Was there ever any more evidence of Luigi's Mansion and Kid Icarus: Uprising coming to Wii U? I seem to remember both showing up on various retailer sites about 6 to 9 months ago.

Blackgate worth 20 ?
Eh, it's a pretty solid game. I'm a big fan of the original DuckTales (though I've only played the excellent Game Boy port) and I had a lot of fun with this new version, too. True, the cutscenes can get annoying, but apart from that I think it's a faithful & entertaining remake. At that price you can't go wrong (if you have a fondness for the genre).
I understand. Unfortunally i had zero fun with this game
I dont feel too stupid to have bought it at full price because at that time i had nothing to play on my WiiU (it did had some games, but only very expensive ones)> But looking now, i dont see any reason at all to buy it. At any price (maybe at $2 or $3)

I have zero nostalgia on Duck Tales, since I've never played the original. Even so, I bought the remake a few months ago and had lots of fun with it. It only took me a few hours to go through it in hard mode, but I think it was worth it. Loved the music, by the way.
Still hoping for this one :/
Nintendo updated its website, and no mention of Kid Icarus : Uprising anymore... I say, this looks fishy!

That's definitely something Nintendo of Europe would do. 1) Wednesday release instead of Thursday; 2) listing removed after being added... Yeah, something's definitely going on

I'd be fine either way, I might even stomach the high pricing it would get.
3DS
Thanks. That is weird. What would be the significance of this? Just a price drop?
Game isn't available digitally on the eShop in Europe. We figured this might be to celebrate Palutena's announcement in Smash, this Wednesday.

Wants the largest console games publisher to avoid Nintendo's platforms.
Well, I'm getting it just to support Armature, if nothing else (though I do have my hopes for the game). I'll report back.
I think so, yes.
For Nintendo Pocket Football Club
What's the € pricing then like? 11.99 and 14.99?
It was a full retail title in Japan, the pricing looks alright.
Expensive? That was a retail title in Japan! Actually, that's pretty much what I was expecting.
@Xater : EU price is to be confirmed, unfortunately.
How is that expensive for a title that was full retail priced in Japan? :-/

I appreciate it was a retail title in Japan. But here, it's not. As a consumer, my purchase decisions aren't based on how things were elsewhere.
Right now it's an eShop title that looks, at first glance, to have about as much "game" as the likes of Pushmo, Picross, Mutant Mudds, VVVVVV, etc. And those are all cheaper. All I can compare it to are other games on the service.

I don#t know what that means. Do you mean content or gameplay or what? It's a football manger, not as complex as the one by Sega but that is still quite something.
Considering you can get for £10.79 (75% off what was the normal Japanese price), I'd say the pricing is right for what it is. We got Phoenix Wright for £20 and I'd say there's more 'game' in Nintendo Pocket Football Club than that.
my first tought was the exact opposite: I was expecting a way higher price!
that's a great news for everybody: this game was a full retail game in Japan, has TONS of contents and, if interested in some sort of Football Manager with Sensible Soccer 8-bit graphics, it's a must have!
really: contents are not an issue from what I've seen/played for this game.
Imagine that you could go ahead and ahead with championship after championship, with new training, player trades, online ranking matches and so on and on...
I support this. And with the upcoming World Cup, there should at least be an audience for it.
Only if we get that baseball game.
I really don't get why Nintendo isn't releasing digital games everywhere. Just seems dumb to me.

Assuming NOA were to release it and follow what the € pricing looks like it could be* using the classic rule of €=$ (it does not always apply, NES remix is a perfect example though maybe it is due to us Europeans lacking nostalgia for the NES) that would be $12 with a regular price of $15. Of course getting NOA to release Pocket Soccer is like getting NOE to release Devilish Brain Training (oh what was this again, a sequel to one of the best selling DS games? and it flopped everywhere? shouldn't a flop still be a number worth noticing?), Chibi Robo or Rusty's Real Deal
*-10.79 is 10% off 12 which is how the UK eShop prices are derived from €.
Me too man, me too.....
I wonder if the preorder numbers were so low that they cancelled the retail version to schedule a digital-only release.
You are not the only one...
Specialy if you consider that "here" includes BRAZIL

So looking at the official site I notice it mentions DLC teams. Paid for ones. Seems like an odd addition.
Anyway heres the Iwata asks. I hope volume 2 gets translated.
From the Iwata asks it sounds more like a wait and see game for me.

Pocket Football for just over £10!
Wooooooooooooooow, I'm genuinely impressed. Can't wait for it!
Anybody know the block size?
Sounds about right, I was one of the presumed few who did pre-order and I think it was cancelled within a week or two of the release date. A sudden last minute decision like that had to be based on projected sales.
I'd want it digital now anyway so it works out better if they finally release it on the shop only, better be cheap after the long wait too!

I was up until 4 stuck in a stalemate on this:
I've put in like 14 hours into this game already. It's fucking ridiculously addicting.
(EDIT)
Aw crap...h=
