ouroborous

didnt really have to explain that but its cool that you did, inner workings of the site and all revealed! ;p

just mad that to buy all of the DLC it actually costs more than the retail price of the actual game itself.... that doesnt sit quite right with me. DLC should be additional right? which just doesnt seem like its something that shoudl be expensive.
sure you dont have to buy them all, but duh, if theres extra stuff, im going to want all of it.

oooo nano assault ex for $10, now that's what im talkin' 'bout!

what makes it impossible? if people would buy it, you should freakin' make it! how dumb are you for cryin out loud. come on, no matter how wrapped up the story even supposedly might be, there is always room to write some more.

doh, wiiu eshop, who cares, want some 3DS eshop or it doesnt matter.

wow, i cant believe that more people have a 32gb card than anything else. while cards are relatively cheap in general, the 32gb card isnt exacly free, not to mention that downloads of retail games and thus a much greater need for space has only just started to become something that people are going to need.
maybe it was just a (i need to upgrade, might as well go big) kind of thing.

well i agree that the wiiU looks basically just like a medium redesign of the wii but then the gamepad is a drastic difference from the horrible wiimotes. but yea, i guess you could mistakenly think it was just an add-on for your regular old wii if you weren't too knowledgeable about video games.
personally i think they should have gone with a different name for the system altogether. i know they hope to cash in on the wii brand but that was a name to begin with and cant go away soon enough. a new name says, hey we have a brand new product and platform for you.
sticking with the straight white console color was probably a mistake too as again, it does make it look just like the wii.

duh, nintendo could fund themselves FOREVER by simply releasing their ENTIRE back catalog

3DS 3DS 3DS 3DS 3DS!! most likely won't care if it ends up being for WiiU.

eXx-spensive!!

sweeeet, loved the second one, need to play this one, my brother said it was good

yea i know thats just a mock-up of the unit but it sure could look alot prettier/sleeker.

it does say something about nintendo's awkward and short-sighted marketing though, the initially desperate drought of game availability (especially big-name games and must-have games, etc).
if they had a lineup of releases as good as what we have seen in the past few months to begin with, they would never have had to drop the price at all. not that i am complaining, i didnt jump on the bandwagon until that happened and really didnt expect much but was pleasantly surprised.
i love my 3DS about a million times more than i ever loved my DS.
with the DS i only used it once in a great while when there was a Zelda or Castlevania game. the 3DS i use every chance that i get.

its a shame that for sooo very long, the 3DS game roster was very spare. things are rockin and rollin at the moment with lots of great games finally coming out and i can only hope that continues for some time. i personally love the 3DS, and the 3D effect, a million times more than i ever thought that i would. so i hope that the system has as long and healthy a lifespan as the various iterations of the DS.

never played fire emblem before this, the beautiful graphics are what hooked me in, that and the general hype around the series i suppose, well, and the demo was fun.
its casual mode all the way for me, ive been playing games since NES and have beaten my share of impossibly hard ones and see no point in breaking my back these days when there's an option that makes alot of games more fun to play (at least on the first go through), i earned my stripes long ago. i'd say its wonderful that theres a casual mode for situations just like this. same goes for etrian odyssey, the fact that party death in casual mode just zaps you back to town seems entirely fair to me.
but hey, if you didnt really start gaming until PS2 or 3, then by all means, go all hardcore and earn your stripes, either way, its nice and good that there's an option.

time limit levels suck man.... same goes for that in the 3DS version "extra levels" which arent really extra levels since they are timed and not are not part of another world in the game either, which is also lame.
give us a new land to conquer, new levels, new bosses and enemies, not just a damn re-skin with somewhat altered controls.

new levels = awesome
finally a re-release that has worthwhile additions
not just some multiplayer crap or "slightly enhanced graphics" or a damn rush mode, etc

and for the record, phantom hourglass and spirit tracks were excellent games, unless you are some kind of wind waker hater, they are as close to more of the same that we are likely to get.
and you get used to the stylus control pretty quickly so no point in sayin poop about that.

weird art style, probably get used to it tho, and the walking on walls part could be fun. link to the past era setting is a good thing.

cool, hopefully they learned something from the last one which was kinda terrible and get it right this time, the first one was one of my fav snes games.

knew it was going to happen

you have to email them? well thats most likely going to shorten the list of applicable responses to this thread. just posting it here makes alot more sense (although probably makes for a really really long thread).

hm, yea soundtracks, especially to really old megaman games are nothing special. especially available only in mp3, not even any sweet packaging to make it more, well, actually collectible?

havent played any of these mario vs donkey games yet but plan to when i have the time, maybe when the new one comes out

hm, could be cool, i love the nano assault series, especially the newest entries.

i dont get it, what is this? it just looks like a little leather wallet strapped to his wrist with a picture of the pikachu feeding game thingy from the 90's on it.
am i missing something or is that it? or does it open up or something and we just really need more pictures?

where can i get one for a cheap price in NA? a discount like that would really help to inspire, i do want to get a wii U but have been waiting for a good deal or a must-have game.

MHU3 & Etrian Odyssey 4

bad news is i have no idea if this will ever see a release outside of japan. (it should have been released the same day as the XL, which was ages ago, but no, not so far).
good news is that it's not region or system locked in any way and you can get them from amazon, etc no matter what country you are in and it will work on your XL. you'll probably have to pay at least twice the normal price though.
or you can do what i did and just mod your original CPP, it works just fine on the XL that way, though its a little less pretty.

cool, not really the most famous characters from the megaman series' though and that's possibly pricey for a toy or figurine. but at least you hopefully get both for that price.

cool, the first one ended up being plenty fun. i would totally buy another one.

omg i just watched the videos, holy crap that game looked like it would have been awesome fun. i love the style, they 3D-ified megaman X and totally made him look awesome and cool. seriously, these were the guys who made metroid prime, i dont think they would have messed this up. they took metroid from 2D to 3D perfectly on the first try, which was shocking and awesome.

interesting as a concept but execution of the idea would be the real deciding factor.
if it only worked for one game or didnt do anything very interesting it wouldnt have much point.

add this to the pile of cancelled megaman games that would have sold billions of copies.
capcom what is wrong with you????
they probably cancelled this so they could make a sour patch kids or dora the explorer FPS or something ;p like the world really needs that.

holy crap holy crap holy crap, a metroid prime-style megaman x game, i am totally into that and would have (and would still) bought that in a heartbeat.
how could they possibly NOT think that this was a good idea????

why for the love of god can we not get Super Metroid on 3DS eshop????
you do realize that THIS is EXACTLY why people use emulators and flashcarts, right?

that just looks like abyss on wiiU, not something new.
however, i would love to see a new title that expands upon the original.
the core gameplay was fun, the original was just very rudimentary and kinda short.
it reminded me of solar jetman on NES though, and i LOVED that game and would be happy to play anything that reminds me of it.

the black rockman laptop is probably the best looking one. dont know how crazy people really are about roll that they would want a laptop covered in very pedestrian pictures of her. something like this would be more attractive.

yea maybe a super-megaman-fanboy would pay $50 for this but $100 is realllllllly pricey considering that its not even a Terabyte (or two) drive as well (cause that would be kind of cool), but you have to plug it into your computer to light it up. i guess that would work better with a desktop perhaps?

...game-themed 2TB drive statuary, that's a pretty good idea, provided that they wouldn't be terribly more expensive than the drive on it's own to begin with. something like that would go great with your wiiU for download storage!

hm, not that its exactly the same thing, but the recent mickey game for 3DS was very disappointing compared to the positive previews that abounded before it's release so i'm not sure what to think about this game.

so they bothered to make a crappy monochrome gameboy game, but its not going to ever be available on a gameboy? that is really really stupid. and good lord why no full color? even if its gotta be gameboy graphics, seriously, no color??

huh, pikmin 3 and wind waker HD are about tied and leading the list. though, WW is indeed a great game despite it's age.

Add-ons for systems were always a bad idea. It always felt cheap and slapdash. What always was needed was a brand new system, or at the very least, a complete re-design of the existing hardware. which wouldnt have sold well though because who wants to buy basically the same system again just to play a handful of games supported buy the add-on. even the expanded memory packs for the regular N64 were a bad idea and seldom used. there should never be a dividing line on a single system as to what games you can play or not. either a system plays the same games for everybody or it doesnt.
another major problem with the add-ons was that none of them were ever significantly supported, so regardless of popularity or not, they proved to be basically pointless.

i still dont see how CPP support could be a bad or unnecessary thing, its always a good idea and a good option. however, after playing the game, the control setup works well enough that im not steamed about it (unlike kid icarus, which was a fun game but misery on the hands to play). nintendo, you begrudgingly win this round of your continued and pointless lack of support... of your own add-on...

looks pretty cool, hope we get this in NA.

bah, nothin' very good in that list.

oh what the hell, are the only updates really just the posting your pictures online crap? thats nice and all but any improvements on THE ACTUALY PROGRAM would be nice. its great but it would reeeeeeally be nice to have something as simple as a -paint bucket- option, like every other painting program since ever.

luigi mansion + etrian odyssey

bout time! cave story is awesome, you guys are going to enjoy this!

that's the name of the game anyway, gouge the eager early-adopters and then lower the price for everyone who's just casually interested or put off by budget constraints (yes there really are people who can't just drop $300-$500 on a whim).
remember how insanely expensive the PS2 was at launch? that didnt last long but they got their money out of it so whatevz.
