If they can sell the halloween packs with 120 cards for $15, which includes 40 shiny cards, why is anyone willing to spend $4+ per 10-card booster pack?
@TheBigK $5 on Wii U right now. @JimNorman, you completely left out the Wii U CAPCOM sale: RE4 Wii Edition, Ducktales: Remastered, RE: Umbrella Chronicles, D&D Chronicles of Mystara, & RE: Revelations (1 only, 2 never made it to Wii U) are on sale right now.
Sakurai seems to be the closest thing to a saint in the game development world. Paying his video staff to make these videos, not monetizing them at all, and just hoping to make new games in development more fun.
Congratulations Nintendolife! This is the worst article of all time! I hate it! For a serious note, Splatoon or Metroid Prime Hunters could easily be Nintendo's answer to Team Fortress 2 and be monetized in a similar manner.
I just want official NTSC printings of Earthbound Beginnings and Fire Emblem for the NES, and Star Fox 2 on SNES, Doshin the Giant on GCN, and the Cing sequels for DS & Wii. Also, Nintendo is missing out on money by not reprinting big ticket items like Earthbound, Cubivore, Fire Emblem for GC & Wii, and numerous Pkmn games. Limited Run has proved with numerous games that there is a market for open pre-orders for new printings on old hardware.
My first home console was a Gamecube, specifically the Platinum Gamecube bundled with Metroid Prime and the Metroid Prime 2 bonus disk. It did not come with a memory card, and the Memory Card 59 that came with Animal Crossing did not have enough room to store even Prime's 2 block save file, so I played through the Frigate Orpheon sequence quite a few times before I was finally gifted a 1019 card alongside Melee. Even then, it took a lot of slow progress over the next few years before I finally beat it.
@AlienX Another nice thing for EU games is they are frequently multi-language. Like Zion, I picked up Another Code R on a visit to Europe a few years back, but mine is certainly the German version. Pop it into the Wii U, homebrew around the region lock, and boom, it is in English. The most interesting one like that is Art Academy Atelier. I also have a German (based on the cover) physical copy of that Wii U game. When I use homebrew to bypass the region check, not only does it not load in German, the title screen actually says 'Art Academy Home Studio', (rather than Art Academy Atelier' as it appears when played on a UK Wii U) meaning that the full US localized version is on the disk!
@twztid13
Yes. The question was whether it has stereoscopic 3D. And I'm fairly certain it does. I'll post here tomorrow after buying it if it does not. If I say nothing assume it does display in 3D.
@Mr_Fox I'll try to describe it: Bayonetta is the most light-hearted game I have played. Everything is played for laughs, and even looking at the most serious moments, there's something, be it a visual gag, something utter absurd, or even something very subtle that makes it hillarious at all times.
"We've excluded Mario Kart 8 for Wii U, as having Mario Kart 8 on the list twice seems a bit silly given that Deluxe contains everything from the non-Deluxe version, and more." MK8 Wii U stands apart just fine. Different game mechanics and item ratios, different kart stats and physics, and there are ways to get all the new Deluxe maps to run on Wii U, making that less relevant than ever before.
@Azuris What possible reason would this guy have to lie? He's trying to sell a ge on a console that had had direct credit card paents disabled in all regions. At this point he needs honesty and transparency for any hope of success.
@Hydra_Spectre Seth Rogan is the mind behind truly disgusting films like 'Sausage Party', and that vile 'Santa Inc.' Call me uptight, but he shouldn't be anywhere near children's programming imo.

Infinifactory is probably the closest thing out there.
Re: Switch Online Versions Of Pokémon Stadium 1 & 2 Won't Support Transfers
It all comes from them not allowing for controller/rumble/transfer paks with the NSO N64 controller.
I would have bought one if they had that feature.

Re: Splatoon 3 Demo Server Tick Rate Is Apparently 30% Slower Than Original's
I knew something felt off! I played the Splatoon 3 Splatfest, then spun up Splatoon 1 and found the latter feels far better.
