Since when were Nintendo's consoles "traditional" ?

Maybe it's a fingerprint scanner, or better yet — the vitality sensor reincarnate!

Hopefully this will become part of Club Nintendo.

What is this running from right to left madness?

Also, the characters at the bottom kind of creep me out. [shudders]

And I thought I was the only one who made careless mistakes.

For some reason, two of the above links prompt for user authentication. Perhaps this is due to the ".beta" in the urls?

I heard about this last night, terribly upsetting news and I wish his family all the best.

It's breathtaking!

Just got the original S&SASR on Steam last night, so I hope this is a ways off.

Stellar Trailer, but I'll need a demo and review to convince me.

"Pressing a button causes Atreyu to soar upward, while releasing it allows him to descend."

So It's like Game C in Baloon Fight?

Too bad Hudson didn't have a chance to develop this one as well.

The N64 Mario Party games were among the first Console games I owned. I'm really sad to see them go.

@Burning_Spear Same, except I use camera batteries.

@all Also, is the above charger able to charge without removing Nintendo's Wiimote jelly grips?

Edit: @aaronsullivan I had the same problem with my Wii over a year ago. It turned out that my mother board was partially fried (don't use 3rd party GameCube controllers) and I had to send it in for repairs. (a month after the extended warranty expired) XD

My advice: Try plugging it in to a different outlet and see if that makes a difference. At the time, Nintendo also recommended that I leave it unplugged for ten minutes (letting it completely discharge) when it experienced this issue. However, for me turning on the Wii almost always turned into a 15-minuite ritual.

@Kid_A I agree! Aside from a Four Swords Adventures repeat, I really hope to see more portable/console connectivity. I expect we'll either hear about them at E3, or we'll know they're mere mock-ups.

Where's the Wii's equivalent of the 3DS' "Down Later" option when you need it?

Great, more plastic. I wonder if it even works with the Circle Pad Pro expansion. I would have liked it if the stand doubled as another charging cradle.

The new style reminds me of this:

Here's the URL QR if you're impatient.

Really great game, now if only they'd re-release Twisted on the 3DS eShop.

At least it's a few steps up from their other game for Wii.

I still can't wait!

Well that's a relief (I'm a leftie as well). I just wish the other circle pad could be used for camera control.

Is that a Wiimote and Nunchuck in his hands?

Very logical and unified. . . I like it!

Now all they need is to merge the home, hand-held, and Club accounts into one massive shop. Think about it, you could buy a Wii U game on your 3DS, and it would be downloaded and waiting for you when you got home! . . . and if you don't own a Wii U, you could browse the titles, but they would appear greyed-out until you linked a Wii U to your Nintendo account. (and vice-versa)

What a Looooong read. _{I nearly fell asleep} Good article nonetheless.

I knew this was going to be bad the moment I watched the trailer.

I'm a little late posting this (I know), but I'd just like to say thanks to all the staff for all the hard work they do each and every day to keep this site up and running.

Keep it up guys!

If it's not coming to a Nintendo console, I'm skipping this and it's predecessor. >

Considering I got this as part of the Humble Indie Bundle 3, I'm not itching to get it again. Fantastic game though, and I'd like to see more of this retro candy in the eShop in Future.

If Club Nintendo were to make this a temporary reward, I'd definitely pick this up again!

I was just wondering about this yesterday.
Oh well, I won't be getting this immediately. I want to see how Sonic the Hedgehog 4 (all episodes) pans out before making any decisions.

Let's see:

Super Mario 3D Land
Mario Kart 7
Sonic Colors
and an IOU for Rhythm Heaven Fever

Not too shabby

Merry Christmas!!! to all and to all a good night!

A bit pricy. . . . I'm glad I got the Humble Indie Bundle 3, so I won't be getting this. _{(I just finished it a few weeks ago)}

I think I'll pass on this one thank you.

I haven't even seen this game in stores.

I REALLY like the use of QR codes for accessing games in the eShop. We need more of that kind of thing here

I thought I'd already read this review in the Retro section, but I guess I was wrong. Great game nonetheless!

I knew this one was trouble the moment I laid eyes on the trailer.

@Raptor78 I'm grad I'm not the only one who noticed this. I played through my retail copy of Minish Cap earlier in the year, and compared to the Ambassador version, the retail copy is crystal-clear. I blame this on a lower sound bit-rate, to which I'd gladly surrender 50-100 additional blocks per game. . . . but I guess it's good for free.

So that's where the Kid Icarus trailer went.

@Mr_Reece Good thing I'm in the US then!

I can't wait for this one. With the new price it'll probably be a day-one purchase for me.

@James ". . . collaboration between Nintendo's Entertainment Analysis and Development Division and Retor:"

Shouldn't that be "Retro".

All I can say is, "Keep em commin!"

and I thought I'd seen it all.

Strange, they're down again, but you can still get at the club via google's rewards catalog link.

Suddenly, Grill-Off With Ultra-hand doesn't seem like such a good deal.
_{Good thing I didn't get it.}

YES!!! Here's to more integration with the online shops!

Meh dual-analoging is okay, but everyone knows dual D-pads are the way to go. I was hoping the add-on could double as an expansion for the 3DS' battery.

Side note: The article mentions both AAA and AA batteries. Which type is it?
