@HeroOfCybertron Well GameStop is notorious for ignoring suggested retail - look at Disney Magical World - a $30 game they are selling new for $35 and used for $30 - crooks
Already pre-ordered - my 9th 3DS system - really dig this pure white look - not sure if I'll buy the game - I think I will (only $30 for this one). I wonder how limited these will end up being as a Walmart exclusive system.
Wow - here comes my 9th 3DS system! - I thought April was going to be a safe month - fully expecting a Kirby system in May!! - "gotta catch em' all ... 3DS!"
In times of droughts - why not go hog wild with your Virtual Console! The one person spending their time doing VC needs to be expanded to a team to make that service sing!
Where the heck is A Link to the Past and Super Mario Bros. 3!
What the heck is going on over there at NOA - A Link to the Past was released many weeks ago in Europe and Mario 3 was announced as a 2013 release in a Nintendo direct
@Silver_August don't mean to offend - 3DS games look like crap unless you are looking at it on the actual system - this is true for most 3DS games - not trying to bash you or say your opinion is invalid - just stating a pretty well known fact about the look of games on the 3DS and how looking at it on the device is a very different thing.
@Silver_August Having played the game to completion I can tell you it is one of the prettiest 3DS games out there - especially with 3D turned on - it is right up there with Monster Hunter 4 - don't bash what you haven't played in person. 3DS screen caps/videos never do the game justice on your big computer monitor
I put my preorder in already - really huge fan of this year of luigi gear - 1500 coins was quite a bit and I wish this was the platinum reward, but am really excited to get this come March
Nintendo advertises the Wii U? That's news to me! Wii Fit U is a major opportunity as was the Wind Waker bundle and price drop - but NOTHING! It needs to have ad money to get the results they want!
@unrandomsam Sure they may make money but if EA wants their Nintendo titles to go gang busters they have to actually put in work to release games that everyone must have! They haven't done that in a long time for any Nintendo console
It's in front of my couch ready for use as I continue to use Wii Fit on my Wii U for the free step - I use it about 90 minutes every night - can't wait for the Wii U version to come out
Yea I am getting this! - Expensive year for 3DS hardware for me - got my original red XL, the Japan import Luigi XL, the Blue Pokemon XL and now the Zelda XL (which will just be part of the collection), will continue using the XY as my main go to system. I'm hoping it will be a download code so I can install it on my XY XL.
I heard there is an amazing syncing feature with the Wii U version - and they talk - TechCrunch did a wonderful post on the thought that went into this release!
@CrimsonSkidmark the retail store situation is a terrible one - they should really invest some money in more retail stores - currently there is the Nintendo World Store in NYC - they need to do more of that - 1 per state at least. Apple is in a large part as popular as it is today because of those stores and getting their clear message out to the masses through those.
Nintendo needs to do what Apple did when their message about their hardware and software was being confused at the retail stores - make their own retail stores.
That is something I feel this company needs to do to get back in the mindshare of Americans - BestBuy and other outlets just crap all over the Nintendo area of their stores with shoddy displays and product sitting in the back room
It would be amazing if Nintendo's eShop had a way to do price matching like BestBuy does here in the states. More competitive retail pricing would be another way to approach it $40 or $50 launch prices are nice to have
No one can really spoil a Pokemon game - its not a game that has too much plot and I don't really care if I know what evolutions or Pokemon look like before I start the game
Already redeemed Super Mario Kart - never played this and looking forward to it - sad that Zelda isn't for Wii U or Wii as I already have this on my 3DS
$20 for Wii Fit U and the Activity Monitor!!!! YES!!! - So excited - will be getting this day one - just started getting into the original Wii Fit and it is a great app
Nintendo has fantastic products, games and experiences. Their marketing department is where they need to double up on. The products themselves are GREAT. Not enough people know they are still the best in the business.
Woohoo Super Mario Bros. on the Wii U!!! - Super Mario. Bros 3 is due out in a month or two - finally the whole quadrilogy of games on the Wii U - so awesome

I could of sworn that Tomodachi is $34.99 here in the states ... am I wrong?
Re: Matters of Import: Grappling With Attack On Titan: The Last Wings Of Mankind
@Chipman It is very much full Japanese - there is occasional English for how your attack did "Good" etc.
It was very playable for someone with limited Japanese - there was only one part that I got held up at - I figured it out eventually

Kirby Triple Deluxe for me - 91 percent complete on my save file - hoping to drive that up another 5 percent at least

Re: Matters of Import: Grappling With Attack On Titan: The Last Wings Of Mankind
I bought this game for my Japanese 3DS LL last week. Truly fantastic - so thrilling taking down Titans.
Rather expensive now - around $60 - blows my mind that in Japan 3DS game prices range so much including home console prices.
Re: Nintendo Download: 26th December (North America)
Where the heck is SMB3 and A Link to the Past - already got SMB3 on my Japanese 3DS LL - would love to have that on my main USA one

Re: EA's Financial Figures Reveal Dismal Wii U Software Sales
You need to actually release games to have folks buy your stuff - legacy editions aren't going to sell

Re: Club Nintendo Rewards are Updated for October
Already redeemed Super Mario Kart - never played this and looking forward to it - sad that Zelda isn't for Wii U or Wii as I already have this on my 3DS
Re: Review: Pokémon X & Y (3DS)
@XCWarrior Didn't think you could spoil a Pokemon game they are all basically the same formula - it's like spoiling the plot of a Mario game
Re: Review: Pokémon X & Y (3DS)
Is online play going to be a part of this game - no mention of it ... (Can't wait to get this on the eShop at its midnight release)
Re: Out Now: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD

Re: Nintendo Download: 3rd October (Europe)
Is that trilogy of games going to be available in a discounted bundle?
Re: Out Now: Pokémon X & Y 3DS XL Models Arrive in North America and PAL Regions
They would have needed 4 bundles if the games was included because of x and y. I picked up the blue one the glossy finish is rather remarkable.
