EU and JPN are look-wise pretty much the same... If I were to get another from a different region I'd surely go for the US one.
Sure the JPN has a cool box but it also has games in Japanese which I can't read and ultimately wouldn't play. Also I kind find the US cool looking especially because it has 2 buttons depressed.
In my opinion having played the games in the original hardware at the time I always thought the games as poor. It was Playstation poor man's Mario64: not real 3D, poor controls, constricted, short, un-original and lacking depth. So I find the recent trilogy success puzzling. Nostalgia lenses? Lack of platforms on PS4? It just puzzles me. Having said that, a Switch would be good as it seems people enjoy the game and would serve as a (poor) alternative to SMO.
@Mart1ndo Megadrive's Virtua Racing is leaps and bounds looks better than any SNES 3D game. I remember it coming in a rather huge cart at costing almost twice the price of other MD games. Nevertheless it was a huge deal at the time bringing the arcade gameplay in a awesome looking port.
@SanderEvers And the quests just become listed in the Adventure Log as soon as you launch the DLC or do you need to hunt the NPC that triggers the quest? (I'll only be able to play the game in a few hours)
[rant]Back in 16-bit era I played 480x320 resolution or something and didn't complain. What matters is the nature of the game (lasting appeal and gameplay) not pretty graphics. People just get all pumped-up with graphics. If the point is pretty graphics I'd prefer watching a movie like Avatar or something.[/rant]
Things that excite me about WiiU (ordered from most to least:
new controller (loads of potential)
renewed third parties support
compatibility with Wii (both discs and controllers)
HD support
A poll or article about this would be nice (if not done yet)
Honestly why are people so obsessed with HD? HD only implies an higher resolution to what Wii is offering right now. Maybe it's just me but I can't understand why people go crazy about HD.
It seems people only care about HD and don't realize that the "real game" is not resolution or graphic.
WiiU aside from HD will bring better texturing, a new controller and hopefully more support from third parties.
To my mind Wii is only missing more support from third parties (why I don't care as I prefer Nintendo's franchises). Wii is an unique system and I for one won't buy a WiiU in the next 3-4 years.

Re: Rumour: Keymailer Lists Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy for the Switch
@MrGawain can't agree more: the character is lovely but the games were so crappy.

Re: The SNES Classic Mini Uses the Same Hardware as the NES Mini
All the better as this means that NES Mini stock will be easier to get. Those looking to hack it will surely appreciate also.
Re: Video: Hands On in Super Mario Odyssey's Shiny New Kingdoms
Until the Switch I never bought a console day one and to this day never pre-ordered a game in my life.
I need to resist it: reviews first then decision, reviews first then decision, reviews first them decision...
