North Americans can't get a gold omochao, UK doesn't get a sonic omochao, and non preorders miss out on an entire stage? I hate it when they keep stuff from us like this! Do other regions even get anything?
@Capt_N Now that you mention it, the Game and Watch Legend of Zelda isn't in Hyrule Historia either. What a shame. Another question I have on the CD-i games is whether they're canon to each other. Few enough people have played them that I'll probably never find out.
Allow me to analyze some of the more interesting statements in this review. "Aiming with the bow or the boomerang in both normal and off-TV play feels natural and responsive." Good. It certainly did not feel natural and responsive on the Gamecube. "Now you can simply find most shards straight away." Unless they changed the locations of the shards, this means they removed the part I liked and kept the part I didn't like.
Uh, my choice isn't on the poll. I DON'T have a need for Pokemon Bank, but I DO think they should be charging for it. If they charged for Pokemon Box and Pokemon Ranch, then this is a no brainer.
This review has made it very clear that the game is meant to be played on harder difficulties, but I would like to know more if anyone can tell me. Exactly how easy can you make the game before you lose all the fun, and how good do you have to be to enjoy it? Judging from the trailer, I'll be playing the game on "abusive" difficulty if I ever get it.
@DerpSandwich Regardless of how much work is being put into it, I think Wind Waker HD is fairly priced. The gamecube version had a similar price and it wasn't any better of a game. The PS3 HD collections are an interesting comparison, but I think those publishers are seriously undervaluing their games.
@DePapier They're called Benjamin Hunter and Dick Tektiv in French Ace Attorney? I played the Spanish Justice for All, and the English names were used for almost every single character. It was lame, and I would have hated it if my English weren't better than my Spanish.

Re: Nintendo Download: 26th September (North America)
@DkFluttershyGuy I would like to see that list.
Re: Review: Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl (3DS)
@slidecage The game is completely rebalanced.
Re: Shantae: Half-Genie Hero Hits Funding Target to Confirm Release
I notice that they changed her skin color back.
Re: Feature: The Weird World of Video Games
You should do this again sometime.

Re: Surprise! Aonuma Doesn't Consider The CD-i Zelda Games To Be Canon, Either
@unrandomsam Well Nintendo at least published those.
Re: You'll Have to Wait Until December to Get a Pokémon Bank Account
I thought this was old news. Either way, I'll be waiting until the app is released before I buy X or Y.
Re: Surprise! Aonuma Doesn't Consider The CD-i Zelda Games To Be Canon, Either
That's not a surprise. I'd rather hear his stance on Tingle's Rupeeland and its sequel, as they were not mentioned in Hyrule Historia either.
Re: First Impressions: Pokémon X & Y
Katy's writeup makes X and Y sound like a virtual pet sim.

Re: Video: Getting To Grips With Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl
I don't care for Japanese audio, but I'm disappointed the cutscenes have no subtitles: another feature that all our DVDs have.
Re: Video: Getting To Grips With Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl
That wasn't a bad video, but I will never be satisfied with pre release information.
Re: Rumour: Wii U New Super Mario Bros. and New Super Luigi U Hardware Bundle Sighted
I would snap up the Mario one in a heartbeat, assuming it's available in my country.
Re: Video Games Live Will Be Releasing Its Third Album After Kickstarter Success
I probably won't get it. I'm only familiar with a fifth of those listed games.
Re: Nintendo Tested Two Other Zelda Titles in HD on the Wii U
Both games can already be played on WiiU, so no, they don't need remakes.
Re: Without iOS Support Nintendo "Doesn’t Reach Today’s Kids" Says Apple Advocate John Gruber
@EaZy_T Nintendo has already released a Pokedex for iOS.
Re: Aonuma Explains His Quest to Have Improved the "Overall Game Flow" of The Wind Waker HD
@DarkKirby I agree.
Re: Aonuma Explains His Quest to Have Improved the "Overall Game Flow" of The Wind Waker HD
It doesn't say what they've done to improve the flow. >_>
Re: StreetPass Relay Issues Reported in North America
I don't take my 3DS anywhere that has streetpass relay.
Re: Poké Transporter Confirmed for X & Y
I will skip X and Y if they charge even one penny for transfers from Black and White.
Re: Nintendo Launching Cloud-Based Pokémon Bank Service Alongside Pokémon X & Y
Uh, my choice isn't on the poll. I DON'T have a need for Pokemon Bank, but I DO think they should be charging for it. If they charged for Pokemon Box and Pokemon Ranch, then this is a no brainer.
Re: New Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy Release Hinted at in Trademark
After all the money, time, and effort I spent on Theatrhythm, I'll be mad if the announcement is the same game for 3DS with exclusive features.
Re: Nintendo Confirms Wii U "Price Reduction Initiative" in Europe from 4th October
Nice bundles.
Why can't they make one that includes a game I want?
Re: Wii U Name Isn't To Blame For Poor Sales, Says Reggie
The WiiU's name isn't any more confusing than the names of the SNES, XBox360, and Gameboy Advance.
Re: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD Hero Mode Details Sail Into View
Is this confirmed?
Re: Rumour: Potential Wii U Pokémon Title Could be a Fighting Game Called Pokkén Fighters
I wish they'd think of a better name than Pokkén.
Re: GameStop Defends Xenoblade Chronicles Pricing, Plans More "Vintage Titles" Like Metroid Prime Trilogy
Ditto all the "since when is vintage only a year old?" comments.
@Blue_Yoshi Or more likely they would remove such a game from the eshop like they did with Zelda Four Swords Anniversary and Donkey Kong Country.
Re: GameStop Defends Xenoblade Chronicles Pricing, Plans More "Vintage Titles" Like Metroid Prime Trilogy
I find Gamestop's excuse to be annoying, yet believable.
Nintendo has to stop selling games through exclusive retailers.
It. NEVER. ends. well.
Re: Nintendo Has Sold 268.97 Million Consoles And 385.15 Million Handhelds In 30 Years
It looks like console owners buy more games than handheld owners do.
Re: BBC Warns Of Online Gaming Addiction, Uses Image Of Someone Playing Offline Mario Kart
This is like that time a newspaper tried to report on my school. The article used stock pictures that were obviously from another school.
Re: Ghostlight Opens European Pre-Orders For Devil Survivor 2
They should just skip Devil Survivor 2 and give Europe the 3DS one.
Re: Review: Cloudberry Kingdom (Wii U eShop)
This review has made it very clear that the game is meant to be played on harder difficulties, but I would like to know more if anyone can tell me. Exactly how easy can you make the game before you lose all the fun, and how good do you have to be to enjoy it? Judging from the trailer, I'll be playing the game on "abusive" difficulty if I ever get it.
Re: Nintendo Most Likely To Produce Gaming-Centric Tablet, Says Game Designer Jesse Schell
This is actually a good idea for once.
Re: Classic SNES RPG Breath Of Fire II Is Coming To The North American Wii U Virtual Console
The review on this site doesn't make it sound like a very good game.

Re: Rumour: The Wind Waker HD May Have An Additional Difficulty Level
"More challenging" is not specific enough. I have to know in what way it's more challenging before I show any interest.
Re: Dragon Quest Monsters 2 Remake Coming to 3DS in Japan
I am slightly surprised that these are not being localized, as we got both Jokers for DS.
Re: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destines DLC Won't Feature The Quiz in The West
@Daggo I meant the HD collection, but I wasn't aware it had so many flaws because I haven't played it. You get what you pay for, I guess.
Re: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destines DLC Won't Feature The Quiz in The West
@KingBoo01 You would be best off getting the iOS version.
Re: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destines DLC Won't Feature The Quiz in The West
I wouldn't have bought it, but it couldn't hurt to include it.
Re: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies DLC Confirmed For The West
Neither article explains exactly what the quiz is, but providing 3/4 as DLC suggests it is content stripped from the game.
Re: Spin the Bottle: Bumpie's Party Confirmed For An August Release
It sounds fairly expensive for a game whose price will go up. I am still looking forward to the game and will possibly buy it.
Re: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies Has Some DLC in Japan
@DePapier They're called Benjamin Hunter and Dick Tektiv in French Ace Attorney? I played the Spanish Justice for All, and the English names were used for almost every single character. It was lame, and I would have hated it if my English weren't better than my Spanish.
Re: Nintendo Comments On EarthBound's Inflated Pricing
$10 is fine IF they are serious about deciding prices on a game-by-game basis.
And will you guys quit pretending the high cartridge price justifies the VC price? The game was never SUPPOSED to cost over $100 originally.
Re: Review: Pikmin 3 (Wii U)
I guess I have to get this now.
Re: Soapbox: The 8-Bit Era Laid the Groundwork, but Modern Day Progress Shouldn't be Discounted
This is a common sense piece, not a soapbox.
Re: Soul Calibur II HD Online Not Announced For Wii U
I'd have bought it. I never had Soul Calibur 2.
@Magikarp People say it was.
Re: TowerFall Creator Has Been Approached By Nintendo
That looks like something I might enjoy.
Re: Soapbox: When It Comes To Software Support, The Grass Isn't Always Greener
@Savino What bad multiplatform games did the Gamecube have? All the ones I played were equal to the PS versions.
