Thanks. I just wasn't sure there for a minute. 😊

@BispoSnake
As far as I know it's been fixed with an update for F zero x

@thesilverbrick
Does a Wii VC game that you upgrade also stay on the Wii?

@thesilverbrick @eSocrates
I never transferred my Wii VC games to Wii u. I'm really glad I never did.

@PlywoodStick
Your a disgrace.

I might buy SMB3 for 3.49euro.

I downloaded it last night along with Pikmin 2. I'm looking forward to playing it very soon. Maybe tonight.

@Damo
I wouldn't say the Saturn marked the beginning of Sega's downfall. The Sega CD and 32X are the culprits. But you are right, Sega were massive.

If people thought the Wii u was confusing. 😵

I bought A Link to the Past back in the day, brand new for £30 in Dunnes stores hardware. I remember having the map spread across my bed as I tried to get from place to place in the game.

Without a shadow of a doubt, one of the greatest memories and times I've had as a gamer.

@Moms-Meowth
Why don't you buy a decent console then if you want to play 3rd party games and stop playing the victim.

@Moms-Meowth
"Devi always lie". How old are you? 3 1/2

I think the console is secondary. It's about the games.

I got my 8gb white console brand new in May 2013 from Amazon for £150 which cost me €188 so I can't complain.

@sandman89
What lies is that?

@Joeynator3000
Your only stopping caring now?

I did think this might happen. Personally I couldn't care less. It wasn't even on my radar.

I don't put blind faith into a game made by a team who used to work somewhere else. I got Rare replay recently and I've barely touched it and it only cost me €12.

Nintendo Europe are on a three week VC roll. F Zero X update, Excitebike 64 and now Pikmin 2. Will it continue for a fourth week?

@IceClimbers
I be thinking €18

Pikmin 2 is very tempting. I had the opportunity to buy it brand new on eBay a few years ago for €20 and unfortunately didn't, now it's up to impossible to get and costs about €100.

I would have bought it at the time if I had played Pikmin 1 with New Play Controls as I didn't realise how well it works with Wii.

@GoldenGamer88
Good luck trying to get it cheaper.

I can only see the revelance of the VC in having games that are almost impossible to get otherwise. When the Wii VC was announced it was so exciting because it was a chance to play games because I either had sold my SNES or my N64 was broken.

I don't need Wii games or GameCube games on VC because I still have them and even though I have a GameCube the Wii plays them.

I don't see the crazy demand for GameCube VC that others do. If anyone here is expecting GameCube games to be cheap, if they do eventually come to VC, be prepared to be seriously disappointed.

While I have zero interest in mobile gaming, I think it's a good move to pay once and get a full game.

I think it's a pretty good idea. Don't know about the list of songs.

I've only seen the Jimmy Fallon show a few times and I think he's quite good. This however just looks wrong, having Regge on the show!

It's looks very corporate. I wonder how much Nintendo had to pay.

And now we'll take an add break from the add. 😳

@Lucina
I understand exactly what your saying. Don't let them get you down. This site has gone downhill.

You little ripper 😁 Excitebike 64

Nice. I'm going to download this today.

@Grumblevolcano
There were updates to some Wii VC games in the past, but you had to go into the Wii shop channel to see them.

They must be promised a lot of units when they are advertising like that. I'm in no panic at all. I've a hacked Wii that plays all the NES games.

Guess how many NES games I played so far this year? Zero.

The biggest problem I see with Switch is; Nintendo are not only trying to cater for casual and core gamers, but now added into the mix is portable and home gaming.

I'm losing interest fast.

@gatorboi352
Sorry. It won't happen again. 🖕

I don't think Nintendo view themselves the way Sony and M$ View themselves. Nintendo are a company that hit the big time in the 80s/90s but they still behave like a small business.

They are very cautious in their approach, but they are making money. I think Nintendo have some of the smartest business minds out there. They have strict rules and they follow them. I am not surprised Nintendo didn't invest heavily in this project. I'd be more surprised if they did. We will get a Classic mini when we get one.

@lbs
I'd also like to see Excitebike 64 get an eu release. Ya know Nintendo, it could be next week, or it could be 12 months time.

Nintendo offer so little for so much.

I was hoping for some VC discounts. Theres not a lot there, is there?

@Beau_Skunk
Sorry mate I totally got my reply to your comment backwards.

I never bought it and I'm not going to. I looked at gameplay videos on YouTube and it's not for me. It's not the kind of game I'm looking for.

I'm not buying a Switch to play Wii u ports. I know Nintendo have the capability to make great games but they are few and far between. I think I'll wait 4 years and maybe get a Switch then.

Fair play to them. I wish I had the foresight to buy a few. I could have made a few pound. 🤑

@EverythingAmiibo
Yeah I can understand that. If you want to sell something that is yours and make a profit, it's ok, but if someone else does, it is not. 🤔

I'll check it out Friday.

@bolt05
Nintendo are not going to put Mario and Zelda in the same releases window. That would be silly.

I don't see a reason to buy a Nintendo Switch since I won't be re-buying any games that I already own on Wii u. One thing I really hope is the new 3D Mario game is in the same vain as 64 and Sunshine.

As far as I'm concerned if the new 3D Mario game isn't the greatest game ever, Nintendo are finished.

I think the fact that they are still available on eBay and Amazon at these high prices shows they are not selling. People are entitled to sell anything they want at an asking price they want. It's called freedom.

@Allspice
Just because you don't like something doesn't mean it should be illegal.

I'm not seeing any bargains there tbh. A Wii u is not worth £250/€300 and I don't care what game comes with it. Consumers are not stupid. This is where Nintendo are messing up.

You'd imagine Nintendo would have a big push to shift Wii u consoles since it's the last Christmas. There could be deals yet. I think it's worth buying one if you haven't already, but not at these prices.

@HappyMaskedGuy
That's a very narrow minded comment. I don't like Fifa or GTA and I'm certainly am not part of any lad culture gaming. I like what I like but I like Nintendo most. Gran Turismo should not be said in the same breath as Fifa and GTA.

Gran Turismo is a lot like Nintendo. Polyphony Digital strive for nothing short of perfection in their GT games.

One of my favourite games series is Gran Turismo. I'll get Project cars soon but I doubt it's in the same league as GT.

Unfortunately I don't think it'd do well on a Nintendo console. It probably works better with a steering wheel. Sim racers are a genre that are for a specific type of gamer. Even Forza is not really a sim it's a bit more arcade and we can see it's really popular. Sim racers are not as popular as they should be.

Another problem with sim racers is they can get bad review scores. Just look at some of the bad scores GT6 got and it's one of (if not) the best racing games of all time.

Unfortunately Nintendo gamers, or some of them want pick up and play games.

Splatoon is probably the only first party game I didn't buy on Wii u. I didn't like the demo.

I can't help but always think what would the gaming landscape be like had M$ not entered the race. I feel Nintendo would be in a much stronger position and they would be going head to head with Sony.

The GameCube might have been more successful. That was the turning point for Nintendo. A lot of 'what ifs'. Either way M$ changed the gaming landscape forever.

I loved the original Xbox. I hated the 360 and sold it, twice. Last week event though I'd only bought a PS4 three weeks earlier, I ended up buying an Xbox one elite in Argos for £200. Went across the border to Newry for it as they were all sold out in the republic.

Have to say I like it and the elite controller is very good. I then bought the Xbox one s controller a couple of days ago. I don't like it it feels cheap. I'm not impressed.

I think what I didn't like about the 360 was it was like a fan heater and you were just waiting for it to blow.

The One is a much better console and reminds me of the original Xbox. The bonus is, it can also play 360 games that I missed and you can buy them in CEX for nothing.

@SanderEvers
I currently have; PS2, PS3, PS4, GameCube, Wii, Wii u and Xbox one. It's insane.

Now your 'not' playing with power. 😁 I'm regretting cancelling my pre order with Amazon. I want one now. I don't mind once I get one eventually.

BOTW is also available on Wii u so it won't have the impact on sales it would have if it were a Switch exclusive. I'll be getting BOTW on Wii u, put it that way.

The quality and type of exclusive Switch games will help me decide if I buy a Switch.

@Menchi187
Wait till Black Friday. It'll be all 'Prime early access', 'Prime exclusive'. It's becoming a bit of a sham really.

@PlywoodStick
Im not buying the conspiracy theory you are selling.

Do you not think there is a more logical reason why stock is low? Like Nintendo are not going to ramp production up to the max only to have to cease production very soon afterwards?

The NES mini is not a major hardware release that will demand opening factories and hiring thousands of workers.
