So, Nintendo has just tweeted about some issues with the Nintendo eShop. Seems it's buckling under the load of Golden Week, akin to the load caused by Pokémon Bank. http://www.nintendo.co.jp/netinfo/en_GB/index.html They added a note saying that these are the error codes you will get: 「００７－２９１６」「００７－２９１３」「００９－２９１６」 「００９－２９１３」 and that if you get them, you should try again later. This makes sense since, earlier today, the new 3DS promotion in Japan begun where if you got a new 3DS XL, you got a download code for either Youkai Watch or Animal Crossing.

They learned their lesson when Iwata had to publically apologise for the poor showing that year :p

Because E3 is where gaming companies go to drop da bomb

The standard bundle with MK8 without all that is £250

I'm also now convinced we'll get a port of Pac-Man VS on the eShop right after the E3 presentation, and after the revealing of Pac-man in Super Smash Bros. Na, they won't show that at E3. You can practically guarantee that.

Prove it :p

Actually played this game for the first time last month while doing a review of the Virtual Console for a friend's site. I found it was rather good. While it is linear, sure, it's great fun and has me wanting a new 2D Metroid. It's definitely a good game that everyone should play.

Nope, and I doubt we'll get a big one next month. It's all about E3

Maybe she does yoga so it's easier for her to do it rather than for a guy in his mid-20s :p

I'll be getting one soon

If only this was a Wii U game...oh wait. What, you mean that they can market the console with the game, especially as there's a bundle of it? NO WAY

It is €9.99

Well they have confirmed Mario Kart 8 will get a year long marketing campaign, so that's something.

Yeah, I also had a choice of Age 12 or Medium since I'm a pretty thin guy. What the hell is Age 12 in terms of size? Had to go with medium. Guess I'll never wear it Anyway, Nintendo has announced that they'll be promoting this game fully for a year.

We won't be seeing that as of mid-June

Pic of the day. MegaMan.EXE! X! Mega Man! Mega Man Star Force! Mega Man Volnutt! The Mega Man legends, united.

Slow and steady wins the race

EU release for this on May 8th

Many of those Pokémon were seen coming out of PokéBalls at the start. While they're not confirmed, they're pretty damned likely.

You're complaining about things in an optional bundle exclusive to the Nintendo online store and using it as a basis for the entire thing being iffy?

Harsh :p It just that the smoothing really seems to fit and work with this game, and this is coming from someone who is rather anal about these things.

Doesn't mean anything. Pokémon Tretta Lab Main System is translated like that, and there's no chance in hell that's coming here.

So, I used the Screen Smoothing filter on Yoshi's Island and I think that it actually makes the game look better and more in line with the aesthetics, to the point it could potentially be passed off as a new game (to an extent) Am I being crazy?

Wii Remotes are £35. Strategy guides are £15. That's the £50 there. Then add the Wii Wheel, let's say £5. The hat, let's say £5. The Hori case, let's say £5. That's still a £15 saving

Na, that's still too much according to people on GAF
