Wow! Bummer! Japan wins again!

Nintendo also announced Hulu Plus. Wii and Nintendo 3DS users will be able to instantly stream thousands of TV episodes - including the entire current season of popular shows like Modern Family, Glee, Dancing with the Stars, The Biggest Loser, House and Grey's Anatomy - from premium content partners like ABC, Comedy Central, FOX, NBC, MTV and many more. Hulu Plus also offers access to classic TV favorites like Lost, Battlestar Galactica, The Hills and hundreds of popular and award-winning movies.

We finally have a messaging system? I've waited for this for a long time.
Excited for pretty much all the games other than Samurai Warriors.

We finally have a messaging system? I've waited for this for a long time.

It can even send photos and sounds, to friends via the web or even to strangers via StreetPass.

What I am reallllyyy hyped, is the 8 player online on juicy 60 FPS 3D and an international steak with community channel sauce.

8 player online 60FPS... my mouth is frothing with desire... desiiiiiirrrrrrrrreeeeee.

 

[Sheimi]

I wonder if the E-shop improvement will include the GBA games.

 

[Necron]

The only bad thing is that we cannot have that limited edition because of the stupid region lock.

Fixed it. Stupid live editor screwed up.

 

[Janthran]

Kid Icarus is only free in Japan? Dangit, I'm never going to get any 3D games.

Also: Hulu Plus is coming to Wii AND 3DS! I'm just glad that the Wii gets another new feature!

I think the big question is why anyone would want to play Kid Icarus.

I've played a few NES games and Kid Icarus was just plain bad. Either it was bad back then or it aged terribly. I couldn't find any enjoyment out of it. At least Uprising is nothing like its predecessors.

 

[Janthran]

Oh yeah, does the transfer thing mean I can give my friend my copy of LAX that I bought from the eShop?
I won't need it.
*acekard*

 

[Thrust]

I have to disagree, I quite enjoyed kid Icarus. When are the american nintendo fans getting some exclusive consoles and games, sup with that

 

[DinohScene]

Finally a reason to use my 3DS other then a stepcounter.

About create your own community on MK, you just send out the 14 digit code out to your friends and they can join. Seems pretty convenient for a quick tournament over the weekend. =P

 

[KingVamp]

Was going to get Mario 3d land, but I think I'll get Kart instead.
