Gutted! No Aban Hawkins & The 1001 Spikes and no Shovel Knight

Thanks for all the great childhood memories, waking up on a Sunday morning to watch the show. RIP you will be missed Luigi. For anyone interested and who hasn't seen how good this show is, Super Mario Bros. Super Show is now on Netflix too.

What advertising?! I went to Tesco last night for the midnight release of COD Ghosts to get a copy for my Wii-U. When I got to the counter and asked for a Wii-U copy the assistant said that they only stocked the XBOX 360 and PS3 editions! So what the hell is all this talk is about Nintendo partnering up with Tesco to promote the Wii-U? When Tesco aren't even stocking brand new Wii-U releases. Also the advertising here in the UK has been poor! The only marketing I've seen on TV here was when they sponsored The Tour De France and those adverts before the programme started were pathetic. Nintendo really needs to shift things up a gear to get the Wii-U momentum rolling.

I have this for the Sega Dreamcast which this game was also released on and would find it to be a great addition to have relased on both the Wii-U and 3DS e-shops. Hope they meet their target and get it released ASAP.

I'd like to see Street Figher III 3rd Strike get released on the eshop. For me that is the greatest Street Fighter ever!

Is Two Brothers and Pier Solar still on release schedule for this fall? Those are two games that I'm anticipating the most.

Great article! I still have all my Club Nintendo Magazines from back in the day, including the one photo'd above. I still like to look through them every now and again. I also still have the Merlin Nintendo Sticker Album which is incomplete though

@Damo All the info you require about the IOS port of Lunar Silver Star Story is here. http://www.rpgfan.com/reviews/Lunar_Silver_Star_Story_Touch/index.html

@Damo The port of Lunar Silver Star Story for iPod, iPhone or iPad does contain the original translation by Working Designs. The graphics and cutscenes are from the PSOne and the music is from the updated PSP version so it's a bit of mixed bag but I do highly recommend it.

@Deadstanley I too would love to see Working Designs RPG's released on the Wii-U or 3DS eshop. Especially Lunar Silver Star Story and Lunar Eternal Blue. I don't know if you already know but you can download Lunar Silver Star Story and Vay on the App Store for your iPod, iPhone or iPad.

I thought they all looked amazing! But I have to say Monolith's X stole the show for me. Can't wait for that bad boy of a game to be released!

Can't wait! Finally get to play this awesome game so many people have raved on about. Roll on release day.

Awesome!! Can't wait for these two games to be released on with Wii-U eshop. Looking forward to joining up for some online co-op.

I really hope one day this gets released in the west on the Wii-U eshop. I've only briefly played the game before and had to run it on a SNES emulator on my Nexus 7 tab. What I have played so far has been highly enjoyable and I can see why so many people hold this game in high regard.

I'm not fussed at all this isn't come to the Wii-U. I had the first Dead Island on XBOX 360 and thought it was garbage.

Looking forward to downloading this game later on tonight when I get back home from work. Will be the first time i've ever played the game Punch Out. Seems a lot of people hold it in high regards.

Actually a new Einhander game would be lovely Square Enix.

I'd love to see a reboot of Parasite Eve, Brave Fencer Musashi or Xenogears on the Wii-U. With lovely HD visuals and taking full advantage of the Wii-U Gamepad. Make it happen Nintendo and Square Enix!

Great console! I never actually owned one at the time as I waited for the SNES (Best console ever!). But I used to go round to a old mates house and play his MegaDrive. I thought games like Sonic The Hedgehog 2, Gunstar Heroes, Castle Of Ilusion and Aladdin were awesome. Also the amount of arguments we had over who was the best Nintendo or Sega was crazy. The SNES and MegaDrive era was certainly the greatest time ever in gaming history. Bring back the 90's gaming era!

@dragon_rider
Thanks for the info. Glad to hear it isn't my Wii-U gamepad screen that is playing up. i was starting to get worried.

Has anyone else also noticed issues with this game when playing it on the Wii-U gamepad. It looks perfectly fine and sharp on my 26 inch HDTV but when playing it on the Wii-U gamepad and getting up to full speed the image goes very blurry and a bit blocky when looking at the track and surounding landscapes in the distance. I searched on Google and found another site where someone else said they were having the same problem. If anyone else is if having the same problem it would be good to know. Getting worried that something may be wrong with my Wii-U gamepad screen.

Thank-you Nintendo!

Look forward to browsing this community later on tonight. Check out all the awesome artwork i'm sure thats already been posted on there.

If it's around £30 maximum then i'll be dropping the cash for this tittle. Anymore and i'll wait for a price drop. Looks a really awesome title and with it been compared to Guardian Heroes makes me want it even more. Roll on release day!!

Think i'll get Castlevania for the 3DS and give Tank Tank Tank a whirl whilst it's free. If it's any good i'll purchase the DLC packs, as the videos i've seen look like it's a really fun game.

@MasterGraveheart
Right with ya. Everything we here lately for the Wii-U is all doom and gloom. It's a shame all regions just can't play together online but at least it does have online play. Hopefully Capcom aren't going to pull a stunt like Ubisoft and push the release day back a few days before release.

Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot says."He feels most exclusive content will soon be found in the online stores, such as the eShop". Which is what I said earlier in the previous article about this topic. Nintendo support the Indie Devs more and get their content out sooner. The games I've seen so for coming to the e-shop, look far better then anything Ubisoft is bringing to the table.

@Marioldent
Exactly! Why not release like originally intended, then release a day one patch to solve the problem. It's happend a few times on the XBOX 360 where day one patches have had to be released to fix a bug. Hell it even happens with games released on Apples app store (Final Fantasy Dimensions) been one of them.

Couldn't care less about this game! Never been a fan of any Ubisoft game really. I still think it's a blow to both fans of Rayman and to Nintendo themselves. Things are looking a bit dry over the coming months game wise. I'd really like Nintendo to concentrate more on the Wii-U e-shop and get games out like Two Brothers, Abram Hawkins And The 1001 Spikes and Pier Solar sooner to the e-shop. Help the indie devs out there Nintendo as I see them as the future of games and helping to secure the Wii-U as a platform worth investing in. Forget about publishers like Ubisoft when their pulling stunts like this.

Love all the contra games! So really hoping they'll get this on the European 3DS E-Shop soon.

Really looking forward to seeing this get released on the Wii-U in the near future. Been trying to get myself a copy for the Mega Drive for quite some time. Now i'll just wait for the e-shop version and at a fraction of the price the game goes for on auction sites like e-bay. ROLL ON RELEASE DAY!!

F-Zero in February and Super Metroid in May. Can't wait!! It doesn't bother me too much but can we have 60hz please Nintendo? Seen all the posts on MiiVerse regarding Balloon Fight, saying can we Europeans have 60hz like USA and Japan.
