@DaveCook Does it support the Circle Pad Pro like Galaxy Force 2 did ? The only time I have ever managed to play Afterburner Climax properly was on the actual machine but it needs a separate stick for the throttle.
@Yosher I think they do lose when proper High Street specialist games shops are selling USA games. (e.g Mario 64 they are doing that for at one close to me right now). Just making it a choice (And locking the 1st party) I don't see why they don't go for that.
(The Louvre guide shows it is possible for them to do).
@kokirii No but if it isn't fixed very soon I am going to get none of these. (Metroid is going to take loads of space). I will get all three or zero. (I have the disks already).
"Nintendo is powerless to stop this" - They are not they can make as many as they want to. Problem is they prefer this situation to potentially Amazon getting too many and selling them at £10-£20 less for a day.
@SanderEvers Bravely Default is a terrible game yes. It is like they got everything working with the game but forgot to add any content. (Other than grinding that you can pay to win to get out of).
@Quorthon Any type of levelling especially in an FPS but in anything online generally is the worst possible gameplay mechanic. The only thing that should matter is skill in that particular game.
So basically the UK price for the standard version is the same price as the € XL. If that is the case I think I will just get mine from Amazon.fr or Amazon.de. (I think the warranty situation with the EU is ok).
@WaLzgi Playing it with the equivalent of a save state would break it completely though. As long as it still ends with a perfect run needed though the cycle then it will be fine.
I did the survey and said they should be as a form of DLC as good value as say the MK8 DLC or NSLU. (As it stands the current value is worse than even some of Capcom's absolute worst like Streetfighter X Tekken).
"Also, in what might be controversial for some, getting hit while having a Cape Feather or Fire Flower will not instantly make you small as in the original, but take you down to “Super" size instead."
@ZenTurtle In Japan space is it at a massive premium. A tiny extra room (Added to say a central Tokyo flat) would mean you would need something like 1000$ profit each month for it to be worth it. Thats why on ebay they are people with say 10000 SFC Controllers and individuals and not much inbetween.
I am a firm believer in same price across platforms (Regardless of any other factors). I am going to get Shovel Knight again for that reason (Already bought it on Steam when it came out but it got a discount on Steam and on Wii U at roughly the same time and I believe in that).
At least you can somewhat see what you are doing with this. (I will attempt and usually succeed ifixit ratings of about 5 or above(With no other factors like losing content)). Still think I am better off ruining the odd device then paying all the time.
Are these affiliate links ? If they are it is really scummy when they are not even the best price.
i.e Wii Party U - The Game Collection £9.99 or Shopto £10.85. Or from Ratukan listed as £10.95 from the Game Collection but then use code XMAS5 to get £5 of a £10 spend.
@StarDust4Ever If they were bothered about emulating stuff properly there would not yet have been any N64 VC at all. (That reason would be acceptable if they had done perfect emulation for the DSP in the N64 but they didn't they used the same technique that up until very recently was used for Super FX).
@XCWarrior Super Mario Kart is the only one that is not designed as a party game (Which is great locally with friends of various levels but totally pointless online).

Re: New Exploit Makes The 3DS Region Free Without The Need For A Flashcard Or Game Cart
Best part of this is Smealum's comment on Neo-Gaf. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=147851798&postcount=239 (Probably be banned for it).
Re: A New Rhythm Heaven Game On Nintendo 3DS Is Music To Our Ears
I would prefer something similar but for Warioware.

Re: Nintendo's amiibo Website and Compatibility Chart Has All The Answers
That specifically goes against what was said in the EU Direct. (i.e Smash Bros Wario can work fully with Mario Party 10).
Re: Retro Studios Launches Twitter Account And Sets Off The Rumour Mill
@Mega719 They are not even verified so it could be anybody.
Re: Video: Does Super Mario Galaxy 2 On Wii U Offer Anything New?
@brooks83 And allow using the Gamepad to do so. (If they can support it for games they can support it for VC/Wiiware).

Re: Pokémon Shuffle is a Match-Three Game With Slightly Worrying Micro-Transactions
Does the 3DS really need more match 3 games ?
Re: Video: Does Super Mario Galaxy 2 On Wii U Offer Anything New?
@FragRed Maybe they are saving it for Windwaker HD type treatment at some point.
Re: Splatoon Confirmed for May Release Along With Details on Customisation

Re: Wii Disc Software Heading to the Wii U eShop
Wii U GamePad would act as a Wii Classic Controller - Totally worthless as Sin & Punishment is the only one that supports it.
Re: Mario Party 10 Gets It Started With Wii U on 20th March
When it says boards does that mean completely new board with associated mini games ?
Re: YouTube Update Spruces Up Wii U App
If it shows youtube ad's in this app there is no way I would use it when the one on my Smart TV doesn't for whatever reason.

Re: New Nintendo 3DS Ambassador Edition Promotion is Suddenly Available to More Club Nintendo Members
@WingedSnagret The alternative is scalpers getting all of them. I think that is worse. (See the GC adapter going back in stock in NA).
Re: GameCube Controller Adapter for Wii U Stock on Nintendo of America Store Disappears as Quickly as it Arrives
@ACK It is worse than that anything slightly cheaper than normal gets bought and relisted on ebay at RRP (Dunno how that works for them).
Re: GameCube Controller Adapter for Wii U Stock on Nintendo of America Store Disappears as Quickly as it Arrives
@ultraraichu Because PDP don't make good stuff. The Hori ones look good but are also hard to get.
Re: From Soy Sauce Hopes to Bring Touhou Super Smash Battles to Wii U
Both games look like they would be in the top 5 eshop releases for me.
No more blatent really than some of the Streetfighter 2 clones were. (Probably more original).
Re: First Impressions: The Next Penelope is Futuristic Retro Racing at its Best
I have bought every indie game I know of that was like Micromachines and I don't like any of them.
So I will certainly be getting this. (Maybe it is the one).
Re: Gunman Clive 2 Delayed for a Few Weeks More
I was more interested in that Zelda thing he was doing but stopped.

Re: Lucky New Nintendo 3DS Ambassador Gamers Jump Straight to eBay to Flog Systems
@kenzo The only customers who game Nintendo are the ones with flashcarts. The rest get either a fair (3D World / Smash Bros) or Unfair (NSMB2) deal.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo's Wise to Embrace The Vital YouTube Audience
@WaveyChristmas Playing Super Mario Bros 2 (J).
Re: Review: Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World (Wii U eShop / Game Boy Advance)
"Also, in what might be controversial for some, getting hit while having a Cape Feather or Fire Flower will not instantly make you small as in the original, but take you down to “Super" size instead."
That totally nerfs the difficulty.
Re: Donkey Kong Grabs a Place in List of Highest-Grossing Arcade Machines
It doesn't state whether it is money made by the operator (From usage) or money made from selling the cabinets.
I cannot see how the first would be recorded but then mentioning revenue being earned one quarter at a time seems pointless.
Or did it work in another way to operator buys machine for large fixed cost and takes all money.
(I do know the network ones like ALL.Net work different).
Re: Shigeru Miyamoto Confirms Playable Star Fox for E3, a Future for F-Zero and More
@Moon Why ? The only the genre that it is beneficial for is Racing. Mario Kart never used it.
It is worse for fighting / fps or when it is just mapped to a standard action.
Re: Shigeru Miyamoto Confirms Playable Star Fox for E3, a Future for F-Zero and More
@Grumblevolcano Proper fix would be a wheel and pedals (Like the F-Zero AX Controls).
Re: 3D After Burner II Set to Jet Into Europe on 15th January

Is there not some that have less than 10 known copies in existence ? e.g Stadium Events
Re: Nintendo Download: 8th January (Europe)
It would be preferable to wait 2 years for me instead of getting a 50hz VC release.
Re: Video: Hacker Demonstrates Fully Functional Game & Watch amiibo in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U
So wait there is a Gamepad emulator for Linux ? That allows messing around with Amiibo related stuff ?
Re: Video: This Incredible Retro Gaming Collection Will Blow You Away

Re: Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World
I think the less amounts of hits allowed in the original is better. (Stops cheap tricks on the later levels).
Problem is I think the emulator for the GBA is much better so I might end up with both.
I also despise the Star Coins system.
Re: Two Tetris Titles Pulled From the 3DS eShop in North America
I like the original GB one in multiplayer but I only get to play it when I come across someone with two gameboys and a link cable.
Re: Two Tetris Titles Pulled From the 3DS eShop in North America
I want Puyo Puyo Tetris that is all. (Think the Sega Ages Tetris games in multiplayer are better than DS).
Ubisoft ruins everything.
Re: The N64 Almost Got A Multiplayer-Focused Doom Sequel
@dumedum Against friends ? I played a bit over null modem. (Serial Cable)
But for deathmatch it really needs more than two players.
Never had LAN when I was using DOS.
Re: Year in Development: Nyamyam

Re: Video: Nintendo Minute Reveals Its Game of the Year Winners
I don't think MK8 is much fun at all. (Thinking about trying again with motion controls).
I would go for Tropical Freeze (Difficulty curve not as good as Returns) or Smash Bros.
Re: The N64 Almost Got A Multiplayer-Focused Doom Sequel
That time was all about 3dfx for me. (Still think FPS should be played on a PC). Never liked split screen.

Re: Poll: Which is the Best Mario Kart Game?
@bizcuthammer The GBA and SNES entries are better in one key area. The racing part. (i.e its a racing game not a party game).

Re: Nintendo Download: 25th December (North America)
@JaxonH It is possible for it to work accurately without a cross hair. (House of the Dead 2 & 3 manages it if it is calibrated properly).
