No DLC for BLOPS 2 even though it says it on the back of the box = No more purchasing CoD games. The games are far superior on the WiiU and yet, outside of the occasional patch, we get nothing, not even Nuketown. Activision officially burned the bridge to my wallet.
I had the original 3DS with all of the ambassador games. I went to Vegas for New Years a couple of years ago and, long story short, the system got destroyed. System transfer was simply not an option. About a year later, I bought the 3DS XL. After repeated emails to Nintendo and one very intense phone call where I was nearly questioned to death about my purchasing history, Nintendo added all of my ambassador games to the download queue of my new 3DS.
It was a very confusing ordeal because the first couple of times I contacted Nintendo, they told me that they were unable to add the games to my queue and that it is impossible to do it any other way than the system transfer.
It really sucks because I was given the choice to have either my ambassador games restored to me or my games which I had purchased through the eShop; I couldn't have both. I chose the ambassador games because all of the GBA games are not available for purchase.
Anyways, yes, I have experience with this type of thing and, no, it is not fun!
I'm not much of a Rayman fan, I don't dislike the game, I'm just indifferent to it. It's a good platformer, but whatever. My problem is that the Wii U needs games. Now. While it is true that it is Nintendo's job to sell the hardware, all first parties need to be able to depend on third parties to keep their promises. In this case, the promise of a high-demand title upon launch of a new system. Ubisoft has failed here.
That video was pretty funny...what wasn't funny was how bad that game sucked. It would have been a perfect 10, if you at least had the option to play with a classic controller. I'm with Ganon, I couldn't even bring myself to finish the last 2 dungeons because it was just that crappy. First Zelda game I have never beaten...
I used to own that VHS tape for the video that shows the US video game team or whatever. It was hands down the cheesiest thing I've ever seen. Wish I still had it...
Sadly, I never got to play this game on the 64. I mastered the SNES one and the 3DS one. This really needs to be released on the VC before Nintendo stops supporting it altogether in favor of the Wii U.
Great, now all future Zelda titles will suck as hard and be as equally frustrating as the Skyward Sword controls.
OPTION noun 1 leave quietly or be forcibly removed—it's your option: choice, alternative, recourse, course of action; power to choose, right to choose. 2 there are three options: beef, chicken, fish: choice, selection, alternative, possibility, way to go; informal bet.
Seriously, I understand the business side of reasoning for spreading out the games...obviously Nintendo isn't going to want to release all the big games at once. Having said that, the Wii successor is coming out sometime in '12 and we have yet to see a staggering number of high-profile games. I fully expect that the Big N isn't going to release E V E R Y game that we are clamoring for, but why do different regions get different games at different times? Don't know about everyone else, but I would probably be less annoyed with this if they would just release a written-in-stone schedule for download Mondays.
Why is NA always the last to get anything good? To be honest, I wasn't even expecting FFVI this week....yes, I've learned to expect being disappointed every Monday, but when I learned about the SNES classic controller that plugs into the Wii remote, that just broke my heart even more.

Re: Wii Sports Club: Bowling
Anyone know how much this will cost in the US?
Re: The Wii Mini Will Arrive in the U.S. in November
It would be cool if they sold the red wiimotes individually now. I need one more to go with my red Wii.
Re: 3DS XL Coloured Charging Cradles Sold Out On Club Nintendo

Re: Rumour: Take-Two To Reveal Next-Gen Versions of Grand Theft Auto V At Investor Call
I'm not particularly a big GTA fan, but if it'll help sell more WiiU consoles, I'm all for it!

Re: EA CEO John Riccitiello Resigns
Karma police got him for allowing subpar support of the Wii U.

Re: Ubisoft CEO Not Satisfied With Wii U Sales
This is quite interesting as I'm sure that there are many Wii U owners that aren't too pleased with the Ubisoft CEO.
Re: Rumour: Ubisoft's Watch Dogs Is Coming To The Wii U
@rcmadiax I like your logic.
Re: Ubisoft: Nintendo Will Make "Necessary Changes" To Wii U
I am tired of Nintendo systems getting crappy third-party support. Time to send a message to Ubisoft and stop buying their games.
Re: First Impressions: New Super Mario Bros. U
Looks sweet!
Re: Peek Between Your Fingers at a Project Zero 2 Trailer
I am getting R E A L L Y tired of reading stories about games that look interesting just to see the release date for NA listed as TBA...

Re: Go Beyond the Labyrinth With New 3D Screenshots
There's been no announcement of any Western release...I am getting real tired of reading those words on this website.
Re: Japanese Virtual Console List - September 2011
Why do the other regions get hard release dates for downloads and NA's are all based on spec.?
Re: Japan Gets Cool Zelda-Themed Prepaid Cards
Very cool. Also very tired of NA not getting anything cool from the big N.

Re: Super NES Classic Controller Visits Australian Club Nintendo
I agree with TheDarkness, but I'll take pretty much ANY love Nintendo would be willing to show towards NA.
