Lifelong Nintendo fan here. I just had my preorder cancelled by Walmart. I only ordered 1 despite 2 being the limit. I'm not a scalper. It was just for me and my son. Something for us to spend time together doing that is something from my childhood that I'd be able to share with him.

I completely missed on getting a NES Classic. Yeah, I could've paid a reseller more than retail anytime for one, but I thought Nintendo would keep up with demand for it. I've had to give up on the idea of sharing that with my son the first time around. For me, the SNES Classic order completely erased those hard feelings of us never getting a NES Classic.

I don't get to hang out on a website all day to see if it'll come back in stock. I managed to get a preorder for the SNES Classic by fluke in the first place, the one time each day I'd check for it, it showed up. Now, I doubt we'll be getting one at all. I'm not paying more than retail for one.

Well, there goes Christmas. Whoever's idea it was to cancel the SNES Classic order I chanced into getting for my family. Thanks a lot Nintendo for pressuring Walmart without thinking of families like ours that missed out and thanks for nothing Walmart for giving hope to families like ours and then taking it away.

Despite being an Android user, I'm not miffed about Super Mario Run releasing for iOS first.

I think the price point is an important thing to focus on though. It's fantastic that they won't be going the microtransaction route, but they shouldn't attempt to release it at Nintendo digital pricing either if they want initial high market penetration. It's really only a taste of Nintendo's full fledged offerings after all.

If the goal is to get the mobile phone market interested in Nintendo IPs and Nintendo dedicated hardware with these games, it'd be smart to release SMR at an introductory price and increase the price after the initial surge in sales I'd think.

As for the game itself, it seems a bit cramped. I wonder if you can play landscape mode?

I don't really mind that RCMADIAX puts out a steady stream of titles. Obviously, someone out there is buying these games or they wouldn't release games the way they do.

I just wish there was a way to filter out their games when I look through sale pages, like a block publisher option or something for me would be super welcome. So many of their games are constantly on sale all the time, I hate wading through all that stuff when I'm looking for games I'd actually consider buying.

@Tsuchinoko I was thinking this exact same thing as I was reading the article. It hasn't been released there yet.

People don't trust SEGA or Sonic Team to make good Sonic games anymore and for good reason.

They should just create a Mario Maker clone for 2D Sonic fans, call it Sonic Studio. Give it the ability to change camera angles and allow the ability to swap between sprites and rendered models, but keep movement 2D.

Let the community make their own games and a lot of them will play more and complain less.

Aw, I was actually really interested in this product. I thought it was going to connect via Bluetooth. I don't have a micro USB port on my current phone. Maybe in the final version.

Wish I knew about this at the beginning of the month when it was on sale. I just assumed it was a crappy Minecraft clone, but for 3DS. I'll definitely pick it up next time it's on sale.

Here's an idea, put a D-Pad on the backside of that cart.

That's sad, I really liked Disney Infinity. It might be a good time for Nintendo to pick up Avalanche employees to create some Amiibo compatible titles for Wii U, 3DS, Android, iOS, and NX though. It's not like they don't have good cross platform developing experience. Anything to continue bolstering Nintendo's cash cow Amiibo line would be a solid idea to keep investors happy too.

Looks about as fun as playing on a graphing calculator.

I disagree about Nintendo shamelessly exploiting their IP, but I can agree with Nintendo perhaps loosening it's control to allow local entities like NoA and NoE to have final say on partnerships and producing shows and movies released in their respective territories since what's culturally relevant in Japan isn't necessarily true in America or Europe.

Bummer, was hoping for an indie game I haven't bought. I already have those newly added games too. Still, I don't regret plunking down $13 even though I've given away over 90% of the bundle to other people. The 3DS theme is still pretty sweet.

I saw this yesterday. It's a really beautiful tribute.

I'm sold, trailer reminds me of Metal Slug except faster paced. As for Two Tribes retirement, I agree, the only way to go out is with a bang, so for all our sakes, I hope they do themselves proud.

I still check in on this game everyday and always treat visitors to my islands like they're royalty. That said, I often feel like I'm the only person here that plays this game. I rarely ever hear back from kids I've sent out to travel the world. It's just not popular where I live.

Awesome news! First, there was confirmation of MissingNo. and they put in PokeBank support for R/B/Y which tripled the amount of money I was planning on spending tomorrow. Sun and Moon was announced to be a new region too? I'd bet it's based in China.

Kusakari = Mowing

That makes this: The Legend of Mowing

I wonder if Kusanagi no Tsurugi will make an appearance in this game or in the story.

If this were a black unit, I'd buy it, no doubt about it. White units just don't go well with most cover plates. No sense in downgrading to a New 3DS and have the majority of cover plates not match well with it.

I'd be interested in purchasing it if it's reasonably priced. After all, I'd like to see how good this game really is since I voted for it over Ocarina of Time as best game of all time.

I'd buy it on the day it comes out. I'll never ever support a Kickstarter campaign.

This shouldn't come to a surprise to anyone. There's not enough exclusive games to entice casual players to invest in a New 3DS. Anyone that has bought Nintendo machines should know, they'll never bother to actually fully throw their support behind incremental changes in their hardware as they'll always need to cater to the larger install base.

C'mon Capcom, there's still time to release Mega Man Maker!

I'll buy it day one like I do with all RK releases, but honestly it's bound to sell a whole lot better if it's not released at such a high price point.

I remember reading the same issue mentioned here in the Wii Virtual Console review of Mario Kart 64 nine years ago! Wow, I feel old.

I'm willing to cut everyone some slack this time, but how can it take this long for anyone to mention the Cactuar!

It looks decent enough. The Steam version is $3. I'll probably pick it up for Wii U when it's on sale since it'll probably release at a stupidly high price point like $10-15 or something like other mobile to Wii U conversions. I'll grab it if/when it's reasonably priced.

Their headphones average about 3.5/5 on Amazon, most say the sound and comfort are good, but they break easily. All of their headphones cost around $25, but for some reason, the Mega Man set costs 4x more, I know it has LED, but 4x more? They also have other licensed products too like various Harvest Moon headphones and a Darkstalkers Felicia headphone.

How does Space Cadet Pinball run?

On eShop, at $15, the pricing on it is waaaay too high and this is coming from someone that has supported and bought every RK released game. It's an enhanced DS release. It'll probably do as great as other games when it reaches the sub $8 mark on sale and probably should've been released at around that price.

Tingle is known as Tincle in Japan. Tingle basically cosplayed as a forest spirit. I think Linkle is Female Tingle. She is possibly cosplaying as Link. Perhaps she's Tingle's sister.

I wouldn't mind a Legendary Heroine Linkle game. Maybe she could have ubsurd emotional powers like Super Princess Peach.

Besides the charity thing, the one from Rose Colored Gaming was better. I wish I didn't hesitate buying that one when I saw it.

Thanks for the heads up! I just pre-ordered mine. I spent a bit of time looking around for other things to buy to qualify for free shipping, but it doesn't work on pre-orders, oh well. $9 for basic shipping it is.

They're also releasing a Lucas Amiibo too. I still think it'd be totally cool if they released this English in the West and dedicated it to the late great Satoru Iwata. What I mentioned in another post somewhere was that it'd be cool if Nintendo donated proceeds of releases Mr. Iwata worked on to Cancer awareness and research through the end of the year. He did help with the original Pokemon games too if I remember correctly.

@Rockmin: I think screwed is a bit harsh. I didn't see anything really all that special besides the nifty box. They gave away pins at events. The plush is available at Toys R Us. Mario hats are probably on clearance now that Halloween is over. That Amiibo is not difficult to find. Only thing would be the shirt and really, it's not clever, you could make something better in a few minutes on Zazzle and a slogan that might rhyme at least. Like, "Saving Lives since '85"

No compatibility with newer Pokemon games or Pokemon Bank? Will I at least be able to trade to myself if I have all three VC releases downloaded on one system? I never caught MissingNo as a kid for fear of ruining my original red version cartridge.

What I'd want to see: A fully translated Wii U/3DS Virtual Console release of Mother 3/EarthBound 2 in memory of Satoru Iwata where it and proceeds of all Nintendo eShop releases he's had a hand in developing will be donated in his name to Cancer research and awareness until the end of the year.

Yeah, that'd be nice.

I'd be more interested to know the percentage of gamers that mainly use and customizable female avatars vs their gender distribution. Anecdotally, I've encountered more than a few fellow male gamers that prefer to use female avatars in games where they are allowed to choose gender and found that mildly interesting.

That's it? Not even a simple LCD game programmed in? Pass.

I bought one. Thanks for the heads up!

I think that Mario Maker pattern looks fantastic, but I'd want it on a New XL. I'd even gladly buy another New XL if they release it in the US.

I prefer the Nintendo costumes actually, but I think censorship for a game aimed at adults is unnecessary.

There's really no reason the extra costumes couldn't be unlockable by scanning Amiibo. With a place full of ghosts, I'd want to control Pac-man or Luigi instead.

Remember guys, there's nothing scarier than the female form. What a bunch of nonsense.

I'm personally not a fan of this trend and really wish this was an option to begin with since I prefer physical releases, but it's great news to those who haven't already played games from Renegade Kid. I'm sure it'll be well worth the asking price.

I'm not going to purchase this as I've already purchased every single RK game at release ever since Dementium for the Nintendo DS. I have no need for a compilation cart also.

I want Disney/Capcom's Scrooge McDuck in the game! Pogo hop and club swings!

This is what reads on the mobile version.

No reason to believe it wouldn't also apply to 3DS version despite the terms under the info tab not being updated yet to reflect the same message.

I don't understand why anyone playing Shuffle would be upset about the hacking for the current competitions except for those top players who battle for the top spot every competition not being able to see their scores. Those manipulated scores are definitely getting disqualified, there's even a line about getting disqualified for utilising unauthorized save data in the competition info itself. Let the hackers waste their time with this stupid stunt. The mobile versions will be easy enough to fix and they're just going to end up causing Nintendo to close the homebrew loophole they're currently exploiting on the 3DS.

Hey, I actually watched this show as a child! I'd gladly support it with a purchase if it ever was released in the States.

I'd be interested if it can write to the actual Amiibo figures. I already have one of each released in my region and I'd only be interested in being able to back up my data or taking it along when I'm traveling..., of course, Nintendo could also just release the ability to back up data onto the Wii U/New 3DS XL and I'd be just as happy without one.

Haven't played it yet, but I'm struggling to remember any game, movie, or tv show that's ever felt satisfying with a cliffhanger ending. ...nope, can't think of any.

He's responsible for getting himself fired. It's very likely a combination of NDA and code of conduct violation. When you talk about internal workings, you also represent the company and the best interests of the company. His explanations can be interpreted as damaging the Nintendo of America brand. It has at least in my eyes.

The gist of it was "Nintendo of America doesn't care what the hardcore audience wants. If it's niche, unless some other entity fits the bill for it, don't hold your breath on it being released for the US. We don't make enough money from it." Which is BS because other, smaller companies localize niche games and somehow stay in business.

It's really hard not to feel bad for the guy, considering he's a shortsighted moron. If talking about things your company wouldn't want you to divulge got you fired in the first place, what's the sense in going on social media and announcing to the world that you've been fired too? Should've just learned the first time and kept your mouth shut.

A quick Google search will probably now be enough to deter most employers from hiring this guy. If I searched "Chris Pranger" and saw all this, I very likely wouldn't hire him. Wouldn't be worth all the trouble.

Also, on topic of whether he deserved to be fired, it's almost certainly yes. Besides NDAs, there aren't any companies I know of that would want to remind their customers that they're there to maximize profits over their wants, it hurts the image of the company.
