I like the enforcement because there are a few d@!ks out there that are offensive and do spoil things for the lot of us. I am in full support of Nintendo on this issue of restrictions and I say that even in light of getting in trouble myself for posting spoiler pictures which got me a message from the administrators. As for those complaining about sharing systems with children I suggest getting your own system. I own two Wii U's and have my NNID linked to my Wii U and 3DS and everyone else's is linked to the other system, this avoids problems with administrator restrictions for all of us. But as it is I caution my children against posting spoilers or rude comments on the Miiverse. I tell them that if what they post they wouldn't say to some one face to face then they shouldn't post it. But at the root of the complaints posted about the enforcement by Nintendo on the Miiverse are either immature adults or kids, anyone who is responsible and respectful should agree with Nintendo's decision governing the aforementioned issue. To quote Aldous Huxley here "how much freedom do you need" and why?

I feel as if I am one of a very few who watched the digital event by Nuntendo with a smile on my face. The puppet show was most delightful and had me grinning from ear to ear. I loved just about every game that Nintendo announced, even if a couple were not what I expected. The biggest let down for me was the release windows for most of these games. I know summer time isn't the best time frame to release games but one sooner than September would have been nice. None-the-less I am super excited about all the titles coming out for Nintendo over the next 8 or 9 months.

There is a lot of trolling about Metroid Prime Federation Force and I can't understand why. At the end of the day Nintendo owns the IP and can do what it wants with the game. If you don't like MP Federation Force take to kickstarter and make your own spiritual successor to the Prime series and shut up already. I think MP Federation Force looks fun to play and I applaud Nintendo for taking a risk with this new story with in the Prime universe. I can't wait to get my hands on Metroid Prime Federation Force.

@Crimzonlogic it does look great and I am all about playing it. I can't wait to play Metroid Prime Federation Force.

I love the ideas.

I hope this will come to life by next year so I can book a trip to FLA and enjoy a Nintendo adventure while on vacation.

I love Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate and 4 Ultimate, with that being stated I am super excited for this next MH game called Stories. I hope it comes State side soon after the Japanese release or a global release would be nice!

Wow.

I would be okay with this if I could wrap my head around the controls. I can't see myself playing a game that takes hundreds of hours on my phone especially if the controls are awkward. Furthermore if it is a microtransaction laden game I would be discouraged from playing this title. I will be paying attention to reviews for this game and game play footage before I sink money into this game. More than likely I will avoid the game because I have plenty of other games to play right now and I am sure once DeNA and Nintendo announce a couple of mobile games I will be more apt to buy or play those ones.

@Ronoh I had the same thought about going back to ATLUS not that I really stopped buying their games. ATLUS is releasing ao many good games on the 3DS in the next couple of months it will be hard not to pick up one of their titles.

@Yai I feel the same way. This announcement by Level 5 was completely disappointing.

Bummer again I thought it would be out this year.

Fantasy Life was literally my favorite sim type game on the 3DS, I invested over 150 hours into this game I was looking forward towards FL2. I marked my calendar once I learned of FL2's potential announcement because I couldn't wait for all the great details on this game, i never expected this game would be for a phone. I have a very nice phone but I can't see myself buying FL2 for it and spending all those same hours playing FL2 on my phone. I am disappointed:(

I am excited about it all the mobile games and the NX. Nintendo isn't in need of money, that is they are in the black and have a stock pile that according to Forbes would keep them churning for atleast a decade even if they were losing 200 million a year. I think it's a realization by the company that times are in deed changing and they need to do something to secure a long-term future for Nintendo. I love my 3DS and Wii U, in fact I have two Wii U's that is how much I love the system but it bothers me little that potentially at the end of next year a new system could replace either one or both of the ones I love. Like cell phones that consumers on average buy every 18 months we might have to get use to a new console every 3-4 years. But hey there are plenty of titles on the Wii U to keep it alive in kicking after the NX comes out, that is if it replaces the Wii U. I love Nintendo games so as long as they keep being put out at the quality they currently are I find nothing wrong with Nintendo's recent decisions. By the way Code Name STEAM is awesome!

@JaxonH They sure do. There are games they have beaten 100% that I haven't yet, namely Mario 3D Land and Luigi's Mansion. I intend to get them their own copy of MH4U eventually, sooner than later because I am tired of wrestling my copy back off of them.

I am a huge fan of this series and this affinity to it has attracted the attention of my two sons. When the demo for MH4U was made available to all via the eShop, we three downloaded it. I expected the game to be too overwhelming for my youngest and a bit of a challenge for my oldest which I thought would translate to a loss of interest after they played it once or twice. I was wrong about how much time they would invest playing the demo. I was both delighted and surprised on how much both of them really enjoyed playing the game especially together. Still sceptical of how much they would enjoy the full game with all its complexities I cautioned against buying the full game for the pair of them, instead I allowed them to take turns playing my full version of MH4U. Watching them play my game illuminated to me how much I underestimated their abilities to play a game such as MH4U and pull enjoyment from it. I haven't run out and bought any more copies of the game just yet but come Easter I have no doubt that we will be hunting monsters together as a family. I value these family experiences immensely. I applaud Capcom for designing a multigenerational mid-maturity game that helps bridge that gap between younger player and older player.

I shouldn't care, I keep telling myself, but I do. Who am I to be upset about a company's decision to make a game that won't appear on a Nintendo console, hell all the cool game developers are doing it tha aese days. It just seems wrong that GF neglected to include Nintendo in some way.

I don't know why but this decision to abandon the Wii U by both Sega and Game Freak is wrong. Not that it matters that the Nintendo consoles because I don't think this game will be successful. Sega's track record as of late with good games hasn't been to appealing. Still though it seems wrong of these companies to ignore Nintendo fans because of the history they share.

This game is absolutely wonderful to play. I have invested hours playing MH4U and can't wait to play more.

@IceClimbers I can deal with that time frame, it will give me plenty to do this summer.

Can't wait for this game to come to the west! Hopefully we won't be waiting till the end of the year to get this amazing looking game.

I don't understand why they don't consider all the 3DS systems as one, or atleast put it into two categories the new 3DS and the old 3DS. But if you look at the bigger picture Nintendo sold approximately 41000 units , including the Wii U, between all categories, which isn't too shabby.

If they made this a game for purchase for 2-3 dollars it would have made them more money.

It's surprisingly fun, a bit addictive, in my opinion the best Pokemon game I have played and yes I spent a dollar on one gem, only because I had money left after purchasing Donkey Kong Land 1,2 and 3!

I am absolutely glad this title is doing well both in Japan and in western regions! MH3U was my first experience in the series and I completely was mesmerized by it, I spent too many hours playing it I am sure of that fact! I am glad to have a new installment to the MH series. MH4U has some good improvements, nothing to write home to dear old mom about but enough to lead you to believe the next iteration will be even better.

Another would be wonderful!

Game of the year!!!!!

I can't believe the reviewer gave this game such a high rating! The game is casual, it has great dialogue and the creativity of this game is pretty cool but it's a horrible mess that has you on pins and needles! I played through the game, DLC's included in under 20 hours and that's with experiencing two glitches that had me restart the game from scratch! It's a game where if you do something accidentally out of order you might find it impossible to progress any further! All in all it was worth atleast half of the 10 I spent to download it! It is a poor port and that may be the reason sales are so low in the US. Check out NinjaBee's website for all the known problems for this game and then check out their forum page to see what other issues with the game. It's really too bad this game has so much potential to be a great game but has so many issues that it falls short. I give it a 5/10!

I don't know why people care so much about Nintendo having third party games, there is a simple solution to this problem buy another console or don't buy one, but please do everyone a favor and get over it. Nintendo will plot it's own course and there isn't anything we can do to alter their path to either glory or destruction so either enjoy what they have to offer or don't. I personally have been enjoying my Wii U since launch, so much so I purchased a second one so I didn't have to share with my family! The games are fantastic and fun that Nintendo has to offer and I couldn't ask for more from them. I don't miss games like GTA or COD being available on the Wii U because they are unappealing mindless shooters that only embrace violence there is no glory or honor in murdering and raping people just because everyone is doing it. Give me fantasy and adventure that isn't readily available on the streets already or that can't be had by going to war, this is gaming to me. I want to be surrounded by the impossible and fantastic because it's so inspiring and makes me feel good, and that is what Nintendo delivers best games that make you feel good. The world sucks but I don't need to relive it in my living room via video games. You can keep your ultraviolet wet dream 3rd party games and I will keep my fun and friendly Nintendo games.

Sure third party support would be nice but that's if the titles work at all for me quality is better than quantity and revenue is for companies to worry about not me. I care about the games I play not how well a company profits, bit just the same I am sure Nintendo will be in the black after this Holiday season passes. As I say to all those who believe 3rd party games are the answer to Nintendo's woes: You can keep your third party games I will keep my Nintendo games and we all will be happy in the end.

It matters not, Nintendo has some great games people who love Nintendo will buy them and be delighted and that is all that matters. We have already established that Nintendo's weakest link is to the European people's for various reasons, but those reasons and that lack of sales won't bankrupt Nintendo. The only effect that weak sales will have for Nintendo in Europe is a delay of popular titles, meaning that new titles will release in that region later than others, which blows for big N fans.

Still selling at retail in the states, most characters are still available. They are robbing you over there!

@cfgk24 I did not know that! Does it have an eReader app too?

If the 3DS had a music player I would use it as well as other features like an eReader, I think it makes a lot of sense even here in the West. I like to escape from my phone as often as possible usually when I am gaming so having a music app on my 3DS would be a definite plus. I also like the idea for my children too, they would enjoy having the ability to play music and their video games all on one device at the same time!

The last two Nintendo tours haven't visited Ohio, WTF! I would love to go to one of these but traveling more than 4 hours is beyond what I am willing to do!

I loved that game!

I have tons of friends who are not going to buy a Wii u until Zelda U comes out, pretty much without question. They might consider buying one early if they were cheaper. Most of My friends are disappointed in their purchase of their Xbones and PS4 s so they feel buying another console right now might be a waste of money.

@Discostew I imagine they need all the revisions to keep the unit valid on the market. There is a new iteration of a phone or tablet every year so it makes sense for Nintendo to revise systems more often now.

@Mus1cLov3r. I am with you on that notion, I want it ASAP!

Just a hunch but we won't see the new 3DS in the US until late January or early February! I think Nintendo wants to sell as many Wii U's in its strongest region during the busy shopping time of the year without sinking those sales with a new device!

I could play this endlessly! Bring on the DLCs!

Going to have to get an external storage, mine has filled up in less than a year with all of these shop games!

It would be awesome if the Wii U got the game as well as the 3DS, I would buy both! I have MH3U for both systems right now and I play as different characters on each platform, the game is great bigger but wonderful when your on the go!

Wow...Nintendo has brought my dreams about a better 3DS to life! I can not wait for this to come out, I hope it's prior to MH4U and a MH4U is made available in the West!!!!!!!!!!

I can't wait!

@TheHumbleFellow totally

Day One purchase for me, I am excited about this game, I have been since it was announced last December, the Nintendo Direct just reaffirmed I am buying it on day one. I just have to decided which costume set I want so I know where to put in my pre-order.

No gimmicks in the USA, because Nintendo doesn't need to convince us to buy a Wii U or any of the Wii U games, we buy everything they produce! We Love Nintendo!

Which is better the 3DS or the Wii U version?

Totally looking forward to this title!
