That's strange. They announced yesterday it would be out in Europe on Nov 25th. So cramming it into the busy release period at the end of November is perfectly fine here for some reason.

@Baha05 It is if you don't read blogs like this and you're left wondering where the hell the games are. And it could have been simple by just listing them all in the eShop only viewable by those who are eligible, since they will have put the NES games on the eShop for everyone eventually anyway. But it seems Nintendo have no way of giving accounts special access, and only have a way of editing the downloaded titles of each account.

Trust Nintendo to make it overly complicated. Oh well, as long as I can get the games.

Now I'm scared to approach 10 year old kids on the street. THEY'RE BORN KILLERS!

I know it's only a mock up, but if they were to move the A, B, X, Y buttons down for a new analog stick I wouldn't like it too much. The D-Pad is in an awkward position but it's fair because it's not the main control input. Moving the actual main input buttons to a low position would seriously be a pain in the ass. Although it makes sense if they want it to fit with the look of the Wii U.

Anyway, I hope this isn't true. They want us to buy this current console now, then upgrade (or feel like we wish we should have waited) next year? I'd have some serious questions about a move like that.

@Ospov Indeed. I've got Sonic Generations, Mario and Sonic 2012, Tales of the Abyss and now this coming out in the space of three weeks. I also read a rumour that Super Mario 3D Land would be out 18th Nov in the UK to add to a list of big games in that month. I'm gonna have to prioritise one or two and leave the rest until I've finished them.

Anyway, on the subject of the Wii Remote Plus bundle, I thought Nintendo said at E3 it would be bundled with a special golden, Zelda themed Remote Plus?

@(Unverified) I agree. I bought the 3DS on launch day (I only paid about £160 for it with my GAME points I used) and the price drop doesn't bother me at all. Yes it is early, but it was always going to drop in price anyway. I know I wouldn't have been able to resist buying one for this long so I still would have paid full price, more in fact because they had a lot of special launch prices going around. I've enjoyed the system so far and used it almost every day. If I had not purchased it when I did, there would be a ton of games for me to catch up on which I have played already.

If not the 20 free games I would be a little bothered, but with the 20 games, I'll take that thank you very much.

Wait a minute, am I missing something or did they just confirm the release of both NES and GBA games on the 3DS virtual console?

And, is this just for America?

I think some of it was new. Like the vine swinging and the Goron? I don't think I've seen that in a trailer yet.

I think it's safe to say this game won't be rushed.
