I can't avoid filling a game with awful memes, even if I want to. It's in my bones...!

It's lame that there isn't any preloading, but i don't really care about any other themes since the Dreamcast theme came out. I did like the 4g themes though, the felynes were so cheery!

The preorder will probably show up a day or two before release, and there's only a slim chance there will be a preload. Nintendo has only done that for a couple 3DS games IIRC; I feel like two were Smash 3DS and Pokemon X/Y, probably because they expected 1mil+ sales and didn't want to choke their servers on release day.

Edit: oh, if there's no digital preorder bonus then there may be no preorder at all.

I gave up on waiting for the digital pre-load and just went to gamestop :negative:

I guess it doesn't matter very much as long as I'll be able to start playing as soon as I get home from work on Friday.

I spent far more time playing the demo of Skate than I did playing skate 2. Something about having a small area to get used to the controls vs having a huge level and bailing everywhere desperately trying to make a three trick combo.

What's the over under of Pokemon Sun/Moon getting a 30% off thing with my Nintendo before Christmas? I'm tempted to get the digital version since it'll be the last 3ds Pokemon game anyway

This one is already on the PlayStation Store. There's nothing wrong with it, it just reminds me of the original NES/arcade one which fell flat for me. On the other hand, Adventure Island 2 on the NES (which is on the 3DS VC) is great and 3, which sadly isn't available anywhere that I know of, is even better - so much so that I bought a physical copy of it. AI3 is so good that someone made a complete overhaul mod for it called The Lost Isles which is just as good.

This just proves my theory that adding dinosaurs to something automatically makes it much better.

The game comes out when I'm usually turning in to sleep, so it suits me just fine. I'm so excited that we have finally broken the MH game skip. Did any of you PAL people happen to see what the MH themes looked like? I can't find them around the web and need to know just how many to buy when they come out here.

Just announced: "NES Classic Edition", a plug-and-play console with 30 NES games for $60, out November 11 in both regions:

REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--If you see a Nintendo Entertainment System on store shelves this holiday shopping season, you haven’t entered a time machine. (Unless everyone around you is wearing acid-washed jeans and neon leg warmers. If that’s the case, you may have unknowingly walked through a rift in the space-time continuum.) The most likely scenario is you are setting eyes on the Nintendo Entertainment System: NES Classic Edition, launching in stores on Nov. 11 at a suggested retail price of $59.99. That’s right: The NES is back! But this isn’t the same NES that you fondly remember. This new nostalgia-fueled system is a near-identical, mini replica of Nintendo’s original home console and plugs directly into your high-definition TV using an included HDMI cable. The console comes complete with 30 NES games built in, including beloved classics like Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, Metroid, Donkey Kong, PAC-MAN, and Kirby’s Adventure.

“We wanted to give fans of all ages the opportunity to revisit Nintendo’s original system and rediscover why they fell in love with Nintendo in the first place,” said Nintendo of America President and COO Reggie Fils-Aime. “The Nintendo Entertainment System: NES Classic Edition is ideal for anyone who remembers playing the NES, or who wants to pass on those nostalgic memories to the next generation of gamers.”

The system comes packaged with an HDMI cable, an AC adapter and one NES Classic Controller, which is patterned after the iconic design of the original NES controller. But you really just want to know the full list of 30 games, right? Feast your eyes on the fantastic collection of NES classics included with each and every system:

Balloon Fight™
BUBBLE BOBBLE
Castlevania™
Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest™
Donkey Kong™
Donkey Kong Jr. ™
DOUBLE DRAGON II: THE REVENGE
Dr. Mario™
Excitebike™
FINAL FANTASY®
Galaga™
GHOSTS’N GOBLINS®
GRADIUS™
Ice Climber™
Kid Icarus™
Kirby’s Adventure™
Mario Bros. ™
MEGA MAN® 2
Metroid™
NINJA GAIDEN
PAC-MAN™
Punch-Out!! ™ Featuring Mr. Dream
StarTropics™
SUPER C™
Super Mario Bros.™
Super Mario Bros. ™ 2
Super Mario Bros. ™ 3
TECMO BOWL
The Legend of Zelda™
Zelda II: The Adventure of Link™


There’s a little something for everyone: a nice mix of timeless favorites, cult classics and maybe even some games that you never got around to playing. Each is sure to bring back memories and produce plenty of new ones. You can even enjoy playing several of these games with two players by attaching a second NES Classic Controller, which will be sold separately at a suggested retail price of $9.99. A Classic Controller or Classic Controller Pro can also be used (each sold separately).

When connected to a Wii Remote controller, the NES Classic Controller can also be used to play Virtual Console NES games on a Wii U or Wii system. Playing these retro games using a retro controller makes the experience that much more authentic. And if you ever need to step away from the NES Classic Edition in the middle of a tough level (or take a break to call one of Nintendo’s helpful Game Counselors*), don’t worry about losing any hard-earned progress. Each game has multiple suspend points, so you can start where you left off at a later time, no passwords needed.


What’s old is new again with the Nintendo Entertainment System: NES Classic Edition. Relive past glories. Finish off that boss you never beat. Save the galaxy and rescue the princess!

*Please only call if you have indeed entered a time machine. The Game Counselor program no longer exists in 2016.
