Seriously. We haven't even got Netflix yet. All my "WTF"s.
Argh -.-
I'll have to wait for reviews instead I guess, but I'd much rather try it for myself.
One of our gaffers has a copy already. He's been posting screenshots in the browser screens thread.
Sega's given enough previews of the game that they seem to be confident in it. Please, I'm sure you can seek out impressions of the Japanese demo pretty easily. Just because Japan got a demo doesn't mean we are guaranteed to get one. Or did they say one was coming?
I can certainly appreciate your hesitation, but I've heard enough good stuff about the game that I'll jump in. Though it doesn't hurt that I'll be getting it for $40
just bought it for 7.19 . Hope it's as good as it looks
great, let me know! I'm really short on money, but I'd like to tru it...

Check this video. The Japanese demo can be played in either :
- Japanese
- English
- French
- Italian
- German
- Spanish
So yeah, the demo is already translated and everything (just like the actual game). Therefore, there's no reason for the demo NOT to be available anywhere else... especially since the Japanese launch won't happen before next week. So yup, doesn't make any sense.

Is the soon-to-be-removed from VC Yoshi's Cookie worth getting? I never played it, I have 1400 shop channel points just sitting around and wouldn't mind having another OG puzzler.
I just bought it and played it for a bit. I think it's really fun. Not sure why I never felt this way with the original SNES version when I used to own it, but the NES game is a solid puzzle game and it's a shame that it'll be taken down. I'd recommend it if you like puzzle games!

Every Thursday I hope for KORG M01D. I get Urban Champion instead.

I have no problem with slow trickle VC.
I just wish the slow trickle were with games that have substance and content in them.

Not actually that important
Well, I thought the promo was already effective from the week before, ence why my wording was more on the "don't tell me I've missed it" side instead of "why is it not there yet?".

Revenge of the Gator is actually a pretty decent pinball game.
why your visa don't work?
Yeah, I'm itching for them to put SoM up so I can finally upgrade it.
I use a Visa debit card as well & it works fine for me. I usually would just buy a game with exact change/add the exact amount needed. Wonder why it won't work for you.
Well it's a visa debit card in Canada, some places recognize it as a credit card, some won't.
Weird.
I use my visa card from desjardins with no problems, maybe it's with your bank.
Oh, I'm with TD.
Looks like your post was totally ignored. I don't know about any StreetPass feature for Zelda, I don't they've discussed it. What really interests me if the Nintendo Network Logo... do we know why?

Same here. Wonder if calling and complaining would do anything.
Huh? What's that about StreetPass and Pokémon? I have to admit, the only time of the year I get any StreetPass hits is at E3, so I got no idea what it does in Pokémon X and Y...
Revenge of the Gator is still fun, but maybe you had to be there at the time? I could see someone new to the game thinking it is a little lacking in content. But I'm loving it, blast from my past.
As for the other VC stuff, I'm no businessman or game designer, but why is it that it's a trickle? Why is it one game per week, or not even every week? It can't be that they're worried about cannibalizing sales by releasing two at the same time or more, can it?

The explanation from Nintendo is that each game has to be individually adapted for VC. It is not a simple emulator that Nintendo just drops games into and can release. What has never been explained is actually how much work is involved is putting a game on VC. It could be a week of work for a team or a month, nobody knows.
That is the same reason that getting more advanced games, like the N64 or T16, is difficult on the Wii U. The assumption is that it is even more difficult than for the 3DS because it has to work on the controller screen.
Just note, this is mostly speculation gleaned from the bits of information that has come out of Nintendo.
I don't believe so, and there's even some supporting evidence suggesting the game doesn't support Nintendo Network at all.
- Said eShop page doesn't include keywords like DLC, Local Play, or Nintendo Network, also says it's a single player game
- Official NOA game page uses a boxart without the cover, also says it's single player only
- UK retailer GAME revealed a special bundle of the game and the cover they use doesn't use the Nintendo Network logo, the DLC is meant to refer to the Link's Awakening DX download code
- Official Japanese site doesn't use the logo on the provided cover
Actually, you're right. Just checked the EU boxart, and there's zero mention of the Nintendo Network.... but then again, the first version of the EU boxart for The Wind Waker HD didn't have the Nintendo Network logo. I wonder what's wrong at Nintendo!
Yeah, I don't think there's any online features in ALBW. In most cases, that logo means it's compatible with Miiverse... which is very unlikely for that particular game.
