In that case they sure as hell won't store it as ISO's, they'll use their native formats.

Sorry to kill your attempts to be a party pooper.

well well well
you pooped the party pooper WELL DONE

I know, right? God forbid they give shit away.

And man, did you know that sometimes game companies lower prices? WHAT ASSHOLES! I mean some people had to pay $60 for a game, when later buyers could get it for less... fuck you, video game companies.

</snark>

Pointless sarcasm aside, I don't believe any of these games have lowered in price much. But you completely, COMPLETELY, miss the point. It's them giving shit to people who don't even have one yet, and leaving the people who supported in the first place in the dust.

I'm rather pissed about the 3DS XL + PkmnMD/DarkMoon promo they're doing. Thank you, Nintendo, for fucking over the early adopters of the XL. Make it really hard to justify buying these things sometimes.

That's what you get for being an early adopter - you give up future deals/sales/bundles/etc. in exchange for using it sooner. That's the name of the game.

Yep, I still have all my gaming hardware. 2600, 5200, NES (Front and Top), Game Boy Orig, SNES, Game Boy Color, N64, PS1(Orig and slim), PS2(Orig and slim), GCN, GBA, GBA SP, DS Orig, DS Lite, Wii, PS3, 360, DSi XL, 3DS, 3DS XL, and Wii U. I think that covers them lol.

DAMN!, I would have been like you too, but my mum thought that my sega megadrive was too old and she put it in the bin. BUT one day I'm going to have an collection like yours, If not better.

you should post your collection in this thread.

DKC 3D
Mario & Luigi RPG 4 (to be honest I'd rather it was in the same 2D style as before)
Mario Golf 3DS (hopefully better than the lacklustre Mario Tennis...hopefully the RPG mode is back but I doubt it. Still I really like the graphic style.)
Band Brothers 3DS

Yeah I need a new 3DS now! I've so far been left a bit unimpressed with the 3DS and the likes of Mario 3D Land haven't really made me miss owning a 3DS. Might grab a Fire Emblem edition as it looks fancy and I really want to play that game too.

I wish Nintendo would go back to the GBA style Mario & Donkey Kong rather than the Mini's games. Two was more than enough and I'm hankering for another old school DK game, sure it'll never be anywhere near as good as the GB remake but I'd love a new one all the same.

Funny how a side character like Luigi is getting so much love for having his 30th Anniversary and yet Metroid, Donkey Kong, Zelda and even Mario got so little (in some cases nothing at all). Nothing for the 20th Anniversary of StarFox either.

I'm confused, I thought this direct was supposed to be about wii U's 3rd party support and it turned out to be mostly about 3ds stuff (which I'm glad about, don't get me wrong) but I really wanted them to show us some non nintendo exclusives for me to feel less crappy about getting this system. Looks like it will join my Wii in collecting dust for a while.

That one is still coming up.

 

[zanfire]

oh, didn't know that, thought they said "the next one" was gonna be about that. Do they have any time frame on when it's coming?

Not being specific to the 3DS.

But you completely, COMPLETELY, miss the point. It's them giving shit to people who don't even have one yet, and leaving the people who supported in the first place in the dust.

And users who buy a system later get it $20 off and such.

Hell, I bought Borderlands 1 with all the DLC as a pack for $25 on Steam.

So Fuck Steam and Ubisoft for selling bundles with DLC cheaper than the original game! I mean HOW DARE THEY give people how buy later MORE stuff, right?

 

[Ethevion]

Donkey Kong Returns 3D! That is officially on the top of my list now!

 

[pwsincd]

It's a retail ROM hack. Quite seriously, too - "you traverse the 80 levels of NSMBU which were altered to create a unique Luigi adventure".

You mean you can play NSMBU as luigi ... a novel idea where did they think of such a thing...

It's unclear what they mean by "altered levels" - it may be something fun, it may be pretty lame. Iwata did say that the development is "comparable to the development of a full game" but in the context of New Super Mario Bros. that doesn't really say much.

They're new levels. So yeah, a ROM hack, but 80 new levels all together. I wonder if that means Star Road levels too...

The way I understood it, it'll be the same "Worlds" as in Super Mario Bros. U, just altered to be unique.

 

[tj_cool]

I believe they meant the overworld maps would remain the same, but the levels are all changed for Luigi (I'm guessing Luigi plays slightly different).

There's a few images in the press pack, but I don't have the game so I can't compare.

 

[Deleted_171835]

Mario and Luigi 4, yessssss! This is the game I was anticipating from the moment the 3DS was reveleaed. I absolutely adored all three previous entries and the artstyle seems to have transitioned into 3D without losing much charm.

But uh Harmoknight, Dillon's Rolling Western: TLR, and that Mario golf game look nice.

Oh and I'll finally get to play Donkey Kong Country Returns without that annoying waggle to roll!

...It's DLC, not a retail game.

 

[Foxi4]

We all know it's DLC soulx.

retail (Adjective)

1. Of, or relating to the (actual or figurative) sale of goods or services directly to individuals.

 

[Deleted_171835]

Mistook that as you thinking it was a retail store release as a separate game.

But I would expect those levels to be like Super Mario 3D Land's bonus 8 worlds. While most of them were based off existing levels, they changed just enough that they were like new levels with different objectives (get all the purple coins or whatever).

 

[The Real Jdbye]

I would have loved some Zelda news, but I wasn't really expecting it, so overall I was pretty happy with this Nintendo Direct.
Pretty happy about getting more content in NSMBU as well

As long as it's entertaining and unique in comparison to the original I have no gripes with it whatsoever.
