@ZenTurtle The DLC is crazy there are people selling the bundles NSMB2 codes for £17.99 (Which include the game and DLC) for less than just the DLC which is at £20.

@darthllama That practice is legal in the US. (Not in the EU - Nintendo got a huge fine for it. The customers who got ripped off got nothing from it though).

The shopto deal at £99.99 with both NSMB2 (+ the DLC) + MK7 for about £100 is a great deal. (Just the codes at the moment are being sold for £17 which is less than just the NSMB2 DLC on its own).

@ogo79 Yeah but if the overall revenue drops by something like 50% then the sensible thing to do would be to reintroduce it but I don't think Nintendo is a company that works like that.

@Uberchu I don't think that works for the EU sadly.

@DarkJamD Its roughly retail price - VAT at 16%. (Dunno why 16% as nowhere in the EU uses it but that is what it seems to be. 15% would make more sense for Luxembourg). That is for the Uk.

@WaveyChristmas Makes no difference that the backgrounds exist at all because whenever you play online nobody wants anything but the training room. 3D is not that important to me. (Without the framerate is fine). I wish more games allowed the choice.

How do the GBA originals compare to the versions I have on the DS cartridge. (Zero Collection - don't think I have even opened it yet).

@dadajo Won't affect Google they spend the most. (And have the massive amount of power associated with that).

@Smash_kirby If Giotek can do it then Nintendo has no excuses. Their cheap 3rd party controller has a switch allowing changing between the two modes.

@Drac_Mazoku DQ VIII and DQ IX both sold over a million copies outside Japan. Neither of the Theatrhythm games have sold even 0.5 million copies worldwide.

How about the Romancing SaGa games. (i.e certainly 3).

Only one I ever had getting the console was Gameboy - Tetris / Links Awakening and Super Mario Land 2 : 6 Golden Coins. (I might have got SML2 one day later from a relative).

@XFsWorld Probably mine as well - I didn't enjoy it as much as Returns though sadly. (For Returns I had a solid month where it couldn't have been better).

I am not interested in the genre but I do think the Wii U should have more diversity. (ZombiU is technically flawed which I am not interested in).

Best part of print magazines (Not official ones however) is the person buying it is a customer not only advertisers.

Just looked at some of the content now. Wish I had known about it before good content (Hard to find these days).

I only read it when it actually had CVG (Not the full Computer and Video Games) printed on the cover.

"Julian Rignall" I remember from the Gamesmaster TV program and that is all.

@Artwark He said common platform. That doesn't necessarily mean the handheld / console even need to be the same architecture.

I would rather have cards - Don't have to be kept clean.

Don't like plastic junk lying about. (Mostly I don't like cleaning junk like that).

@Phil_Kavadias Why is Apple stuff not seen as "for dem gay geezers" I don't really understand that. (Looks above all else).

Its not surprising because they never stock new and always at a none competitive price compared to Amazon / Shopto / The Game Collection / cdkeys.com

@EarthboundBenjy The end of Links Crossbow Training I like as much as anything using the Wiimote. (Problem is Miyamoto wanted it to not be like that). Problem is it is about 10 mins in total.

How can e.g House of the Dead Overkill 2 & 3 work pretty well with the crosshair turned off. Whatever they did should be done.

What about the download codes from Game will they not work until 2nd January ? (If I can get it added to the DDP then I will get it asap.)

The standalone DLC for Giana Sisters is brilliant on PC. MIght as well be a different game it is loads better (Although the original is not locked to 30fps any more so it is better as well).

They played it safe and they should have done. (The actual content for Amiibo is worthless.)

@Quorthon I agree for the most part other than Game who have basically been giving the EU eshop monopoly. It is basically like a subsidy from which Nintendo is getting basically nothing.

@Grumblevolcano They are not, real hacks can be done by gateway users now afaict. (NSMB2 custom levels for example which means the doors are open the same as before).

Sky3DS isn't blocked (And it perhaps cannot be - maybe newer games could not work on it).

Ninjhax was not and is not really an issue.

@NintendoFan64 Total War / Company of Heroes and Football Manager get the most attention. (Followed by Aliens and Sonic with significantly less).

@LegatoSkyheart 400,000 copies for 3DS seems reasonable.

I found the first one the worst JRPG I have played to the end ever. (Got it as a present so felt compelled to). No content uninteresting story.

For me to get some the value has to be the same as say the Mario Kart DLC it isn't even close right now. (It is worse value than the NSMB2 DLC or Fire Emblem DLC).

@WaveWarlock $15 - 300,000 copies. 5 people. That is about 0.9 million dollars each. (Presuming it is split like that). Seems brilliant to me.

I like Puppy Games - all of them I have played. (Titan Attacks! / Droid Assault / Ultratron / Revenge of the Titans).

Curve studio's have too many technical problems. (Framerate drops and bad controls etc).

Thomas Was Alone works well but it is not for me.

Stealth Bastard Deluxe
Explodemon
Velocity Ultra

(If they worked better I think I would enjoy all of the above.)

A better article would have been one about why waiting to get a New 3DS is a good idea. (With the import option mentioned).

I would have bought this straight away a few months ago. But now I have loads of stuff to play so I am in no rush. (Time for buying stuff for others not for myself).

If I was in the USA I would be getting this : "Legend of Zelda Link Master Sword of Time - Real Carbon Steel Version" for my Nephew (Got him a foam one Twilight Princess one last year but a real sword is what he wants).

All of the modern Games Workshop stuff seems to be so dumbed down.

I tried to play Warhammer Fantasy Battle and it was probably too complicated for my age. Then I played the one after that just called Warhammer which was fine.

The new ones are like playing Snakes and Ladders.

Does it have the content that its price seems a fair deal or not though that is the question.

(80% of the content of 3D World or Smash Bros would be fair seen as it is 80% of the cost).

Bet it is only junk at anywhere near 80% off for the duration.

I think this is quite good already bought it on Steam. (It is better than 8 bit boy anyway).

https://www.tindie.com/products/low_budget/nes-super-8-v18 this looks like the right answer for anybody interested in using a NES. (Or the Analog Interactive one).

No guarantee even with more advertising people would want it. Advertising is expensive and if people want sports games / CoD WIi U doesn't have them.

Cannot see why it would be worth it. The White ones made originally for Wii users (Longer Cord) are very cheap in Japan new and sealed. (Seems impossible the new ones will be better).

Dunno why it was even granted. First Gameboy emulator was made in 1994.

@PlywoodStick It is a patent nothing to do with copyright.

I want Puyo Puyo Tetris. There was another Sega Tetris Japan only compilation for the PS2 that looks really good as well.

I won't be getting the Ubisoft one. (I may get Axis).

@ricklongo The motion controls are the whole point of it. I bet the 3DS one uses the touchscreen. Mouse would be the only other thing that could work as it has been described.

As in on a disk the Wii one ? (I might just import it and play that one if that is the case).

@FragRed They have stuff that always makes money and don't take too many risks. Total War and Football Manager are very safe bets. (Total War has loads of DLC as well that is hardly ever discounted so it must sell well). Then there is Sammy which also always makes money. Sonic and Aliens are the only even slightly risky things they do. Then there is Atlus as long as that makes a profit it is ok + AM2 making Arcade games (Border Break has made them 100,000,000$).

Problem is them being screwed over by Gearbox and Big Red Button Entertainment.

@rjejr One of the usb's will be just for power so a different colour. (Can be plugged into anything).
