shmup love, wish there was an option to flip the screen though, horizontal your missing half the screen.

@Alucard83 Off the top of my head, Tales of Vesperia, Eternal Sonata, Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, Resonance of Fate, Star Ocean: The Last Hope,
Record of Agarest War, Magna Carta 2, Enchanted Arms, Infinite Undiscovery, The Last Remnant and NEIR were some good jrpg times I had on my xbox last gen, sure action/shooters get all the press but there all titles there if your willing to look, suprising we got these considering the Japenese gamers bias towards Microsoft, which was also the best shmup platform last gen.

don't think they'll cancel it rather than delay wiiu/ 3ds versions. didn't they say one version of smash would come out before the other? if they cancelled this, that would be stupid for them, they should know nintendo if where their audience is

Was waiting for the review, may have to pick this up, looks interesting.

Was this released on wii u in Japan? I remember the wii version looked great but wonder what the wii u version adds although i imagine the gampad would come in handy, eitherways I doubt we'll see it oversees due to the small wii u userbase, translation costs & monthly fees, shame as it looks great.

@Trikeboy gold would have been nice with the zelda xl alright, went for green instead think it'll look pretty sweet and it is year of luigi and all

Idont know looking forward to playing this although I feel one of the main issues is that the wii u is seen as a second console rather than a main one, all my friends that own a wii u also have a 360 or ps3 and I think developers who are very firmiliar with the architecture of these consoles at this point are hedging their bets that most will pick it up on one of the other formats so why invest in a wii u port. unfortunately this is what ya get for bringing out a comparable console technically while there are two others that have been well established in the market for years. First party titles is what will sell nintendo hardware as always.

Personally delighted by this news, was just about to import a 3ds. This seems simple enough really and i have a suitable 3ds, there really is no valid reason for region-locking in this day and age.

@JaxonH no feeding the trolls

That's really lame, ill prolly pick up one of the other version's now particularly if its the same price. sad thing is i'd rather buy the wii u version and support the system but coulden't justify buying a gimped version.

Wonder what hardware this is running on, have a triforce running the originals on naomi universal cab, wouldent mind giving this a go, thankfully no annoying announcer in this one

Peter Dinklage was incredibble in the station agent, great movie too.

It's certainly strange that the same reviewer's opinion of the game seems to have changed fairly significantly since that review in which he claims the game "is just way too plain when it comes to graphics, music, and even gameplay" and this review in which he describes the visuals and soundtrack as "captivating". I know peoples opinions can change but this drastically? or a softer scoring policy here on nl? would appreciate an explanation.

im still going for this game, my favorite nd i think it was it best one to remake, even before it was announced

Nintendo are really on a roll lately with poor decision making, really needs to be a shuffle in mgmt.

@Subie98 :me too, ill use my kindle fire for that thank you, bought a wii u for games which unfortunately are seriously lacking atm and an ebook aint gonna cut it.

Got to be Fire Emblem for me.

Don't really regard any systems as rival's, prolly eventually get the nextbox and maybe ps4 depending on software/exclusives, was'nt impressed at all with ps4 reveal and not expecting the xbox one to excite me either. Either way ill probably wait until theres a few decent titles out, wont jump in at launch like i did with the u .

I dont know, I had alot of fun across all formats this gen as I'am sure I will with the next including wii u of course but still I have to say far more of those great experiences came from 360 & ps3 than the wii, there were some great titles for sure but the waggle factor because boring quickly and the majority of titles I enjoed the most were those which placed little emphasis on wiicentric features and for the most part would have been better without them at all. I'll probably invest in all next gen hardware and hopefully wii u wont get left behind in a couple of years like the wii did. Dont think anyone thats played all three can honestly disagree that both xbox and ps3 had far greater catalogue overall than the wii which missed out on a load of great multiplatform titles. I really couldent see myself getting by with just one console whichever one it may be.

Someone got out of bed on the wrong side this morning

Second only to RE4 as best RE title imho, been looking for an excuse to replay so will gladly double dip on this, particularly multiplayer, online coop would be nice too.

Recently acquired the megadrive version which i've been playing in my jamma cab, one of a rare number of games thats aged incredibly well and still plays great. rock hard though.

@Stratostar already is, defo an 8 imho and as for the tougher puzzles, isint that what miiverse is for?

Pretty dissapointing on the Wii U eshop front, particularly considering the lack of third party support and the number of titles that have been delayed.

Great game, far more action oriented than xenoblade or pandora's, better stories & characters too.

From Businesswire:
Publishing giant Electronic Arts has issued its financial results for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2012 and fiscal 2012 as a whole and, wouldn't you know it, a year with a new Mass Effect game results in revenue totals that are much higher than years without Mass Effect games.

Looking at just the fourth quarter of 2012, EA's total net revenue stacked up at $1.36 billion, a 24 percent increase over the $1.09 billion reported at the end of this same period last year. Net revenue generated from digital sales nearly doubled year-over-year, $419 million in Q4 2012 as opposed to $211 million in Q4 2011 – a 98 percent increase.

Packaged goods still made up the majority of the publisher's revenue, however, at $949 million, up from $879 in Q4 2011. Net income for the period was also up year-over-year, $400 million for the period ending on March 31, 2012 as compared with $151 million for the same period in 2011. Naturally, EA contributes its successful fourth quarter to the release of Mass Effect 3 and the continued popularity of FIFA 12.

Fiscal 2012 as a whole presents a slightly different story. While net revenue was up 15 percent year-over-year ($4.14 billion in fiscal 2012 vs. $3.58 billion in fiscal 2011), net income fell 263 percent, from $276 million in fiscal 2011 to just $76 million in fiscal 2012.
Looking forward to fiscal 2013, EA expects an approximate net revenue of $4.07 billion, $950 million of which it expects to earn during the first fiscal quarter of 2013, which ends on June 30, 2012.

Understandable given the size of the current Wii u userbase, ill prolly pick this up on one of the other platforms now. Surprising no one has mentioned the bandwidth issues associated with digital downloads, many potential customers could be lost due to speed/size limitations. Dont think physical media is going away too soon, someday maybe but not for a while, regarding the pricing it's a moot point since the economic value of $50 is different for everybody, it may be alot for some people and nothing for others.

Oh and Gunman Clive should also be removed from the eshop because of its senseless depiction of animal slaughter too! I feel a compelling urge to strangle a rabbit

I seriosly doubt anyone commenting is actually going to play this either way, the game is awful, should have received a 2 or 3 max. The narrative (which is written by Andrew Kreisberg, who's penned Fringe & Arrow episodes) is dissapointing as is the awful voice acting and the visuals are low budget to say the least. The game reeks of a forced, rushed out title that no one should have to endure. Play every other Wii U release before this one! (and yes that includes tank tank tank!)

It'll certainly never reach mainstream when it's almost impossible to locate in highstreet retailers, I've searched high & low for a copy and it couldent be found anywhere, apparently its a GAME exclusive in uk/ireland & with GAME closing down here last year a physical copy cant be got anywherem, increidble as it sounds in 2013. Managed to snag a copy on Amazon for €30, a tenner cheaper than its eshop price, which is also a fiver more expensive than the ps stores version. Nintendo's pricing strategy is truely baffling at times.
