Just got the email for mine! Now to find my 3DS under all this paperwork...

I think the price is more than right, considering your get the best parts of these games, the unlockable stamps, AND the remixes? The starting seven games alone would cost more than $15 and not all of them would be enjoyable the entire way through.

Also have to say that the achievement system is devilish. Every other game is "just a couple more stars to the next remix" or "just a few more points to the next stamp". Easy to lose a couple hours in this game.

I would sell a baby for a Crunchyroll app.

Wait.. only Nintendo of Europe?

.... ahem

... ahem Pardon me.

MINEMINEMINEMINEMINEMINEMINEMINEMINEMINE!!!!!

Here's hoping Paypal donations jump for a bit after the Kickstarter ends. I just backed it myself. Couldn't get away from those backer costumes.

So wait, I just went on Amazon and it said that the Deathstroke DLC is not included, but I thought it WAS confirmed for Wii U. The heck is going on?

Love the Ellen idea for advertising. While they are at it, we have Hulu Plus on the Wii U. Advertise on there! I see commercials for competitor console and 3rd Party stuff all the time, pay for some ad spots there!

@rjejr Well they did just hire a new ad agency, so here's hoping they get on their game. Same guys that did the really good PS3 commercials.

@triforcepower73 When you go in make sure they refund you the difference or send it to another preorder. I've had cases where I traded against a preorder and ended up getting cash back because the value of the trade ins exceeded the cost of the product.

Downloading as soon as I get off work today. Between this and The Wonderful 101, along with other games I have on the HD and disc, I'm gonna be busy this weekend.

This can't succeed. Let's look at this.

Wii U costs the same as this thing but offers more with a Gamepad that does more. By the 20th, the Wii U will cost less while still offering the same components.

Now let's add this thing to the PS4 and Xbox One for giggles. You're adding $350 to a $400 and $500 console respectively and we haven't even gotten games, paid for online, gotten an extra regular controller, or any other peripherals. I calculated that just to fully arm your PS4 and XBox One including the Cross Plane, you could buy almost FOUR fully loaded Wii U's, and that's the system with game, two extra games, and a Pro Controller. I only calculated for the PS4 and XBox One because this thing by itself costs more than the PS3 and XBox 360.

Now add in that this thing does less than a laptop or tablet (PC sales are gone) and undermines the existence of both the PS Vita and XBox Smart Glass and even Sony and Microsoft will find this to be more of a nuisance than a blessing for an answer to the second screen gaming problem.

And if it supports Ouya... it costs over three times the cost of an Ouya. Full stop.

If this guy isn't hit with a cease and desist letter from SOMEONE by month's end I will be shocked.

Being download only I imagine the cost risk is lowered some.

Wonder if this has anything to do with the recent Atlus bidding proceedings...

Good deal to get more Atlus games out there for the incoming acquisition.

Bad deal if some other company that won't let them release on Nintendo platforms got them and this is a last minute squeeze before they vanish off the shop.

I noticed a badge graphic in the background of that last clip..hmm..

I'm hoping it's a Wii U companion game but a stand alone RPG would be even better. I just realized that the entirety of Gen 5 passed without a proper companion game if you don't count PokePark (and I don't).

Splinter Cell is tempting... I voted Runner but I may just download Blacklist instead of doing a physical copy. This summer really saw my number of downloaded games jump and their is a convenience about the whole thing I really dig.

@Azikira

Given the first bit of DLC, everything will be released and then we get it. Given how buggy Zatanna turned out to be (infinite combo breaking the game), quality control needs to wake up.

Will love it if free, but four bucks still seems a fair price. I've been eager to get this one since it was announced. Then again... I'm an art teacher..... probably can't get the district to reimburse my purchase of it as a work related expense..

@ KingH3nrry

Not at all, but we're in the first year of a console's lifespan, which is the roughest and messiest. This is a growing pain period that will pass just like every other.

Well I think I know what I'll be getting the wife...

This is an easy patch fix, and honestly? I care more for the online multi than local. This is a single play option being excluded and for the sake of timely release, not an entire mode being excluded due to "lack of interest" like Arkham Origins. Besides, after the backlash from Rayman Legends I'm not surprised Ubisoft isn't keen on delaying any Wii U titles.

Blacklist will be my first Splinter Cell game, and honestly? It's a day one purchase.

Having tried it at the Gamestop event, this game definitely deserves the high praise.

The art style is seeing a change from the chibi style you see here.

Backed this one last minute. Definitely looking forward to have that RPG itch scratched on the Wii U.

Time to get me a new eShop card.

If they translate all the Japanese songs, I believe this will sell. I can see conventions opening up karaoke cafes using this, bars especially in college towns, hell SCHOOLS could see use for this. Multiple languages and a good rental fee and I could see this taking off.

Given how Ubisoft kept holding the game hostage based on Rayman game sales, I wouldn't be surprised if they look at the sales of Rayman Legends to see what consoles will see development for the game.

I imagine March will be the release, February if we are extremely lucky but that is unlikely. If their fiscal year ends March 31, 2014 Iwata would want sales numbers for Mario Kart 8 before that time.

Either way, Mario Kart 8 is what I tried at the Best Buy event and I wanted to walk out with it then, so yeah, definitely on my list.

I could see the good in buying Atlus as another second party partner. The chance to re-release the Persona games on the Wii U, exclusive rights to Persona 5 and access to the entire back catalogue of Atlus games as a possibility. Not to mention SMT games help console sales and those in the niche JRPG fanbase would swoop in for consoles if they knew one of the most prolific of studios was owned by Nintendo.

On the other hand, the price tag on that entire studio would definitely bring them to blows with Sony, who's seen a lot of support with the Persona series, and then of course Microsoft buying them could be the first step to gain a better foothold in Japan for the One.

If Nintendo wants them, more than likely a behind the scenes deal while discussing SMT x FE will happen. Given the reception to Monolith Soft and "X", I can imagine someone in their stables must be considering it or even pushing for it in the event Atlus needs the rescue.

Really need the multiple answer option. Mega Man X, both Oracle games, Project X for me. Wish the discount counted towards Super Ghouls and Ghost but oh well. Hot week.

YES. Right down the road from me!

Dang.... now I actually wanna buy it.

@smileisles Batgirl is after Lobo.Pretty sure it's the Barbara Gordon version, then Zod, and finally Scorpion.

@evanescent_hero @chucknorrmis Two other perfectly good reasons to look forward to this game.

Considering the recent run of games that aim for the hundred thousand range, 1.5 million seems.....peculiar. Heck, the Ouya didn't even ask for that much and that's a game system.

I support this wholeheartedly. I need some RPG love on this system.

There have been a decent number of good Joker voices. Jeff Bennet's version from Batman Brave and the Bold and John DiMaggio from Batman Under the Red Hood were really good Jokers.

As for Batman, I hope they use Bruce Greenwood.

I feel the same about the DLC issue. The patch I feel will fix these issues. Beyond that, the game has been great. Runs great, looks great, and I'm not seeing the lag people have been complaining about for online matches. To GET to them, yes, but during the process it's been running smooth as silk. And as for the off-tv play, I actually had to fight the wife for the TV (she's neck deep in Mass Effect Trilogy) and that option makes the U version insanely worth it.

@HeatBombastic

Maybe it's the type of pixels. It reminds me a lot of the Battle Network series (one of the reasons I want the game). Just not sure how they would translate to HD televisions. Then again, I am new to the whole HD trend.

This definitely looks like a game made for 3DS. Want.

That said, good lord $200K for Vita?! Are those dev kits that expensive?

@jpfan1989:

Well the original Japanese version was a team of angels (don't think too hard on this) from different tribes based on air, water, and earth, that exhibited some absolutely fantastic racism towards each other which kept them from being a proper team.

Oh, and they power up using marketable trading cards.

Angels and trading cards.

It sounds as bad as you might think.

I checked at Gamestop when I pre-ordered and the clerk told me the Red Son Pack they offered was also for Wii U version. As for the Blackest Night pack (which looks... cheap... in comparison) at Best Buy, I have yet to go into a store and confirm.
