"free-to-google"

I'm amused some people are that surprised the mobile games would be F2P. Fire Emblem especially would go up against other "tactical" games in the mobile space and, additionally, Japanese consumers are known for spending quite a bit in microtransactions. It's just the best approach for the current market.

No, it's a regular one-time-purchase game with no microtransactions.

They use the term as a more honest way of describing the free to play model.

Oops. Well this is the model I like, but i think a proper fire emblem game would work fine on a phone, hopefully it's not drowned in f2p nonsense.

Hopefully they'll be like Pokemon Picross and be good games with stupid F2P energy mechanics that you can pay a reasonable amount of money to remove.

I'm just glad that this means they're (hopefully) going to be actual games! I was worried we'd get what were basically just companion apps or something, like that Animal Crossing Plaza on Wii U.

Nintendo said the Animal Crossing app will be a companion title to a console game and the Fire Emblem would be more accessible than standard FE games, that's all we know.

Spirit Tracks literally got to a point where I couldn't proceed past one of the dumb as hell flute sections. Like I was turning off fans, my television an going into rooms that were completely quiet. I had done a few of the earlier dumb as hell flute puzzles so I don't know what was going on, but I stopped playing the game and in my opinion it is in fact the worst Zelda.

How often does PW Trilogy go on sale on the eShop? I can't find my DS carts and want to replay them before the new one, so if it's often I might just pick it up from the eShop instead of digging around forever.

I'm picking between the 3ds and Wii U version of Citizens of Earth from the Humble Bundle. Is one version better than the other because of bugs or anything I should know about?

Pick the U one; the 3DS one freezes and thus randomly loses progress.

Guess talking about it for the last two page caused Nintendo to listen. How does the gimmick with the map work when you can't close the screen anymore?

So as of tomorrow, the only mainline Zelda games not playable on an NA Wii U, besides the GB/GBC titles, will be Majora's Mask and Spirit Tracks, with Skyward Sword available for physical but not digital play.

(This is excluding Four Swords Adventures for obvious reasons)

If Nintendo is trying to build Zelda hype before E3, will we see at least one of Majora's Mask, Spirit Tracks, or Skyward Sword added to VC before E3?

Pretty sure you can play Majora's Mask through Wii's Virtual Console.
