Some people would say it's not piracy if one owns the Japanese game, but I don't think one should buy a Japanese game if one intends to play it in English.
I searched Amazon for my favorite books and found that none of them support Kindle Unlimited. AKA why I will never switch to ebooks. But the issues that surround game pricing worry me too.
I have a serious question. What is the "free Immortal Dragon Relic Present Code?" I don't suppose you have it yet, but surely your time with the game has given you an idea on what to expect.
I would like to point out that this virtual console release is probably missing the Mona Pizza music video. It was originally unlocked by putting WarioWare Twisted in the GBA slot of the DS.
@rjejr I don't like the 20 year old graphics of this game or shovel knight. I would love it if they looked like 10 year old pixels, but I do enjoy the games in spite of their appearances.
This review brings back some memories. I have to say I was expecting little more than complaints of how different this game is followed by a low score. Such a review would not be entirely unwarranted, but your level of detail is much more appreciated.
I've played one of these games in Spanish and found the translation to be quite poor. Most everything uses the American English names, including Butz, Oldbag, and Lotta Hart. The jokes are meaningless to Spanish speakers. D: Though given the choice between this and English, I think people would prefer their native language.

Re: The Official Legend of Zelda Timeline Has Been Updated
@Rutana The Zoras in Oracle of Ages live in the sea.
Re: The Official Legend of Zelda Timeline Has Been Updated
@Squidling Where has that been confirmed? Does this source say whether they take place before or after the NES games?
Re: Review: Petit Novel series - Harvest December (3DS eShop)
@swagkitchen I've been wondering the same things. I found a website called Brash Games that has a bit more detail in its review.

Re: Review: Beatbuddy: Tale of the Guardians (Wii U eShop)
I had this game on PC. I quit playing when the framerate suddenly dropped to impossible levels.
Re: Review: Santa Factory (Wii U eShop)
@TheChosen Is this game Finnish, then?
Re: Video: Catch Up With a Zero Escape Volume 3 Panel from AX 2015
The original quote did not say the game takes place on Mars. They said it's set in a test facility.
Re: The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes Promises a Lot of Content and Playtime
I think I will buy this, but no 2-player option is disappointing.
Re: First Impressions: Linking Up in The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes
This sounds very much like the original Four Swords.
Re: Hyrule Warriors Legends Features All The DLC Of The Wii U Version, Plus Wind Waker Content
Well I'm glad I didn't get the WiiU game.
Re: Review: Big Brain Academy (Wii U eShop / DS)
I did like this more than Brain Age.
Re: Dark Half Is A Twisted SNES JRPG From The Makers Of Wonder Boy, And It Now Has An English Translation
Some people would say it's not piracy if one owns the Japanese game, but I don't think one should buy a Japanese game if one intends to play it in English.
Re: Wii U Stretch Goal Seemingly Teased for Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night
Pledging now and dropping out later sounds like a waste of effort. I would rather they confirm the WiiU before I do anything.
Re: Editorial: The eShop's Pricing Dilemma is the Fault of Many, But Damages Creativity and Risk Taking
I searched Amazon for my favorite books and found that none of them support Kindle Unlimited. AKA why I will never switch to ebooks.
But the issues that surround game pricing worry me too.
Re: Review: Bloo Kid 2 (3DS eShop)
@TulipWaltz Yeah, it probably is.
Re: Review: Bloo Kid 2 (3DS eShop)
I think I'm too stingy to buy this. Even counting the fee to remove ads, this is twice the price of the mobile version.
Re: Review: Puzzle & Dragons Z + Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition (3DS)
This game's price is comparable to that of every other 3DS game as well as Puzzle Quest's launch price. I don't see the problem here.

I have a serious question. What is the "free Immortal Dragon Relic Present Code?" I don't suppose you have it yet, but surely your time with the game has given you an idea on what to expect.
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles X Paid-DLC Details Emerge With Characters, Quests and Skell Unlocks
I think I will need to know more about the game before I can judge the DLC.
Re: Review: Donkey Kong 64 (Wii U eShop / Nintendo 64)
Is this review the same as the previous one?
Re: This Rodea the Sky Soldier Special Edition is Rather Lovely
Yes, I'm tempted.
Re: Review: WarioWare Touched! (Wii U eShop / DS)
I would like to point out that this virtual console release is probably missing the Mona Pizza music video. It was originally unlocked by putting WarioWare Twisted in the GBA slot of the DS.
Re: Review: Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures (Wii U eShop)
@copeland4 It would be convenient if every game had its rating included in the nlife game overview.
@TwilightAngel It's from the Nerd's videos.
Re: The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth Developers Talk About its Long eShop Approval Process and Why it's Not Coming to the Original 3DS
This game has DLC?
Re: Review: Story of Seasons (3DS)
Why did this get a lower score than A New Beginning?
Re: Gallery: These Artistic Recreations of Women Characters Set a Different Tone
Those who haven't should check out the original article; the Storm redesign is fabulous.
Re: Monster Tale on Its Way to the 3DS eShop in a New 'Ultimate' Version
I hope they make it easier to unlock dark chomp.
Re: Etrian Odyssey Untold 2 Delivers an Artful Launch Edition
I just checked my IV and Millennium Girl booklets and they have half as many pages.
Re: Elliot Quest Developer Talks About a 3DS Port
Well I'm not going to buy it twice, so no. But I'm sure others would love it.
Re: Review: Elliot Quest (Wii U eShop)
Is this any different from the PC version?
@rjejr I don't like the 20 year old graphics of this game or shovel knight. I would love it if they looked like 10 year old pixels, but I do enjoy the games in spite of their appearances.
Re: Gallery: Nintendo Celebrates Women's History Month In Its Own Unique Way
Toadette hasn't done anything worth celebrating.
Re: Square Enix's Failed Attempt At Combining Games And Anime Is Getting Pulled From Retail In Japan
The game is good, right? I don't think they would pull it for any reasons other than licensing.
Re: First Screens From Banjo-Kazooie Spiritual Successor Are Revealed, Kickstarter Coming In May
"Apparently the name Halo 5 is taken."
So what? Separate games have shared titles before.
Re: LEGO The Hobbit DLC Trilogy Expansion No Longer Planned for Release
@AugustusOxy I'm not a fan of Tolkien either, but let's not spread misinformation. The Lord of the Rings isn't about World War II.
Re: Etrian Odyssey 2 Untold: The Fafnir Knight Will Be Finding its Way to North American Gamers This Summer
"The whole package is essentially featuring two Etrian games in one, so this is a pretty good deal at $49.99."
The previous game was cheaper.
Re: Weirdness: British Children's TV Channel Gets Its Nintendo History Somewhat Mixed Up
And this whole time I thought Super Mario Bros. was an arcade game (it actually is)!
Re: Harmonix Explains Why Rock Band 4 Isn’t Coming to Wii U, But Doesn't Rule it Out
I think Harmonix hates us.
Re: We Have World War II To Thank For This Insanely Detailed Hand-Written Dragon Quest V Guide
Don't all guides have that kind of information?
Re: Majora's Mask 3D Glitch Unlocks Fierce Deity Link Anywhere
My memories of Majora's Mask are a bit fuzzy. Is there any reason one would want early access to Snowhead Mountain, Great Bay, or Ikana Canyon?
Re: Review: Flap Flap (3DS eShop)
Not to nitpick, but I don't know of any other games like this one for 3DS.
Re: Nintendo Are Releasing Stylish Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Playing Cards In Japan
Those are indeed stylish.
Re: Reaction: Pokémon Shuffle Isn't Quite Microtransaction Hell, But It's Getting There
Just buy Battle Trozei if you don't like microtransactions.
Re: Fairune II is Adventuring Towards the 3DS eShop
I suppose I did enjoy the 1st game.
Re: Gallery: Nintendo Decides That Valentine's Day is Friendship Day
I like the Tetra and Whispy Woods. I think it's a bit weird for friendship to accompany a heart, but perhaps kids think differently.
Re: Club Nintendo Goes Rewards Crazy With Final Update in North America
The site is down now. Which means I can't find out what the rewards are.
Re: Review: Breezeblox (Wii U eShop)
I like the color scheme.
Re: Gallery: Art Academy Masters Produce Award-Winning Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker Drawings
Yeah, KIRU's bronze piece is much nicer than Marina's. I also like a lot of the MariChan choice awards, though I have no idea who she is.
Re: New Exploit Makes The 3DS Region Free Without The Need For A Flashcard Or Game Cart
I agree that this exploit is a bit puzzling. For one thing, the video doesn't say which website to use.
Re: Review: Mario Party Advance (Wii U eShop / Game Boy Advance)
This review brings back some memories. I have to say I was expecting little more than complaints of how different this game is followed by a low score. Such a review would not be entirely unwarranted, but your level of detail is much more appreciated.
Re: Review: Kuru Kuru Kururin (Wii U eShop / Game Boy Advance)
I never realized this got a European release. I only knew it as that thing from Smash Bros.
Re: Review: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy (3DS eShop)
I've played one of these games in Spanish and found the translation to be quite poor. Most everything uses the American English names, including Butz, Oldbag, and Lotta Hart. The jokes are meaningless to Spanish speakers. D: Though given the choice between this and English, I think people would prefer their native language.
